The streets, which were bustling with people and traffic just yesterday, are now a sight to behold.

A city filled with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares, pedestrians chatting and laughing, and children playing.

Overnight, the situation changed drastically, and not only were the city gates wide open...

Even the once bustling streets are now deserted...

Only the occasional gust of wind carried a touch of melancholy.

Shops along the street were closed, and the street was littered with debris dropped by people rushing to get there.

Qin Luo and the others seemed to be frozen in time at this moment.

Everyone was puzzled; could it be that during their absence...

The city has been captured? That can't be right!

This area was abandoned by other countries because of its barren land and sandstorms.

Who would come to rob a place that nobody wants? Besides, I didn't see any troops!

Seeing the city transformed like this, Ji Shuangzhu was the happiest.

She even felt that at this moment, the shackles binding her and her descendants had finally been broken.

Kui Duo didn't have much affection for this place; she just wanted to follow the mountain spider and walk towards the green hills and clear waters.

I want to see the water town Qin Luo described, and the scene of flowers blooming all over the city.

Feng Zangce seemed somewhat anxious, because he knew that the Feng family members were still trapped in the Feng residence.

The others are fine, but I'm quite worried about Feng Chi; he must be extremely anxious.

Wang Yue and Ci Yue looked indifferent; they already had new goals.

Qin Luo and Wu Hua were still focused on getting everyone settled quickly before heading to their next destination.

The group first went to the Feng family, and Wu Hua removed the barrier afterward.

The first one to rush out was Feng Chi, followed by a string of guards.

The moment they saw Feng Zangce, they hugged him and burst into tears.

"Ahhh! Young master, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? Did that monster do anything to you?"

Feng Zangce let them do as they pleased, crying as he examined himself. After they finished their inspection...

He then reached out and wiped away the tears from their faces one by one.

"Don't cry, I'm fine, everything's alright!"

Seeing that his complexion was rosy and his voice was full of energy, Feng Chi was relieved.

"It's good that nothing's wrong, it's good that nothing's wrong, young master. From now on, you can do whatever you want, as long as you're willing."

Before Feng Zangce could reply, the Feng family members behind him objected.

They remained trapped within the barrier, only able to hear the roar of the Kui Xu and feel the tremors from the collapsing ground of the black market.

They knew nothing else and believed the curse had not been lifted, thus preventing them from leaving the city.

A respected elder was the first to step forward and sternly rebuke him.

"Feng Chi, how dare you, a mere servant, be the master of my Feng family? Whether Ce'er becomes the head of the family or not is not up to you to decide."

After he finished speaking, the other clansmen chimed in to his defense.

"That's right, the successive heads of the family are all predetermined, and they can't be changed arbitrarily."

"Yes, we only thought Ce'er was too young before, so we let a capable junior take over for a few years. When Ce'er gets older, he can take over the position of family head."

Feng Zangce remained silent, merely watching them as if they were a joke.

The elders probably didn't vie for the position of family head because they were always afraid of the curse.

But money has always been a powerful motivator, and according to ancestral rules, the head of the household receives 50% of all family profits.

The clan elders receive 30%, the remaining 20% ​​is divided equally among the clan members, and daily expenses are paid by themselves.

The Feng family could easily pocket a considerable amount from the black market stall fees and commissions alone, not to mention the money they earned from the letter-seekers.

Such a large sum of money would make anyone want to pocket it.

Therefore, the clan elders tried every means to find a descendant of the Feng family who was easy to control and not favored.

Using the excuse that Feng Zangce was too young and incapable, he temporarily assumed the position of head of the family.

I want to test whether this curse only applies to past family heads or to the direct descendants of the Feng family.

They were determined to firmly grasp the lion's share of the Feng family's interests in their own hands.

This is why, despite the death of Kazezō Saku's parents, he was not able to immediately inherit the position of family head.

The reason they're proposing he inherit the position of family head now is simply because they know Kui Xu has emerged.

If they were to seek revenge, they would surely push this direct descendant out to take the blame.

The Feng family members spoke eloquently, their words utterly beautiful, but their motives were utterly disgusting.

Feng Chiqi's face flushed red. He wanted to retort, but knowing the vast difference in their social status, he didn't know how to speak for a moment.

Just as the atmosphere was tense, Qin Luo walked over to Feng Zangce and asked him...

"Hello, I've got everything sorted out, no worries for you. I'm online to serve you. We'll take everything and split the profits 50/50, how about that?"

For some reason, Feng Zangce instantly understood what she meant.

"Excellent!"

"make a deal!"

She then called Ciyue, Wangyue, Kuidoshan Spider, and Ji Shuangzhu together.

They gave each of them a large bag of medicine powder.

"Hold your breath, take them all down, and split the loot fifty-fifty!"

Everyone was immediately interested; they all knew that moving to a new place required a large sum of money.

Such a great money-making opportunity is right in front of us, we absolutely cannot let it slip by.

Wangyue and Ciyue were the first to rush out, grabbing the medicinal powder and spraying it wildly at the Feng family members.

Kui Duo and the Mountain Spider followed closely behind, while only Ji Shuangzhu calmly pulled Qin Luo aside to ask questions.

"It'll be the same when we go to the city lord's mansion. Those old fogies definitely haven't left yet; they must have hidden their belongings away."

Qin Luo reached out and shook her hand.

"make a deal!"

The two then joined the pesticide-spreading team.

Feng Zangce and Feng Chi felt a surge of satisfaction as they watched their tribesmen fall in droves.

Wu Hua disappeared the moment Qin Luo dispensed the medicine.

Like a sharp arrow, it headed straight for the Feng family's warehouse.
