In truth, Lan Tong had long been loyal to Xia Xingchen, but the meaning behind his actions this time around was extraordinary.

After killing Ye Qingsu and Zhao Mu, Lan Tong became the only expert in the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror in Eastsea City, and the Lan Family also became the overlord of Eastsea City in one leap. Under this kind of background, Lan Tong kneeling in front of Xia Xingchen was more like a ritual, a form of gratitude.

The moment Lan Tong knelt down, Xia Xinghe didn't care in the slightest. Even Chu Qingcheng didn't show any fluctuations in her expression. The two of them knew that it was only right for Lan Tong to kneel.

But in the eyes of Eastsea City's citizens, it was different.

Some people praised Lan Tong for his gratitude and didn't forget his initial intention.

There were also people who felt that Xia Xinghe was the true overlord of Eastsea City, and the Lan family was merely Xia Xinghe's spokesperson.

All in all, outside the Lan family residence, discussions were going on and on. The focus of the discussions and the main topic was still the same as before, still singing praises to Xia Xingchen …

"Patriarch Lan, get up." Xia Xinghe had completely blocked out all the discussions around him. He only lightly raised his hand, indicating for Lan Tong to stand up. Only when Lan Tong stood up straight and respectfully stood beside Xia Xinghe did Xia Xinghe say, "Where's Chu Rong and Lan Yiyi?"

"Yi Yi is in the ancestral hall, while the fourth prince is cultivating." Lan Tong said in an obscure tone.

Those who didn't understand the inside story of Lan Tong's words didn't understand at all.

In the ancestral hall, Mist Yiyi was studying pill concocting while Chu Rong was cultivating. He was comprehending the two great abilities imparted to him by Xia Xinghe.

However, Lan Tong was very confident, and Lan Yiyi and Chu Rong were also very calm. In the face of the joint surprise attack of the Ye and Zhao Families, only Lan Tong was able to handle it.

"Clean up all the unnecessary forces and enter the Sea Suppressing Canyon." Xia Xinghe lightly said to Lan Tong, and soon after, the two of them entered the Lan Residence.

The first part of Xia Xinghe's sentence was to eliminate those with ill intentions, such as the remnants of the three great families.

In Eastsea City, Xia Xinghe would not let go because this place was remote enough and there was no room for strife. More importantly, there were countless elixirs growing in the Sea Suppressing Canyon, thus, Eastsea City could be considered a logistics supply for Xia Xinghe and must be controlled by the Lan family!

The latter half of the sentence was the true key. Collect spiritual medicine!

Xia Xinghe needed to mobilize all the manpower in Eastsea City to gather the elixirs. Only then would Xia Xinghe be able to refine even more elixirs, and only then, would he be able to settle the score with the TianChu Martial Academy and He Kunlun!

Waiting for someone to find trouble with him, he might as well slaughter his way through the gates. Just like how Xia Xinghe did in the past, he would go straight to the Fang Clan and massacre the entire clan.

Therefore, the Chu Capital had become the next target for Xia Xinghe.

After entering the Lan Clan's residence side by side with Chu Qingcheng, the two of them headed straight for the ancestral hall. As for outside the residence, Lan Tong's voice was completely blocked by Xia Xinghe and Chu Qingcheng.

Within the small courtyard of the ancestral hall, Chu Rong was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, sweating profusely, as if he was trying to comprehend something. A strange heat wave continuously spread out from the ancestral hall, and the heavy pill furnace rumbled.

It seems that Lan Yiyi and Chu Rong were diligent enough.
