Chapter 598 Hostile Forces!
Now Liu Ling plans to temporarily stop spreading the mercenary guild's sphere of influence. When the situation in the area stabilizes and the foundation is solid, then the mercenary guild will take off again.
"Well, I listen to Brother Liu!" Hearing Liu Ling's words, Xiao Jin nodded wildly. He had been running around all this time, which made Xiao Jin, who had always loved playing, feel a little tired.
"Xiao Jin, you should take a rest during this period. Leave the other matters to me. But remember, during Brother Liu's absence, if you encounter a strong person that you cannot deal with, you must crush Master's void in time. Jade Talisman!" Liu Ling reminded.
Hearing this, Xiao Jin's immature face also became serious, and he nodded continuously: "Brother Liu, don't worry, I have kept the master's Void Jade Talisman well!"
…
Early the next morning, Liu Ling summoned two elders with Dou Zong cultivation who were guarding the mercenary guild headquarters.
"Meet the president!"
"Meet the president!"
In the spacious hall, Bai Xiuyuan and another old man in black greeted Liu Ling, who was sitting at the head of the hall, respectfully.
Facing the two old men's greetings, Liu Ling also stood up from his seat, smiled and waved his hands and said: "Elder Bai, Elder Liu, there is no need to be so polite, sit down!"
"Thank you, President!"
After hearing Liu Ling's words, Bai Xiuyuan and Elder Liu sat down.
"Two elders, you must be very aware of the current development of the guild!" Liu Ling suddenly said after Elder Bai and Elder Liu had just sat down.
"President, the guild is developing at a rapid pace now. The 50,000-mile radius is all affected by the guild. It won't be long before there will be branches of our mercenary guild in every place in the entire northwest continent!" Just as Liu Ling finished speaking, Bai Xiuyuan stood up again and replied respectfully.
"The system established by the president is very complete. All mercenary groups have a strong sense of belonging to the guild. It is difficult for such an organization to grow!" Elder Liu continued.
The answers of these two people basically explained the achievements and advantages of the mercenary guild.
After hearing these answers, Liu Ling was obviously not very satisfied.
"Two elders, don't you have anything else to say?" Liu Ling frowned slightly and said softly.
As Liu Ling said these words, the atmosphere in the hall became a little subtle.
At this time, there was a hint of hesitation in the eyes of Bai Xiuyuan and Elder Liu.
"President, I think... I think that the current development speed of the guild is too fast. Perhaps it is time to slow down!" Elder Liu said hesitantly. Before that, Liu Ling's development momentum was too strong. Even though they knew these disadvantages, they did not dare to say them out in case Liu Ling was displeased. When Liu Ling asked this question today, Elder Liu also had a gambling mentality in his heart.
As Elder Liu finished speaking, Liu Ling's brows gradually widened.
"Elder Liu, your analysis is very good. The guild's development speed should slow down." Liu Ling nodded.
"I didn't expect that the president actually meant this. This time, all the limelight was taken out by Liu Jinnan!" After understanding what Liu Ling meant, Bai Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel regretful.
Bai Xiuyuan's cultivation is in the middle stage of the two-star Douzong, while Liu Jinnan is at the peak of the three-star Douzong, and has the highest cultivation level among the eight Douzong elders in the Mercenary Guild.
Bai Xiuyuan's cultivation level was not the highest among the other seven, but he was a smooth person, so he won the opportunity to stay at the headquarters.
At this moment, after understanding Liu Ling's thoughts, Bai Xiuyuan quickly summarized his words and said to Liu Ling: "President, for now, there are still many forces within the scope of the branch. Some are hostile to our mercenary guild, and some will even openly oppose our guild!"
"Oh, tell me, which forces are causing the trouble?" After hearing Bai Xiuyuan's words, Liu Ling asked, he basically left these matters to Bai Xiuyuan and Liu Jinnan to deal with. Chief, generally speaking, it is enough to take charge of the overall situation and lead the direction.
"President, according to what I know, there are probably three forces causing the most ferocious troubles. Among them, the Luo family in Tianya City, which is more than 13,000 miles away from the headquarters in the direction of Zhongzhou, even openly threatened Guoli. The nearest branch must not develop in that direction!" Seeing Liu Ling's expression, Bai Xiuyuan answered more seriously.
"The Luo family in Tianya City?...Tell me their details!" Liu Ling frowned again and asked after hearing what Bai Xiuyuan said.
"President, the Luo family in Tianya City is the most powerful family within a thousand miles of the area. The most well-known family in the city is that it has a space wormhole that leads directly to Zhongzhou. This is the former Dou Zun of the Luo family. What the ancestor left behind is that the Luo family is now in decline. It is no longer what it used to be. The ancestor of the Luo family, the strongest in the clan, is in the Five Star Douzong!" Bai Xiuyuan introduced in great detail after hearing Liu Ling's question.
"A space wormhole leading to Zhongzhou?"
After hearing what Bai Xiuyuan said, Liu Ling instantly extracted some key information.
"We will definitely march into Zhongzhou in the future. Since Tianya City has the space wormhole left by the powerful Dou Zun, maybe we can start there..." Liu Ling thought to himself.
After thinking for a moment and making a decision, Liu Ling said directly to Elder Bai and Elder Liu: "Okay, since the Luo family is causing the most trouble, let's settle the Luo family first!"
Liu Ling knew Bai Xiuyuan well. Although he was smooth, he was reliable. Since he dared to say that, there must be something wrong with the Luo family. Bai Xiuyuan didn't need to speak nonsense in front of Liu Ling.
"President, the current situation of the Luo family should be that there are three other Dou Zong masters. Although those three are only between one-star and two-star Dou Zong, with the Luo family's ancestors and a large number of Luo family masters, it would be troublesome for the vice president to deal with them alone. It would be better to mobilize some elders from other branches..."
Hearing Liu Ling's decision to take action against the Luo family, Bai Xiuyuan was analyzing and making some suggestions, but Liu Ling interrupted him directly.
"There is no need to mobilize other elders. This time, the vice president will stay at the headquarters, and I will go to Tianya City in person!" Liu Ling said in a deep voice.
"If the Luo family continues to be stubborn, they will be courting their own destruction!" Hearing Liu Ling's words, Bai Xiuyuan suddenly became excited. He was very confident in Liu Ling's strength.
