Chapter 2014

These words were too frivolous. When Ji Yang heard it, he immediately scolded him.

"How dare you! Do you know who is in front of you? This is Madam Du, the owner of the Ghost Parade. How dare you speak rudely to her? "

The owner of the Ghost Parade?

Astonishment flickered in the depths of Gu Chen's eyes, but he responded calmly and bowed slightly.

"Oh, it's Madam Du. My apologies."

"It doesn't matter. Fellow Daoist is a straightforward person. You're much better than those people who seem refined on the surface but are actually filthy in their hearts."

Madam Du covered her mouth and chuckled. She didn't say much to Gu Chen and walked past him.

Ji Yang paid no more attention to Gu Chen. He walked the distinguished guest all the way to the entrance of the store. After watching her leave, he turned around and returned.

"Why are you still here?"

Ji Yang said unhappily when he saw that Gu Chen and Madam Du had not left.

"Fellow Ji, we sincerely want to do business with you. Why do you keep us at a distance? As the saying goes, one more friend is better than one more enemy. Don't you think so? "

Gu Chen glanced at Ji Yang in a flat tone. Just a glance was enough to make Ji Yang tremble inexplicably.

Was this a threat?

This guy didn't seem simple!

Ji Yang thought of his attitude just now. It was indeed a slight. As a middleman, he had to make peace. If the person in front of him really had a powerful background, it wouldn't be good to offend him.

Thinking of this, Ji Yang's expression softened a lot. He extended his hand and invited them in.

"Please take a seat upstairs."

Gu Chen and the Great Prophet didn't stand on ceremony. They went upstairs, sat down, and started talking.

"May I know your name?"

Ji Yang's tone became much more courteous, and there was no trace of the disdain he had before.

"My surname is Zhao, and my first name is Chou. This is Ding Yanqing, Fellow Ding."

Gu Chen casually gave himself and the Great Prophet aliases. The Great Prophet sat quietly at the side and didn't say anything. It seemed that everything was under Gu Chen's control.

"Oh, it's Fellow Zhao and Fellow Ding."

Ji Yang nodded, but in his heart, he had never heard of these two people's names. As expected, they were unremarkable nobodies.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao said earlier that you have a big business to discuss with me. What kind of big business is it?"

Ji Yang asked casually. He no longer held any hope for the big business Gu Chen had mentioned.

"I need a large number of slaughter weapons, the more the better. Price is not a problem!"

Gu Chen said casually, causing Ji Yang's expression to turn serious at first.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, are you serious? With the channels I have, the weapons I can provide are enough to support a dynasty level war. That Dao crystal is not a small amount. "Ji Yang asked seriously.

"If Fellow Daoist Ji didn't have this ability, I wouldn't have come looking for you."

Gu Chen's expression was calm. Ji Yang looked at him and sighed. He admitted that he had misjudged him and almost let a big business deal slip away.

"Alright, since Fellow Daoist Zhao is so confident, I can introduce you to a few sellers. However, these sellers are not simple. If you want them to agree to meet you, Fellow Daoist Zhao will need to provide proof of your wealth," Ji Yang explained.

"How do I prove it?" Gu Chen asked.

"That's simple. A large number of Dao crystals are not easy to circulate. Most of them are stored in the Crystal Bank under the Nine Major Dao Courts. If Fellow Daoist Zhao has this kind of wealth, you must have your own account in the Crystal Bank. I can find out with a simple check. "

Hearing this, Gu Chen shook his head. "Is there any other way?"

He knew about the existence of the Crystal Bank. As an amalgamation of countless forces, there were not many organizations directly under the Nine Major Dao Courts. The Crystal Bank was one of them.

Dao crystals could help cultivators in the Dao World increase their cultivation, and they were also a form of hard currency. One could imagine how important they were in the Dao World.

The Crystal Bank under the Nine Major Dao Courts monopolized the rights to mine and distribute Dao crystals. Thus, in the Nine Mountains and Seas of the Dao World, no matter which force it was, would inevitably have dealings with the Crystal Bank.

Whether it was the Imperial Treasury of the Pei Dynasty or the Modest Pavilion, Gu Chen had accounts in the Crystal Bank.

Given the power of a dynasty, as long as one reported one's name, the proof of one's wealth could be easily passed.

However, Gu Chen had come to Ji Yang with ulterior motives. He naturally couldn't report his Crystal Bank account and give Ji Yang a chance to find out who he was!

"Of course there are other ways. After all, this is the Ghost Parade."

Ji Yang smiled knowingly. Most of the transactions carried out in the Secluded Parade were shady, and the Tao Crystals used to buy and sell were often stolen money, so there were many people who were unwilling to handle the Crystal Line, so Gu Chen's attitude was not strange.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you can choose a place in the Second Mountain and Sea. I'll personally send someone to verify the transaction."

The second method suggested by Ji Yang was much more flexible. Gu Chen nodded after hearing it. "Alright, let's do that."

The two of them discussed the specific time and place to meet in the real world. Once the verification was approved, Ji Yang would immediately arrange for the seller to sit down with Gu Chen and discuss business.

Everything was settled. Thinking about the sizable commission he would receive once the transaction was concluded, Ji Yang was in a very good mood.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, was that Madam Du really the owner of the Ghost Parade?"

Gu Chen asked casually as the two of them talked harmoniously.

"Of course. The Ghost Parade was originally created by the Fiendish Devil Saint, who was a famous figure in the Dark World.

"However, thirty years ago, the Fiendish Devil Saint suddenly passed away for unknown reasons, and the Ghost Parade was inherited by his widow, Madam Du.

"Don't underestimate Madam Du just because she's a woman. After she took over the Ghost Parade, it developed even better. It's all thanks to Madam Du that I am able to reach my current position."

Ji Yang didn't hide anything, and even intentionally revealed his relationship with Madam Du.

Madam Du was the owner of the Ghost Parade, so her words carried the most authority, and were the most trustworthy.

The foundation of a middleman was his reputation. With Madam Du's golden name, he would be able to make a lot of money, and gain the trust of both the buyer and the seller.

"I didn't know Fellow Ji had such a close relationship with Madam Du. Since you're the owner of the Nether Parade, it's always good to get to know each other. I wonder if Fellow Ji can introduce me to her?" Gu Chen said with slight envy.

"Haha, that's easy," Ji Yang replied straightforwardly. "Once the transaction is completed, I'll find an opportunity."

Ji Yang's reply was straightforward, but he left a caveat.

Madam Du was a beauty capable of causing the downfall of nations, and she also owned the Ghost Parade. There were many people who wanted to meet her.

Although Ji Yang had some connections, he didn't dare to introduce her to just anyone.

Not directly rejecting Gu Chen was already giving him face. If Gu Chen could really bring him generous rewards, it wouldn't be too late to consider this problem.

"Alright, it's a deal."

Gu Chen smiled, and didn't seem to mind. Very soon, both the host and the guest were happy, and Gu Chen and the Great Prophet bade farewell and left.

After leaving Ji Yang's territory, the Great Prophet stroked his beard and asked, "Where are we going next?"

"We're not going anywhere. We've already found our target."

The smile that Gu Chen maintained earlier disappeared, and his gaze turned ice-cold.

"That woman?"

The Great Prophet muttered. Gu Chen's previous conversation seemed casual, but he had set up many traps to get information from Ji Yang.

From Ji Yang's reply, it could be deduced that he wasn't from Qiankun Group. Or rather, he was indirectly helping Qiankun Group, just that he didn't know.

This was in line with Qiankun Group's style of doing things. And from Gu Chen's reaction when he saw that woman, as well as his subsequent question, Gu Chen had already guessed that this woman wasn't ordinary!

"That's right, this woman isn't Madam Du. Her real name is Medusa, and she comes from Chaos Sea just like me!"

Gu Chen didn't hide anything, and told him the truth.

He had never expected to see Medusa again in a place like the Ghost Parade. Back then, she was Fang Yuan's trusted aide in Chaos Sea, so the moment he saw her, Gu Chen knew that he didn't need to waste any effort on others.

Truly, one could wear out iron shoes in fruitless searching only to find it by chance. He and Medusa had a lot of karma that needed to be severed!
