Douluo Live Room: All the audience are Tang San’s enemies!

Just as they were talking, a disciple from the Yiming Sect came over to report.

"Elder, Sect Master, the people from the Thunder Merchant Guild have arrived. They're outside."

First Hong nodded, then led everyone to the door.

He soon discovered that these people were indeed wearing the uniforms of the Thunder Council, which made First Hong even more puzzled.

The Thunder Chamber of Commerce has already been destroyed by itself; all the high-ranking members are gone. Logically speaking, the chamber should have been dissolved, and its territory should have been forcibly annexed by the other three major chambers.

The other three major chambers of commerce have neither annexed the territory of the Thunder Chamber of Commerce nor released news of the attack on the Thunder Chamber of Commerce. Instead, they appeared in front of him as if nothing had happened.

A man who appeared to be in charge stepped forward and looked at Titan and First Hong standing to the side.

"You must be the sect leaders of Hongwu Sect, right? I am the manager of Thunder Merchant Guild. You can call me Qingshan, sect leaders."

First Hong nodded, then looked at Qingshan, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Excuse me, have there been any major changes within your Thunder Chamber of Commerce?"

"A major change! I wonder what you mean by that, Sect Master?"

"Are there any major personnel changes, like a change in the president or something?"

Upon hearing this, Qingshan's face immediately darkened.

"What do you mean by that? Do you want to undermine our Thunder Chamber of Commerce from within? I, Qingshan, am not the kind of person who would betray my master for personal gain."

First Hong knew that the supervisor named Qingshan had misunderstood his meaning, but he couldn't explain it too clearly, so he quickly waved his hand.

"If you misunderstood me, I was just asking because I've heard some bad rumors recently that the higher-ups of your Thunder Chamber of Commerce were wiped out a few days ago. Now that you've reappeared in front of me, I'm starting to wonder if you're actually members of the Thunder Chamber of Commerce."

"I see. Sect Master, you don't need to worry about that. I've also heard similar rumors, but our guild leader is here in front of us perfectly fine. The guild leader himself said it was just a rumor."

Upon hearing this, Di Yihong immediately perked up.

The president of the Thunder Chamber of Commerce was killed by his own hands. How could he possibly reappear in front of everyone in the Thunder Chamber of Commerce?
First Hong increasingly felt that something was wrong with this matter, but he had no evidence.

Hearing these strange occurrences, Ning Rongrong and the others turned pale with fright.

Ning Rongrong carefully tugged at Di Yihong's sleeve.

"what happened?"

Di Yi Hong looked at Ning Rongrong.

"Brother, do you think we killed the wrong people back then? They weren't the presidents of the Thunder Merchant Guild at all?"

“I’m also thinking about this now, and I have this suspicion. I’ve heard that many people of high status choose to keep a clone of themselves. I’m also wondering if the people we killed were just one of those clones.”

Titan assigned all the guards that Qingshan had brought to his disciples for one-on-one tutoring and training.

Aoyama was very satisfied with this arrangement; at least he felt that the 10,000 gold soul coins were well spent.

Among the surrounding sects, only the Hongwu Sect had the greatest reputation. The Thunder Merchant Guild's purpose in seeking training from the Hongwu Sect was not actually to establish a good relationship with them so that if their caravans needed to travel long distances, they could directly contact the Hongwu Sect and have them send disciples to escort them.

This is a common practice among these chambers of commerce.

This is why most merchant guilds don't have much power, but they can often send caravans to very distant places, while some powerful soul masters dare not go to such places.

Because each chamber of commerce relies on one or even several powerful sects for support.

If any problems arise with the caravans of these merchant guilds, or even if the guilds themselves encounter problems, the sects will step in to help; they will definitely not just stand by and watch.

In order to win over the relationship between the Thunder Chamber of Commerce and the Hongwu Sect, Qingshan took the initiative to come to the side of First Hong.

"Sect Master, I wonder if you have time? We'll be training here for many days, so why don't we take this opportunity to go out for a drink?"

“Alright, but I have a big business deal I’d like to discuss with your chamber of commerce.”

Instead of playing around, Di Yi Hong directly took out a sacred artifact he had obtained from the Heavenly Sect.

Upon seeing the sacred artifact appear, Qingshan's eyes widened in surprise.

As the director of the Thunder Chamber of Commerce, Qingshan had seen many grand occasions and his eyes had seen countless treasures. He could roughly judge what type of treasure a treasure was and whether it was genuine.

When Qingshan saw the sacred artifact in Di Yihong's hand, his eyes lit up.

If the Thunder Merchant Guild could also possess such a treasure, then who would dare to point fingers at the Thunder Merchant Guild in the future?
"Princess, what do you intend to do with this treasure? Are you trying to sell it to our Thunder Merchant Guild?"

Qingshan looked at Diyi Hong with some disbelief.

"That's right. To be honest, I auctioned over a hundred treasures at an auction a while ago, but I only got 300 million gold soul coins. I was a bit disappointed. I've been wanting to go to auctions for a while now. I've wanted to contact you four major merchant guilds for a long time, but I haven't had any connections. Now that you're here, my connections have finally come through."

Upon hearing this, Qingshan nodded hastily, fearing that First Hong would go to the other three major chambers of commerce.

"Sect Master, rest assured, the price our Chamber of Commerce will offer for this treasure will definitely be higher than the auction price. I dare not say about other items, but this one will be worth at least 300 million gold soul coins. This is the promise our Thunder Chamber of Commerce can make. However, because this item is too valuable, I still hope that the Sect Master can talk to our guild leader in person."

"No problem, that's exactly what I was thinking."

"Good sect leader, please follow me."

First Hong, along with Tang San, Tang Hao, and the three women, followed Qingshan to the Thunder Merchant Guild.

According to First Hong's guess, the guild leader he killed was probably a stand-in, while the real guild leader had long been hiding in the Thunder Merchant Guild's Heavenly Dou City.

Even First Hong had some doubts about whether the news that the president was alright was a hoax, a trap to lure him in. He hadn't cared much about a mere chamber of commerce, but if it really was a trap, he would like to venture into the lion's den to investigate.

Soon everyone arrived at the Thunder Chamber of Commerce. First Hong discovered that this was a place he had never been before. The interior was extremely luxurious and much larger than the auction house.

Just then, someone who looked very familiar to First Hong appeared before him. (End of Chapter)
