Chapter 502: 469
“Ever since you recalled your Sea Race avatar, our connection with the sea territories has become difficult. Luo, to maintain the trade, had to step in with Tian Yang, and thus they are hardly present at the gang!”, Xu Yiren said.
Luo is indeed Zhang Tianluo, she has a trace of Blue scale clan bloodline, so she can barely communicate with the Sea Race.
Tian Yang is Xu Tianyang, the second child of Zhang Tianluo and Xu Mu.
“I fear someone might have sabotaged us from within!”, Xu Mu suspected with a slight frown.
He had initially established numerous connections, with a win-win intention, even without his avatar, normal operations should not be an issue.
But now they’re struggling, nobody would believe there is no issue there.
“Did you find out anything?”, Xu Mu asked.
“We know that it’s related to the Four Seas Immortal Palace, but the other party is too strong, we didn’t dare to investigate too much!”, Xu Yiren said, her words slightly elusive.
If it’s related to the Four Seas Immortal Palace, then the Palace of Pure Heart must be involved.
Xu Mu’s connection to the Palace of Pure Heart is known by Xu Yiren. The two sides are on the same side, without Xu Mu’s involvement, the partnership would not have been established.
This trade route is a lifeline for the Whale Sea Gang, they certainly would not leak this information. The news about the involvement of the Four Seas Immortal Palace undeniably indicates a problem with the Palace of Pure Heart.
Given the relationship of the Palace of Pure Heart and Xu Mu, she couldn’t handle it and had to rely on Zhang Tianluo to barely maintain the trade route, preventing it from completely breaking down.
It’s easy to break connections, but it’s difficult to reconnect.
Of course, even if she wanted to manage it, she wouldn’t have the power to do so.
The strength of Palace of Pure Heart is undeniably stronger than the Whale Sea Gang, let alone the even stronger Four Seas Immortal Palace.
Furthermore, there’s another reason. Her two daughters with Zhang Tianluo, the tenth Tianmei, the Eleventh Xu Tianlei, and her son Xu Tianzhen, are all in the Palace of Pure Heart, and she can’t afford to cause a rift.
As for Tian Yang, only because he has Sea Race bloodline that he didn’t go and had to stay behind.
Although Xu Tianlei also has Sea Race bloodline, Xu Mu used magic to hide it initially, so no need to worry.
“Send a message to Luo and ask her and the others to come back. Dealing with the Sea Race could be dangerous without any underlying interests,”
Xu Mu doesn’t want his wife and children to take unnecessary risks for the sake of resources.
Moreover, there is no need to continue maintaining this route.
If the Palace of Pure Heart encounters problems, even if they can trade for resources with the Sea Race, it will be hard for the Whale Sea Gang to sell them at a high price. If they try to build a new network, the risk will be even greater.
One can only eat as much as they can handle. Without the support of a Nascent Soul Stage, the Whale Sea Gang couldn’t devour this big piece of cake.
However, when Lu Jingkong integrates the two forces, this trading route may start operating again.
As long as there are benefits, they wouldn’t worry about the Sea Race not biting the bait.
But to make the cake bigger, the key is the force in the Cangming Sea territory.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
After all, Human Clan cultivators account for seventy percent in the Cangming Sea area and all kinds of resources are concentrated there.
“Okay!”
Although Xu Yiren was a bit reluctant, she could only agree.
She believed that Xu Mu wouldn’t harm her.
“Now that the serious matters are taken care of, aren’t we going to…”
“The children are still around…umm…”
…
Xu Mu waited for half a month before Xu Yiren and Xu Tianyang hastily returned.
“Father!”
Xu Tianyang said respectfully.
Perhaps because he has been dealing with matters with Xu Yiren all the time, Xu Tianyang, despite being just over a decade older than Xu Tiangu and Xu Tianmei, seemed much more mature and his cultivation had already reached the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Being at the late Foundation Establishment stage in his sixties, this talent was truly powerful.
However, considering that Xu Yiren was already at the Golden Pill stage when he was born and Xu Mu was comparable to the Nascent Soul stage, this talent was not surprising.
“Tian Yang, I’ve heard of everything from your aunt these years, you’ve done an excellent job!”, Xu Mu praised.
Among the six siblings, not to mention Xu Tiangu and Xu Tianmei, due to lack of management, their personalities are pretty bold and unrestrained.
The oldest, Xu Tianmei and Xu Tianlei, had gone to the Cang Ming Ocean Territory. Xu Tianzhen, who was of the same age as he, had also gone to the Cang Ming Ocean Territory to enhance his cultivation.
He was the only one bustling around with Xu Yiren.
“Helping mother with her tasks is what I should be doing,” Xu Tianyang said calmly.
Even though he looked serious, it would be impossible to say that he didn’t have any grievances.
They all had the same identity, yet the others could travel around and focus on their cultivation while he had to work tirelessly on gang matters. It was only natural that he felt uneasy.
This was a common human feeling, and there was nothing to blame.
Fortunately, although he had some grievances, he didn’t act in contradiction to his words and was genuinely helpful.
This was one of the reasons Xu Mu commended him.
“You can put aside the matters of the gang and leave them to your aunt. This time I will take you back with me and assist you in breaking through to the Golden Pill,” said Xu Mu.
“Yes!”
A trace of joy couldn’t help but emerge on Xu Tianyang’s serious face.
He often corresponded with Xu Tianmei and the others, and he had long been yearning for the prosperity of the Cang Ming Ocean Territory. It was due to his bloodline that he couldn’t conveniently visit the territory. Now that he had Xu Mu with him, he obviously didn’t have to worry.
Moreover, with Xu Mu’s help in increasing his cultivation, he would be able to make up for the years of his cultivation delay. He no longer had any grievances in his heart.
“Father, we want to go too!” Xu Tiangu and Xu Tianmei eagerly said.
Originally, Xu Tiangu was supposed to be sent over. He didn’t have the bloodline of the Sea Race and could easily blend with a different identity.
After all, it was more secure to live in the Cang Ming Ocean Territory than in the uncertain Outer Sea.
However, because there were problems with the Palace of Pure Heart, his travel plans were naturally delayed.
How could Xu Yiren send her own son into danger? If she wasn’t worried it would be discovered, she would have written a letter early on asking the other three to return.
“Relax, I won’t forget about you two,” said Xu Mu.
“Great!”
Xu Tiangu and Xu Tianmei excitedly said.
The Outer Sea was after all a battlefield. It could not be compared to the Cang Ming Ocean Territory.
For young people like them, the Cang Ming Ocean Territory had a strong appeal and they had to visit it at any cost.
Xu Mu silently hoped that when the two of them entered the Divine Kingdom’s reincarnation, they would still be as happy as they were now.
“You can leave first. Your mother and I have some things to talk about!”
Seeing the eagerly waiting Zhang Tianluo, Xu Mu naturally fulfilled her. After all, it had been tens of years and she was almost choked to death.
A month later, Xu Mu left some life-saving measures and cultivation resources for the two, and then took Xu Tianyang and the others back to the Cang Ming Ocean Territory.
…
“Senior Brother, are you still not willing to let go? Do you want the Palace of Pure Heart to accompany you to the funeral?” Yan Ruoxi said with a cold expression.
Seeing Mo Wuxin, who should now be addressed as Senior Sister, Yan Ruoxi could only feel hatred in her heart.
Anyone who found out that the person they had loved for a lifetime was the same gender as themselves would feel devastated.
“Ruoxi, don’t you really know what Golden Light Old Demon is thinking? Or he really believes that if I agree to him, he will let the Pure Heart Palace go?” Mo Wuxin didn’t get angry and said calmly.
“If you agree, he might not let us go, but if you don’t, he certainly won’t! So, what do you want me to choose?” Yan Ruoxi kept a cold face: “Of course, you can also abandon the foundation left by the master and leave alone!”
There was something she really wanted to say, but she didn’t speak up.
Who was to blame for all this? If you were still the original Mo Wuxin, how could he coerce you with such matters?
Mo Wuxin opened her eyes, looked at Yan Ruoxi, and couldn’t help sighing.
This Junior Sister didn’t understand the problem at all and was just being used by others as a pawn.
If she could leave, she would definitely leave without hesitation, even if it meant abandoning the Palace of Pure Heart. As long as she could break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, even if she met ten of them it wouldn’t be a problem.
But she was being blackmailed with Xu Tian Yi. She had no choice.
“You go ahead! I want to be alone!” Mo Wuxin closed her eyes again.
Yan Ruoxi snorted coldly and turned to leave.
