"The Han Family has been recuperating for a thousand years after their fallen dynasty. Don't you know any inside information?" Tang Luo astutely seized the most critical point in Xu Lao Ying's words.
Given Fang Han's previous example, Tang Luo naturally held no goodwill towards the Han Family.
History is always about the tragic and the heroic. But the heroic deeds of their ancestors should not blind us to current benefits. If the Xu Clan has information about the remnants of the Han Family, then much of what they discussed earlier needs to be revised.
If they have information about the Han Family, as long as the Boundary Breaking Stone is in their hands, the timeline to open the Han Family's treasure vault could be prolonged.
Xu Lao Ying, hearing Tang Luo's question, understood his intentions: "After the Han Family was betrayed by their clansmen and sects, they completely vanished, severing any connections to the other sacred places. Perhaps the older generation of my clan may have some rumors, but I truly don't know." "I find it quite problematic." Tang Luo frowned, "The fall of the Han family was a millennium ago. The Slaughter Immortal Army you mentioned must have preserved some remnants as they left, which would have evolved over a thousand years. No matter where the Han family is on the continent, it's impossible for them to have remained unknown. Don't you find this odd?" "Although it is strange, the Han Family was known worldwide for its military formation. Perhaps they have a unique hiding technique, or their hiding place is a pocket world. Actually, things are fine as they are now. Martial artists remain unyielding; clans govern their respective territories. If the Han Family were to rise again, they would undoubtedly make a move against the clans who betrayed them, stirring the continent into an unknown state of chaos."
Every time he thought of the Han Family, Xu Lao Ying felt an intense internal conflict. On the one hand, he hoped that the Han Family could make a triumphant return, reclaiming their honor amongst the sacred clans. On the other hand, he wished for the Han Family to remain hidden, maintaining the hard-won peace in the world.
"The servants have loaded the chattels onto the carriage. We should head back." Xu Shuhui smiled at Tang Luo and Xu Lao Ying.
With the fall of the hammer on the final auction item, the first day of shopping at the Xiling women's jamboree ended. The most joyous part of her day was seeing her nephew and eldest son getting along so well. She knew very well how proud the son of the Xu Clan was. Being a young and distinguished traveler among them, her own child managed to hold his own which made her, as a mother, extremely proud. This surpassed any delight she could derive from acquiring the Boundary Breaking Stone or any other exotic treasures. Upon hearing Xu Shuhui's call, Tang Luo and Xu Lao Ying exchanged a glance before obediently rising to their feet. They left the VIP lounge with her, immediately receiving the focus of everyone's attention as they descended the stairs.
It wasn't strange since Xu Shuhui had spent a huge sum of money on the first day of the auction. However, a few murderous intents from the southwest corner caused Xu Lao Ying's expression to change. Turning his head, he found Ji Fu looking towards them with a complex expression; the killing intent was emanating from the five bodyguards at Ji Fu's side!
Judging by the situation, they refrained from making a move at the auction, probably intending to act after the auction was over.
Xu Lao Ying's aura involuntarily leaked out. Just as he was about to pull out his Emperor's Void Phoenix sword to preemptively strike, Tang Luo elbowed him in the arm.
"Don't make a move. I will handle this."
"Did
you feel the killing intent too?" Xu Lao Ying asked, surprised.
"I'm not an idiot," Tang Luo replied irritably. "Since they can identify the Boundary Breaking Stone, do you really think they would let us have it? I've already made arrangements."
"Can't we make the first move?" Xu Lao Ying insisted. Since the intention to kill was clear, wouldn't it be better to strike preemptively rather than wait for a counter-attack?
Tang Luo admirably said to his straightforward cousin: "Even though we are part of a great clan, we must uphold our reputation. After all, Ji Fu is good friends with Xiao Zheng; it wouldn't be justified logically or emotionally to just attack them. Furthermore, for you, a mortal realm cultivator, to attack five cultivators from the Fierce Realm, don't you think that's too much?"
Xu Lao Ying snorted in anger, falling silent.
Ji Fu, sitting in the southwest corner, watched as Tang Luo and his party left the VIP lounge. His eyes were filled with mixed emotions as he watched them walk away.
"The Xu Clan of Tainan..." Ji Fu muttered, staring at Xu Lao Ying's retreating figure.
"Not Tainan's Xu Clan, but Yuanzhou's Xu Clan, that is, the Xu Sage Clan." Xiao Zheng arrived at Ji Fu's side as soon as the auction ended, intending to inform him of the strength of the Tang Clan in Xiling.
In a chaotic place like Beimang, the residents preferred a direct approach, often resolving all conflicts through combat.
As the young master of the renowned Ji Clan, which has a stronghold in Beimang, and being publicly humiliated, Xiao Zheng was afraid that Ji Fu might impulsively kill Xu Shuhui and his group after the auction, a situation that would
be unmanageable.
That's why he had to remind Ji Fu as his friend not to do anything foolish. Offending Xu Shuhui was not just provoking the Tang Clan, but also the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou. The Xiao Clan certainly could not afford this consequence, and even the Ji Clan of Beimang wouldn't be able to bear it either.
After all, it was a saintly clan that had shone for thousands of years. Xu Sheng was even known as the Sage Teacher, a peerless saint.
Hearing this, Ji Fu was filled with complex emotions. He never imagined that he would meet a son of the Xu Clan, who was a traveler, in a remote place like
Longzhou.
This made him regretful. Perhaps he really underestimated the clans in Xiling, so much that he did not try to understand the clans in Xiling before he came,
missing out on such critical information.
Although people now refer to the Xu Clan as the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou, a thousand years ago, everyone called them the Xu Clan of Tainan.
Because the clan's greatest contribution was to uphold the monument of Tainan!
"Thanks for the reminder, Xiao Brother. I won't kill them. Since the Xu Clan's
traveler is here, I will go and pay them a visit." Ji Fu expressed his complex feelings to Xiao Zheng.

With the presence of someone from the Xu Clan, the secret of the Boundary Breaking Stone was no longer a secret. He needed to speak
with the saintly son. "Excellent!
Excellent!" Xiao Zheng didn't comprehend the essence of Ji Fu's words and hastily replied: "Reconciliation is the best solution to
conflicts. If Ji Brother wants to settle
in Xiling in the future, getting along well with the Tang Clan is absolutely necessary." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest

"Hmm." Ji Fu nodded, stood up, and led his bodyguards out of the auction house.
The night in Xiling was exceptionally peaceful. Most people had already gone to sleep. Only the eternal flower streets were still glowing with hustle and bustle.
