Chapter 67

During this month, two major events happened in the Greedy Wolf City.

Firstly, a mysterious bandit had appeared in the city, and he'd repeatedly committed crimes and specialized in stealing medicinal pills and medicinal ingredients, causing many aristocratic families and medicinal stores to have endless headaches.

Second, the escalating conflict between the Lan family and the Huang family.

A younger generation member of the Huang family, who was also the cousin of the current head of the family, Huang Fei, got into a quarrel with the Lan family while playing in a brothel and was beaten black and blue. When he was sent back to the Huang family, he was on the verge of death.

With the complete disappearance of the Qian family in the Greedy City, the conflict between the two families became more and more prominent. After this incident, it finally got out of hand.

The Huang family who had swallowed their anger finally couldn't hold back anymore and began to fight back against the Lan family.

First, the Lan family's restaurant caught on fire. Then, a younger generation member of the Lan family was inexplicably beaten up at night and almost half of his body was paralyzed.

Once such a counterattack appeared, the conflict between the two sides finally turned from secret to open. The smell of gunpowder was very strong.

After a few small-scale conflicts, everyone in the Greedy Wolf City could clearly feel that the two sides had become like fire and water. It wouldn't be long before one of the families disappeared!

At this time, the Lan family released a shocking news!

Spiritual Master Liu and Monk Silver officially joined the Lan family and became the Lan family's guardians!

Suddenly, the Lan family had a total of four guardians!

When this news came out, it was like a hurricane that immediately swept through the huge Greedy Wolf City.

Although everyone didn't think the Huang family would win, they still had two cultivators. Even if the Lan family wanted to touch them, it would be very difficult.

But now it was different. With the addition of two new cultivators, there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides.

On the Huang family's side, there was only the Huang family head who was rumored to be at the end of his lifespan and the immature Chen Gu. Anyone could see that the Huang family was finished!

For a moment, the Lan family raised their arms and shouted. All the big and small forces in the city surrendered. The Huang family was already on the verge of despair!

"Head, what should we do now?"

"The reason that Daoist Master Liu and Monk Silver joined the Lan Family was obviously because they harbored resentment and wanted to take revenge on Chen Gu and my Huang Family! And what about Chen Gu, what is he doing? "

"In the past month, besides staying in his own courtyard and squandering the huge amount of resources my Huang Family has given him, has he done anything proper?"

Inside the Huang Family's meeting hall, a group of people were as anxious as ants on a hot pan because of the Lan Family's addition of two more Elders.

Consort Huang's first and second uncles were righteously criticizing her for her dereliction of duty as the head of the household.

She was the one who invited Chen Gu, but he didn't do anything in the past month. He only let the Huang Family endure silently and even gave the Qian Family's property to the Lan Family for nothing, which led to the current terrible situation!

Originally, with Huang Fei's prestige as the head of the Lan Family, no one dared to voice out their anger and could only do as she said. But now that the Lan Family had two more worshippers, everyone could no longer hold back their anger.

Concubine Huang sat on the Patriarch's seat. Her brows were tightly furrowed and she could not hide the exhaustion on her face.

Over the past few days, she had been exhausted by the Lan Family's activities and felt extremely exhausted.

It would have been fine if that was all, but because Senior Chen had never shown up, her first and second uncles had more and more doubts about him.

There were already many people in the Huang Family who did not listen to her. They had even secretly set fire to the Lan Family's restaurant, causing the situation to escalate further.

"Perfected Cultivator Liu and Monk Yintuo were there for the money. Even if they had no conflict with Senior Chen, they would still go there."

Concubine Huang explained, defending Gu Chen.

"Also, first and second uncles, you shouldn't have let people set fire to the Lan Family's restaurant. Grandpa is in seclusion and the situation is unclear. We should have endured."

"Endured? How long do we have to endure? If we continue to endure, the Huang Family will be gone! "

The first uncle of the Huang Family snorted coldly.

Concubine Huang felt mentally and physically exhausted. Things had come to this point, but the family still could not unite.

"Report – a letter from the Lan Family!"

Just then, a servant of the Huang Family rushed in with a letter in his hand.

Everyone's expression changed. Concubine Huang took the letter and opened it.

With a single glance, his face turned pale!

"What is the Lan Family trying to do?"

The first and second uncles of the Huang Family also came over to have a look. When they saw the content of the letter, their faces darkened.

A letter of challenge!

It was a letter of challenge!

The Lan Family said in the letter that since the conflict between the two parties was irreconcilable, they would challenge the Huang Family to a battle of life and death tomorrow!

The loser would have to leave the Tan Lang City!

"Despicable Lan Family! They are not the only ones who have the final say in this matter! They are coming tomorrow! They did not even give us a chance to ask for help! "

The second uncle of the Huang Family said angrily.

"If they lose, they will leave the Tan Lang City! Who gave them the right to do so? The Huang Family does not agree to this! We will not accept this unfair battle! "

The first uncle of the Huang Family said.

"I'm afraid we have no choice but to accept it."

Concubine Huang read the letter again and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

"The Lan Family Leader said that Elder Wu from the Yun Yan Sect will come tomorrow. It seems that the Yun Yan Sect has tacitly agreed to this."

The Yun Yan Sect!

These three words were like a towering mountain, sinking heavily into the hearts of everyone from the Huang Family.

In their territory, the Yun Yan Sect was the most powerful force. The Tan Lang City was under their jurisdiction.

Now, they had tacitly agreed to let the Lan Family attack the Huang Family. If they agreed to the battle, everything would be fine. If not, the Huang Family would be covered in blood.

Everyone understood the situation. The hall was dead silent.

"A battle of life and death. Does that mean it is a battle between the masters?"

"The Huang Family only has one master, Chen Gu. How can we fight against four masters from the Lan Family?"

The first uncle murmured in despair.

"It's too late to ask for help. No, we have to ask father to come out of seclusion!"

The second uncle said hurriedly.

Concubine Huang did not stop him. This was a matter of life and death.

The Lan Family had put it nicely. The loser would have to leave the Tan Lang City.

But in a place as chaotic as Baijing Prefecture, if a family lost its foundation, there would be wild wolves waiting to take a bite out of them.

The loser would be extermination!

"First uncle, second uncle, go check on grandpa. I, I will go talk to Senior Chen about this!"

Concubine Huang said through gritted teeth. Everyone nodded and went their separate ways.

"Has the Lan Family issued a challenge?"

In the courtyard, Gu Chen had just finished his sword practice. When he heard Concubine Huang's words, he could not help but smile mockingly.

After a month, the limelight had already passed, and no one mentioned the Qian family anymore.

He had used up almost all the elixirs and resources he had obtained from Qian Fengbao. The Lan Family was rushing to his door to present him with gifts.

"Senior Chen, what should we do now? Do you know any cultivator friends who can help at this time? "

Concubine Huang asked anxiously.
