Chapter 26 Preparing to Move

Coming out to eat and also solving the matter of the Xu Family moving, Xu Qingzhou left the City Lord's Mansion feeling very satisfied.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out, a group of people swarmed towards him.

"Old Brother Xu, do you have time? Why not come sit at my Wang Family? My younger sister has admired you for a long time."

"Brother Xu, come to my house, it's closer."

Xu Qingzhou was startled by them. Upon closer inspection, he realized they were the people from the birthday banquet; they hadn't left and had been waiting for Xu Qingzhou here.

Xu Qingzhou felt a headache coming on; these people were truly persistent.

Just as he was finding it difficult to handle the situation, Lu Zhen's son walked out.

"I need to escort the Xu Family Head back. Everyone else, please return as well."

With his help, Xu Qingzhou saved some effort and smoothly left Yuhe City.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, only Lu Zhen and Lu Chenlong remained.

Lu Zhen said, "After the Xu Family moves here, you will return to the Sect and find Xu Muge. Tell him that the Xu Family has moved to Yuhe City, and if he wants to come home, he can notify you, and you will help guide the way."

"This way, becoming familiar with each other will come naturally, and you will naturally form a connection."

"But remember, do not go looking for him idly. Heavenly Prodigies never like to be disturbed."

Lu Chenlong nodded seriously, "I understand, Grandpa."

Because he had an Inner Sect Elder as his Master, Lu Chenlong clearly understood Xu Muge's current status in the Lingyue Sect.

Let alone the Elders, even the Sect Leader was polite to him.

Therefore, after returning, he immediately told everything to Lu Zhen.

Unexpectedly, with Lu Zhen's series of actions, they had thus established a connection with the Xu Family, and would become even closer in the future.

With this layer of connection, he could also gain a firm foothold in the Lingyue Sect and develop better in the future.

At this moment, Lu Chenlong was full of admiration for Lu Zhen.

"It's just, this Cui family…"

Lu Zhen scoffed.

"If our City Lord's Mansion says they are the number one Family in the city, they are. If we say they are not, they immediately cease to be."

"Go to the Cui family now and invite their Old Ancestor to come for a talk."

Lu Chenlong paused slightly, instantly understanding.

The Cui family's Purple Mansion Realm Old Ancestor was their strongest fighting force. If he was dealt with, the remaining Cui family would be much easier to handle.

"I'll go right now!"

From the moment the deal was struck, the Cui family became a sacrifice, with no ability to resist at all.

…..

After Xu Qingzhou returned to the Xu Family, he summoned the seven Elders for a discussion.

"I just attended the birthday banquet of Lu Zhen, the City Lord of Yuhe City, and reached a cooperation with him."

Lu Zhen's birthday banquet?

The seven Elders exchanged glances. When did the Clan Leader establish this connection?

They were very curious but did not interrupt Xu Qingzhou by asking questions.

"He will help us deal with the strongest Family in Yuhe City, the Cui family, and let us move to Yuhe City to take over everything from the Cui family."

Ah?

They all knew about Yuhe City, a famous city in Liangbei County; it was much more prosperous and powerful than Yunshan City.

Similarly, when comparing the strongest families, their Xu Family and the Cui family were far apart.

Now they were suddenly told to move to Yuhe City and replace the Cui family.

Is there such a good thing?

The Great Elder quickly recovered and asked, "Why would he help us? What price does our Xu Family need to pay?"

The other Elders also gradually came to their senses.

That's right, Lu Zhen had no relation to them, so why would he do this?

There is no free lunch in this world. Such a good thing must come with a price.

Xu Qingzhou slowly explained, "Lu Zhen's grandson and Mu Ge entered the Lingyue Sect at the same time. Although he has a Spirit Body and became the disciple of an Inner Sect Elder, compared to Mu Ge, the difference is like a chasm."

"After Lu Zhen learned this, he wanted to befriend our Xu Family, which is why he came up with such a method."

The seven Elders suddenly understood.

So that's it. Everything made sense now.

The Second Elder asked curiously, "Just how good is Mu Ge's talent? To the point where even a Spirit Body finds it difficult to match him?"

Xu Qingzhou said seriously, "So good that even for a Lingyue Sect Supreme Elder, becoming his Master would be considered a great fortune. In the future, the Lingyue Sect and the Great Qi Dynasty will both be proud of him."

Hiss!!

Originally, they had no concept of Xu Muge's talent, but Xu Qingzhou's confident words instantly made it clear to them.

They had thought that the appearance of Xu Luo, who was taken as a disciple by a powerful figure in the Xu Family, was already a sign of great fortune.

Unexpectedly, there was an even more formidable Xu Muge.

This is truly Heaven blessing the Xu Family!

The seven Elders' excitement was palpable.

Xu Qingzhou stood up and said, "Alright everyone, quickly notify the clansmen to pack their things and prepare for the move."

"Are we all moving at once, or little by little?" the Second Elder asked.

Xu Qingzhou replied, "Clansmen above the Qi Gathering Realm will all move. If they have special reasons and want to stay, they can."

"Whether it's Yunshan City or Yuhe City, in the future, they will only be bases for our Xu Family."

A large Family cannot all be Cultivators. Ordinary people living in a city full of Cultivators would be unaccustomed and uncomfortable; it's better for them to live in a smaller city.

After the Xu Family moves to Lingyue City, only some ordinary people of the Xu Family will remain in Yunshan City, and some Cultivators will be left to guard Yuhe City.

…..

Lu Zhen, at the birthday banquet, had been smiling all the time, appearing kind, friendly, and approachable.

In reality, he was also a ruthless person with iron-blooded methods.

Since he had reached a cooperation with Xu Qingzhou, he did not delay at all.

First, the Cui family's Purple Mansion Old Ancestor was lured to the City Lord's Mansion and killed. Then, all the city guards were dispatched to hunt down and kill the Cui family members.

For a time, Yuhe City was thrown into turmoil.

In just two days, the Cui family, the number one Family in Yuhe City, ceased to exist.

Before the Cui family's Clan Leader, Cui Chengye, died, he stared at Lu Zhen with blood and tears streaming from his eyes, gritting his teeth as he asked.

"Why??"

He wanted to ask why Lu Zhen was treating their Cui family this way. He believed that the Cui family had not offended the City Lord's Mansion and had always had various cooperations with them.

Why did he suddenly turn hostile and even seek to annihilate them?

Because this is a world where strength is respected and the weak are prey to the strong. Killing a person or destroying a Family requires no reason.

However, out of consideration for Cui Chengye in his dying moments, Lu Zhen still explained the reason.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking calmly at his old friend.

"I want the Xu Family to move to Yuhe City, so I can only ask your Cui family to move aside."

"To prevent you from harboring resentment towards me, I decided to cut the grass and eliminate the roots."

If Lu Zhen had asked the Cui family to move away, the Cui family would definitely have agreed.

However, it would be hard to avoid resentment. If, one day in the future, the Cui family produced a Heavenly Prodigy who returned for revenge, that would not be acceptable.

Therefore, the best method was to directly destroy them, ending everything once and for all.

"Pfft!!"

Cui Chengye, upon hearing the answer, spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes wide, trembling with rage.
