Chapter 887: The Overlord of Tianfeng City (Please Subscribe)_1
Just then, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Look! The people from the Bai Gong Family have come out!!"
No sooner had these words been spoken than the gazes of the surrounding people all turned in one direction…
They belonged to the Bai Gong Clan, and their robes were already saturated with crimson blood. Whose blood it was didn't need to be said…
Leading them was an exceptionally handsome man, even Bai Gong Li stood behind him, not daring to steal his spotlight…
It was Xu Sheng, as he looked towards Bai Gongyu beside him and smiled, "What's wrong? Still not accustomed to this kind of thing?"
The slightly pale Bai Gongyu nodded and said, "Yes… I'm still not quite used to such matters!"
That scene, it was blood…
An endless sea of blood had dyed the entire Mo Family Mansion a scarlet hue…
Decay, and the stench of rotting, filled the air…
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng replied in a soft, comforting tone, "You'll get used to it after a while!"
Bai Gongyu weakly responded with a "Hmm!"
And Bai Gong Li, as the Clan Leader of the Bai Gong Clan, his cheeks flushed with gratitude, also said to Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, our Bai Gong Family owes our situation today to you! I just never expected that even the fight to the death between the Wang Family and Mo Family would be within your calculations."
If he had previously thought that Xu Sheng was merely someone with strong abilities, now he couldn't help but admire the other's astonishing intellect…
Xu Sheng just smiled lightly, "It's not that exaggerated, I merely went with the flow…"
He had not anticipated that the Wang Family would be lured into attacking the Mo Family by such a trivial ruse—it just proved how foolish Wang Feng was…
It wasn't just them, the disciples of the Bai Gong Clan following close behind were also brimming with excitement and exultation…
You could faintly hear them continuously declaring, "We've actually annihilated the Mo Family and the Wang Family, hahaha! From now on, the Bai Gong Family will be the top clan in Tianfeng City! Who dare challenge us?"
"Yes! I can hardly believe it myself. The two families that have hindered us for so many years have collapsed overnight!"
"We owe it all to the strategies of Lord Xu Sheng."
"Hey, weren't you the one who always looked down on others before? And now you're calling him 'Lord'!"
"Hey-heh, didn't you say that was before? It's different now!"
"No matter what, our dominance of Tianfeng City wouldn't be possible without the guidance of Lord Xu Sheng."
As the people of Tianfeng City who were watching them heard these words, their previous suspicions were confirmed…
"It seems the rumors are true! The Bai Gong Family really has eliminated the other two great families!"
"How profound must their foundation be, to destroy the other two families? I'm really curious."
"Now that there's only the Bai Gong Family left as a major power, they'll likely reach new heights soon. Other smaller families seeking to cozy up will probably start fawning over them before long."
…
Inside Bai Gong Mansion! In the great hall…
At this moment, dozens of men with exceptional cultivation levels were standing. They were, in fact, from various mid to small-sized families within Tianfeng City…
And there sat Bai Gong Li at the head of the table, enjoying the swelling pride, took a deep breath and feigned calm, "Please, have a seat, everyone."
Before yesterday, the Bai Gong Family, while also revered, had never been as outrageously prestigious as they were now…
Even these dozens of clan leaders didn't dare to sit down on their own initiative!
After hearing his words, these clan leaders then all sat down, constantly watching Bai Gong Li's expression…
Among them, one clan leader took the lead in taking out a Storage Cosmos Bag, his face full of fawning as he said, "Family Head Bai Gong, what a brilliant move! To actually annihilate the other two Family Heads, this is a small token from our Lin Family!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Gong Li raised an eyebrow and stroked his beard a few times, his tone leisurely, "I'm afraid this might be inappropriate, no?"
At such a rare opportunity, how could he not play hard to get?
The clan leader instantly understood, he said with a stern face, "What's so inappropriate about it? I have long felt that the Bai Gong Family would definitely become the overlord of Tianfeng City, and it turned out to be true! Please accept this modest gift, as a courtesy to our Lin Family..."
Bai Gong Li feigned hesitation and sighed, then he reached out and took the Storage Cosmos Bag, shaking his head, "All right, consider it as giving face to your Lin Family."
Those words immediately made the other seated clan leaders' eyes sparkle with light…
They rushed to say, "The Bai Gong Family becoming the overlord of Tianfeng City, we certainly can't just stand by and do nothing. This is a token of regard from my Li Family, please accept it."
"Yes, yes! The Bai Gong Family must have also suffered heavy losses from eliminating the other two great clans, these items can be seen as an expression of our regret for not providing timely assistance!"
"Yes! Family Head Bai Gong, please accept it. After this, our smaller clans will need to rely on you even more."
Bai Gong Li grandly waved his sleeve, "Hey, we are all clans of Tianfeng City, we should help each other. But since everyone is so thoughtful, I, Bai Gong Li, am not an unseasonable person. I'll tentatively accept it!"
His face was expressionless, but his heart was blossoming with joy!
Meanwhile, Bai Gongyu, watching Bai Gong Li's handling of these clan leaders' gestures, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle lightly…
Then, she exclaimed with a sigh, "Who would have thought that after our Bai Gong Family eliminated the other two great families, these clans that once opposed us would come to curry favor!"
Beside her, Xu Sheng glanced at her, "Why think so much? It's just human nature. If it were the Mo Family or the Wang Family, they would do the same!"
Hearing this explanation, Bai Gongyu puffed up her cheeks with a touch of pride, "I know that!"
Xu Sheng just smiled and took out a sheepskin paper map looted from the Storage Cosmos Bag…
After opening it, he immediately began to roughly estimate his current location…
Tianfeng City was but a remote place!
When he looked again at the position of Central State, his brows knit together once more as he muttered to himself, "Does it really take so long to reach Central State?"
Seeing Xu Sheng taking out the map, Bai Gongyu's heart suddenly tensed…
Her tone fairly urgent, she asked, "Xu Sheng… are you… planning to leave?"
Xu Sheng just responded with a noncommittal "Hmm."...
Hearing that answer, something bitter stirred within Bai Gongyu…
Then, holding on to the last of her hopes, she pleaded, "Can't you stay here?"
Xu Sheng gazed into her Beautiful Eyes sparkling with light, pursed his lips without replying, and gently stroked her hair with a tender hand…
Internally, he couldn't help but sigh, "You should know the outcome..."
Once he had mastered all of the High-Level Martial Arts Techniques from both the Mo Family and the Wang Family, it was time for him to leave this place!
This realm, after all, was not where he belonged…
