Chapter 629: Peace Talks Are Not that Easy
In the following days, the elders in charge of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce were so busy and overwhelmed.
Most of those who were sent to negotiate with those families returned in anger.
The attitudes of those families were extremely firm, and there was no room for maneuver at all.
There was no progress in the investigation of the source of goods of the Wanwu Grocery Store and the forces behind it.
It seemed that there was a mysterious and powerful force in the dark, protecting the Wanwu Grocery Store in secret, causing the Xuantian Palace's investigation to repeatedly hit a wall and gain nothing.
At the same time, the development trend of the Wanwu Grocery Store was extremely rapid, and it continued to expand, and its business became more and more prosperous.
In the Xuantian Palace, the atmosphere was so heavy and depressing that people could hardly breathe.
The Xuantian Palace and the elders who managed the Sihai Chamber of Commerce gathered together again, and everyone's face was as gloomy as the sky covered with dark clouds.
"What can we do? If this continues, the Sihai Chamber of Commerce will be completely finished!" An elder was extremely anxious and said anxiously.
"Could it be that such a powerful force as our Xuantian Palace is so stumped by a small grocery store?" Another elder was furious and slammed the table angrily.
Liu Wuhen still pretended to be worried on the surface, but he was thinking about how to further disrupt the current situation.
At this extremely urgent moment, another piece of bad news came like a thunder.
It turned out that some small forces that had close relations and good friendships with the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, seeing that the Sihai Chamber of Commerce was now in such a difficult predicament, did not hesitate to completely cancel their cooperation with the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.
Not only that, they also added insult to injury and shamelessly asked the Sihai Chamber of Commerce to compensate for their so-called losses.
This undoubtedly made the situation of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce even more difficult, as if it was on the edge of a cliff and would fall into the abyss if it was not careful.
"This is simply too much!" An elder was furious, and his eyes seemed to be spewing raging fire.
Liu Wuhen took the opportunity to say: "Elders, perhaps in this critical moment, we can consider using some extreme means to deal with it.
"What extreme means?" Everyone looked at him, their eyes full of doubts, what good way could there be at the moment.
Liu Wuhen's eyes flashed a trace of cruelty, and he said in a gloomy tone: "For example, secretly send people to destroy the business of the Wanwu Grocery Store, or simply directly attack their person in charge.
"It is estimated that this will not work. The strength of the Wanwu Grocery Store should not be underestimated.
It is not that this method has not been tried before, but all the assassins sent out have been lost like a stone in the sea, and there is no news." An elder frowned and objected worriedly.
Liu Wuhen shrugged indifferently, and said sarcastically: "Then do the elders have a better solution?"
The conference hall once again fell into a suffocating silence.
After a long time, a calm elder slowly spoke: "I think we can't be so blind and impulsive without considering the consequences.
The power behind the Wanwu Grocery Store is so mysterious, and it can still thrive under our suppression. It must have its own strengths.
If we rashly use extreme means, I am afraid it will burn us and bring ourselves more trouble."
Everyone listened and nodded slightly, thinking that this was very reasonable.
Now that the Lord has not come out of retreat, Xuantian Temple is being closely watched by the Dagan Dynasty.
If Xuantian Temple rashly sends a large number of people to deal with the Wanwu Grocery Store, it will be equivalent to completely exposing Xuantian Temple to the world.
As long as Xuantian Temple makes a slight move, it will definitely arouse the high alert of the Dagan Dynasty. By then, the relationship between Sihai Chamber of Commerce and Xuantian Temple can no longer be concealed.
At that time, there is no need for the Wanwu Grocery Store to suppress it. The royal family of the Dagan Dynasty will come forward without hesitation to completely eradicate the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.
This is not okay, and that is not okay.
The current predicament made the elders of Xuantian Temple anxious, like ants on a hot pot.
For a moment, no one could think of a more perfect and effective response.
Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Liu Wuhen sneered in his heart, and said in a yin and yang tone: "If we keep being so timid and hesitant, when the Grocery Store of Everything has completely established its foothold and grown stronger, then we will really have no chance to turn things around.
As soon as this sound came out, the faces of the elders became more and more ugly, as if covered with a thick layer of haze.
The elder in the lead frowned and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said: "It seems that we can no longer sit and wait for death. We must take the initiative to attack, but we must pay attention to strategy and not act rashly.
"Elder Tian, when the Lord is not here, you are our backbone, and everything is up to you." An elder said.
Elder Tian said solemnly: "For now, we can only send an envoy to negotiate with the Wanwu Grocery Store.
First stabilize the current situation, and then make long-term plans. I just hope that the Lord can come out of seclusion as soon as possible and take charge of the overall situation.
"Negotiations, wouldn't that be showing weakness to them?" Someone immediately refuted.
Just now, it was said that everything was decided by Elder Tian, but it changed so quickly.
It seems that the interior of Xuantian Palace is not a solid block, and people's hearts are not united.
Elder Tian glanced at the person who refuted, feeling helpless. Now he still has to stabilize this hard-earned family business first.
He patiently explained: "This is not a sign of weakness, but a delaying tactic.
We can find their flaws and find out their true and false in the process of peace talks, and at the same time buy us more time."
Everyone fell into a brief thought.
Liu Wuhen said nothing more, his goal had basically been achieved.
If they still want to find out the true and false of the Wanwu Grocery Store, no matter how many people Xuantian Palace sent, they will never return.
The latest instruction given to him by Chen Ze is to anger Xuantian Palace step by step.
Let this force that has been hiding behind step by step have to come to the surface.
Seeing that everyone no longer objected, Elder Tian immediately decided to send envoys to Wanwu Grocery Stores in various places for peace talks.
However, what they didn't know was that Liu Wuhen had secretly informed Chen Ze of all this.
Wanwu Space.
After Chen Ze recovered all the profits of the past few days, he actually obtained up to 2.5 billion points.
(The spiritual stones earned from selling items are also included, and will be converted into points for calculation in the future)
The reason why such a high profit can be achieved in just a few days is partly because the new 293 grocery stores have been successfully opened for business.
Another important reason is that it is due to the royal family of the Dagan Dynasty and Xuantian Temple.
The Dagan Dynasty's Centennial Competition was held in advance, and all parties who wanted to buy cultivation resources were rushing in like a tide.
They were afraid that if they bought less, their own Tianjiao would fall behind others by one point in the competition.
There is no need to say more about the "contribution" made by Xuantian Temple. As the saying goes, stealing a chicken but losing a rice bowl is the most appropriate description for them.
