Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 190 is correct, it's three against one.

Returning to Dongxi.

Xu Mingwei suddenly asked, "Father, why not force them to make a vow?"

"The two families will make a choice between personal safety and the safety of their community."

Furthermore, this also serves as a punishment for both companies.

"Punishment?" Xu Mingxian asked, puzzled.

"How would you feel if you faced the same choice as these two companies?"

The two men's eyes lit up immediately, and they realized, "The unbearable torment is probably even more terrifying than being killed outright."

"Choices can be big or small, light or heavy. Sometimes a choice can leave you with inner demons for the rest of your life, preventing you from making any further progress, or it can allow you to make rapid progress and triumph all the way."

It's like you making a choice for your children, deciding whether they should follow the path of immortality or the path of martial arts.

The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat.

"You'll understand the pressure when the time comes to make the final choice."

Their hearts sank.

The choice is terrifying!
"What if they ultimately choose to be enemies with my Xu family?" Xu Mingwei asked.

"The odds are less than 10%, but if they really do that, do you think our Xu family has no chance of winning?"

Xu Mingxian grinned, "Big brother, the second-tier superior-grade Four Symbols Heavenly Gang Formation is rumored to be able to kill Foundation Establishment cultivators. I'm actually quite eager to see its true power."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mingwei shook his head and chuckled; his little brother was quite cunning.

Oh, no, he's no longer the youngest of the second generation.

In a few more months.

Their youngest brother was born.

Seven or eight days passed in the blink of an eye.

November will be here in a few days.

The autumn wind was bleak, carrying with it a chilling sense of impending doom.

The Xu family activated the outermost first-tier high-grade defensive formation—the Earth Defense Formation.

And the fog array was removed.

Because it would also affect Xu Chuan and the others' view.

More than a hundred cultivators flew on their swords, transforming into streaks of light that streaked across the sky and came to rest above the cave stream.

"The fog array has disappeared?"

Yuan Chenggang was slightly taken aback. He then made a hand seal and descended towards Dongxi.

Peng~
A layer of earthy yellow, semi-transparent light suddenly rose up, blocking the spell; the light seemed to ripple slightly.

"A high-grade first-tier earth-attribute magic array?" Yuan Chenggang smiled. "The Xu family's foundation is indeed profound. They've only been established as a cultivation family for a few years, yet they've already acquired such a magic array."

He flew to the front, turned around and scanned the crowd, "The Xu family has few people but abundant resources. Their foundation is probably equivalent to three or four fifth-grade Qi Refining families."

Today, for the sake of peace in Yuehu County, we have destroyed the Xu family, and all those present will share in their resources!

The Yuan family members and others who came for the Xu family's wealth responded one after another.

However, the Huang and Lu families remained relatively indifferent.

"Brother Huang, Brother Lu, you two seem to be acting strangely."

Just now.

Xu Chuan, Xu Mingwei, and Xu Mingxian appeared.

Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingxian still only displayed the eighth level of Qi Refining.

"What a grand scene, Brother Yuan! You've brought so many people here; are you here to wipe out my Xu family?"

"So what if it is?" Yuan Chenggang turned around and said, "Your Xu family has boundless ambitions. Sooner or later you will deal with us old families and use us as stepping stones and a path to ruin for your Xu family."

We're simply striking first today!

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, you are very clever, but unfortunately you are only half right."

"My Xu family will only target your Yuan family, because ever since my Xu family emerged, your Yuan family has been looking for ways to target my Xu family, hasn't it?"

"nonsense!"

Even if it were true, Yuan Chenggang would not admit it.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, anyway, the Yuan family's road has come to an end."

"Ridiculous! Do you really think that a mere high-grade formation can withstand the combined attack of numerous cultivators from our three families?"

"Yes, there are three families, but not the three of you, but the three of us!"

Yuan Chenggang was about to laugh loudly.

Suddenly, screams rang out from the crowd behind them, the voices coming from the Yuan family members.

He suddenly turned his head to look.

The hundreds of cultivators were already in complete chaos.

Both the Huang and Lu families launched surprise attacks from both sides, instantly causing the deaths of more than a dozen Yuan family cultivators.

The late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from various families who had been invited to help were stunned and immediately moved away.

"What's going on?"

They looked at each other.

Wasn't it a three-way alliance besieging the Xu family?

How did it turn into the Huang and Lu families ambushing the Yuan family?

Should we still make a move?

Without a word, some people immediately fled on their swords.

However, Xu Chuan's voice rang in their ears, "Those who come here today must bring generous gifts to apologize within half a month."

You may escape, but none of your families will escape!

The voice was icy cold, as if it came from the deepest hell, sending chills down their spines!
"Huang Mingyu, Lu Yuntao, have you forgotten the oath we made?!"

Yuan Chenggang never imagined that, despite the oath, the Huang and Lu families would still attack his Yuan family!
Both of them gave a bitter smile.

Huang Mingyu said, "I was really bewitched back then. I was actually persuaded by you to attack the Xu family and even befriend the Zhou family. What merit do my Huang family have to resist them!"

Today, I have no choice but to drag you along on your journey to atone for the mistakes of my Huang family.

"I, Lu, am the same. The new head of the Lu family has been chosen, so I can rest assured. Yuan Chenggang, at this moment, the Huang and Lu families should be besieging your Yuan family's territory."

They probably won't be wary of either of our families.

"You two are truly insidious and ruthless!" Yuan Chenggang's eyes were like molten lava, yet a sense of sorrow rose in his heart.

"You're willing to risk your own lives to destroy my Yuan family? What deep-seated hatred do you two families have for each other?!"

Peng~
Yuan Chenggang's steel shield groaned under Lu Yuntao's purple flying sword, each block creating a visible ripple of spiritual energy.

With his left hand forming a hand seal, he controlled a black, high-grade flying sword that clashed with Huang Mingyu's silver rainbow flying sword. The sparks from the clash of the two swords condensed into a brief, strange phenomenon of a fire lotus in mid-air.

The battlefield behind the lines has been transformed into a vortex of spiritual energy storms.

A defensive formation formed by Yuan family cultivators was cleaved open by a blood-red blade of light.

Exploding talismans burst forth in the crowd, blasting cultivators within three zhang (approximately 10 meters) into a bloody mess. However, some cultivators managed to activate their defensive magic weapons in time, only suffering a shock to their blood and qi.

But he was immediately pierced through the heart by flying swords from the two cultivators.

"Homeowner!"

A familiar voice rang out, and Yuan Chenggang saw a flying sword fly past his side.

That was the youngest elder in the Yuan family. He had just reached the seventh level of Qi Refining last year. He had good potential and would definitely be able to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining in the future.

"You despicable bastards from the Huang and Lu families, die!"

Outraged, one of the elders of the Yuan family, seeing that he was outnumbered, self-destructed on the spot.

The roar echoed across the entire sky.

The surge of spiritual energy sent Yuan Chenggang, Huang Mingyu, and Lu Yuntao flying seven or eight zhang away.

"Fifth Elder!"

Yuan Chenggang's eyes were filled with sorrow.

But the next moment, Huang Mingyu and Lu Yuntao launched attacks, leaving him struggling to keep up.

"Why?!"

Yuan Chenggang wanted an answer, but when he caught a glimpse of the indifferent expressions of Xu Chuan and the other two inside the formation, he instantly understood.

"It's the Xu family, isn't it? What benefits did they promise you that would make your two families work so hard for them? You're willing to risk the backlash of your oath to betray them!"

"If your Yuan family isn't destroyed today, my two families will be buried with you!" Huang Mingyu finally revealed his reason. "Just the Xu family?"

"Just because of my Xu family!" Xu Chuan said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, streaks of black lightning shot out from the great formation, each arrow accurately killing a late-stage Qi Refining elder of the Yuan family.

Although it was an element of surprise, its speed was like lightning, leaving the Yuan family elders, who were in the late stage of Qi Refining, no time to defend themselves.

This clearly demonstrates the terrifying nature of Xu Mingwei's attacks!
A moment's work.

All the elders of the Yuan family who came here perished.

Huang Mingyu and Lu Yuntao's pupils also constricted, and they felt a lingering fear.

If they had attacked them within the family that day, both families would have suffered heavy losses.

"Hahaha, what a Xu Mingwei!" Yuan Chengang said as if he were insane. "With your Xu family being so powerful, how could the Zhou family possibly tolerate you in the future?"

Your Xu family will ultimately suffer the same fate as my Yuan family!

Xu Mingwei drew his bow again. He had not used his magic power before, but now he used it with all his might, channeling his magic power into the precious bow and the arrow.

The powerful aura that erupted from it terrified the heads of the Huang and Lu families.

They believed that if they were hit by this arrow, they would surely die!
"Who's really in a stronger position? My Xu family has never provoked your Yuan family!"

"As for the Zhou family, our two families' affairs are none of your concern, Yuan family."

Xu Chuan finished speaking.

Xu Mingwei's arrow also left the bowstring, and the magical power surging from the arrow condensed into a black dragon, engulfing Yuan Chenggang completely.

Its entire body disintegrated.

The remaining Yuan family cultivators were all dealt with.

Huang Mingyu and Lu Yuntao looked at Xu Chuan and said, "Brother Xu, are you satisfied now?"

Xu Chuan smiled faintly and said, "Since the Huang and Lu families have realized their mistake, the matter of colluding with the Yuan family before will end here. My son, Xu Mingwei, will take over the Yuan family's resources."

"understood."

"Of course, after we consolidate and integrate the resources of the Yuan family, we will fulfill our promise to give the Huang and Lu families 15% each."

"Thank you!" The two clasped their hands in thanks.

At this moment, Xu Chuan glanced into the distance and said calmly, "Patriarch Zhou, Elder Zhou Sen, since you are here, why don't you come over and have a chat as well?"

The two were startled and turned around to see a dozen cultivators rapidly approaching from a distance.

The leaders were Zhou Shaoyuan, the head of the Zhou family, and Zhou Sen.

The rest of the people were at least at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and there were about seven or eight people at the late stage of Qi Refining.

"I originally wanted to see if I could help, but it seems I've made a wasted trip." Zhou Shaoyuan glanced at Huang Mingyu and Lu Yuntao, then smiled faintly at Xu Chuan.

"Have a heart."

"You must come to the clan for a chat."

Zhou Shaoyuan thought for a moment and said to the other Zhou family cultivators, "You all go back first. I will go with Elder Zhou Sen. Do not spread today's events around."

"Yes, master!"

"Then we'll take our leave. We will definitely give the Xu family an explanation regarding the Yuan family's matter."

Huang Mingyu and Lu Yuntao did not linger and immediately led their family members to attack the Yuan family.

Now that the choice has been made, we cannot leave any future problems.

As for the corpses scattered on the ground and their storage bags, they were handed over to Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingxian to handle, while Xu Chuan led the two to his quiet room.

"Brother Xu is truly remarkable, managing to persuade the Huang and Lu families to defect," Zhou Shaoyuan said. "As far as I know, Yuan Chenggang would never make such a basic mistake."

“The heads of the three families must have sworn an oath to advance and retreat together,” Xu Chuan said.

"Then what about them?"

As the two talked, Zhou Sen silently sipped his tea and nodded, saying, "Good tea."

Zhou Shaoyuan looked at him with some helplessness, wondering to himself, "Did you ask me to stay here specifically to drink Xu Family Spirit Tea?"

Although, its taste is indeed quite good!

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "I'm afraid he won't live for another year or two, but fortunately the family has been preserved, hasn't it?"

The two remained silent.

Zhou Shaoyuan took the opportunity to sip the tea himself and muttered to himself, "Good tea."

"You two have brought people here, surely not just to lend a hand? You also want to see the Xu family's trump cards and how we will deal with the cultivators from the three families?"

Seeing that they did not answer, Xu Chuan continued, "It will naturally shine when the time is right."

Zhou Shaoyuan didn't dwell on it and changed the subject, saying, "Now that the Yuan family is wiped out, what are the Xu family's plans for the future? Will they relocate to the Yuan family's territory?"

"Well," Xu Chuan paused for a moment, "you'll find out later."

"Then your Xu family won't make any more moves, right?"

"What are you saying, Patriarch Zhou? It was clearly the Yuan family who led the attack on my Xu family. When have we ever seen my Xu family take the initiative to attack others?"

"Our Xu family acted in self-defense!"

What a justifiable self-defense!
Zhou Shaoyuan's lips twitched slightly.

While this statement is true, it means that an entire clan would be wiped out with a single move.

How many times can your Xu family make a move in the entire Yuehu County?

Zhou Shaoyuan felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it!

“We can’t continue like this, or the Cao family will really hold us accountable! And,” Zhou Shaoyuan hesitated for a moment before continuing, “you Xu family have to be careful about destroying the Yuan family before tax collection.”

"Some imperial tax collectors don't care about these things, but others will inquire about them."

"My Zhou family can't help you with this matter either."

Xu Chuan nodded. "Thank you for the reminder. I will handle it carefully."

"Then we shouldn't stay any longer, Elder Zhou Sen, let's go."

The two stood up.

Xu Chuan asked, "Doesn't Patriarch Zhou want to go see his daughter?"

"No, maybe next time."

Xu Chuan didn't say much.

Upon arriving at the Xianyi Hall Square, the two released their flying swords. Zhou Shaoyuan then said, "The Xu family has been making frequent big moves lately, but I still urge Brother Xu to carefully consider their future impact."

Don't wait until chaos ensues before it's too late for regrets.

After saying this, the two left.

"Future impact?" Xu Chuan murmured, then understood why Zhou Shaoyuan had reminded him, but he didn't pay it any mind.

"Is this a big move?"

He shook his head and smiled, then returned to the Alchemy Hall to continue his research on Martial Arts Breakthrough Pills, Bone Nourishing Pills, and Body Strengthening Pills.

Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingxian collected all the storage bags of the fallen Yuan family members, as well as the magical artifacts that had fallen nearby.

Then, Xu Mingxian made a hand seal, closing the Earth Defense Array and opening the Mist Array.

The faint mist has always kept the Xu family shrouded in mystery.

This has also made Dongxi a paradise on earth.

"Mingxian, I'm going to the Yuan family. Will you come with me?"

"Is Brother worried about encountering formations or restrictions that might waste time?"

"Exactly."

"That's fine."

The two flew slowly towards the Yuan family's territory.

Having lost many elders and elite cultivators, the Yuan family only had a handful of mid-to-late stage Qi Refining cultivators left, along with some early stage Qi Refining cultivators. How could they possibly withstand the combined attack of the Huang and Lu families?

Not to mention, both families left behind elders at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining, as well as a large number of martial arts experts.

The entire Yuan family was wiped out.

With divine sense probing inch by inch, almost no one could escape.

The entire territory was stained with blood.

Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingxian watched coldly until both families left.

Looking at the Yuan family's territory, shrouded in blood mist and resembling a ghostly realm, Xu Mingwei said calmly, "My Xu family only wants to develop properly, but why are there always people eyeing my Xu family?"
