The family domain expands! Those who follow me shall prosper; those who defy me shall perish!

Xiao Zhan's magnanimity won the complete allegiance of every senior member of the Xiao Clan present.

They all looked at Xiao Zhan with a trace of reverence in their eyes.

Xiao Zhan waved a hand, and the hall immediately fell silent.

His expression gradually grew solemn as he turned his gaze toward Xiao Shan.

"Xiao Shan, how are things going with the Jia Lie Family and the Ao Ba Family?"

Xiao Zhan cared little for the two families' wealth.

What concerned him instead was their territory.

To expand the family domain, he had to expand the Xiao Clan's sphere of influence.

That was why he had issued an order to Xiao Shan as soon as the two families were destroyed.

He had to occupy all of both families' territory in the shortest possible time.

That included not only their estates, but also their businesses and subordinate forces.

As long as the Xiao Clan's banners were planted on those territories, the family domain would extend over them directly.

"Reporting to the Clan Leader, I've already sent men to occupy the Jia Lie Family's and Ao Ba Family's estates. I'm also dispatching men to take over their businesses as quickly as possible."

Hearing Xiao Zhan's question, Xiao Shan forcibly suppressed his excitement and answered respectfully.

"As for the two families' subordinate forces, what is your stance, Clan Leader?"

Xiao Shan looked cautiously at Xiao Zhan, unsure how to proceed.

As two of Wutan City's three great powers, the Jia Lie Family and the Ao Ba Family naturally had quite a few subordinate forces.

Xiao Zhan immediately understood what Xiao Shan meant, and a flicker of killing intent flashed through his eyes.

"Xiao Shan, and everyone else here, remember this."

"Destroying the Jia Lie Family and the Ao Ba Family is far from our goal."

Xiao Zhan slowly rose, and a powerful aura instantly enveloped everyone present.

"Three days!"

"I'm giving you three days!"

"In three days, I want all of Wutan City to belong to our Xiao Clan."

"Within Wutan City, not a single voice opposing the Xiao Clan shall be heard again."

"Those who follow me shall prosper; those who defy me shall perish!"

"Anyone who dares resist is to be killed without exception!"

"Understood?"

Xiao Zhan's voice, laden with killing intent, reverberated throughout the hall.

Those who follow me shall prosper; those who defy me shall perish!

Every senior member of the Xiao Clan present, Xiao Shan included, felt a chill in their hearts at his words.

They could clearly sense the towering ambition behind Xiao Zhan's declaration.

Yet alongside their shock, the senior members of the Xiao Clan felt a surge of excitement.

Unify Wutan City!

As members of the Xiao Clan, they naturally longed to see their clan grow powerful.

After all, the Xiao Clan had once been one of the Imperial Capital's great families.

After its decline, the Xiao Clan had been driven out of the Imperial Capital and settled in tiny Wutan City.

Restoring the Xiao Clan's glory had always been the wish of every member of the clan.

Now that this wish was about to be realized through their own hands, the senior members present were naturally thrilled beyond measure.

"Understood!"

Coming to their senses, they all gazed at Xiao Zhan with fervent eyes and shouted in unison, their faces brimming with excitement.

"If you understand, then waste no time. Get moving!"

"If you haven't accomplished it in three days, just see how I deal with you."

Xiao Zhan waved a hand and dismissed them all.

Once everyone had left, Xiao Zhan slowly closed his eyes and sensed the state of the family domain.

A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes, a trace of excitement appearing on his face.

As the Xiao Clan disciples occupied the Jia Lie Family and the Ao Ba Family, the family domain had indeed expanded.

Now, centered on the three great families' estates, the family domain encompassed more than half of Wutan City.

In other words, within this area, Xiao Zhan was invincible.

No matter who entered the area covered by the family domain, they would be no match for Xiao Zhan.

"Misty Cloud Sect... if you dare come, I dare kill!"

Recalling the threats Ge Ye had made before leaving last time, Xiao Zhan's lips curled with a trace of killing intent.

Judging by the time that had passed, Ge Ye should already have returned to the Misty Cloud Sect and reported what he had experienced at the Xiao Clan.

"I wonder how Yun Yun will handle this?"

Xiao Zhan suddenly thought of the Misty Cloud Sect's master.

The original story had mentioned that this Misty Cloud Sect Master was a peerless beauty.

If Yun Yun dared come, he would not mind detaining her outright and keeping this beauty in Wutan City forever.

With the family domain, he, Xiao Zhan, would be an emperor-like existence within Wutan City from now on.

Anyone who entered Wutan City, no matter who they were, would have their life and death in his hands!

After receiving Xiao Zhan's orders, the Xiao Clan disciples who had destroyed the two families did not stop. Instead, they turned their sights on the other forces.

Thus, the slaughter that had originally been confined to the three great families began to spread, sweeping across all of Wutan City.

Led by Xiao Shan and the other senior members of the Xiao Clan, an utterly bloody slaughter engulfed the entire city.

Those who follow me shall prosper; those who defy me shall perish!

Following Xiao Zhan's "decree," whenever they encountered anyone unwilling to submit to the Xiao Clan, the Xiao Clan disciples mercilessly raised their butcher's blades, cutting down the weeds and tearing out the roots, leaving no one alive!

Of course, Xiao Zhan did not merely watch throughout the entire ordeal. Whenever they encountered an expert the Xiao Clan disciples struggled to handle, he would appear and kill them.

Although he wanted to temper the Xiao Clan disciples and cultivate a large number of elites, Xiao Zhan did not want them to suffer excessive casualties.

Amid the Xiao Clan's merciless slaughter, screams rang endlessly through Wutan City, and blood flowed in rivers.

Only those who obediently submitted to the Xiao Clan survived.

With the two great families destroyed, no force in Wutan City could contend with the Xiao Clan. With Xiao Zhan overseeing everything as well, the Xiao Clan disciples swept through almost unopposed.

Before long, nearly every force in Wutan City had submitted beneath the Xiao Clan's banner.

"Clan Leader, how should we handle the Mittel Auction House?"

That day, Xiao Shan came to the courtyard where Xiao Zhan lived and asked with a somewhat grave expression.

With the Xiao Clan's strength, they could naturally sweep away the other minor forces without mercy.

But the Mittel Auction House was different. Not only did it have a Da Dou Shi expert guarding it,

everyone also knew that the Mittel Family had an extraordinary background. Behind the auction house stood the Mittel Family, one of the Imperial Capital's three great families.

Faced with such a force, the Xiao Clan disciples naturally dared not act rashly. Xiao Shan was also at a loss and hurried over to report to Xiao Zhan.

"The Mittel Auction House..."

Xiao Zhan frowned at his words. He had nearly forgotten that such a force existed in Wutan City.

"All right, get back to your work. I'll pay the Mittel Auction House a visit myself."

Xiao Zhan waved a hand, dismissing Xiao Shan.

Xiao Zhan felt not the slightest apprehension toward the Mittel Auction House.

He even dared openly provoke the Misty Cloud Sect. What could a mere Mittel Auction House possibly amount to before him?
