Lei Qingfeng's courage can be described as amazing.

But the price to be paid for going against the tide is enormous.

At the most superficial level, there are two major disadvantages of refusing to join the Chixuan United Chamber of Commerce. First of all, Lei Qingfeng's otherworldly business will not have a chance with all kinds of preferential policies, and in terms of profits, it will definitely not be as good as the two major chambers of commerce of Hanhai and Shanhai at the same level; secondly, this time he completely disobeys the will of the general association and chooses to go his own way, and he will inevitably be criticized and under great pressure in the Sea Dragon Society. Whether he can keep the position of the president of the Chixuan City branch is still unknown.

On a more far-reaching scale, misfits will inevitably be excluded and suppressed. You must know that although the various chambers of commerce have been given the opportunity to enter the Red Xuan Ghost Realm, the number of times they can use the teleportation array each month is limited, and the manpower of the caravan is also strictly controlled. Under all kinds of restrictions, the business scale of each chamber of commerce cannot be too large. On the other hand, in terms of the Chixuan United Chamber of Commerce, it is actually possible to hire mercenaries and even army soldiers to enter the Chixuan Ghost Realm with them, and there is no limit to the number of people. There's a lot of room to maneuver. Under this kind of rule, the more wealthy the chamber of commerce, the more it can hire more masters with military backgrounds. In this way, the business will be bigger. At this stage, the beast business of the other world is different from others, and when the Chamber of Commerce enters the other world, it must personally send people to hunt. In the process, the advantage of numbers will be vividly reflected.

In this case, even if Lei Qingfeng has Zhou Ming's hole card, he is limited by the shortage of supply, and it is difficult to establish any advantage.

In addition to this, there is a deeper political dimension. As Lei Qingfeng said, the person behind the scenes who promoted the formation of the Chixuan United Chamber of Commerce was an absolute big man in the Shanhai Kingdom. In fact, this big man is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the current dynasty. Choosing to join the Chixuan United Chamber of Commerce is, in a sense, actually a political act of taking sides. Will Lei Qingfeng's blatant refusal arouse the displeasure of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

The thoughts in Zhou Ming's heart flashed one after another, and while admiring Lei Qingfeng's courage, there were also all kinds of doubts in his heart. From all aspects, Lei Qingfeng's decision today seems very unwise, and it really doesn't look like a mature businessman.

In Zhou Ming's view, there is actually nothing wrong with joining the Chixuan United Chamber of Commerce.

Why was Lei Qingfeng unmoved?

If the reason why Lei Qingfeng is so willful is simply because of Zhou Ming's hole card, Zhou Ming definitely doesn't believe it. Besides, Lei Qingfeng doesn't look like a willful guy who doesn't know the times.

So what is the fundamental reason why he firmly chose to go against the tide?

Zhou Ming really didn't know in his heart, and it was not convenient to ask more questions on the current occasion. He believed that Lei Qingfeng would give him a satisfactory answer at the right time.

"Never participate?"

Luo Tianchen nodded, repeated it in a cold tone, did not say more, but moved his gaze to the city guard Lord Ao Haisheng.

Ao Haisheng stood with his hands in his hands, staring at Lei Qingfeng and the three of them in silence, never saying a word.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became oppressive, filled with a maddening solemnity and dullness.

Everyone could feel that something big was about to happen.

Next to Ao Haisheng, a lean man suddenly coughed lightly. The man gave people a terrifying gloomy feeling, and his eyes were like poisonous snakes, which made people feel vicious, very gloomy and terrifying.

This person's name is Ning Tiande, the head of the Jingwei Division, and he is suddenly a big man in Chixuan City whose status is second only to Ao Haisheng.

Ning Tiande coughed lightly and heavily, although it broke the dead silence, but it did not break the solemn and dull atmosphere. On the contrary, under his cough, the slaughter here became more violent and terrifying.

In an instant, Zhou Ming felt a creep and realized that he was being targeted.

There is no doubt that Ning Tiande is a terrifying master. Although he is not a beast soul master, he is a cultivator, and he is afraid that he is not far from the realm of the beast soul master.

"Zhou Fan?"

Ning Tiande's eyelids suddenly rolled, his gaze wrapped around Zhou Ming, and a hoarse voice came out of his mouth.

Zhou Ming nodded, his muscles suddenly tensed, and he raised his eyes to meet Ning Tiande's gaze.

Beside him, Chen Ting's expression instantly became solemn, and the whole person entered a state of combat readiness. From Ning Tiande, she felt something extremely weird and terrifying.

Lei Qingfeng was the same, his face suddenly turned pale. Among all the businessmen here, no one knew better than him how powerful Ning Tiande, the head of the Jingwei Division of Chixuan City. He knew that Ning Tiande's sudden voice was definitely not a whim.

"I suspect that you have something to do with the serial murder of the officials of Chixuan City, so now come with me to the Jingwei Division!"

Ning Tiande didn't have a trace of expression on his face, and said in a hoarse voice.

"I refuse!"

Zhou Ming smiled coldly, his tone cold and resolute.

"You have no room to refuse!"

Ning Tiande showed a sneer, and a certain treacherous aura was surging on his body. "I, Ning Tiande, have served in the Kingdom Jing Wei Division for many years, and there is no murderer who can bargain in front of me!"

This statement is really overbearing. It's like naked power. This is the law of survival in this world.

Ning Tiande can be so strong and domineering, not only because he is in a high position, but also because he is a strong man with enough strength.

If he was just an ordinary beast master with mediocre strength, even if he was in the position of the master of the Jingwei Division, he would never dare to be so tough in the face of a nine-rank beast master like Zhou Ming.

As he spoke, Ning Tiande's figure shook suddenly, like a ghost dragon phantom, winding through the banquet hall, wrapped in a cold and wild aura, with an indescribable mental impact power, and instantly approached in front of Zhou Ming.

"Mind Snatcher?"

Lei Qingfeng's voice full of shock and anger suddenly sounded, and he saw Ning Tiande's right hand quietly poking out from his big sleeve, like a ghost hand poking out from the depths of the Netherworld Black Hole, silently, with a kind of bone-like paleness, wrapped in a strange coercion that eroded his soul, and suddenly grabbed Zhou Ming's forehead.

This heart-snatching ghost trick is Ning Tiande's most terrifying mastery, inherited from an ancient and treacherous beast soul master, implying the mystery of the soul spirit, which can take the spirit and seriously injure the soul. Anyone who is seriously injured by this ghost hand will inevitably collapse mentally and fall into a state of defenseless confusion. In this state, interrogation will be very simple. As long as the soul of the person being tried is pressurized, all kinds of crimes can be said to be inexhaustible, and whenever asked, they will not be confessed.

Ning Tiande can have today's status, and this heart-snatching ghost trick has played a very important role.

It's just that once you are seriously injured by this beast trick, the damage to your heart and soul is almost difficult to heal, let alone recover as before, even if you are finally proven innocent, it usually won't end well.

"What a vicious beast!"

Seeing Ning Tiande make a move, Zhou Ming's heart felt a chill. As the target of Ning Tiande's attack, Zhou Ming felt it most clearly and profoundly. Needless to say, the treacherous and vicious claws of the hands and claws are terrifying, and the power on them alone is terrifying, and the ancient meaning operates, and the turbulence is like an undercurrent turbulence, and it is not less than 700,000 rounds.

This is by no means a terrorist attack that Zhou Ming can resist at the moment!

"Brother Ping, be careful!"

At the critical moment, Nicholas Chen's figure flickered, and suddenly flashed forward from the side, leaning forward with his bare hands, actually to take this terrifying blow for Zhou Ming.

Bang!

said that it was too late, and it was fast, Zhou Ming, who had given up his life to slay the dragon in the dark, had not yet made a move, and Chen Ting, who wanted to take over for Zhou Ming regardless of life and death, had not yet been in place, and a dull collision sound had already resounded.

Lei Qingfeng's figure like a mountain of meat was already in front of the two, and one palm reached out, firmly facing Ning Tiande's ghost hand.

The two of them didn't move, the picture seemed to freeze, only the ground under each other's feet, and the rift spread like lightning.

"Ning Tiande, you are so daring. In front of me Lei Qingfeng, you dare to do something absolutely good!"

Lei Qingfeng slowly withdrew his palm and said in a cold tone, his face was already gloomy.

Ning Tiande glared at Lei Qingfeng, his face was the color of pig liver, and he wanted to say something, but unfortunately all that came out of his mouth was blood.

"Little brother, let's go!"

Lei Qingfeng looked around murderously, turned around slowly, waved his hand at Zhou Ming deliberately and easily, and then strode towards the outside of the banquet hall.
