He deeply understood that the generous gift from Elegant was not meant to curry favor with the now powerful Peach Blossom Sect, but rather stemmed from their personal relationship.
So many Soul Stones, in the Eastern Region, were more than enough to support the establishment of an empire or even a Holy Dynasty!
Fourth-Grade Soul Stones, ten million of them!
Fifth-Grade Soul Stones, one million!
Sixth-Rank Soul Stones, one hundred thousand!
Wei Chen trembled slightly, feeling a shiver run through him. He had never seen so many Soul Stones in his life.
“Elegant, what exactly do you want?” Wei Chen asked, his voice shaking.
Elegant smiled and said, “These are just gifts. Once you help me seize the position of family head, there will be even more Soul Stones available. I promised that no matter how many formations you establish, the Soul Stones will be supplied by our Dingsheng Trading Company for only ten years. However, if you help me eliminate one of my rivals, I can guarantee a hundred years of Soul Stone supply.”
“We can swear an oath and become allies. With our financial resources and your combat strength, we can thrive in the Central Domain.”
Elegant's offer was undeniably tempting.
For the financially struggling Wei Chen, it was an overwhelming temptation.
“Which force do you want me to eliminate?”
“The Dongxing Trading Company, our sworn enemy. In the Central Domain, the Dongxing Trading Company is also among the Ninth-Rank Powers and is definitely formidable,” Elegant explained.
“Alright then, if that's the case, I can give it a try; it's just a Ninth-Rank Power,” Wei Chen nodded.
“Oh, I forgot to mention that the Dongxing Trading Company has close ties with the Evil Dragon Path Assassin Organization. It is rumored that the Dongxing Trading Company provides substantial resources to the Evil Dragon Path Assassin Organization every year, which secretly acts as their protector. Because of this connection, we are not their match on any level. The Evil Dragon Path Assassin Organization is very powerful; among the Ninth-Rank Powers in the Central Domain, they are likely the strongest. There are also rumors that the Evil Dragon Path Assassin Organization has some links with the Soul Palace. But these are all just hearsay without any evidence; otherwise, it would be the powerful Fire Sect that would first have to deal with the Dongxing Trading Company.”
The Dongxing Trading Company was entangled with the Evil Dragon Path Assassin Organization, which in turn was connected to the Soul Palace. If that were the case, since it was difficult to locate the Soul Palace and even harder to find the assassin organization, the only option left was to target the Dongxing Trading Company.
This was obvious, so most people did not agree with the notion that the Evil Dragon Path Assassin Organization had ties to the Soul Palace.
Wei Chen also found it absurd. Thunderstorm hated the Soul Palace with a passion, viewing it as a thorn in his side. If he had obtained concrete information, he would have already gone after the Dongxing Trading Company and the Evil Dragon Path Assassin Organization.
“So, in order to secure our Peach Blossom Sect's supply of the Centennial Soul Stone, I need to do three things: help you seize the position of head of the family, eliminate the Dongxing Trading Company, and deal with the Evil Dragon Path Assassin Organization. At the very least, I need to ensure they don't cause you any trouble, right?”
“Exactly. If you can accomplish this, we will scrape together our resources for the Centennial Soul Stone supply, even if it means we are left impoverished,” Elegant said fiercely.
“Elegant, do you have that much confidence in me? The Dongxing Trading Company is an established Ninth-Rank Power; who knows how many guest elders they have? As for the Evil Dragon Path Assassin Organization, while I don't know much about them, I've heard some things in the Central Domain. They rank very high among Ninth-Rank Powers. Do you really think our Peach Blossom Sect can handle such a formidable organization?” Wei Chen asked with a smile.
Elegant pouted and shot Wei Chen a disdainful glance. “Stop pretending. I know all about what you've done in Maguan City. Forget about it; the Dongxing Trading Company has the backing of an organization like the Evil Dragon Path Assassin Organization, but our Dingsheng Trading Company is no pushover either. We have a good relationship with Bai Xiaosheng's intelligence organization. Before coming here, I specifically asked Bai Xiaosheng about you; he told me everything you've done in Maguan City. Eliminating both the Dongxing Trading Company and the Evil Dragon Path Assassin Organization should be quite simple for you, right?”
Wei Chen shrugged helplessly. “Something like that; think what you want. It's not as easy as you think.”
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Chen whispered, “Elegant, where is Bai Xiaosheng now? I have some questions for him. If you can bring Bai Xiaosheng before me within a day, I'll help you with your matters. Our alliance can be formed then; I won't even need to report back to those old men. I'll take charge of this myself.”
“Are you serious?” Elegant's eyes lit up as she asked excitedly.
“Absolutely,” Wei Chen nodded.
“Great! You need to go to Daxing City right now and make sure to bring Bai Xiaosheng here as quickly as possible.”
“Understood.” The old woman left Cang Mountain like a gust of wind; since she hadn't completed setting up the formation yet, she could fly straight out.
Wei Chen frowned and asked, “Bai Xiaosheng is in Daxing City?”
“That's right,” Elegant confirmed with a nod.
Wei Chen asked again, "What is he doing in Daxing City?"
"I don't know. His movements have always been mysterious and unpredictable. You might not be aware, but in the Central Domain, the fastest Warship is in Bai Xiaosheng's hands. If he comes to Cang Mountain from Daxing City, it would only take him an hour on his Warship," Elegant replied.
"Really? That fast? Isn't that more than ten times faster than a normal Warship?" Wei Chen exclaimed in astonishment. An hour for such a long distance—what kind of Warship could fly that quickly?
"Not just ten times; it could be twenty times or even more. Bai Xiaosheng's Warship is made from special materials designed specifically for speed. His profession requires the fastest pace. It is said that the wings of a Windrider Bird have been incorporated into that Warship."
"Windrider Bird? A Tenth Rank flying beast?"
"Exactly. It is the fastest bird in the Soul World, and even ordinary Soul Realm Experts cannot kill a Windrider Bird."
"Bai Xiaosheng is really impressive; he can even get his hands on a Windrider Bird," Wei Chen remarked, feeling a sense of admiration. It seemed he couldn't escape from helping Elegant now. Within a day, Bai Xiaosheng would be able to reach Cang Mountain. Given the relationship between Dingsheng Trading Company and Bai Xiaosheng, he would definitely come. Moreover, with Wei Chen's current status, Bai Xiaosheng would be eager to make his acquaintance.
Once the old woman left, it became just Wei Chen with two beautiful women at the mountaintop, which felt quite awkward—especially in the eyes of Weirou, Mu Qingyan, Snow Cicada, Ni Junlin, and Ji Mei. It was more than just awkward; it was like a thorn in their eyes!
However, Elegant and Qingling were still present; after all, they were guests and couldn't embarrass anyone openly.
Especially when news of the generous gifts reached their ears, they suddenly lost the confidence to confront him.
So many Soul Stones couldn't possibly be given without reason; there must be something significant to negotiate. Despite feeling extremely jealous inside, the women still recognized the bigger picture and refrained from causing trouble.
"Cang Mountain is indeed nice. If your Peach Blossom Sect aims for a premium route, Cang Mountain is an excellent location. Once the formation is initially established, Cang Mountain will become a fortress in the Central Domain. Unless the Fire Sect sends their troops en masse, no other force will be able to do anything against you," Elegant praised.
"Is the Fire Sect really that strong?"
"What about you?" Elegant shot a glance at Wei Chen and continued, "In the Fire Sect, there is one Soul Realm Peak Supreme Being known as Thunderstorm; one Soul Realm Ninth Layer Expert who is a grand elder; three Soul Realm Seventh Layer experts who are also part of the elder council; six mid-level Soul Realm members; and eighteen at the Initial Stage of Soul Realm..."
Elegant spoke eloquently while Wei Chen shivered all over. This was unbelievable—the Fire Sect was actually this formidable?
"The status of the Fire Sect in the Central Domain is like that of a god. Anyone who opposes the Fire Sect will meet with a terrible fate. To put it simply, the strength of the Fire Sect is equivalent to the combined power of all other forces in the Central Domain."
After hearing Elegant's words, Wei Chen felt as if he might wet himself from fear. Was it really necessary for them to be this strong?
"Anyway, listen to me. You currently have powerful experts backing you, so you can provoke anyone you want, but just don't mess with the Fire Sect. The Fire Sect is strong for one reason, but on another level, they are the main force against the Soul Palace. No other faction is as proactive in dealing with the Soul Palace as the Fire Sect. We all wonder, if it weren't for the Fire Sect, perhaps the Soul Palace would have already swept through the Central Domain, and many major factions would have been nearly wiped out by them."
Elegant let out a few bitter laughs. Everyone in the Central Domain shared similar feelings towards the Fire Sect—fear, respect, anticipation, envy, and more.
"Does the Fire Sect have a grudge against the Soul Palace?"
"I don't know. All I can say is that they are like oil and water—one is righteous and the other is evil. Both are colossal entities in the Central Domain."
Wei Chen fell into deep thought.
Could it be that the Soul Palace has support from the Upper Realm, and so does the Fire Sect? Otherwise, how could they be so strong and constantly target the Soul Palace? If that weren't the case, there would be no need for the Fire Sect to keep clashing with them. Thunderstorm wouldn't be so worried about the Soul Palace taking advantage of his absence to deal with the Fire Sect.
"The number of experts in the Fire Sect clearly exceeds normal expectations. Even though their foundation is incredibly strong, they shouldn't be stronger than all other forces in the Central Domain combined. According to Elegant's perspective, the power of the Fire Sect could basically rival all of Soul World except for the Soul Palace..."
"What a terrifying force that is! With such strength, no matter how calm their leader is, they couldn't possibly remain composed. Yet their territory doesn't seem very large; it doesn't appear overly exaggerated. A top-tier force that remains so low-key must have some hidden secrets. The only explanation is that the Fire Sect also has support from the Upper Realm, which both protects and restrains them. They engage in mutual conflict with the Soul Palace in the Central Domain but can't eliminate each other."
"The waters of the Central Domain are truly deep. If Elegant hadn't reminded me, I might have fallen into a trap without realizing it."
