Li Qing’s appearance did not cause much of a stir in Yunzhou City. Not many people knew him. Isn’t he a son-in-law of the Liu Clan? This isn’t a big deal.

Because Li Qing and Liu Ke’er did not reveal their cultivation, outsiders thought that they were just two ordinary Xiantian experts.

As for those people who knew about it, they naturally wouldn’t leak it out. Yun Zhou City Lord and Zhou Jintong knew that their identities were of great importance, so they naturally kept their mouths shut.

After coming back, Father Liu’s attitude towards Li Qing seemed to be much more amiable. After all, Li Qing had left a deep impression on him when he directly flew up in front of him.

In his impression, only Void Realm experts could fly to the sky, right?

At the very least, even if Li Qing wasn’t a Void Realm expert, if he could possess the ability to fly into the sky, his cultivation would definitely not be inferior.

Father Liu was a shrewd man, and he soon had many guesses in his heart. Of course, he did not directly ask. After all, it seemed that Li Qing and Liu Ke’er had been avoiding this matter all along. Obviously, they did not want to tell him about it.

Although he didn’t know the exact reason, he wouldn’t ask for trouble. After being the Patriarch for so many years, he was already very tactful in dealing with people.

Not long after, the people of Yunzhou City saw the changes in the Liu Clan. They seemed to have spent a lot of money and actually bought dozens of acres of land around the Liu Clan’s mansion in one go.

After buying some land, they began to prosper the earth forest and expand the Liu Clan’s mansion. Large amounts of spirit stones were sprinkled out. They spent money like flowing water and hired a large amount of manpower and material resources. In just a few months, they had built an incredibly magnificent manor.

The area of the manor was enormous, and there were magnificent palaces, countless pavilions, and gardens and rockery decorated it.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be too conspicuous in a prosperous place like the Central Region. However, in an ordinary place like Cloud Continent, it was simply like the sun and moon being brighter than the stars, and it was dazzling and resplendent.

Around the manor, there was an incomparably large array formation. Li Qing had personally designed it, and with the help of some grand array level figures from the Myriad Devil Sect, not even peak Xiantian experts were able to break through into it.

The huge manor, the magnificent palace, and the formations were incomparably powerful, giving off a majestic scene.

This caused everyone in Yunzhou City to feel incomparably shocked. How many spirit stones would it take to build such a large and magnificent manor and set up such a powerful formation!

What exactly happened to the Liu Clan? Why did they suddenly become nouveau riche?

One had to know that when Elder Liu died in the battle of the Eight Desolate Mountains, the Liu Clan lost their pillars and only a few ordinary Xiantian experts remained.

If it weren’t for the care of the Yunzhou City Lord, the Liu Clan would probably have been swallowed up by other powers long ago.

Over the years, they had been keeping a low profile, and their influence was gradually declining. Many businesses had been bullied, but they did not dare to complain.

After all, Yun Zhou City Master had countless opportunities every day, so it was impossible for him to even help the Liu Clan deal with these trivial matters. One day, the debt of gratitude would be paid off, and the Liu Clan did not want to disturb the Yunzhou City Lord too much.

It was precisely under such circumstances that after several decades, they were gradually ignored in Cloud Continent City.

Why did the Liu Clan suddenly explode with such astonishing wealth at such a time?

“I heard that the Liu Clan’s daughter and son-in-law have returned. Could it be because of the two of them?” Someone guessed.

“Didn’t the Liu Clan’s daughter say that she died on the Eight Desolate Mountains? Why did she come back alive?”

“Who knows what’s going on, but since these two aren’t dead, they should have already broken through to the Xiantian realm. It’s normal for them to have some wealth.”

“To build such a magnificent manor in such a short period of time, and to have such a powerful defensive formation, how could the human and material resources required be something that a Xiantian expert’s wealth could withstand?”

“This Liu Clan’s mansion is already enough to be used as an inheritance for hundreds of years. Such tyrannical defenses can’t even be broken by ordinary forces.”

“Looks like the daughter and son-in-law of the Liu Clan are not ordinary people. They made such a big commotion the moment they returned. This time, they clearly want to make a big splash.”

“Speaking of which, what’s the name of the Liu Clan’s son-in-law? Which one of you remembers?”

“I’ve long since forgotten. I know the Liu family’s young miss. She seems to be called Liu Ke’er. As for the Liu family’s son-in-law, he didn’t seem to have married in Yunzhou City at that time. I don’t think we’ve seen each other before, right?”

“I don’t have any impression. The Liu family’s young miss is basically not staying in Yunzhou City. I heard that she is quite beautiful. She has come out very nimbly and hasn’t seen her for a long time.”

Due to the completion of the new manor, the Liu Clan’s mansion was filled with joy.

With money, he could use ghosts to push things. Li Qing’s large amount of spirit stones naturally made the entire Liu Clan treat him like a god of wealth.

Originally, there were still people who thought that Li Qing was not worthy of Liu Ke’er and looked down on her, but now, there was no longer any doubt.

Li Qing didn’t really care about the money. There were too many spirit stones in his hands, and he had not completely counted them himself, so he simply could not use them all up.

It was useless to keep so much wealth. He didn’t have any relatives in the world, so it was a good choice to give a portion to the Liu Clan.

After such a big commotion, the Liu Clan’s reputation in Yunzhou City began to rise again, and they had a new atmosphere.

However, what shocked the world the most was another matter.

Because the Liu Clan’s business in Yunzhou City had been bullied for a long time, they did not dare to retaliate. Therefore, many powerful clans inevitably had a contemptuous attitude, believing that the Liu Clan was weak and could be bullied.

Although he didn’t dare to push it too far, he could at least take advantage of it.

Now that they saw the Liu Clan’s sudden rise in glory, some powers would naturally be jealous, and they would inevitably invade and gain some benefits.

Conflict is therefore inevitable.

One day, the Liu Clan opened a shop in the Southern District and was approached by a certain power. They extorted 10,000 spirit stones as a protection fee for the second half of the year.

This was simply a lion’s mouth. Of course, the shopkeeper would not agree to such an unreasonable request. Although he had the habit of collecting protection fees in the past, he had never asked for so many spirit stones.

In the past, he could give Qian’er 800 spirit stones at a time.

Tens of thousands of spirit stones could be said to be the wealth of an ordinary Xiantian expert. How could he make such an unreasonable request? This was clearly looking for trouble.

Not to mention, they were also quite proud these days. Didn’t they see that the Liu Clan’s mansion had been expanded by several times? In terms of wealth and luxury, who in Cloud Continent City could compare?

Today is different from the past, the Liu Clan has developed, so how can they swallow their anger like before?

Uncle Li Qing had once told them that there was no need to submit to these forces in the future. If anything bad happened, he would take care of it.

Although I don’t know how strong Uncle Li Qing and Miss Li are, they are at least Xiantian experts and may not be much weaker than others.

With their powerful backing, they couldn’t help but be a bit harsh in their words.

Therefore, the two sides naturally couldn’t reach an agreement, and they fought with each other when they didn’t agree. As a result, the Liu Clan’s shop assistants and guards were defeated by that faction. Not only did they smash the Liu Clan’s shop to smithereens, they also injured the shop assistants and shopkeepers.

The moment this matter emerged, it naturally attracted the attention of the major powers in Yunzhou City. When such a situation happened, it was just the right time to explore the Liu Clan’s real situation.

If they saw the Liu Clan swallow their anger and didn’t dare to do anything, then it was basically true that they didn’t have much strength.

Without powerful strength, they possessed astonishing wealth. That was the fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. No one would let go of such benefits. All of the powers would be impatient to take a bite.

What surprised everyone was that the Liu Clan’s choice was to report directly to the officials…

Under normal circumstances, it was not allowed to casually injure people in Cloud Continent City. Although this regulation was not so strict in normal times, reporting to the police was indeed a good choice.

This unavoidably caused many powers to look down on him. Under the situation of being bullied, they actually chose such a way of dealing with him. It was clearly a sign of weakness.

It seemed that the Liu Clan really did not have much strength. It was obvious that they were feeling guilty and wanted to ask for the protection of the City Lord of Cloud Continent.

After City Lord Yun Zhou found out about this matter, he naturally dealt with it impartially. He fiercely punished that faction with a sum of spirit stones and made them apologize. This matter was not settled.

When Father Liu received the apology from that faction at home, he couldn’t help but smile and thought to himself that he had handled this matter very appropriately.

He didn’t tell Li Qing and Liu Ke’er about this matter. It was entirely his decision.

Anyway, he was also the head of the family. Anything that happened was good. Why should he report it to the two young people? Doesn’t that mean he doesn’t have any face?

Being bullied and swallowed like before would definitely not do. Today was different from the past. Now that the Liu Clan had developed, the wealth they possessed was astonishing. Naturally, they could not show their weakness so as to avoid being underestimated by others.

He thought about it, if it was in terms of positive strength, it was obvious that he could not defeat that faction, so he thought of a method that he thought was very clever, and reported it to the officials to deal with it!

The result was as he had expected, that power had been punished by Yunzhou City, and the Liu Clan had obtained a lot of benefits, and they were proud of it.

However, the next day, the Liu Clan encountered trouble again. A clan accused the Liu Clan of injuring a disciple of their clan and demanded 30,000 spirit stones for medical expenses!

After some investigation, it was found that it was indeed the Liu Clan’s people who attacked him, but they were framed by someone!

Father Liu couldn’t help but burn his eyebrows and couldn’t do anything about it.

This time, there was no way to report it to the official. After all, the other party had not done anything illegal.

In the end, Father Liu could only find Li Qing and recount the recent events in detail. He said with a sad expression, “I really have no choice but to look for you. I hope you have a better solution.”

“They are obviously coming to cause trouble for the Liu Clan. If you don’t fight back forcefully, how can you intimidate the younger generation?” Li Qing said calmly.

“With our Liu Clan’s strength, how can we be able to intimidate the younger generation? There aren’t many Xiantian experts, and their strength isn’t even a tiny bit equal to the enemy’s.”

“What’s the situation with that family?”

“They are from the Zhu Clan in the south of the city. They usually bullied us. At that time, the Liu Clan was weak and could only swallow their anger.” Father Liu said.

“Well, I understand. You guys don’t have to worry about this matter. The results will be available tonight.” Li Qing said indifferently.

“Is there really no problem? What do you plan to do?” Father Liu asked.

“If you want to intimidate the younger generation, of course you have to use the simplest and most violent method.” Li Qing’s gaze was unfathomable.

“Simple and rough method? Then we have to deal with it properly. Don’t provoke the next strong enemy that won’t die.” Father Liu said worriedly.

“Don’t worry, they won’t provoke an undying enemy. They definitely won’t have any complaints. You don’t have to worry at all.”

“Alright then, I’ll leave this matter to you.” Father Liu’s heart was a little uncertain as he slowly left.

A moment later, a graceful black-clothed woman walked out from the side. It was Yin Qianyu.

“What do you plan to do about this?” She asked.

“The Zhu Clan in the south of the city can disappear from the world. You can arrange this matter. Remember to keep your hands and feet clean and don’t leave any traces behind.” Li Qing said coldly.

Yin Qianyu’s pupils constricted, and she couldn’t help but laugh, “Looks like your personality is even more ruthless than I imagined. With so many people dying just like that, you really have the elegance of Holy Son of the Devil.”

“It’s the simplest and most violent way to intimidate the younger generation, isn’t it? I don’t have that much time to waste with them.” Li Qing’s gaze was indifferent.

As night fell, everything fell silent.

At a certain location in Cloud Continent City, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded, causing the entire city to tremble.

The flames soared into the sky, and a mushroom cloud rose up, not dissipating for a long time.

Countless residents screamed as they fled the explosion. The flames lit up most of the sky, and the night seemed to have turned into day.

Many experts rushed out immediately after hearing the noise. They were extremely far-sighted, and they were immediately shocked to discover that the location of the explosion was the Zhu Clan in the south of the city!

In this explosion, the clan had been completely razed to the ground!

City Lord Yun Zhou rushed into the sky and looked down at the tragic scene from afar. He couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, “Completely raze the ground and annihilate the entire sect! Why use such violent methods? My junior apprentice-brother seems to be much more ruthless than I imagined!”

Moments later, he landed, and there were already many heavily armed experts below, all of them looking at the City Lord of Cloud Continent.

“City Lord, there was an explosion in the city. It seems that there was a mysterious force attacking. How should we deal with it?” A commander asked him for instructions.

“Send some people over to seal off the scene. There’s no need to do anything. Just wait until dawn to clean up the mess.” The Yunzhou City Lord casually waved his hand.
