Zhang Tianxue covered her mouth with a smile, glanced at Lin Chen, then asked Lin Chen to sit down, and then slowly explained the current situation.
Naturally, Zhang Tianxue had nothing to hide from Lin Chen.
According to her, in fact, in her hands, the Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence agency have always been working in parallel. As early as half a year ago, the intelligence stronghold had settled in the city to conduct intelligence spying and collection.
So even though those gangsters didn't know who was behind Zhenbao Pavilion, Zhang Tianxue already knew it.
"Eternal Pavilion?"
Even Lin Chen has heard of this chamber of commerce. It can be seen that it is very powerful and has a very high status in the Eastern Territory. It is one of the top five chambers of commerce in the Eastern Territory, and its tentacles can reach all over the nine regions.
And Gengu Pavilion dares to use the word "Eternal Ancient", which is indeed very ambitious. It is said that the big boss behind Gengu Pavilion is an extremely ancient force with extremely profound foundation!
"As a long-established chamber of commerce, Gengu Pavilion also has a very large say in the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance. Their main business covers almost all categories. They are a very comprehensive chamber of commerce!" Zhang Tianxue said.
Her eyes were full of yearning and she had a desire to challenge. After all, what she wanted was such a giant chamber of commerce!
"Why would such a giant attack us?" Lin Chen was puzzled. ??
"It's not the Eternal Pavilion, it's the Zhenbao Pavilion," Zhang Tianxue emphasized. "The Zhenbao Pavilion is backed by the Eternal Pavilion. It was vacated by the beloved grandson of an elder in the Eternal Pavilion. It didn't take long, but it relied on the resources of the Eternal Pavilion.
,fast development."
"However, the means of development are not on the table. Instead of relying on the business channels of Gengu Pavilion, they directly suppressed other chambers of commerce and squeezed the sales space. It seems that they are planning to round up the low-end market!" Zhang Tianxue snorted coldly.
The ancient pavilion is tall and high-end, and the goods inside are all high-end goods. Most of the people who patronize it are warriors who know the sky and above.
But in this world, the largest number of warriors are those below Zhikong. These people cannot afford such high-end spiritual treasures, but the advantage is that their numbers are extremely large.
Even if you buy low-end goods, the profit is not big, but when you put them together, you can get a huge amount of spiritual crystals.
Of course Gengu Pavilion will not let it go.
There are several smaller chambers of commerce under his command competing in this market, and now, the market share has basically stabilized.
The appearance of the Treasure Pavilion obviously does not belong to the chamber of commerce system established by Gengu Pavilion itself, but is the private property of the elder.
It borrowed the name of Gengu Pavilion, but did not borrow the market share of Gengu Pavilion.
So, I can only grab it!
The method of grabbing is also simple and direct. Don't even think about opening the same type of chamber of commerce. They will all make way for the Treasure Pavilion!
Not giving way?
Then use all kinds of cruel methods to greet them, steal customers, cut off supply, even rob caravans, and kill people. After all, it is backed by Eternal Pavilion!
Small chambers of commerce are inherently weak in strength. If they really dare to confront Gengu Pavilion, they will most likely give in in the end and either give up the city's market or be annexed at a low price.
And now, it is the turn of the Qiankun Jiuding Chamber of Commerce.
Zhenbao Pavilion became even more unscrupulous when it came to this kind of foreign idiot. It found some gangsters and directly cut off Qiankun Jiuding's financial path. Not a single customer came to visit, so how could it continue to open?
Qiankun Jiuding will either take the initiative to close down, or it will be forced to close down.
"It seems that normal business competition is no longer possible to gain a foothold," Lin Chen said.
"If there is competition within the rules, we are not afraid of anything, but this kind of off-the-table tricks are really too much. After all, that is their territory!"
"Of course, in fact, that branch is just an anchor point. It is used to cast a net. There is a difference between it and not, so whether it makes money or not is not actually that important. Even if it goes with the other party's wishes and transfers the benefits, as long as it can
It’s okay to keep the name of Qiankun Jiuding,” Zhang Tianxue said with a smile.
She doesn't care about the profits and losses of this store, and it doesn't matter if she loses money.
The layout is indeed no longer comparable to that of the little girl in the past.
Of course, this is what she sees from a high level, and she cannot tell Shopkeeper Hu and others explicitly. They still need to plan for the development of the chamber of commerce.
"You have really changed a lot," Lin Chen said with a smile.
Zhang Tianxue tilted her chin slightly proudly, but immediately looked at Lin Chen with some apprehension and said, "Do you prefer me like me before, stupid, silly, stupid..."
"No, you are very charming now!" Lin Chen smiled.
Zhang Tianxue smiled sweetly and continued, "So, you don't have to go too far. Just ensure that the store can continue to open. It's best to limit the conflict with Zhenbao Pavilion."
"After all, Gengu Pavilion is very powerful. If you want to move around the Eastern Region, offending them is not a good thing!"
In the past, asking Lin Chen to take charge of the situation was just acting like a spoiled brat, but when it came down to it, Zhang Tianxue was naturally worried about Lin Chen's safety.
"Then it's up to them. If they want to bully others, they have to be prepared to be bullied!" Lin Chen snorted softly.
"Then do as you like," Zhang Tianxue said with a smile and said no more.
Then this matter will be settled for now, and Lin Chen will make his own decision on the rest.
"By the way, why did you arrange the Eastern Region?" Lin Chen asked.
Logically speaking, there is no need for Qiankun Jiuding to rush into the Eastern Territory. The market here is already saturated, and it is difficult for foreign chambers of commerce to gain a foothold. Even without the targeting of Zhenbao Pavilion, they may only be able to maintain their position.
"First of all, I really want to come to this large area with the second most prosperous chamber of commerce to test the waters and prepare for entering the central area in the future. It can be regarded as an experiment."
"Secondly, you have something I'm more concerned about, and gathering relevant information is the real purpose," Zhang Tianxue said with a smile.
"What's here?" Lin Chen asked doubtfully.
"Have you heard of the Twelve Bronze Coffins?" Zhang Tianxue asked.
Twelve bronze coffins!
Lin Chen frowned, instinctively thinking of the copper coffin obtained from Dingjun Mountain, and couldn't help but change his color slightly at this moment.
"It seems you know something too," Zhang Tianxue said with a smile, seeing the change in Lin Chen's expression.
Lin Chen shook his head, "I just encountered a strange copper coffin, but I don't know if it is related to the twelve copper coffins you mentioned."
"Please tell me in detail first," Lin Chen said.
Zhang Tianxue was serious and told the information she knew in detail. Lin Chen was shocked when he heard it. He didn't expect Zhang Tianxue to have come into contact with something of this level!
The Twelve Bronze Coffins originated from a shipment the Chamber of Commerce received from Shiwandashan a few years ago. It was an earthen jar and looked very ordinary.
However, there were some special runes painted on the surface, which seemed to contain some kind of power, and it was indeed very old, so it was sold for a certain price.
At that time, no one thought there was anything special about the jar. The Chamber of Commerce collected it because they wanted to put it on a higher platform so that more knowledgeable people could see it and perhaps be able to figure it out and sell it at a good price.
But then, an accident occurred. The warehouse where the goods were stored was attacked. Although most of the gangsters were eventually killed, the chamber of commerce also suffered considerable losses.
Although it seems now that the losses at that time were only low-end goods, it did give Zhang Tianxue a big blow at the time, and he later strengthened the defense of various warehouses.
After that attack, the jar was not taken away. It was so inconspicuous that even the gangsters looked down upon it.
Finally, it was found among the dead, soaked in blood and mud.
But after that, some changes occurred in the jar, new runes appeared, and soon, the items were delivered to Zhang Tianxue.
As a result, Zhang Tianxue had a dream that night
The scene of twelve copper coffins suppressing the heaven and earth is extremely terrifying, and each of those copper coffins is pulled by a chain, and at the end of the chain is a person.
The man's clothes were in tatters, and there were twelve chains hanging on his shoulders. His entire shoulder was rotten, and blood was constantly flowing.
Such a scene made Zhang Tianxue's heart tremble.
But the road ahead became more and more rugged, and the man could no longer pull him. It was difficult for him to move forward. Finally, the world suddenly changed, the chains cracked, and the twelve copper coffins were scattered.
The man roared wildly, chased him away, and finally fell to the ground.
"This..." Lin Chen felt horrified when he heard it. That jar was too weird. Besides, who was that person? He was dragging twelve copper coffins!
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? It's too dangerous!" Lin Chen said. Being exposed to such weird things rashly could be a disaster for Zhang Tianxue if something unexpected happened!
"I didn't know it at the time, but later there was no accident, so I stopped talking about it," Zhang Tianxue said, then snorted, "Besides, it's not like I didn't talk about it, it's because someone didn't even give me a chance to chat."
"Ahem," Lin Chen coughed, "I'm not very busy."
"Yes, I was so busy that I ended up in Su Ruoxi's arms." Zhang Tianxue hummed twice.
She did not hide her jealousy. After all, she was the first person to express her love to Lin Chen in person. Her feelings had already been made clear and there was nothing to hide.
Lin Chen really wanted to vomit blood. This matter was brought up by Zhang Tianxue. The embarrassment made him want to find a way to get in, so he could only forcefully change the subject and said, "Then you have traced the traces of the twelve copper coffins?"
"Well", Zhang Tianxue looked at Lin Chen funny, and let Lin Chen go, saying, "After that, I often dreamed, and some specific scenes appeared in my dreams. I guess it was related to the location of the copper coffin.
.”
"I secretly sent people to investigate and collect clues related to the scenes in the dream. After combining them, I gradually deciphered the meaning."
"It should be a certain coordinate!"
"In the Eastern Region?" Lin Chen's eyes flashed.
"Yes, it is in the Eastern Region, but the specific location cannot be determined yet. We need to investigate further, but we already have clues. I believe we won't have to wait too long!" Zhang Tianxue said with a smile.
"Can you still simulate those copper coffins you saw?" Lin Chen asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Tianxue nodded, activated his profound energy, and simulated the shape of twelve copper coffins in front of him.
Lin Chen's pupils shrank.
One of them was indeed similar to the one he found in Dingjun Mountain. The difference may be that Zhang Tianxue was unable to completely restore the shape of the copper coffin.
After all, she only saw vague dream images.
"Bai Shu, it seems that our previous guess was correct. There is more than one copper coffin, but why are there twelve?" Lin Chen asked.
Only Bai Shu knows how many hosts there were in the past.
"There must be more than twelve hosts. Except for those who died quickly or were simply killed by the goddess, there are more than twelve people left." Bai Shu shook his head.
"What about those at a high level, such as those who ask God or above!" Lin Chen asked in a deep voice.
Bai Shu frowned slightly. She recalled it, and then her pupils shrank. "Including Gu Ting, there are indeed almost twelve of them. Gu Ting's strength ranks among the middle and lower among them!"
Is this really so?
Lin Chen's heart couldn't help but beat violently a few times, and a sense of terror lingered in his heart.
Someone, a terrifying existence, is deliberately collecting former holders!
Who on earth dares to do such a thing? Who can actually do such a thing!
But there is no doubt that the other party knows its existence!
"Lin Chen, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Tianxue asked worriedly.
"I'm fine." Lin Chen shook his head and said
Zhang Tianxue wanted to continue talking.
However, what Zhang Tianxue knew was limited, and she had already explained everything clearly. The reason why she wanted to find the copper coffin was because she felt that there might be great fortune in it, which would be helpful to Lin Chen!
She didn't know exactly what the copper coffin represented.
He is also brave enough!
"Did I do something wrong?" Zhang Tianxue finally asked with some anxiety. After all, Lin Chen's face didn't look good.
Lin Chen shook his head and said seriously, "You did a great job. Thanks to you, a mystery in my heart finally has an answer!"
"Really!" Zhang Tianxue suddenly became happy, his eyes curved like crescent moons, making the room a little brighter.
She was really happy that she was finally able to help Lin Chen. This was what she had always wanted to do!
Lin Chen looked serious and warned, "From now on, don't worry about this matter anymore. I'm afraid there is great danger here and you will be involved!"
Zhang Tianxue shook his head, "Since this is useful to you, I won't stop. Moreover, I will always dream of those scenes. Maybe I can't stop if I want to!"
Lin Chen was startled and his eyes darkened slightly.
Indeed, stopping hastily may be dangerous.
Damn it, what is that jar? Is it related to the coffin puller Zhang Tianxue saw in his dream? He wanted Zhang Tianxue to assemble the twelve copper coffins again!
But what is the purpose of collecting all the copper coffins?
On the copper coffin, the ancient word "death" is sealed. Is it to kill the people in the copper coffin, or not to allow them to resurrect?
The shadow sitting on the copper coffin is something, the undead in the coffin.
Or the coffin puller?
Lin Chen suddenly had countless thoughts and threads in his mind, and he couldn't find the answer at all!
"It seems that the Eastern Region group is quite busy!" Finally, Lin Chen sighed and suppressed the complicated thoughts for the time being.
Let’s do it step by step.
"Anyway, you must be extremely careful!" Lin Chen said.
"Yes, I can," Zhang Tianxue said with a smile.
"Okay, let's stop talking here first. I think the trouble from Zhenbao Pavilion will come to your door soon. I'll go deal with it." Lin Chen stood up.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Tianxue nodded, and then a mischievous smile appeared in his eyes, and he whispered in a soft voice, "If you do well, I will reward you!"
As he spoke, the tip of his nose made a sound of "Hmm~" and he stretched his waist lazily.
Oops, whether Lin Chen is looking at him or not, he can't look away... He really can't look away, good guy, his clothes are about to be torn.
Seeing Lin Chen like this, Zhang Tianxue's cheeks turned red and he quickly closed the teleportation array talisman.
Obviously, it was her first time to tease someone like this. She was really shy and lost the battle first.
"Don't do such things if you are so thin-skinned!" Lin Chen shook his head and laughed.
"Ah, my Tianxue, it's so great. I understand. I know that Tianxue has grown so much and put in so much effort. From now on, our Chenxue Party will hold our heads high and hold our chest high!" Bai Shu cheered.
.
With this announcement, the Chenxue Party will clear away the gloom and will rise!
Chongchong's ten heads were all speechless, "Aren't you the same in other parties? Are you tired of playing with yourself?"
"I like it, I am willing, I want you to be a widower!" Bai Shu shouted with his hands on his hips, and then he laughed and said, "Then you can play too, you have ten heads, I will count your ten votes, which pair do you want?"
"..."
Lin Chen still ignored the old girl's girlishness, but outside the door, shopkeeper Hu hurried over.
His face was full of panic.
Well, what a coincidence, let Dongyu experience the ruthless style!
