Villain: Who said I came here to break off the engagement?

In fact, they should have thought of it long ago. How could the cunning and profit-seeking Putian Merchant Alliance spend money on a losing business?

They would rather pay a high price to settle in Yinyue City, so they must have some plans.

The Thirteenth City Lord wanted to trip them up and drive them out of Yinyue Island.

But he was afraid of the strong power of the Merchant Alliance and dared not take action.

This is one reason. The second reason is that the Putian Merchant Alliance has a good relationship with various wealthy families, and there are many interests between them.

So if the Thirteenth City Lord wants to move the Putian Merchant Alliance, it is equivalent to cutting off the financial path of the wealthy families and pushing the Putian Merchant Alliance and the wealthy families to the same front.

If the two of them join forces, the situation on Yinyue Island will be worrying.

How the local government operates, how to resolve obstacles and containment, and how to balance the connections of all parties are all things that need to be considered for the Putian Merchant Alliance.

So over the years, the situation on Yinyue Island has been stable, the people live and work in peace, and the business is booming.

The Putian Merchant Alliance did not want to make the relationship awkward, and the business dealings with the Thirteen City Lords were also close.

This was a clever move by the leaders of the Merchant Alliance. They divided a piece of the cake to stabilize the Thirteen City Lords, which not only saved a lot of trouble, but also sold a favor to them.

Such a peaceful and prosperous era lasted for many years.

Until recently, the relationship between Yinyue Island and the local sea tribe was somewhat unhappy, and conflicts often occurred, and even several times the two sides fought.

The Thirteen City Lords proposed that the two sides discuss, but in the end they parted unhappily.

Since then, the local sea tribe has prohibited human monks from going to sea to fish, and those who violated the law will be killed without mercy.

And those ordinary people who have not returned from the sea and do not know how to fly in the clouds have suffered.

They were attacked by the sea tribe, and they sank to the bottom of the sea with their boats.

When the Thirteen City Lords learned about this, they were extremely angry.

Those civilians who died were all people under their rule. Now they died in the hands of the sea tribe, which is equivalent to slapping them in the face.

But they were angry, but they did not take any coercive measures.

In their words, a few humble mortal lives were not worth the motive for starting a war.

However, the conflict did not subside.

If fishing and treasure hunting were prohibited, how could the economy of Silver Moon Island flow?

Cutting off people's financial resources was equivalent to killing their parents.

So the Putian Business Alliance, the thirteen city lords, and the wealthy families jointly discussed and decided to send strong men to the local sea clan territory to discuss.

At most, they would give up 10% of the profits, and everyone would cooperate and win together to make a fortune.

As a result, the strong men were besieged by a large number of sea clan strongmen as soon as they went to the East China Sea, and before they had time to explain their intentions, they suffered heavy casualties.

The surviving monks fled back to Silver Moon Island and brought back a piece of news.

The volcano that had been dormant for tens of millions of years under the East China Sea seemed to be about to erupt.

And around the volcano, there were many sea clan strongmen guarding to prevent outsiders from approaching.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar on Silver Moon Island and even the entire upper world.

No wonder the sea clan has been looking for trouble recently, and later forbade the human race and the spirit race to go fishing in the sea. It turned out that they wanted to conceal the secret of the upcoming eruption of the submarine volcano.

But why they concealed the eruption of the volcano is still unknown.

The monks in the upper world guessed that there was probably a treasure inside the volcano.

As for whether it was true or not, no one knows for the time being.

The horror of the submarine volcano eruption can only be understood by those who have seen it.

It is a real doomsday scene, and the erupted magma will boil the surrounding seawater.

From ancient times to the present, the East China Sea has erupted many volcanic eruptions, and the magma flowed into the sea and condensed to form the seabed.

Even Silver Moon Island is an island formed by condensation after the volcanic eruption.

…

Silver Moon Island, Hejiang City, He Clan.

“Father!”

In the imposing main hall, a young man burst into tears, crying so sadly and tragically, and his heart was broken.

Many members of the He family were sitting on the armchairs around them. Although they looked sad, there was not much sadness in their eyes.

The young man sitting on the chair and crying uncontrollably was the legitimate son of the He family master, He Chuan.

He was crying for his father, He Gaoming, who died in the East China Sea.

He Chuan had a weak body and fragile meridians since childhood, and his talent and understanding were mediocre.

For this reason, he suffered a lot of cold eyes and ridicule.

Whenever he was wronged, He Gaoming stood in front of him, took charge of him and vented his anger, and protected him.

He Gaoming treated him very well and did not ignore him just because he was not suitable for cultivation.

He was a conscientious and impeccable father.

He Chuan grew up under the protection of his father, the master of the family. As he grew older, he began to realize that although his father did not say it, he was actually quite disappointed that he was not suitable for cultivation.

Which father does not want his son to become a dragon?

Which of the other sons of the clan leaders in Hejiang City is not gifted?

He is the only exception.

This matter once became a knot in He Chuan's heart.

Until many years ago, he secretly mixed into the fleet going out to sea, encountered a tsunami on the way, and sank into the sea.

He Chuan thought he was dead, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Not only did he save his life, but he also got a great opportunity.

Since then, his physique has improved, and his talent and understanding have leaped a thousand feet. No matter how complicated the secret method and magical power are, he can use it freely in a moment.

Later, he was as if assisted by God, and he cultivated to the Xuanhuang realm before he was 300 years old.

This is because he got the opportunity too late, otherwise it would have taken even less time.

And his name has spread all over Yinyue Island.

Until today, when the bad news of He Gaoming's death came, He Chuan was extremely sad and heartbroken.

He Gaoming's brother, who is also He Chuan's uncle, took the opportunity to unite the elders and ascended to the position of the head of the family.

"Okay, Chuan'er, don't be too sad. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in the hands of God. You have to look at it more openly."

The current head of the family, He Gaocai, comforted him.

Although He Chuan stopped choking, he still cried.

He thought of the good times he had spent with his father in the past, and he was sad. Tears were like a river bursting its banks, and it was out of control.

After a long time, he stood up and said to He Gaocai: "Uncle, I am in a mess, my words and deeds are out of place, and I will leave first."

"Okay, you go."

He Chuan left the main hall and returned to the courtyard where he lived, sitting in front of the stone table in a daze.

After a long time, footsteps were heard outside the courtyard, and a beautiful figure walked in.

She saw that He Chuan's eyes were red and swollen, his face was full of tears, and he looked listless and haggard. She felt very distressed and called softly: "Brother He Chuan."

He Chuan looked up at the woman standing not far away, and on his ashen face, he forced a smile, "Yu Shu, why are you here? There should be many things waiting for you to deal with at Putian Chamber of Commerce."

"It's okay."

The woman named Liao Yu Shu shook her head, pursed her red lips, and asked softly: "Brother He Chuan, are you okay?"
