Mo Ling chuckled aloud and rubbed his bald head, “The entire provincial city basically belongs to the patriarch now. How would there be any problems if the patriarch created an energy-gathering formation within his own territory? Moreover, with the support of the patriarch, our Tian Yuan n is a n with an Overgod at the very least. If we act the same as the other ns, how will we be able to show them our status?”


    “Fair enough. Let’s do that then. Since the patriarch has already delegated the general affairs to the two of us, we should do our best andplete it to the best of our ability and not disappoint the patriarch,” said Ando Fu. Afterwards, he and Mo Ling immediately went off to arrange the matter.


    At the same time, the Huo family began to move. Several of their Deities left the n with groups of guards, scattering into several dozen groups across the city. They all surrounded a few inns and shops before smashing the ques and signs forcefully, turning them to dust. Afterwards, they reced them with ques and signs they had prepared beforehand.


    The new signs all possessed the symbol of the Huo family. All the shops and inns that possessed this sign belonged to the Huo family. The guards and elders from the Huo family only touched the signs that possessed the unique symbol of the Tian Yuan n.


    These businesses originally belonged to the Sen family, but ever since the Sen family sold theirnd to the Tian Yuan n, the businesses naturally ended up with the Tian Yuan n.


    “All these people belong to the Huo family, and all the signs they’re destroying seem to belong to the newly-founded Tian Yuan n...”


    “The Huo family clearly wants to take over the businesses of the Tian Yuan n forcefully. What a pitiful n. They’ve only just been founded, and before they can run their businesses, the Huo family has forcefully taken over them...”


    “The strong prey on the weak. Who can you me for the Tian Yuan n for being so weak? What can the Tian Yuan n do even if the Huo family wants to abuse them...”


    “The Tian Yuan n offended one of the three most powerful ns as soon as they moved into the provincial city. It’ll be a gloomy future for them in the provincial city...”


    “I had even nned to be a guard for the Tian Yuan n. Looks like it’s better to remain distant from that n now...”


    ...


    The matter of the Huo family taking over the Tian Yuan n’s businesses spread through the city very quickly. In just a short time, everyone learnt about it, and it became the topic of conversation.


    However, the Huo family was not the only n that forcefully took over the Tian Yuan n’s businesses. As one of the three most powerful ns as well, the Dong family began to move, taking over the remaining businesses of the Tian Yuan n.


    Working together, the Huo family and the Dong family took over all the businesses of the Tian Yuan n. Soon, the Tian Yuan n was only left with their manor.


    The movements of the Huo family and the Dong family against the Tian Yuan n had raised quite arge discussion in the provincial city. However, without any doubt, everyone took pity in the Tian Yuan n for what they had gone through.


    The Tian Yuan n’s response was as expected. They did nothing as if they had no idea that others hadpletely taken over all their businesses.


    There was an extremelyrge courtyard within the provincial city, and a stone tower that was several hundred meters tall stood in its depths. At this moment, two old men sat on the top floor. From the presences they gave off, they were both Gods.


    The two of them were the ancestors of the Nanyun n, Nanyun Tong and Nanyun Haobai.


    “Uncle Tong, why do I feel like you’ve be more and more cowardlytely? You’re even so cautious about a small n that has only been founded recently. Look at the Huo family and the Dong family. After taking over all the businesses of the Tian Yuan n, the Tian Yuan n hasn’t given a rat’s ass about it at all. They dare not to. If you had listened to me, our Nanyun n would have been able to im at least twenty percent of the Tian Yuan n’snd. It’ll provide our n with quite arge ie. Even if the royal city orders us to hand thend over in the future, the Tian Yuan n will still have to pay a huge sum to buy it back,” Nanyun Haobai was perplexed.


    Nanyun Tong shook his head gently. He stared in the direction of the Tian Yuan n and said gently, “Hao Bai, the Tian Yuan n is not as simple as they seem on the surface. If you pay close attention, it’ll be pretty obvious that although the people below Godhood are unsettled and are panicking after the two ns have taken over all their businesses, all their Deity elders and their two early Gods remain extremelyposed.”


    “Perhaps they were already expecting this,” said Nanyun Haobai.


    Nanyun Tong shook his head again. His eyes deepened, and he said, “If I’ve guessed correctly, the provincial city is about to change.”


    “It’s going to change?” Nanyun Tong was confused.


    Huo Luzhi hovered high in the air above the Huo family as he gazed coldly in the direction of the Tian Yuan n. He sneered, “Tian Yuan n, this is what happens when you offend our Huo family. I’d like to see how you gain a stable footing in the provincial city from today onwards.”


    Huo Luzhi’s voice was scornful towards the Tian Yuan n.


    At this moment, a huge formation suddenly appeared in the direction of the Tian Yuan n. With the appearance of the formation, all the origin energy in the provincial city immediately became chaotic. Soon afterwards, the origin energy gathered towards the Tian Yuan n rapidly.


    The sudden urrence immediately attracted everyone’s attention. As they looked towards where the origin energy gathered, they all became stunned as disbelief flooded their faces.


    Huo Luzhi’s disdainful expression froze at that moment. He became slightly stunned as well as he gazed in the direction of the Tian Yuan n dazedly. Gradually, disbelief filled his face as well.


    “The Tian Yuan n has actually set up arge-scale energy-gathering formation, drawing over around forty percent of the origin energy in the city. What is the Tian Yuan n doing? How can they be so reckless?” Huo Luzhi murmured. The Tian Yuan n’s actions had stunned him.


    Such arge energy-gathering formation had basically taken away forty percent of the city’s origin energy. Even the three most powerful ns in the city would not dare to do something like that, as it would directly get in the interests of the other ns in the city. The final oue would be that they would be enemies of the entire city. All the powerful ns and experts who had settled down in the city would gang up against them.


    At the same time, a huge uproar rose in the streets of the city.


    “Is the Tian Yuan n stupid? How can they do such a dumb thing? How will all the powerful ns in the city just stand by when they want to take so much origin energy for themselves...”


    “The Tian Yuan n could not even resist the abuse from the Huo family and the Dong family. Now they’ve done it. They’ve offended all the ns in the city in a single stroke...”


    ...


    As everyone discussed in the streets, powerful presences immediately appeared in various ces across the city. Many Gods from the ns of the city flew towards the Tian Yuan n with hostility.
