Fortunately, after arriving at the clan, the four of them seemed to care about their dignity in front of the clan members. None of them laughed anymore and continued to deal with their own matters as if nothing had happened.
Time passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the 29th year of Qiyuan.
This year, the weather was warm and the sun was shining brightly. Nothing major happened, but some undercurrents had already begun to take shape.
In the meeting hall, Chen Yang was dealing with the family’s matters. At this moment, Chen Xuan walked in.” Master, someone is looking for you.””
“Who is it?” Yang Chen said without raising his head.
“Patriarch, it’s an elder of the Li family. I’m not sure what his name is, but he didn’t say.”Chen Xuan said.
Hearing this, Chen Yang put down what he was doing and looked up at Chen Xuan.” Invite him in.””
“Patriarch, he has already left. He came here to deliver a message.”Chen Xuan said.
“Oh, what news?” Yang Chen asked.”
Chen Xuan thought about it seriously and immediately said,”It’s like this. Master Li seems to have something urgent to discuss with you. The elder doesn’t know what it is exactly, but Master Li said it’s urgent and asked you to hurry over.”
Hearing Chen Xuan’s words, Chen Yang understood. It must be about the Longyue Merchant Association outside the Endless Mountains.
Yang Chen nodded.” Alright, I understand. First Elder, help me deal with these matters. I’ll go to the Li family.””
“Yes.”
Immediately, Yang Chen got up and left, riding the Underworld Dragon to the Li family.
In the Li family, Li Kehui sat quietly on a chair. After dispersing all the elders, he was alone in a hall. He seemed to be thinking about something.
“Gu Mu, where did this person come from? Why did he say that?”
“Does Gu Mu not know that cooperating with my Longyue Chamber of Commerce is akin to digging the grave of the Royal Chamber of Commerce?”
“No, he knows. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have found the Li family.””
“Then here comes the problem. Since he knows the consequences of our matter, why is he still cooperating? Could it be that the conflict between the Yuan Consortium and the Royal Chamber of Commerce has already reached this stage?”
“Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. It’s better to wait for the Chen family head to come and ask for his opinion.”
Then, Li Kehui leaned back in his chair and rubbed his forehead with both hands, still thinking about these things.
Although the distance between the Chen family and the Li family was quite far, with the speed of the Underworld Dragon, Chen Yang successfully arrived at the Li family in half a month.
After learning that Yang Chen had come, Li Kehui quickly brought him to a hall and told Yang Chen all the news that Li Kehui had sent back.
Yang Chen nodded thoughtfully after hearing Li Kehui’s words.” So, you’re suspecting Gu Mu’s purpose?”
“That’s right.”
Li Kehui nodded,” This is obviously something that is detrimental to the Yuan Consortium of Commerce. As the president of Sun City, how could Gu Mu not know about this? Would these small profits ruin their original plan?”
“You’re right. Gu Mu is not a fool. On the contrary, he’s very smart. The meaning of this cooperation is not ordinary.”Yang Chen smiled.
Seeing this, Li Kehui quickly asked,’”‘Oh, what did you think of?”
“I only have a simple conjecture, but I don’t know if it’s correct.”Yang Chen said.
“Tell me.” Li Kehui said.
Yang Chen rubbed his wrist,” It’s like this. Let’s make a bold guess. If Gu Mu knows the stakes of these things and still wants to cooperate with us, what does he want to do?””
“On the surface, our operation is targeted at the three merchant associations. But in reality, we are still targeting the Netherworld Sword Sect and the Devil Origin Palace.”
“Gu Mu’s actions can be seen as a destruction of Demon Origin Palace and a betrayal of Demon Origin Palace.”
“Since he betrayed Devil Origin Palace, he naturally wants to find a new backer. This backer must be of greater help than Devil Origin Palace.”
“This place is also the Li family’s territory. If the Li family wants to support any forces, it will naturally be much more convenient.”
Yang Chen looked at Li Kehui with a smile.
Seeing this, Li Kehui frowned and thought for a moment.
Then, Li Kehui suddenly realized,’”‘You mean Gu Mu wants to join the Li family?”
“That’s right.”
Yang Chen nodded.” Not only that, but he might also be interested in the Longyue Merchant Association. He might even want to become the president of the Longyue Merchant Association.”
“After all, according to the intelligence, this person is a business maniac. His obsession with business far exceeds our imagination.”
” He has also seen the potential of the Longyue Merchant Association. Perhaps he had already set his eyes on the Longyue Merchant Association when he found it.”
After listening to Yang Chen’s explanation, Li Kehui finally realized that Gu Mu was up to something.
Not only did they want to rely on the Li family, but they also had their eyes on the president of the Longyue merchant association.
But thinking about it, it was normal. For a person like Gu Mu, there was nothing more fascinating than bringing a Chamber of Commerce to the world.
As for defecting to the Li family, it was just an additional product.
If the Longyue Merchant Association didn’t have such great potential and couldn’t shake the foundation of the three major merchant associations, even if the Li family was behind the Longyue Merchant Association, Gu Mu wouldn’t have joined them.
After thinking it through, Li Kehui asked,””Then what should we do next?”
“What should I do? Naturally, I should go and see this President Chu.”Yang Chen smiled.
“Meet President Chu?”
Li Kehui frowned.” Does Master Chen mean that we should make a trip to Sun City?”
“That’s right.” “I haven’t been to Yangcheng, so I’m naturally curious.””
“But isn’t this too dangerous? You have to know that that place is the enemy’s lair. If we act rashly and something happens…” Li Kehui said worriedly.
“It won’t happen.”
Yang Chen smiled as he picked up the teacup, blew on the hot air, and took a sip. After drinking the tea, Yang Chen said,””For this operation, I plan to bring Venerable Lord Huo along.”
“With Venerable Lord Huo around, are you still worried about our safety?”
“With Huo zun-zhe around, our safety will naturally not be a problem. However…”
“Venerable Lord Huo is the final barrier, after all,” Li Kehui said hesitantly.”Don’t tell me you want to make a move now, Master Chen?”
“It’s not necessary to make a move now, but since we’re going, we have to understand some of the situation.”
“Venerable Lord Huo is very powerful, so he is the most suitable person to investigate.”Yang Chen said.
“You used Venerable Lord Huo as a spy!”
Li Kehui widened his eyes and said with some admiration,””Chen Yang, you’re really bold to let a peak Dao Origin Supremacy be a spy. Aren’t you afraid that Venerable Lord Huo will blame you?”
“Ah.” Yang Chen waved his hand and said righteously,” For Taoism!”
Li Kehui couldn’t help but burst out laughing.”Yes, for the Dao Sect.”
Both of them were bold people. Since they had already decided to go to Yangcheng, they would not delay.
Within a month, the two of them had finished dealing with the matters of their families and gathered outside the Endless Mountains.
Looking at the boundless mountain range, Yang Chen took a deep breath.” I’m finally going out.””
Seeing this, Li Kehui patted Yang Chen’s shoulder.” Although the Endless Mountain Range is bustling, it’s not as peaceful as here.”
“Chen Clan Leader, it’s best not to have too high of an expectation.”
“I understand.”
Yang Chen nodded and took out the Beast Taming Bag that Wang Cheng had given him, releasing the other spirit beast.
As the subdued beast bag flashed, a two-meter-long winged horse appeared in front of the three of them.
“Sorry to trouble you.”
Yang Chen nodded at the winged horse, or more accurately, the Pegasus.

“Patriarch Chen, there’s no need to be so polite. This is what I should do.”The Pegasus smiled and nodded. Its body continued to expand, and before long, it had become a hundred-meter-long beast.
When he saw this, Chen Yang looked at Venerable Lord Huo.” Patriarch Dao Kong, please.’”‘
“Yes.”
Venerable Lord Huo nodded and leaped onto the back of the pegasus. Seeing this, Chen Yang and Li Kehui quickly jumped onto the back of the Heavenly Horse.
After the three of them steadied themselves, the Pegasus flapped its wings and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye..
