Chapter 100: The Fire Dragon Burns the Warehouse! Back and Forth!
As soon as this was said, the elders of other clans also echoed it, and each of them showed indignation on their faces.
They sat together and discussed how to deal with the current predicament.
One of the elders had a sinister look in his eyes and suggested in a deep voice: "The only solution now is to destroy the snowflake salt so that they can't sell it."
"In this way, we can cut off Ye Chi's financial resources! Then we can find a way to steal the production formula and master the secret of refined salt, so that we can turn the tide!"
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
They thought this plan was brilliant as it could not only solve the current predicament but also pave the way for future development!
Therefore, the elders of each major clan immediately decided to arrange this matter.
They have clear division of labor and each is responsible for a part of the task.
Some were responsible for sending people to sneak into the Snowflake Salt workshop to cause damage, while others were responsible for bribing the people around Ye Chi in order to obtain the formula for making refined salt!
A conspiracy against Snowflake Salt quietly unfolded.
The clan elders were filled with anger and unwillingness, and vowed to make Ye Chi pay a heavy price!
They believed that as long as they destroyed the Snowflake Salt, Ye Chi would no longer be able to compete with them.
By then, the entire Salt City will be back under their control!!
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong. Dark clouds covered the moon and the stars were dim.
Each clan secretly sent their trusted aides to sneak into the deepest parts of the city, aiming directly at the Snowflake Salt Workshop.
The purpose of this trip is not for any other purpose, but to break into their granaries and destroy their stockpiled goods to relieve the hatred in my heart!
As light as a swallow and holding torches, they pried open the side door of the workshop silently.
The door opened, revealing several gloomy warehouses inside!
They smiled at each other, with a hint of cunning and expectation in their eyes, as if they had foreseen the scene of the snowflake salt turning into nothing!
However, when the door of the warehouse was opened and the firelight shone inside, what everyone saw was not the mountains of snowflake salt as they had expected.
All I could see were piles of sacks filled with salt grains of lower quality than well salt, dull and full of impurities!
Everyone was shocked and looked at each other, with doubts in their hearts.
A clan leader couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice: "Where is the snowflake salt? Why are there only these disgusting things?!"
The other man frowned and pondered. Under the light of the torch, his expression was uncertain: "Could it be that the workshop owner had already prepared for this and hid the snowflake salt somewhere else?!"
Someone else shook his head and sighed, "Impossible. Our actions were secretive, how could they know about it in advance? There must be something fishy going on."
Everyone was talking about it, but no one could figure it out.
They originally thought that this trip would be a great success, but they did not expect to encounter such an unexpected change.
The existence of inferior salt grains in the warehouse seemed to be the biggest mockery of their plans.
For a moment, the air was filled with disappointment and anger.
The confidants of each clan looked at each other in silence, but their hearts were surging.
They knew that this trip had failed. Not only did they fail to destroy the stock of the Snowflake Salt Workshop, but they also exposed their own intentions.
When everyone was feeling sad, one person suddenly had a look of determination in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Now that things have come to this, we cannot return empty-handed. Even if these salt grains are of poor quality, we must destroy them all to vent our hatred!"
As soon as these words were spoken, anger rekindled in everyone's eyes.
They nodded in agreement, then began to open the sacks in the warehouse one by one and sprinkle the inferior salt grains on the ground.
In the light of the fire, the salt grains flickered dimly, as if they were sighing for their failure!
The clan leader was furious and stared at the pile of inferior salt in front of him, as if it was a symbol of all his humiliation and failure.
Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and ordered: "Destroy it!!"
Upon hearing this, the clan members immediately took action. They first set it on fire, and the inferior salt grains crackled in the flames, as if they were making their final wail.
Then, they poured water to put out the fire. The salt grains completely disappeared in the alternation of cold and heat, turning into a mess!
However, this did not satisfy the clan leader at all.
The rage in his eyes was already burning fiercely, as if it was going to set the entire night on fire.
He took a deep breath and ordered, "Continue to search the snowflake salt workshops in the city! We must find the missing snowflake salt!"
In the darkness of night, the clan members once again shuttled through the dark alleys like ghosts!
They broke into the house using the same method, but the result left them extremely disappointed!
In every workshop and warehouse, the snowflake salt disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed!
Only the inferior salt grains were left, scattered all over the ground like a mockery, stinging their eyes!!
The leader saw this and gnashed his teeth in anger.
He finally gave the order: "Destroy everything!!"
His voice was filled with endless disappointment and anger, as if it was going to tear the entire night sky apart.
The clan members silently carried out the order and destroyed the inferior salt grains one by one.
Afterwards, they quietly withdrew with anger and unwillingness in their hearts.
After a stick of incense, the clan leader hurried back to the clan mansion alone in the night.
Deep in the garden, the halls were brightly lit, and the leaders of various clans gathered together, ready for battle.
Upon hearing that their leader had returned, everyone came forward and asked anxiously about the situation.
The leader's face was livid, and he reported in a deep voice: "All workshops and warehouses are empty, and the snowflake salt has disappeared!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and looked at each other with even more doubts!
Someone murmured in disbelief: "How could this be? Where did the snowflake salt go?"
Someone else looked at the leader with doubt: "Could it be that our intelligence is wrong? Or do the workshop owners really have the ability to predict the future?"
Amid the discussion, one person suddenly questioned, "Could it be that someone leaked the news? Or is there a traitor among us?!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and looked at each other with suspicion!
The leader frowned and shouted to everyone, "This is not the time to be suspicious of each other! We must find out the truth as soon as possible and get back the lost snowflake salt."
He scanned everyone's faces, and finally fixed his gaze on a wise man in the clan: "What do you think?"
The think tank figure pondered for a moment and slowly said: "This matter is very strange. In my opinion, we might as well start with the low-quality salt to trace the clues. Maybe we can follow the clues to find the whereabouts of the snowflake salt."
The leader nodded and said, "That makes sense. We will immediately send someone to secretly investigate the source of the inferior salt!"
His words revealed unquestionable majesty and determination!
A secret war against the theft of snowflake salt is about to begin!
Just at this moment, a clan member ran back to the mansion breathlessly, his panicked look revealing a deep sense of uneasiness.
He knelt down in front of the leaders with a plop, and said in a tearful voice: "Reporting to the leaders, something terrible has happened! All our warehouses in the city have been destroyed, and all the stockpiled goods have been burned to the ground!"
These words were like a bolt from the blue. All the leaders were shocked and their faces turned pale in an instant!
They looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief and horror!
The warehouse was destroyed and all the stockpiled goods were lost. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the clan! !
