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

Xu Qingzhou and the others understood that Chu Zhengtian would definitely not let this go easily and would probably stay outside the poisonous fog, waiting for them to come out before making a move.

But Xu Qingzhou remained calm; at worst, he would simply use the teleportation platform.

Within the poisonous fog, the land was barren and devoid of any vegetation.

After all, even experts at the Heavenly Palace Realm couldn't withstand this poisonous fog, and only a handful of plants and animals could survive here.

The further they went into the middle, the thicker the poisonous fog became, and their spiritual senses were restricted there.

Xu Luo then took out some antidote pills and handed them to them.

Fearing something strange might be lurking in the poisonous fog, they did not proceed at full speed, but instead advanced cautiously and slowly.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they arrived at the center of the poisonous fog and saw the spirit pool, which was about thirty feet long and wide and very deep.

The purple poisonous fog floating in the air here is almost liquefied.

Surprisingly, the water in the pool was a normal color and had no toxicity whatsoever; it was just a bit more viscous than normal water.

Xu Luo's eyes lit up.

"This is it, let's go in quickly."

He just finished speaking.

"thump!"

Little Gray was the first to jump in and began swimming happily in the water.

Shangguan Zhuo stayed by the pool and did not go down, because the water in the spirit pool was not of much use to experts above the Heavenly Palace Realm.

They jumped into the spirit pool. Xu Luo and his two companions were on the left, Xu Qingzhou and his two companions were on the right, and Xiao Hui was in the middle.

They then took a few more detoxifying pills, closed their eyes, concentrated on their practice, and fully absorbed the spiritual energy in the water.

By this time, the injured Ninth Prince had returned to the Great Qi Dynasty. Because there were many spectators at the time, news of his battle with Xu Qingzhou at Luomuling quickly spread throughout the dynasty.

This immediately caused an uproar and sparked much discussion.

"Xu Qingzhou is hiding his talent so well! He has such extraordinary talent, yet he has kept it a secret all this time, and no one knew about it."

"Everyone thinks Xu Qingzhou is just a freeloader, but little do they know, it's entirely due to Su Xin and Yu Tianzhuo's discerning eye that he's discovered his talent. After all, a prodigy like Xu Qingzhou is destined to stand at the pinnacle of the three great dynasties in the future!"

"That makes sense; we are just too superficial."

"So the most extraordinary talent in the Xu family is actually the patriarch!!"

"You've all overlooked a key point: Xu Qingzhou actually dared to plot against the Ninth Prince! What does this mean? It means the Xu family is no longer afraid of the royal family."

"Hiss! Is the Xu family about to rebel?!"

Lu Qingqiu, who was in Yuhe City, also learned of this. At this moment, she was in a daze, staring blankly into the distance through the window.

She had already suffered a blow on Xu Qingzhou's wedding day, but she could barely accept it.

This attack has now completely crushed them.

The person she once looked down upon has now trampled the person she admired and looked up to underfoot.

This was difficult for her to accept for a while, and she was on the verge of a mental breakdown, constantly doubting and denying herself.

Luomu Ridge, in the poisonous mist of the spirit pool.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Qingzhou and the others gradually awoke from their seclusion.

You could tell from the smiles on their faces that they had all benefited greatly.

Although their cultivation levels did not improve significantly, their physical physiques improved dramatically, resulting in a substantial increase in their combat power compared to before.

Especially for Su Xinyan, after being nourished by this spiritual pool, the physique and aptitude of the fetus in her womb will definitely be improved to a higher level.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, Little Gray emerged from underwater, swam to Xu Qingzhou, and opened its mouth.

Xu Qingzhou saw a yellowish-brown bead in its mouth and took it out.

"Huh? This is a demon beast's inner core?!"

Su Xinyan exclaimed in surprise, "The energy contained within is so powerful, it must belong to that great demon."

Xu Qingzhou rubbed Xiao Hui's head.

"Well done."

Little Gray tilted its head back, looking quite pleased with itself.

They have now completely absorbed the great demon blood energy contained within the spirit pool.

The originally viscous pool water has now become no different from ordinary water, and even the inner core of the demon beast that had sunk to the bottom of the pool has been taken out by Xiao Hui.

They've taken advantage of this opportunity, it's time for us to leave.

Xu Qingzhou took out the teleportation jade platform.

"let's go."

They could have left normally, but Chu Zhengtian, who was lying in wait outside the poisonous fog, forced them to waste a trump card for survival.

The group stood on the teleportation jade platform. After activation, their figures vanished instantly, and the one-time teleportation jade platform crumbled and shattered.

The teleportation platform was used for random teleportation. Xu Qingzhou and his group were lucky; they were teleported to the vicinity of an ordinary city in the Black Feather Dynasty. After identifying their direction, they successfully returned to Lingyue City.

Meanwhile, Chu Zhengtian and his group were still guarding outside the poisonous fog, hoping to teach Xu Qingzhou and his group a lesson once they came out.

As it turned out, Xu Qingzhou had already arrived home and started enjoying himself.

And so, more than half a month passed in anxious waiting.

Chu Zhengtian's patience had run out.

"Even if they've made enough antidotes, it's been half a month; they should be out by now!!"

The Heavenly Palace expert beside him hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Your Highness, is it possible that they have already left in some way?"

Chu Zhengtian suddenly turned his head to look at him.

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Ultimately, Chu Zhengtian had no choice but to leave with his men. After returning to the capital of the Great Chu, he immediately arranged for someone to meet with the Third Prince of the Great Qi, wanting to find out the identities of Xu Qingzhou and his companions, and then take revenge on them severely.

After all, he had never suffered such a great loss in his life.

But after seeing Xu Qingzhou's detailed information, he suddenly hesitated.

The son-in-law of Su Xin, the former sect leader of Lingyue Sect and now the strongest Supreme Elder, and the son-in-law of Yu Tianzhuo, the head of Wanbaoge Pavilion.

These two identities are secondary.

After all, the royal families of Great Chu and Great Qi are both top-tier powers, and they have nothing to fear even if two first-rate powers are combined.

The key point is that before going to Luomu Ridge, Xu Qingzhou fought with the Ninth Prince, and Xu Qingzhou easily crushed the Ninth Prince.

Given the status of the Qi royal family within the dynasty, the Ninth Prince and the Qi royal family acted as if nothing had happened and did not react to the Xu family in any way.

What does this mean?

This suggests that the royal family is likely wary of the Xu family and dares not touch the Xu family or Xu Qingzhou.

Chu Zhengtian is not stupid; in fact, he has a keen sense of the big picture.

He originally intended to take revenge on Xu Qingzhou and the Xu family, but this point made him choose to give up.

It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

It wouldn't be too late to find out the truth and take revenge on Xu Qingzhou after his cousin, the third prince of the Great Qi Dynasty, successfully becomes the crown prince, or even ascends the throne.
