The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 588: Chapter 588: Something Happened

Jade Building!

”Drink!”

”Ha ha ha, exhilarating, truly exhilarating!”

”Come, let’s all drink together! Such fine wine is a rare sight, the taste really is different.”

A group of people were feasting and drinking heavily in the top-floor room of the Jade Building.

The Building Owner of the Jade Building, Cheng Yu, the chief alchemist of the Jade Building, Alchemist Leng Feng, and a group of senior members from the Jade Building were present.

Not just people from the Jade Building, but also from other commerce groups such as Dragon Soaring Commerce, Winter Sun Trading House, and particularly Golden Sparrow Commerce, whose chairman Bai Lan was personally there.

”Lord Mao Wei, I, Leng Feng, really owe you a debt of gratitude. Without your help, how could I have been released so quickly? By now, I’d probably still be locked up in the underground prison,” said Alchemist Leng Feng, holding up his cup with a flushed face and toasting to a dark-skinned, burly man with great respect.

”Alchemist Leng Feng is too polite. It was a trifle, not even worth mentioning,” the burly man, Mao Wei, waved his hand and also took up his cup, taking a modest sip.

Leng Feng chuckled, but his thoughts were not aligned with his words. Seeking Mao Wei’s help this time had cost him a hefty sum, well over a hundred million Spirit Stones, nearly depleting his life’s savings.

Of course, these words couldn’t be spoken out loud. If he offended Mao Wei, his troubles would be great.

The group continued to drink and laugh as they talked.

”That detestable Jing Yan must be having a rough time now, ha ha...” Bai Lan, the chairman of Golden Sparrow Commerce, said with a big laugh.

”He must be struggling. Everywhere outside, people are cursing him. It would be strange if he were not having trouble. I think it won’t be long before his name is removed from the Pill King List of rising stars!” Leng Feng said with a cold laugh.

”That slut Qing Ru, she’s really holding her breath, not even jumping out!” Bai Lan’s eyes flashed with a cold gleam.

”That slut Qing Ru is very cunning. She knows if she jumps out now, she would give us an opportunity. Right now, everyone outside is cursing Jing Yan, and if she were to make a move, heh heh, the wind would not be blowing against Jing Yan alone,” said a director from Dragon Soaring Commerce with a heh heh laugh.

”No hurry, no hurry! Once Jing Yan is ruined and discredited, the next one will be Youhai Commerce, and that little slut Qing Ru won’t be able to escape,” Cheng Yu said with her eyes narrowed.

”Right, let’s follow the plan! Slowly does it, this matter can’t be rushed. When the time comes, we’ll still need Lord Mao Wei to back us up,” the director from Dragon Soaring Commerce said, nodding slowly.

”Rest assured, when the time comes, I will definitely support you with my full strength in taking down Youhai Commerce. I refuse to believe that Youhai Commerce hasn’t done anything to violate the laws of Pill Country,” Mao Wei said in a deep voice.

”With Lord Mao Wei’s support, our acquisition of Youhai Commerce will surely be smooth,” Cheng Yu said, throwing Mao Wei a flirtatious look.

Mao Wei’s heart stirred, and a fire of lust blazed up within him.

”Lord Building Owner Cheng Yu, shall we go to your room to plan this out properly?” Mao Wei’s eyes burned with passion as he looked at Cheng Yu.

”Ha ha...”

”Lord Building Owner Cheng Yu, you and Lord Mao Wei, please feel free; we won’t interfere here!”

”Exactly! We’ll drink a bit more and then take our leave.”

”...”

A group of people wore smiles on their faces. They all knew what Mao Wei and Cheng Yu were about to do. They were well aware that the relationship between Cheng Yu and Mao Wei was something special. Otherwise, why would Mao Wei have helped Cheng Yu so many times?

Cheng Yu stood up and looked at Mao Wei, ”Lord Mao Wei, then let us move to my room to properly discuss our next steps?”

Cheng Yu wasn’t afraid of what the people present would say about her. Everyone was clear about the situation and there was no need to hide it.

”Good! Good!” Mao Wei glared, his eyes looking as if he wanted to devour Cheng Yu, and he was becoming a little impatient. He really wanted to deal with Cheng Yu right there and then.

”Bang!”

Just then, the door was violently kicked open.

”It’s not good! Something’s gone wrong!” A shadow dashed into the room, shouting loudly, ”Lord Building Owner, it’s not good, there’s been an incident!”

The person who came in was the Guard Captain of Jade Building.

Everyone in the room was drinking and having a good time when this sudden change occurred, and they all looked at the intruding figure with some displeasure.

”What happened?”

”Don’t you know I’m entertaining important guests?” Cheng Yu’s gaze turned cold as she swept it over the Guard Captain.

The Guard Captain seemed not to notice Cheng Yu’s displeasure and gestured frantically, ”The Guard... The Guard has arrived! The Guard is here, surrounding Jade Building completely!”

”The Guard? What Guard?” Cheng Yu’s brows rose in question.

”It’s Pill Spirit City’s Guard; they... they’ve encircled Jade Building. No one is allowed in or out!” the Guard Captain took a deep breath.

”Hmm?” Cheng Yu was startled.

Her gaze shifted to Mao Wei.

The others in the room also looked at Mao Wei in surprise.

Mao Wei was the Leader of the Guard in Pill Spirit City; what was happening now? Why had the Guard surrounded Jade Building?

At that moment, Mao Wei was obviously puzzled as well; he had no idea what had transpired.

Was this an action against Jade Building? But if that were the case, how could he, the Guard Leader, not be informed at all?

”Is that bunch of bastards trying to turn the world upside down?” Mao Wei was only slightly confused and immediately let out an angry growl.

”Lord Mao Wei, it’s... it’s Lord Yang Xiao himself who led the Guard here! Lord Yang Xiao is... is on his way up,” the Guard Captain reported, glancing at Mao Wei.

”What? Yang Xiao?”

”What does that guy Yang Xiao want to do?”

”Has he gone mad? Hmph, I’ll go out and see for myself; I want to see what he’s up to!” Upon hearing that it was Yang Xiao who had personally brought people over, Mao Wei’s gaze grew somber. Yang Xiao had a status in Pill Spirit City equal to his, and facing Yang Xiao, he had no advantage.

Hearing the conversation between the Guard Captain and Mao Wei, Cheng Yu let out a sigh of relief. Just now, she had almost thought Mao Wei was planning to target Jade Building. But now, hearing what Mao Wei said, it was clear that he had no knowledge of this matter.

In that case, there was probably no issue. Although Yang Xiao held a high position, after all, it was Mao Wei who was the Leader of the Guard.

The others in the room felt the same relief as Cheng Yu. With Mao Wei taking charge, there likely wouldn’t be any major issues.

Mao Wei was about to step out and see what was actually happening when several figures entered with heavy steps. Leading them was Yang Xiao, followed by several other high-ranking members of the Pill Spirit City Guard.

”Hehe... it sure is lively here!” Upon entering, Yang Xiao’s gaze swept over the room, and he smiled as he spoke.

”Yang Xiao, what are you trying to do?” Mao Wei angrily denounced.

”Lord Yang Xiao, we’re having a gathering here, what is the meaning of this... ” Cheng Yu squinted her narrow eyes at Yang Xiao.

”Building Owner Cheng Yu, it seems you’ve made a mistake today! You didn’t invite Lord Yang Xiao to our gathering; how can this be?” Bai Lan’s deep voice spoke slowly.
