Chapter 326 - 326: Building a Merchant Band (1)
” Endless Mountains Development Plan?”
Zhou Tianli frowned,” So, disciple, you’re not fooling those demon emperors, but you’re really planning to strengthen the Endless Mountain Range?”
“Of course.” Yang Chen smiled and said,” This Endless Mountain Range has fed us. We naturally have to strengthen it. Of course, the premise is that they have to be obedient.””
Yang Chen didn’t say it explicitly, but Zhou Tianli knew who he was referring to.
They were nothing more than demon emperors living in the Endless Mountains. If they were obedient, Yang Chen would definitely bring them along to develop.
If he didn’t listen…
Perhaps the front gate of the Chen family was a little monotonous and needed some statues made of the corpses of demon emperors.
“So, while you are carrying out the Endless Mountain Development Plan, you are also gathering your own strength to prepare for the cultivation method?”Zhou Tianli asked.
“More or less.”
Chen Yang said,”I don’t believe that the main sect of the Beast Tamer Sect would give me the cultivation technique so easily.””
“Whether we use force to convince them or use resources to exchange, we need to accumulate our strength.”
Zhou Tianli nodded.” Then, what do you plan to do?”
“The first step is very simple. Build a trade route. Earning resources is one thing, but more importantly, learn about the situation outside.”
Speaking of this, Yang Chen’s eyes were cast in the direction of the Endless Mountain Range.” Although the Endless Mountain Range has blocked the external dangers for us, it has also blocked our vision.”
“I understand what you mean.”
Zhou Tianli understood and asked,””Is there anything I can help you with?”
Hearing Zhou Tianli’s words, Yang Chen didn’t stand on ceremony,” 1 need an expert to lead the caravan out of the Endless Mountain Range.”
Hearing this, Zhou Tianli pondered for a moment before saying,””You mean, you want me to lead the team?”
“No, it doesn’t necessarily have to be you, Master, leading the team. As long as there’s an expert at the Zifu level leading the team, it’ll be fine.”Yang Chen said.
“Understood.” Zhou Tianli nodded.” Since that’s the case, I’ll get your senior brother to lead the team. He already broke through to the Zifu Disciple level three years ago, and his wife also broke through to the Zifu Disciple level five years ago.”
“With two Zifu Disciples leading the troops, our safety will be guaranteed.”
“Senior Brother?”
Yang Chen knew that this senior brother was Zhou Tianli’s son, which was also Zhou Ying Zhao’s father.
“That’s right. Your senior brother, who is also my son, Zhou Mou, is cautious by nature. 1 can be more at ease if I use him to lead the team.”Zhou Tianli said.
“Zhou Mou? Senior Brother doesn’t have a travel license?” Yang Chen was stunned for a moment.
“No. After all, his mother is from the Li family. The Zhou family can’t let him take the title. Even Ying Zhao’s title was added because 1 strongly requested it.”Zhou Tianli explained.
Hearing this, Yang Chen understood and said worriedly,””But would Master’s wife be willing to let Senior Brother lead the team?”
“Don’t worry, Madam won’t refuse. It’s because Mou ‘er has a strong personality and is unwilling to rely on his mother and me.”
“Now that there’s such an opportunity for him to rely on his own hands to earn a breakthrough and ascend to the stage, and even to have rich resources for his parents, Mou ‘er won’t reject it.”
“My wife also respects the choice of her descendants, so she naturally won’t refuse.”
Hearing Zhou Tianli’s words, Yang Chen couldn’t say anything and could only promise,””Don’t worry, Master. I’ll arrange for a Demon Sovereign to accompany you.
With the Demon Sovereign guarding them, there was no problem with their safety.”
“Even if we are unlucky and break into the encampment of other demon emperors, they will not make things difficult for our caravan for the sake of the demon emperors who are accompanying us.”
With Yang Chen’s promise, Zhou Tianli’s last bit of worry disappeared. He smiled and said,””Disciple, don’t worry. 1’11 go back and call your senior brother over.”
“En, there’s no need to rush. 1’11 only start planning on the tenth of next month. It won’t be too late to ask Shixiong to come over then.”Yang Chen said.
“Alright, see you on the loth of next month.”
After discussing the matter, the two of them left and went to do their own things.
Chen Yang was preparing for the trade route while Zhou Tianli was preparing for his wife.
Since the Li family was willing to let them go, they naturally had to show the Li family respect. Zhou Tianli estimated that even if he started setting up now, it would take a few years before he could complete it.
Proposing marriage, welcoming the bride, and building a special manor, each of these required a long time.
Regarding this, Zhou Tianli was no longer anxious.
After all, he had waited for so many years. It was not a big deal to wait for a few more years. He still had to let his wife marry into the family in a grand manner and give her enough face.
This could be considered Zhou Tianli’s insignificant compensation.
While Zhou Tianli was busy with the wedding, Chen Xuan had already spread the news of the gathering at the Chen family on the loth of next month to all the factions in Jiang Prefecture.
Almost immediately, the leaders of the forces who received the news immediately took action and rushed to Chen City as if they were risking their lives, afraid that they would delay the day and make Chen Yang unhappy.
As the leaders of the various forces hurried on, the days passed. In the blink of an eye, it was the tenth of next month that Chen Yang had set.
On this day, a group of faction leaders were brought to a certain hall in the Chen family by the Chen family elders.
In the hall, Yang Chen was sitting on the main seat, smiling at everyone.
“Greetings, Patriarch Chen!”
Almost instantly, all the leaders of the forces, including Wang Shuo, bowed to Chen Yang.
Yang Chen, on the other hand, graciously accepted their salutations and immediately smiled,””There’s no need to be so polite. Please take a seat and have a good taste of my Chen family’s food.”
Hearing this, the group of faction leaders came to their seats under the lead of the Chen family guards.
After that, no one dared to delay and sat down obediently.
After everyone sat down, Yang Chen smiled and asked,””Do you know the reason why 1 invited you here?”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone replied in unison,”We don’t know.”
Seeing this, Yang Chen didn’t keep them in suspense anymore. He immediately smiled and said,””I called you here today because 1 have a business that will make you rich.”
“This…”
Yang Chen’s words had completely stunned them. The leaders of these forces began to discuss in low voices, analyzing the meaning behind Yang Chen’s words.
Yang Chen sat on the main seat and watched them discuss without stopping them.
Not long after, the discussion gradually died down. Wang Shuo stood up and asked,” Clan Leader Chen, what kind of business is it? What do you need us to do?””
Hearing this, Yang Chen smiled and nodded. He gestured for Wang Shuo to sit down and said,””I won’t keep you in suspense. This business is built by us with money and effort.”
“And the destination of the caravan is the world outside the Endless Mountain Range.”
“What?!”
His words shocked everyone, including Wang Shuo. No one had expected Yang Chen to be so bold..
