......

Lin Huang and the others passed through that whirlpool and came to an independent space, similar to a miniature small world, according to the ancient books left by Shen Yuelan's ancestors, this is the independent space opened up by the emperor of the 'Immortal Array Sect' back then.

Lin Huang at a glance, the mountains are continuous, the rivers are meandering, the scenery is picturesque, and the most important thing is that the aura of heaven and earth in this is several times richer than that of the outside world, which can be called a holy place for cultivation!

"Who is coming?" Not long after Lin Huang and the others came in, a loud cheer suddenly came from afar.

Whoosh!

As soon as the words fell, the sound of breaking wind came, and two streamers landed here, turning into the figures of two middle-aged men, both of whom were recultivated in the Martial King Realm!

A touch of surprise flashed in Lin Huang's eyes, a strong man in the Martial King Realm can be regarded as a strong party outside, and he is only a "guard" in the main pavilion of Tianbao Pavilion, which shows that the foundation of Tianbao Pavilion is indeed good.

"Second Miss of the Shen Family?" One of the middle-aged men couldn't help but exclaim when he saw Shen Yuelan's face clearly. Both of them are from merchants, and they have been guarding the entrance here for more than half a month, so they naturally know that their own Supreme Elder went out to secretly capture Shen Yuelan not long ago, but they didn't expect them to come back unscathed!

"Get out of the way, Miss Ben is going back!" Shen Yuelan didn't have the slightest good impression of the people in the merchant, and when she came back, she saw the people in the merchant, and she was even more disgusted and nervous, because usually the Shen family's masters guarded the entrance, but now she was replaced by the merchant's person, of course she knew what it meant......

The two middle-aged men looked at each other, hesitated slightly, or retreated honestly, a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes, what about Elder Taishang and the rest of the Shen family (Cheng Bo's group)?

Seeing them obediently retreating, Shen Yuelan took the three people behind her and swept in the direction of the Shen family.

After they all left, the two middle-aged men reacted, Shen Yuelan came back, they should report the matter to the merchant, one of the middle-aged men stayed, and the other middle-aged man swept in the direction of the merchant.

......

It didn't take long for everyone to come to the door of an ancient mansion under the guidance of Shen Yuelan, and there was a plaque hanging directly above it, and on the plaque, two big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing were written - 'Shen Mansion'!

Outside the Shen family's mansion, there was a pair of stone lions, which looked mighty.

On both sides of the door of the Shen family's mansion, there were six domestic servants, Lin Huang swept it at a glance and found that the cultivation of these six domestic servants was not lower than the Earth Spirit Realm!

In the outside world, the masters of the Earth Spirit Realm can be regarded as strong, and among the first-class families in the Qianwu Imperial City, they are definitely the backbone, and in places like West Wind City, it is enough to dominate one side, and on the side of the Shen family, they are just the servants of the gatekeepers......

Lin Huang keenly felt that outside the Shen family's mansion, there were several powerful auras hidden, if nothing else, the owners of those few auras should be strong people above the fourth level of the Martial King Realm, Lin Huang estimated that eighty percent of the middle-level Martial King Realm powerhouses were sent by merchants to secretly monitor the Shen family.

"The Shen family's life is indeed not easy!" Lin Huang said secretly in his heart.

Shen Yuelan led everyone and swaggered towards the Shen family's mansion, and when the six servants saw Shen Yuelan, they hurriedly lowered their heads and shouted, "Second Miss!"

Shen Yuelan didn't say anything, and directly walked into the Shen family's mansion with Lin Huang and the others.

......

In the center of the Shen family's mansion, a splendid palace was built, which was the main hall of the Shen family and the location of the Shen family's 'House of Elders'.

On the main seat in the main hall, there was a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes with slightly white temples, this person was Shen Yuelan's biological father and Shen Tianfeng, the head of the Shen family, and he was also a veteran Martial King Realm sevenfold peak powerhouse!

In the main hall, the hundreds of elders of the Shen family were all present, and each of them was surging with very powerful spirit yuan fluctuations, obviously, these people were all Martial King powerhouses, but they were all below the seventh level of the Martial King Realm.

"My lord, the merchant deceives people too much, we fight with them!"

"That is, our Shen family has no bad seeds, and would rather live standing than die on their knees!"

"My lord, let's go to war!"

“......”

Shen Tianfeng frowned, he couldn't wait to start a war with the merchants, but the current Shen family's strength is not as good as before, and it is no longer the first family of Tianbao Pavilion, what are they going to do with others?!

Not counting the ancestors of the Shen family, the Shen family only has a total of seventeen Supreme Elders, one Martial King Realm Ninefold, four Martial King Realm Eightfold, and the remaining twelve Supreme Elders, all of whom are Martial King Realm Sevenfold cultivators.

More than two months ago, the three Martial King Realm eightfold Supreme Elders of the Shen family fell, and more than half a month ago, the Shen family ancestor failed to attack the Nirvana Realm, and his bones were gone!

The Shen family can be said to have suffered a great loss of vitality, and almost half of the highest-end combat power is wasted!

Three days ago, the merchant's ancestor at the peak of the Martial King Realm was suddenly promoted to the half-step Nirvana Realm!

The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and the boat was late and encountered a head wind! The situation of the Shen family became even worse!

Just yesterday, news came from the merchant that they could "let the Shen family go" and detoxify Mrs. Shen, but they had two conditions:

First, the eldest lady of the Shen family, Shen Yuerong, and the second lady, Shen Yuelan, married into the business.

Second, after the fall of the three Supreme Elders of the Shen family, the three elder seats vacated on the side of the Elder Pavilion were given to the three Supreme Elders of the merchants.

In the Tianbao Pavilion Pavilion, the highest power is not the Elder Pavilion, but the 'Elder Pavilion', the power of the Elder Pavilion is so great that it can determine the ownership of the position of the Elder Pavilion!

There are a total of thirty-six seats in the 'Elders' Pavilion, with the Shen family occupying ten elder seats, the merchants occupying ten elder seats, and the remaining sixteen elder seats being divided among the remaining families.

At the beginning, the two ancestors of the Tianbao Pavilion had made a rule before their deaths, no matter what, the two major families together could not occupy more than twenty elder seats, so the Shen and Shang families could only snatch the elder seats from each other's hands.

In fact, the sixteen elder seats are not too many, the Shen and Shang families each occupy ten seats, and the remaining sixteen seats are divided among hundreds of families, and one family only has one or two seats, and 90% of the families cannot get anything......

Every elder seat has a lot of weight in the Tianbao Pavilion General Pavilion, because it also involves the distribution of interests among the major families.

Ninety percent of the annual income of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is divided into forty-one parts (one for each elder seat, and five for the head of the Tianbao Pavilion), which is proportionally distributed to the families with the elder seats, and the remaining one percent is equally divided among the remaining hundreds of families.

Tianbao Pavilion is the largest commercial organization in the Southern Wasteland, the annual income is definitely an astronomical amount, the Shen family has already lost the position of the head of the Tianbao Pavilion, if it loses three more elder seats, it will definitely be a huge blow to the Shen family, and it is even likely to collapse!

Because of the loss of the position of the head of the Tianbao Pavilion and the three elder seats, the Shen family only had seven elder seats left, while the merchant had the position of the head of the pavilion, plus thirteen elder seats.

In other words, every year, the Shen family can only get 15% of the total income of Tianbao Pavilion, while the merchants can get 40% of the total income!

The current Shen family is not as good as the business, if it continues to develop like this, the gap between the Shen family and the business will become bigger and bigger, and after a few decades or a hundred years, how will the Shen family compete with the business?
