"Brother, let's offer two percent of our shares in the Myriad Realms Merchant Guild to directly wipe out the Frostbone Dragon clan. These guys dare to make a move against us, they must not know my capabilities."
Lin Zhan was taken aback, "Who is 'my capabilities'? How are they so awesome?"
The young Daoist stumbled back a couple of steps, bewildered, and said to Lin Zhan, "Brother, stay away from me. My ancestor specifically told me not to hang out with idiots."
Lin Zhan chuckled and quickly slung an arm around the young Daoist's shoulders, "It's okay, my ancestor also told me to hang out with idiots. Come on, quickly tell me all about this."
Ancestor Yan Di walked over and kicked the two, who were slinging arms around each other, away.
"I think you two are both idiots."
"That fat idiot," Ancestor Yan Di pointed at the young Daoist,
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw a little dumpling glaring at him with wide, angry eyes.
He immediately changed his tune, "That little fat guy, explain this to this old ancestor clearly, or else don't blame me for teaching you a lesson."
As Ancestor Yan Di spoke, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly: How great are the ancestors' beloved disciples? Why did they fall for such a morally bankrupt, fat as a ball, and utterly useless creature who has neither looks nor character?
The young Daoist rubbed his sore backside and got up to say,
"Ancestor, the Myriad Realms Merchant Guild is a trade association that my elder brother and I established. I'm usually the one in charge, so elder brother doesn't know about it."
"Alright, that's all I have to say..."
Ancestor Yan Di was waiting for him to continue, but this scoundrel told him he was finished. He clearly didn't respect his ancestor at all.
"No, no, Ancestor, please don't strike. I'll say it, I'll say it right away."
The young Daoist, seeing the elder clench his hands like fans, quickly conceded,
"Our Myriad Realms Merchant Guild's goods are now circulating throughout the myriad realms. Except for the God and Demon races, with whom we haven't established any trade, we have conducted numerous transactions with all other races. More than half of the races in the myriad realms and neutral races have established long-term trade relations with us."
Ancestor Yan Di nodded thoughtfully after listening.
"So you're just a bunch of middlemen. What's so surprising about that? Your Great Merchants are always doing this kind of work, except that those brats like Zi Qi operate under the guise of merchant caravans while engaging in robbery. Throughout the year, they rob more than they trade."
"You're not being honest at all, kid. How much can a middleman earn? You hired people to take out two Great Emperors, do you really think people are fools?"
The young Daoist was stunned, then said blankly, "How much money?"
"Ancestor, two percent of the caravan's shares, calculated in Lord-level crystal cores, is at least two to three million a day. Is that not money?"
"Two to three million?" Before the young Daoist could finish speaking.
The five little ones rushed over.
Xiao Ji said excitedly,
"Brother, brother, you don't need to find anyone else for this job, just leave it to your brother. I'll give you a discount, ten percent of the shares is enough. As long as you agree, we'll immediately let them know what it means to have heroes gather and bandits convene."
"It's just two Great Emperor-level Frostbone Dragons, is it? I'll contact my family right now, I'll wipe out the entire Frostbone Dragon clan. Just wait, I'll bring you their heads within three days."
Saying that, Xiao Ji took out a golden feather and intended to contact the old bandits in his family.
Ancestor Yan Di, with quick eyes and hands, kicked Xiao Ji away.
"Get lost, showing off everywhere you go. Besides, your family's old bandit has been busy with many great deeds in the depths of the void. How could you have the nerve to earn money from your own family?"
Then the Ancestor took out a jade talisman carved with the image of a giant god.
Before long, the figures of a mighty man and four giant beasts appeared in the jade talisman.
"Old Ancestor, what are your orders?"
Ancestor Yan Di glared and said, "Di Yao, you take Tie Dashan, Xuan Lao Si, Ying Long, and Xiao Kunpeng to the Frostbone Dragon clan. Annihilate them all, whether they're breathing or not, and bring back all their bones to refine into alloys."
Di Yao was slightly taken aback, "What's wrong, Ancestor? What did these lizard skeletons do to offend you so much that you're so furious?"
Di Yao knew that this old man was an absolute good-natured person and rarely got angry.
Of course, if he did get angry, very few people could withstand it.
After all, in ancient times, the most troublesome figures in Huaxia, like Xi Qi, Zhu Rong, Gong Gong, and Hou Tu, were all his descendants.
These troublemakers were all Great Emperors. The most important thing was that although these troublemakers were unreasonable, they were genuinely filial. As long as this ancestor gave an order, these troublemakers wouldn't hesitate to do anything.
Killing you would be the least of it; usually, they would wipe out entire clans.
The great war that erupted between the Human and God races in ancient times had these troublemakers as its main force. It was said that two Great Emperors of the God race were captured by these troublemakers and brought back to the Shennong clan to be refined into pills.
To put it in modern slang, this old man was a retired godfather. Even though he seemed to be quiet now, no one could afford to underestimate him.
If he got angry, he could easily call for backup and destroy you.
Wasn't Di Yao currently being called by the old man?
Ancestor Yan Di glared, "Just go when I tell you to, you brat. These useless lizard skeletons actually intended to use two Great Emperors to kill the Imperial Sons of our Human race. Damn itβ"
Lin Ya'er, hearing the commotion, also hurried to the young Daoist's side and performed a kowtow to Ancestor Yan Di.
"Thank you for fulfilling my wish, Old Ancestor. Please rest assured, Old Ancestor, I will study diligently under you and strive to carry on your legacy. Thank you, Old Ancestor."
Ancestor Yan Di was stunned. It's over, I acted too hastily...
