Cultivating Immortals in Two Realms, I Possessed the Primordial Thunder Vine

Chapter 70 The world is about to change!

"Fifth Young Master? Xu Yuanqing..."

"It seems they really think I'm an easy target. We just drove away Xu Kunpeng, and now another Xu Yuanqing has appeared. They all want the resources of Lingbi Mountain. If we don't cut off the claws these families are sticking out, they'll forget that my parents sacrificed themselves for the Xu family."

A cold glint flashed in Xu Changjun's eyes. Clearly, Xu Yuanqing's direct attack on Uncle Fu had crossed his bottom line. His heart was filled with murderous intent, and he spoke with a cold face.

"You'd better not think about leaving until I get back, otherwise there's no point in you living!"

"Also, while we're at it, let's clean this place up!"

Leaving behind a simple sentence, Xu Changjun's figure disappeared from Lingbi Mountain. The sounds of pain and wailing gradually subsided, and the people who had to get up, their faces filled with fear, began to repair the damaged areas one by one.

"Get to work, or he'll make our lives a living hell the moment he gets back!"

The leader of the Xu family's collateral branch, enduring the pain, stood up, shouted a reprimand, and then led his men to repair the damaged areas, clean up the ruins, and try to restore them to their original state.

However, a chill still lingered in his heart, shrouded in a huge psychological shadow, as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

"What exactly did this young master Xu Changjun do outside? How did he reach such a terrifying level of strength? Could it be...?"

He couldn't help but look up at the direction where Xu Changjun had disappeared, a flicker of fear crossing his eyes.

The fortunes of the Xu family are about to change.

……

The Xu Family Secret Prison is the Xu family's own prison, usually used by family members who have committed crimes.

It would be really difficult for someone of lower status, or someone who isn't absolutely trusted, to be imprisoned here.

Compared to the Shadow Prison, this place is much more humane. The cells are clean and individual, and although you sleep on straw beds and are not free, you are guaranteed three meals a day.

Under normal circumstances, no one would kill, since they are all members of the Xu family. Fighting is allowed, but murdering one's own clansman is not.

Those imprisoned here are either members of the Xu family or people from other families within the Xu family. They have all committed minor offenses and will be released after a while, or demoted to other places and sent to guard other remote corners.

Of course, family documentation is required to bail someone out of this place.

When members of the Xu family come to visit, they are allowed to visit, but they are not allowed to take their servants away.

"Young Master Changyun, you are trying to take people away as soon as you arrive, and you do not have the necessary permits from the family. I cannot agree to this. Please go back."

"Come back after you've submitted all the necessary paperwork!"

Xu Zhe, who was in charge of guarding the dark prison, said this, but his words were very harsh and showed no intention of making any concessions.

In fact, the one who plotted against Lingbi Mountain was the Fifth Young Master Xu Yuanqing, the eldest grandson of the Third Elder's lineage. Xu Zhe, as the head of the Dark Prison, also belonged to the Third Elder's lineage. Therefore, Xu Yuanqing was able to easily send Uncle Fu here.

According to the Fifth Young Master, as long as Xu Changjun is pragmatic and takes the initiative to negotiate, the old servant can be released by giving him face.

Clearly, plotting against Lingbi Mountain is real, but so is suppressing Xu Changjun.

After all, these elite scions all aspire to the position of family head. With limited resources in all aspects, Xu Changjun has shown some promise. In addition, given his impeccable family background, he still needs to be given a good talking-to before he can be brought under their wing.

"I would like to ask Young Master Changyun to go and find the Fifth Young Master. As long as the Fifth Young Master agrees, it will not be difficult."

"Uncle Fu is just too stubborn and offended the family's higher-ups, but he hasn't been mistreated at all. He's been well-fed and cared for, and hasn't suffered any hardship. Young Master Changyun can rest assured!"

Xu Zhe belonged to the Third Elder's faction and naturally favored the Fifth Young Master Xu Yuanqing. Therefore, as soon as he spoke, he pointed out the key to the matter to Xu Changjun.

He had also heard that this young master Xu Changjun had recently risen to prominence, having previously defeated Xu Kunpeng. Due to his background, he was not someone to be trifled with by the family and some higher-ups, so they were still being treated with respect.

The Fifth Young Master suddenly set his sights on Lingbi Mountain. On one hand, he did need more resources for cultivation, and on the other hand, he wanted to make an example of him, killing the chicken to scare the monkey. This Young Master Changyun, with his weak background and high status, became the one who suffered an undeserved disaster.

If the Fifth Young Master can treat this person with respect and win him over, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance the foundation of the Fifth Young Master's side.

At that time, the higher the status of the Third Elder's lineage, the more Xu Zhe will be able to rise in status and gain greater power.

"I told you to move aside, didn't you hear me?!"

Xu Changjun looked at the other person with a somewhat indifferent expression and said coldly.

Xu Yuanqing's schemes are child's play; after all, he's just a mere grandson of the Third Elder, fooling around with all sorts of nonsense.

He will soon understand that in the world of cultivation, even within cultivation families, all power comes from one's own strength; everything else is merely decoration.

"Xu Changjun, although you are the young master of the Xu family, this is a secret prison. Please do not violate the family's rules, otherwise I will not show any mercy."

Xu Zhe was completely taken aback by Xu Changjun's inflexibility and stubbornness, which immediately annoyed him, and his attitude became even more forceful.

As the head steward of the dark prison, Xu Zhe, though born into a collateral branch of the family, possessed the strength of the eighth level of Qi Refining, making him a prominent figure even within the Xu family. He was not afraid of Xu Changjun, a powerless and insignificant member of the family.

He could force his way into the dungeon and give the other party face by letting him leave, but if he was unhappy, even if he captured Xu Changjun on the spot, it wouldn't cause too much trouble.

Perhaps this is what the Fifth Young Master hopes for.

At that point, wouldn't it be even easier to control Xu Changjun?!

"Xu Changjun, how dare you storm the dungeon?! Surrender now, or you'll be insolent!"

Thinking of this, Xu Zhe stretched out his palm, and a huge amount of spiritual energy burst forth from his palm, emitting a green glow. A giant hand appeared and pressed down towards Xu Changjun.

Given Xu Changjun's status, he couldn't use excessive force; he simply wanted to capture him on the spot.

At that moment, Xu Changjun didn't move an inch, but merely raised his eyes slightly, a glint of light flashing in them.

Suddenly, an aura rose up, as if an invisible hand had struck Xu Zhe's chest directly. He felt an overwhelming and terrifying force sweep over him, and his expression changed drastically, but it was already too late.

All that could be heard was the cracking sound of bones breaking in his chest, and he was sent flying.

"You are, you are..."

In mid-air, Xu Zhe's expression changed drastically, as if he had seen something unbelievable. His voice trembled, but he ultimately made no sound. He crashed to the side and lost consciousness.
