Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1179: Chapter 787: An Opportunity to Earn Favors

After dividing up the goods, Mo Changbin said again, "We still have one more thing to do!"

"Sir, what is it?" Zhou Yuntao asked.

He is a noble of the Dayun Dynasty and is considered Mo Changbin’s most trusted subordinate here.

"Wipe out the Red Flame Army and kill Lu Jianghua!" Mo Changbin’s face revealed a cold smile.

Their purpose here is not just to loot property, but also to weaken the Lu family’s strength.

Pillaging the workshop is also a way to deplete the Lu family. Destroying the Red Flame Army and killing the Lu family’s descendants further diminishes their power.

For a family to continue enduring through time, it must meet three conditions: first, having strong individuals who can protect the family; second, possessing numerous outstanding descendants; third, owning sustained profit-generating industries.

The powerful individual of the Lu family is naturally Lu Fusheng, whom they dare not challenge.

The Lu family’s outstanding descendants aren’t many, but there are a few noteworthy ones, and Lu Jianghua is undoubtedly one among them.

The main industry of the Lu family is the workshop. As a newly risen family, the Lu family doesn’t have many distinguished industries. In alchemy and artifact refining, the Lu family is far inferior to other families. When it comes to cultivating spiritual medicine and breeding mutant beasts, as well as nurturing spiritual objects, the Lu family holds no competitive edge in the Sea of Spirit.

So as long as they can destroy the Lu family’s workshops, they will plunge the Lu family into a situation where their income cannot cover their expenditures.

While attacking and killing the descendants of the Lu family on one hand, and destroying the family’s means of earning on the other, even if Lu Fusheng remains, decades or centuries later, the Lu family will inevitably fall into decline.

Of course, the Mo family certainly cannot wait centuries, but they will still do their utmost to drain the Lu family’s potential.

Hence, Lu Jianghua is one of their most critical targets.

"Sir, Lu Jianghua has fled to Nanqing Mountain. We can just head over and deal with them directly!" Zhou Yuntao said.

At this time, they still didn’t know that Lu Jianghua was already at Lingxi Mountain; they merely believed Lu Jianghua and the Red Flame Army had fled to Nanqing Mountain.

However, even if they knew Lu Jianghua was at Lingxi Mountain, they wouldn’t care.

The Lingxi Yang Family is just a small insignificant family, not yet at the point where they need caution.

"Now is not suitable for drastic moves, so Yun Tao, Brother Wu, you take a team and bring Old Wu Lu Jianghua’s head!"

"No problem, right, Brother Wu!"

Mo Changbin looked at Wu Dashan.

They had just attacked the workshop in Nanxia County. Although it’s still uncertain whether the Lu family has reacted, they are better off not deploying everyone boldly just in case.

"No problem, just a bunch of riffraff, Old Wu alone can take them down!" Wu Dashan boasted, patting his chest.

"Then I’ll trouble Brother Wu!" Mo Changbin was very satisfied with Wu Dashan’s attitude.

...

Xue Meng Mountain, Sanshan Valley.

Yang Chengxian was leading the members of the Secret Martial Guards, busy in the archive library.

The attacks on Nanxia County, Tianbao County, and Suihua County happened simultaneously, yet they were not forewarned, which made them feel somewhat incompetent.

Furthermore, this time they lost quite a few personnel.

Among the Three Counties Market, the three Hidden Guards and over twenty shadows were all caught in the chaos, their fate unknown.

But now, they still don’t know who the attackers are, which infuriates Yang Chengxian.

"Damn it, where did these guys spring from, and why don’t we have any information?" Yang Chengxian said angrily.

Although the Secret Martial Guards have developed well over the years, with cultivated Hidden Guards growing to handle themselves, their main focus has been on the Three Sects and Twelve Families of the Sea of Spirit, and also on the war between the Three Sects of Spirit and the Nether Prison Sect, not paying excessive attention to western forces.

In addition, this time, the operations of the Dayun, Nanzhao, and Dazhen dynasties were extremely secret, so the lack of prior notices was also normal for the Secret Martial Guards.

"Sir, look here!" A Personal Follower came to Yang Chengxian with a dossier.

Yang Chengxian glanced at the dossier’s content, and the follower explained, "This is intelligence provided by Dayun Kingdom Capital; starting two years ago, Wu Dashan, Lu Chong, and Chen Chaohui successively went to Dayun Kingdom Capital multiple times, and Chen Chaohui even went twice!"

"You mean?" Yang Chengxian’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Wu Dashan, Lu Chong, and Chen Chaohui are all loose cultivators and martial artists of the Heavenly Gang stage. They previously didn’t have much relation with the Dayun Dynasty, but over the past two years, their visits to Dayun Kingdom Capital have increased, indicating they have developed some connections with the Mo family of the Dayun royal clan!"

"This is just the information we’ve received, definitely there are more we haven’t gotten. Their visits to Dayun Kingdom Capital surely exceed our records!"

The follower said.

The Secret Martial Guards can’t keep tabs on every martial artist of the Heavenly Gang stage, nor can they fully trace such martial artists’ whereabouts. Still, they can collect some data regarding powerful figures appearing in certain areas.

Intelligence work involves not only collection but also analysis and application.

The Secret Martial Guards are not only adept at gathering intelligence but also at analyzing it.

The archive library here records a plethora of seemingly useless bits of information. Yet, sometimes these seemingly useless details can lead the Secret Martial Guards to uncover truths behind events.

Among the three dynasties, the Secret Martial Guards are most involved with the Dayun Dynasty, firstly because of Dayun’s superior strength, and secondly due to Dayun’s proximity to Ancient County.
