Immortality from plundering luck

Chapter 113 Taiming Tianzong, Youyun Peak's 'Young Master'

Xuzhou County is thousands of miles away from Taining County.

Xuzhou County is a very old city.

Xuzhou County City is a very old city, divided into inner city and outer city. The outer city is the largest and occupies two-thirds of the place where people live.

The inner city is where the powerful officials and their families live. Just in terms of housing prices, there is a huge difference between it and the outer city.

Xuzhou County City, as an ancient city with a history of thousands of years, now has a total population of more than 13 million.

This is almost equivalent to the total population of Dongyang County and Taining County, which are now under the jurisdiction of the Yanmo Gang.

Not only that, the number of warriors among this population of more than 13 million is far higher than that of other counties in Xuzhou.

According to Wu Xuefei, there are nearly ten Jade Liquid Realm warriors in Xuzhou County, and as for True Qi Realm warriors, there are hundreds or even thousands of them.

Families large and small have millions of warriors!
However, even such a huge force did not bring much peace to Xuzhou County.

Over the past thousands of years, these families have been constantly changing.

Although the name of the five great families has always been there, their members have been constantly changing. Except for the An family and the Wu family, the other three families have only replaced the original three families and become one of the new five great families in the past hundred years.

The number of people alone has exceeded that of a county. Over the past thousands of years, it has accumulated many families, among which the five major families today are outstanding representatives.

It can be said that each of these five major families has at least one warrior in the Jade Liquid Realm.

The An family, which ranks first, openly has two Jade Liquid Realm warriors.

According to rumors, the current head of the An family, An Lan, is a seventh-level Jade Liquid Realm expert, and is known as the strongest man in Xuzhou along with Wu Longjiang, the head of the Wu family.

The inner city of Xuzhou County, although called the inner city, is actually not small in area. It is divided into four major areas according to its location: east, west, south and north.

Among them, the An family is located in the northern region, while the Wu family is located in the southern region.

Throughout the years, the title "North An and South Wu" has often been circulated.

Not only these two warriors at the seventh level of Jade Liquid Realm, but also the An family and the Wu family behind them, all represent the strongest fighting force in Xuzhou.

Their decision almost determined the fate of Xuzhou.

Xuzhou County City, inner city, in the northern area.

The An family mansion covers an area of ​​hundreds of acres.
Rather than a mansion, it is more like a city within a city.

The tall outer wall separates Anshi from the outside world.
Strong gates and guards were built around the city within the city.
There is a team of warriors patrolling at regular intervals, and the captains of these patrols are all warriors in the Qi realm.

A warrior at the True Qi Realm is a big shot who can walk around with his eyes closed in Xuzhou County. Even in the now booming Yanmo Gang, a warrior at the True Qi Realm is enough to enter the Martial Pavilion and become the core force of the elders. However, in the An family, he can only serve as the captain of the patrol team.

This one item alone is enough to widen the gap between the An family and other families.

Of course, the business that can support so many Qi realm warriors is all controlled by the An family, which is the extremely important salt and iron business.

Salt and iron are extremely important to human survival, and the same is true for a city. Controlling salt and iron can be said to be controlling the lifeblood of a city.

Although the An family did not dare to do such excessive things with salt and iron, controlling salt and iron also meant extremely substantial profits.

Every day, hundreds and thousands of silver coins are sent to the An family's vault.

This is why the An family can afford to support so many warriors, and such strict defense measures can show the strength and foundation of the An family.

Above the east gate of this "city within a city" in the inner city hangs a plaque with two large characters "Ancheng" written in gilded fonts!
The most central location in Ancheng is the residence of An Lan, the head of the An family.

As the strongest person in Xuzhou at present, An Lan can be said to be the local emperor of Xuzhou, and his words can decide the lives of tens of millions of people.

However, such a distinguished person was now sitting in the vice-seat in the conference room, accompanying and talking.

Sitting on the main seat was a tall young man with handsome features but a sinister expression.

His eyebrows were thick, like two swords piercing into the bones, and his thin lips under his protruding hooked nose made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

The tall young man was dressed in black, his eyes were as cold as sharp blades, and whenever he looked at other people, he made people feel a strong sense of oppression.

There were two people standing behind him, both dressed in black tights. They looked at An Lan expressionlessly, without any emotion in their eyes. But just staring made An Lan feel alert.

"Young Master, what mission do you have this time?" An Lan calmed down and said with a smile: "If there is a need for us to settle down, we will do our best to complete it." The tall young man called 'Young Master' held a teacup in his hand and smiled: "I have a mission arranged by the Law Enforcement Hall. The target happens to be in Xuzhou, but it has not been found yet. The sect does not have many people here, so..."

"So you're looking for someone." An Lan exhaled softly, smiling as he said, "I understand. Young Master, just provide some clues, and I'll order all the men to start looking for him right away!"

At this point, he vowed, "As long as he is in Xuzhou, my An family will definitely find him and will never delay the young master's important matter!"

An Lan dared not take it lightly.

This young master is the only legitimate son of the master of Youyun Peak of Taiming Tianzong, to which their An family is affiliated.

The reason why their An family has been able to develop so rapidly in the past few decades is all because of Youyun Peak. Any benefit that Youyun Peak brings out is enough to greatly benefit these aristocratic families.

"Haha," the young master smiled a few times, very satisfied with An Lan's attitude, and said, "Don't worry, if you really find it, you will certainly get some benefits."

An Lan suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, lowered his head quickly, and said respectfully: "Young Master, rest assured, our An family will do our best!"

"Very good." The young master nodded with satisfaction.

"Young Master," An Lan hesitated for a while, and finally said slowly: "My son has been practicing for a few years now, I wonder..."

His youngest son, An Tianling, has been gifted since childhood, and happened to have the connection with Youyun Peak. In order to avoid delaying the talent of his own son, An Lan sent him to study under Youyun Peak of Taiming Tianzong. It has been more than ten years now.

Except for a few letters at the beginning, there was almost no news later on.

An Lan was not worried about the safety of his young son. After all, Taiming Tianzong was the most top-notch sect in the Eastern Realm. The most powerful sect in the Northern Territory, Haotian Palace, was slightly inferior to it.

How could anything go wrong in a sect like this?
But he had high hopes for his son, and now that he hadn't received any news for a long time, he was naturally a little worried.

The relationship between the An family and the Taiming Tianzong is somewhat improper.

An Lan's aunt, the daughter of the last An clan leader, was really beautiful and had the title of the most beautiful woman in Xuzhou. She happened to be encountered by the "young master" in front of him. The young master of Youyun Peak was attracted by her beauty at first sight and took her into his harem. The An family also relied on this to hold on to the strong thigh of Youyun Peak.

An Lan had no idea how powerful Taiming Tianzong was as the top force in the northern territory.

Even the exact strength of Youyun Peak was unknown to An Lan.

But he had heard a thing or two about the young master of Youyun Peak from his aunt.

You should know that the practice of martial artists is divided into ten major realms.

The mortal body, the true qi, the jade liquid, the elixir, the purple palace, the spiritual sea, the virtual god, the celestial river, the stars, the divine treasure, and eternity.

Among Xuzhou's population of hundreds of millions, there are no less than tens of millions of warriors, but among them, there are only a handful of warriors who can reach the Jade Liquid Realm.

This is the first echelon of Xuzhou warriors.

But the young master of Youyun Peak in front of him, although he is not yet a hundred years old, his strength has already reached the late fourth realm of warrior cultivation several years ago, and is steadily moving towards the fifth realm of warrior cultivation, the Purple Mansion Realm.

Even if this is magnified to the hundreds of states in the entire Dongji Realm, he can be considered as a top-notch cultivation talent.

As the head of the An family, An Lan is also aware of Dayong's current high-end combat power.

Not to mention anything else, the Qingzhou Qinglong Temple, which is thousands of miles away from here, is already considered a first-class force in Dayong.

But in Qinglong Temple, warriors in the Jade Liquid Realm are already considered the core combat force.

As for warriors in the Yuandan realm, there may be some in Qinglong Temple, but they definitely do not exceed a handful!
And they are all old and frail people who are two or three hundred years old.

The young master of Youyun Peak in front of him is not even a hundred years old, but he has already reached the pinnacle of Yuandan Realm.

The difference between them is as huge as the difference between heaven and earth!

What causes this gap is not only the innate aptitude for cultivation and the ability to understand cultivation, but also external factors such as acquired cultivation resources, the quality of the skills, and the guidance of famous teachers.

Even though the An family is considered the best in Xuzhou, it is as small as a drop in the ocean when compared to the entire Northern Territory. And compared with the Taiming Tianzong, which is the best even in the Eastern Territory, the difference is like heaven and earth!

So, taking this opportunity, An Lan sent his most beloved youngest son to Taiming Tianzong without thinking twice.

Young Master Wang Teng's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light. Although he had a smile on his face, it seemed that he was smiling from the outside. He said, "Don't worry. Since he has entered my Youyun Peak, he is like one of my own. What's more, we have this relationship. I will definitely take good care of him."

An Lan was still thinking about saying something, but seeing the impatience on Wang Teng's face, he closed his mouth awkwardly.
