Chapter 95: Afterward

In Buyue City, the Du Family.

After the events of yesterday, the Du Family could now be considered the undisputed overlord in Buyue City. Even the Gongsun Family, which had not been involved in yesterday's events, had already shown a few signs of submission and did not come to contest anything with the Du Family. This effect was naturally what the Du Family had been dreaming of for many years.

In the main hall of the Du Family, Du Zhen Tian sat in his chair, lightly tapping the table. After a moment, he suddenly sighed and whispered, "Is there any news from the Lian Family?"

Du Xuan Feng, standing to one side, let out a light sigh, a strange expression flashing across his face. After a moment, he whispered, "Not only the Lian Family, but even the Bai Family and the Baiyi Sect have withdrawn to more than a hundred meters outside of Buyue City overnight."

"Such quick action? Did you send people to keep an eye on them?" Du Zhen Tian frowned.

"Of course. If any of the three families make any rash moves, we will know immediately..." Du Xuan Feng nodded.

"That's good," Du Zhen Tian nodded slightly. "No matter what, these three families are not easy to deal with. Even if they have suffered a great loss now, our Du Family is not a match for their combined forces. Find a time to invite the Blood Wolf Gang and the Gongsun Family. This large piece of meat in Buyue City should be shared with others... as long as we get the biggest bite! Otherwise, swallowing it all at once might just choke us to death!"

"Yes! I will send people to hint to the Gongsun Family and the Blood Wolf Gang. I believe those two will understand our meaning... from now on, Buyue City will be in our hands. I think even the Yunshui Du Family will have no objections, right?" Du Xuan Feng said solemnly.

"Hard to say!" Du Zhen Tian laughed bitterly. "Our small achievements might not even count for the Yunshui Du Family... to rejoin the main family is no easy task. But as long as they can look at us a bit more favorably, that's enough! With the strong backing of the Yunshui Du Family, our position in Buyue City will be as solid as a rock..."

As he spoke, Du Zhen Tian sighed again, a hint of bewilderment in his eyes: "I never thought... that after so many years of our Du Family's dreams, we would finally kick the Lian Family out of Buyue City, and it was all thanks to Du Fei... Tian has a good son indeed!"

Du Xuan Feng smiled faintly and said, "Tian has always been exceptionally talented. Having such a son is to be expected."

"Um!" Du Zhen Tian nodded slowly, hesitating for a moment before whispering, "What about the results of the investigation into yesterday's events?"

Upon hearing this, Du Xuan Feng's expression changed slightly. He scanned the surroundings for a moment before whispering, "I have inquired through various channels. The two people who suddenly appeared are likely not from our Da'an Dynasty, but rather from a super sect on the Xuanwu Continent... It seems that Xiao Ai's identity is not simple at all. It's best for us to act as if we know nothing..."

"Xuanwu Continent... super sect?" Du Zhen Tian's expression changed for a moment before he laughed bitterly. "You're right. In their eyes, we might not even be as significant as ants. Pretending to know nothing is the best outcome. Otherwise, the consequences could be unimaginable... Tell Fei not to talk too much... As for Du Han's death... we will say he committed suicide. We won't care what others think."

"Yes!" Du Xuan Feng nodded slightly.

"Also... if I remember correctly, Fei and Qian have a marriage agreement, right?" After rubbing his temples for a moment, Du Zhen Tian whispered.

"Yes... Father, what do you mean!?" Du Xuan Feng's expression changed, speaking slowly.

Du Zhen Tian's face was conflicted. He tapped the table for a moment before saying faintly, "Fei, though he is勉强 considered a member of our Du Family, probably doesn't have much sense of belonging... If Tian were here, it would be fine, but Tian is not here... If our Du Family is to rise, our hope mostly lies with Fei. So, we need to find something to bind his heart. Even if we can't bind his heart, at least we need to keep him here... Marriage is the best way! Do you understand what I mean?"

Du Xuan Feng's body trembled slightly. After a moment, he laughed bitterly, "This... I have no guarantee. You know Qian's personality. She might... not be willing to follow our arrangements... Moreover, she now has the qualifications to join the Yunshui Du Family, and we might not be able to control her!"

"Such matters... we must appeal to her emotions and reason... we must try... The Du Family doesn't have many outstanding talents. If we don't keep these two, what future will our Du Family have!?"

...

In a secluded courtyard on the west side of the Du Family.

Du Fei sat cross-legged in the courtyard, meditating for a while. After a short time, he opened his mouth slightly and spat out a mouthful of blood. After the blood was expelled, his complexion gradually improved.

He slowly circulated his true qi once, feeling that his injuries had improved somewhat, and then he let out a sigh of relief.

Although Du Fei was seriously injured after the fierce battle, under the pressure of life and death, he vaguely felt that he was about to break through.

After these days, Du Fei naturally understood that while having a trump card is important, his own strength is the fundamental.

Du Fei's current strength was at the mid-stage of the 9th Rank Martial Artist. If he broke through again, he would likely reach the peak of the 9th Rank Martial Artist.

"This is not enough!"

Du Fei sighed inwardly. Although he was extremely dissatisfied with his current cultivation speed, he also knew that he had no other way to increase it at the moment. The ruins of the Alchemy King in a month could give him something to look forward to.

If he really obtained the legendary Heavenly Essence Pill, he should be able to increase his strength even more, right?

For now, he needed to try to increase his strength as much as possible.

However, no matter what, he needed to heal his injuries first.

After giving the command to Xiao Bai to activate the healing system, Du Fei took a deep breath. Feeling his internal injuries slowly healing, he let out a sigh of relief. After a moment, he hesitated and then slightly moved his mind. Instantly, a rather exquisite storage ring appeared in his palm.

This storage ring was obtained from Gu Yun after his death, and Du Fei had never had the time to check its contents.

However, given Gu Yun's status, the items inside were likely not simple.

Du Fei laughed lightly and slowly probed the storage ring with his mind.

Since Gu Yun was already dead, the mental imprint in the storage ring had long disappeared. Therefore, Du Fei was able to scan the contents without any hindrance.

After scanning the contents, Du Fei's face brightened slightly. This time, it seemed he had not made a bad deal.

Gu Yun was quite unique. Unlike others who used crystal cards, he kept all his wealth in the storage ring. A quick scan revealed nearly a million gold coins, which made Du Fei whistle in amazement. In addition, there were some rare and strange medicinal herbs, which were likely Gu Yun's collection, fitting his identity as an alchemist.

In addition, there was an ancient-looking scroll stored with the herbs. After a cursory glance, Du Fei's face brightened again.

The scroll contained formulas for common alchemy pills. Although this was not particularly rare, for Du Fei, who could only refine one type of pill, it was the most precious thing.

After a cursory glance, Du Fei found that most of the formulas were for 9th Rank pills, with only three formulas for 8th Rank pills, and none for other ranks.

But even so, it was enough...

"Gu Yun really died without any regrets! If I encounter more of these fat targets in the future, wouldn't I be rich?"

After sighing inwardly, Du Fei claimed all the items without hesitation. Then, he lightly tapped his palm, and the last two items in the storage ring appeared in his hand.

These two items were both in jade boxes, clearly very precious. After hesitating for a moment, Du Fei casually opened the first jade box.

Inside the jade box, a scroll emitting a faint golden lightning glow appeared. On the slightly ancient scroll, several purple characters were written, making one's eyes dazzle.

"6th Rank Martial Technique, Azure Lightning Cannon!"

Seeing these seven characters, Du Fei couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.

Although he didn't know why, it seemed that Gu Yun had not personally cultivated this technique. However, a 6th Rank Martial Technique was quite rare... even the entire Du Family did not have a single 6th Rank Martial Technique. From this, one could see how rare and valuable a 6th Rank Martial Technique was!

Moreover, according to some legends, those who possessed certain 6th Rank Martial Techniques could even kill across ranks, which was not too difficult, as the power of a 6th Rank Martial Technique was unimaginably strong.

Such a high-level martial technique was also extremely needed by Du Fei. After all, what he needed most now was such a powerful trump card.

Smiling slightly, Du Fei turned his hand and put the scroll into his storage ring. Then, his gaze fell on the other jade box.

The first item had already made him extremely excited. He wondered what other good things Gu Yun had collected...
