167: Take over Ziyun Villa

Cangzhou City, the Jin Family.

Just half an hour ago, the Jin Family received news that Cai Tian, Elder and others had unexpectedly summoned a Demon Palace.

Upon learning of this, Jintie City was overjoyed!

"A Demon Palace!?"

"Doesn't that mean there will be countless demon treasures inside!"

"This is truly wonderful; this time, my Jin Family will achieve a world-shaking achievement!"

Jintie City's mood brightened considerably after receiving the intelligence.

With Cai Tian, Elder's strength, plus the Wuzui Sect and the Second Elder, infiltrating the Demon Palace to pluck a mere demonic sky flower would be as easy as pie, effortless.

As for the subsequent impact the Demon Palace would have on Cangzhou City?

Once the Demon Palace formed, it would undoubtedly bring a violent Impact to Cangzhou City.

Although Cangzhou City would be breached, it could still hold out for a short period.

During this time, the price of medicinal ingredients would skyrocket.

If the City Lord's Mansion wanted to buy medicine, it could only purchase it from his Jin Family!

Before Cangzhou City's destruction, they could make another huge profit.

Jintie City had already seen the hope of the Jin Family's rise.

The matter with the Fenglan Sword Sect was already settled, and now the Demon Palace had brought a large amount of wealth to the Jin Family; it would be difficult for his Jin Family not to prosper.

As for what happened if Cangzhou City fell later, it didn't matter.

His Jin Family controlled Alchemist resources and did not have many immovable industries like mines here.

As long as these Alchemists remained under his control, they could make a comeback in any other city.

And just as Jintie City was happily fantasizing, he also gathered the remaining high-ranking members of the Family, preparing to send people overnight to collect medicinal ingredients.

Currently, over seventy percent of Cangzhou City's medicinal resources were controlled by their Jin Family, but this was far from enough for Jintie City.

He even planned to go and buy all the medicinal ingredients from several nearby towns at high prices.

Anyway, there was no shortage of buyers for this type of medicinal ingredient!

"Why are there so few people?"

Jintie City was momentarily giddy with joy.

When he saw that less than two-tenths of the people remained in the conference room, he was first stunned.

Then he slapped his head, remembering that the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Elders had all gone to Yingzui Peak to deal with that Banner Officer named Jiang Chen.

Just now, he had also received news that this Jiang Chen seemed to have some impropriety with his future daughter-in-law, Chu Yun.

What audacity.

If Jiang Chen's skin wasn't flayed alive, who would fear their Jin Family in the future?

"How is the situation at Yingzui Peak? Why has it been so long without any news?"

Jintie City was somewhat displeased.

The reason he deliberately dispatched the manpower of those three Elders was also to allow these three Families to compete with each other.

But competition was one thing; if anyone dared to kill a Family member, the entire Jin Family would not let them off.

To become strong, internal unity must come first.

They could fight and make a fuss, but absolutely no loss of life was allowed.

In Jintie City's view, these three Families were probably fighting to the death over the distribution of Jiang Chen's head.

"There's no news back yet..." the Grand Elder said.

The Grand Elder and Second Elder, due to their advanced age and belonging to the Patriarch's lineage, had their people considered as their own.

Jintie City was also looking for an opportunity to promote others from his lineage to the position of Patriarch.

Of course, this matter could not be handled recklessly.

After all, it was the head of a Family.

Even Jintie City could not act as he pleased.

Just as the Grand Elder finished speaking, hurried footsteps were heard at the door.

"Reporting to the Patriarch, Jin Li Jia has returned!"

Jin Li Jia?

Jintie City remembered.

He was the one who was released to deliver a message after the first team sent to capture Jiang Chen failed.

"Returned? Let him in." Jintie City frowned.

He exchanged a glance with the Grand Elder beside him.

There was clearly some doubt in their eyes.

Why was Jin Li Jia the first to return? Could it be that the three of them were already fighting fiercely on Yingzui Peak?

Jin Li Jia ran in, flustered, disoriented, and with one arm severed.

To save his life, although Jin Li Jia was not injured by Jiang Chen, he hardened his heart and directly broke one of his own arms, making himself covered in blood, pretending that he had fought his way out of the encirclement with all his might and returned to the Family to report.

"Patriarch... this is bad..."

"The Third Elder, Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder... everyone... all fell in battle!"

"That Jiang Chen even declared that if you don't go find him, he will personally come to the Jin Family to find you!"

"Your subordinate fought to the death and only then managed to escape with a sliver of hope to report!"

"Patriarch, you must avenge the Third Elder and the others!"

Jin Li Jia displayed his acting skills to the extreme.

He didn't even give Jintie City a chance to get angry, repeatedly mentioning revenge, giving no one a chance to notice how he had survived.

"What!?"

Everyone present were high-ranking members of the Jin Family.

Besides the Elders, there were many stewards, even the Jin Xuan Guards Commander, and three Deputy Commanders were also present.

"What did you say? This time I mobilized three groups of people, a full sixty Jin Xuan Guards, all of them dead!?" Jin Guangquan, the Jin Xuan Guards Commander, immediately stood up.

A terrifying Earth Martial Realm Aura pressed down towards Jin Li Jia.

Jin Guangquan was one of the Jin Family's three great Earth Martial Realm masters.

Of course, the Jin Family had more true masters than just these three.

The former Jin Family Consecrator, Qi Baifeng, was also an Earth Martial Realm master.

Including these people, the Jin Family had at least six or more Earth Martial Realm level individuals.

Including Jintie City himself, he was also a genuine Earth Martial Realm expert.

If the Earth-Rank Demon Cave had appeared, these Jin Family masters, united with the City Lord's Mansion, could have easily eradicated some demons.

The problem was that the Dynasty did not trust these Martial Dao Families at all, nor would it place its hopes on them.

There were good Families and bad Families.

When the Dynasty was in danger, who acted and who did not, the Dynasty naturally knew full well.

These accounts would eventually be settled.

"They were all killed by that Jiang Chen... That Jiang Chen also seemed to have a helper, very strong; I didn't even see clearly, and the three Elders and many Jin Xuan Guards were all slaughtered..."

"Bastard!" Jin Guangquan roared.

Every Jin Xuan Guard was carefully trained by them, they were Jin Guangquan's painstaking effort, and now they were slaughtered like pigs by that Jiang Chen!?

"Could it be that this Jiang Chen is a tactic sent by the Dynasty?"

"Deliberately at this time, to pressure our Jin Family and weaken our strength?" a high-ranking Family member said.

After all, to say that a mere Jiang Chen could achieve such a degree would be too exaggerated.

At this moment, the Grand Elder also spoke.

"Patriarch, I received intelligence that Jiang Chen's Family members are currently at Ziyun Villa."

"No matter what this boy's background is, as long as we take down Ziyun Villa, we will surely be able to interrogate important intelligence."

Upon hearing this, Jintie City immediately made a decision.

"Jin Guangquan."

"You immediately take people and go to take down Ziyun Villa, and bring me all the living creatures inside, not a single one left!"
