The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO-Chapter 1845 - 1842: Ambush

Ye Qing had left. He then found other tracking dogs, but the other tracking dogs bypassed the Cheng family and chased in another direction.

"Could it have been a misunderstanding just now?" Ye Qing thought to himself as he followed behind the tracking dogs.

What he didn’t know was that the previous tracking dog had caught the scent of the Dragon God on Ling Feng, which made it behave so unusually. Ultimately, it was "commanded" by Ling Feng to turn and pounce at Ye Qing.

The people from the Storm Sect had been mistakenly led away by Ling Feng, and Hei Shi was temporarily left in Ling Feng’s Heavenly Spirit Stone Cave. By the next day, the airship of the Canglan Commerce was ready, and it seemed all had ended.

Inside the airship, Ling Feng and the Head of the Cheng Family sat opposite each other. For some reason, since the people from the Storm Sect left, he’d not spoken to Cheng Minxue, and even when they met on the airship, Cheng Minxue quickly turned away and left, which puzzled Ling Feng.

"This auction ended quite perfectly!" the Head of the Cheng Family said with a sigh: "Next, we shall return to our Cheng family planet, and by then, I’ll introduce you to other members of our Cheng family!"

Ling Feng smiled slightly: "Head of the Cheng Family, do you really think it’s over?"

"Oh? What do you mean by that?" The Head of the Cheng Family’s eyes sparkled as he asked.

Ling Feng took a sip of the tea in front of him and then said: "For the sake of a mere Avatar Embryo, the Elder of the Storm Sect didn’t hesitate to break the auction’s rules to attack Hei Shi, which shows that many people will resort to any means for profit!"

"The Soul Consoling Tree is in Uncle Cheng’s hands; others may not think much of it, but now that the Wordless Heavenly Scripture is in Xiaoxue’s hands, Uncle Cheng, do you think those major forces will accept this quietly?" Ling Feng said slowly: "An innocent man harbors a treasure, but it becomes a crime. Compared to the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, the Cheng family’s deterrent to other families is probably not that significant."

"Hahaha!" After Ling Feng’s voice fell, the Head of the Cheng Family laughed heartily: "Right, right, I didn’t expect you to realize the danger behind this, it’s good."

Ling Feng was taken aback, not expecting the Head of the Cheng Family to have already considered this. Indeed, the Head of the Cheng Family had been navigating the Ancient Ruins for so many years, he should have been wary of this issue long ago!

"Even so, we have no other choice!" After the laughter faded, a hint of helplessness appeared on the Head of the Cheng Family’s face: "The Wordless Heavenly Scripture ending up with the Cheng family was unexpected to me. I believe that some will be blinded by it and take action against our Cheng family and the Canglan Commerce, but I will make them realize that our Cheng family is not an existence to be trifled with!"

"To be honest, on the day the auction ended, I already informed the nearby branches of the Cheng family to dispatch experts for protection and surveillance!" the Head of the Cheng Family said with a smile: "Ling Feng, if someone intends to act against the Cheng family, it’s not a conspiracy, but an open scheme! As long as we are aware, we must also have the courage to face it!"

Ling Feng nodded: "By the way, if someone attacks, then the Canglan Commerce..."

"Our Cheng family is, after all, one of the five major commerce guilds of the Canglan Commerce, and Canglan Commerce will naturally be an ally of the Cheng family!" the Head of the Cheng Family said: "Of course, that’s not my last trump card, because my last trump card is you!"

Ling Feng’s eyes widened: "Uncle Cheng, what do you mean by this?"

The Head of the Cheng Family said solemnly: "I said, my last trump card is you! Should we encounter an insurmountable situation, I hope you can secretly take Xiaoxue away and let us hold them off."

Ling Feng took a deep breath: "Uncle Cheng, have you sensed something?"

The Head of the Cheng Family shook his head: "Each time the Wordless Heavenly Scripture appears, there are unusual bloodbaths, after all, this is the Forsaken Land, and no one knows what might happen tomorrow! That’s why those major forces, especially top experts, all hope to find a way out of the Ancient Ruins."

Ling Feng saw a trace of seriousness on the Head of the Cheng Family’s face and realized that the Wordless Heavenly Scripture was practically a ticking time bomb, and no one knew when it might explode! However, since the Head of the Cheng Family was aware, why didn’t he speak up at the time and was instead eager for Xiaoxue to get it?

When Ling Feng posed this question, the Head of the Cheng Family smiled wryly: "I am the Head of the Cheng Family, but I am also Xiaoxue’s father. I hope my daughter can one day walk out of the Ancient Ruins and experience a light and free life. Even though the road is arduous, I believe that as long as I am here, I can at least shield her from some of the storms!"

Ling Feng was silent, feeling deep parental love from the words of the Head of the Cheng Family. Perhaps Cheng Minxue also didn’t know what the Wordless Heavenly Scripture might bring to the Cheng family!

"Uncle Cheng, if it really comes to that, I will protect Xiaoxue!" Ling Feng said solemnly, taking a deep breath.

The Head of the Cheng Family patted Ling Feng’s shoulder: "I trust my judgement; I won’t misjudge someone! Of course, that’s the worst-case scenario. Although our Cheng family is a merchant family, our strength does not pale in comparison to a Super Power, so such a situation is unlikely to occur!"

...

At this moment, in another room of the airship, Dao Chengzi was joyfully playing with the token in his hand, his withered fingers lightly stroking the token, a look of intoxication on his face, like an old lecher seeing a beautiful woman.

"This is the key to my door of success!" Dao Chengzi’s eyes shone: "Once I return, I will seek out that mysterious force, I will have them help me become the leader of the Canglan Commerce, hahaha!"

Just as he was reveling in his own triumph, the airship suddenly jolted, and he nearly fell to the ground.

"What’s going on? What happened?" Dao Chengzi quickly put away the token and shouted loudly.

"It’s not good, Guild President, our airship has been attacked!" A member of the commerce guild rushed in anxiously: "Guild President, you must come and have a look."

"What’s the panic!" Dao Chengzi reprimanded: "We are the Canglan Commerce, one of the five major commerce guilds in the Ancient Ruins, who would be bold enough to oppose us?"

Despite his words, Dao Chengzi hurried to the control room. Once there, he gasped, for in front of his airship were three others, trapping the Canglan Commerce airship in the middle.

What made Dao Chengzi feel troubled were the marks on these three airships; they were the marks of the Emperor Seal Chamber of Commerce!

"These madmen dare to act against our Canglan Commerce?" Dao Chengzi muttered to himself, well aware of the notorious reputation of the Emperor Seal Chamber of Commerce.
