Dongfang Family.

No, now it should be called the ruins of the Dongfang Family.

Xiao Ran stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the broken walls and ruins before him.

An incense stick ago, this was still the mansion of one of the four great families of White Emperor City.

Guarded by a Void Refining Old Ancestor, covering a hundred acres with pavilions and towers, it was magnificent.

An incense stick later, only a ruin remained.

"This is the consequence of choosing the wrong side."

Xiao Ran whispered to himself.

Behind him.

Thirty Soul Transformation Stage experts were cleaning up the battlefield, their faces filled with satisfied smiles.

Xiao Ran's distribution just now had made everyone rich.

A Soul Transformation Stage Elder stepped forward and bowed.

"Seventh Demon Young Master, the stragglers of the Dongfang Family have all been cleaned up."

"According to your orders, they were all killed according to the genealogy, absolutely none left behind."

Xiao Ran nodded, but he was still a little worried, so he asked again.

"You didn't let go of the Dongfang Family's concubine-born sons, useless people, or generational retainers, did you!"

Some of these people were not on the genealogy!

"Don't worry, Young Master, all the people you mentioned have been killed."

"I even discovered a branch of the Dongfang Family that had strayed out years ago, and specifically cast a Bloodline Curse to kill them all."

The Elder added.

Xiao Ran couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Professional, too professional.

One look and you could tell they hadn't done this just once.

"Thank you for your hard work, Elder."

Xiao Ran had already distributed the spoils, so he could only reward them verbally.

The old man smiled when he heard this.

"Young Master is too polite. Which Family should we go to next? The brothers are all waiting."

His eyes were full of excitement.

Xiao Ran was shocked, thought for a moment and said.

"No rush, let's see the reaction of the other three families first."

He was afraid that if he killed too much and couldn't hold back, it would be a disaster.

...

Meanwhile.

On the other side of White Emperor City.

On the top floor of a teahouse, three figures stood by the window.

It was Ancestor Nangong, Ancestor Ximen, and Ancestor Beiming.

They watched the sky-high flames in the direction of the Dongfang Family, their expressions solemn.

"The Dongfang Family... is finished."

Ancestor Nangong said in a deep voice.

Ancestor Ximen narrowed his eyes.

"Thirty Soul Transformation experts moved out together, what is the Eternal Night Demon Sect trying to do?"

"Are they trying to start a war between the righteous and demonic paths?"

Ancestor Beiming leaned on her cane and shook her head slowly.

"It's not the Eternal Night Demon Sect, it's purely that Xiao Ran."

She paused.

"The White Emperor and that old thing from the Dongfang Family haven't been in the city for a while, they must have been plotting against Xiao Ran."

"Now that Xiao Ran has returned, the White Emperor is likely in grave danger."

Everyone was not a fool.

The other three families had long discovered the abnormality of Ancestor Dongfang, so they had made plans early on.

They didn't expect that the one who returned in the end would be Xiao Ran.

The other two were silent after hearing this.

After a long time.

Ancestor Nangong spoke.

"Then what should we do?"

"Proceed according to the original plan?"

Ancestor Ximen thought for a moment.

"Let's wait and see. If Xiao Ran comes to find us, then..."

He didn't finish, but the meaning was already obvious.

Ancestor Beiming nodded.

"It can only be so."

...

Meanwhile.

Willow Lane in the west of the city, Bai Moxuan's small courtyard.

Bai Moxuan stood in the courtyard, watching the sky-high flames in the direction of the Dongfang Family, a trace of complexity flashing in his eyes.

"Uncle Men."

"Young Master."

A black shadow walked out from the corner.

Bai Moxuan asked.

"Father's side... is there any news?"

Uncle Men was silent for a moment, then whispered.

"The City Lord's soul lamp... has gone out."

Bai Moxuan was shocked.

Although he had expected it, he still felt a sense of trance when he actually heard the news.

That high and mighty father, that man who had controlled White Emperor City for hundreds of years...

Just died like this?

Uncle Men continued.

"Ancestor Dongfang is also dead."

"The Dongfang Family... has been wiped out by Xiao Ran and his men."

Bai Moxuan took a deep breath.

"Thirty Soul Transformation experts, the support of the Eternal Night Demon Sect has arrived."

He turned and looked at Uncle Men.

"Uncle Men, what do you think I should do now?"

Uncle Men thought for a moment.

"Didn't the Young Master bet on Xiao Ran before?"

"Although you didn't catch up when it was most needed, it's not too late now."

Bai Moxuan nodded when he heard this.

"That's what I thought too."

He turned and walked into the study.

A moment later, when he came out, there was an extra storage ring in his hand.

"Let's go, go pay a visit to Young Master Xiao."

...

In front of the ruins of the Dongfang Family.

Xiao Ran was about to leave when he suddenly raised his eyebrows.

In the distance, a figure was walking towards here.

It was Bai Moxuan.

The Third Young Master of the White Emperor.

The smart man who had looked for him before.

He was wearing a plain robe, alone, his pace calm.

Walking to three feet in front of Xiao Ran, he stopped.

The two looked at each other.

"Bai Moxuan, greetings to Young Master Xiao."

Xiao Ran looked at him, his expression unchanged.

"Third Young Master, what are you doing here?"

Bai Moxuan bowed again.

"I am here to give a gift to Young Master Xiao."

Xiao Ran was stunned.

"A gift?"

Bai Moxuan took a step forward and offered the storage ring in his hand with both hands.

"This is all my savings over the years, as well as intelligence on the various forces in White Emperor City. Although it is not much, it represents my sincerity."

Xiao Ran took it and probed with his Divine Sense.

A moment later, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Because there were no Spirit Stones, no Magic Treasures, and no Jade Slips or Cultivation Techniques in this storage ring.

There were only some strange-looking things and a pile of book pages.

After checking, Xiao Ran found that most of these things were rare spiritual objects.

The value was not high, but they were relatively rare.

Among them, there happened to be things Xiao Ran wanted, which could be used to refine poisons.

As for those few pages, it was even simpler.

Those were the genealogies of the various forces in White Emperor City.

"Third Young Master has such a grand gesture."

Xiao Ran put away the storage ring and became interested.

Clearly, this Bai Moxuan had investigated him and knew his preferences.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Bai Moxuan looked up at him.

"I want to be the new City Lord of White Emperor City."

Xiao Ran did not agree immediately, but raised his head slightly.

"Why? Just because of these things?"

"Compared to the position of City Lord of White Emperor City, these things are not even a drop in the ocean."

Bai Moxuan was not discouraged, but said frankly.

"Because I can help Young Master Xiao control White Emperor City."

"Young Master Xiao is a Demon Young Master of the Eternal Night Demon Sect, you cannot stay in White Emperor City forever."

"This city needs a City Lord, an obedient City Lord."

Xiao Ran said calmly.

"I don't lack pawns, and I can find others."

This reason could not convince him.

Bai Moxuan shook his head when he heard this.

"It's different."

"My father has been operating in the city for hundreds of years and has very high prestige."

"The people, merchants, and Loose Cultivators in the city only recognize the Bai Family."

"So I am the most suitable one."

Xiao Ran didn't speak, but just looked at him lightly.

After a long time, he spoke.

"And how can I trust you?"

Bai Moxuan was instantly energized when he heard this; he immediately took out a Jade Slip from his arms and offered it with both hands.

Clearly, he had been prepared for a long time.

"This is my blood oath."

"From now on, I, Bai Moxuan, am willing to be completely loyal to Young Master Xiao. If I have any two minds, may heaven and earth destroy me."

Xiao Ran took the Jade Slip and probed with his Divine Sense.

In the Jade Slip, it was indeed the content of a blood oath.

As long as he was willing, he could activate this oath at any time to control Bai Moxuan's life and death.

Xiao Ran put away the Jade Slip and looked at Bai Moxuan.

"Third Young Master, you are very smart!"

"He who knows the times is a hero."

Bai Moxuan lowered his head.

"Young Master Xiao flatters me."

Xiao Ran thought for a moment.

"I can give you the position of White Emperor City Lord, but do you know what to do?"

Bai Moxuan nodded.

"I know."

"Young Master Xiao is the true master behind White Emperor City, I am just managing this city for Young Master Xiao."

Xiao Ran was instantly happy when he heard this.

No wonder leaders like flattery; it really sounds comfortable.

This guy is smart enough.

His brothers are still looking for the fox demon all over the city!

This guy had already roughly guessed the outcome and decisively sought out Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran was not afraid of smart people; on the contrary, he liked smart people a little bit.

"Smart."

He patted Bai Moxuan on the shoulder.

"Go, prepare yourself."

"After I finish dealing with the other families, I will announce your succession as City Lord."

Bai Moxuan was overjoyed and bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Young Master Xiao!"

He turned and left.

Xiao Ran watched his back.

"This Bai Moxuan is much better than his brothers."

Behind him.

Elder Ying's voice came.

"Do you really want to let him be the City Lord?"

Xiao Ran nodded.

"White Emperor City needs a Puppet."

"He is smart and knows the times, he is the most suitable candidate."
