boom--
With a loud noise, the air waves spread out with Ji Qinglin as the center, and gravel, flesh, and blood were scattered everywhere.
When everyone came back to their senses and looked towards the stage, they saw Xia Zizai's body bent backwards in a large hole on the ground. The double-faced sword ghost had turned into a broken-faced sword ghost.
The elders who were closer could barely tell that the move just now was the Baji Beng, but its power... was really hard to recognize.
Ji Qinglin's body was also splashed with blood. Unlike the young elder who had a gentle smile on his face in the past, even though they were several feet apart, everyone could still feel the strong murderous intent emanating from Ji Qinglin's body.
His clothes had been torn by the two sneak attacks just now, and his shoulder had been slashed by forcefully pulling back the killer.
Because she had seen him several times, Yuye was not frightened by the master's Shura attitude. He was the first to rush over and said with concern:
"Master, are you injured?!"
Lei Qiuyun and several other elders who were closer also immediately jumped onto the high platform.
Ji Qinglin wiped the blood from his face and forced out a disobedient smile:
"It doesn't matter, I just got scratched when I pulled this guy back."
Then he turned around and said respectfully:
"President, I'm sorry, I was too harsh. I should have been left alive to ask questions."
How could Lei Qiuyun care about this? He hurriedly called Sun Yida, the chamber of commerce doctor:
"Teacher, don't worry about anything else. Doctor Sun, let's check the teacher first."
Ji Qinglin raised his hand towards the audience and said:
"I have nothing important to do. Don't delay the business of the Chamber of Commerce. Everyone, I have finished handling my affairs. I'm sorry to bother you."
The elders and members below did not know who broke the silence first.
"Elder Ji is so clever!"
"I didn't expect there to be such a master in my chamber of commerce! No wonder he is being cared about by people with ulterior motives."
"President's posture..."
Hearing the inappropriate compliments below, Ji Qinglin explained:
"The old president has been kind to me. I have no negative thoughts about the Chamber of Commerce. I hope you won't make any assumptions."
Ji Qinglin didn't need to say this, everyone present understood it.
If there were none of these things, with Ji Qinglin's ability, there would be no need to live in that small grocery store on Xindong Street.
"Teacher, please sit down below and I will make arrangements."
Lei Qiuyun arranged for the disciples of the Chamber of Commerce to deal with the bodies of the three people who had been killed first, and then asked:
"Elder Bai, do you recognize these three killers?"
Lei Qiuyun would not judge what Bai Qiucheng had done based only on the words of the three killers, but after all, these three people kept saying that Bai Qiucheng hired them. It would be unjustifiable if they didn't even ask.
Let’s talk about the situation just now. It could have been a swarm to kill all three of them, but the teacher forced one person to fight alone. His intention was very obvious:
He does not hesitate to take risks to help himself establish his prestige.
If I don't help the teacher investigate clearly, I won't have the face to see him in the future.
Bai Qiucheng looked helpless. At this time, let alone seizing the opportunity to gain power, it would be nice to explain clearly, so he was no longer as domineering as before, but said with the same respect:
"President, although I know their names, I have no contact with them, and I don't know who assigned them to come here to embarrass Elder Ji. If I really had murderous intentions, how could I tell them my true identity?"
This matter is indeed strange. Although what Bai Qiucheng said is reasonable, it seems unreasonable to say that the three of them risked their lives to throw dirty water on Bai Qiucheng.
How much money would it cost to get these three masters to risk their lives?
Ji Qinglin took off his coat and waved his hand:
"President, Ji is willing to guarantee with his life that Elder Bai will never do such a thing to his fellow disciples. I think there is a high probability that it is a killer sent by other chambers of commerce as Elder Bai. Otherwise, he will kill me or alienate us." internal relations.”
Bai Qiucheng nodded and said:
"I think so too."
Bai Qiucheng turned to look at Ji Qinglin. Before he came, he thought that he might have a battle with this rising star.
But after what happened just now, I have to say that I do have a better impression of this young elder who has extraordinary skills and is objective and fair. Moreover, Ji Qinglin did not hesitate to risk his own injury to help.
Now that the parties involved and the suspect have reached a settlement, Lei Qiuyun will naturally not forcefully find trouble to affect the internal relations of the chamber of commerce at this time. He nodded and said:
"I will arrange for people to continue investigating this matter, and I ask all the elders and members of New East Street to sit quietly."
Ji Qinglin sat very close to Lei Qiuyun, surrounded by a half circle of Yu Jizi and other elders from the headquarters.
Yuye pursed her lips and stared at her almond-shaped eyes to help Dr. Sun Yi clean Ji Qinglin's wounds. She wanted to complain to the master for meddling in other people's business and getting hurt, but in front of so many people, she was afraid of affecting the image of the master, so she had to huff. Help first.
The venue was rearranged, but the terrifying image of Ji Qinglin's one-hit kill has been engraved in everyone's minds.
Lei Qiuyun stood up and came to the center. Although he was not as strong as his father, he had taken over the Chamber of Commerce not long ago, and he already had the aura of a president in his every move.
"I called you all here today because I want to have a good chat with you before the Cultivation Competition. I have decided to lead the Xindong Street Chamber of Commerce to participate in the Cultivation Competition in half a month as the president. If you have any other opinions or ideas now The elders can suggest that if they want not to participate or withdraw from the meeting, I will not make it difficult for them."
Everyone already knew about this, but they were still whispering among themselves after hearing this.
Someone shouted from an unknown direction:
"May I ask, President, what are the chances of our chamber of commerce winning?"
This question spoke to the voices of many people, and there was a moment of silence below.
Lei Qiuyun analyzed:
“50% chance of winning.
In terms of funding, we have already attracted several giants in Nanhua District to join us and will not be affected by other chambers of commerce;
In terms of basics, although my father was injured, the foundation of the chamber of commerce was not shaken, and its size was still comparable to other chambers of commerce;
In terms of the situation, Xichang District and Nanhua District may cooperate, but there is actually no need to worry about this kind of mutual defense cooperation;
Currently, the biggest risk factor is me, the fledgling president, and the unstated stance of everyone here. I also understand everyone’s feelings. Elders who do not want to participate can express their opinions. However, their status will be downgraded from elder to member. There will be no other effects. If you question me as the president, you can also come up and follow the rules of the Chamber of Commerce. Victory or failure will be determined. Right or wrong. "
Lei Qiuyun's words were sincere and did not beautify the current situation.
When the elders present heard this, no one stated their position first, and each looked at the stronger elders in each place.
Ji Qinglin, who had just treated the wound, stood up and said:
"Since everyone is unwilling to speak first, I will be the villain. The cultivator Dabi'o and my disciple Yuye will participate. Even if it is just the two of us, it doesn't matter. I completely understand if you don't want to risk participating, but if you want to challenge the president, At least you have to get through me first."
On the one hand, Ji Qinglin's words were to help Lei Qiuyun block the knife, and on the other hand, he was telling everyone: This is my only disciple Yu Ye, and I am covering him.
When everyone heard this, they thought to themselves that what you said was human language?
Not even the whole corpses of the three people you just fought with are left.
What's your level? There is a high probability that it will be the end of hell, right?
Yujizi on the side saw this and hurriedly stood up to dissuade him:
"Elder Ji's words are indeed threatening, so let me speak.
I know that many people will think that Lei Qiuyun should not be the president of this association. To be honest, I thought so too at first. But after working with her during this period, I dare to say with my conscience: She has no respect for the Chamber of Commerce. His sense of responsibility is by no means worse than that of President Lei Qiong.
It is true that this chamber of commerce belongs to the Lei family, but from Lei Qiong to Lei Qiuyun, have they ever failed everyone? The membership fees and benefits of the New East Street Chamber of Commerce should be much higher than those of other chambers of commerce, right?
You must have heard about the violent beating by Elder Ji a few days ago. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. I, Yu Jizi, am indeed not as strong as Elder Ji, but my responsibility to the Chamber of Commerce is the same. I will bring my disciples to join the Cultivation Competition. If you want to question, you can challenge me first. "
As an old man of the Chamber of Commerce, Yujizi's words still have a lot of weight. Many elders from the headquarters also echoed:
"I'll join in too!"
"Count me in."
The atmosphere was heightened to this point, and many elders of the chamber of commerce branch also turned their heads to look at Bai Qiucheng.
Bai Qiucheng, who had made many countermeasures plans, now had no intention of going out on his own. Not to mention Ji Qinglin, even Yu Jizi said that if he had the money to call the president and take the lead in withdrawing if something happened, it would be really difficult for him to do so. It’s unjustifiable.
Bai Qiucheng took a deep breath, stood up and saluted:
"I, Bai Qiucheng, have also joined. Regardless of success or failure, I will do my best. Besides, someone hired a killer to assassinate Elder Ji today and framed me falsely. This shows that other chambers of commerce are still very afraid of our unity, and we should never Let other chambers of commerce profit by having other ideas at this time.”
Seeing this, a group of branch elders behind him also agreed:
"Elder Bai is right, let's join in!"
In fact, for most elders, the best result is naturally to participate in the cultivation competition and achieve good results. After all, it is not a good choice to go to other chambers of commerce to rely on others.
It's just that in the face of this kind of pressure, no one wants to take on this responsibility.
At this time, not only did almost the entire association join, but there were also obviously several grandmaster-level elders sitting in charge, and the uncertain positions were also settled.
What might have been a scene of dispute quickly turned into reminiscence and communication within the chamber of commerce.
Lei Qiuyun bowed deeply and said:
"I, Lei Qiuyun, would like to thank you all for your trust. Please register your participation with Elder Yujizi. I will inform you of the details of the Cultivation Competition in a timely manner after making plans."
"yes!"
After saying this, Lei Qiuyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he acted extremely calm, the tension and excitement in his heart were still very strong.
Relying on the foundation left by his father and the sacrifice of his teacher's help, he finally led the Chamber of Commerce to this point.
Thinking of this, Lei Qiuyun couldn't help but look back at the teacher Ji Qinglin who was sitting next to him and resting.
The latter extended his thumb to Lei Qiuyun and nodded with a smile.
Just when Lei Qiuyun wanted to say something, he saw the smile on Ji Qinglin's face gradually solidified, and then his body fell softly to the ground.
Before Lei Qiuyun and the elders around him could react, Yuye had already picked up Ji Qinglin, who had lost consciousness for some reason, and hurriedly shouted:
"Master! Doctor! Come quickly, doctor!"
Everyone present gathered together in surprise when they heard about the change.
Sun Yi was very close, and he leaned over to check for a moment and got the result immediately:
"He was poisoned! The knife he used to kill himself was poisoned!"
"How is that possible? The wound on Master's shoulder is obviously fine!"
"It's not a poison that targets the body, it's a poison that targets the soul! I'll stab him with acupuncture first. Quick, take him to my medical clinic!"
When Bai Qiucheng heard that he was protecting himself from the poison of the knife, he felt anxious. He hurriedly took Ji Qinglin from Yuye's hand, turned around and shouted:
"Get out of the way!"
Holding Ji Qinglin in his arms, he jumped over the crowd that had not yet had time to separate, and went straight to the car parked outside the stadium.
Yu Ye, who was following closely behind him, was even more panicked:
It is actually a poison targeting the soul consciousness! This is definitely beyond Master's expectation. Master, Master, you must bear it. Even if the door of your heart is pried open, I will definitely cure you!
