Fanatic Divine Cultivator

Hearing Xiao Xiangcheng"s words, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Just what level of strength had the opponent reached? All of this was unknown, and it was precisely because of this that everyone felt terrified.

"Don"t worry, if it"s really just their enemies, then maybe after taking revenge, they have already left the boundaries of Cloud City."

Xiao Xiangcheng said blandly, but at this time, a man rushed in and knelt in the great hall.

"How is it?"

Xiao Xiangcheng asked.

"City lord, the properties of the three great families have become ownerless. The powers in their respective towns are fighting for them. However, the remaining people from the other towns are starting to move out. They are most likely going for those properties as well."

The man in front of him was full of respect as he explained everything that he had heard outside.

"Mayor, should we take back all the properties of the three great clans? If we let a single family take control of all of them, then there might still be people who are willing to threaten us."

A green-clothed man stood forward and walked towards Xiao Xiangcheng. To the City Lord"s Mansion, this kind of property was nothing. After all, no matter which family obtained this property, they would hand over ten percent of their income to the City Lord"s Mansion every year.

However, if a family took all the properties of these three towns into their arms, then that family would have the properties of four towns. Perhaps in the future, if they continued to develop, they would truly not put the City Lord"s Mansion in their eyes.

"You"re right."

Xiao Xiangcheng nodded his head, then said with a profound meaning: "But if we were to go and take them in, those powers of theirs would definitely be very dissatisfied with us. Moreover, this business, to us, is indeed nothing at all.

Seeing that the azure-dressed man previously still looked extremely worried, Xiao Xiangcheng continued to speak: "I"ve thought it through, I"ll give them some benefits, but I can"t give them too much. This way, it"ll be enough, we can"t let them form a unique situation, we have to keep them in check on each other and maintain a certain balance, only then will we be able to maintain the position of the City Lord"s Mansion."

"What does City Lord mean?"

Hearing Xiao Xiangcheng"s words, everyone"s eyes lit up, they never thought that the City Lord would think of a countermeasure in such a short amount of time.

"Send word out, the Zhuge family, Guo Family, and Li Family"s property can only be taken over by one of the other fifteen families. The power in one town can only take over one of them at most."

Xiao Xiangcheng stood up and waved his sleeves. This way, he would also want to see which of the clans in the remaining fifteen towns were stronger and had such capabilities.

"The Mayor is indeed good at scheming. If that"s the case, they will be able to hold each other down. This kind of situation seems to be more interesting than before."

He also wanted to know which of the remaining fifteen clans had the strongest power, and the Zhuge family was the strongest in the past. Under such circ.u.mstances, the other clans had all hidden their true strength.

Now that the Zhuge family had been annihilated, that era should be over. After this kind of news was released, the fifteen great clans would definitely fight over it, and in order to obtain such a huge benefit, they would definitely not hide their strength anymore. It was also the time for the City Lord to secretly watch over their strength.

"This little one will do it right away!"

The man who was half-kneeling in the main hall stood up and respectfully said,

"That"s right. In addition, during the compet.i.tion, we can kill the enemy"s clan head. However, we cannot eliminate their clan."

After Xiao Xiangcheng thought about it, he could not help but say this, for fear that during the battle, some families would be exterminated, causing the entire Cloud City to be thrown into chaos.

Soon, a dozen or so pigeons flew out of the City Lord"s Mansion and headed towards the fifteen remaining towns.

"Xiao Family b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you have such a big appet.i.te, aren"t you afraid of being bullied to death?"

On the way back to the town, w.a.n.g Jia"s heart was filled with rage. If the businesses of the three great families were all occupied by the Xiao Family, then the Xiao Family in the future would definitely become an existence that was even more powerful than the Zhuge family in the past.

"Patriarch, these three great clans" properties are too big. If his Xiao Family wants to swallow them down, I think the City Lord Palace would not agree to it."

The first elder behind w.a.n.g Jia could not help but say in a loud voice, although the properties of the three great families, were nothing to the almighty City Lord Palace, if they were to land in the hands of a certain clan, it would give the other party the chance to quickly rise and grow, and if the members of the clan were to luckily break through to the tenth phase of the profound energy, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.

"Hehe, that"s hard to say, it"s almost afternoon, and the City Lord"s Mansion doesn"t seem to have any movements. Maybe this time, Xiao Xiangcheng will make everyone fight over him, this guy often goes against common sense."

w.a.n.g Jia said snappily. She was completely unable to see through Xiao Xiangcheng"s plans, and every time he made a decision, it was all out of their expectations.

Unknowingly, the Bebe Town"s group had already returned to the Bebe Town, but just as they returned to the town entrance, they met a servant of the Liu family. When the servant saw w.a.n.g Jia bringing the clan members back, he immediately ran over excitedly.

"Patriarch, good news!"

The servant ran over with a smile.

"Say it, what good news!"

w.a.n.g Jia said disapprovingly, she did not feel that there was anything better than getting news of the three Great Clans" businesses, so she reckoned that the so called good news was not that good.

"Patriarch, look, this is the news that just came from the City Lord"s Mansion."

The servant smiled as he handed over a small slip of paper. He wondered if the chief would be so happy to give him a reward or something.

"City lord"s mansion?"

w.a.n.g Jia was slightly doubtful, and accepted the slip of paper. However, before she even opened it, she fiercely glared at the person in her name: "How do you know it"s good news, you actually dare to peek?"

"Patriarch, please calm your anger. This little one was curious about something big and couldn"t hold it in."

Only then did that man react. He did say something wrong, but this news was indeed good news, so he didn"t hold himself back before.

"Hmph, go back to face the wall and think for two days."

w.a.n.g Jia snorted, and then opened the slip of paper and looked at it.

Very quickly, the corner of w.a.n.g Jia"s mouth revealed a trace of a smile: "Haha, this time Xiao Family should be gloomy, right? Xiao Xiangcheng"s decision is indeed extraordinary."

After laughing, w.a.n.g Jia thought about it, then turned to the servant who had brought Xiao Se"s back and was about to face the wall and said: "This time you indeed brought good news, go to the accounting office and collect three hundred silver taels before going to the wall."

When the man heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. The chief was truly wise. Three hundred taels of silver. For a servant like him, even after ten days of contemplation, he would still be happy.

"Thank you clan head, clan head is mighty, clan head is domineering, clan head …"

The servant turned around and kowtowed, but before he could finish, he found that his family"s Patriarch had already led his family"s men straight towards the Guo Family"s residence.
