Chapter 477 - His Name Shakes the Great Chu Empire
Time flew by, and soon half a month had passed.
The Qin Clan mansion, destroyed in that massive battle, now had a completely new look. What was once the glorious Qin Clan mansion had become the Chen Clan mansion.
All the Qin Clan members had left the mansion within three days, taking nothing with them.
During the Chen Clan's takeover of the Qin Clan mansion and their businesses, the entire imperial city was completely reshuffled.
The Qin Clan was now history, and the other clans that had helped them, namely, the Zhu Clan, and the Lu Clan also faded into oblivion and became history.
Although Chen Fan didn’t wipe them out completely, he slaughtered their leaders. In a corrup environment like the imperial city, this made them vulnerable, and other clans quickly divided their assets.
Meanwhile, the Nangong Clan had also been on the decline.
Nangong Baxiong had publicly separated from the Nangong Clan. Afterward, he brought the Moon Bloodline members with him to the Chen Clan.
Now, the number of Core Formation realm experts the Nangong Clan had could be counted on one hand. Aside from Nangong Xuan—at the seventh level—the others were only at the first or second level.
As one of the four great clans, they had a lot of businesses in the imperial city that drew envy from the others.
In the past, the Nangong Clan thrived, and people dared not make any reckless moves despite desiring their assets. But now, the Nangong Clan had hit rock bottom. The Yang Clan and the Su Clan took the opportunity to strike, taking advantage of the situation to seize the Nangong Clan’s businesses.
Despite being furious at the situation, Nangong Xuan and the others were powerless to do a thing in the face of the Yang and Su Clans.
The Nangong Clan could have resisted the Yang and Su Clans in the past; now, who would they send to fight back?
Relying on the old and frail Nangong Xuan, a lone seventh-level Core Formation expert?
The Yang and Su Clans had taken more than half of the Nangong Clan’s businesses, and their strength had declined steeply.
Qingfeng Restaurant was the largest and most luxurious restaurant in the imperial city. Only those with a certain level of status and power could even step through its doors.
Even the waiters and waitresses here were all in the Qigong realm.
“I heard something else too. Do you remember the imperial city’s Zhao Clan?”
“Of course, I do. It was also a large clan, but they disappeared overnight like someone had wiped them out. No one knows the reason or the culprit, right?”
“Hehe, aren’t you a smart one? Then do you also know that Zhao Ru from that clan took part in hunting down Chen Zhengqing? That mysterious masked man who caused havoc in the Zhao Clan delivered Zhao Ru’s head to them...”
“What? You mean to say that mysterious masked man from back then is Chen Fan? So, the Zhao Clan’s annihilation was also...”
“......”
As the people from the imperial city dug deeper, more information about Chen Fan emerged. For example, it was discovered that the mysterious masked man who infiltrated the Zhao Clan was Chen Fan.
At the Qin Clan mansion—no, the Chen Clan mansion:
Chen Tianxiong and the others had moved their family properties to the imperial city.
The Qin Clan’s businesses were unlike the Watermoon City’s Zhao Clan and those other great clans. They were complicated and very tricky; their assets were incredibly massive.
The Yang and Su clans devoured the Nangong Clan’s territories and businesses, but they dared not lay a finger on the Qin Clan’s, as that was Chen Fan’s trophy.
Laying a finger on it would be equivalent to provoking Chen Fan. Who would dare to provoke him now?
Although the Qin Clan’s assets were massive, Nangong Baxiong and the others managed to take over and organize them efficiently.
The Qin Clan’s treasury had also come into the Chen Clan’s possession.
Chen Fan arrived at the treasury. Gazing at the treasures piled high, he couldn’t help but marvel at the Qin Clan’s accumulated wealth. It was incredibly deep and rich, truly befitting the once number-one great clan.
I wonder if there’s any treasure here that I can use? Duan Jingtian’s sentence is about to end. The day I clash with him is also close at hand. I need to raise my cultivation to the next level! Chen Fan thought, his eyes flickering.
Although Chen Fan’s name had spread far and wide, and everyone knew of him after the massacre at the Qin Clan, his upcoming clash with Duan Jingtian was looming, and he still wasn’t absolutely confident in his victory.
He had defeated the eighth-ranked Dongfang Yu in front of countless people half a month ago. However, as he had said then, Dongfang Yu might be ranked higher than Duan Jingtian, but his strength was inferior.
