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

There was one force that was very happy about this disaster: the Pill and Weapon Sect.

Previously, because the Xu family destroyed the Seven Stars Sect, the Pill and Weapon Sect was afraid that the Xu family would also destroy them, so they were willing to sacrifice some interests to urgently move to the capital.

They used to live comfortably in the sect, but now that they've moved to the unfamiliar capital, they feel uncomfortable everywhere, and their development has been restricted. The sect's disciples and elders are full of complaints.

Unexpectedly, the Great Qi Dynasty was attacked by a large number of demonic cultivators.

Although their shops in various cities were robbed, their headquarters in the capital city escaped unscathed, and their overall strength only decreased slightly.

The Pill and Weapon Sect is now arguably the strongest second-rate force. If the Heavenly Palace Realm doesn't participate in the war, they could even defeat the Taixu Sect.

This made them extremely happy. No one complained anymore, and they all praised the elders and sect leader who made the decision to move.

The only thing they found regrettable was that their old rivals, the Xu family, suffered no losses in the disaster.

If they knew that even the Great Qi royal family wouldn't dare to provoke the Xu family now, they probably wouldn't have time to think and would immediately move to the Great Chu or the Black Feather Dynasty.

Besides being skilled in alchemy and weapon crafting, the Danqi Sect is also adept at fleeing and moving.

Compared to the Pill and Weapon Sect, the Lan family, another enemy of the Xu family, was not so lucky.

They had previously moved to a city in Liangbei County. This time, the demonic cultivators invaded, and they suffered heavy losses, almost wiping out their entire clan. There were very few of them left, and they had no chance or hope of rising again.

.....

Within Lingyue City, scenes of post-disaster reconstruction were everywhere, but the Xu family remained unchanged, still thriving and full of vitality.

Xu Qingzhou convened a meeting with the seven elders, and in addition to them, the three chosen ones were also present.

Xu Qingzhou asked curiously, "Xiao Luo, could you tell me about your trip to find outside help this time?"

He thought it was a sure thing, but he failed.

If it weren't for Elder Kong, the Xu family would have been in grave danger this time.

Xu Luo didn't hide anything and simply recounted the process.

"Which Buddhist sect did you go to? Your behavior is appalling! You took the gifts but didn't do anything!" the hot-tempered Third Elder roared.

Xu Luo replied, "Tianhua Temple is the closest to the three great dynasties. Although Tianhua Temple is far inferior to the Great Xia Dynasty and ranks only average among the many Buddhist sects, it is still a place that the three great dynasties look up to. There are many experts in the Integration Realm in the temple."

[I didn't know much about Tianhua Temple in my past life, only that it was the closest. I never expected to be tricked like this. Once I'm strong enough, I'll definitely get my revenge!!]

hiss! !

Upon hearing this, the elders were startled and gasped.

The strongest member of the Lingyue Sect, Su Xin, is only at the seventh level of the Heavenly Palace Realm, while the five Dharma Aspect members of the royal family are all below the fifth level.

Let alone the Integration Realm, even a random person at the eighth or ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm could easily sweep through the three great dynasties.

However, the three chosen ones present did not take Tianhua Temple seriously, especially Xu Muge.

[It's just Tianhua Temple, yet they dared to accept Brother Luo's gifts and not do anything in return. Once I reach the Integration Realm, I'll definitely go and challenge them!]

Xu Qingzhou chuckled inwardly.

Tianhua Temple, oh Tianhua Temple, of all people to swindle, you had to choose to swindle the chosen one.

Two words for you: Spicy and delicious!

At this moment, the Grand Elder suddenly asked, "What is Elder Kong's strength?"

Xu Chen shook his head. "I didn't ask."

"Elder Kong dealt with the royal family's Dharma Aspect Ancestor so quickly, he must be at least at the fifth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm," the Second Elder speculated.

Xu Luo said, "Based on my observation of Master, Elder Kong should be at least at the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, or even the Integration Realm."

With Lao Zai here, there's no need to worry about the Xu family's safety for the time being. You can go and seek opportunities with peace of mind.

The elders were thrilled.

The ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm! With such a powerful figure protecting the Xu family, their future development will definitely be much smoother.

Although they couldn't ask Elder Kong to help them eliminate a particular enemy, with Elder Kong in the Xu family, they weren't afraid of any enemies coming.

After chatting for a while, they started talking about serious matters.

Xu Qingzhou said, "The plan to open a branch of Zuixianlou can continue."

“Understood,” the Sixth Elder replied.

Previously, the Xu family lacked sufficient strength and influence, so Zuixianlou only opened branches in the cities of Huaidong County and Liangbei County.

Now, having gone through this ordeal, the Xu family's prestige has greatly increased. In addition, apart from the Xu family, Lingyue Sect, and Wanbao Pavilion, all the major and minor forces in the Great Qi Dynasty have suffered blows.

Within the territory of the Great Qi Dynasty, no force dared to provoke the Xu family, not even the royal family.

Therefore, it's time for Zuixianlou branches to open throughout the entire Great Qi Dynasty, just like Wanbaoge.

The intelligence system linked to Zuixianlou also needs to be developed simultaneously.

Xu Qingzhou asked, "What is the current situation in the Demon Cloud Mountains?"

Ever since the leader of Kuangfeng Village attacked the Xu family, the Xu family established a bandit suppression team and used the entire Demon Cloud Mountain Range as a training ground. It has been more than ten years now, and I wonder how it is going.

Xu Chen, who had been with the bandit suppression team for the past few years, replied: "Originally, there were hundreds of mountain strongholds of all sizes in the Demon Cloud Mountains, and together with the bandits, there were hundreds of thousands of them. They were basically from the three major dynasties."

"Thanks to the tireless efforts of the bandit suppression team, only about twenty mountain strongholds remain. They have formed an alliance to fight against the bandit suppression team. Because there are several experts at the Nascent Soul Realm, we have not attacked them rashly."

Although there were many bandits in the Demon Cloud Mountains, they could not withstand the onslaught of the bandit-suppression squad.

The bandit suppression team has grown from the initial fifteen members at the Nascent Soul Realm to the current seventy-five at the Profound Core Realm. As long as there are no members at the Primordial Spirit Realm, the bandit suppression team can easily sweep through the enemy lines.

Whenever someone at the Nascent Soul Realm made a move against them, Shangguan Zhuo, lurking in the shadows, would easily deal with them.

This was a certain death situation for the bandits.

Mountain strongholds without members at the Nascent Soul Realm were easily overrun by the bandit suppression team. Strongholds with members at the Nascent Soul Realm could repel the bandit suppression team, but dared not kill them.

Frustrated and helpless.

Therefore, over time, the number of bandits in the Demon Cloud Mountains naturally decreased, some were killed, and some ran away on their own.

Xu Qingzhou was somewhat disappointed.

"With only so many bandits left, and they've even formed an alliance, they've lost their value as training grounds."

Xu Muge volunteered, "Tomorrow, Brother Luo and I will take some men and take care of them all."

Xu Muge and Xu Luo are both at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm. As long as they don't encounter a peak of the Primordial Spirit realm or an overly powerful late-stage Primordial Spirit realm expert, they can handle it.

The Demon Cloud Mountains have cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm, but they are mostly at the early or mid-stages, with late-stage cultivators being very rare.

Therefore, with them leading the way, completely annihilating the Demon Cloud Mountains is not a problem.

Xu Qingzhou nodded, quite reassured about the two of them.
