Chapter 813 Qian Wanguan
s Capability
After battling for two hours, half the Devil Legion had perished while the remaining thousands of people had all surrendered. A small portion of the weaker martial artists, wives, and children in the nearby islands was killed while the rest had surrendered as well. Mo Tian had been killed by Situ Nu and another peak-stage Heaven Monarch from the Situ Clan.
The result of surrendering was becoming slaves. Since the Situ Clan had joined in the battle, how was Situ Ao going to explain to the elder hall if they didn’t obtain any benefits? The secret room in Devil Island had been found, and the huge wealth that was gathered by the Devil Legion over a hundred thousand years of operation had all been plundered by the Situ Clan. Feng Buxi and the others were all extremely envious, but the Green Bird Merchant Association didn’t dare to speak a single word of nonsense as they were not going to have a share in this.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the slaves were all gathered and sent to the Situ Island which was west of the Gods Bestow Island. That place was one of the Situ Clan’s businesses and was similar to the Sky Thunder Island. It required large quantities of slaves to go into the deep sea and dig the mineral veins for the Situ Clan.
The Heaven Fate Ship departed again, but it didn’t return to Gods Bestow Island but went to Luminous Star Island. Situ Nu left behind 3000 experts along with the members of the Green Bird Merchant Association, and they were prepared to eradicate the Luminous Star Legion and also the plunder their large wealth.
This time, the Situ Clan wasn’t going to take everything from themselves and had settled to split equally with Feng Buxi who immediately agreed. This time, the merchant association’s Heaven Fate Ship was intercepted. It had caused their reputation to fall to the bottom. After eradicating the four bandit legions, they had restored their prestige and set deterrence to the people of Sin Island.
The Luminous Star Legion had sent out 10,000 Heaven Monarchs which half had been killed while the rest were turned into soul slaves. There weren’t many remaining experts on the island, which was around 5000 Heaven Monarchs.


Qian Wanguan proposed a plan for the surrendered Luminous Star Legion’s member to send the message back, saying that the battle went smoothly, and they had successfully eliminated the Green Bird Merchant Association. Jiang Yi and the others but Xue Xiong had unfortunately perished in battle.
One day later, when the Heaven Fate Ship arrived nearby the Luminous Star Island, he allowed the remnants of the Luminous Star Legion’s bandits to bring thousands of Green Bird Merchant Association’s Heaven Monarchs to infiltrate Luminous Star Island. Once they got onto the island, they immediately executed the plan and launched a sneak assault to eliminate the chief and the various commanders of the Luminous Star Legion, making the battle instantly effortless.
The battle ended in just one hour as half the people had surrendered. When clearing up and checking the belongings on the battlefield, Feng Buxi sighed silently at the wealth of the bandit legions. A single bandit legion was actually much wealthier than their merchant association.
When he thought about the various merchant associations having to offer gifts to the major clans in the cities and the monthly tributes to the bandit legions while the bandit legions didn’t have to offer any tributes and could even plunder from time to time. After accumulating tens of thousands of years, their wealth must definitely be impressive.
Since there was money to be made, they naturally acted with more enthusiasm!
The Heaven Fate Ship departed again and headed for Scorching Sun Island, but it was regretful. Halfway through the journey, Situ Nu sent a message saying that they had taken down the Scorching Sun Island and Waning Moon Island. The military deterrence of the Situ Clan was just too powerful, and when the bandit legions saw the members of the Situ Clan, they didn’t even have any battle intent and had either surrendered or were killed when they were trying to flee.
When the Heaven Fate Ship was starting its return journey, Situ Yixiao and Qian Wanguan had been staying on the ship. Jiang Yi was still in deep sleep, and the battle was already in the final phase. The two of them simply had to listen to the reports of the battles.
Of course… the two of them stayed behind for an even deeper intention. In fact, allowing the Green Bird Merchant Association to join in the assault of the Luminous Star Island was actually an idea proposed by Qian Wanguan. Otherwise, Situ Nu and his men were already enough to eradicate the three bandit legions with ease, and there wasn’t a need to split the plunders with the Green Bird Merchant Association.
Situ Yixiao and Qian Wanguan would chat with Feng Buxi whenever they had free time. Qian Wanguan had subtly offered many wonderful commerce ideas which allowed Feng Buxi to have an eye-opener and made him exceptionally impressed. If Qian Wanguan wasn’t working for the Situ Clan, Feng Buxi would have done everything he could to recruit Qian Wanguan.
Jiang Yi regained consciousness on the fifth day, but he was still rather weak. He had chatted with Zhan Wushuang and Huangfu Taotian for a moment before he went back into a deep sleep, making Zhan Wushuang’s heart feeling this guilty sensation.


Two days later, Jiang Yi woke up again; and this time, he was much better. After having a conversation with Zhan Wushuang and Huangfu Taotian, he looked around with suspicions and asked,
Where is Wanguan? Why don’t I see him around?


He is on the ship.

Huangfu Taotian raised his thumb and said,
Jiang Yi, your little brother is truly a talent. He had actually tricked Feng Buxi in just a few days. After the Green Bird Merchant Association returned this time, it seems like they will be changing their name into Situ Merchant Association.


What?

Jiang Yi was slightly astonished as he asked curiously,
What is the situation?


I do not know the exact details either.

Huangfu Taotian brought out a pot of tea and poured a cup for Jiang Yi before replying,
In any case, Yixiao and Wanguan had been having idle chats with Old Man Feng for the past few days. It seems like Wanguan had proposed many business ideas which shocked Old Man Feng while Situ Yixiao was also duping him by the side. In the end, Old Man Feng went crazy and proposed for the Green Bird Merchant Association to be incorporated into the Situ Clan while he would become an elder of the Situ Clan and manage the Green Bird Merchant Association together with Wanguan…


That fellow is so capable?

Jiang Yi was greatly surprised. He knew clearly that Qian Wanguan had an incredible capability in business, but to trick the veteran Feng Buxi—who had been in the merchant business for his entire life—to join the Situ Clan? This was just too shocking, right?
It was a known fact that the Green Bird Merchant Association didn’t belong to Feng Buxi alone as it involved many of the various clans’ profit in it. If Feng Buxi acted so firmly, wasn’t he afraid the Green Bird Merchant Association might disintegrate?


Most importantly… if the Green Bird Merchant Association was incorporated into Situ Clan, Feng Buxi would be a member of the Situ Clan. If the Situ Clan was conning him and annexed the entire Green Bird Merchant Association, he would be at wit’s end and have no choice but to admit his own bad luck. This risk was simply too huge.
However, the rumors that Huangfu Taotian heard might not be accurate. During these few days, Situ Yixiao and Qian Wanguan only came back to see Jiang Yi for a single time; and they were in a rush. They didn’t say before they left, and Jiang Yi couldn’t ask too much either.
Subsequently, Qian Wanguan and Situ Yixiao were vanishing all the time. After they came over and saw the Jiang Yi was recovering well, they had a short conversation and left in a hurry again. They didn’t reappear anymore until they reached Gods Bestow City.
Gods Bestow City was already in an uproar as the incidents of the Gods Bestow Sea had already been spread throughout Gods Bestow Tribe. Countless bandit legions were truly frightened as they thought the four major clans were going to clean up all the bandit legions.
Two days ago, Situ Ao had released an announcement saying that among the hostages, there were two important descendants from the Situ Clan. Furthermore, after investigation, they realized that the Devil Legion had spies from East Imperial Continent. Hence, they sent some people to eradicate them.
It was obvious that no one believed this explanation. There was another information that was being circulated, saying that there were indeed two special individuals among the hostages, and they were Jiang Yi’s friends. Situ Ao was sending his troops out, purely for the sake of Jiang Yi.
This information was obviously much more convincing than the announcement that the Situ Clan gave.
People in Gods Bestow City regarded Jiang Yi with even more respect now as he was able to make Situ Ao send out half of the Situ Clan’s experts. Although those three old fellows didn’t make a move, it was enough to prove the status in Situ Ao’s heart.
After Jiang Yi and the others returned to the Situ Clan, Situ Ao had led many of the elders from the Situ Clan to personally welcome him, further proving this point.
Soon after, the Green Bird Merchant Association made an announcement that shocked the people in the city even more. Feng Buxi had already finished his discussions with Situ Yixiao and Qian Wanguan and had also successfully convinced the thirteen most important elders of the Green Bird Merchant Association. Tomorrow would be the day the Green Bird Merchant Association would officially be joining the Situ Clan.


After this news got out, the three other major clans were shaken. The Green Bird Merchant Association was one of the three largest merchant associations. The merchant associations might not be powerful in military strength when compared to the 13 Clans, but their business operating ability was among the top five in Gods Bestow Tribe. If the Green Bird Merchant Association was to join the Situ Clan, then the Situ Clan’s overall influence would be greatly boosted. Their business operating ability would be able to completely dominate the whole Gods Bestow Tribe!
On the third day, the Situ Clan let out another information which caused countless people to be taken aback. Situ Ao pressured all 108 elders of the Situ Clan and appointed Qian Wanguan as the Situ Clan’s Merchant Hall Master, allowing him to manage all of Situ Clan’s business affairs.
