Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

Seeing that everything in the Qin Dynasty was thriving and the people were living in peace and contentment, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"May I ask, sir, where is the largest and best restaurant and inn in Jinling City?"

After walking around Jinling City for a while, Su Liang called out to an old man passing by.

Seeing Su Liang's polite manner and the fact that Su Liang and Jun Hongyan were a handsome couple, he couldn't help but sigh, "Youth is truly wonderful. Asking about the location of restaurants and inns in broad daylight, it's bound to be another passionate encounter soon."

"Cough cough..."

Su Liang was taken aback, wondering whether he or the Empress had been recognized.

It took him a moment to realize that the old man was like an old horse still eager to gallop a thousand miles; though he was old, his ambition remained undiminished.

He only thought of the first level, while this old man had already thought of the tenth level!

"The largest inn and restaurant in Jinling City is naturally Tianxia Pavilion."

After the old man finished speaking, he immediately...

It was a departure filled with deep emotion.

I still feel regretful that I didn't think of it when I was young, that I could sing and enjoy myself in the daytime.

Su Liang stated that he genuinely took the Empress to sample the delicacies of Jinling and had absolutely no other intentions.

Although the Empress and Su Liang had been married for many days, they did not understand the old man's implied meaning at all.

Before long, Su Liang and the Empress arrived at the Tianxia Pavilion.

Tianxia Pavilion is one of the tallest buildings in Jinling City. Although it only has nine floors, each floor is as tall as a typical pavilion or palace.

At first glance, it is magnificent and resplendent, like a heavenly palace.

Outside the Tianxia Pavilion, numerous high-ranking officials and dignitaries entered in an orderly fashion.

The Tianxia Pavilion boasts three treasures: fine wine and delicacies, rare and precious items, and twelve renowned entertainers who are famous throughout Jinling and the surrounding area.

Countless powerful figures from major sects and schools, as well as numerous high-ranking officials and nobles, often linger here, spending unforgettable nights together.

"Young master, please stop here. Do you two have invitations?"

Just as Su Liang was about to take the Empress into the Tianxia Pavilion, a seemingly warm but inwardly cold maid and an arrogant male servant stopped them.

The so-called "dogs in the yamen" are all half-officials.

Although the man and woman were merely greeters at Tianxia Pavilion, as members of Tianxia Pavilion under the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, they naturally felt they held a certain status.

Especially considering that Su Liang and the Empress were not dressed in any luxurious attire, it was clear that they did not have high status.

Although the two were a perfect match, seniority was the norm in this place.

"An invitation?"

Su Liang was dumbfounded. Did you need an invitation to have a meal?

Seeing Su Liang's appearance, the man and woman couldn't help but feel a little disdainful. He didn't even know about the invitation from Tianxia Pavilion. It seemed he had never entered Tianxia Pavilion even once.

Many high-ranking officials, dignitaries, and promising young talents who were queuing around were now laughing and joking.

Didn't you see that they are all people of high status, yet they are still queuing in an orderly manner?

If you don't have an invitation, you can only enter by queuing.

Su Liang and Jun Hongyan tried to enter directly without invitations, which was already considered cutting in line. According to the rules, even if they were to queue now, they would still be prohibited from entering Tianxia Pavilion for seven days.

"Please leave, both of you. You entered without invitations, which is considered cutting in line. According to the rules of Tianxia Pavilion, you will have to wait seven days before you can enter."

As the aloof maid spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to a huge jade disc beside her, on which were written in seal script the various rules of the Tianxia Pavilion.

"Wait a moment, my lady. I am Guo Huaiming, the third manager of Tianxia Pavilion. If you would do me the honor of accompanying me inside to listen to music and enjoy tea, and spend a pleasant evening together, I can take you in and give you a three-star VIP jade token. You can enter Tianxia Pavilion at any time in the future if you wish."

As soon as Guo Huaiming said this, countless women looked at the Empress with extreme envy.

"Oh!"

"Crack!"

However, with a muffled thud, Guo Huaiming broke several ribs instantly.

As he spat out a mouthful of blood, Su Liang grabbed his throat and lifted him up like a dead goose.

"You old bastard, are you tired of living?"

At this moment, Su Liang exerted his strength, and his powerful aura shattered many of Guo Huaiming's bones and meridians. His dantian was completely broken, and his sea of ​​consciousness was almost collapsing.

After this, Guo Huaiming will not die, but he will plummet from a powerful expert at the peak of the twelfth level of the Reincarnation Realm to a cripple barely surviving in the world.

"You...you dare to cripple my cultivation! Do you even know that Tianxia Pavilion is an asset of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce!"

At this moment, Guo Huaiming didn't know why Su Liang would attack him, but after Su Liang crippled his cultivation, Guo Huaiming almost roared in anger.

The World Chamber of Commerce is one of the top ten chambers of commerce in the cultivation world. Its influence extends to all states, dynasties, and empires, making it an unshakeable behemoth.

Within the World Commerce Guild, there are countless powerful land immortals, countless rare treasures, and countless powerful individuals who are on good terms with the World Commerce Guild.

No rational person would choose to oppose the World Chamber of Commerce.

The Empress looked at Su Liang with a hint of affection in her eyes.

Guo Huaiming's words about wanting to spend the night with her undoubtedly touched a nerve with Su Liang.

Su Liang's reaction was swift and domineering; the third manager of Tianxia Pavilion was now rendered useless.

The dragon's reverse scale—those who touch it will die!

Although Guo Huaiming is not dead, his current state is definitely more desperate and painful than death.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

In that instant, countless powerful figures from the Tianxia Pavilion, as well as the terrestrial immortals who once again took up their posts from the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, all appeared around Su Liang.

"If you don't give a reasonable explanation today, neither of you will leave here alive!"

The patron of the World Chamber of Commerce spoke rudely at this moment.

"Why bother talking to Lu Kuang, who has already crippled my second brother? Why not just kill him?"

At this moment, the head manager of Tianxia Pavilion, who was also Guo Huaiming's elder brother, spoke with uncontrollable rage.

Of the three managers of Tianxia Pavilion, the first and third managers are twin brothers, and at this moment, he no longer concealed his murderous intent towards Su Liang.

Chapter 518 Black Dragon Order, Empress's Private Visit

The already bustling city of Jinling was now even more lively.

Countless cultivators from all directions rushed over at this moment, eager to witness this grand spectacle.

The third manager of Tianxia Pavilion was crippled at the entrance of Tianxia Pavilion. This is definitely not a small show!

In the entire city of Jinling and even the surrounding cities, almost no cultivator dared to provoke the Tianxia Pavilion, but now...

Yes, I've got it!

Although people came from all directions to watch the show, most of the cultivators maintained a safe distance.

After all, Su Liang had just casually crippled the third leader of Tianxia Pavilion, so his strength was clearly not weak.

At this moment, the head manager was very dissatisfied when he saw that Lu Kuang, the retainer, did not immediately take action.

Although Tianxia Pavilion is one of the forces under the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, the emperor is far away and there are countless Tianxia Pavilions like it in various states.

Therefore, even the headquarters of Tianxia Pavilion is unable to manage everything.

In terms of status, Lu Kuang, who came from the headquarters of the World Chamber of Commerce, was even higher than him.

However, since he had managed Tianxia Pavilion for many years, and now that Lu Kuang was not speaking up, he had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

"Kill him!"

At this moment, the head manager did not hesitate at all and directly ordered many of the experts from Tianxia Pavilion to take action.

Many cultivators in the surrounding Jinling City were startled. Although Tianxia Pavilion was domineering, it had never dared to kill people directly, at least not openly.

This time, Tianxia Pavilion undoubtedly revealed its powerful and arrogant side to everyone once again.

"Do not act rashly!"

Just as many powerful figures from Tianxia Pavilion were about to make their move, Lü Kuang snorted coldly and gave the head manager a cold glance.

He knew in his heart that Guo Huainan already harbored ulterior motives, and at this moment, he dared to openly disobey his orders.

If he could, he would definitely find an opportunity to kill Guo Huainan.

The most important factor that has enabled the World Chamber of Commerce to develop to this day is the concept of rules and regulations.

They abide by the rules of the cultivation world, as well as the rules of the major dynasties and empires. After all, when doing things on someone else's turf, it is absolutely unacceptable not to follow the rules.

After Lü Kuang spoke, many of the powerful figures from Tianxia Pavilion were somewhat at a loss.

The head manager is the owner of Tianxia Pavilion in Jinling City, while Lu Kuang, the retainer, is directly sent down from the headquarters of Tianxia Chamber of Commerce to oversee the business.

In this situation, they are indeed in a difficult position.

"Reverse! Reverse!"

Are you deaf?

"Without my Tianxia Pavilion, would you still have a place in Jinling City?"

"Capture and kill this man immediately!"

The head manager was furious. After he spoke in a tough tone, many experts from Tianxia Pavilion continued to make their moves.

Lu Kuang wanted to say more, but the second manager of Tianxia Pavilion was already standing beside him.

"Yunxi, do you know what you're doing?"

The second manager of Tianxia Pavilion was a woman whose face was covered by a light veil.

Her origins are shrouded in mystery, and she has no memory of her past.

Because he was saved by the head manager in the past, and because of his strong abilities, he became the second-in-command of Tianxia Pavilion.

Normally, she would be in seclusion cultivating, but now that she had come out, it meant that even Lü Kuang could not sway the head manager's will.

Beside Su Liang, the Empress's brows were now slightly furrowed.

She had thought that the Qin territory was peaceful and prosperous, but she never expected that there were many other powerful forces besides the few she controlled.
