Limitless Sword God

Chapter 486 Huairou Zangjian and Qing Jianya

Proofreader: @vongola10

Regarding the matter of Green Ghost King, it would probably need to chase all the way to the first clan head of Huairou Family, which was also known as the Huairou Zangjian generation… At that time, the Huairou family was not a pure merchant family, but a half-business and half-martial family. This was a pattern that was commonly used by Ultimate Martial World families. Merchants earned spirit coins, handed it over to martial artists for cultivation, martial artists protected merchants to earn spirit coins, and the two coexisted.

At that time, Huairou Zangjian was a Spirit cultivator with extremely high cultivation, but almost all of his cultivation came from his hard training and good fortune. He did not have any extraordinary talent, and at that time, his cultivation had reached a bottleneck. Only a large amount of profound coins could help him promote.

Therefore, Huairou Zangjian raised money everywhere and prepared for his breakthrough. But when he gathered the money, he suddenly thought, ‘if he broke through at that time and then was on the verge of another breakthrough, where could he get more money?’

After an intense ideological struggle, Huairou Zangjian finally decided to use this amount of funds to break through as the initial capital to officially start his own business path.

Although he didn’t have any talent for cultivation, he showed shocking talent in the business. Through methods like magic treasures selling, magic treasure repairs and circulation, he forcefully earned seventy million profound coins in a short three years. He was known by the local spirit cultivators as a business genius.

Huairou Zangjian didn’t feel satisfied with his new business. He kept opening new shops and learned everywhere. He also learned the strengths of others and making up for the weaknesses with his own unique method. He opened Huairou Exchange to increase his reputation and continued to expand his company.

The profound coins began to flow into his pocket unceasingly, and his reputation grew bigger and bigger.

It was just that people were afraid of being famous, while pigs were afraid of being strong. When the bowls he earned were full, he would become the focus of everyone’s attention.

A heaven-defying powerful cultivator came to Wu Ye City and used overwhelming power to force Huairou Zangjian to sign an unfair contract. He asked the Huairou Merchant Guild to pay profound coins monthly, a payment of ten million profound coins every month.

This was almost the Huairou Merchant Guild’s peak income.

Huairou Zangjian expressed their difficulties. He said that they were unable to pay so many profound coins, but it was useless. The powerful cultivator simply didn’t listen. If profound coins didn’t be paid, Huairou Merchant Guild would be completely destroyed by force.

With no other choice, Huairou Zangjian could only try his best to make up for it. The Merchant Guild had been unable to make ends meet for the past few months.

Huairou Zangjian accidentally bumped into the head of another Merchant Guild. When he inadvertently brought up this matter, that person also had a face full of worry.

So it turned out that the matter of being extorted by powerful cultivators wasn’t unique to the Huairou Merchant Guild, this sort of thing happened in many Merchant Guilds. Powerful cultivators with great strength were no longer bound by moral rules and regulations. They could do whatever they want.

Upon hearing these words, Huairou Zangjian let out a deep sigh.

However, with the outrageousness of the powerful cultivator’s request for profound coins, the Huairou Merchant Guild would not be able to hold on for long.

Since Huairou Zangjian couldn’t defeat the powerful cultivator, he had no other choice but to explain that he would disperse the Huairou Merchant Guild in the future and would no longer continue the business.

However, the situation was far from what Huairou Zangjian had expected.

That powerful cultivator said no.

Ten million profound coins per month had increased his cultivation speed by quite a bit. How could he allow such a benefit go away for nothing?

Thus, he requested that Huairou Zangjian to support the Merchant Guild or else he would destroy it.

Huairou Zangjian could not withstand the pressure but was unable to defeat him. He felt both anger and hatred.

Finally, he decided to resist.

He left the training place and returned to the Huairou Merchant Guild in Wu Ye City. After five days and five nights, he came up with this “half-business half-martial” plan, borrowing money from everywhere under the name of the Merchant Guild. While continuously supplying profound coins to that powerful cultivator, he also used the borrowed money to expand the Merchant Guild.

Thus, they had been preparing for a full seven years!

In these seven years, the Huairou Merchant Guild had been in the state of being bright on the outside but empty on the inside. No one knew how Huairou Zangjian made it through. The Huairou family had today, perhaps some of it was due to luck.

At that moment, a spirit cultivator with unparalleled martial prowess entered the sight of Huairou Zangjian.

This person was extremely unique. When he arrived at Wu Ye City, he was already seriously injured. It was said that he was being pursued by his enemies for 111 days.

He had been plotted against by the enemy and poisoned. If he had not been poisoned, he would not run away.

Although Huairou Zangjian was a merchant, he was also a kind person before this. Seeing this person was on the verge of dying and his body was about to shatter, he took him into Huairou mansion to hide. After the enemy left, he healed the person’s wounds.

After this person woke up, he felt grateful towards Huairou Zangjian. Huairou Zangjian didn’t take notice and let him leave.

This person was not an ungrateful person. When he found out that Huairou Zangjian was recruiting, he immediately expressed his willingness to help Huairou Zangjian.

Naturally, Huairou Zangjian was happy and immediately entrusted the matter to him.

Finally, the time was ripe. Huairou Zangjian brought all of the Huairou Merchant Guild’s force to the powerful cultivator’s cave and surrounded him.

This encirclement lasted for a whole month. During this time, the Huairou Merchant Guild lost more than 70% of their power, and Huairou Zangjian was almost killed. If it wasn’t for this person risking his life to save him, Huairou Zangjian had died a long time ago.

In the end, under the combined forces of Huairou Zangjian and this person, the powerful cultivator died a horrible death.

Huairou Zangjian was excited and moved by that person’s assistance. He felt that the person could be a friend, so he made that person his sworn brother.

The two of them managed the Huairou Merchant Guild, one in charge of the merchant, one in charge of martial force.

“This person’s name is Qing Jianya, the master of the Green Ghost Palace, the Green Ghost King!”

Huairou Gong said softly.

“What?”

Huairou Muyu was surprised, “This person is actually acquainted with the ancestor of the Huairou family?” Huairou Gong nodded and said, “The two of them were like fish and water, fire and firewood, Qing Jianya’s cultivation level was frightening. With him helping Huairou Zangjian, the Huairou Merchant Guild was able to secure their safety, and the Huairou family grew stronger and stronger in their hearts.”

The other Merchant Guilds followed suit, but they could not do the same. Very quickly, the Huairou family became the most powerful Merchant Guild. However, this attracted the jealousy of the other Merchant Guilds, and they were plotted against.

Green Ghost King had a foster son, named Qing Yan, and he was very brave and ruthless, and he always used heavy money as a stake in every fight with others. The Huairou family’s rival Merchant Guild, in order to deal with the Huairou family, used Qing Yan as a bait to trick him over, sending experts to fight with him, and also tricking him into stealing many of the Huairou Merchant Guild’s property contracts from Green Ghost King.

With these contracts, the Huairou Merchant Guild would lose its control over these local Merchant Guilds. Qing Yan had a simple nature and didn’t understand the dangers of the business world. He had been cheated out of the contracts in his hands and been beaten half to death.

When Huairou Zangjian heard this, he flew into a rage. He wanted to punish Qing Yan, but after remembering that Qing Yan was the adopted son of Green Ghost King, he temporarily shut him in confinement while he went to that Merchant Guild to claim the contracts.

However, something unexpected happened. The Green Ghost King had been in another city, dealing with business, so he didn’t receive this information. When he rushed back to Huairou’s house, he found that Qing Yan had died miserably in confinement room.

It turned out that the person from that Merchant Guild had cast a rare curse when he fought against Qing Yan. No one could easily detect it. Even Huairou Zangjian didn’t expect the other party would kill Qing Yan, so he didn’t carry out an inspection.

When the curse activated, it disappeared without leaving behind a trace. After all, the other party didn’t want to cause any trouble, but after Green Ghost King examined Qing Yan’s injury, he believed that Qing Yan was killed by Huairou Zangjian, and he immediately broke away from Huairou Zangjian.

After further investigation, people learned that this was all because of the provocation of the hostile merchant guild.

‘Green Ghost King was extremely protective’, this was something that everyone knew back then, but Qing Yan was seen as his own son. With the death of Qing Yan, how could Green Ghost King not be sad?

“Because of this, Green Ghost King started to rebel and seize power!”

“From Green Ghost King’s point of view, if it was not him, there would be no Huairou merchant guild, not to mention he was the top martial artist in the merchant guild, he had beaten back many powerful enemies for the Huairou merchant guild. If he wanted to seize power, it would be easy.”

Many people got the news that he was going to usurp power, but Huairou Zangjian never said a word, let alone expressed his opinion. Until one day, when someone suggested that the top martial arts should be cancelled and the chairman should continue to be the operator, Green Ghost King couldn’t hold it in any longer. That night, he launched an attack, directly raided the cultivation place of Huairou Zangjian, in hopes of killing Huairou Zangjian and controlling Huairou merchant guild."

“However, he never would have thought that the cultivation place for Huairou Zangjian would already be filled with experts, only waiting for him to come.”

The two chatted for three days and three nights. In the end, Huairou Zangjian cut off all of the Green Ghost King’s subordinates, let Green Ghost King leave alone. Before he left, Huairou Zangjian said tearfully, “I will never hurt my brother.”

However, to the Green Ghost King, these words were merely posturing. He swore that he would come back to retrieve all of this.

However, after he left, he had disappeared for so many years without a trace.

“I didn’t expect Ye Moxian to get in contact with the Green Ghost King.”

At this point, Huairou Gong had a look of helplessness and worry.

Huairou Muyu was silent when she heard this.

It was the first time that she had heard such a secret. She had only heard some of it before, but she didn’t expect the whole story to be so complicated.

“According to what you said, this Green Ghost King’s strength should be extremely terrifying, right?”

Su Yun said.

"It is said that he is currently in the True Devil Realm and has built a Green Ghost Palace, with peerless power. However, the ancestor of my Huairou family, in order to prevent the Green Ghost King from seeking revenge after his death, laid down 72 spells, restricting his movements. In these years, the Green Ghost King has been thinking of ways to remove these spells.

"In addition, the magic treasure that the Green Ghost King was most afraid of was actually a magic treasure left behind by my ancestor. With this thing, even the Green Ghost King would not dare to act against the Huairou family. "

“What is it?”

“The Sacred Heart.”

Huairou Gong said.

When the two heard this, they immediately understood what was going on.

Su Yun secretly thought to himself. Although the appearance of the black cauldron made it difficult to determine the strength of the Green Ghost King, the aura unwittingly emitted gave him an unprecedented shock.

“Father, let’s ignore Green Ghost King first. The most important thing is to find a way to remove the curse on your body!”

Huairou Muyu said.

If Huairou Gong no longer had the threat of the curse, then there wouldn’t be so much trouble.

“I will order people to make arrangements. Coincidentally, I have a friend of mine who is a Master of Curse.”

Huairou Gong said.

“That’s great.”

Huairou Muyu said with a soft voice. Her slightly narrowed eyes relaxed a little.

“Old master!”

“Old master, bad news!”

“Old master!”

“Something terrible happened!”
