Chapter 284: Changes in the Ancestral Family, Mo Fan Arrives
With the support of Master Wei's huge system, the monster tide incident in Yungang City quickly spread throughout the country.
All organizations and major family clans received first-hand information at the first opportunity.
"Oh, isn't the Xu family proud of their achievements? This time they actually prepared such a high position for their descendants, aren't they afraid of falling and dying!"
In China, not even the arrogant Mu family would dare to say such words. Only the Zu family, who are determined to be the lackeys of the Holy City, would be so arrogant.
Those families that can be called a clan are all families that possess unrivaled influence in some aspect.
The Mu family is simply known for their own forbidden spell wizards, while the Zhao family relies on their financial resources that can stir up trouble on the international stage.
On the other hand, the Zu family has always believed that they can be called a clan because of the relationship with the Holy City.
But in fact, this is not entirely true. The reason why the Zu family can be called a clan is not entirely because they are wholeheartedly loyal to the Holy City.
Rather, they have the confidence to become a clan. Although they may not be able to compare with financial giants like the Zhao family in terms of influence, they have extremely strong support in terms of absolute military force.
Similar to the patriarch of the Mu family, Zu Xingyi’s grandfather Zu Huanyao was once a figurehead. The one who really made the Zu family a clan in the country was Zu Badao, who was of the same generation as the ancestor of the Mu family.
Although he is also one of those people who has not been heard from for many years, compared to the Mu family ancestor who disappeared, Zu Badao did appear once twenty years ago.
During the Jingpo Tianchi crisis, the person he stopped was none other than Ai Jiangtu's grandfather, Ai Batian.
Relying on his mastery of three series of forbidden spells, he was able to suppress Ai Batian, who only had mastery of two series at the time.
If he hadn't been afraid of Ai Batian's identity as the chief of the guards, and was also afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to the master of the Holy City behind their Zu family, thereby making their master of the Holy City hate them or even abandon them, the old fellow Zu Badao might have killed them at that time.
After years of seclusion without any results, Zu Badao was extremely depressed.
Especially when he heard that people like Xu Zhenbei, who were nearly thirty years younger than him, were surpassing him one by one, he felt even worse.
Xu Yuheng's attempt to establish authority for his subordinates in the country was just a coincidence, and it was just an excuse used by Zu Badao to crack down on the Zu family.
The people who were gathered together in the Zu family were also frightened by Zu Badao. No matter how pure the bloodline in the family was, they dared not say a word easily.
Finally, it was Zu Huanyao, the patriarch, who took the initiative to step forward and said, "Uncle, the Holy City is being watched covetously by various powers. Even Michael and Shaka dare not go out. At most, they can only let Dulank run around outside.
Therefore, I think the Holy City is no longer the same as before. We should prepare for a rainy day and adjust our family's domestic strategy in a timely manner."
Zu Huanyao's words were recognized by many people in the Zu family, especially Zu Jiming's brother Zu Xiangtian. He was also scared since his aunt Zu Yinhui and his younger brother Zu Jiming disappeared inexplicably.
He always thought that nothing in the country could cause trouble for his ancestors, but now he had a chilling feeling, as if there was something terrible staring at him in the dark.
Thinking back to the organizations and individuals that his Zu family had offended in the country, he couldn't even count them all. Without the support of the Holy City, their Zu family's current situation would be very dangerous!
But it is obvious that Zu Badao would not be as worried as Zu Huanyao or even Zu Xiangtian, the younger generations.
Zu Badao snorted coldly at Zu Huanyao, the former head of the family, "That's enough. Stop letting others destroy your prestige. I am alive and well. You youngsters have no need to interfere in what the Zu family should do!"
His skill in the three series of forbidden spells can rank him among the top forbidden spell masters even at home and abroad. Ordinary forbidden spells are no match for him, not to mention his ancestors who have very few people who can even reach the top of the super class.
No one dared to disobey him. Zu Badao stared at the important figures of the Zu family for a while, then said in a low voice: "I will go to the Holy City. You are no match for the little bastard of the Xu family in Bianjing. I will not make it difficult for you. You just hide at the border and keep an eye on him.
When I come back from the Holy City, I will arrange the follow-up matters for you. Don’t let it down by then, or don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
"Yes, we will obey the orders of our ancestor!"
As long as Zu Badao is in power, he is the only God in the Zu family. He has the final say and no one disobeys him.
After all, anyone who dares to go against him, even his relatives, will not escape the fate of being sanctioned.
At the moment Zu Badao quietly left the Zu family, an uninvited guest came to Xu Yuheng, who was sorting out the first rescue materials for Yungang City.
In the office, after putting away the documents, Xu Yuheng drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, and called out to the person standing outside the door, "Come in!"
The newcomer walked straight to the opposite side of him, sat down on the chair without hesitation, leaned back, and said with a bit of comfort and bitterness: "I really envy you. You got the job right after graduation. I'm just a poor grassroots. I have no food to eat. I..."
Xu Yuheng's face darkened, and he stopped Mo Fan from continuing to speak, saying, "Alright, Mo Fan, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly, there's no need to play tricks on me here."
"Hehe, you are indeed a descendant of a wealthy family. You speak straightforwardly. I don't have any requests, I just want you to do me a favor."
Mo Fan pushed a bank card towards him, and Xu Yuheng blocked it with a teacup. "Okay, you look like this, there must be something you can't get. Tell me about it. As we are classmates and have a good relationship with the National Government, it's no problem for me to help you within my ability."
When Mo Fan heard that Xu Yuheng was willing to help, he was no longer sleepy.
Even though he has gained many honors after participating in the competition for the school, his background has determined that as a lone wolf, it is difficult for him to convert his honor into the benefits he needs.
Without any support from any forces behind him, Mo Fan's gains could be said to be the worst. Therefore, after participating in the competition, he still had to work hard on his own cultivation.
He had no choice but to go to Xu Yuheng. After all, the place where the soul-level fire existed was not accessible to ordinary people.
After listening to Mo Fan's story, Xu Yuheng, who understood what was going on, thought for a moment and then said, "You are going to the Xiwei District. I am similar to you there. Apart from Nan Yu, I have almost no acquaintances there.
The most I can do is give you a heads-up, help you find accurate information, and then give you a heads-up. As for whether you can get the soul seed...it's up to you."
