For the next few days, Qi Xuan collected all the books he could. Once he collected them, he sent them back to the Qi Family’s library immediately and delivered them to Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao was basically satisfied with Qi Xuan’s actions. Books were already slowly piling up in the library, enough for Ye Xiao to study carefully for a long time.
However, this was not enough. It was far from enough. Ye Xiao needed more.
Taking advantage of the fact that he had been collecting books for the past two days, Qi Xuan suppressed the major families. At the same time, he expanded the Qi Family’s sphere of influence to the entire Black Gold City, obtaining a large amount of cultivation resources for the Qi Family.
On the third day, Qi Xuan began to attack the Lin Family, which had the deepest foundation in Black Gold City. He especially left the Lin Family for the last day, also because he wanted to bring the momentum to crush the Lin Family completely and avenge the Qi Family!
..…
“Lin Family!”
Qi Xuan led many experts to the Lin Family’s gate early in the morning.
The front of the Lin Family’s residence was empty. However, Qi Xuan knew that the Lin Family had not left Black Gold City. Instead, they had withdrawn all their forces to the Lin Family mansion.
“Still trying to put on a struggle?”
Qi Xuan felt a burst of joy. When had the Lin Family ever fallen to such a state?
In fact, Qi Xuan was very happy that the Lin Family had withdrawn all their strength and wanted to struggle while nearing death. The more the Lin Family resisted, the more reason he had to completely annihilate the Lin Family.
“Go, call the Lin Family out!”
Qi Xuan waved his hand, and a few descendants of the Qi Family immediately stepped forward. Just as they were about to knock on the gate, the Lin Family’s gate actually creaked open slowly.
Many Lin Family descendants quickly walked out of the door. All of them glared at the Qi Family with killing intent.
In fact, four or five experts of the Lin Family who were Chaos Dust Realm warriors appeared in the crowd. This was the only strength the Lin Family had left, but none of them could be underestimated. Without Fang Da and Phantom’s strength, the Qi Family could not do anything to the Lin Family at all.
“Heh, Qi Xuan, who’d have thought a junior like you can force my Lin Family into such a state? You’re really ruthless. I didn’t expect you to be such an ambitious person back then!”
In the end, an old man with a ruddy face walked out of the Lin Family’s door. He was leaning on a walking stick, but his demeanor was hale and hearty.
Qi Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of surprise appeared in them. He said in a low voice, “Lin Qingyuan! I didn’t expect an old fogey like you to still be alive. You’ve concealed yourself well!”
Qi Xuan was very wary. This Lin Qingyuan was a great expert who had become famous in the Lin Family three hundred years ago. His strength was already at the peak of a Chaos Dust Realm.
About a hundred years ago, he had heard that Lin Qingyuan had failed to break through to Chaos Spirit Realm and died. He did not expect him to still be alive now. It seemed like this news was deliberately released by the Lin Family back then, to keep Lin Qingyuan as the Lin Family’s final trump card.
Facing the strongest expert of the Lin Family from a hundred years ago, it was impossible for Qi Xuan not to be wary. However, when he thought of Fang Da and Phantom beside him, he could not help but calm down slightly.
As long as Lin Qingyuan did not break through and become a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior, it was impossible for him to be Phantom’s match.
“Heh, how prestigious was your Qi Family back then? It’s not easy to overthrow your Qi Family. For the past hundred years, your Qi Family has been declining day by day. I had thought that the best opportunity to destroy the Qi Family had come. Unexpectedly, our efforts failed at the final lap.”
Lin Qingyuan held his walking stick, and a trace of vexation appeared on his face.
They were just a little bit away from completely destroying the Qi Family. He did not expect the Qi Family to be so lucky that there would actually be a turnaround. On the other hand, the Lin Family was now in imminent danger instead.
Qi Xuan’s bearing was not to be outdone in the slightest. He took a step forward and sneered, “Lin Qingyuan, so what if an old fogey like you is still alive? When you see your Lin Family destroyed later, you’d probably wish you were dead, haha.”
Qi Xuan threw his head back and laughed aloud.
“Heh, the final winner is still undecided. Qi Xuan, you’re still a little too juvenile to fight against me.”
“Hmm?”
Qi Xuan was a little surprised and uncertain, not knowing what Lin Qingyuan had to rely on.
However, Lin Qingyuan turned slightly and said to his back, “Young Master Hao, the main character has arrived. Please show yourself.”
As soon as he finished speaking, another person in a blue robe walked out of the Lin Family’s door. He had a noble bearing and a proud expression. The aura on his body was elegant. It was obvious that he came from an extraordinary background.
Moreover, standing in the crowd, his aura was like a crane among a flock of chickens, impossible to ignore.
“Young Master Hao?”
Qi Xuan stared intently at Young Master Hao. There were actually nine powerful cultivators behind Young Master Hao. When they emitted their auras, all of them were peak Chaos Dust Realm warriors. ．𝘦𝘵
Even Young Master Hao was a Mid Stage Chaos Dust Realm warrior!
Any peak Chaos Dust Realm warrior might be able to sweep through the entire Black Gold City. Now, nine of them had appeared at once, and there was an unknown Young Master Hao.
“Who are you? Are you trying to interfere in the matters between the Qi Family and the Lin Family?”
“So what if I interfere? Is there anything I can’t interfere in a mere Black Gold City?”
Young Master Hao’s tone was cold, as if he did not take the Qi Family seriously at all.
Lin Qingyuan laughed loudly and said, “Haha, that’s right. Young Master Hao can naturally do whatever he pleases in a mere Black Gold City.”
Pausing, a cold glint flashed across Lin Qingyuan’s eyes. He said coldly to Qi Xuan, “Qi Xuan, I’m afraid you still don’t know, right? This Young Master Hao is the Young Master of the Hao family in Crystal City!”
“What? The Hao family of Crystal City?”
Qi Xuan was shocked. The Qi Family had been in Black Gold City for a thousand years. How could they not have heard of the Hao family of Crystal City? That was a famous family which once gave birth to a Late Stage Chaos Spirit Realm warrior.
Even though that person from the Hao family seemed to have gone missing, and was rumored by many to be dead, the Hao family could still dominate the surrounding cities and become one of the top families.
Compared to the Hao family of Crystal City, the current Qi Family and the Lin Family were like ants before an elephant. There was no basis for comparison at all.
“That’s right. Since you know the reputation of our Hao family, why don’t you be good and offer that Chaos Beast to me?”
Young Master Hao’s gaze was already scanning the Phantom.
Qi Xuan’s heart skipped a beat. He immediately understood. The true goal of the Hao Family was Phantom!
The Lin Family must have informed the Hao Family about the Phantom’s appearance in the Black Gold City and its terrifying strength. Through some exchange of interests, the Hao Family could take action, and each would take what they needed.
“What a cunning old fox!”
Qi Xuan looked at Lin Qingyuan for a long while. He knew that Lin Qingyuan must have come up with this nefarious scheme. Compared to this Lin Qingyuan, Qi Xuan was still a little inexperienced.
However, so what if it was the Hao family?
Now that Qi Xuan was already tied to Ye Xiao, they were bound together for good or bad. There was no way out at all.
Hence, Qi Xuan gritted his teeth and bowed respectfully to Fang Da beside him. “Sir Fang Da, please help!”
“Heh, no problem, no problem.” Fang Da grinned. Then he looked at Phantom and spoke, “Phantom, time to work.”
“Swoosh!”
Phantom opened its red eyes. Its huge head shook slightly, and its gaze instantly locked onto the ten people from the Hao Family.
