“Are we bringing them over in batches? That works too.” Yang Chen nodded and looked at Black One.” Thank you for your hard work.””

“What are you saying, Chen Clan Leader? This is my duty.”Black One smiled and shook his head. Then, he asked,”Patriarch, who should we bring over first?”

Li Kehui glanced at Yang Chen and said,””Bring me, Patriarch Chen, and Senior over first. We have something to discuss with Gu Mu, so it’s best to arrive early.”

Black One nodded. Then, he led Chen Yang and the other two to the Longyue Chamber of Commerce according to the route that they had prepared in advance. They successfully brought everyone to the Longyue Chamber of Commerce without disturbing the three major chambers of commerce.

In the meeting hall of the Longyue Chamber of Commerce, after the three of them sat down, Li Kehua asked,””Patriarch, is there anything you need me to do?”

Li Kehui looked at Chen Yang,” Chen Family Head, what do you think?””

Yang Chen held his teacup and thought for a while. Then, he placed the teacup on the mahogany table beside him and looked at Li Kehua with a smile.” Since the other party is going to start a war, we naturally have to get some information.”

“Elder Ke Lu, please bring Gu Mu here.”

“Yes, sir!” Li Ke nodded and turned to leave.

After Li Kehui left, he asked,””If we call Gu Mu over at this time, wouldn’t it arouse suspicion?”

“There will definitely be danger, but compared to the information we have, we can only take the risk.”Yang Chen smiled.

“That’s true.” Li Kehui nodded and then kept silent, waiting for Gu Mu’s arrival.

Gu Mu didn’t make them wait for long. In less than two hours, Gu Mu followed Li Kehua to the meeting hall.

Seeing Gu Mu come over, Chen Yang stood up and said with a smile,””Long time no see. How has President Gu been recently?”

“Thank you for your concern, Chen Clan Leader.”Gu Mu replied with a smile.

“Hahaha, come, President Gu, please take a seat.”

After Gu Mu sat down, Yang Chen returned to his seat with a smile and asked,””President Gu, how did your mission go?”

Gu Mu picked up the cup of tea and wanted to quench his thirst. When he saw Chen Yang asking him, Gu Mu put the cup of tea aside and cupped his hands,”Reporting to Chen Clan Leader, the mission was completed quite well.”

” First, it’s those rank 6 forces. Under my influence, all the rank 6 forces, even those loyal to the Devil Origin Palace, have started doing business with the Longyue Merchant Association.”

“Given the current situation, even if the three major merchant associations disappear overnight, the Longyue Merchant Association can replace them. It won’t affect the daily cultivation needs of a rank-6 organization.”

“I know all this.” Yang Chen smiled and shook his head.” What I want to ask is, how many Rank-6 forces are willing to be on our side?”

Hearing this, Gu Mu took out a piece of paper from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Chen Yang,” Chen Clan Leader, this is the meaning of each rank 6 force.””

“There are a total of 13 Rank-6 forces now. They’ve already made it clear that they’re willing to stand on our side and resist the demonic cultivators with us.”

“There are also 23 Rank-6 forces who are neutral. Although they won’t help us, they won’t help the Fiendish Cultivators either. After the war ends, if we win, they will help us rebuild order.”

“This is the condition that they have to pay in order to guarantee their neutrality.”

“The remaining ten rank 6 forces are all loyal to Devil Origin Palace. They will definitely help when the three major merchant associations attack Longyue Merchant Association together.”

“Chen Clan Leader, although there are not many forces that are loyal to Devil Origin Palace, they are the top figures in the alliance.”

Yang Chen glanced at the contents of the paper and handed it to Li Kehui. He then looked at Gu Mu,” Thank you for your hard work, President Gu. You did a good job in this mission. You can guarantee 36 Rank-6 forces. We can also report our work.””

“Oh right, President Gu, I still don’t know how the three chambers of commerce plan to deal with us.”

Compared to the previous content, this was what Yang Chen was most concerned about.

How the enemy planned to attack, where to attack, and how many experts to send.

Only this would determine the outcome of the battle.

Gu Mu also understood what Yang Chen meant and immediately said,”I’m not too sure about the specifics, but I do know that they definitely won’t launch a sneak attack.”

“This time, they invited the people from the Netherworld Sword Sect and the Devil Origin Palace. Naturally, they won’t ambush us.”

” At the very least, we have to destroy the Longyue Merchant Association with great fanfare to show off their prowess and ensure that no new Longyue Merchant Association will appear.”

“Make a move with great fanfare?”

Yang Chen was puzzled. Since they had invited the Netherworld Sword Sect and the Devil Essence Palace, why did they make such a big fuss? Were they afraid that others would not know that they were in contact with the Devil Cultivators?

Immediately, Chen Yang told Gu Mu about his doubts,” President Gu, since the three major merchant associations intend to let the Netherworld Sword Sect and the Devil Essence Palace attack, why would they do it so openly? Are they not afraid of being discovered to be colluding with the Devil Cultivators?”

“Although Devil Cultivators are also martial artists, the Li family has a deep hatred for Devil Cultivators. Isn’t this giving the Li family an excuse to make a move?”

“Hahaha!” Gu Mu smiled and said nothing.

Yang Chen frowned.” What? Am I wrong?””

“What the Chen Clan Leader said is naturally correct, and it also makes sense.”Gu Mu smiled and looked at Chen Yang,” But Clan Head Chen has forgotten that almost no one here has ever seen a Devil Cultivator.”

“Although Devil Cultivators use Devil Qi, Devil Qi and Spirit Qi look similar. If you hide it, unless you’ve seen a Devil Cultivator before, it’s very difficult to recognize a Devil Cultivator based on hearsay.”

” Besides, it’s true that this is the Li family’s back garden, but it’s also Dynasty’s back garden. Dynasty’s entire territory covers this place. Even if someone really recognizes the Fiendish Cultivator, it’ll be very difficult for them to break through Dynasty’s blockade and tell the Li family the news.”

“I see.” Yang Chen nodded and smiled,””President Gu, do you know where the Netherworld Sword Sect and Devil Essence Palace are stationed?”

“I don’t believe that you will go to the Demon Territory to invite them over.”

” The Chen Clan Leader is indeed intelligent.” President Gu flattered him.” The Netherworld Sword Sect and the Devil Essence Palace do have a station, and it’s in the imperial capital of the dynasty.”

“Alright.”

Yang Chen rubbed his wrists, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.” This way, we can deal with Dynasty at the same time. We don’t have to think of other reasons.”

“Oh right, President Gu, do you know how many experts the three chambers of commerce can mobilize?”

Hearing this, Gu Mu told Chen Yang everything he knew,” Reporting to Chen Clan Leader, as far as I know, the three major merchant associations are able to mobilize nearly 50 powerhouses.””

“As for Dao Origin Supremacies, I should be able to mobilize four of them. They are all fiendish cultivators..”
