Although Qiyang City in the Western Region is located in the far east of the Western Region, adjacent to the Middle Tang Dynasty, Xixia, and Northern Jin Dynasty, it is owned by the Ximen family, one of the four sea dragon merchants.
Since the Ximen family is backed by the Dragon Clan of the West Sea, and its own strength is not weaker than that of the ordinary Dipin sect, even though this place is used as a city for its material turnover in the West Sea, all the forces have acquiesced!
After all, many forces coming and going here also need this place as a transit, and no one of the parties can trust to hand over such a city with cross-border teleportation to the other party. In the end, it was easier for them to never interfere in the disputes between the domestic forces of various countries, and always follow the rules
Ximen Longshang, who talks about business.
Similarly, the Ximen family also relied on Qiyang City to transport special resources purchased from various countries into Qiyang City, and then sold them to various forces in the Western Region in different categories.
Of course, the best part must be transported back to the old nest near the West Sea, and some of it must be supplied to the West Sea Dragon Palace.
Only in this way can we obtain shelter, maintain long-term peace and stability, and maintain the prosperity of our clan.
"The Ximen family has opened its doors to do business and has always had a good reputation. Why did it suddenly close the teleportation array this time? It's not like I didn't pay the teleportation fee. What's the reason for this?"
"Yes, I have something important to do on this trip. If not, why would I use such extravagant means as cross-border teleportation?"
"It only opens once every three months. I have been waiting for two months, and you are going to close it now. Do you really think that with the West Sea Dragon Clan on your back, you can become lawless?"
At this time, in Qiyang City, in the lobby of the courtyard where the Ximen family resides and where the city lord's palace is located, seven or eight men and women, old and young, with quite extraordinary auras, all opened their mouths with rather hesitant expressions.
Not only that, there are dozens of warriors with obscure auras, but every fluctuation is extremely shocking, sitting in the street shops, restaurants, and tea shops outside the city lord's palace.
Each of these people had a solemn look on their face, and sometimes the corners of their lips would move, but no sound came out. They were obviously communicating through spiritual consciousness.
Just looking at them, one by one, sometimes looking downcast, sometimes looking anxious, but also helpless, it is clear that the things they encountered have not been resolved.
"Everyone, please be patient!"
Sitting upright, a middle-aged man with a square face, about forty years old, pressed his hands helplessly and said with a wry smile, "It's not that I don't want to activate the teleportation formation, but it's because of the decree.
Even as a city lord, he cannot violate it.
You are all strong men in a famous town. Our Ximen family has always pursued the principle of being kind to others and having many friends and many paths in doing business. How could we deliberately offend you?
As for your transmission costs, I can make the decision and repay you three times, and please make it convenient for you."
As soon as this was said, everyone's expressions softened slightly, but they did not let go.
In fact, this is exactly the case. Unless there is an emergency, who would use that incredibly expensive cross-border transmission, which is a huge fortune.
"Brother Ximen, I have known you for a long time, and I know your temper. If there is no big deal, I will never close Fujing Tianmen!"
But when he saw a white-haired old man in the hall, he frowned and said, "But you have also seen that if there is no solution to the matter here, how can we delay the matter in vain?"
"What Mr. Chen said is true. If there was no emergency, why would I use cross-border teleportation?"
Everyone nodded, obviously this white-haired old man was not an unknown person, and what he said was quite pertinent.
Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite. Everyone knows this, but when it doesn’t happen to you, that’s another matter.
Ximen Feng has his own difficulties. What does it have to do with them? The transmission fee is not less than a spiritual stone. After waiting for so long, how can it be closed just by saying it is closed?
"You don't know something!"
Ximen Feng sighed secretly, cupped his hands and said, "Now that the ten-year auction is approaching, the venue for this auction will be Chang'an, the capital city of the Mid-Tang Dynasty."
Everyone had strange expressions on their faces and nodded one after another.
This matter has long been spread, but it was delayed for a while because of the Demonic Tribulation Rebellion. In fact, the outbreak of Demonic Rebellion in various places blocked the exchanges between many local forces, so the time was slightly delayed for a few months.
In fact, originally not many forces would participate, but this was the first big auction of Tongbao Bank after the beginning of the demonic tribulation, and it was in the Tang Dynasty, the strongest country among the five countries in the Central Plains.
Therefore, the grand occasion was unprecedented, and many major forces who received the news had actually sent people to Chang'an in advance!
And many of them, for this reason, wanted to prepare for the next chaos in the world, so they had to acquire a sum of resources in case of any eventuality.
"To tell you the truth, our Ximen family has been robbed this time. Several demons on the list of demon slayers actually escaped into the Western Region and robbed my Ximen family's caravan. Even the strong dragon clan members who were accompanying them escaped.
Even those who have not been spared are not spared!"
Ximen Feng smiled bitterly.
Although it is said that family scandals should not be made public, when the matter has reached this level, it is obvious that it cannot be concealed, and it is not considered a family scandal, but can only be regarded as a shame.
"What?"
"Those demons are so bold, they deserve to be damned!"
"It's such a troubled time. In a barren land like ours in the Western Region, these demons have come to cause trouble. It's really..."
Although everyone was filled with outrage, no one suggested a solution.
After all, even the Ximen Family and the Dragon Clan, the local snakes, have suffered disasters. Now they are helpless and can only close the teleportation array, which shows the seriousness of the matter.
But the important thing is, your Ximen family opened the door to do business, but you failed to protect the living creatures, but you have to delay the business of their customers, what is this?
Could it be that they suspect that the Demonic One is hiding among them?
Thinking of this, several people who had good relations with the Ximen family also looked a little unkind.
"Don't misunderstand me!"
Ximen Feng is such a smart person. He can read people's thoughts at a glance and immediately explained, "To be honest with you, if it was just my Ximen family, Nangong of the Southern Wei Dynasty and Beichen of the North Sea were both attacked, including Nangong.
Although the goods of the family were not damaged, most of the people's hands were damaged, and the Beichen family was completely wiped out.
If the Dongfang family had not been in charge of this trip and had made arrangements in advance to go to Chang'an, this trip would have been a lot of trouble.
The Jia family has also lost some of its manpower, and now Tongbao Trading Company has mobilized experts from all over to catch all the fallen demons in the Western Region.
Not only is the Fujing Tianmen in Qiyang City closed, but also the Hangu Pass at the other end is closed, and teleportation is no longer possible."
This time, everyone finally changed their colors.
Tongbao Trading Company seems to be relatively inconspicuous, but in the five Central Plains countries, in every corner of China, and even in the hinterland of the demon clan, the power it can mobilize is huge.
Obviously, these fallen demons hiding in the dark have completely angered this behemoth.
Although everyone is strong, they are all semi-saints, and they are also reputable beings in the Western Region. Don't dare to argue with Ximen Feng now, but if you want to break up with Tongbao Trading Company, you are definitely seeking death.
On the surface, Tongbao Trading Company is jointly run by the Sihai Dragon Clan and the Jia family, but in fact, it has trade relations with all major sects, and even many powerful people have paid their respects to it.
Among them, there are many outstanding semi-saints, and according to rumors, there are even saints!
"Don't worry, everyone, the time to close the teleportation array this time will definitely not be too long. After all, there are many warriors from the Western Regions who want to participate in this grand event. Tongbao Trading Company will never turn away guests.
It can be as short as half a month or as long as one month, and the Fujing Tianmen will definitely be reopened!"
Ximen Feng assured.
Everyone's expressions were different, but most of them looked ugly, but there was nothing they could do about it, so what else could they do after all that was said?
Is it possible that we can break up with the Ximen family and forcefully break into the Fujing Tianmen?
Watching everyone leave, Ximen Feng took a long breath, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, turned around and went to the back hall, where he saw a burly figure wearing black armor, sitting casually in the pavilion, holding a few people in his arms.
The dancer plays with her as she pleases.
There was also a group of singers dancing and playing music cautiously. The scene was chaotic and chaotic, because there were several mutilated corpses in several places in the courtyard, and the smell of blood was overwhelming.
"Brother Ao Kuang, the matter has been suppressed, but Fujing Tianmen must be opened within the month, otherwise trouble will occur!"
As the lord of a city, Ximen Feng actually bowed slightly humbly at this time, bowed his hands and reported in a low voice.
But judging by the meaning behind his words, this black-armored man is obviously a strong man from the Dragon Clan. There is nothing surprising about this!
"Hey, what can happen?"
Ao Kuang smiled, with a hint of ferocity, and bit off a dancer's arm, savoring it carefully, ignoring the dancer's shrill wail, but rather enjoying it, "Ximen Feng, you have to know your identity, Ximen
Everything in my family is given by my Dragon Clan, and I can naturally take it back.
If I ask you to close the Fu Jingtian Gate, why is there all this nonsense?"
"Yes!"
Ximen Feng nodded repeatedly and bowed hurriedly, as if he was following the opponent's lead.
Ao Kuang was very satisfied with Ximen Feng's attitude, but he didn't notice that when the other party lowered his head, there was a flash of anger and coldness in his eyes. Instead, he became more and more complacent, and said arrogantly: "This barren land in the Western Region is dry and windy, and I am very
If you don’t like it, when the Dragon Clan regains control of China in the future, we must change the river’s course and revitalize this place. Your Ximen family doesn’t have to guard such a ruined place every day.”
"The Dragon Clan moves the clouds and spreads rain, benefiting the people. They are the rightful rulers of China. This is destiny!"
Ximen Feng's head was lowered, his waist almost bent at ninety degrees, but his eyes were surprisingly cold.
Although it is true that he made his fortune relying on the Dragon Clan of the West Sea, the Dragon Traders of the Four Seas are now like slaves, and they still have the identity of the human race.
If the Dragon Clan were to become the masters of China again, wouldn't they be worse than slaves?
"Haha, okay, okay, I..."
Ao Kuang laughed wildly, his pupils suddenly shrank, and like a wild duck that had been strangled by the neck, he stood up in a daze, raised his neck, and lifted his feet off the ground.
"ah……"
With a scream, all the dancers fled. Ximen Feng was stunned on the spot, staring at the flying sky, unable to mobilize the power to protect the human form. In an instant, he transformed into a thousand-foot-long black dragon with one horn, floating towards the sky like a dead snake.
Half empty.
Through the light curtain of the city palace and the city defense array, I could see a thousand-foot-high ship looming in the clouds. A thin figure stood on the side of the ship, seemingly holding a purple fishing rod without a fishing line!
