Chapter 65

The Lan Clan was already rich and powerful in the Tan Lang City. If they swallowed up the Qian Clan's business, their power would expand to an extremely high level.

The three forces originally kept each other in check. Now that the Qian Clan was gone, the Huang Clan, whose situation was the least optimistic, suddenly felt that they would be in the same boat.

"If the Huang Clan and the Lan Clan fight, what are the chances of them winning? How big will the loss be? "

Gu Chen said in a low voice.

"If we don't take into account the cultivators with the Divine Ability, the manpower of the Huang Clan's Martial Pavilion is not as good as that of the Lan Clan. Furthermore, once they fall out with each other, the operations of the medicine workshop and the weapon market will be greatly affected, and the losses will not be small."

"But optimistically, if we can take over the Qian family's most profitable brothels and gambling houses, all the losses will be worth it."

Huang Fei quickly analyzed the situation. She had already thought about the pros and cons of the matter and was prepared to take a gamble.

However, the Huang Clan was currently relying on Gu Chen's protection. If they were to go to war, it would definitely escalate to the level of a battle between cultivators. Thus, they had to listen to Gu Chen's opinion.

"If we fight with the Lan Clan, will Old Master Huang be able to come out in time?"

Gu Chen said again.

"It's hard to say when Grandfather will come out of seclusion."

Huang Fei shook her head. Over the past two years, her grandfather's condition had not been optimistic. The time he spent in seclusion was also longer than the last.

If possible, she did not want him to make a move. That way, she would be able to live a little longer.

"Looks like the Huang Family Patriarch is at a critical moment in his closed-door training. It would be extremely unwise to start a war with the Lan Family at this time. Let's give the Qian Family's property to them."

Gu Chen said calmly.

"Give it to them? Don't tell me we don't want all the properties of the Qian Family? "

Concubine Huang was astonished.

"That's right. There's no harm in letting them have it for now." Gu Chen's face was expressionless and his tone was firm.

Deep disappointment appeared in the depths of Consort Huang's eyes.

From her point of view, this battle with the Lan family was unavoidable. Retreating now would only result in a more miserable death.

In fact, she was already leaning towards making a move. She came to ask Gu Chen mainly because she hoped that he could boost her courage.

However, she didn't expect that the young man she admired would make her retreat at this moment.

There's no harm in giving it to them temporarily?

If they gave in this time, the Huang Family would never be able to rise again!

"By the way, if there's nothing important in the next few days, don't look for me."

Gu Chen added before entering his room.

Consort Huang stood rooted to the ground, a bitter smile forming on her lips.

He told me not to look for him. Does he mean that if I don't listen to him and take action against the Lan family, he won't help me?

Huang Fei suddenly wondered if she had misjudged this person. She left with a sense of loss in her heart.

Inside the house, Gu Chen's divine sense sensed that Huang Fei had left dejectedly. He shook his head gently.

"Miss Huang is quite bold. She wants to compete with the Lan Clan at this time and save the Huang Clan from its decline."

"If we're lucky, the Huang family will only need to pay a small price in exchange for greater benefits. We might even be able to reverse the impression of weakness in the eyes of others."

"But this is not a good thing for me."

The main reason why Gu Chen gave the suggestion to retreat temporarily was to be cautious.

With such a big incident happening in the Qian Family, it would definitely attract the attention of some people.

At this time, whoever stood out first would be easily targeted.

Gu Chen wasn't afraid of trouble, but he had disguised himself as an assassin from the Nether God Palace last night. Xiao Que and the others had sensitive identities. At this juncture, keeping a low profile was the right choice.

If the Lan Clan wanted to swallow up the Qian Clan, then let them. He would let them be proud for a period of time. He would then take care of them without any bloodshed.

At that time, not only would the Huang Clan not suffer any losses from the fight, but they would also gain more benefits. As a consecrator, he would also be able to obtain more cultivation resources.

Gu Chen was far-sighted and didn't care about these temporary gains and losses. But Consort Huang was different.

In order to prevent her from acting first and reporting later, he hinted that she would be able to keep her composure.

"After killing Qian Fengbao this time, there are quite a few unexpected gains."

Gu Chen no longer cared about the Huang Clan's matters. He took out Qian Fengbao's storage ring.

As the Qian Clan's Clan Leader and a mid-stage Divine Power cultivator, Qian Fengbao was extremely wealthy.

Other than the fixed assets that couldn't be moved away from the brothels and gambling dens, the majority of the Qian Clan's wealth was in this storage ring.

Gu Chen erased the divine sense imprint that Qian Fengbao left on the storage ring. His divine sense entered the ring and took out the spoils of war one by one. He started counting them.

One hundred thousand crystals, one bottle of Yellow Grade Upper Grade Elixirs, four bottles of Middle Grade Elixirs, and more than twenty bottles of Low Grade Elixirs.

There were two Yellow Grade Middle Grade Transcendent Artifacts, including the saber he used earlier. As for Low Grade Transcendent Artifacts, there were four.

As for the other medicinal ingredients, talismans, and other items, they were also a considerable sum.

In addition, there were two saber arts and one sword art, all of which were Yellow Grade.

Qian Fengbao's wealth was many times richer than that of Gu Chen, who had just been appointed as a consecrator not long ago.

"The monthly salary given by the Huang Clan is far from enough for my cultivation. Now that I have this additional wealth, I can finally solve this urgent problem."

"These Transcendent Artifacts are quite useful to me. Luckily, I killed him last night when he was least expecting it. Otherwise, even if he couldn't beat me, it wouldn't be difficult for him to escape."

"These Transcendent Artifacts are quite useful to me. Luckily, I killed him last night when he was least expecting it. Otherwise, even if he couldn't beat me, it wouldn't be difficult for him to escape."

Gu Chen still had lingering fears. Of the two Yellow Grade Middle Grade Transcendent Artifacts, one was that saber, called the Flame Astral Saber, and the other was a pair of Wind Travel Wings.

Looking at these trump cards, Qian Fengbao died unjustly. Who would have thought that he only wanted to force Gu Chen to retreat, but Gu Chen, that madman, would trade injuries for injuries, and in the end, even his head exploded.

Looking at these trump cards, Qian Fengbao's death was really unjust. Who would have thought that he only wanted to force Gu Chen to retreat, but Gu Chen, that lunatic, would actually exchange injuries for injuries, and in the end, even his head exploded.

Elixirs could increase Gu Chen's cultivation, Transcendent Artifacts could increase Gu Chen's battle prowess, and the remaining two Saber Arts and Sword Arts were also quite helpful to Gu Chen.

Although the secret arts of the Sun and Moon Training were powerful, he had only just started cultivating the Stars Carrying Moon Steps and the Sun Embracing Moon Hammer, and it would take a lot of time to cultivate them.

Other than that, the only offensive arts he had were the Dustless Sword Art and the Five Fingers Capturing Fire Technique.

Other than the last level of the Dustless Sword Art, the first three levels were only of the Mortal Grade, and to the current Gu Chen, they were of little help.

When he fought with Qian Fengbao last night, the Saber Art that he displayed was quite profound, and it was a level higher than the Dustless Sword Art.

With his two Saber Arts and one Sword Art, Gu Chen believed that he would be able to improve at a faster rate.

He flipped through the three secret manuals one by one, and they were the Yellow Grade Lower Grade Wind Chant Saber Art, the Middle Grade Blazing Flame Saber Art, and the High Grade Shadow Sword Art.

The Saber Art and Sword Art each had their own profoundness, and after a few glances, Gu Chen already had an idea of the difficulty.

Compared to the 88 Layered Heavens Secret Technique, the Saber Art and Sword Art were much easier to understand, and with his perception, he would be able to grasp them in a short period of time.
