Chapter 276 Elder Shi Was Crying
“What? Iron Backed Bear? Gray Blood Pythons? And there are two of them? Are you sure?”
When Deacon Zhang of the Iron Blood Commerce Commerce heard the report of the fat man and the others, his eyes widened in shock. He could not believe his subordinate’s report at all.
“Yes, Deacon Zhang. We saw it with our own eyes. Besides these Demonic Beast corpses, there is also a huge pile of demon beast corpses piled up in the entire backyard,” the fat mansaid hurriedly.
“Piled up in the entire backyard? The backyard of the Ice Snow Shop is extremely large. It is for the sake of disposing of the Demonic Beast corpses…”
“If it can fill up the entire backyard, then the number of Demonic Beast corpses would be extremely large. This is really troublesome.”
Deacon Zhang also realized the seriousness of the matter. His expression became extremely solemn.
“Wait a moment. I will report this matter to Elder Shi. He is an expert at the Silver Rank Peak. He is a super genius in the clan. In the future, he might become the clan master…”
Elder Shi was here to take care of the expansion of the shop. He was here to pave the way for becoming the clan master and also to temper his heart. Thus, he had to report this matter to Elder Shi.
Deacon Zhang took a deep breath and sorted out his words. He hurriedly ran to the backyard and came to the door of a cultivation room. He waited silently.
“What is it?”
A cold voice came from the cultivation room. There was a strong dignity in the voice, and just this voice alone was enough to make Deacon Zhang kneel on the ground.
“Elder Shi, we have encountered a thorny matter. The matter is like this…”
Deacon Zhang began to tell the story respectfully, and he did not dare to hide anything
“Are you sure? I personally conducted an investigation in the Ice Snow Commerce Chamber. They don’t have any backers, so how could they get so many corpses?” A cold voice came from the chamber, followed by a haughty figure standing in front of Deacon Zhang, exuding a terrifying Spiritual Power fluctuation.
“Sir, my subordinates are very loyal, and they would never dare to speak nonsense about this matter. If you don’t believe me, you can interrogate them personally,” Deacon Zhang hurriedly said.
“Let’s go and take a look.”
Elder Shi, who was exuding a tyrannical aura, grabbed Deacon Zhang and his figure flashed rapidly. In an instant, they arrived at the commerce chamber’s main hall and saw the fat man and the others.
“Explain the entire sequence of events clearly. Immediately!” Elder Shi said coldly.
“Yes, Elder Shi!”
The few of them hurriedly knelt down and reported everything, including the intelligence report on Li Xuan’s small courtyard.
After listening to everyone’s report, a trace of doubt flashed through Elder Shi’s eyes as he frowned and said.
“We’ve already informed the various large factions. It’s impossible for any powerful factions to interfere in this matter. Could it be that the Ice Snow Commerce Chamber has recruited a perfect silver tier?”
Elder Shi carefully thought about it and felt that this possibility was very likely. This made him somewhat surprised.
However, when he thought about his own strength, a cold smile flashed across Elder Shi’s face. His tyrannical Spiritual Power was wantonly released as his eyes flashed with arrogance as he said.
“So what if they recruit a Silver Rank Peak? Today, I’ll let you all know that it’s just an ordinary Silver Rank Peak…”
“Today, I’ll let all of you know that there’s a huge gap between Silver Rank Peaks! i’ll let all of you know what a strong person is!” After Elder Shi finished speaking, his figure suddenly rushed out of the hall. In a flash, he left in an afterimage and headed straight for the area where Li Xuan was located.
After he left, only then did they heave a sigh of relief. They slowly stood up from their kneeling state and wiped off their cold sweat with lingering fear. “He’s too strong. Elder Shi’s power is becoming more and more terrifying. Facing Elder Shi makes me feel like I’m facing a huge mountain,” Fatty Wang said with a trembling voice.
“That’s right. I heard from my clansmen that Elder Shi has a very high chance of breaking through and being Half-Step to Gold Rank, becoming a super overlord of a region,” Deacon Zhang explained while wiping off his cold sweat.
“Half-Step to Gold Rank? If he’s Half-Step to Gold Rank, then the Shi family would be considered a strong family even in the Imperial City,” Fatty Wang said solemnly. “That’s right. So you guys have to work hard. As long as Elder Shi is around, no one would dare to provoke our Commerce Chamber,” Deacon Zhang said proudly.
“That’s right. However, that handsome youth is very likely to be at the Silver Rank Peak, which is the same rank as Elder Shi.”
“If both sides were to fight now, would Elder Shi be injured? After all, Elder Shi has yet to reach Half-Step to Gold Rank,” Fatty Wang said worriedly. “You’re thinking too much. Two years ago, in the competition for resources in the Imperial City, Elder Shi single-handedly fought against three Silver Rank Peak experts. In the end, he won the battle…”
“This also allowed the family’s reputation to reach its peak. No one would dare to easily stop the family from expanding. That’s why we were able to expand the commerce chamber so quickly…”
“Although the handsome young man you are talking about might be on the same level as Elder Shi, it has already been three years, so Elder Shi is even stronger. He will definitely be able to easily defeat that handsome young man in a one-on-one fight.” Deacon Zhang solemnly explained. “So Elder Shi has such a battle record. He is really amazing. It seems that Elder Shi will be back soon,” Fatty Wang said with a smile.
“That’s right. Just wait. I’ll be back soon.”
Bang! A muffled sound was heard at the door. Then, a bloody figure fell to the ground at the door of the shop and stood up shakily.
When the crowd saw this figure and saw his bruised and swollen face, they were stunned for a moment before their expressions changed drastically. “Elder Shi, what’s wrong? Are you injured?” “There’s a lot of blood on his nose. Quick, bring me the Healing Pills.” Deacon Zhang hurriedly roared into the shop.
“Wait… Wait a moment. Quickly go to Lord Li Xuan’s small courtyard and fix the main gate. Also, immediately send a message to the clan to deliver the only two Transcendence Fruits in the clan. Hurry!”
Elder Shi’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and his aura was extremely weak. In fact, his face was so swollen that it was bleeding profusely. However, he could not be bothered with such matters and immediately issued an order.
“Lord Li Xuan? Who is that?”
Everyone’s mind was a little muddled, and they were unable to react in time.
“It’s that handsome young man you spoke of. Hurry up and fix the gates. You must treat him respectfully. If you offend Lord Li Xuan, don’t even think about living.”
Elder Shi’s entire body was in excruciating pain, but he didn’t dare to slack off. Thus, he gave the order loudly.
“Yes, yes, yes. We’ll go and repair the door now. We’ll inform the clan to deliver the Transcendence Fruit.”
Everyone hurriedly listened to the order and began to busy themselves. Deacon Zhang went to inform the clan, while Fatty Wang brought his men to repair the door. The remaining servants hurriedly carried Elder Shi into the room and took out pills for the elder to consume.
After Deacon Zhang finished informing the clan, he hurriedly rushed over and saw Elder Shi lying on the ground with a bruised and swollen face.
From the looks of it, Elder Shi’s injuries had recovered quite a bit. However, his eyes were staring blankly at the roof. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
“Elder Shi, are you feeling better? I still have a Saint Healing Pill here. It will be of great help to your injuries.” Deacon Zhang took out a medicinal pill reluctantly and handed it over.
“There’s no need for that. My injuries aren’t too severe. Most of them are exterior wounds. The other party has held back. I just didn’t expect the other party to be so strong. You can leave.”
Elder Shi stared at the roof with a lifeless gaze. Tears were flowing from the corners of his eyes as if he had just experienced the most tragic battle of his life.
