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

Xu Chu kept making hand seals, and the formation kept changing unpredictably.

What was originally an inanimate formation, under his control, seemed to transform into a troop of soldiers launching fierce attacks time and time again.

"break!"

Xu Chu let out a low shout and slammed his right hand down, causing the hundreds of jade pillars in the cage to shatter with a crash.

"Bang bang bang!!"

The seemingly unbreakable ancient formation was suddenly broken at this moment.

The large amount of yellow sand that had gathered inside the cage gushed out like a flood bursting its banks.

Amidst the yellow sand, there was another figure—Tu Jiuming. He stepped out of the cage, his feet crunching on the sand.

Tu Jiuming suppressed the hint of madness in his eyes, and he came to mid-air, looking at Xu Qingzhou and the others.

"I, Tu Jiuming, thank you all for saving me."

Tu Jiuming understood that whether these people discovered him by chance or had some other purpose, they had indeed saved him. Without them, he didn't know how much longer he would have been imprisoned or whether he would have survived.

Xu Luo cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Senior Tu. We came to the Great Qi Dynasty and also received a part of the inheritance you left there. Now our Xu family has moved to Duanshan City."

Upon hearing the familiar words 'Broken Mountain City,' a flash of killing intent crossed Tu Jiuming's eyes.

“I owe your Xu family a favor. If you need anything, you can come to the City Lord’s Mansion to find me anytime. But you’ll have to wait a bit, because I have an important matter to attend to.”

Xu Luo understood that the important thing he was talking about was to kill Wei Jianghe and reclaim Duanshan City.

He was like this in his past life.

"Goodbye, Senior Tu."

After Tu Jiuming nodded, his figure vanished instantly.

Xu Luo said, "Sixth Uncle, let's go too. It's time to go back and watch the show."

The trip was extremely successful. Not only did they rescue Tu Jiuming, but they also found Jin Zhuosha and even gained an unexpected swarm of golden-winged sandworms.

Xu Qingzhou and his three companions returned home.

They had no idea how Tu Jiuming sought revenge on Wei Jianghe or how he recaptured Duanshan City.

What was unexpected was that only three days had passed since Tu Jiuming was rescued.

Then came a piece of news from Broken Mountain City that surprised the world.

Tu Jiuming, the long-lost third son of the old city lord of Duanshan City, suddenly returned and killed his fifth brother, Wei Jianghe, who is now the city lord of Duanshan City.

The fourth son of the old city lord, who had been in seclusion, came out of seclusion and supported Tu Jiuming to take control of Duanshan City again.

This series of news caused a stir in Cangzhou, sparking much discussion.

"My God, Tu Jiuming is actually back! Wasn't he supposed to be dead?"

"What exactly happened? Tu Jiuming just returned and his brothers are already fighting each other."

"As far as I know, Tu Jiuming was in charge of Duanshan City at first, but he suddenly disappeared mysteriously, and Wei Jianghe took over Duanshan City."

"So it's possible that Wei Jianghe deliberately murdered Tu Jiuming for the position of city lord, which is why Tu Jiuming killed him after returning."

"That could very well be the case."

It's estimated that no one could have imagined that all these changes in Duanshan City were due to the Xu family's actions.

After the old city lord and his five adopted sons were reduced to only two, the strength of Duanshan City was greatly reduced, and it was clearly weaker than other hegemonic forces.

Now that Wei Jianghe is dead, and Tu Jiuming, who is stronger and more talented, has taken his place, the overall strength of Duanshan City has improved somewhat.

If Tu Jiuming hadn't been tricked and trapped in the Pingqiu Desert for over three hundred years, with his talent, he would have already reached the Saint King realm.

However, he is already at the ninth level of the Great Saint Realm, and it should be only a matter of time before he breaks through to the Saint King Realm.

After Tu Jiuming took control of Duanshan City, he swiftly eliminated all of Wei Jianghe's confidants with ruthless methods.

After Tu Jiuming completely took control of Duanshan City, he personally visited Xu Qingzhou at the Xu family.

After praising the Xu family, Tu Jiuming said, "Clan Chief Xu, rest assured, in the future, as long as anyone makes a move against the Xu family, Duanshan City will definitely do its best to help the Xu family."

“As neighbors, it’s only right that we help each other,” Xu Qingzhou replied calmly.

Tu Jiuming affirmed, "Of course."

Although he had only been back for a few days, he already knew about the Xu family's affairs. He angrily cursed Wei Jianghe, whom he had already killed. He said that it was extremely foolish of him not only not to befriend such a powerful family with unlimited potential, but also to secretly fight against them.

Tu Jiuming was quite certain that if the Xu family continued to develop in this way, it wouldn't be long before they became a dominant force in Cangzhou. At that time, the Xu family would definitely be the first to target the Duanshan City Lord's Mansion, which was right next door.

Therefore, Wei Jianghe's previous actions towards the Xu family almost destroyed the city lord's mansion of Duanshan City.

If he weren't already dead, Tu Jiuming would have loved to drag him out and give him another good beating.

After Tu Jiuming left, the City Lord's Mansion sent people to offer the Xu family some tangible benefits as compensation for the previous offense that Duanshan City had committed against the Xu family.

Xu Qingzhou naturally accepted everything without any hesitation.

After all, that was the purpose of rescuing Tu Jiuming in the first place.

Previously, due to the conflict between the Xu family and the city lord's mansion, there was only one Drunken Immortal Pavilion in the city. Now that they have reconciled and formed an alliance,

The Xu family, of course, did not stand on ceremony and opened three more Zuixianlou restaurants in one go, one in each of the four cardinal directions.

There's also Wanbaoge, which opened a branch. But there's no need to open so many Wanbaoge branches; just one large one will suffice.

Once Xu Hao brings back some more treasures from the Immortal Realm, he can hold a large-scale auction at the Wanbaoge in Duanshan City.

Not only will they make a fortune, but they will also thoroughly establish the reputation of Wanbaoge and the Xu family, making the nearby continents aware of Wanbaoge's existence. This will also pave the way for Wanbaoge and Zuixianlou to open branches in other continents in the future.

.....

Xu Luo and his two companions stayed at home for about half a year, spending time with their families, before leaving Cangzhou and returning to the True Dragon Academy in Qingzhou.

Nowadays, at the Xu family's semi-annual meeting, in addition to Xu Qingzhou and the seven elders, there are also Xu Yundao, Xu Chu, Xu Hao, and Yu Shufei, who manages Wanbaoge.

After the Seventh Elder finished reporting on the Xu family's achievements in the alchemy and artifact business, it was the Sixth Elder's turn to report on the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

"Now, our Zuixianlou branches have spread throughout the cities and towns of the Eastern Region, except for the Holy City."

"Outside the Eastern Region, there are also branches on the thirty-six islands of the Starry Sea. Currently, there are only more than thirty branches in the Northern Region, all of which are located in the largest city."

"There are more than 300 companies in the Western Regions, but there are none in the Southern Regions at present."

"The Southern Region is entirely the private territory of the five major demonic sects. Outside forces simply cannot enter; they do not allow any outside forces to exist."

Xu Qingzhou tapped his fingers on the table.

"It seems that the only way to open a Drunken Immortal Pavilion in the Southern Region is to destroy all five major demonic sects and unify the Southern Region's dynasties."

This audacious idea left the seven elders stunned. Back then, even the Buddhist sects of the Western Regions couldn't destroy the Demonic Sect, yet Xu Qingzhou dared to think of such a thing; it was indeed a bit too bold.

The Grand Elder said in a deep voice, "I think it's feasible. Once we have enough strength, we can indeed eradicate the five major demonic sects in the Southern Region and restore peace and order to the people of the Southern Region."

Given the current pace of development of the Xu family, that day is not far off.

If the Southern Region can be unified and brought under the Great Qian Dynasty, just like the Eight Ancient Kingdoms, Song Yushu, who possesses the physique of an emperor and is the ruler of the country, will definitely see a significant improvement in her physical condition.

Therefore, this matter not only eliminated a scourge for the people, but also brought certain benefits to the Xu family.

After the Sixth Elder finished speaking, it was the Fifth Elder's turn.

"Currently, the Xu family's Hidden Dragon Guard has a total of 490 people, of whom 210 possess the Five Elements Body."

"Fifty percent of the Hidden Dragon Guards are in the Eight Ancient Kingdoms, helping Young Master Xu Kong control and manage the Eight Ancient Kingdoms. Thirty percent are cultivating in the Divine Palace, and the remaining twenty percent are training in various places."

The Xu family holds a grand family competition every three years. The top fifteen in the competition can join the Hidden Dragon Guard, enjoy more resources, and even go to the Divine Palace to cultivate.

Each time a certain number of Five Elements spiritual items are collected, a portion will be selected for the Hidden Dragon Guards to use.

However, advanced versions of the Five Elements spiritual objects are extremely rare. Currently, the Xu family only possesses five Five Elements Divine Bodies, including Xu Luo, Xu Chu, and Xu Qiufeng.

However, once Wanbaoge and Zuixianlou open in other continents, not only will the Xu family earn more resources, but their efficiency in collecting the five elements spiritual objects will also increase significantly, and the speed at which the Xu family's five elements physique increases will also increase significantly.
