Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Ji Dongfang gazed in the direction where the flying boat had disappeared, unable to calm down for a long time.

The overwhelming pressure he had just experienced made him tremble all over. Yet, even such a powerful expert was powerless against the Xu family, which showed just how strong the Xu family was.

"Just how far has the Xu family developed? That they have to face such a powerful enemy."

At this moment, Ji Dongfang, like the residents of Yunshan City, felt a sense of relief, as if they had survived a catastrophe.

That's just how the world is. Ordinary people can die from the aftershocks of a battle between powerful people even if they haven't done anything wrong, just because they're unlucky.

It took Ji Dongfang quite a while to come to his senses.

He decided that he must cultivate good relations with the remaining branches of the Xu family in Yunshan City, and even treat them like grandfathers.

.....

Su Xin and several of the strongest elders of the Lingyue Sect split up to hunt down the elders of the Taixu Sect. Unfortunately, in the end, only Su Xin killed the one he was chasing. The other two Taixu Sect elders were only injured and escaped.

After all, they are all experts at the Heavenly Palace Realm. In a one-on-one fight, if the other party is determined to escape, it will be very difficult to stop them.

After they returned to the Lingyue Sect, the other elders quickly learned about it as well.

Su Xin said with some regret, "It's a pity that four old guys from the Taixu Sect came this time, but only two of them stayed."

The other elders were all beaming with joy.

"It's already a great deal that the Taixu Sect lost two Heavenly Palace Realm experts."

"Yes, the other two were also seriously injured and will need to go into seclusion for at least ten years to recover. The Taixu Sect has suffered heavy losses this time."

The Lingyue Sect and the Taixu Sect have been fighting for many years, with each side having its victories and defeats. However, even when they won in the past, it was only a minor victory.

This was the only time we achieved a resounding victory.

"Junior Brother Su's future son-in-law is truly remarkable; with just one scheme, he inflicted a heavy blow on the Taixu Sect."

"His greatest strength lies in persuading the Wanbaoge, which has always been neutral. Without their help, the Taixu Sect should have been able to retreat easily, and at most they would have caught a few small fry this time."

Su Xin remained calm, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

When Xu Qingzhou and Su Xinyan's relationship was first exposed, Su Xin was very sad and often went to other elders to drink and complain.

After hearing about Xu Qingzhou's situation, the elders, like Su Xin, looked down on him, thinking that he had average talent, average background, and average ability.

Su Xin had no choice; his daughter liked him.

The other elders also understood that, in order to appease his feelings, they chose to forcefully praise Xu Qingzhou.

Su Xin was naturally aware of this as well.

But now, these elders are praising him sincerely.

After all, their Lingyue Sect and Taixu Sect had fought for so long, but they had never won by such a large margin as this time.

They all genuinely acknowledged Xu Qingzhou's abilities.

They didn't even seem to be stopping; they kept praising.

“Junior Brother Su previously said that Xu Qingzhou’s talent was mediocre, and that he was only at the Profound Core Realm at the same age as Xin Yan. But after meeting him this time, I discovered that he has already reached the Perfect Purple Mansion Realm. This is far from mediocre talent. Junior Brother Su is too modest.”

"If someone at his age who has reached the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm is considered to have mediocre talent, then he is simply not talented at all."

Su Xin chuckled and said, "He was indeed at the Profound Core Realm before, but I didn't expect his cultivation to have increased so quickly in the past few years."

"Perhaps he was in a small town with limited resources, or he is a typical late bloomer."

"Yep."

The senior and junior brothers praised Xu Qingzhou so much that Su Xin felt embarrassed. He happily took out his treasured wine and drank with them.

At this time, the Xu family members also returned to Lingyue City safely.

On the flying boat, Xu Qingzhou had already taken stock of the spoils of war. It has to be said that the wealth of eight Purple Mansion Realm cultivators and ten Nascent Soul Realm cultivators was truly astonishing. It was a pity that he hadn't gotten his hands on the two Heavenly Palace Realm storage treasures from the Taixu Sect.

Xu Qingzhou informed the elders.

"You should arrange for people to spread this news, but don't mention that the Taixu Sect was also involved. Just say that the Lan Family's Seven Star Sect and the Pill and Weapon Sect are involved."

This is like killing someone by destroying their spirit. It's not enough to just kill you physically; you have to make a huge scene and embarrass you again.

At the same time, it was also to let the enemies of these three forces know that these three forces had been severely weakened because of this incident, and that it was a good time to cause them trouble.

As for why the Taixu Sect wasn't mentioned, it was mainly to conceal the fact that the Wanbao Pavilion also got involved.

After all, Wanbaoge is still neutral on the surface. Since they are willing to cooperate this time, Xu Qingzhou can't sell them out.

They believed that even if they didn't bring it up, the Taixu Sect wouldn't take the initiative to address the matter, as they didn't want to lose face.

Thanks to the Xu family's vigorous promotion.

Soon, news spread throughout Lingyue City that the Lan family had lost eight Purple Mansion experts, and that the Seven Star Sect and the Pill and Weapon Sect had each lost five Nascent Soul experts, causing an uproar and sparking much discussion.

"My God! Is this for real?"

"It's true, the Lan family has already started selling off their assets and running away."

"The Lan family, a third-rate power, only has a dozen or so Purple Mansion cultivators. Now, eight of them have perished. Isn't that the end for them?"

"The Danqi Sect is most skilled in alchemy and weapon crafting. There are already few strong individuals in the sect, and now five Nascent Soul Realm experts have perished. They must be furious."

"The Xu family is really ruthless."

"They can only blame themselves for being too stupid. They knew that the Xu family was backed by the Lingyue Sect, yet they still insisted on making a move. They were courting death."

Just as Xu Qingzhou had expected, the Taixu Sect remained silent, as if they were merely bystanders who had not participated in the events.

The moment the powerful members of the Xu family who were lying in ambush died, the soul lamps they left in their families and sects went out.

However, their clansmen and fellow disciples still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that something might have happened and that the person was definitely alright.

Even now, with the whole city in an uproar, they have no choice but to believe it.

The Lan family's eldest elder coughed up blood on the spot and then ordered the Lan family to sell their property and move out of Lingyue City.

After all, the Lan family is now severely weakened and can no longer be considered a third-rate power. If they continue to stay in Lingyue City, they will most likely be devoured and divided up by other forces.

After the Lan family fled in panic, most of their businesses in Lingyue City were taken over by the Xu family.

Other forces, though envious, dared not attempt to seize it. The Lan family served as a cautionary tale, and could only watch helplessly as the Xu family swallowed up this enormous fortune.

The Xu family didn't keep everything for themselves; they also shared some with Wanbaoge, since they had contributed as well, and this was something that had been agreed upon beforehand.

The Pill and Weapon Sect also moved out of Lingyue City. Although the income of the Pill and Weapon Sect shops in Lingyue City had shrunk a lot compared to before, they could still barely keep operating.

Now that Elder Zhang, who was guarding the shop, has passed away, and the reputation of the Pill and Weapon Sect has plummeted, the shop can no longer stay open. It would be better to close it down and focus on shops in other cities.

This incident made the Xu family a fortune, while the four forces that were tricked by him all suffered heavy losses.

Now they wish they could tear the entire Xu family to pieces.
