Chapter 599: Chapter 293: Desperate for the Soul of Death!_1
As Gu Anxing spoke, his face was filled with pain and sorrow.
Especially within this hotel that was once controlled by the Town Rock Family, the feelings of pain and lament were becoming increasingly hard to suppress.
His father Gu Qianfan’s choice to reveal the situation to the Grand Elder of the Qingdian Clan, was not out of foolishness, but because he knew that the Town Rock Family alone didn’t have the resources to develop this large ancient battlefield.
He had already anticipated this situation of seeking help from external forces.
The Town Rock Family hoped to form an alliance with the Qingdian Clan, the Luanyue Clan, and the Liangfeng Clan to explore the ancient battlefield based on the contents of this ancient book.
Since the ancient book was obtained by the Town Rock Family, they would have a slightly larger share in the final distribution of profits.
This decision was made in consultation with himself, Gu Anxing noted.
However, because of this trust, the Qingdian Clan, Luanyue Clan and Liangfeng Clan banded together to slaughter the Town Rock Family.
Gu Anxing didn’t blame the destruction of the Town Rock Family on the gain that the Qingdian Clan made in the ancient battlefield.
However, Fang Mu subconsciously drew that association in his heart.
Fang Mu believed that the fate of the Town Rock Family was inextricably linked to the gain that the Qingdian Clan made in the ancient battlefield.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any reason for the Qingdian Clan to cut off its own strong arm, especially when the Town Rock Family was willing to share the spoils.
Fang Mu remembered that Gu Anxing once told him, since the Town Rock Family and the Luanyue Clan were tied by marriage, the Town Rock Family also informed the Luanyue Clan about the ancient book.
Because it was the Luanyue Clan who poisoned and killed the members of the Town Rock Family, during Gu Anxing and Gu Qianfan’s report, they instinctively blamed the Luanyue Clan.
On the contrary, the Liangfeng Clan, being in competition with the Town Rock Family, was not informed about the content of the ancient book.
The plan was to bring the Liangfeng Clan on board after cooperation with the Qingdian Clan and Luanyue Clan was secured.
Let the Liangfeng Clan take the lead in the charge, but receive the lowest portion of the resources.
After exploring this large ancient battlefield, the strength of the Liangfeng Clan would inevitably wane.
This would put the Town Rock Family at an advantage in later competition with the Liangfeng Clan.
Fang Mu thought to himself that since the Luanyue Clan also knows about the ancient book, they’re probably a target for the Qingdian Clan by now.
Even if the people of the Luanyue Clan were foolish, they should be aware of the principle that when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. It’s impossible for them not to have any awareness.
The people of the Luanyue Clan are probably panicking right now.
Fang Mu was curious about what the Qingdian Clan gained from the ancient battlefield to make them make such a decision.
This thing could never be guessed at. Fang Mu didn’t want to rack his brain over something without a result.
“Are you prepared?”
Upon hearing Fang Mu’s words, Gu Anxing quickly suppressed his emotions and refocused his attention.
“Young master, we are ready!”
Previously, while they were in the Mechanism Fortress, Lu Xiaoyin and She Wan had referred to Fang Mu as the young master.
It’s undoubtedly more appropriate for the Town Rock Family, who will be Fang Mu’s Chosen Clan, to address him as the young master.
Even though it was difficult for Gu Anxing, who previously held a high position, to use such a form of address, he still managed to change his manner of address.
Because the term “young master” feels much closer than terms such as “sir” or “young sir”, giving a sense of domesticity.
Gu Anxing knew that according to Fang Mu’s plan, the return of the Town Rock Family would draw worldwide opposition.
But with the resources provided by Fang Mu, the Town Rock Family would rapidly grow stronger.
Once the Town Rock Family gained enough strength, it didn’t matter if the whole world turned against them.
Would anyone really dare to make trouble for the Town Rock Family?
Any force undertaking a certain course of action must weigh the losses and gains, balancing between potential drawbacks and benefits.
Let those forces that are hostile to the Town Rock Family know that targeting the Town Rock Family would result in greater damage to themselves.
Their hatred toward the Town Rock Family would naturally dissipate!
More importantly, the Town Rock Family needs an opportunity for revenge.
If the grudges against the extermination of the Town Rock Family aren’t settled, even if the Town Rock Family becomes stronger in the future, there will be a mark of humiliation left in the clan history that is difficult to erase.
As the current Family Head of the Town Rock Family, he would be vilified throughout history.
Moreover, Fang Mu had already given him a guarantee for safety.
Triple protection can maximally ensure the safety of him and his people.
Fang Mu nodded at his words.
“I’ve heard that the Qingdian Clan is holding a court banquet in the Royal Court in three days. The qualifications for attending the banquet haven’t been announced yet.”
“At that time, find a way to get into the banquet, and then announce the matter about the ancient book at the banquet.”
“I guess after you make your presence known, the people from the Luanyue Clan will reach out to you in secret.”
“Then, you’ll probably find out who is the actual culprit behind the downfall of your Town Rock Family!”
On hearing this, Gu Anxing’s heart trembled, his face becoming complex.
Gu Anxing understood Fang Mu’s meaning—his words pointed to the Qingdian Clan.
Gu Anxing had considered this possibility, but he was unwilling to believe that reality was as he imagined.
The Town Rock Family had been wholly dependent on the Qingdian Clan and had always shown loyalty to them.
Although they had their own little plans for the development of their family, they had always cooperated fully with the Qingdian Clan’s orders.
