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

Lan Jiang and the Purple Mansion Realm cultivators of his family sat in a secret room, the atmosphere heavy and oppressive.

Originally, including the two Purple Mansion Realm cultivators who had been in seclusion, the Lan family had a total of fifteen Purple Mansion Realm cultivators.

Three of them were worshippers, and the remaining twelve were all members of the Lan family.

However, after the three Purple Mansion Realm clansmen sent by Lanjiang to ambush Xu Luo died, there were only twelve left. After deducting two who were in seclusion, there were only ten people in the room.

Although Lan Jiang was not the strongest clan leader, he sat in the first seat.

"Elders and Venerable Ones, this matter is indeed my fault, but I hope you can understand that the initial purpose of proposing marriage to the Qiao family was to infiltrate their ranks, gradually plot against them, and ultimately destroy them."

"But after the plan was ruined by the Xu family, in order to restore the dignity and reputation of my Lan family, I sent three elders to ambush the Xu family's prodigy."

"I never expected that the Xu family, a fourth-rate power, would have more than one expert at the Purple Mansion Realm."

Before he could finish speaking, a retainer dressed in red robes said in a deep voice, "How can you be sure it's a Purple Mansion Realm expert? What if it's a Nascent Soul Realm expert?"

"Impossible! Only second-rate forces possess experts at the Nascent Soul Realm," Lan Jiang blurted out.

The red-robed elder's voice was hoarse, "What's impossible? Xu Muge has a noble status in the Lingyue Sect, so it's normal to arrange for an inner sect elder to protect the Xu family."

Lan Jiang was speechless for a moment and could not say a word.

"Cough cough."

At this moment, the Grand Elder coughed twice and asked, "What are you planning to do next?"

"Revenge!" Lan Jiang answered almost without hesitation.

Another worshipper questioned, "Revenge? Three died this time, are you going to kill six more next time?"

As retainers of the Lan family, they can do things for the Lan family, but they don't want to die for the Lan family for no reason.

"Tell me your thoughts first," the elder said calmly.

Lan Jiang said in a deep voice, "Since the Xu family has powerful protectors, it is unlikely that we can destroy the Xu family at present. So let's try to save face for the Lan family."

"The Xu family is most proud of its two outstanding members, Xu Muge and Xu Luo. My idea is to take my members who are at the Xuan Dan realm and go to the Xu family to challenge them to a duel."

"As far as I know, the Xu family currently only has ten Xuan Dan Realm cultivators. Clan leader Xu Qingzhou aside, the two prodigies are only at the early stage of Xuan Dan Realm, and the seven elders are all too old to be a threat."

"With the strength of our Lan family, whether it's a best-of-three or a best-of-five series, we're basically guaranteed to win. If we beat the Xu family, we can salvage some of the face we've lost."

"If given the chance, I might even accidentally kill a few, even the elders, but Xu Muge and Xu Luo would be even better."

His idea is not bad; some people are interested, while others have doubts.

The red-robed elder asked, "What if we lose?"

"We can't possibly lose!" Lan Jiang replied resolutely.

The red-robed cultivator scoffed, "When you sent three Purple Mansion cultivators to ambush the Xu family's prodigy, you also thought it would definitely succeed. And what happened?"

Lan Jiang was speechless once again.

Ultimately, his seemingly high-probability proposal was rejected.

Regarding the grudges against the Xu family, it was decided to put them aside for the time being and take action when a suitable opportunity arises later.

They simply dared not take any more risks.

Little did they know that if they actually did that, and then set a best-of-five rule, they would be guaranteed to win as long as the Xu family agreed.

Of course, the Xu family wouldn't agree, no matter how much they were provoked, since they simply couldn't win.

At most, the Lan family could only mock the Xu family and spread rumors throughout the city that the Xu family dared not accept the challenge.

.....

Su Xinyan usually eats, drinks, and has fun with Xu Qingzhou, but this time she suddenly went into seclusion, and Xu Qingzhou felt a little bored by himself.

He sat in the recliner, looking at the azure sky, and a few words suddenly came to mind.

"Nothing to do today, just listen to music."

The idea lingered in Xu Qingzhou's mind for a moment. He suddenly sat up, left the Xu family, disguised himself, and went to the inner city.

To be honest, he had long wanted to come to the brothels of Lingyue City to broaden his horizons.

Before, he was poor and didn't want to waste spirit stones. After moving to Lingyue City, he was always with Su Xinyan and never had a chance to meet her.

Now that we have plenty of spirit stones and opportunities, we should naturally take a look.

Xu Qingzhou arrived at the brothel in Lingyue City, which was called Miaoyin Pavilion.

I heard that there used to be several brothels in the city, but they were later acquired and merged.

Xu Qingzhou knew that Miaoyin Pavilion and Zuimeng Tower in Lingyue City belonged to a faction in the city called Mingyue Society.

Besides the City Lord's Mansion, there is one second-rate power, five third-rate powers, and numerous fourth- and fifth-rate powers within Lingyue City.

The Bright Moon Society is the only second-rate force. It was originally established by a group of independent cultivators. Over the past few hundred years, it has developed rapidly and eventually became a second-rate force.

The Bright Moon Society doesn't need many businesses; just controlling the Drunken Dream Pavilion and the Wonderful Sound Pavilion, two money-making machines that rake in huge sums of money every day, provides them with a continuous stream of wealth.

"I've long heard that the female cultivators of the Miaoyin Pavilion in Lingyue City are all graceful and slender, with gentle and melodious voices, superb skills, and strong professional abilities. Today I finally have the opportunity to see for myself."

Xu Qingzhou walked calmly into the Miaoyin Pavilion, where a fragrant breeze was constantly wafting out.

There is a stone wall made of a special material in front of the door, with a painting on it, depicting a woman with a graceful figure.

Walking past one side of the stone wall, the entire Miaoyin Pavilion was laid out before Xu Qingzhou. He bought a ticket and found a seat at random.

When the waiter came over, Xu Qingzhou casually ordered some food and drinks.

Just like the KTV in my previous life, the food and drinks here are extremely expensive, and you can't bring your own.

After a while, the program finally began.

The female cultivators performing here are all outstanding in appearance and figure. They also possess a unique, ethereal quality, and the musical instruments they use are magical artifacts, making the performances exceptionally effective.

Xu Qingzhou was watching and drinking when a program ended and he suddenly heard a familiar voice next to him.

When I first arrived, I thought this place was too shady and the drinks were so expensive, but after watching the show, I think it's actually quite good value for money.

Xu Qingzhou was slightly taken aback.

Xu Qingzhou heard what the stranger next to him said even though the man's mouth hadn't moved.

[Huh? Why is this person looking at me? Do they know me? But there is a certain familiarity about them.]

When Xu Qingzhou saw again that his mouth hadn't moved, yet she could still hear him speaking, she suddenly realized what was going on.

This strange man is Xu Chu in disguise!!!

Xu Qingzhou could hear the thoughts of the chosen one of the Xu family, but Xu Muge was currently in the Lingyue Sect and Xu Luo was currently in the Demon Cloud Mountains, leaving only the immortal Xu Chu.

Xu Qingzhou turned his head away, speechless.

"Where did this kid learn to disguise himself? His aura has changed so much that even I didn't notice. If I couldn't hear his thoughts, I wouldn't have recognized him at all."

Xu Qingzhou even had the idea of ​​learning from him, since his disguise was very simple and could only fool people with lower cultivation levels than himself. Once he encountered a strong person, they would see through it at a glance.

Xu Chu's disguise skills were quite sophisticated. He was only at the Qi Gathering Realm, yet he managed to deceive Xu Qingzhou, who was at the peak of the Profound Core Realm. This shows just how skilled he was at disguise.

Xu Chu's cultivation level was inferior to his, otherwise he would have recognized him.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Xu Qingzhou didn't turn to look at him again, and they watched the program peacefully.

They left Miaoyin Pavilion one after the other that evening.

Xu Qingzhou was quick and returned to the Xu family first.

Xu Chu, on the other hand, was more cautious. He went to another place, changed his clothes and appearance, and then wandered around the city before returning to the Xu family.

In other words, Xu Qingzhou didn't follow him. If she had, she might have been shaken off if she wasn't careful.

He is not only skilled at disguise, but also at counter-tracking.

When Xu Qingzhou got home, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he thought of an interesting place.

The Azure Dragon Secret Realm opens once every ten years; one day outside is equivalent to thirty days inside.

Normally, people go in and out in the same way; no one chooses to go in this time and out next time, because ten years have passed outside, while three hundred years have passed inside.

Because the laws of heaven and earth are incomplete, the highest a cultivator can reach inside is the late stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm. Since the lifespan of a Spirit Gathering Realm cultivator is less than three hundred years, once they cannot get out, it means they will die inside when their lifespan is exhausted.

But Xu Chu, the immortal, has an endless lifespan, so he doesn't have to worry about dying when his lifespan runs out.

So, Xu Chu was allowed to enter the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, and then come out when the secret realm opened again. He could stay inside for three hundred years, while only ten years would pass in the outside world.

You can do a lot of things inside for three hundred years.

For example, you can dig out rare and precious materials to refine many pills, hunt valuable monsters on a large scale, and even buy some spirit wine to take in, which will come out as three-hundred-year-old aged wine.

It will be another eight or nine years before it reopens.

There's no need to worry about Xu Chu's cultivation level reaching the Xuan Dan realm and preventing him from entering next time it opens, since his cultivation rate is too slow.

"Good idea. I can remind this kid about it later."
