Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Dividing the Qin Family

    ?

    The Qin Family was massacred.

    Many people''s faces turned deathly pale, and the stench of blood that hit them made them feel nauseated.

    When they looked at Gu Qingfeng again, a mix of terror and fear had already filled their eyes.

    Before this, the Iron Bone Gang and the Chu Family were annihilated.

    Now, the Qin Family had been exterminated as well.

    The Gu Family Master did not make a move lightly, but once he did, he wiped out entire families.

    Such ruthless methods sent chills down their spines.

    After all.

    Strife and slaughter were common in the Martial World.

    But annihilating entire families was not often done.

    Mainly because such acts could lead to criticism and gossip.

    Who in the Martial World didn''t value their reputation? If they engaged in indiscriminate slaughter, it would only bring trouble upon themselves.

    However.

    None of these concerns seemed to exist for Gu Qingfeng.

    The Gu Family used to act with discretion, and they did not have a clear understanding of them, but the scene that unfolded before them completely overturned their perceptions.

    At the same time.

    Gu Qingfeng was also labeled as someone not to be trifled with.

    Who could withstand someone who destroyed families at every turn?

    ...

    Less than half a day later.

    Not a single living person remained in the Qin Family.

    Gu Qingfeng ordered Meng Peng to loot the Qin Family''s possessions, taking everything back to the Gu Family and then left.

    After a long time had passed.

    Someone finally dared step over the many corpses in front of the Qin Family''s gate and

    entered the Qin residence.

    Inside, the vast Qin Family had turned into a silent desolation, with the intense smell of blood permeating the air.

    Seeing this.

    Many people''s faces turned pale again.

    It wasn''t long.

    The news of the Qin Family''s annihilation spread.

    Once this message got out.

    The entire Martial World was shaken.

    The Qin Family, being an old and established family of the White Stone Dao, now that they were wiped out, the impact was enormous.

    Especially when it became clear that Gu Qingfeng was behind the destruction of the Qin Family, many powers were secretly frightened and regretful.

    Nobody thought.

    That the Gu Family would really dare to act in such a manner.

    After all,

    Until a critical moment, the factions of White Stone Dao in the Martial World would still be

    disjointed.

    But now with the Qin Family gone, many powers felt threatened, and at this time, it would be very easy for the Heavenly Cloud Sect to lead and integrate this force.

    As long as the Gu Family was taken down,

    The Heavenly Cloud Sect was bound to rise.

    The words of Yun Changkong also made Yun Tianxing''s eyes light up.

    Indeed.

    This was truly an opportunity for the Heavenly Cloud Sect to rise.

    He had been shocked by the news of the Qin Family''s demise, that he hadn''t thought of this

    aspect.

    "The Sect Master should immediately contact the various forces, and then deal with the Gu

    Family together!"

    "Very well-"

    ...

    In the Gu Family''s main hall.

    Gu Qingfeng sat in the principal seat, and the remaining were Meng Peng, Gu Yang, and the heads of several other forces, such as Purple Bamboo Manor.

    Unlike before, now Murong Xiu and the others all sat upright, a color of reverence filling their

    faces when looking towards the person in the principal seat.

    Subduing the Qin Family''s old patriarch.

    Killing the Qin Family Master, Qin Hongtang.

    With his astonishing military exploits, Gu Qingfeng had displayed ample powerful strength.

    Such terrifying power was beyond their ability to contend with.

    Gu Qingfeng spoke, "The Qin Family has dominated White Stone Dao for many years, with numerous industries under their flag. The Gu Family now has limited manpower, so the task of taking over the Qin Family''s industries shall be arranged by you four houses. But I have a requirement: fifty percent of all future profits from the Qin Family''s industries

    must be handed over to the Gu Family. The remaining fifty percent will belong to each of your

    houses.

    Additionally, thirty percent of the profits from your original industries must also be regularly

    turned over each year."

    "No problem!"

    "Everything shall be done as the Gu Family Master instructs-"

    Murong Xiu and the others were visibly delighted, hurriedly clasping their fists and speaking.

    The Qin Family had many industries in their hands; even just a portion of those industries was

    beyond what their own forces could compare to. If they could swallow up these industries, it would be enough to greatly increase their own strength.

    Even if they could only take half of these industries, and had to hand over thirty percent from their previously held industries to the Gu Family, if one seriously calculated, it would still be

    a lucrative deal.

    Therefore,

    There was no reason for them to refuse.
