Invincible Divine Sword-Chapter 1251: I Even Brought the Seals
Chapter 1251: Chapter 1251: I Even Brought the Seals
"What’s going on?" Yang Xiaotian saw the Chamber of Commerce Supervision Bureau surrounding the Yang Family Chamber of Commerce, his brow furrowed as he asked the Sword Prison King.
Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian return, the Sword Prison King hurriedly said: "Young Master, they claim that our chamber has not completed all the formalities and won’t allow us to open for business the day after tomorrow."
Yang Xiaotian’s brow raised, his gaze falling onto the portly middle-aged man across from him.
It appeared that this man was none other than Mu Zijie, the head of the Chamber of Commerce Supervision Bureau.
"You’re Mu Zijie? Hand them our paperwork," Yang Xiaotian instructed the Sword Prison King.
The Sword Prison King handed over the previously processed paperwork to Mu Zijie.
"May I ask which formalities we have not completed?" inquired Yang Xiaotian.
However, Mu Zijie did not even glance at the documents passed by the Sword Prison King, but instead, with a sweep of his hand, threw all the paperwork onto the ground.
The documents scattered across the floor like shattered feathers.
Mu Zijie looked down at Yang Xiaotian with a condescending gaze: "What formalities haven’t been completed? If I say your formalities haven’t been completed, then they haven’t!"
Yang Xiaotian’s expression turned frosty: "What if we open for business on time two days from now?"
Mu Zijie was taken aback, then burst into laughter, a raspy sound that was uncomfortable to the ear: "Kid, you just try opening two days from now!"
"If you dare to open, I can assure you that a large contingent of the City Defense Army will be here to lock this place down, accusing you of illegal operations and arresting you, throwing you into Heavenly Dao City’s dungeon!"
"Once you’re in the dungeon, coming out won’t be so easy."
He continued, saying: "Decades ago, there was a Family Disciple who, thinking he had some backing, ignored my advice and insisted on opening for business. In the end, he was thrown into Heavenly Dao City’s dungeon and hasn’t come out to this day."
Having said his piece, he did not linger and left with a group of officials from the Chamber of Commerce Supervision Bureau.
Watching Mu Zijie’s ample posterior sway away, the Sword Prison King hesitantly asked: "Young Master, should we give Mu Zijie another generous ’opening day red envelope’?"
"There’s no need," Yang Xiaotian said, his expression as normal, and then instructed the Sword Prison King and a few others to collect the paperwork that was scattered all over the floor.
Afterward, he instructed the Sword Prison King and a few others to continue the preparation of the chamber, to open as scheduled.
Having returned, Mu Zijie, upon learning that Yang Xiaotian’s chamber was still being prepared and intended to open for business as planned, sneered coldly: "Kid, it seems you’re treating my words as the idle wind."
"Do you think I’m merely speaking idly?"
He then ordered his subordinates to contact the captain of the City Defense Army.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
During these two days, Yang Xiaotian went nowhere, toiling in his mansion to cultivate several Divine Bodies.
Two days later.
On the day the Yang Family Chamber of Commerce was to open, Yang Xiaotian, accompanied by his two masters, Emperor Fenlei and Myriad Dao Sword Venerable, headed to the chamber.
The opening day of the chamber naturally could not do without the presence of his two masters, Emperor Fenlei.
Since they had to host Heavenly Dao City Lord and Zhu Ye, Yang Xiaotian and the others arrived early.
The sky was just beginning to lighten.
By the time Yang Xiaotian and his companions arrived, the Sword Prison King and the others had already arranged everything perfectly.
As for what to serve Heavenly Dao City Lord and Zhu Ye later, Yang Xiaotian planned to use Primordial Life God Fruit.
A while later, as the sky brightened,
they saw Heavenly Dao City Lord and Zhu Ye approaching from afar.
The two of them didn’t bring any attendants.
Yang Xiaotian and his group saw the Heavenly Dao City Lord from a distance and went up to greet them.
First, the Heavenly Dao City Lord exchanged greetings with Emperor Fenlei, then turned to Yang Xiaotian with a happy smile, "Congratulations to Friend Yang on the grand opening of the chamber of commerce today, such a joyous occasion."
"We didn’t have any significant gifts to bring, so we could only present some trifle to Friend Yang."
Then the two presented the jade boxes.
They said with a smile, "Two strands of Sixty Million Year Spirit Medicine, wishing Friend Yang’s business prosperity and abundant wealth."
Upon hearing the Heavenly Dao City Lord and Zhu Ye’s congratulatory gifts were two strands of Sixty Million Year Spirit Medicine, Yang Xiaotian was taken aback and declined with a wave of his hand, "You two elders, this is too precious."
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Dao City Lord immediately expressed displeasure, "If Friend Yang refuses, then it would be looking down on us."
Seeing that the Heavenly Dao City Lord insisted, Yang Xiaotian had no choice but to accept the generous gifts and invited the Heavenly Dao City Lord into the chamber of commerce with a few of his master’s disciples.
After inviting them into the main hall, everyone took their seats.
Yang Xiaotian had the disciples of Sword Prison King serve the Primordial Life God Fruit to the Heavenly Dao City Lord.
Seeing the Primordial Life God Fruit, the eyes of both the Heavenly Dao City Lord brightened, and the Heavenly Dao City Lord laughed, "Honestly, ever since we found out Friend Yang had the Primordial Life Divine Tree, we’ve been craving for the Primordial Life God Fruit, thinking about when we could taste one."
Yang Xiaotian laughed, "Since the two elders like it, I still have quite a few of the Primordial Life God Fruit, and you can take some with you later."
Zhu Ye said with a laugh, "Then we won’t be polite."
While everyone in the main hall was engaging in pleasant conversations, at a distance, a large group of the City Defense Army was moving towards the chamber of commerce.
Mu Zijie’s subordinate said to the City Defense Army Captain, "Brother Deng, our chairman said that when you make a move, don’t be polite with the other side, just apprehend them all."
"Rest assured," said the City Defense Army Captain, "I’ve even brought the seal with me."
It was not a small number of City Defense Army troops that had arrived, amounting to a thousand men.
A thousand City Defense Army soldiers in heavy armor shook the surrounding streets with their movement.
The City Defense Army hadn’t yet reached the chamber of commerce’s gates when Yang Xiaotian, the Heavenly Dao City Lord, and others in the main hall heard the rumbling sound.
Soon, a thousand City Defense Army soldiers arrived at the gates of the chamber of commerce.
The City Defense Army Captain wasted no words and went straight to shout, "Seal off this area, everyone go in and capture everyone inside!" After saying that, he drew his sword and slashed the plaque on the chamber of commerce’s gate in half.
The plaque fell to the ground with a loud clang.
Inside the main hall, the Heavenly Dao City Lord and Zhu Ye all frowned.
Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to speak, he saw the City Defense Army Captain leading a large group of the City Defense Army rushing into the main hall.
Mu Zijie’s subordinate didn’t recognize the Heavenly Dao City Lord or Zhu Ye, and upon entering the main hall, he pointed at Yang Xiaotian seated in the hall and said to the City Defense Army Captain, "He’s the one who opened the chamber of commerce."
The City Defense Army Captain, who also didn’t notice the Heavenly Dao City Lord or Zhu Ye, followed the gesture and turned to Yang Xiaotian, saying coldly, "You’ve got some nerve, operating with incomplete procedures. Capture them all!"
Upon hearing this command, the City Defense Army surged towards Yang Xiaotian, Emperor Fenlei, Myriad Dao Sword Venerable, as well as the Heavenly Dao City Lord and Zhu Ye.
They were to be apprehended as ordered by their captain!
Sitting there and just having finished a Primordial Life God Fruit, which he found extremely delicious, the Heavenly Dao City Lord watched the oncoming City Defense Army with an infuriated expression turning his face green.
Zhu Ye’s face also turned an iron shade of blue.
"How audacious!" The Heavenly Dao City Lord roared furiously, his voice booming like thunder, reverberating throughout Heavenly Dao City.
He suddenly stood up, and all the approaching City Defense Army soldiers were sent flying by an overwhelming force.
