C765 Three-wave Offensive
During the two days of Chen Changyu's closed door cultivation, the Ten Thousand Flowers Lane had undergone some changes.
Although the Ten Thousand Flowers Lane was filled with all kinds of forces that perished and were born every day, these changes were not new to the people of the alley, and to those adults, these changes were extremely uninteresting. However, the changes that happened in the last two days were quite eye-catching.
First of all, a young master of the House of the Marquis of Supreme Peace had died in the Lion Tiger Restaurant, the only cultivation restaurant in the Ten Thousand Flowers Lane. The Lion Tiger Restaurant happened to belong to the number one merchant house in the world, so this incident had involved a total of two of the top nine powers, which was enough to attract the attention of the major powers in the Ten Thousand Flowers Lane.
On the day that Zhou Yin was killed, Li Liehu personally brought his corpse to the Residence of the Marquis of Tai An and negotiated with the people of the Residence of Tai An. After six hours, he left safely. They didn't know what kind of deal or promise Li Liehu had made with the people from the Residence of the Marquis of Tai An to be able to leave the Residence of Tai An unharmed. However, they all knew one thing, that the Lion Tiger Building no longer needed to worry about the destruction of the Residence of Tai An.
During the night, the Lion Tiger Building and the Residence of the Marquis of Tai An officially reached a cooperative relationship. The Lion Tiger Pavilion, which had been operating in the Ten Thousand Flowers Lane for many years, provided relevant information.
At the beginning of this year, the always-secretive Sanshui Merchant Shop suddenly had some big moves, and there were quite a few forces that were touched by the profits. Now that the Lion Tiger Building and the Residence of the Marquis of Tai An were in the lead, the weaker ones, who were already dissatisfied, naturally no longer had to worry about taking the lead. They all waved their flags and shouted, joining in on the suppression of the market. A few small powers, who had no enmity with the merchants of the mountains and rivers, also harbored thoughts of seeking wealth amidst dangers. They all followed behind the line led by the Residence of the Marquis of Tai An and the Lion Tiger Restaurant with the intention of eating some meat and drinking some soup instead. The influence of the Sanshui Merchant Shop in the Ten Thousand Flowers Lane was not small. Being able to drink a little bit of soup was already more difficult than several years of hard work for those small factions.
All of a sudden, the voices of the people in the Ten Thousand Flowers Lane were loud. Everyone in the Sanshui Merchant Shop was in danger.
That night, at midnight, the first wave of attacks arrived at Shanshui Merchant Shop — Smash Shop.
Usually, the major powers would not even bother to use such low-level methods to compete with their peers. However, today was different, the Residence of the Marquis of Tai An and the Lion Tiger Restaurant had clearly harbored the intention of devouring the entire mountain and water merchant house in one breath, so they did not care about these small matters.
Moreover, there was no need for the people from the Residence of the Marquis of Tai An to personally do such a thing. All they needed to do was make some arrangements and there would be many small forces behind them waving their flags and shouting.
There were a total of eight stores and sixteen stalls under the command of the Sanshui Merchant Shop. All of them were simultaneously smashed. Although the Sanshui Merchant Shop seemed to have anticipated this and quickly launched a strong counterattack, their losses were definitely not as serious as they thought, but after this incident, it was impossible for them to operate normally for a short period of time.
Not waiting for the Mountain and River Trading Company to recover, at that ugly moment, the eight shops under the Mountain and River Trading Company's command and the sixteen stalls once again welcomed the second wave of attacks — pouring dirty water on them.
Wearing a variety of clothes, angrily or resentfully, they came to the shops and stalls under the Sanshui Merchant's command, clamoring at the bustling crowd of people about how the Sanshui Merchant Shop had tricked people. They boasted about how the Sanshui Merchant Shop had exchanged spirit stones for second-hand spirit stones that had been partially devoured, how the Sanshui Merchant Shop's magical equipment had exploded when they were used, and how the formation flags sold by the Sanshui Merchant Shop had actually self-ignited at a crucial moment, causing the formation to break down.
No matter where you were doing business, reputation was the most important thing.
Eight shops under the Mountain River Trading Company and sixteen stalls were simultaneously splashed with dirty water. Even those with discerning eyes could tell that they were maliciously framing them, they couldn't help but hear the countless unhurried rumors circulating around. This was a dirty trick, but it was also the move that the Shang family would find hard to deal with in a short period of time.
The moves were not old, and he was afraid that the enemy would not be able to take them.
The moves were not dirty, for fear that the enemy would not be injured.
With the appearance of the second wave of attacks, all the upper echelons of the Shanshui Merchant Shop started moving, lobbying their way between the eight stores and the sixteen stalls in an attempt to handle this matter perfectly.
However, after the second wave of attacks appeared, the Ten Thousand Flowers Lane actually calmed down again. The third wave of attacks did not appear for a long time.
On the contrary, they became even more vigilant because even though the first two waves of attacks were fierce, but no matter what, they would not be able to shake the company's fundamentals. The sudden cessation of the attacks from the Residence of Grand Marquis and the Lion Tiger Restaurant was undoubtedly a conspiracy against the Mountain Water Merchant Guild. It was the calm before the storm.
On this day, the upper echelons of the Sanshui Merchant Shop were all dealing with the matter of their shops and stalls being stained with dirty water. The third wave of attacks from the Residence of Marquis of Tai'an had also not appeared.
There were still no movements from the Residence of the Marquis of Tai'an the next day. This did cause a flurry of discussion from the various powers in the Ten Thousand Flowers Lane.
No one knew what the Residence of Grand An and the Lion Tiger Restaurant were up to.
It wasn't until the second night when the third wave of attacks finally arrived.
First of all, some of the first-rate powers that had been made contact with by the Sanshui Merchant Group started to attack the Sanshui Merchant Group.
Attacking and smashing the shop had similarities, but they were also very different.
Shopping was just a hoodlum act of harassment, while attacking was a war of life and death.
However, this time, the Mountain River Trading Company wasn't as exhausted as the last two times. With the first two waves of attacks as warning bells, they were already prepared, so when the enemy started attacking, the cultivators hidden in the shadows immediately rushed out like the tide.
Not a single one of the first-rate powers who had been ambushed showed any fear on their faces. Instead, they bravely stepped forward, showing no signs of retreating even half a step.
These first-rate powers were no match for the Sanshui Merchant Shop. Who had given them such confidence?
No matter what, the horn of war had already been blown, and the cultivators of the Shanshui Merchant House could only fight to the death.2
The battle had just begun and was already raging like a raging fire. Even after more than an hour, there was still no wind blowing.
Although the Mountain River Trading Company far surpassed these first-rate powers, they were still able to fight against quite a few factions by themselves. Thus, their power was too scattered.
At this moment, another wave of battle cries rang out from every direction in the Ten Thousand Flowers Lane. It was precisely those small powers who had been waving their flags and shouting for soup that had charged out at this critical juncture.
Although the overall strength of these small powers couldn't be compared to those first-rate powers, they still had the advantage of numbers.
Their appearance undoubtedly gave a boost to the first-rate factions that had launched the first round of attacks.
Along with the appearance of these small factions, Chen Chang He, who had just broken through to the sixth level of the Spirit King Stage, also slowly opened his eyes from the pavilion in the Gem Temple.
