Chihu lake center island.
Zhang Qing, who had just returned, heard some jaw-dropping news.
Two Jinlan sect immortals, Jin Lian, and thousands of disciples attacked Lingxifang City, but the final result was that both sides suffered losses!
The Jinlan Sect retreated, and Lingxifang City was in ruins, but the second Jinlian Zhong did not die.
Strictly speaking, this matter should be considered a defeat for the Jinlan Sect, because when they took the initiative to attack and were unable to win, they were already defeated.
"From now on, I am afraid that the Jinlan Sect will not be able to sit still, and the entire Yunmengze will know that the Jinlan Sect can no longer cover the sky with one hand."
On the island in the middle of the lake, many Zhang family elders drank strong alcohol wantonly on this day, acting crazy in the snowy cold winter, and their laughter filled the island for a long time without stopping.
Zhang Qing, who returned, was also particularly curious and found a clan elder and asked: "Even the Zhao family can't snatch anything from the Jinlan Sect. They can only choose to control the mortal kingdom, Lingxifang City and Xianyue. How did the city do it?”
In the past, Yunmengze was the only one who could confront the Jinlan Sect head-on, but even the Zhao family ultimately retreated and chose another path, not daring to compete with the Jinlan Sect in the world of cultivation.
But everything has changed now. When the Lingxi Gun and the entire city of Lingxifang City survived, Yunmengze became different from before.
Listening to Zhang Qing's curious inquiry, the clan elder smiled drunkenly and said: "There are three reasons. First, the Jinlan Sect only dispatched two immortal magic seeds, Golden Lotus, and neither of them carried the Jinlan Sect's clan-suppressing magic weapon."
"Second, the Lingxi Spear got an opportunity in the fairy world in the Land of Yunxia, and his strength nearly doubled. Then Xundu from Xianyue City controls a fairy mountain, and another golden lotus planted in Xianyue City is even more interesting."
"That strange woman is the Immortal Golden Lotus."
"As for the third point, it's even more ridiculous. The Jinlan Sect has controlled nearly 50% of Yunmengze's resources for hundreds of years, but the qi training disciples in their sect have lost to the qi training disciples of Xianyue City, and it's all-round Rout!"
"The defeat in the Qi training period affected the battle between the foundation builders. In the end, Zhong Jinlian had to give up."
"Fifty percent of the entire Yunmengze's resources support a sect, but they have cultivated a bunch of trash, hahahaha! The Jinlan Sect is getting better and better as it lives."
The elder of the Zhang family seemed to see the hope of the family's rise at this moment.
Zhang Qing was shocked for a long time when he heard the news.
If he understood it well, the third factor mentioned by the clan elder has two key points. One is that the qi-training monks from Xianyue City are not the inheritance of immortal magic, and the other is a group of qi-training period who practice the inheritance of mortal magic. He crushed the disciples from Jinlan Sect who had the inheritance of immortal magic.
Zhang Qing was not surprised that a mortal monk could defeat an immortal monk. After all, martial arts would differ from person to person, but this was a large-scale fight.
Among the thousands of disciples of the Jinlan Sect, there must be at least several hundred immortal magic inheritances. Did they all lose?
"How capable is this Xianyue City?" When Zhang Qing finished speaking, he realized that the clan elder in front of him had fallen asleep, and the wine in his hand was dripping from the wine gourd and spilling on the snow.
Zhang Qing, who didn't get the answer, didn't ask anyone else. There would eventually be a truth about this matter, and he was just waiting.
On the third day after returning to Huxin Island, Zhang Qing waited for the results of the battle in Lingxifang City.
"Lingxifang City and Xianyue City merged, and both parties jointly established a force called the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce. Three Zhong Jinlian served as the presidents of the three major chambers of commerce."
"Lingyue Chamber of Commerce was built on the ruins of the original Lingxifang City, and expanded several times to the size of a city."
"And the entire process of establishing the Chamber of Commerce was extremely smooth. From beginning to end, Jinlan Sect didn't release a single word."
"Yunmengze has another force, but why is it the Chamber of Commerce?"
Zhang Qing's eyes showed thinking, and he quickly realized the reason.
It's very simple. Four clans and large and small cultivating forces have carved up Yunmengze more than a hundred years ago, and the remaining ones are also the territory of demons.
Nowadays, it is almost impossible for Lingxifang City and Xianyue City to snatch a piece of meat worthy of three golden lotus species on the land of Yunmengze.
There are not many resources left for them. If they try to grab it, it will only arouse public anger and lead to a group attack.
Because in the entire Yunmengze, they wanted to take action against the weak forces, such as the official family, such as the Bailu Wang family, and in the end all four clans were involved.
As long as Lingxifang City and Xianyue City don't want to go to war with the entire Yunmengze, they can only find another way.
"Yunmengze hasn't reshuffled the cards yet, so the appearance of the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce is understandable. If they are just doing business with cultivators, can they win over the four clans?"
Zhang Qing raised his head and thought of what the head of the family had said. He wanted to look not only at Yun Mengze, but also at places farther away.
"Xianyue City...Lingyue Chamber of Commerce plans to transport Yun Mengze's things to Million Mountain to buy and resell them?"
There is naturally a profit in this, and there are now many monks from Xianyue City in the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce, who have connections and identities.
"But if this is the case, wouldn't Junchengfang City have any objections?"
Zhang Qing suddenly laughed. The appearance of the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce may not shake the interests of the four clans, but Junchengfang City, which is the gateway to Yunmengze, may be severely impacted by this.
"But no matter what, the situation in Yunmengze is starting to get chaotic."
Zhang Qing raised his head and looked at the tallest building on the island in the middle of the lake, "Master, when do you plan to plant the golden lotus?"
The first time he saw the dossier, Zhang Qing could think of what was said outside.
There are probably many rumors about the decline of the four major families, the decline of the overlord, and the turmoil in the spiritual world.
It is undeniable that the failure of Jinlan Sect has certainly affected the prestige and status of Jinlan Sect, but the ones most directly injured are probably the four major immortal cultivating families.
After all, the Jinlan Sect can still say that it has only two out of six members, but the four major immortal cultivating families may have been outmatched by the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce.
No one would think that the Jinlan Sect was not number one, but many people would think that the four major families were no longer qualified to be in the second position.
"If it is not dealt with, many of the family's businesses may be affected in the coming time."
Zhang Qing knew very well that half of the resources of the Zhang family in Chihu came from the mining of spiritual resources like the Xuanyan Mine, and the other half came from the offerings of small immortal cultivating forces such as the Guan Family. This has led to trade exchanges among major casual repair shops and markets.
As for the previous situation in Yunxia Land, it was purely an incident that could not be expected and could not be used as a long-term source of resources.
And now the emergence of Lingyue Chamber of Commerce will inevitably affect the other half of the Zhang family's income.
For example, will the casual cultivators who originally traded with the Zhang Family Shop choose the more powerful Lingyue Chamber of Commerce? Or, will those cultivating forces that rely on the Zhang family have other ideas after seeing a power that is completely useless and waiting to be revitalized, and hand over things that originally belong to the Zhang family to the Lingyue Chamber of Commerce?
As long as one person or force wants to do this, the Zhang family will lose a lot of spiritual stones.
The loss of these spiritual stones will eventually be reflected in every member of the Zhang family. There will be people who have reduced cultivation resources and are unable to break through the foundation building, and there will be foundations that lack spiritual stones and spiritual objects and their strength will decline.
Clan members without resources may lose their lives in a certain experience, and foundation-building elders who are not strong enough may lose in a battle, causing greater losses to the family's interests.
For the Zhang family, isn't the most terrifying thing the family's overall strength starting to decline?
In short, the appearance of Lingyue Chamber of Commerce seems to be just a confrontation with Jinlan Sect, but it affects all aspects of Yunmengze like a gentle flapping of butterfly wings.
Zhang Qing, who naturally stood in the Zhang family's position, obviously had no more choices.
"Unexpectedly, the Jinlan Sect's one-handed control turns out to be the resource allocation and status of one sect, four clans and five families that have been stable for hundreds of years."
Unable to help but shake his head, Zhang Qing stood up and headed towards the Zong Tower.
The questions he could think of were also thought of by his family.
