Chapter 42: The Takeover.

"This seat has come to pay your Manor a visit, is there no one to perform a welcoming ceremony?" Gu Lin Fang announced with a sneer.

"..." No one said a thing, the onlookers watched while subconsciously holding their breath, silence lingered all the way through the Xu estate from the main street.

"Good, I'll head over there now," Gu Lin Fang finally said.

Gu Lin Fang looked at Yu Xing and gestured with his jaw, "Kill anything that moves".

"Yes Lord father!" Gu Yu Xing cupped his fist before signalling Fatty Zhu and the rest.

They charged into the manor and began killing from the entrance, Gu Lin Fang walked slowly behind them with his cane.

...

...

Meanwhile, within the Xu clan's main Hall.

"Damn! This Gu Lin Fang is practically a mad dog that bites anyone it sees!" Xu Shao Yun. "I'll definitely remember this matter! If there is a chance in the future, I'll definitely not let him off!"

"Shao Yun, we've lost too many warriors yesterday. This long battles are also taking a heavy toll on the remaining members of the clan'. However, we have already consumed all the potions and elixirs we have. If the reinforcements from Zhao Ye Shen still don't arrive today, we will definitely be finished," one of the Elders comforting the matriarch reported hurriedly.

He was the one in charge of the Clan's storehouse.

Naturally, Xu Shao Yun was already aware of this matter.

Before the confrontations with the Gu clan, the Xu clan had been able to split its army into three groups, with one team support the other two.

However, the first ambush on the Gu warriors had taken out over half of their men'. If Xu Wu Qong hadn't insisted on maintaining the hunt on them, the death toll wouldn't be this serious.

"Damn that Li Zhu! If he had not goaded Xu Wu Qong into hindering the Gu clan, we would not have fallen into this situation!" Xu Shao Yun hated Li Zhu greatly at this moment, regretting his decision to let the issue slide.

If he had known that Gu Lin Fang himself was so powerful, and also how insane the man was, he definitely would have chosen to stop this entire affair and not let it play out from a safe distance.

In the end, the Xu clan now suffered from his own hesitation.

Originally, there had already been a gap between Xu clan and the Gu clan in overall combat power. Now that they had lost the support of its Nascent soul experts and are only left with the Qi gathering realm guards, that gap had widened further.

In contrast, Gu clan fighters carried out their task with great zeal. The screams was getting closer by the seconds.

Xu Shao Yun looked at the others and noticed their pale faces.

Within moments, the mortality ratio of the Xu clan soared to frightening heights.

When Xu clan members initiated an ambush, they ended up being the ones killed.

Xu Shao Yun approached the hall entrance with a solemn expression.

"No, we can't wait here and die. At this rate, we'll be completely annihilated by the time the reinforcements from Zhao Ye Shen arrive." Both anger and grief filled Xu Shao Yun at this moment.

Their Xu clan had started this war with over 1000 members and associates, Yet, now, only 400 or so people remained alive, with majority injured or handicapped.

Immediately, Xu Shao Yun as the acting clan leader shouted in the hall, "All of you, charge through the secret tunnel together with me! We're leaving with as many lives as we can!"

At Xu Shao Yun's command, everyone in the clan commenced a desperate charge while ignoring those already captured by the Gu clan.

Naturally, such an exodus only made it much easier for Gu Yu Xing and his gang to kill them.

However, with 400-plus members desperately trying to escape en masse, it was also impossible for the Gu clan to kill every single one of them.

Unknown to them, the main clan members had escaped through a secret passage.

After suffering such a massive loss, the Xu clan no longer had any chance of staying in {Iron Crow City}.

Those watching things play out, began commenting secretly.

"This Gu clan really is ruthless. Although they only number around 40 or so, a large majority of them are actually Foundation building experts." After obtaining victory in this battle, the citizens had a new perspective about the Gu clan.

With only around 40 something members with them, its total member count was not even comparable to a third-rate clans.

However, after the witnessed combat power and viciousness its members displayed in this battle, they no longer found it strange for the Gu clan to be this arrogant in {Iron Crow City}, despite being new.

Moreover, the destructive force displayed by the copper coffin that Yu Xing had used was simply too shocking.

If not for that tool of mass destruction, this battle might still be ongoing right now, even more shocking was that this high level Auroras core expert was actually Gu Lin Fang's son!.

"Bai Fu Mei, your foresight is as diabolical as always. This Gu family is indeed not a simple existence," at the roof of a far away building, a petite figure giggled with glee.

The one called Bai Fu Mei rolled her eyes at the giggling lady. The girl actually dared to laugh in such a way publicly.

However, Gu clan's performance had truly surpassed her initial expectations.

Although the clan was small, their patriarch was making waves that was making the dark families of the {Sun Desert faction} restless.

Her father had actually mentioned an alliance, by marrying her off to the Gu clan's young Master.

But for now, the Bai family chose to observe in the sidelines.

Unfortunately She had another plan in mind, she intends making friends with the Gu patriarch's beloved daughter.

Thinking about Gu Lin Fang's actions at the auction house, she felt her choice was much more accurate.

"Too bad I haven't seen that Gu Lin Ju, I hear she's a real beauty hehe.

Apparently she could almost rival you and Nangong Yi" Bai Fu Mei glanced at the girl next to her and couldn't help laughing in her heart, 'what a poor attempt at sowing discord'.

______________

Gu Lin Fang soon arrived at the Hall where Xu Shao Yun and the others were discussing.

He scanned the area with his consciousness and immediately spotted the hidden tunnel behind the main throne.

"have someone see where this leads to" He immediately ordered Gu Yu Xing, somewhat irritated as he thought about the possibility of them going to the Zhao clan.

As soon as Gu Yu Xing's people began to move, he began working on the system.

[You have completed destroyed and taken over the Xu family estate.]

[Do you wish to make the Xu manor your permanent base?]

'No'

[Register Xu manor as a sub base?]

'Yes'.

[Your choice has been acknowledged].

[Your standing in the Sun Desert faction has risen.

Keep up the good work.]

[There are two Blue grade resource points in the Xu manor]

[Do you wish to rename the manor?]

"Yes" Gu Lin Fang quickly agreed and chose to name it Gu Manor.

The plaque on the main gate shone with golden lights and quickly changed into {Gu Manor}.
