Business Journey in Immortal Tao

Dressed in camouflage clothes, the guards walked in an orderly manner through the city gate in a steady stream. Li Yun was walking at the very front of the city gate with Chan Juan and Cha Lu, obviously heading to Cloudy Sea Restaurant.    

    

When Li Yun entered the city, other than chatting with that Aurous Core stage cultivator surnamed Xia, no one else took the initiative to greet him. The atmosphere was a bit strange.    

    

Li Yun did not mind it at all. He himself was an expert of the Full Circle of the Golden Core and was already one of the top experts in the entire Heze City. He only had people trying to curry favor with him. Even the City Lord's Golden Heze is only at the middle stage of the Aurous Core stage.    

    

The manager of Cloudy Sea Restaurant, Wang Bin, had already received the news that Li Yun had entered the city and was waiting at the entrance. When he saw Li Yun, he immediately went up and bowed.    

    

Li Yun smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, you've worked hard."    

    

Wang Bin did not say it was hard on him as he led Li Yun and Chan Juan into a private room. Naturally, there were twelve guards that Spiritual Maid brought to the backyard to arrange lodging and the like.    

    

As the dishes were served, Li Yun took a sip of the spirit wine and frowned. He almost vomited. The white liquid was like rice wine and emitted a sour taste.    

    

Li Yun indifferently said, "Speak, who caused you to suffer?"    

    

Tears flowed down Wang Bin's face, "The Amazing Pill Pavilion has set their sights on our land. Many times I have come to buy and rejected them, so they went to the mayor to frame me as a refugee and tried to rebel. During the demon beast horde, rioting is what the mayor was most worried about, so the mayor sent people to investigate. "    

    

"Miracle Pill Pavilion?" I will destroy it with just a wave of my hand. You don't have to worry, no one will dare to touch Cloudy Sea Restaurant. Tell me about the situation of the refugees being taken in! " Li Yun said calmly.    

    

He took a deep breath and said, "Currently, there are already a hundred thousand refugees, so food is not a problem, but the living environment is already very bad. In the 500 mu of land in the backyard, it is already packed full of people.    

    

As they were talking, a waiter from Yunhai Hall pushed open the door and said, "Reporting to young master, the mayor has come to see you. The messenger is waiting for an answer."    

    

"Tell him that I'll be there in two hours." "Wang Bin, you should go down as well." Li Yun replied.    

    

After Wang Bin and the shop assistant left, Li Yun said to Chan, "Release the drone and follow that person."    

    

Ever since the Yunhai Restaurant had been modified by Li Yun, each of the rooms had a large TV. Usually, there would be some landscapes and during meals, you could also play TV series or music.    

    

Chan quickly connected the drone to the television. The drone flew out of the window as well. Chan controlled the drone and flew into the sky. The drone was so small that no one noticed it was there.    

    

The television screen zoomed in, and a man dressed in black City Guard and armor strode towards the City Lord's Mansion. A skinny young man dressed in black was waiting at the City Lord's Mansion's gate. When he saw the soldier, he immediately went up to him and exchanged a few words with his head lowered. They then entered the mansion together.    

    

In the courtyard stood a large number of black armored warriors. A tall, white robed old man stood in front of the City Lord's Mansion, and the young man accompanied the black armored messenger to the old man, cupping his hands and reporting to him.    

    

The black-clothed youth went close to the old man's ear and said a few words. A few people raised their heads and laughed.    

    

Suddenly, Juan shouted, "I remember, that young man in black is Miao Dan Pavilion, the one who bought the Qi Condensation Pill for us."    

    

Li Yun didn't reply. He picked up the walkie-talkie and called out, "Spring, autumn moon, plum blossom, and wind, frost, and snow, all come to the private rooms of the Wind Listening Pavilion in the restaurant. I'll wait."    

    

In just a few breaths of time, Spiritual Maid entered the Listening Wind Pavilion one after another and stood behind Li Yun. They all looked at the screen that Li Yun was looking at.    

    

One by one, the black armored warriors came out, bowed in front of the white robed old man, and left the mansion. At least half of the warriors, about five thousand of them, quickly left the Mayor's mansion and rushed to the streets.    

    

The remaining five thousand men quickly concealed themselves in various parts of the mansion. The black robed youth also left the City Lord's Mansion and quickly ran towards the Exquisite Pill House.    

    

At this time, Li Yun's cold voice sounded out in the room, "Truly, there is no harm in men, the tiger has the power to devour people. In an hour, I will go to that place to see the mayor, but the mayor will place an armor over him. If he wants to kill your young master, what do you think we should do?"    

    

Spiritual Maid shouted in unison, "Kill!"    

    

"Okay, from now on, this Heze City will belong to me." Li Yun said heroically, "Plum Blossom listen to my command."    

    

"Here."    

    

"The four of you, lead two thousand-man squads and quickly take over four city gates. Reject any spirit beasts that might invade and prevent anyone from escaping."    

    

"Yes." Mei Lan and the four maidservants accepted the order and quickly left.    

    

"Spring, autumn, moon, listen to my orders."    

    

"Here." Four delicate shouts rang out.    

    

"The four of you will each lead two thousand-man squads, suppressing all of the resistance from the City Guard." The four of you will each lead two thousand-man squads, suppressing all of the resistance from the City Guard.    

    

"Yes." Fourth Servant also quickly left the Wind Listening Pavilion.    

    

"Feng Shuang, Rain, and Snow, listen to me."    

    

"Here."    

    

"The four of you, lead two thousand-man squads to surround the Mayor's mansion from all four sides and seal off the surrounding streets to await my order."    

    

"Yes." The wind, frost, rain and snow had also left the private room.    

    

"Juan, lead six thousand artillery guards and use light weapons to attack the Exquisite Pill Pavilion. Capture that shopkeeper. Leave no one else from the Exquisite Pill Pavilion alive." Li Yun looked at Juan with a serious expression. "If the matter is closed, can we cooperate with the Spring and Autumn to maintain law and order?"    

    

Juan clasped her hands and bowed. "Rest assured, Young Master. Juan will definitely not let you down."    

    

With that, Juan's figure flashed and disappeared in front of Li Yun.    

    

Li Yun once again directed his gaze towards the screen and asked Chan, "Just now, did you save all the videos of the City Lord's Mansion setting me up to ambush and kill me?"    

    

"Yes, young master." Chan answered confidently.    

    

The white-robed old man in the screen paced back and forth alone in the courtyard, occasionally looking up at the sky. Through the lens of the drone, Li Yun could see the anxiety and unease in his eyes.    

    

Suddenly, intense gunshots and dull explosions came from the four gates of the Heze City and the various streets at the same time.    

    

Chan quickly pulled the drone higher. On the screen, after a short while of attacks from the guards, the four gates had changed hands, the streets had been controlled by the guards, and City Guard wearing black armor had been driven to a corner, either squatting or sitting down, looking extremely obedient.    

    

A trace of understanding suddenly appeared in Li Yun's heart. It seemed that cultivators were more afraid of death and would easily yield to powerful forces.    

    

Li Yun thought back to what he understood and raised his head to smile at Chan, "It seems like we should go meet this Master of the Golden Heze."
