During this month, two major events happened in Tanlang City.
One is that a mysterious thief appeared in the city, committing crimes repeatedly, stealing pills and medicinal materials, causing headaches for many aristocratic families and medicine shops.
The second is naturally the escalating conflict between the Lan family and the Huang family.
A descendant of the Huang family, who is also the cousin of the current Patriarch Huang Fei, had an argument with members of the Lan family while playing in the brothel, was beaten all over his body, and was dying when he was sent back to the Huang family.
With the complete disappearance of the Qian family in Greedy City, the contradiction between the two families has become increasingly prominent. After such an incident, it finally got out of hand.
The Huang family, who had swallowed their anger before, finally couldn't hold back, and began to fight back against the Lan family.
First, the restaurant of the Lan family caught fire for no reason, and then the juniors of the Lan family were beaten up for no reason when they were walking at night, almost paralyzed.
As soon as such a counterattack appeared, the conflict between the two sides finally turned from the dark side to the bright side, full of gunpowder.
After several small-scale conflicts, everyone in Greedy Wolf City could clearly feel that the two sides have become like fire and water, and they are afraid that a family must disappear soon!
At this time, an astonishing news broke out from the Lan family!
Two supernatural monks, Liu Zhenren and Yin Toutuo, officially joined the Lan family and became enshrined in the Lan family!
All of a sudden, the Lan family had four priests!
As soon as this news came out, it swept across the huge Greedy Wolf City like a hurricane.
Originally, although everyone was not optimistic about the Huang family, but no matter what, the Huang family also had two monks. Even if the Lan family wanted to move them, it would be difficult, and it would definitely hurt their vitality.
But now it is different, with two new monks joining, there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides.
On the Huang family's side, only the old Patriarch Huang, who was rumored to be dying, and Chen Gu, who was still young and had no sense of existence, could see that the Huang family was doomed!
All of a sudden, the Lan family raised their arms and shouted, all forces in the city surrendered one after another, and the Huang family was on the verge of desperation!
"Patriarch, what should I do now?"
"The reason Liu Zhenren and Yin Toutuo joined the Lan family is clearly resentful, and they want to take revenge on Chen Gu and my Huang family! And what about Chen Gu, what is he doing?"
"In the past month, apart from staying in his own courtyard and squandering the huge resources given by my Huang family, has he ever done anything serious?"
In the meeting hall of the Huang family, because the Lan family had two more priests, a group of people were anxious like ants on a hot pot.
Huang Fei's uncle and second uncle, right now, accused her of negligence as the head of the family.
She invited Chen Gu to enshrine, but she didn't do anything in the past month. The Huang family had to endure it, and even gave the Qian family's property to the Lan family for nothing, which led to the current bad situation!
Originally, relying on the prestige of the Patriarch Huang Concubine, everyone dared not speak up and could only obey, but now that the Lan family had two more priests, everyone finally lost their temper.
Concubine Huang sat on the position of Patriarch, her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, her face could not conceal the exhaustion.
These days, she has been exhausted by the big and small movements of the Lan family, and feels extremely strenuous.
If it's just like this, it's fine, because Senior Chen has never shown up, and the uncle and the second uncle are questioning him more and more.
Now many members of the Huang family don't listen to her. They even set fire to the Lan's restaurant without telling her before, which further escalated the situation.
"Renren Liu and Yin Toutuo are here for money, even if there is no conflict with Senior Chen, they will go there."
Huang Fei explained, defending Gu Chen.
"And the uncle and the second uncle, you shouldn't let people set fire to the Lan's restaurant. Grandpa is in retreat, the situation is unknown, we should bear it."
"Forbearance? How long are you going to forbear? If you keep forbearing like this, my Huang family will be gone!"
Uncle Huang snorted coldly.
Concubine Huang felt physically and mentally exhausted. Things had come to this point, but the family still couldn't unite.
"Report—a letter from the Lan family!"
At this time, the servants of the Huang family hurried in, holding a post in his hand.
Everyone's expressions changed, and Concubine Huang stepped forward to take the post and opened it.
Seeing this, his face turned pale!
"What does the Lan family want to do?"
The Uncle Huang and the Second Uncle also came over to have a look, and after seeing the content of the post clearly, their complexions were instantly livid.
Battle post!
This is a battle post!
The Lan family said in the letter that since the conflicts between the two parties are irreconcilable, they are scheduled to challenge the Huang family tomorrow, and fight for life and death!
Whoever loses, the whole clan will withdraw from Greedy Wolf City!
"Despicable Lan family! How can they decide this matter alone? And they will come tomorrow, and they won't give us a chance to ask for help!"
The second uncle of the Huang family said angrily.
"If you lose, you will withdraw from Greedy Wolf City. Who gave them the power? My Huang family disagrees, and I don't accept this unfair contest!"
Uncle Huang scolded.
"I'm afraid I won't accept it."
Concubine Huang read the content of the battle post again, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Patriarch Lan said above that Elder Wu of the Yunyan Sect will also be here tomorrow. It seems that this matter has been tacitly approved by the Yunyan Sect."
Yunyanzong!
These three words were like a huge mountain, and fell heavily on the hearts of everyone in the Huang family.
In their region, Yunyan Sect is the biggest force, and Tanlang City is under their jurisdiction.
Now they tacitly allow the Lan family to attack the Huang family. It's fine if they agree to fight, but if they don't agree, the Huang family will probably be bloody.
Everyone understood the pros and cons, and the hall suddenly became dead silent.
"Fighting is about life and death. In this way, is it a contest between priests?"
"My Huang family has only one enshrinement, Chen Gu, how could it be the opponent of the four enshrined members of the Lan family?"
The uncle murmured in despair.
"It's too late even if we want to ask someone to help, no, we have to ask dad to leave the customs!"
The second uncle panicked and said hastily.
Concubine Huang didn't stop her, it was really a matter of life and death this time.
The Lan family said it nicely, the losing family will withdraw from Greedy Wolf City.
But in a chaotic place like Moby Whale Mansion, if a family loses its foundation, wild wolves are everywhere outside, ready to bite them.
The end of losing is death!
"Uncle, Uncle, you go to see Grandpa, I, I will go and talk to Senior Chen about this!"
Concubine Huang gritted her teeth and said, everyone nodded and acted separately.
"Has the Lan family announced the end of the war?"
In Gu Chen's courtyard, he had just finished his sword practice, and when he heard what Huang Fei who hurried over said, a teasing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In a month, the limelight had passed, and no one mentioned the Qian family anymore.
And the elixir resources he got from Qian Fengbao were almost squandered, the Lan family came to give him a gift in a hurry.
"Senior Chen, what should we do now? Do you know any monk friends who can help you at this time?"
Concubine Huang said anxiously.
