Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Every notable building, regardless of its price or prestige, fell prey to the Cao clan\'s insatiable spending.

It was as if the tempest had swept through the city, leaving a trail of purchased structures in its wake.

The impact of their upheaval reached far and wide, capturing the attention of all who dwelled in the outer region.

This ripple effect didn\'t confine itself to the outer region alone; it seeped into the inner region of the city.

As the sun dipped below the horizon and nightfall descended, a mysterious undercurrent surged through every nook and cranny, shrouded in the cover of darkness.

At the Inner region gate, an unusual sight unfolded. Clad in black, a group emerged, and the guards, typically vigilant in their duty, inexplicably abandoned their posts.

The gate swung open, granting unrestricted access to the enigmatic group. The city, now a canvas painted with the hues of intrigue and suspense, held its breath in anticipation.

In both the outer and inner regions, peculiar movements hinted at a city on the brink of transformation.

Families, both influential and modest, watched with bated breath.

The once-declining Cao clan, propelled into sudden affluence, found themselves under the scrutiny of every resident.

Whispers of apprehension and skepticism echoed through the streets.

In the shadows, alliances were formed, and clandestine meetings unfolded.

The city\'s pulse quickened as everyone, from the most influential clans to the common people, recognized the need to curtail the Cao clan\'s meteoric rise.

It was a consensus: such an immense fortune could not be entrusted to a clan deemed feeble in strength.

As the night progressed, Baiyun City transformed into a labyrinth of secrets and conspiracies. The tension in the air was palpable, foreshadowing the inevitable clash of ambitions.

Inside the Cao clan manor, the tension was palpable, all the elders looked at Su Yen with a pensive gaze.

Su Yen looked at the elder\'s face and asked. "What about the store in the inner and core region. When are we going to buy them?"

What!

The Cao clan elders had their jaw dropped. They looked at Su Yen with various gaze running through their mind. Was he playing ignorant or just being stupid?

Cao Meng looked at Su Yen calm expression and didn\'t not how to react. Previously, they thought his plan was insane but they never imagine they would spend lavishly gathering the attention of everyone in both the outer and inner region.

This was just crazy. Absolute craziness.

Cao Jun, the supreme elder, erupted like a volcano, unable to contain its molten rage. His fury cascaded in a torrent of words, a scalding river that threatened to consume everything in its path.

"What the hell are you thinking, commanding your people to spend like idiots? Do you know what this means for us? You\'ve put my clan in the eyes of those greedy bastards!"

Veins pulsated on his forehead, his eyes ablaze with a rage that seemed to ignite the very air around him.

His chest heaved, each breath a turbulent storm fueled by indignation. But the storm was far from subsiding.

"Now, we\'re on the killing list of everyone. What the hell are you going to do about it?" he bellowed, his glare a searing accusation aimed at Su Yen.

And behold…

Silence seized the room, a suffocating vacuum where even the air seemed to hang motionless.

Huang Guo, standing behind Su Yen, widened his eyes in astonishment. For a few heartbeats, he forgot to breathe, caught in the gravity of Cao Jun\'s unleashed fury.

The atmosphere descended into an ominous stillness.

Each occupant of the room held their breath, suspended in the throbbing tension that gripped the air.

It was a silence, pregnant with the weight of impending consequences, a tableau frozen in the aftermath of Cao Jun\'s explosive outburst.

Cao Meng, her eyes wide with shock, directed an incredulous gaze at Cao Jun.

She had vehemently warned him about the ruthless nature of those from the barren land.

The memories of her protector\'s gruesome demise lingered vividly in her mind – a stark reminder of the vulnerability they faced.

She had painted a portrait of the peak Qi Refinement warrior, an unstoppable force before whom her protector appeared like a feeble ant.

Yet, this old man dared to be insolent before their leader – not just any leader, but the self-proclaimed emperor of the barren land.

"We\'re doomed," she thought, a sinking realization settling within her. The clash of egos had set the stage for a calamitous fate, and the suffocating atmosphere in the room foretold a storm yet to break.

It was at that moment, the supreme elder, Cao Jun, realized his blunder. He gasped involuntarily. His eyes darted towards the serene young man in white, his heartbeat pounding like a drum.

The air in the hall grew heavy, laden with an impending storm. Su Yen stood up slowly, his expression calm and unflappable.

Yet, his gaze, fixed on Cao Jun, radiated an aura of immense power.

With each step Su Yen took, the pressure intensified, crushing the air and weighing heavily on the elders. Sweat trickled down their foreheads like a broken dam.

Thud!

Everyone fell on their knees. Their brain getting fury from the crushing pressure. This was beyond what anyone of them had ever experience before in their lives.

Cao Jun glanced at Cao Meng, his eyes pleading for mercy. He had awakened a tempest, a force beyond comprehension.

With a hateful gaze, Cao Meng rolled her eyes as she fought the pressure with every inch of her will power.

Crack!

The sound of bones shattering echoed through the silent hall. Cao Meng and the elders, unable to withstand the immense pressure, collapsed, their faces etched with fear and pain.

Crack!

Cao Jun felt his bones grinding to dust, his body slowly morphing into a grotesque pool of blood. Blood oozed from his veins, bulging eyes, and shattered teeth.

The elders bore witness to Cao Jun\'s excruciating agony, yet their own suffering prevented them from offering solace.

They could only pray that Su Yen\'s wrath would not extend to them, the innocent bystanders in this tragic drama.

Bang!

Cao Jun\'s body was reduced to a crimson pulp, consumed by a surge of flames that incinerated his remains.

Su Yen\'s expression remained unchanged, his gaze shifting to Cao Meng and the elders who had nearly succumbed to his wrath.

"Let this be a final warning," Su Yen declared, his voice resonating with authority.
