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

Xu Luo wanted to investigate Xu Qiufeng because he was involved with demonic cultivators, but the investigation ended there, so he had to give up.

After leaving Daqian, Xu Luo returned to Duanshan City and did not linger. He took Xiao Hui directly to the Northern Region.

The Northern Region is the territory of the demon race, home to many powerful demons and powerful demon clans with profound heritage, including descendants of ancient mythical beasts such as the Golden Winged Tiger and the Mighty Bull Demon.

As an ancient mythical beast, Suanni, Xiao Hui also has a descendant clan in the Northern Region.

In his previous life, the Ninth Prince of the Great Qi Dynasty succeeded in seizing the throne only with the help of Xiao Hui's descendants.

The Xu family is now being targeted by multiple forces and is struggling to survive on its own, urgently needing allies.

Xu Luo then took Little Grey to the Northern Region to find its descendant clan, which could be considered as gaining an ally for the Xu family.

He did this out of desperation.

The current list of prodigies has revealed a large portion of the Xu family's prodigies.

Xu Ying, in particular, possesses a divine body, which makes many behemoth-level forces extremely envious.

If it weren't for the presence of three Divine Palace Masters in the Xu family, they would have long ago seized Xu Ying by force and taken her for themselves.

Actually, Shen Hongyi and Yin Xianhong were alright, but Elder Wang was of utmost importance. Even figures of the Holy Lord or Emperor level both respected and feared Elder Wang.

As long as Old Master Wang is around, the Xu family will be safe and sound.

But Old Wang could only deter them, preventing them from launching a direct attack on the Xu family. Their covetousness for the Xu family's immortal body remained undiminished.

They tried every means to target and pressure the Xu family.

The Xu family's plan to open a branch of Zuixianlou in Bagu Kingdom initially failed, and they could not continue to open branches.

Later, the situation gradually evolved, and the branch in Wuguo was also suppressed by various forces, frequently encountering various problems, with customer traffic and business performance being worrying.

Therefore, You Chengwu made a special trip to the Xu family to express his apologies in person.

"Clan Chief Xu, the You family is powerless to help Zuixianlou in the Wu Kingdom."

He had patted his chest and guaranteed that there would be no problems at Zuixianlou in Wu Kingdom.

Xu Qingzhou said, "Patriarch You, there's no need to blame yourself. I understand your difficulties."

The You family is only one of the top three families in the Wu Kingdom. There are several forces stronger than the You family in the Wu Kingdom, not to mention the Wu Kingdom's royal family.

Moreover, the Wu Kingdom's royal family is in an even worse position, as they neither want to nor dare to offend the Xu family or the forces that are suppressing them.

But now the forces suppressing the Xu family are more numerous and powerful, and they have no choice but to obey orders and take action to suppress the Xu family's businesses.

Even the You family was implicated and suppressed, forced to sever ties with the Xu family.

Therefore, they themselves are now in danger and naturally cannot offer any help to the Xu family.

It was already quite a risk for him to come to the Xu family in person.

"It's good that Chief Xu understands," You Chengwu sighed inwardly.

Originally, the Xu family had produced many outstanding talents, and as their in-law, he was quite happy.

But unexpectedly, the Xu family's prodigy was too formidable, so formidable that he aroused jealousy.

Fortunately, with three masters of the Divine Palace still around, the Xu family can hold on.

After much deliberation, You Chengwu decided to go down a dark path and continue to maintain contact with the Xu family despite being suppressed.

We can only hope that the Xu family's prodigies can grow up quickly and have the strength to confront those forces head-on.

This also allowed the You family to stand up and severely humiliate those forces that had suppressed them during this period.

After You Chengwu left, Xu Qingzhou instructed the Sixth Elder to close all of Zuixianlou's branches in Wu Kingdom.

There's no way to keep going; not only will we not make money, but we'll also continue to be targeted for losing money every day.

The hundreds of Zuixianlou branches in Wu Kingdom were one of the main sources of income for the Xu family. Now that they have all closed down, the Xu family's overall income has plummeted.

They even went so far as to target the Xu family's businesses in the Great Qian Dynasty, causing significant impact on the Xu family in various aspects.

Fortunately, Xu Luo and his group had previously obtained the inheritance of the Tianyan Sect, which contained a large amount of resources, barely enough to maintain the operation and development of the family.

But this is not a long-term solution, and the Xu family needs to find a way to break the deadlock as soon as possible.

However, the Xu family is now facing not a single force, but an alliance of powerful forces, making it extremely difficult to break the deadlock.

The list of prodigies is still being updated.

It's already the 29th, and the 29th in line is Niu Kun from the Mighty Bull Demon Clan.

In the ruins of the Tianyan Sect, Xu Ying, who had broken through, defeated Jin Kui, while the arrogant Niu Kun was defeated by Xu Muge. It was only because the two of them had trump cards to protect themselves that Xu Luo and the others would have had an extra meal that day.

The next twenty-eighth, twenty-seventh, and twenty-sixth were the holy sons of the True One Holy Land, the Primordial Holy Land, and the Desolate Heavenly Land, respectively.

At this point, more than four years had passed since the emergence of the Prodigy Ranking.

Among the prodigies mentioned earlier, some were ranked higher due to breakthroughs in their cultivation levels.

You Jingyi, ranked fiftieth, broke through from the second level of the Heavenly Palace to the third level.

He thought he could improve his ranking by several places, but he still lost when he challenged Zou Xiaodong, who was ranked 48th.

So he settled for second best and challenged Song Yushu, who was ranked forty-ninth. As a result, Song Yushu also broke through, and the rankings of the three of them remained unchanged.

Song Yushu had been cultivating in the Great Qian Dynasty where the spiritual energy concentration was average. Now that she had come to Duanshan City, where the spiritual energy was abundant, and with her daily dual cultivation with Xu Qingzhou, her cultivation speed was naturally much faster than before.

She had been thinking about going back, but now she only goes back occasionally to handle some state affairs, and then she comes back again very quickly.

This is why the emperor stopped holding morning court from then on.

Unfortunately, the suppression from various forces has also affected the Xu family's prodigies.

They can no longer freely go out to train as before. They spend most of their time cultivating at the Xu family's residence. Without trials and opportunities, their cultivation speed has slowed down.

Apart from Xu Ying, who broke through after obtaining the inheritance opportunity in the ruins of the Tianyan Sect, only Xu Muge, who had the best talent, broke through once during this period, reaching the seventh level of the Heavenly Palace realm.

After his breakthrough, Xu Muge arrived at Xu Qingzhou's courtyard, just in time for lunch.

"When did you get back?" Xu Qingzhou asked.

Xu Muge replied helplessly, "I haven't gone out. I've been in seclusion for over a year, cultivating my skills."

Xu Qingzhou suddenly realized that he hadn't seen him since the Fourth Prince and the Little Princess of Great Xia came last time. He had thought that he had gone to the Great Xia Dynasty to find his little lover, but it turned out that he was in seclusion to cultivate.

Xu Muge looked up.

"Although I defeated the Primordial Saint Son Gu Mingkong before, the gap between us was not that big. So after the Primordial Saint Son made it onto the list, I realized that it wouldn't be long before I would also make it onto the list."

"That's why I've been working hard to cultivate, and thankfully I broke through in time, which postponed my time to be listed."

Xu Qingzhou instantly understood that he was worried that if his physical condition were exposed, it would make things even worse for the Xu family, which was already struggling under pressure.

The existence of one immortal body in the Xu family is already enough to make many forces envious and jealous, leading to a united effort to suppress them. The possibility of having two such individuals is something they dare not even imagine.
