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

At the Xu family's routine meeting.

The Sixth Elder looked worried and had lost some weight.

"Clan leader, our branch of Zuixianlou in the Eight Ancient Kingdom has recently encountered great obstruction."

"The initial estimate was that it would take four years to fully develop an ancient kingdom, but at the current pace, it might take more than ten years."

This was entirely expected.

After all, the Xu family's prodigy is ridiculously strong, so he will definitely be targeted. And it's not just a single force that's targeting him, but a joint effort from all of them. They didn't even discuss it beforehand, and they were already in perfect agreement.

They don't target you openly, but they use all sorts of underhanded tactics to make it impossible for your store to open or continue operating.

Unfortunately, the Xu family had no foundation in the other ancient kingdoms besides Wu Kingdom, so they were powerless against them.

"Besides Wuguo, how many branches have you opened now?" Xu Qingzhou asked.

The Sixth Elder replied, "We just opened more than fifty branches in Zheng, which is right next to Wu."

"Then let's suspend the plan for now. If these fifty stores can't keep going, they can also temporarily close down," Xu Qingzhou said helplessly.

There is nothing we can do about it.

If the Xu family didn't have three Shenque Mansion masters, they wouldn't even need a large force to intervene; a force like the You family could easily crush them.

The Sixth Elder sighed and nodded; that was all that could be done.

Fortunately, the Drunken Immortal Pavilion in Wu Kingdom is not in any major problems at present, and it has earned a lot of resources for the Xu family by relying on its high-quality spirit wine.

Xu Qingzhou then asked, "How are the Hidden Dragon Guards doing in the Eight Ancient Kingdoms?"

The Hidden Dragon Guards had long been dispersed and sent to the Eight Ancient Kingdoms for training. They were also the future of the Xu family. If they were targeted like the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, or even faced mortal danger, it would be even worse.

The Fifth Elder replied, "They are fine for now, since they were sent away a long time ago and their identities were all concealed."

Xu Qingzhou nodded with satisfaction.

Among the Hidden Dragon Guards, besides Xu Yan, quite a few members have emerged who have reached the Nascent Soul Realm, most of whom have reached the Purple Mansion Realm, with the fewest at the Profound Core Realm.

Once this group of clansmen has fully grown up, they will become an extremely powerful force.

Therefore, their safety and progress are of particular importance to the Xu family.

The meeting ended with everyone looking worried.

Xu Luo approached Xu Qingzhou alone and asked, "Sixth Uncle, do you know a clansman named Xu Qiufeng?"

After recalling for a moment, Xu Qingzhou shook his head and said, "I don't know, what's wrong with him?"

Xu Luo replied, "It's nothing. We just encountered a female demon cultivator in the Tianyan Sect ruins before, and she asked us the same question."

"A female demonic cultivator?" Xu Qingzhou frowned slightly. Could it be that some member of her clan had gotten into a conflict with a demonic cultivator?

Xu Luo explained, "This female demonic cultivator is very special. She should only have cultivated demonic techniques, and she is not like other demonic cultivators who are bloodthirsty and grow stronger through killing."

“This kind of demonic cultivator is indeed rare,” Xu Qingzhou said in surprise.

Xu Luo stood up and said, "I've decided to go back to Daqian to check if there is anyone in our Xu family named Xu Qiufeng."

Besides this place, there are quite a few members of the Xu family in the Great Qian Dynasty.

"Be careful," Xu Qingzhou instructed.

Xu Luo's appeal to those forces was only slightly weaker than Xu Ying's.

Because he, a mere mortal, not only cultivates at a rapid pace but can also achieve the same feat as a saint, defeating enemies across three levels. This is extremely unreasonable and unheard of.

Therefore, those forces are eager to know how he did it.

Of course, they just wanted to know so that the mortals in their own forces could follow suit.

Therefore, once Xu Luo leaves Duanshan City and the protection of the three prefecture lords, he will be in great danger.

Xu Luo naturally understood this.

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention."

As a reborn individual, he possesses a multitude of methods, making him not so easily caught.

Xu Luo left Duanshan City and returned to the Great Qian Dynasty.

First, he went to Seven Star Mountain and gave Xu Chu the fishing rod he had obtained from the Tianyan Sect's inheritance.

Upon receiving this precious fishing rod, Xu Chu cherished it dearly.

"Thank you so much, Brother Luo. I really like this fishing rod."

This fishing rod is comparable to a low-grade Heaven-rank weapon. Although it's not very useful in combat, it can play a significant role in fishing.

At the very least, you don't have to worry about the fishing rod or line breaking and the big fish getting away when you catch a big fish.

Xu Luo was both amused and exasperated, and even a little suspicious that this kid might be the reincarnation of the sect master of the Tianyan Sect.

However, Xu Chu is a little better off. Although he also enjoys pleasure, at least he is still cultivating and is an all-rounder.

After that, Xu Luo began to search for a clansman named Xu Qiufeng. With a family genealogy, it wasn't difficult to find him.

They actually found it in the end, right in Yunshan City, the original ancestral home of the Xu family.

Xu Luo arrived in Yunshan City. Over the years, Yunshan City had not changed much. Xu Luo, who was revisiting the place, was filled with emotion.

Who would have thought that the Xu family, which is now highly regarded in Cangzhou, actually came from such a remote border town?

Xu Luo arrived at the Zuixianlou branch in Yunshan City, took out his token, and was able to use Zuixianlou's intelligence system.

Shortly after, information about Xu Qiufeng was sent over.

Xu Qiufeng's grandfather and Xu Luo's grandfather were cousins.

Looking further ahead, Xu Luo asked in surprise, "Xu Qiufeng has disappeared?"

The shopkeeper nodded and replied, "Yes, he disappeared when he was ten years old. He was most likely abducted by human traffickers."

"After that, his parents searched for him everywhere. At that time, our Xu family was still in Lingyue City. Unfortunately, they searched for decades in the Great Qian Dynasty but found nothing."

"His parents are now physically and mentally exhausted. Although they are not old, they look very old and lifeless."

In this world, very few children abducted by human traffickers survive.

Because they are very likely to be sold to mining areas or to cultivators who have practiced special techniques.

"this...."

Xu Luo hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Suddenly, he thought of the female demon cultivator in green, and an idea popped into his head.

"Perhaps Xu Qiufeng was abducted and sold to a demonic cultivator, which is how he met that female demonic cultivator in green."

"I just don't know what happened between them that caused them to lose contact, which is why the female demon cultivator in blue is looking for him."

Xu Luo felt that this was quite likely, but whether it was true or not, they would have to ask the person involved.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Luo took Xu Qiufeng's parents to Lingyue City and told them that Xu Qiufeng might still be alive, and if they found him someday, he would definitely be brought back.

Xu Qiufeng's parents, with their white hair, were overjoyed, and a glimmer of color finally returned to their lifeless eyes.

Having searched for their child for decades and already in utter despair, they might soon pass away in despair.

But this news gave them renewed confidence in life, and they will strive to live in order to see their child.

Whether he will ultimately see his child reunited with his family or die with regrets is uncertain.
