Chapter 289 Alas, this sect leader is in trouble!
And then there's Ji Guangqi, who's practically dead inside, yet he's still jumping around.
Originally, the plan was to use him to deal with the Alchemist Association, Zhong Lingxin, and then the Qingyun Sect.
In his heart, only Lu Linchen of the Qingyun Sect was Xutian's opponent, an opponent that had to be eliminated.
He could tell at a glance that the Lan family's affair was definitely the work of Lu Linchen of the Qingyun Sect.
OK!
He really underestimated Lu Linchen.
He originally thought that after suppressing Lu Linchen for so long, Lu Linchen had been hiding his head and not saying a word like a turtle, so he had given in and dared not go against him.
Who would have thought that she would do this to him so quietly?
good very good!
The fact that the Qingyun Sect dared to do this shows they were capable of withstanding his wrath!
Just as the Sect Master of Xutian was about to give instructions to his disciples, a disciple came in to report: "Sect Master, Ancestor Du Yuan, Ancestor Yu Zhu, and Ancestor Jun Hao, who were on their way to Qingling City, have returned and are on their way to the main hall."
The sect leader of the Void Heaven Sect was so angry that his vision went black.
Damn it, we just dealt with a few old geezers, and these three old geezers, instead of putting pressure on the Qingyun Sect in Qingling City, have come back to the sect to cause trouble.
The Sect Master of the Void Heaven Sect took two deep breaths and calmly instructed the disciple who delivered the message: "Please invite the three Venerable Saints into the hall."
Soon, Du Yuan, Yu Zhu, and Jun Hao, the three Transcending Tribulation Saints, hurriedly entered the Tai Xu Palace: "Sect Master, we heard that something happened to the Lan family. Has the Sect Master found out which scoundrel did it? If there is anything we need to do, please give us your orders."
The Sect Master of the Void Heaven Sect wished he could spit in their faces.
What do they need to do?
Putting pressure on the Law Enforcement Association and the Qingyun Sect in Qingling City is what he needs them to do now!
But instead of doing their proper work, they came back to fight for profits.
The Sect Master of Xutian smiled and said, "You three senior uncles have worked hard. The Lan family's affairs are currently being adjusted, and there is no need for you three senior uncles to take action for the time being."
How are the matters handled by the three senior uncles at the Law Enforcement Association?
"That Feng Yu is the most cunning. Has he said how to deal with the Alchemist Association, how to deal with Zhong Lingxin who killed my Taixu Sect cultivators, and how to deal with the Qingyun Sect behind Zhong Lingxin?"
Du Yuan and Yu Zhu Junhao were both embarrassed, but they were both old and shrewd people who had lived for tens of thousands of years, so their skin was naturally thick.
The three immediately changed the subject: "Sect Master, don't worry. Ever since the Feng family was confined to their own ancestral land, that old codger Feng Yu has become much more obedient. This time, the three of us put pressure on him at the same time, and he dared not take it lightly. He has already agreed to hold the trial as soon as possible."
We came back this time, still for the Lan family's sake.
Speaking of which, the Lan family has been an ancient family of my Taixu Sect for tens of thousands of years. The sect cannot let down the hearts of us, an old family that has contributed to the sect for generations.
"We must find the murderer, give the Lan family an explanation, and also comfort the hearts of us old families who have served the sect for generations."
The Sect Master of the Void Heaven Sect nodded but did not reply.
He waited, waiting for these three shameless guys to say what they meant.
As expected, Junhao was the first to lose his composure. He immediately revealed the reason for the three's return: "Sect Master, I heard that the Lan family is wiped out. What about the cultivation cities they managed, the two spirit stone mines they controlled, and several other mineral resources..."
Du Yuan and Yu Zhu looked calmly at Sect Master Xu Yuan.
Although the sect leader of Xuyuan thought he had done something clever, none of the sect's Transcending Tribulation Saints didn't know that the Lan family was just Xuyuan brat's money bag.
Now that the money bag is torn, they must get a share.
Xu Yuan sat high on the throne, looked at the three people standing on his left and right, and said in a deep voice: "Alas, something happened to the Lan family, and the sect is still investigating."
We need to take stock of the cities and mines managed by the Lan family first.
These past few days, I haven't had time to deal with the Lan family's affairs; I've been busy dealing with wave after wave of Venerable Saints who have come to inquire about the Lan family's situation.
The three Venerable Saints are right. The Lan family's affairs must be handled properly. We cannot let down the hearts of you old families who have contributed to the sect for generations.
Alas, this sect leader is in a difficult situation!
There are too many powerful families who have devoted themselves to the sect for generations. It's simply too much for this sect leader to handle if I have to appease them all.
Du Yuan and the other two exchanged glances, secretly relieved that they had returned in time.
Otherwise, once the old guys guarding the sect have divided up the Lan family, there will be no point in them coming back.
This time, they must get a share, no matter what.
They had already discussed it on their way back. The three families needed to stick together, otherwise they wouldn't be able to compete with the other powerful clans.
The Sect Master of Xutian looked at Du Yuan and the other two with a cold smile.
He had the authority to handle the Lan family's funeral arrangements.
If the Lan family's money bag is broken, he can just find another one.
Once this money bag is replaced, he will have finished handling the Lan family's funeral arrangements.
They want to seize resources from him and expand their own power within the sect!
They're all dreaming big!
It took him a lot of effort to suppress all the monsters and demons in the Taixu Sect.
Nobody can rebel against him!
Anyone who dares to rise up, he will wipe them out!
Seeing that they couldn't get any information out of him for the time being, and knowing the methods of the Void Heaven Sect Master, Du Yuan and the other two didn't dare to press him too hard and quickly took their leave.
After leaving the Taixu Palace, the three exchanged glances and then returned to their respective families to inquire about the details.
Suppressing his irritation, the Sect Master of Xutian instructed his subordinates to quickly compile and report on the situation of Qingyun Sect.
Come and don't go indecent.
If the Qingyun Sect dares to offend him, he will definitely retaliate fiercely.
He wanted to teach Lu Linchen a lesson for offending him.
At the same time, he sent several disciples to secretly go to several mountain peaks to inquire whether the peak masters were willing to take over the management of several areas of the Lan family.
Most importantly, are you willing to give him the lion's share of the profits and only get scraps for yourself?
Aren't the powerful families of the Taixu Sect fighting over this?
He ensured that these powerful families couldn't even get a scrap of food.
He wanted to divide up all the Lan family's interests and distribute them among the minor peak masters who had no powerful backers.
I doubt these minor peak masters without powerful backers would dare not submit to him.
At that time, he turned one large money bag into several smaller money bags.
He wanted to see how others would try to sabotage him.
Alas, what a waste of the Lan family head's ability to amass wealth!
I'm afraid the minor peak masters he found won't be able to collect even half of what the Lan family head handed over.
Thinking of this, the Sect Master of the Void Heaven Sect felt so angry that he wanted to rush to the Azure Cloud Sect to kill people again.
What he didn't expect was that one of his personal disciples was actually Huo Jun's spy.
Therefore, he sent several subordinates to secretly relay messages to the peak masters, ensuring that every message reached Zhong Lingxin without missing a single one.
Holding these lists, Zhong Lingxin secretly praised Xu Tian for his brilliant selection of people.
Most of these peak masters come from small families, and some are even from the secular world.
