Volume 1 The Mortal Realm Chapter 140 A Shocking Gamble
Qingfeng City's Lu family, after receiving Lu Chen's summons, Lu Changwei, the elder of the Lu family, personally convened a family elder meeting.
"Our Elder Keqing, I can't see through it, the last time I saw him, he was still a late Jindan cultivator, but now he is a Jindan Great Perfection cultivator. Lu Changwei sat upright and looked at the head of the Lu family and the elders below.
"There are few Jindan Great Perfection monks in their twenties, there are few in the history of the Southern Regions, even compared to the amazing and brilliant Dragon Shadow Saint Venerable in our mortal realm, it is not too much!" Lu Liangcai, the head of the family, said with the same emotion.
"This time, Elder Lu Chen said that he had something important to find Elder Taishang, it should be for the matter of the Changping City branch of Xibao Pavilion, because I have just received a letter of help from their pavilion master Lin Xi recently, and I haven't had time to tell you that the Galaxy Sword Sect is forcing the Xibao Pavilion to be attached to it within a month, otherwise, the power of the entire sect will be dispatched to destroy the Xibao Pavilion. Lu Liangcai continued.
"This Galaxy Sword Sect is too domineering, isn't it?" said an elder.
"Family Master, Xibao Pavilion, how has it developed in the past two years?" an elder asked.
"Xibao Pavilion's branch in Qingfeng City, its business is hot, I believe you have all witnessed it with your own eyes, according to the deacon we sent to Xibao Pavilion, the annual profit is more than 70 million lower grade spirit stones, and the Xibao Pavilion is developing faster in Changping City, and the annual profit is about 140 million lower grade spirit stones. Lu Liangcai explained.
"Everyone, according to the current scale and business status of Xibao Pavilion, our Lu family can distribute 20 million lower grade spirit stones every year, imagine that one day, Xibao Pavilion has opened branches in the seven major cities of the Southern Regions, then wouldn't our three major families be able to get at least 60 million lower grade spirit stones every year!" said an elder.
After this person's calculation, the elders present all showed fiery eyes, as long as Xibao Pavilion did not fall, it would be able to provide a steady stream of dividends for the Lu family, and with more financial support, the strength of the Lu family would be on a higher level.
Lu Changwei, the elder of the Lu family, and Lu Liangcai, the head of the family, have a long-term vision, compared to these dividends, they value Lu Chen's future more, Lu Chen will definitely be able to grow into a great cultivator in the future, this crisis in Xibao Pavilion is an excellent opportunity to send charcoal in the snow, so that Lu Chen owes them a favor from the Lu family, nothing is more important than this.
"If we don't help Xibao Pavilion this time, then our cooperative relationship with them will end here, you may not know that Lin Xi, the owner of Xibao Pavilion, has given half of his shares to Lu Chen for free, that is to say, rushing to help Xibao Pavilion not only help us keep our money bags, but also an excellent opportunity to have a good relationship with Lu Chen. Lu Liangcai said again.
"No matter what the Cheng family and the Yang family choose, our Lu family will do our best to help Xibao Pavilion fight against the Xinghe Sword Sect, in view of the fact that the Xinghe Sword Sect has three late Yuan Infant cultivators, this time I will personally lead the team, all the monks above the Jindan Great Perfection will be on standby in the clan immediately, we may set off at any time!" Taishang Elder Lu Changwei made a final decision and announced that he would fight side by side with Xibao Pavilion.
Supreme Elder Lu Changwei and the head of the family, Lu Liangcai, rushed to Xibao Pavilion to meet Lu Chen, and the other elders separately implemented this emergency mobilization order, you must know that the Lu family has not made such a big move for tens of thousands of years.
Qingfeng City Cheng family, after receiving Lu Chen's summons, Cheng Xiangyang, the elder of the Cheng family, also personally convened a family elder meeting, and after full discussion, finally made the decision to dispatch the strongest combat power of the family and urgently rush to Changping City to support Xibao Pavilion.
At the same time, the Yang family in Qingfeng City, after receiving Lu Chen's summons, Yang Delu, the elder of the Yang family, also personally convened the family elders' meeting, and then the elders announced that the Yang family would protect Xibao Pavilion at all costs.
An hour later, the Supreme Elder and the head of the three major families arrived at the gate of the Xibao Pavilion at almost the same time.
Lu Chen and Fu Bo personally greeted them at the door.
Fu Bo led everyone to the VIP area on the third floor of Xibao Pavilion and took their seats.
"Seniors, let me make a long story short, the reason why you are here today is because the branch of Xibao Pavilion in Changping City has encountered a life-and-death crisis, so I want to ask the three major families to help!" Lu Chen said straight to the point.
"My Lu family is personally led by Elder Taishang, and all the monks above the Jindan Great Perfection are dispatched!" said the head of the Lu family.
"My Cheng family is also personally led by Elder Taishang, and all the monks above the Jindan Great Perfection are dispatched!" said the head of the Cheng family.
"My Yang family is also personally led by the Supreme Elder, and all the monks above the Jindan Great Perfection are dispatched!" said the head of the Yang family.
"All the seniors helped each other, Lu Chen kept it in mind, if the three major families are in trouble in the future, I will do my best to take action at that time. Lu Chen's heart was moved, although the interests of the Xibao Pavilion and the three major families were related, but using the strength of the whole clan to fight against the Galaxy Sword Sect required extraordinary courage and determination.
"When this matter is over, the Xibao Pavilion will set up the position of the Supervision Envoy, and the Supervision Envoy will directly obey the orders of the Pavilion Master, and I would like to ask the three major families to recommend the candidates for these Supervision Envoys!" Lu Chen's move is equivalent to giving the three major families a reassurance, and the existence of the Supervision Envoy can ensure that the interests of the three major families in the Xibao Pavilion will not be greedy and transferred.
Sure enough, for Lu Chen's practice of repaying the favor, the elders and heads of the three major families all showed satisfied smiles.
