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

Upon seeing Xu Qingzhou, Xu Luo was taken aback. Although his powerful cultivation was gone after his rebirth, his knowledge and insight remained.

He had a vague feeling that something had changed about Xu Qingzhou; she was very different from before.

What exactly has Uncle Liu gone through these past few days? Why has he changed so much? Could it be that he has awakened some kind of special ability?

If Xu Luo's current strength surpasses Xu Qingzhou's, he only needs to use his divine sense to investigate and determine why Xu Qingzhou has changed so much.

But he is only a Body Tempering cultivator now. Even with his rich experience, he cannot find the reason for Xu Qingzhou's change just by looking at him.

Xu Qingzhou remained calm.

"Xiao Luo, what brings you here?"

Xu Luo came to his senses and slowly said, "Yesterday I went for a walk in the city and unintentionally ran into people from the Zou family and the Wei family. Usually, our three families operate independently and rarely have contact, but I saw that they seemed to be getting very close, and they were doing it secretly, as if they were afraid of being seen by others."

"Something is definitely amiss. I think they might be plotting something. Shouldn't we make some preparations, just in case?"

Xu Qingzhou replied, "Most of our Xu family's businesses are concentrated in the city. There is only one black iron mine outside the city, which is also one of our Xu family's main sources of income."

"So if they want to target my Xu family, they will definitely tamper with the black iron mine. I have already arranged people near the mine area, and they will notify me immediately if anything happens in the mine."

Xu Luo breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Uncle Liu is quite shrewd. If it weren't for this huge upheaval in his previous life, the Xu family would definitely have prospered under his leadership.

Xu Luo gave a simple, honest smile.

"So Uncle Liu had already considered this point. I thought about it all night before I came up with it."

Xu Qingzhou chuckled, "You've even learned how to flatter, kid."

Come to think of it, it's been at least three to five hundred years since I last flattered anyone.

Xu Luo added, "I think even if they take action against the mining area, their ultimate target will still be you. After all, you are the strongest force in the Xu family. If you fall, the Xu family will be in danger."

"So they might try to create chaos in the mining area to lure you there, then ambush you unexpectedly."

[This is how they dealt with Uncle Six in their past life. The plan wasn't particularly ingenious, but it was very effective.]

Xu Qingzhou frowned slightly and asked, "What do you think I should do?"

"Use poison."

Xu Luo explained, "If they want to ambush you, they must be well prepared. Without outside help, you can't win by fighting head-on. They will also set up formations to prevent you from escaping. Therefore, you must take them by surprise at this time."

"You can buy some colorless and odorless poison gas, take the antidote in advance, and then quietly release the poison gas after the ambushers appear."

After saying that, Xu Luo added one more sentence.

"This is advice I received from my master."

He said that in order to maintain his newbie persona and avoid arousing Xu Qingzhou's suspicion.

After all, it's a bit illogical that someone who has just started cultivating and hasn't even entered the cultivation world could come up with such a thorough and ruthless method.

Xu Qingzhou's eyes lit up, and he patted the armrest of the chair.

"Great idea! I'll arrange for someone to buy the drugs right away."

Xu Qingzhou is a flawless spirit body, so no poison is effective against him. Therefore, he doesn't even need to buy antidotes; he only needs to buy poison.

As expected of a reborn person, their thinking is indeed very active.

"By the way, when should we invite your master to our home so that the Xu family can show him hospitality and properly thank him?"

Xu Luo replied, "I've mentioned that before, but Master is used to being alone and doesn't like dealing with strangers."

"Oh, never mind then," Xu Qingzhou said with a regretful expression.

Seeing that Xu Qingzhou listened to his advice, Xu Luo felt a weight lifted from his heart. Once the Zou and Wei families were dealt with completely, he could finally relax completely.

After Xu Luo left, Xu Qingzhou sent someone to buy poison, and was prepared to pay a high price for the most poisonous kind.

With everything prepared, Xu Qingzhou and Xu Luo felt much more at ease.

Two more days passed.

The Xu family's black iron mine, located 150 miles east of Yunshan City, suffered an unexpected accident.

The Zou and Wei families were clever; instead of sending people to cause trouble, they spent time and effort capturing some powerful demonic beasts and throwing them into the mining area to cause chaos.

This would lower the Xu family's guard and make them think that this was just a simple monster attack on the mining area.

After all, this kind of thing has happened before.

Xu Qingzhou's scouts near the mining area immediately informed him of this matter.

"finally come!!"

Xu Qingzhou's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Today, it's either the Zou and Wei families who die, or the Zou and Wei families who perish!

Xu Qingzhou summoned seven elders to leave the Xu family.

After leaving the city, he took out a small flying boat, threw it into the air, and it expanded with the wind, eventually turning into a small gray boat that was five zhang long and two zhang wide. A blue eagle was carved on the hull of the boat.

The eight people jumped onto the spaceship, and after a protective shield against the gale appeared around the spaceship, it turned into a streak of light and sped eastward at high speed.

This is the Flying Eagle Boat, a flying magical artifact of the Xu family, a high-grade Yellow Rank.

A cultivation technique can be practiced by many people, but a weapon can only be used by one cultivator, making it quite rare.

Therefore, the Xu family previously practiced Xuan-level cultivation techniques and martial arts. Apart from Xu Qingzhou, the others used Huang-level weapons. Even the clansmen in the Body Tempering Realm did not have a decent weapon.

Flying magical artifacts are already quite rare, and even a single high-grade yellow-rank artifact requires a large amount of spirit stones to purchase.

The speed at full throttle of the Flying Eagle Boat is comparable to that of a Xuan Dan cultivator flying on a sword.

The second elder asked doubtfully, "Clan leader, even if demonic beasts attack the mining area, do we all need to go?"

Only Xu Qingzhou and Xu Luo know about the Zou and Wei families; no one else knows.

Xu Qingzhou explained, "This is a conspiracy by the Zou and Wei families. They have already set up an ambush on the way. What we need to do is to turn the tables on them and launch a counterattack."

The seven elders were horrified.

The elder frowned and asked, "If it really is a conspiracy by the Zou and Wei families, then they must be well prepared, at least gathering all the fighting power of the two families. With only eight of us, won't we be a bit outnumbered and outmatched?"

"Yes, should we hire some help?"

The three companies are evenly matched overall, and none of them can take on two opponents at once; this is quite clear.

Xu Qingzhou replied confidently, "Elders, rest assured, I will not fight a battle I am not confident of winning. You just need to follow my instructions."

Seeing his confidence, the elders exchanged glances, hesitant to speak.
