Chapter 1242: Chapter 761
Luo Yaxuan looked on, realizing that, in such a short time, it was impossible to completely eradicate these Eastern Demons. The hope of bringing his little junior sister and his master and mistress home for the new year might not be realized for now!
He could only send a message back to his family, also informing his father about the situation here, and there was another reason for sharing this information with them!
The Eastern Demons had appeared, and it was uncertain if they had infiltrated Immortal Lord City or if his roommates were unaware. Having the information would allow for preparation!
In his hometown of Immortal Lord City, the Huang Family, like a pile of rat droppings, hadn’t been eliminated yet. They occasionally popped up and caused trouble in secret, which was quite nauseating!
Lai Jianlin also sent a message back to his family, initially planning to bring his junior sister’s family back. He thought it would be nice for the two families to meet and escort his junior sister back!
But now these matters kept them from returning. Of course, he would share the information about the situation here with his father and family!
The Luo Family of Immortal Lord City and the Lai Family met, and the elders of both families decided to cooperate. They also allied with the Jiang Family to maintain order in Immortal Lord City!
The Huang Family had already been squeezed out from the ranks of the first-rate families and did not dare to act out recently. To investigate whether there were other hidden threats in the city, or demons disguised as humans, patrols were conducted.
Patriarch Huang was also quite resentful; his family’s strength gradually diminished, falling behind other first-rate families, and they had been pushed out of the top tier by the Lai Family!
What was more infuriating, the three families had conspired to eliminate members of his family. Previously loyal minor families showed signs of betrayal, leading to heightened vigilance!
After his eldest grandson was killed, a series of misfortunes struck, and their enemies grew stronger while they weakened, causing them great frustration. Knowing who the enemies were but being unable to seek revenge was infuriating!
Facing their enemies, they had to act cowardly, which was incredibly humiliating!
His son and grandson had ventured to the North, thinking they could stir up trouble there. However, the feedback indicated their plans had failed; their skills were too inadequate. Any movement they made was easily detected, putting them at risk of annihilation!
If not for their cunning wit, they might have been wiped out!
The Huang Family could only sigh as their family members were not as capable as others. Their former strength perhaps had much to do with the younger generation in the family!
He refused to believe that his grandson had killed someone; hadn’t that person survived?
Why was he then killed again?
The grandson’s death was unjust, and the enemy’s immense power was overwhelming. The enemy’s family was so powerful that Patriarch Huang felt like their survival here was increasingly difficult!
If possible, relocating the entire family would be a better choice.
Yet so many years of foundation and legacy were hard to abandon!
Recently, Patriarch Huang received a message indicating that the three first-rate family allies might unite to destroy them once they were free. Escape would then be impossible!
The thought of leaving their homeland was utterly reluctant!
However, it was also very helpless; they could only choose to relocate their businesses, select a location, and slowly move their essential possessions through secret paths!
Actually, their members could pack important items into storage bags, and some properties could be discreetly sold off!
Certain mineral resources needed new management; moving an entire family was not easy. Besides housing and food, future living conditions had to be secured!
Their family was quite large, with several thousand members. Except for those they hired, there was no need to relocate; the others had already chosen to gradually withdraw!
The departure of key Huang Family members was also reported to the North. Huang Lei and his father were informed!
Ever since Huang Lei used those women and foreign spies to stir up trouble, they found the opposition too formidable, nearly annihilating their people!
Though the sent operatives were wiped out, fortunately, he had only used outsiders controlled by drugs, not their own people!
Knowing their capabilities were lacking, they could only hide in the bustling, crowded North!
While lurking here, with limited abilities, it was quite dangerous indeed. Any wealth they revealed could attract attention!
Along the way, Huang Lei and his group robbed quite a few, using their disguise skills and the swordsmanship they learned recently. Despite their low capabilities, they managed to hide!
However, they did not dare to enter the most crucial mission areas anymore; retreating from those zones, they lacked the means to stir trouble. Remaining unnoticed by others was already a stroke of luck!
They learned much from their time lurking here, observing spell-casting during others’ missions. Those with slightly higher status became models for them to learn from!
Though they couldn’t grasp the essence, they realized their shortcomings in spell-casting from what they observed!
Furthermore, many learned from witnessing others fight, gaining experience and insight.
During these months, Huang Lei and his father’s group were not without learning. They had advanced from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Golden Core Stage, through constant battles, gaining insight from their experiences.
His father’s average aptitude, even their supposed elites, found themselves quite ordinary amidst high-skilled individuals here. Those from their small place came to this big city to explore and found themselves lacking in resources, finances, and skills!
