Chapter 55 Robbed by Bandits

Exactly one year has passed since Xu Qingzhou became the Xu Family Clan Leader and the first Heavenly Chosen appeared.

The Xu Family has also undergone earth-shattering changes in this year.

From an insignificant small Family in Yunshan City, they moved to Yuhe City and became a true fourth-rate force.

Although fourth-rate forces are as numerous as cattle hair throughout the entire Great Qi Dynasty and not worth mentioning, the Xu Family, compared to other fourth-rate forces, can definitely be said to have boundless prospects and a promising future.

Recalling a year ago, the Xu Family only had three in the Xuan Dan Realm, fifteen in the Naling Realm, and forty in the Qi Gathering Realm.

The strongest, Xu Qingzhou, had just broken through to Xuan Dan (Middle Stage).

Currently in the Xu Family, Xu Qingzhou is at Xuan Dan (Late Stage). Among the seven Elders, the Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder are at Xuan Dan (Middle Stage), and the remaining four are at Xuan Dan Realm (Early Stage).

In addition, the number of Naling Realm Cultivators has reached as many as forty-five.

This is because the Xu Family produced two Heavenly Chosen, and the System enhanced the talent of the Xu Family members.

At the same time, having abundant resources is also sufficient to support the Family members' cultivation.

In the future, as time passes, the Xu Family will definitely become stronger and stronger.

However, during this trip to the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, Xu Luo made a splash in the selection competition, and Xu Muge also began to show his edge.

For a time, the Xu Family's prominence was unmatched, and they were also targeted by many forces.

It is too dangerous in a city like Yuhe City.

The moment Xu Qingzhou returned, he immediately summoned the seven Elders and asked them to prepare for the move.

"This time we are moving to Lingyue City, and at least for a long time, we will not move again."

The Third Elder had some concerns.

"Lingyue City has many Cultivators and complex forces. We don't understand that place, and moving there rashly might be counterproductive to the Family's development."

Xu Qingzhou replied, "I naturally understand this point, but only in Lingyue City will our Xu Family be safe."

"Clan Leader, which forces are targeting our Xu Family?" the Great Elder asked.

Xu Qingzhou looked into the distance and said wistfully, "The Seven Stars Sect is just the weakest among them."

Tai Xu Sect and the Prince Zhennan of the Great Chu Dynasty are alright, after all, what Xu Luo and Xu Muge did has not been exposed yet.

On the side of the Third Prince and Ninth Prince, Xu Qingzhou detected a hint of killing intent.

These are all existences that the Xu Family cannot afford to provoke at the moment.

"Ah?"

The Seven Stars Sect is a second-rate force, second only to Lingyue Sect, Tai Xu Sect, and Wanbao Pavilion. And it's still the weakest among them?

"This… this… this…."

The seven Elders looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.

Xu Qingzhou stood up and said, "Alright, I called you Elders here to inform you of the decision to move, not to discuss it with you. Within three days, we must pack everything properly and move to Lingyue City."

Last time they moved, the Xu Family didn't have so many people or so many businesses, so they packed up quickly.

Now, the Xu Family in Yuhe City can definitely be considered a large Family with extensive businesses. Three days is indeed a bit tight, but they have to be this fast; time waits for no one.

Before Xu Qingzhou could leave, Butler Fu suddenly rushed over in a hurry.

"Clan Leader, Elders."

Xu Qingzhou asked, "What happened?"

"Our diamond mine was looted by marauders," Butler Fu replied.

The Third Elder had a fiery temper and slammed the armrest of his chair, "How bold! They actually dared to rob our Xu Family! Where are these marauders from?"

"Moyun Mountain."

The Elders' expressions froze.

Moyun Mountain is a special mountain range located at the border between the Great Qi Dynasty and the Great Chu Dynasty. The terrain there is complex, it is covered by clouds and mist year-round, and various demonic beasts roam there.

Due to various reasons, many bandits and marauders are entrenched there, and over time, they have formed forces with considerable strength.

The overall strength of the strongest few bandit camps is even not inferior to second-rate forces like the Seven Stars Sect. Every so often, they will attack some Family forces.

The Cui family was also robbed by them before, but the Xu Family was not, because they were too weak and too poor for others to care about.

Now that they have become rich, they have naturally become their prey.

If they were ordinary marauders, the Xu Family would definitely seek revenge.

But if they are marauders from Moyun Mountain, they need to consider it carefully.

Xu Qingzhou asked, "What are the losses and casualties?"

"All the inventory in the mine was completely looted, and no one in the entire mining area survived," Butler Fu replied heavily.

Hearing this, the Elders were furious.

"Outrageous! Clan Leader! We must avenge this!"

"Right! Blood debt must be paid with blood!!"

Xu Qingzhou looked at the agitated Elders and pondered for a moment.

"Second Elder, Third Elder, you select a group of Family members to investigate this matter thoroughly. If the opponent's strength is ordinary, you can directly take action. If it is one of those large bandit camps, come back and plan for the long term."

"But remember, you must be back within three days. Our moving plan cannot be delayed."

"Oh right, Xiao Luo is still at home. Take him with you."

Although Xu Luo's strength is not as good as the two at Xuan Dan (Middle Stage), he is far superior to them in other aspects.

Having Xu Luo go along is not for them to broaden his horizons, but for Xu Luo to protect them.

Don't look at them being at Xuan Dan (Middle Stage) while Xu Luo is only at Naling (Late Stage); he has quite a few trump cards.

Although Xu Qingzhou didn't ask, he could be sure that in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, Xu Luo and Xu Muge definitely had the biggest gains.

Because after they came out of the Secret Realm, they took out a large pile of heavenly materials and earthly treasures for Xu Qingzhou, saying that they couldn't use them and they were for other Family members.

It is clear how great their harvest was inside.

"Understood!"

The Second Elder and Third Elder couldn't wait to go and investigate the situation.

Their Xu Family has developed smoothly this past year. Where have they ever suffered such a grievance? They must get this back!!

At the same time.

Xu Qingzhou also left the Xu Family and headed to Lingyue City. The Xu Family would be moving in three days, and he came this time to buy a house.

Originally, Su Xinyan also wanted to come along, but Xu Qingzhou was worried about the Xu Family's safety, so he asked her to stay at home just in case.

Mainly because she was not familiar with Lingyue City and couldn't be of much help.

Xu Qingzhou did not enter the city directly but went to the nearby Lingyue Sect, found Xu Muge, and asked him to go with him.

Xu Qingzhou did this to let Xu Muge recognize his home in advance.

It was definitely not because he was afraid of not having enough Spirit Stones and wanted to fleece him.

Upon learning that the Xu Family was preparing to move to Lingyue City, Xu Muge was overjoyed.

"Great! I have been waiting for this day for a year!!"

Before setting off, Xu Muge specifically called upon his Senior Brother Zheng Guan, who was more familiar with Lingyue City, and the three of them entered the city together.
