Having gone out for a meal and also resolved the Xu family's relocation issue, Xu Qingzhou left the City Lord's Mansion satisfied.

Unexpectedly, a group of people swarmed over as soon as I stepped out.

"Brother Xu, do you have time? Come visit my Wang family. My sister has long admired you."

"Brother Xu, come to my house, it's nearby."

Xu Qingzhou was startled by them. Upon closer inspection, he realized they were the same people from the birthday banquet. They hadn't left and were waiting for him there.

Xu Qingzhou was exasperated; these people were truly persistent.

Just as he was having a difficult time, Lü Zhen's son came out.

"I'm going to escort Patriarch Xu back now. Everyone, please go back as well."

With his help, Xu Qingzhou was able to leave Yuhe City without having to say much.

Inside the city lord's mansion, only Lü Zhen and Lü Chenlong remained.

Lu Zhen said, "After the Xu family moves here, go back to the sect and find Xu Muge. Tell him that the Xu family has moved to Yuhe City and if he wants to go home, he can let you know and you can help him find his way."

"After a couple of times, you'll naturally become familiar with each other and develop a friendship."

"But remember, don't go looking for him when you have nothing better to do; geniuses never like to be disturbed."

Lu Chenlong nodded seriously, "I understand, Grandpa."

Because he had an inner sect elder, Lü Chenlong clearly understood Xu Muge's current status in the Lingyue Sect.

Not to mention the elders, even the sect leader treats him with utmost respect.

Therefore, upon returning, he immediately told Lü Zhen everything.

Unexpectedly, through his actions, Lü Zhen established a connection with the Xu family, and their relationship is expected to grow even closer in the future.

With this connection, I can gain a foothold in the Lingyue Sect and develop better in the future.

At this moment, Lü Chenlong was filled with admiration for Lü Zhen.

"But this Cui family..."

Lü Zhen scoffed.

“Our city lord’s mansion says he is the number one family in the city, and he is; if we say he isn’t, he immediately isn’t.”

"Go to the Cui family now and invite their patriarch to come for a talk."

Lu Chenlong was slightly taken aback, but he immediately understood.

The Purple Mansion Realm ancestor of the Cui family is their strongest fighting force. Once they take him down, dealing with the rest of the Cui family will be much easier.

"I'm going right now!"

From the moment the deal was struck, the Cui family became victims, utterly powerless to resist.

.....

After returning to the Xu family, Xu Qingzhou summoned the seven elders for a meeting.

“I just attended the birthday banquet of Lu Zhen, the city lord of Yuhe City, and reached a cooperation agreement with him.”

Lu Zhenshou Banquet?

The seven elders looked at each other in bewilderment. When did the clan leader make this connection?

They were curious, but did not interrupt Xu Qingzhou by asking questions.

"He helped us deal with the Cui family, the most powerful family in Yuhe City, and let us move to Yuhe City to take over everything from the Cui family."

what?

They all knew about Yuhe City, a well-known city in Liangbei County, which was far more prosperous and powerful than Yunshan City.

Although both are among the strongest families, the Xu family and the Cui family are far inferior.

Now they're suddenly being told to move to Rain River City and replace the Cui family.

Is there such a good thing?

The First Elder quickly regained his composure and asked, "Why is he helping us? What price will our Xu family have to pay?"

The other elders gradually came to their senses as well.

Yes, Lü Zhen has no relation to them, so why would he do this?

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Something this good must come at a price.

Xu Qingzhou slowly explained, "Lu Zhen's grandson and Mu Ge entered the Lingyue Sect at the same time. Although he is a spirit body and became an inner sect elder, he is still far inferior to Mu Ge."

"After learning about this, Lü Zhen wanted to befriend the Xu family, which is why he came up with this method."

The seven elders suddenly realized what was going on.

I see, that explains everything.

The Second Elder asked curiously, "Just how talented is Mu Ge? How come he can surpass even spirits?"

Xu Qingzhou said earnestly, "He is so good that even the Supreme Elder of the Lingyue Sect would be considered extremely lucky to have him as his master. In the future, the Lingyue Sect and the Great Qi Dynasty will be proud of him."

hiss! !

They had no idea about Xu Muge's talent before, but Xu Qingzhou's confident words made it clear to them instantly.

They thought that the appearance of Xu Luo, who was accepted as a disciple by a master, was already an incredible stroke of luck for the Xu family.

Unexpectedly, there's an even more formidable Xu Muge.

This is truly a blessing upon the Xu family!

The seven elders' excitement was palpable.

Xu Qingzhou stood up and said, "Alright everyone, quickly inform the clansmen to pack their things and prepare for the move."

"Should we move everything over there at once, or move it little by little?" the Second Elder asked.

Xu Qingzhou replied, "All clansmen above the Qi Gathering Realm should move there. If they have special reasons for wanting to stay, they can stay."

"Whether it's Yunshan City or Yuhe City, in the future they will only be a base for our Xu family."

A large family cannot consist entirely of cultivators. Ordinary people would feel uncomfortable and uneasy living in a city full of cultivators, and would rather return to a small town.

After the Xu family moves to Lingyue City, only some ordinary members of the Xu family will remain in Yunshan City, and some cultivators will remain in Yuhe City to guard it.

.....

Throughout the birthday banquet, Lü Zhen was all smiles, appearing kind, approachable, and friendly.

In reality, he was also a ruthless person with iron-fisted methods.

Now that a cooperation agreement has been reached with Xu Qingzhou, there's no need to drag things out.

First, the patriarch of the Cui family's Purple Mansion was lured to the city lord's mansion and murdered. Then, all the city guards were dispatched to hunt down and kill members of the Cui family.

In no time, Rain River City was engulfed in turmoil.

In just two days, the Cui family, the most powerful family in Yuhe City, ceased to exist.

Before his death, Cui Chengye, the patriarch of the Cui family, stared at Lü Zhen with bloody tears streaming from his eyes and asked through gritted teeth.

"Why??"

He wanted to know why Lü Zhen was dealing with the Cui family this way. He was certain that the Cui family had not offended the City Lord's Mansion and had always had various collaborations with it.

Why the sudden change of heart, even to the point of wanting to wipe them out?

Because this is a world where strength reigns supreme and the strong prey on the weak, killing a person or wiping out a family requires no reason.

However, considering Cui Chengye's impending death, Lü Zhen still explained the reason.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking calmly at his old friend.

"I want the Xu family to move to Yuhe City, so I have no choice but to ask your Cui family to move as well."

"I'm eliminating you all to prevent you from holding a grudge against me."

If Lü Zhen were to ask the Cui family to move out, the Cui family would definitely agree.

However, it's inevitable that there's resentment in their hearts. What if one day in the future, a prodigy emerges in the Cui family and comes back to seek revenge? That wouldn't do.

Therefore, the best solution is to eliminate them completely, thus ending the problem once and for all.

"puff!!"

Upon learning the answer, Cui Chengye coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes widened, and he trembled with rage.
