Chapter 181 Iron Triangle (Subscription Request)

"Everyone, I'm afraid we're in big trouble."

"There is a great treasure on this Yanbo Island, and it is related to Yuanshen Zhenren."

Chu Wujiang pondered for a moment, and finally decided to tell everything about the treasure on Yanbo Island and Chu Zhiyuan.

[I have the Heavenly Book, which is the greatest treasure in the ancient world. My talents will become more and more numerous and stronger.]

【Adventure and treasure hunting are undoubtedly stupid behaviors for me. 】

[I have countless talents that have not been realized, why am I in such a hurry to take risks? ]

[But if I don't take it, the mermaid will take it away. ]

[Once the mermaids take the treasure, the attack on Longzhou will see the emergence of a force at the level of the Yuanshen.]

[By then I will have to ask for help from the Confucianists, Taoists, and Buddhists. The favors I owe them are worth an orange secret treasure.]

There is a saying in Go: If you don’t know what move to make, find a way to make your opponent uncomfortable.

Marquis Jingping, Marquis Zhenhai, and the head of the Huo family all changed color when they heard the words, especially Marquis Zhenhai.

[Yanbo Island can be considered as my fief, why haven't I discovered it before? ]

[This Chu Zhiyuan really deserves to die. 】

[If you had shared the secret earlier, this wouldn't have come to this! ]

[Can I not protect your life? ]

The Marquis of Zhenhai was now a little overwhelmed.

Because what he was thinking in his heart was, this is my treasure.

Who wouldn’t be jealous of Master Yuanshen’s treasure?

Of course, everyone could guess Chu Zhiyuan's idea. When he became strong enough, he would dig up the treasure of Yuanshen Zhenren, break through Yuanling realm and become Yuanshen Zhenren. It would be just a matter of a word for him to marry Hong Yanling.

Huo Qiushui was the first one to react among the crowd:

"Since this treasure was discovered by the Chu family, it should belong to the Chu family."

"We should do our best to prevent the mermaids from stealing the Chu family's treasures, for the sake of Longzhou's safety."

Jingping Hou was the second to react:

"Master Huo is right."

"We should work together to protect the treasure that belongs to the human race."

Chu Wujiang waved his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Don't worry, everyone."

"Since Chu has said it, it is for the purpose of sharing it with you all."

"Taiyi Temple has an iron bird that can carry up to six people and fly in the air."

"Each of the five families will send one person, plus the masters from Taiyi Temple. If anything goes wrong, they can also ask for help from the Taoist sect to ensure safety."

"Once we have taken the treasure, we will share it with you."

With the war approaching, the Chu family cannot fight the mermaid invasion on their own. Every household must send out experts to fight together.

Then use this treasure to test everyone's performance and degree of cooperation, and it can also serve as a whetstone.

Follow Chu Wujiang and you will have meat to eat.

Chu Wujiang wants to implement this concept throughout the Longzhou Noble Alliance, so that he can truly control the situation in Longzhou.

As for Taiyi Temple's entry, it was essentially a preparation for Tiangang Zhenren's entry.

Upon hearing this arrangement, Weiyuan Bo had the least objection, as the treasure on Yanbo Island had nothing to do with him.

So he spoke first:
"I have no objection. Yanbo Island will send a butler to accompany you this time!"

The same was true for Marquis Jingping and Huo Qiushui. Only Marquis Zhenhai was a little entangled, and finally said helplessly:

"So does this Lord."

His heart was bleeding. Why didn't Lord Longcheng come to discuss it with me first?
Sharing among six companies and sharing among two companies are completely different things.

"In that case, Chu will call Master Yun."

"Each family must also send people to the sea to monitor the actions of the mermaids at all times."

"The coastal defense line must enter a full-scale combat state."

In terms of fighting against the mermaids, all families had no objection and all agreed:
"We will follow the command of Lord Longcheng."

In the atmosphere of unity among the crowd, Jingping Hou said hesitantly:

"Lord Longcheng, the King of the East Sea..."

Let’s settle everything and see if this will hurt the King of the East Sea.

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

"The treasure must be kept secret, and only the six of us have a share." "The information we have collected about the mermaids will be sent to Taodu and to the palace as a sign of respect."

Chu Wujiang has to be the secret master of Longzhou for the time being, and the open master is still the King of East China Sea.

Otherwise he would appear too arrogant.

"That's great, I'll arrange it right away."

Everyone agreed immediately. Even the Marquis of Zhenhai was ready to go back and question his daughter carefully. Maybe Chu Zhiyuan could tell Hong Yanling some information in advance so that the Marquis of Zhenhai could get a bigger share of the treasure.

As for taking the initiative, Marquis Zhenhai had no such idea.

Not to mention that the treasure is dangerous, if he relies on his own advantages and takes action first, he will directly offend the remaining five families.

He's seeking death before he even gets the treasure. There's nothing wrong with his brain.

The meeting convened by Chu Wujiang ended here. Everyone said goodbye and went back to select personnel. Only Huo Qiu Shui showed hesitation.

She just agreed to it just for the sake of Lord Longcheng's face.

Seeing this, Chu Wujiang winked and asked her to stay. After everyone left, the two returned to the living room and sat down. Chu Wujiang didn't care and asked:
"Qiu Shui, is it possible that the Huo family is in trouble?"

Huo Qiushui pondered and said:

"After the last incident with the Ghost King, the Huo family is now short of experts."

"With the invasion of the evil god and the chaos of the Ghost Festival, the Huo family has also sacrificed many of their best fighters. I'm afraid they can't participate in the operation on Yanbo Island."

"The Huo family is willing to withdraw."

With the help of his talent of [Revenge], the Ghost King Xia Yu unleashed a power that was no less than that of a higher-level Ghost King at that moment.

Even Marquis Jingping was injured. A total of more than ten Yuandan realm powerhouses died from the three families, all of whom were top players above the sixth level of Yuandan.

Then came the whispers of the evil god. Many people from the Huo family, the Lu family, and even the Chu family believed in the evil god and were killed as a result of internal investigations.

Many people died during this period of civil strife. Although the warriors who believed in the evil god were of a relatively low level, many of them were seeds of the new generation.

Another batch of seeds of the new generation died.

Huo Qiu Shui took into consideration that they also had to deal with the mermaid's attack and the Huo family could no longer afford to lose anyone.

This time, the imperial court rewarded a lot of [Jade Liquid Elixir], and it would take time to transform it into combat power.

Chu Wujiang was stunned when he heard this.

I was indeed a little inconsiderate.

The Chu family also lost a lot of people during these chaos, but with the addition of Xue Nu and Huo Meir, the losses were directly compensated.

In terms of human resources, the Chu family has expanded a lot.

Chu Wujiang took out a bottle of pills from his pocket and placed it in front of Huo Qiu Shui.

"Lord Longcheng, what is this?"

"Qiu Shui, there is a [Seven Saints Heaven-Rescuing Pill] inside, which can cure the disease caused by the broken Yuandan. It is the supreme healing medicine of the Confucian sect."

"Just consider it as the profit from this treasure hunt."

After the invasion of the evil god, every Zhiping layperson held a [Seven Saints Pill to Return to Heaven] in his hand, which was an elixir that only true soul masters were qualified to use.

The medicine can cure any disease. Not to mention the revival of the dead or the transformation of flesh and bones, diseases like the cracking of the Yuandan can be cured.

Huo Qiushui quickly refused:

"This is too precious, the Huo family can't take it."

Chu Wujiang said in a deep voice:
"Qiu Shui, listen to me."

"I've said that the three families are of the same blood. This time, Master Zhiping gave me some magical medicine, but I can't use it for the time being. It's just right for me to treat my uncle."

"As for the price, it will be deducted from the treasure income."

"This time, we have to rely on uncle's strength to ambush the mermaids."

"Besides, since you swore allegiance, I should give you some benefits."

Huo Qiushui fell silent. She took the pill solemnly, stared at Chu Wujiang with her three white eyes, and then whispered:
"Thank you, sir."

"It's okay. We still have to enter the Hero Banner together and train the true meaning of Hell."

Chu Wujiang smiled faintly.

If the Huo family used to favor the Chu family for the sake of profit.

With this favor, the strength of the relationship between the two families will not be inferior to that of the Chu and Lu families, and sometimes it can even be higher.

After all, the decision maker of the Lu family is Marquis Jingping, while the decision maker of the Huo family is Huo Qiu Shui.

Now that Shunyi Bo's injuries have been treated, she can feel much more relaxed and more inclined towards the Chu family.

The real iron triangle is about to be completed.
