In the sky outside Wanxiang City, flying magical artifacts and demonic beast mounts moved back and forth in a continuous stream, with all sorts of dazzling streaks of light.

However, when the Jiuhua Cloud Chariot slowly emerged from the clouds, the entire sky fell silent for a moment.

Nine Nascent Soul True Monarch-level cloud dragons rode on the clouds, their roars deep and long, their snow-white bodies gleaming like jade in the sunlight.

They were pulling an ancient bronze chariot covered with a nine-tiered canopy, the flowing light on the canopy intertwining into a magnificent halo.

All the flying magical artifacts and demonic beasts around them scrambled to the sides, and even the most irritable demonic birds obediently shrank their necks and made way.

The cultivators in the sky looked at the nine cloud dragons with surprise and doubt, then at the bronze chariot with its nine-layered canopy, and discussed among themselves with their companions, wondering where such an important figure came from that could have nine Nascent Soul stage dragons pulling the chariot.

Of course, some cultivators with considerable skill and keen eyesight recognized that these nine cloud dragons were not real dragons, but rather chariot-pulling puppets derived from the array patterns of magical artifacts.

However, one can imagine how terrifying a magical artifact is that can give rise to such a Nascent Soul stage cloud dragon puppet.

This also made these discerning figures extremely wary, secretly wondering about the origins of the ancient chariot's owner.

In the very center of MixC, the towering white jade building, hundreds of feet tall, gleamed in the afternoon sun.

The building is constructed entirely of solid pieces of white jade, with ornate reliefs and mysterious array patterns engraved on the walls. Each pattern shimmers slightly, as if the building itself were a living magical artifact.

This is the headquarters of the Wanxiang Business Alliance, Wanxiang Building.

Just then, three rainbow lights shot out from the top of the building.

Three streaks of rainbow light traversed the sky and quickly approached the Jiuhua Cloud Chariot, stopping in front of it.

The rainbow light dissipated, revealing the form inside.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a long robe with a purple background and gold patterns. The robe was embroidered with great care. The purple background was as deep as twilight, and the gold patterns were as bright as flowing clouds. A black jade belt was tied around his waist, which outlined his tall and straight figure very neatly.

He was handsome, with high brow bones and slightly sunken eyes. His eyes held a complex quality that blended shrewdness and authority, possessing both the sharpness of a businessman and the composure of a leader.

To his left stood an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a spotless white robe, with a youthful face despite his white hair, exuding an air of otherworldly grace.

The old man had a slight smile on his lips, making him look quite kind, but the occasional glint of shrewdness in his slightly narrowed eyes made him someone not to be underestimated.

On the right was a slender middle-aged woman wearing a lake-blue dress with inconspicuous silver water patterns embroidered on the hem. Her face was beautiful and dignified, with a gentle smile on her face. She seemed to have a mild temperament, but the aura of the Nascent Soul stage emanating from her was so powerful that it was frightening.

Upon seeing the three appear, all the surrounding cultivators were stunned, their expressions showing astonishment.

Someone exclaimed in surprise in a low voice, "That's... Fan Jinyuan, the leader of the Wanxiang Business Alliance?! And the two vice leaders, Huang Ci and Kong Xinci?! The three of them rarely appear together, how come they're all out together?!"

"Judging from their appearance, it seems they are welcoming the owner of that bronze chariot? That bronze chariot looks quite extraordinary; it's probably at least a flying magic weapon of the spirit treasure level! Perhaps it's a big shot from a sacred immortal sect who knows Alliance Leader Fan and the others, which makes sense."

"Isn't that a bit much? Even if it's just knowing Alliance Leader Fan and the others, it shouldn't warrant such a grand reception. The three leaders of the Merchant Alliance coming to greet us at the same time is a bit exaggerated."

"..."

Under the astonished and curious gazes of everyone, Fan Jinyuan and his two companions bowed respectfully, with Fan Jinyuan, the leader, saying in a very respectful tone, "Fan Jinyuan of the Wanxiang Merchant Alliance welcomes the young master!"

The two vice-alliance leaders flanking Fan Jinyuan also bowed respectfully: "Vice-alliance leader Huang Ci (Kong Xinci), welcome young master!"

The three voices echoed in the sky, causing the discussions in the air to cease abruptly.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Fan Jinyuan and his two companions, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Leaving aside the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators, even the important figures in the flying magical artifacts stood up one after another, looking at the ancient bronze chariot in the distance with ever-changing expressions and astonishment in their eyes.

"Didn't Old Monster Huang and his gang start from scratch and build this huge empire?! How come there's a young master here??"

"I don't know, that's strange. I've never heard of anyone backing Fan Jinyuan! I've always thought that Fan Jinyuan himself is a genius, outstanding in both cultivation and business acumen, which is why he has the Myriad Elephants Merchant Alliance today!"

"However... I'm not surprised at all. Think about it, Fan Jinyuan's family was just a declining Nascent Soul clan, with only one frail Nascent Soul ancestor left. And when Fan Jinyuan was young, he wasn't particularly outstanding. But after he got involved in business, it was as if he had suddenly become enlightened. He not only achieved success in business, but his cultivation also rose steadily! If he didn't have someone backing him, he probably wouldn't have been able to do this, right?"

"Indeed... In the list of True Monarchs of the Eastern Region compiled by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, the introduction of Fan Jinyuan states that his cultivation method is related to the Way of Commerce, which is completely different from the Wood Path cultivation method that the Fan family mainly cultivates..."

"..."

As they were talking, the doors of the bronze chariot slowly opened.

The next moment, a middle-aged man dressed in gray, with an ordinary face and an indifferent expression slowly walked out.

His gaze swept across the sky, seemingly piercing through the void, and landed on the few Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the sky.

These Nascent Soul stage cultivators were struck as if by lightning, their very souls feeling a sharp pain, and their faces turned slightly pale.

Their eyes flashed with horror, and their hearts were filled with turmoil.

"A Nascent Soul! A Nascent Soul stage expert?! This Nascent Soul power is even stronger than the Holy Sect Ancestor I've ever seen. When did the Eastern Region produce such a Nascent Soul stage expert??"

An old man in the late Nascent Soul stage, his face deeply lined with wrinkles, muttered to himself, his hands trembling slightly.

He was both shocked and frightened.

Under normal circumstances, such important figures would never be seen walking around outside!

How did it suddenly appear?

The other Nascent Soul True Monarchs immediately fell silent, not even daring to transmit their thoughts through divine sense, for fear of disrespecting this powerful being.

The other cultivators did not detect the primordial spirit power of this Nascent Soul stage expert. They only felt that the aura of the cultivator in front of them was quite profound and obscure, like a bottomless abyss, making it impossible to discern the truth from the falsehood.

All the cultivators present believed that this person was a great figure in the Nascent Soul stage. Only a very few Golden Core stage cultivators, who had achieved some success in the Dao of Divine Sense, vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

However, they dared not speculate that this middle-aged man was in the Nascent Soul stage.

After all, the Nascent Soul stage is equivalent to the top powerhouse in the Eastern Region and even the entire Canglan Realm.

How could such an important person suddenly appear here?

Even if such a great figure did appear, he wouldn't step out of the ancient carriage, even with Fan Jinyuan and the other two present.

Following this great man, several ordinary-looking middle-aged men and women emerged one after another.

Upon seeing these middle-aged men and women, everyone present exchanged bewildered glances, their faces turning somewhat pale.

The Nascent Soul stage cultivators inside those flying magical artifacts felt their mouths and throats were parched.

Nascent Soul Stage!

Nascent Soul Stage!

Still in the Nascent Soul stage!

There were at least five or six Nascent Soul stage cultivators present, and each of them made them feel that their lives were threatened!

Add to that the Nascent Soul stage expert, and the powerful figures who just came out of this ancient chariot are enough to establish a sacred immortal sect!

Just then, another figure stepped out of the car.

It was a young man dressed in white. His moon-white brocade robe had few decorations, with only a few inconspicuous dark cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs and collar. His long hair was casually tied back with a silver hairpin, with a few strands falling down his side. He stood on the edge of the ancient chariot, and the breeze blew the hem of his clothes and his hair.

The moment the young man appeared, all the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators present were stunned, and only his figure remained in the world.

The sunlight fell on him, casting a hazy glow upon him, making him look like a celestial being who had stepped out of a painting, or a darling of this world.

Even Nascent Soul stage cultivators were momentarily stunned, their eyes flashing with amazement.

In their daze, Fan Jinyuan gave Lu Yang a respectful smile: "Young Master, it's finally time to meet you!"

The others immediately came to their senses.

Everyone present was somewhat bewildered, especially the few Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Little Lord?

It wasn't that Nascent Soul stage expert?!

Could it be this young man in white, seemingly unique to the world?!
