Chapter 1132: Changes in the Business World

The Ningyang branch of the Meteor Trading Company was now tightly surrounded by a group of experts.

These strong practitioners wore the attire of the Baoli Trading Company, and every single one of them was at the Divine King realm.

For a trading company, experts at the Divine King realm were rare.

Deploying so many at once was somewhat excessive.

The Meteor Trading Company also had some Divine Kings, but every one of them was wounded, and many corpses lay nearby.

These Divine Kings protected a delicate young woman in their midst, looking as if they were ready to die.

"Hehe, little girl Zhao Qian, hand over the Meteor Token obediently, and maybe this old man will take you as a concubine and spare your life. If you stubbornly resist, once Lord Qinchuan arrives, you might not even find death so easy!" A middle-aged Divine King from the Baoli Trading Company said with a lecherous smile.

This man had reached the peak of the Divine King realm, leading seven or eight Divine Kings from Baoli to besiege the Meteor Trading Company.

The experts of the Meteor Trading Company had fought desperately, and now only four or five Divine Kings remained, already at the end of their strength.

These few shielded Zhao Qian in the middle, with no way to retreat.

Zhao Qian's pure and refined face was now filled with despair.

The Baoli Trading Company had swept through the eight major trading companies with overwhelming force, and now only the Meteor Trading Company survived.

The Meteor Token was the supreme symbol of the Meteor Trading Company, capable of mobilizing all its resources. Once seized, the Meteor Trading Company would be completely finished.

Zhao Qian knew that the supreme tokens of the other seven trading companies had already fallen into the hands of the Baoli Trading Company.

The one in her hand was the last!

Zhao Qian sighed and said to the old man beside her, "Elder Tan, all of you leave! I will trade the Meteor Token for Li Zhong letting you go. There's no point in holding out any longer."

This Elder Tan was the Grand Elder of the Meteor Trading Company, also at the peak of the Divine King realm.

It was precisely because of him that the Meteor Trading Company had held out until now.

But a Void Profound expert from the Baoli Trading Company was already on the way; once that Qinchuan arrived, these people would have no chance of survival!

Elder Tan's face darkened, and he said, "Qian'er, this old man's bones are those of Meteor in life and Meteor in death! If you tell me to leave, where can I go? I will now carve a bloody path. You few, escort Qian'er away! As long as the Meteor Token remains, our Meteor Trading Company is not dead!"

Zhao Qian held back her tears, but she knew this was merely a last-ditch struggle.

She grabbed Elder Tan and said, "No! The Baoli Trading Company has hidden too deeply; we simply cannot escape! Elder Tan, you have devoted your life to Meteor, and I cannot let you lose your integrity in your old age!"

With that, Zhao Qian leaped out of the protective circle.

Facing Li Zhong, she said coldly, "Li Zhong, I'll give you the Meteor Token, but you must let Elder Tan and the others leave! If not, I will destroy the Meteor Token, and you will get nothing!"

The Meteor Token was made of special materials and extremely hard to damage.

But as the current head of the Meteor Trading Company, Zhao Qian knew how to destroy it.

Li Zhong's expression changed, and he nodded, "Fine, they are just clowns. What harm is there in letting them go?"

He waved his hand, and his men parted to make a path, actually allowing Elder Tan and his group to leave.

Those who remained were the die-hard loyalists of the Meteor Trading Company.

Elder Tan's face changed, "Qian'er!"

Zhao Qian turned, her face cold, and placed a short sword against her neck, shouting, "Elder Tan, if you don't leave now, Qian'er will die before your eyes!"

Zhao Qian did not notice that at this moment, a sinister smile flashed across Li Zhong's lips as he suddenly burst into motion, heading straight for Zhao Qian!

Seeing this, Elder Tan's face changed drastically, and he roared, "Qian'er, be careful!"

But it was too late; Li Zhong was a peak Divine King, and his movement technique was incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, he was beside Zhao Qian, reaching for her arm!

Once he subdued Zhao Qian, she would have no chance to destroy the Meteor Token.

The change came too quickly; no one had time to react.

Zhao Qian was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she instinctively moved to destroy the Meteor Token.

Just as Li Zhong's hand touched Zhao Qian's shoulder, a sword light shot out from an angle, incredibly fast!

"Pfft!"

Li Zhong's hand was severed at the wrist!

"Ah!"

The entire scene was stunned, with only Li Zhong's shrill screams echoing.

Zhao Qian's hand froze, and for a moment she forgot to destroy the Meteor Token.

The experts of the Baoli Trading Company were on high alert, but none of them could see where the sword light had come from.

They looked around but could not find the enemy.

"Who! Who dares to ambush me! Get out here!" Li Zhong gritted his teeth and roared.

"Slap!"

Before Li Zhong could finish, he was slapped to the ground.

The Divine Kings of the Baoli Trading Company looked as if they had seen a ghost.

They hadn't even seen who delivered that slap!

"Such a foul mouth, you deserve that!"

A young figure suddenly appeared in the scene, drawing everyone's attention.

When Zhao Qian saw this figure, her eyes were filled with surprise and joy!

"Ye... no, Ji..."

Zhao Qian was about to call Ye Yuan's name when she suddenly remembered his other identity and quickly changed her words.

With the Meteor Trading Company's information channels, how could they not know that Ji Qingyun had returned to the Divine Realm?

When Zhao Qian received that news, she was shocked for a long time before calming down.

But she never expected that after so many years, Lord Qingyunzi would come to her rescue!

Ye Yuan turned and smiled at Zhao Qian, "It's fine, just call me Ye Yuan."

Zhao Qian's face lit up with joy, and she nodded, "Ye... Lord Ye Yuan!"

Ye Yuan shook his head helplessly, then turned to the experts of the Baoli Trading Company and asked, "Who will tell me, who controls the Baoli Trading Company now?"

Those Divine Kings looked at each other, their faces showing confusion.

Seeing their expressions, Ye Yuan knew they knew nothing, and he was greatly disappointed.

Just as Ye Yuan was about to kill these Divine Kings, a powerful aura suddenly locked onto him.

"Where did this brat come from, daring to meddle in the affairs of the Baoli Trading Company?"

A figure descended from the sky, exuding an imposing aura.

Seeing this person, everyone's expression changed drastically!

"A Void Profound expert! I never thought the Baoli Trading Company was so strong, casually sending out a Void Profound expert!"

"Just when I thought the Meteor Trading Company had escaped disaster, it seems they are in for a calamity!"

"That young man seems quite strong, but he's only at the sixth level of Dao Profound. He might handle Divine Kings, but with a Void Profound expert here, he's probably doomed!"

When Zhao Qian saw the newcomer, her face changed drastically, and she quickly shouted to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, run! This Qinchuan is the current protector of the Baoli Trading Company, a seasoned Void Profound expert. You are no match for him!"
