Chapter 397: Chapter 90: Huangfu Defeated! Three Years Later! Turn of Events_2
The Huangfu Clan’s long-planned operation was utterly annihilated by Wang Shouzhe’s shotgun. In total, fifteen Independent Cultivators were captured or killed.
What infuriated Wang Luotong and interested her the most was still the Murong siblings. She was particularly intrigued by the “Xunfeng Flash” movement technique used by them, and so she had them detained for interrogation.
As a Prominent Family, there are certain rules to follow. Usually, it is forbidden to randomly oppress Independent Cultivators, and if any criminal is caught, they are to be turned over to the Government Office for handling.
However, as a local strong force, the Wang family holds an obligation and power to keep the peace. If an Independent Cultivator committed a crime on their territory, they could be killed with sufficient evidence, and the Government Office would just turn a blind eye.
Wang Luotong has dealt with quite several Independent Cultivators. With Wang Shouzhe’s scientific teachings of interrogation techniques, she too has become an expert.
Soon, they could not endure the interrogation and confessed to all the crimes.
Once their guilt was confirmed, they would find it difficult to move around within Da Qian, as every county and guard post would be notified of the wanted order from Da Qian.
Then, Wang Luotong used this as a condition, demanding they hand over the Xunfeng Flash movement technique. In front of several family generals, she vowed in Wang Shouzhe’s name that if they handed over Xunfeng Flash and agreed to be escorted out of Longzuo County by the Government Office, their crimes would be pardoned.
In the end, the Muring siblings collapsed in a desperate bid for survival.
They confessed to having a secret hiding place with the Xunfeng Flash movement technique and some possessions accumulated over the years. Both parties agreed that they would be left with one thousand Qian Gold coins.
Wang Luotong sent people to retrieve the items from the secret hiding place, quickly checked, and found other basic and low-grade Cultivation Techniques aside from the Xunfeng Flash.
Aside from this, it was a savings of more than three thousand Qian Gold coins.
After receiving these benefits, Wang Luotong, in accordance with the agreement, left them five hundred Qian Gold coins, allowed the City Guard Mansion patrol to take over, and had them exiled to other counties via the Government Office’s channels.
This is the difference between a Prominent Family with some ambition and an Independent Cultivator. Wang Luotong had vowed to them, and no matter how she despised them, she would not break her word.
Because if a promise is broken once, there will be a second time and a third time. Then the family and the head of the household will lose trust in you.
Among the remaining Independent Cultivators, Wang Luotong picked out a few notorious culprits and killed them outright.
On the border of Huangfu Ranch, wooden stakes were erected with their bodies tied onto them.
This served as a warning to the Independent Cultivators working for the Huangfu Clan that they should think carefully before taking any action, weighing if they can afford to offend the Wang family. The remaining Independent Cultivators were sent to the City Lord Mansion by the City Guard of Qianma Town after providing evidence and statements, and were officially dealt with by the Government Office.
Upon receiving the “Xunfeng Flash” movement technique, a quick glance told it was an incredibly mysterious method. It appeared to be on par with the family’s unique technique, the “Willow Catkin Body Method”. It was clearly a rare “Middle Grade Body Method”.
Don’t underestimate these two words “Middle Grade”. Most of the prominent families in Changning do not have a Middle Grade Cultivation Technique. Or, they may only have one or two movement or combat techniques. As for the family’s own Top Grade legacy, even the Ping’an Wang Family doesn’t have it.
Moreover, “Xunfeng Flash” applies the body’s energy differently from the Willow Catkin Body Method. Learning an additional Middle Grade Body Method may make one’s tactics more flexible and variable.
After all, not everyone is suited to the Willow Catkin Body Method. This would give the family members another option.
What appealed to Wang Luotong the most was that there was a note in the Xunfeng Flash movement technique. If a person with the “Xunfeng Bloodline” cultivated this method, the results would be doubly effective, and the power would be even greater.
And among the family, Wang Zongchang happened to have the Xunfeng Bloodline. If he could learn this method, it would undoubtedly enhance his ability.
Therefore, after acquiring the “Xunfeng Flash,” Wang Luotong made a rough record of it and immediately summoned the Old Ancestor, Xiaohan, to send it back to the family as soon as possible.
After this, the Wang family added a respectable Middle Grade Body Method, further consolidating their foundation.
…
The appearance of the shotgun broke the Huangfu Clan’s nauseating tactic of using Independent Cultivators to continually harass others. No Independent Cultivator dared to cause random chaos at the Qianma Ranch.
Even though the Huangfu Clan has figured out tactics against the shotgun, it’s useless. The Independent Cultivators were all scared off by the Wang family’s thunderous methods.
However, at this moment, the Huangfu Clan could not send their family members and the head of the household to directly harass Qianma Town. After all, the injury of the Huangfu Clan’s Old Ancestor is a significant issue.
If it leads to a full-scale war with the Wang family, not to mention the City Guard Mansion would definitely disapprove, whether they could deal with the Wang Family Alliance is still a question.
Therefore, the border between the Huangfu Ranch and Qianma Town fell into quiet.
The quiet lasted for a full three years!
During these three years, the Huangfu Clan focused mainly on how to treat their Old Ancestor.
There is no mistake in this tactic, because as long as the Old Ancestor is cured, the Huangfu Clan could completely break free from the dilemma.
Unfortunately.
The injuries of Huangfu Hua Ye were extremely complex, and even experts in medical treatment at the Purple Abode Realm struggled. The best person to treat his injuries, Master Changchun, was on retreat.
Despite the Huangfu Clan’s many pleas for help, they never got to see Master Changchun.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
