Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1649 The Ghost King Sect Appears

Black Jade Square.

The originally lively atmosphere fell into an eerie silence as a black spirit boat carried by a hundred ghosts approached.

Over the years, the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce has transformed from an obscure and ordinary chamber of commerce to an all-powerful force, almost joining hands with the Four Symbols Demon Sect to control the entire Northern Demon Realm. Its status has undergone a dramatic change, so the origin of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce is no longer a secret.

All the major demonic sects are well aware of the grudges and entanglements between the president of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce and the Ghost King Sect.

The Vast Demon Realm occupied by the Ghost King Sect is the true starting point of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce.

"Ghost King Sect?"

The three elders of the Devouring Underworld also showed a hint of surprise in their eyes at the same time.

Unexpectedly, the Ghost King Sect, which resides in the Vast Yuan Demon Realm, actually took the initiative to send people here.

It's important to understand that the conflict between the Ghost King Sect and this person wasn't a simple one; it stemmed from 'betrayal'.

Although to outsiders, the so-called 'betrayal' is nothing, after all, people naturally strive for higher positions, and in the demonic sect where everything is based on strength, it is not even considered a stain.

But for the Ghost King Sect itself, it was undoubtedly a blatant betrayal.

The Ghost King Sect once valued this Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi highly and even entrusted him with important responsibilities.

"It seems the Ghost King Sect has made its choice!"

In an instant, the three elders of the Devouring Underworld exchanged glances.

Upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense.

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Even the Four Symbols Demon Sect has to give way to this Xuan Shi Demon Lord, let alone the Ghost King Sect.

The Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce now possesses three peak late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. Such power is enough to overwhelm most of the top forces. It is only natural that the Ghost King Sect would choose to abandon past grievances and submit.

at the same time.

The black ghost boat carried by a hundred ghosts has arrived above the Black Jade Plaza.

The next moment, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Division of the Ghost King Sect appeared with two Ghost King Sect elders at the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

"Ghost Ring, representing the Ghost King Sect, has come to congratulate Fellow Daoist Black Nether on his advancement and to congratulate the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce on gaining another powerful figure!"

The three bowed deeply and paid their respects.

"Elder, there's no need for such formalities!"

With a faint smile, Li Xuan stepped forward to greet them, saying, "Back then, I was deeply nurtured by the Holy Sect, which is why the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce exists today!"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Department could no longer suppress his emotions.

Looking at that familiar young face in black robes, he felt a complex mix of emotions.

Once upon a time, the person in front of me was just a member of the Ghost King Sect, under his control and command.

He still remembered the first time they met, when this familiar young figure in black robes bowed to him respectfully as a senior. Now, only a hundred years have passed, and the other party has become someone he looks up to. Now, it is he who needs to bow respectfully.

In just over a hundred years, everything has changed dramatically.

The Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce, which originated from the Hao Yuan Demon Realm, has now become a behemoth, even surpassing the current Ghost King Sect.

After forcibly suppressing his complex emotions, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Department forced a smile: "We have come here on behalf of the Sect Master to convey our congratulations to Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi and the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce."

"The past is gone. I hope that under the leadership of Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi of the Chamber of Commerce, we will grow stronger and represent the entire demonic path in promoting its revival."

"As a member of the demonic path, this is my duty!"

Li Xuan smiled and nodded.

He naturally already knew about the Ghost King Sect's arrival.

The only thing he hadn't expected was that the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Department personally led the team.

"That's a bit of a pity!"

Li Xuan secretly restrained his thoughts.

He had assumed that Kenjaku would come in person, and even considered taking the opportunity to eliminate him and resolve this problem ahead of time.

However, since it was this Grand Elder of the Heavenly Department who came, this idea became meaningless.

"We'll figure out a way to deal with it later. Anyway, with me here, even if that sword jade possesses heaven-defying swordsmanship, it'll be in vain."

Li Xuan then smiled and invited the three Grand Elders of the Heavenly Department to take their seats.

To demonstrate their stance, they even placed him in the very center, to the left of the three elders of the Devouring Underworld.

In any case, the other party is representing the Ghost King Sect, so it's impossible for them to sit on the outer perimeter.

Moreover, Li Xuan also wanted to take this opportunity to ease the tension with the Ghost King Sect, since he had long coveted the opportunities behind the Ghost King Sect.

Only by restoring normal relations between the two sides can he get close to the Ghost King Sect.

At this moment, the three Grand Elders of the Heavenly Department all turned their gazes toward Hei Ming, who was sitting quietly cross-legged.

"It's actually a powerful ghost spirit?"

After discovering Hei Ming's background, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Department became even more shocked.

"How is this possible? This world can automatically give birth to such a powerful ghost spirit body?"

The Ghost King Sect's lineage is already proficient in controlling ghosts and spirits, so they naturally have a deep understanding of the ways of ghosts and spirits.

If a ghost is born in a normal place of darkness, not to mention that most of them are mentally deficient, their growth rate is also very slow without external assistance.

This powerful ghost spirit was clearly exceptionally strong, and it was even somewhat unlike a ghost spirit that had grown up with a congenital defect.

"Nothing is impossible. With the world now unsealed and the chaos spreading, some extraordinary things are bound to emerge."

At this moment, Hei Ming was also looking at the three elders of the Heavenly Department with great interest.

It naturally has no worries about its secrets being exposed. Now it has long become a member of the Heavenly Nether Ghost lineage and has long since severed ties with the core lineage of the Ghost King Sect.

"The Ghost King Sect will probably never have imagined that my birth came from them, and that without that fortuitous encounter back then, I would not have been able to become a member of the Heavenly Nether Ghost lineage."

Thinking of this, Hei Ming's grin widened even further, and a deep greed began to emanate from the depths of his ghostly eyes.

It was perfectly clear that the opportunity to advance to the fourth-order Great Perfection stage in the future would most likely fall to the Ghost King Sect.

If it could seize the passage to the Heavenly Ghost Realm occupied by the Ghost King Sect, it would be nothing short of a stroke of luck for it.

Faced with Hei Ming's 'meaningful' gaze, the three Grand Elders of the Heavenly Department subconsciously felt a chill rise in their hearts.

It seems this ancient ghost spirit is not very friendly to their Ghost King Sect.

Upon closer examination, it makes sense. The Ghost King Sect is most famous for its control over ghost spirits, so the two sides are naturally at odds.

The three of them were unaware that Hei Ming had long known about the secrets within the Ghost King Sect and had even begun to covet them.

"On behalf of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone for coming today!"

Li Xuan smiled and slowly rose, raising his wine glass: "I also thank the three Grand Elders of the Four Symbols Demon Sect and the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Department of the Ghost King Sect for coming to celebrate Fellow Daoist Heiming's advancement with the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce!"

"Thank you all for coming!"

Hei Ming also stood up and nodded his thanks: "I was fortunate to receive guidance and help from the president back then, which enabled me to advance to the peak of the late stage. Now I am joining the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce to become a Supreme Elder."

"I hope to do my part in the future to help the Chamber of Commerce grow faster."

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Heiming on your advancement, and congratulations also to Fellow Daoist Xuanshi and your esteemed Chamber of Commerce."

In an instant, everyone in the entire Black Jade Square stood up and raised their glasses in celebration.

Countless eyes were focused on the six figures in the center of the square.

Three Grand Elders at the late Nascent Soul stage from the Four Symbols Demon Sect and three figures from the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce stood facing each other, representing the current world order of the Northern Demon Realm.

Under the restrictions of the world, where great cultivators live in seclusion.

The Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce has already achieved a level of power comparable to the Four Symbols Demon Sect.

"I hope the Grand Elder will convey my gratitude to the Sect Master!"

Li Xuan raised his wine cup and said with a smile, "I will always remember the kindness of the Holy Sect in nurturing me. Although we are now in different places, this will not affect our friendship!"

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi is too serious!"

The Grand Elder of the Heavenly Department wore a humble smile: "The Sect Master has praised Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi highly and has always hoped that the Ghost King Sect and your esteemed Chamber of Commerce can continue to maintain a good cooperative relationship."

"With Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi's exceptional talent, you should be the number one genius in our demonic path. Even without the Ghost King Sect, you will surely soar to great heights and awe the world."

Upon hearing the words "gratitude," he felt he had already achieved his goal.

To put it bluntly, the Ghost King Sect now needs to rely on the power of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce more than ever, and the status between the two has already fundamentally changed.

"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely visit the Holy Sect in person."

"At that time, we will definitely open our sect to welcome Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi!"

After exchanging pleasantries, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Department casually revealed a profound message.

"Actually, the sect leader originally wanted Elder Jianyu to personally represent the Ghost King Sect to congratulate your esteemed merchant association, but unfortunately Elder Jianyu is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, and is unable to leave. That's why I came in person."

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.

This seemingly casual greeting and pleasantries are more like a kind of demonstration.

All factions were well aware of Jian Yu's strength. Despite being only at the late Nascent Soul stage, he had nearly mastered the Sword Soul realm, making him incredibly powerful and capable of challenging opponents at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage.

Once such a person successfully advances and reaches the peak of the late stage of cultivation, their combat power will undoubtedly approach the level of a great cultivator.

The three elders of the Devouring Underworld also had their eyes slightly shifting.

If that Jian Yu successfully advances, they will need to change their attitude towards the Ghost King Sect. After all, a terrifying existence who is close to the level of a Great Cultivator can command the wind and rain in this world.

"In that case, I would also like to extend my congratulations on Elder Jianyu's promotion on behalf of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce!"

As if remembering something, Li Xuan feigned flattery and said, "Once Elder Jianyu advances, his terrifying swordsmanship will likely be enough to sweep across the world and make him invincible."

"At that time, the cultivation world of the Eastern Seas will naturally be insignificant."

Upon hearing this, the smile on the face of the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Department froze for a moment.

Although he was aware of Elder Jianyu's background and resources, it would be difficult to say that he was invincible and could disregard the cultivation world of the Eastern Sea.

After all, the master of the cultivation world in the eastern sea is an even more invincible being.

Facing Qingxuan Zhenjun, who was hailed as the number one person below the Great Cultivator, the entire Ghost King Sect had no confidence whatsoever.

That Azure Profound True Monarch was like an immovable mountain, pressing down on the Ghost King Sect and inspiring despair.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi is too kind!"

The Grand Elder of the Heavenly Department forced a smile: "Elder Jianyu will probably need some more time to complete his advancement."

"."

As time goes by.

The Ghost King Sect was the first to take their leave, but in their final moments, they did not forget to reiterate their desire to restore close ties with the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce.

With the departure of the three members of the Ghost King Sect, Li Xuan and the others, along with the three elders of the Devouring Netherworld Sect, naturally began to withdraw from the celebration, leaving only Heishan Yunqi to preside over the remaining events.

Inside the main hall of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce.

Six figures sat quietly on their respective dark thrones.

The three members of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce and the three elders of the Four Symbols Demon Sect sat facing each other.

"There were too many people around to talk to just now, so it wasn't convenient to go into details!"

Li Xuan looked at the three elders of the Devouring Underworld with a smile: "Actually, there is another piece of good news to share with the three elders."

"Oh?"

The three elders of the Devouring Underworld immediately showed surprise and curiosity.

"The Supreme Elder in charge of burial and offerings will also soon go into seclusion to attempt to break through to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage!"

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Perhaps it won't be long before our demonic path camp gains another peak Nascent Soul stage expert."

In an instant, the expressions of the three elders of the Devouring Underworld froze.

However, as things stand, the strength of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce is already close to that of the Four Symbols Demon Sect. If the other mysterious cultivator who practices the Path of Death were to advance again, the Four Symbols Demon Sect would likely be at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

Moreover, this mysterious cultivator who practices the Way of Death possesses the power and methods of the late-stage Nascent Soul realm. Once he advances, he will be far beyond what ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators can compare to.

"Doesn't that mean that the Four Symbols Demon Sect might be no match for the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce in the future?"

Upon realizing this terrifying truth, the three elders of the Devouring Underworld subconsciously exchanged glances, each able to see the deep apprehension in the other's eyes.

More importantly, there is the Xuan Shi Demon Lord in front of them. During their meeting, the three of them clearly sensed that his aura had grown stronger and more powerful, and he was unfathomable. If he were to advance again, with his methods, he would probably become another terrifying combat power that was close to the level of a Great Cultivator.

"Unless we wait for the ancestors to be reborn, the Four Symbols Demon Sect will likely find it increasingly difficult to deal with the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce."

The next moment, Elder Shiming forced a smile: "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Sizang, and congratulations to Fellow Daoist Xuanshi."

"I fear that before long, the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce will enter a new era of prosperity and growth."

Li Xuan chuckled inwardly, but his face hardened with seriousness as he said, "The Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce has always been a member of the Northern Demon Realm, and will surely grow and prosper alongside the demonic forces under the leadership of the Four Symbols Demon Sect."

The burial spring stood silently to the side.

He probably guessed the chairman's scheme.

The other party is definitely going to use the sudden appearance of this powerful Black Netherworld Ghost Spirit and the news of his impending advancement to initiate new negotiations and transactions with the Four Symbols Demon Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi, you flatter us. It should be that we both lead the Northern Demon Realm to a new era of prosperity!"

Just as the Grand Elder of the Underworld was putting on a show of politeness and humility.

Li Xuan shook his head slightly, feigning helplessness: "I originally hoped to quickly reach the late-stage peak realm and contribute to the revival of the entire demonic path!"

"But unfortunately, I have encountered a new bottleneck, and I'm afraid I have no hope of promotion in the short term."

For a moment, the council hall fell silent.

At that moment, the three elders of the Devouring Underworld instantly realized that this was what was waiting for them.

This celebration is probably just a show; this fellow Daoist Xuan Shi clearly has ulterior motives.

"Oh!"

After exchanging bewildered glances, the three elders of the Devouring Netherworld were forced to speak on behalf of the Four Symbols Demonic Sect, asking, "What bottleneck has Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi encountered?"

"If we can lend Fellow Daoist Xuan Shi a hand, our Four Symbols Demonic Sect will certainly impart all our knowledge to you."
