<h4>Chapter 477 - His Name Shakes the Great Chu Empire</h4>


    Time flew by, and soon half a month had passed.


    The Qin n mansion, destroyed in that massive battle, now had apletely new look. What was once the glorious Qin n mansion had be the Chen n mansion.


    All the Qin n members had left the mansion within three days, taking nothing with them.


    During the Chen n''s takeover of the Qin n mansion and their businesses, the entire imperial city waspletely reshuffled.


    The Qin n was now history, and the other ns that had helped them, namely, the Zhu n, and the Lu n also faded into oblivion and became history.


    Although Chen Fan didn’t wipe them outpletely, he ughtered their leaders. In a corrup environment like the imperial city, this made them vulnerable, and other ns quickly divided their assets.


    Meanwhile, the Nangong n had also been on the decline.


    Nangong Baxiong had publicly separated from the Nangong n. Afterward, he brought the Moon Bloodline members with him to the Chen n.


    Now, the number of Core Formation realm experts the Nangong n had could be counted on one hand. Aside from Nangong Xuan—at the seventh level—the others were only at the first or second level.


    As one of the four great ns, they had a lot of businesses in the imperial city that drew envy from the others.


    In the past, the Nangong n thrived, and people dared not make any reckless moves despite desiring their assets. But now, the Nangong n had hit rock bottom. The Yang n and the Su n took the opportunity to strike, taking advantage of the situation to seize the Nangong n’s businesses.


    Despite being furious at the situation, Nangong Xuan and the others were powerless to do a thing in the face of the Yang and Su ns.


    The Nangong n could have resisted the Yang and Su ns in the past; now, who would they send to fight back?


    Relying on the old and frail Nangong Xuan, a lone seventh-level Core Formation expert?


    The Yang and Su ns had taken more than half of the Nangong n’s businesses, and their strength had declined steeply.


    Qingfeng Restaurant was thergest and most luxurious restaurant in the imperial city. Only those with a certain level of status and power could even step through its doors.


    Even the waiters and waitresses here were all in the Qigong realm.


    “Life is truly like a dream. The thriving Qin n actually fell intoplete decline overnight and became history. It’s really saddening.”


    “What’s there to be saddened about! In my opinion, the Qin n getting their just desserts is what happened."


    “Hehe, among the old four great ns, the Qin n and Nangong n have already fallen, reced by the Chen n. I think the imperial city’s power structure will now be a three-way split between these ns."


    “Nangong Xuan, that old fool, must have been truly blind. If he had chosen to stand by the side and take his hands off this matter, Chen Fan would have spared his n. Heck, he is only alive because Nangong Yue pleaded for him. The only reason the Nangong n is still standing is because of him. Otherwise, all their assets would have been divided up."


    “That’s right. Nangong Xuan doesn’t have much longer to live, either. His death would mark the destruction of the Nangong n. I wonder what the Nangong n members think when they see the Chen n be more prosperous by the day?”


    “Although the Chen n is now flourishing, don’t forget Chen Fan and Duan Jingtian’s uing duel. Chen Fan still has a little over six months, but once Duan Jingtian defeats him, the rising Chen n would be immediately wiped out.”


    “That’s not true. Nangong Baxiong has already joined the Chen n with the Moon Bloodline’s people, and I heard that Nangong Baxiong advanced to the sixth level three days ago. So, even if Chen Fan dies, the Chen n will stand strong in the imperial city with Nangong Baxiong around.”


    “I heard the Qin n members have all entered the royal pce?”


    “<i>Mmm</i>. After all, Qin Wudi’s wife is Lord Chu’s younger sister. With that connection, it’s understandable that the royal pce would ept the Qin n members. Besides, the Qin n still has a few Core Formation realm experts to bolster their strength."


    “<i>Haaa</i>, speaking of which, Nangong Qingshuang must be the most hurt by this. Her grand wedding became a joke. She would have be the matriarch of the Qin n in the future, but what happened in the end? She became the number one beauty of the imperial city wanted by none.”


    “......”


    Even though half a month had passed, the news of the battle at the Qin n showed no signs of dying down. Instead, the talks were bing increasingly intense.


    Everyone in the imperial city was talking about Chen Fan and that battle.


    In a corner of the Qingfeng Restaurant’s second floor, several figures were drinking with lowered heads and hushed voices. Hearing the discussions of the nearby crowd, their expressions became ugly.


    If anyone nced their way, they would realize that one of them was actually Nangong Qingshuang.


    Nangong Qingshuang’splexion was ghastly pale and her eyes became dispirited as she heard the nearby conversations.


    Her wedding was ruined, and she had indeed be the number one but unwanted beauty. How pitiful.


    “I heard something else too. Do you remember the imperial city’s Zhao n?”


    “Of course, I do. It was also arge n, but they disappeared overnight like someone had wiped them out. No one knows the reason or the culprit, right?”


    “Hehe, aren’t you a smart one? Then do you also know that Zhao Ru from that n took part in hunting down Chen Zhengqing? That mysterious masked man who caused havoc in the Zhao n delivered Zhao Ru’s head to them...”


    “What? You mean to say that mysterious masked man from back then is Chen Fan? So, the Zhao n’s annihtion was also...”


    “......”


    As the people from the imperial city dug deeper, more information about Chen Fan emerged. For example, it was discovered that the mysterious masked man who infiltrated the Zhao n was Chen Fan.


    At the Qin n mansion—no, the Chen n mansion:


    Chen Tianxiong and the others had moved their family properties to the imperial city.


    The Qin n’s businesses were unlike the Watermoon City’s Zhao n and those other great ns. They wereplicated and very tricky; their assets were incredibly massive.


    The Yang and Su ns devoured the Nangong n’s territories and businesses, but they dared noty a finger on the Qin n’s, as that was Chen Fan’s trophy.


    Laying a finger on it would be equivalent to provoking Chen Fan. Who would dare to provoke him now?


    Although the Qin n’s assets were massive, Nangong Baxiong and the others managed to take over and organize them efficiently.


    The Qin n’s treasury had alsoe into the Chen n’s possession.


    Chen Fan arrived at the treasury. Gazing at the treasures piled high, he couldn’t help but marvel at the Qin n’s umted wealth. It was incredibly deep and rich, truly befitting the once number-one great n.


    <i>I wonder if there’s any treasure here that I can use? Duan Jingtian’s sentence is about to end. The day I sh with him is also close at hand. I need to raise my cultivation to the next level! </i>Chen Fan thought, his eyes flickering.


    Although Chen Fan’s name had spread far and wide, and everyone knew of him after the massacre at the Qin n, his uing sh with Duan Jingtian was looming, and he still wasn’t absolutely confident in his victory.


    He had defeated the eighth-ranked Dongfang Yu in front of countless people half a month ago. However, as he had said then, Dongfang Yu might be ranked higher than Duan Jingtian, but his strength was inferior.
