Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 509 - 465 Say It Directly Next Time (6K6 No Time

“Senior Shen, it’s not really a troublesome matter. During the many years we’ve settled in the upper Nanyang, we—the Nanyang underlings—have maintained a fairly close contact thanks to our ancestors’ connections,” Jing Jingsong said with a sheepish smile.

“Therefore, we have always been handling tasks for the Shuiyue Commerce Alliance. They do some goods escorting business among the various sects, and we are responsible for helping deliver some valuables. I had just forgotten to mention this, and I hope Nanyang Immortal Sect can issue a decree to inform them that Qinghai Prefecture will return the deposit at the fastest speed.”

In fact, this matter didn’t need to be so complicated.

Qinghai Prefecture was busy handling matters for Nanyang Sect and wasn’t ditching a deal without reason. Even the Shuiyue Commerce Alliance was a vassal to the Nanyang Sect, so there was no need for formalities, let alone returning any deposit.

But Jing Jingsong didn’t want to leave an impression of being unreliable and felt embarrassed about it. Therefore, he wanted Shen Yi to help bear witness.

Watching Shen Yi mulling it over for a moment.

Jing Jingsong added, “They are quite wealthy, and the tributes they pay each time are the most amongst powers of the same rank.”

“…”

Shen Yi glanced sideways, wondering if he really appeared so money-hungry?

He nodded, “All right.”

The silence just now wasn’t from hesitation, but because Shen Yi, with his current level of cultivation, wasn’t able to issue such a decree.

Never mind, there was no urgent matter.

He decided to pay a visit in person.

If he remembered correctly, he had indeed seen the name Shuiyue Commerce Alliance in the gold-listed directory before.

It was an entire level larger than the Puppet Sect.

With this thought, Shen Yi activated the spell, directed the Spirit Puppet to turn, and swiftly dashed towards the direction recorded in the booklet!

Not long after the lion puppet disappeared,

the calm water surface below suddenly rippled.

Several figures emerged from under the water, draped in armor, specifically with their identifying marks removed by axes and swords.

They took out a conch shell, their voices hoarse, “The message is true, he is indeed right here.”

It wasn’t known what the other end of the conch replied.

The Aquatic Race nodded slightly, their eyes filled with murderous intent, then submerged back into the water as if they had never appeared.

…

Above the Endless Ocean, there was a massive floating island.

It was covered with splendid formations, adding an air of mystery to the floating island.

Eight-cornered high towers stood tall above.

The crowd bustled back and forth, with all sorts of precious ships anchored around the island.

Shuiyue Commerce Alliance.

Backed by the Seven Sons of the Immortal Sect, they conducted business for the entire Nan Hong.

At this moment, at the top of that high tower in an extravagantly decorated room,

a tall, thin man sat wearing plain clothes without any ornaments—except for a seemingly ordinary string of beads around his wrist.

But anyone who knew their worth would recognize that these beads were particular to the Dragon Palace.

In the Dragon Palace itself, they might not be too rare.

But worn on a human Cultivator’s wrist, they were enough to prove his wealth and means.

Shuiyue Commerce Alliance, Wen Qiujin.

As long as the price was right, even something from the Dragon Palace—this man could manage to get it for you.

At this moment, Wen Qiujin sat with closed eyes, feigning sleep, listening to the whispers of the people beside him.

He would occasionally nod his head.

“Alliance Hierarch, the situation is roughly as follows: Nanyang Sect has returned and we’ve already inquired with the Nan Hong Seven Sons; the news is confirmed, and we have indeed been redrawn as a vassal to the Nanyang Sect. Their first show of presence was in the Puppet Sect.”

“However, according to the messages we’ve received, the current Nanyang Sect… might be somewhat listless, inconsistent with the news released by the Zhao Family. I will send someone to investigate more precisely for a few days.”

“About the next offering matter, shall we give it to Heavenly Sword Sect as usual or…”

Wen Qiujin raised his palm, stopping the man’s words.

He opened his eyes, speaking indifferently, “Give two offerings, one to each side. Add fifty percent to the part for Heavenly Sword Sect, and deliver it in the name of another power as an apology.”

The Wen Family was in business, and their biggest taboo was offending people.

Moreover, they seldom needed the assistance of the Nan Hong Seven Sons; they simply wanted to flaunt this connection like a flag, it didn’t matter whom they gave it to.

After all, in the eyes of others, the Seven Sons were united as one.

“Understood.”

The guard bowed assent, was about to leave the room, but suddenly paused, retrieving a Jade Slip.

After a moment, he looked up in astonishment, “The signal from the whistle—they’ve spotted the Green Lion Spirit Puppet from the Puppet Sect coming our way, most likely a custodian from the Nanyang Sect.”

“They’re quite hasty, aren’t they!”

The Shuiyue Commerce Alliance had just been handed over, and these people couldn’t wait to swoop in on this piece of fat meat, not realizing that tribute had just been paid.

“…”

Wen Qiujin smiled wryly, and then slowly stood up, smoothing his clothes.

His eyes still expressed indifference as he softly said, “Arrange to welcome them.”

Even if it was the Nanyang Immortal Sect, they had to follow the rules.

The meat of Shuiyue Commerce Alliance wasn’t forbidden, but they couldn’t just eat however they wanted.

If the seven sects kept alternating their visits to collect tribute.
