In this month, two major events happened in Tanlang City.
First, a mysterious thief appeared in the city. He committed crimes frequently and specialized in stealing elixirs and medicinal materials, causing headaches to many aristocratic families and drug stores.
The second is naturally the gradually escalating conflict between the Lan family and the Huang family.
A descendant of the Huang family, who was also the cousin of the current head of the family, Concubine Huang, got into an argument with someone from the Lan family while having fun in a brothel. He was beaten with bruises all over his body and was already dying when he was sent back to the Huang family.
With the complete demise of the Qian family in Greedy City, the conflict between the two families has become increasingly prominent. After such an incident, it finally got out of control.
The Huang family who had previously swallowed their anger could no longer hold back any longer and began to fight back against the Lan family.
First, the Lan family's restaurant caught fire for no apparent reason, and then a junior member of the Lan family was beaten up for no apparent reason while walking at night, leaving him almost paralyzed.
As soon as such a counterattack appeared, the conflict between the two sides finally turned from covert to open, full of gunpowder.
After several small-scale conflicts, everyone in Tanlang City could clearly feel that the two sides had become incompetent, and they were afraid that one of the families would disappear before long!
At this time, a shocking news broke out from the Lan family!
Two supernatural monks, Liu Zhenren and Yin Tutuo, officially joined the Lan family and became worshipers of the Lan family!
All of a sudden, the Lan family has four worshipers!
As soon as the news came out, it was like a hurricane, sweeping through the huge Tanlang City.
Although everyone originally didn't think highly of the Huang family, there were still two monks in the Huang family. Even if the Lan family wanted to touch them, it would be difficult and their vitality would be greatly damaged.
But things are different now. With two new monks joining the team, there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides.
The only people left in the Huang family were the old head Huang, who was rumored to be dying, and Chen Gu, who was still young and had no sense of existence. Everyone could see that the Huang family was going to be doomed!
Suddenly, the Lan family raised their arms and shouted, and all the forces in the city, large and small, surrendered one after another. The Huang family was on the verge of despair!
"Master, what should I do now?"
"The reason why Zhenren Liu and Yin Tutuo joined the Lan family is obviously because they harbor resentment and want to take revenge on Chen Gu and my Huang family! And what about Chen Gu, what is he doing?"
"In the past month, apart from staying in his own courtyard and squandering the huge resources provided by my Huang family, has he done anything serious?"
In the Huang family's meeting hall, because the Lan family had two more ministers, a group of people were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
Concubine Huang's eldest uncle and second uncle now felt confident and accused her of her dereliction of duty as the head of the family.
She invited Chen Gu to offer sacrifices, but she has done nothing in the past month. She only asked the Huang family to tolerate it, and even gave the Qian family's property to the Lan family in vain, which led to the current terrible situation!
Originally, relying on the prestige of Huang Fei's family, everyone dared not speak out and had no choice but to do as they were told. But now that the Lan family has two more worshipers, everyone finally couldn't hold back their anger.
Concubine Huang was sitting in the position of the head of the family, her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, and her face could not conceal the fatigue.
These days, she has been exhausted by all the movements in the Lan family, and feels very strenuous.
If it was just like this, it would be fine, because Senior Chen has never shown up, and the uncle and second uncle have more and more doubts about him.
Nowadays, many people in Huang's family have disobeyed her. They even secretly set fire to Lan's Restaurant without telling her, which further escalated the situation.
"Zhenren Liu and Yin Tutuo went there for money. Even if they had no conflict with Senior Chen, they would have gone there."
Huang Fei explained and defended Gu Chen.
"Also uncle and second uncle, you shouldn't let people set fire to Lan's restaurant. Grandpa is in seclusion and the situation is unknown. We should be patient."
"Be patient? How long do you have to be patient? If you continue to be patient like this, my Huang family will be gone!"
Uncle Huang snorted coldly.
Concubine Huang felt exhausted mentally and physically. Things had reached this point, but the family still could not unite.
"Report—a letter from the Lan family!"
At this time, a servant of the Huang family hurried in, holding a post in his hand.
Everyone's expressions changed. Concubine Huang stepped forward to take the post and opened it to take a look.
When I saw this, my face turned pale!
"What do the Lan family want to do again?"
The eldest uncle and second uncle of the Huang family also came over to take a look. When they saw the content of the post clearly, their faces suddenly became livid.
War post!
This is a battle post!
The Lan family said in the letter that since the conflict between the two parties has become irreconcilable, they will challenge the Huang family tomorrow in a battle of life and death!
Whoever loses will have the entire clan withdraw from Tanlang City!
"Despicable Lan family! How can they alone have the final say in this matter? And they will come tomorrow without even giving us a chance to ask for help!"
The second uncle of the Huang family said angrily.
"If they lose, they will withdraw from Tanlang City. Who gave them the power? My Huang family does not agree and will not accept this unfair contest!"
The uncle of the Huang family scolded.
"I'm afraid I can't accept it."
Huang Fei read the content of the battle post again, with a bitter smile on her lips.
"The head of the Lan family said above that Elder Wu from the Yunyan Sect will also come tomorrow. It seems that this matter has been tacitly approved by the Yunyan Sect."
Yunyan Sect!
These three words, like a huge mountain, fell heavily on the hearts of everyone in the Huang family.
In their area, Yunyan Sect is the largest force, and Tanlang City is under their jurisdiction.
Now they tacitly allow the Lan family to take action against the Huang family. If they agree to fight, it will be fine, but if they don't agree, the Huang family may have to shed a river of blood next.
Everyone understood the pros and cons, and the hall suddenly became dead silent.
"The battle of life and death, so it is a competition between the worshipers?"
"In my Huang family, I only have one worshiper, Chen Gu. How can I be the opponent of four worshipers from the Lan family?"
The uncle murmured desperately.
"It's too late to ask for help now. No, we have to ask dad to come out!"
The second uncle panicked and said quickly.
Concubine Huang did not stop her. This time it was really a matter of life and death.
If the Lan family puts it nicely, the losing family will withdraw from Tanlang City.
But in a chaotic place like Beluga Mansion, if a family loses its foundation, there will be wild wolves everywhere ready to bite them.
The result of losing is destruction!
"Uncle, second uncle, you go to grandpa's place and have a look. I, I'll go talk to Senior Chen about this!"
Huang Fei gritted her teeth and said, everyone nodded and took action.
"Did the Lan family declare a challenge?"
In Gu Chen's courtyard, he had just finished practicing his sword. Hearing what Huang Fei said as he hurried over, he couldn't help but reveal a teasing smile.
Within a month, the limelight had passed, and no one mentioned the Qian family's affairs anymore.
And the elixir resources he obtained from Qian Fengbao have almost been squandered. The Lan family is rushing to come to give him gifts.
"Senior Chen, what should we do now? Do you have any monk friends you know who can help at this time?"
