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

Shangguan Zhuolan Ying settled into the courtyard arranged for them by Xu Qingzhou. Currently, the Xu family is unaware of their existence.

Xu Qingzhou understood that there might be other forces planted or bribed people in his family, so the fewer people who knew about these things, the better.

After finishing his work, Xu Luo came to find Xu Qingzhou again.

"When I came back, I learned about the Three Bandits of Qingshan. I think this is an opportunity for Shangguan Zhuo to go and find them. What do you think?"

The ruins discovered by the three bandits of Green Mountain are the cave dwelling of a deceased powerful figure. This figure was a Heavenly Palace Realm expert in life. Besides his cultivation techniques and martial arts, there is something else within the ruins that is very important to the Xu family.

[Because this powerful figure was extremely skilled at beast taming in his lifetime, he also mastered a method that greatly aided in raising spirit beasts.]

Whichever faction masters this method of raising spirit beasts will achieve a significant breakthrough in this field.

The Xu family currently needs to expand into new industries, so this presents an opportunity that they cannot afford to miss.

The only pity is that I don't know where the Three Bandits of Green Mountain are hiding. I only know that they were eventually found by Meng Ping'e of the Taixu Sect, who also obtained this method of raising them. However, for some reason, he seems to have left the Taixu Sect and gone to the Black Feather Dynasty.

In his previous life, Xu Luo's cultivation was too weak at this time, and he was not qualified to participate in the pursuit of the three bandits of Qingshan. He only knew that Meng Ping'e had found him in Huaidong County, but he did not know the exact location.

Xu Qingzhou was secretly delighted.

She had been waiting for Xu Luo to return, wanting to ask him about the Three Bandits of Qingshan and the family's new business.

Unexpectedly, these two things turned out to be the same thing.

Since this matter is related to Meng Ping'e, Xu Qingzhou should bring up what happened before.

“I already knew about this. I even encountered a true disciple of the Taixu Sect before. For them to risk their lives to come to the Lingyue Sect’s territory, the things in the ruins must be extremely valuable.”

Upon hearing the words "true disciple of the Taixu Sect," Xu Luo quickly asked, "Who did you encounter?"

Xu Qingzhou then told him about her encounter with Meng Ping'e and how Su Xinyan intervened.

Upon hearing this, Xu Luo's expression became complicated.

[So that's how it is. It seems that in his previous life, Meng Ping'e found the Three Bandits of Green Mountain with his two junior brothers. He probably wanted to keep the treasure for himself, so he killed his two junior brothers and then left the Taixu Sect, fleeing to the Black Feather Dynasty.]

Unexpectedly, in this life, his two junior brothers still couldn't escape their fate, only they died at the hands of Su Xinyan.

Without the help of his two junior brothers, I wonder if Meng Ping'e will still be able to find the Three Bandits of Green Mountain.

Xu Qingzhou said, "Just go and talk to Shangguan Zhuo and ask him to set aside some time each day to look for it. These things also depend on luck."

After all, Huai Dong County is so large that it's not easy to find three people who are deliberately hiding.

Xu Luo nodded, turned and left, and Little Grey obediently followed him.

Xu Qingzhou's words still have some effect.

If Xu Luo were to do it himself, it would have taken him half an hour to coax Little Grey away last time, and it would take him at least two hours this time.

.....

About a month later, Shangguan Zhuo's wife, Lan Ying, woke up. Although she was still a little weak and unable to fight, she could live a normal life without any problems. After a few more months of recuperation, she would be fully recovered.

Excited and happy, Shangguan Zhuo brought Lan Ying to find Xu Qingzhou.

"This is the head of the Xu family, our savior."

Shangguan Zhuo believed that saving his wife's life was equivalent to saving himself.

After all, he had already decided that if he hadn't found a way to save his wife by the time the seal expired, he would commit suicide with her.

Lan Ying quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Chief Xu. If it weren't for you, I don't know how much longer my husband would have had to work so hard for me."

Lan Ying speaks softly, giving people a gentle and dignified feeling.

While thanking Xu Qingzhou, she also felt sorry for Shangguan Zhuo, because he had been running around trying to save Lan Ying for decades, experiencing countless times of hope turning into despair.

“No need to be so polite. Senior Shangguan is already a retainer of the Xu family. We are all family,” Xu Qingzhou replied.

Lan Ying replied, "Once I recover from my injuries, Clan Chief Xu can contact me anytime if he needs anything, so that I can also contribute my meager strength to the Xu family."

"No rush, let's focus on recovering first," Xu Qingzhou replied.

Lan Ying possesses the strength of the Profound Core Realm, and she can indeed play a certain role in the Xu family.

Xu Qingzhou then invited them to stay for a meal before they left.

After some time, Shangguan Zhuo suddenly came to find Xu Qingzhou and explained his purpose directly.

"I've discovered the whereabouts of the Three Bandits of Green Mountain!"

Xu Qingzhou's eyes lit up. "Why didn't you make a move? Is there something tricky about it?"

The three bandits of Qingshan were all at the Purple Mansion Realm. If they encountered Shangguan Zhuo, who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, they would have no power to resist.

Shangguan Zhuo explained, "I noticed that the three of them were not together, but maintained a certain distance and contact, and were very vigilant. If something happened to one of them, the other two could react instantly."

"With my strength, I can easily capture or kill them, whether it's one-on-one or one-on-three."

“But in this situation, I can’t guarantee that all three of them will be saved. If we fail and someone escapes, it will be difficult to find them again.”

"That's why I rushed back to explain the situation to you. It would be best to bring two more people with you. Only when all three of us work together can we be absolutely sure of success."

Xu Qingzhou suddenly realized why the three of them hadn't been caught yet; their method of hiding was quite unique.

The three of them maintained a comfortable distance from each other and stayed in touch at all times.

If one of them encounters an enemy and can defeat them, they will call the other two over, and the three of them will gang up on them.

If you can't win, then you die and the other two run away.

Pretty smart.

If Shangguan Zhuo hadn't been strong enough, calm enough, and hadn't noticed the clues in time, the other two would have really gotten away.

"I'll call him 'person' now."

To be on the safe side, in addition to Su Xinyan, Xu Qingzhou also invited Xu Luo and Xu Muge.

The three bandits of Qingshan are three brothers. The youngest is in the middle stage of the Purple Mansion realm, the second is in the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm, and the eldest is in the perfect stage of the Purple Mansion realm.

Although Xu Qingzhou was in the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm, he had cultivated Heaven-rank martial arts techniques and possessed Earth-rank weapons. He was not worried about being unable to defeat the third brother, but only about not being able to keep him.

If we add Xu Luo and Xu Muge to the mix, it'll be a sure thing.

Don't underestimate them just because they're both only at the mid-stage of the Profound Core Realm. They can easily defeat a Profound Core Realm Perfection cultivator even if they're two levels higher, and they can also put up a fight against ordinary early-stage Purple Mansion Realm cultivators. They might not be able to defeat mid-stage Purple Mansion Realm cultivators, but they can stall them for time. Therefore, they can definitely help Xu Qingzhou.

And so, the four of them followed Shangguan Zhuo to the hiding place of the three bandits of Qingshan.

This can be considered the strongest combat force combination that the Xu family can currently deploy.
