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

When Xu Luo learned of this news, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The heavy weight on his heart was finally lifted.

After all, this was his biggest regret in his previous life, and now that he has been reborn, he has finally made up for it.

"After dealing with the Zou and Wei families, our Xu family will become the number one family in Yunshan City."

"I can also go out to train with peace of mind, improve my cultivation, and take the opportunity to study the treasure that was reborn with me in my dantian."

"Once I become powerful, I can consider finding a blessed land and moving the entire Xu family there."

As a powerful being reborn, Xu Luo felt very insecure because he lacked strength.

Although one can improve their cultivation level by practicing at home, it will ultimately be slower without going through trials and tribulations.

Xu Luo knew that his talent was not particularly outstanding, and only by experiencing battles and trials in dangerous situations could he improve his cultivation more quickly.

Just then, a voice came from outside the door.

"Xu Luo, the Wei family is short of people, and the elders want us to go over there too."

The Zou and Wei families were, after all, families of the same level as the Xu family, deeply rooted in Yunshan City, and with considerable assets.

Therefore, a large number of people are needed to eradicate the problem and harvest the industry.

Even someone like Xu Luo, who is at the Body Tempering Realm, needs help.

"coming."

Xu Luo walked out of the room and went to the Wei family with several clansmen.

At this moment, Xu Qingzhou had already dealt with all the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Zou and Wei families, and the rest were left to his clansmen, which could also be considered an opportunity for them to train.

Xu Qingzhou did not go home, but instead went to the city lord's mansion and met the city lord, Ji Dongfang.

Ji Dongfang sat calmly, holding an exquisite wine pot in his hand, from which a refreshing aroma of wine wafted.

He glanced at Xu Qingzhou and said in a slightly reproachful tone.

“Brother Xu, your Xu family has mobilized so many people to fight in the city, which violates the laws of our Great Qi. The constables have been waiting for my orders, which is putting me in a difficult position.”

The Great Qi Dynasty had explicit regulations prohibiting fighting and brawling within the city, let alone wanton killing.

However, Yunshan City is located in a remote area, and the city lord, Ji Dongfang, is like a local emperor in the city, and he has the final say in everything.

If it were ordinary people fighting, they would have been arrested long ago.

Xu Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "I have come here today to apologize."

According to the inner voice of the reborn Xu Luo, Xu Qingzhou knew that in his previous life, the Zou family and the Wei family destroyed the Xu family and obtained all of the Xu family's industries and property, and the city lord's mansion also got a share of the spoils.

Ji Dongfang is not in cahoots with the Zou and Wei families. He only cares about profit. Whoever wins, he will help them swallow up the losers and profit from it.

When Ji Dongfang learned that the Xu family had attacked the Zou and Wei families, he was very surprised because it was not what he had expected.

But they were only surprised; it didn't matter who won, since they were going to make a profit anyway.

Xu Qingzhou didn't beat around the bush and generously ceded some of the profits, which finally brought a smile to Ji Dongfang's face, showing his satisfaction.

"Working with a smart guy like Brother Xu is much better than working with those two stingy old fogies."

Xu Qingzhou smiled, inwardly thinking, "They're stingy, you're greedy. It's a case of the pot calling the kettle black."

Ji Dongfang suddenly said, "Since you're so generous, Brother Xu, I'll do you a favor and tell you something."

"Zou Kui and Wei Sanyuan borrowed a magic weapon from the Seven Star Sect elders. It should be with you now."

Xu Qingzhou understood that he was referring to the small yellow seal that Zou Kui had taken. It was a high-grade Xuan-level magic weapon that had smashed the Flying Eagle Boat to pieces with a single blow.

If Xu Qingzhou hadn't poisoned the item beforehand, he would have been no match for Zou Kui, who possessed this magical artifact.

Xu Qingzhou had been wondering how Zou Kui could possess such a treasure, but he never expected it to be borrowed from an elder of the Seven Star Sect.

The Lingyue Sect is a first-rate power, while the Seven Stars Sect is slightly weaker, being a second-rate power, but both are still behemoths compared to the Xu family.

According to the division of the dynasty's power, there are only three Xuan Dan cultivators, and the strongest one, Xu Qingzhou, is only a mid-stage Xuan Dan cultivator from the Xu family, which is not even considered a fourth-rate power.

Xu Qingzhou said, "There is indeed such a magical artifact, and I also..."

Ji Dongfang raised his hand to interrupt him.

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to remind you that this is a hot potato, and you need to handle it carefully."

Xu Qingzhou replied, "Thank you for the reminder, City Lord."

He thought Ji Dongfang had taken a liking to the magic weapon, but he never expected it to be a reminder.

However, the greedy Ji Dongfang was not just kindly reminding Xu Qingzhou; he also had his own plans.

Ji Dongfang doesn't care how many families, big or small, there are in Yunshan City, or who is strong or weak, but he cannot do without these families.

If Xu Qingzhou doesn't handle this magic weapon properly, the Xu family might be wiped out by the elders of the Seven Star Sect. In that case, there would be no major families left in Yunshan City, which is not what Ji Dongfang wants to see.

After Xu Qingzhou left, Ji Dongfang looked into the distance and murmured to himself.

"I haven't seen Xu Qingzhou for a while, how come he has changed so much? His temperament alone is like that of a completely different person. Could this be the reason why he was able to turn the tide and destroy the Zou and Wei families?"

Thinking of this, Ji Dongfang looked disgusted.

"The Zou and Wei families are truly useless. They joined forces to ambush Xu Qingzhou with a Xuan-rank magic treasure, but they were still killed instead. They are utterly hopeless."

"But this is perfect, I can gain more benefits."

The difference between taking a share of the Xu family's wealth and taking a share of the Wei or Zou family's wealth is completely different.

.....

On his way home, Xu Qingzhou kept thinking about the yellow little seal.

He was initially pleased, thinking it was a huge unexpected gain, as this magical artifact would allow him to further enhance his combat power.

Unexpectedly, this was a magic weapon borrowed by the Zou and Wei families from the Seven Stars Sect elder, who was a Purple Mansion Realm expert.

If they don't repay the debt, and the other party comes knocking on their door, they will be humiliated at best, and their entire clan will be wiped out at worst.

If it were still there, I wouldn't know what the relationship was between the Wei family, the Zou family, and that Seven Star Sect elder.

What if they are related to you and you come to them, only to be enraged and take your anger out on you and the Xu family after learning that you killed Zou Kui and Wei Sanyuan?

This is a dilemma.

Xu Qingzhou rubbed his temples.

"It really is a hot potato. I should have just left it in the wild with Zou Kui's corpse."

The key issue here is the relationship between the Zou family, the Wei family, and the elders of the Seven Star Sect.

If their relationship is purely based on mutual benefit, then Xu Qingzhou returning the magic weapon and giving some gifts should resolve the issue.

If there's a deeper connection, and we're both going to die anyway, then it's better to pretend we don't know and refuse to admit it.

"Hey...."

Xu Qingzhou sighed deeply.

Just then, Xu Luo returned after helping out and saw Xu Qingzhou passing by with a frown and a sigh, which puzzled him greatly.

Having resolved the old feuds with the Zou and Wei families, the Xu family is about to become the number one family in Yunshan City. Why is he still so sullen, as if he has something on his mind?

Xu Luo followed, intending to ask what was going on.
