In the end, Jin Xian's body was directly stabbed with eight swords!

One sword from each of the eight elders of the Jin Family. But Jin Xian did not die!

This is the family law of the Jin Family.

If brothers kill each other, they must die pierced by tens of thousands of swords!

Continuous streams of fresh blood flowed from Jin Xian's mouth, as he let out painful screams, "You...you who harmed the family head, will not die a good death!"

At that moment, a sword light flashed, and Jin Xian's head flew high, his blood soaring into the sky.

The one who made the move was Fang Lan.

"As the widow of Jin Ming, I am avenging him!"

Fang Lan decapitated Jin Xian with a sword, and then said through tears.

This silenced some dissatisfied elders of the Jin Family who wanted to speak up.

After all, how could it be too much for a young lady, willing to avenge Jin Ming as his widow, to behead Jin Xian with a sword?

It was entirely normal!

And it was Fang Lan's first time killing someone with her own hands!

After she beheaded Jin Xian with the sword, Fang Lan's hand holding the sword slightly trembled. She thought she would cry, thought she would be afraid, but she wasn't!

In Fang Lan's heart, she only felt a satisfying sense of vengeance. At the same time, deep inside her, it seemed as if something had shattered, and she even heard that breaking sound. Fang Lan slightly closed her eyes, aware that what had shattered...was her former life.

With this one sword, it would all stay far away from her henceforth.

But she did not regret it.

It was the path she had chosen for herself.

Chu Mo stood by, silently watching Fang Lan, feeling heartache for her, but he knew that this was a challenge she had to face by herself.

Once she got through this, it would be a wide-open sky from then on!

Afterwards, Chu Mo took Fang Lan, along with Lu Tianyue and others, back to the Lu Family.

As for the Jin Family, with Jin Xian dead, a new family head would naturally be chosen.

Actually, Jin Xian's roar before he died wasn't entirely wrong. Chu Mo indeed had been thinking about taking control of the power in Jinxiu City, but his intentions...were nothing like the sleazy ones Jin Xian had accused him of.

At the very least, Chu Mo would bring entirely new changes to Jinxiu City, cultivate the outstanding youth within the city, and give them inheritances they wouldn't have dared dream of before, allowing them a chance to break out of their world and reach for greater heights!

However, being accused in such a manner by Jin Xian, if Chu Mo were to say anything now, it would appear as if he indeed harbored some sinister motives. Therefore, Chu Mo decided to temporarily put aside this matter.

But to Chu Mo's surprise, just after he returned to the Lu Family, the heads of the Jin Family, the Hong Family, and several dozen smaller families immediately followed him to the Lu Family, looking to meet with Lu Tianming.

Lu Tianyue looked at Chu Mo and gave a slight smile, "They've come to pledge their loyalty."

"Hmm?" Chu Mo raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Tianyue.

Lu Tianyue said, "The words of Jin Xian have made those people nervous. They are afraid that you will really walk away and ignore the affairs of Jinxiu City from now on."

"And you? What do you think?" Chu Mo asked, looking at Lu Tianyue.

At that moment, Lu Tianqi spoke up from the side, "Brother Tianming is one of us, how could he just walk away?" While saying this, she looked at Chu Mo, her eyes shimmering with a different luster, "Am I right? Brother Tianming?"

Lu Tianyue silently sighed in her heart but managed a wry smile as she looked at Chu Mo, her heart also filled with anticipation for his response.

Because in the entire Jinxiu City, only she knew that the man before her... did not belong here, that if he wished to leave, there would be no ties to bind him!

Chu Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't leave here."

"That's wonderful!" Lu Tianqi exclaimed excitedly, clenching her fists before smugly looking at her sister, "See, I told you so!"

On Lu Tianyue's normally cold face, a faint smile appeared, and she softly hummed in agreement.

Afterward, Chu Mo went out to meet the visitors. Members from the Jin Family had the most awkward expressions, wishing to find a moment alone with Chu Mo to explain about aligning with the Lingyue Sect but found no opportunity.

Thus, although the Jin Family was one of the Three Great Families in Jinxiu City, the representative sent by the family could only let the representatives of the smaller families have their chance. In his heart, he blamed the already deceased Jin Xian even more, calling him a fool. Without waiting for the truth of the matter to fully surface, he had prematurely made his choice, revealing his hand.

This gambler's mentality... really wasn't suitable for becoming a family head!

Chu Mo did not show particular warmth to the people from the Jin Family. The only person from the Jin Family worth such treatment was no longer alive. The current members of the Jin Family, except for Jin Tiegang, were just viewed by Chu Mo as a bunch of opportunists. He did not despise them, but he also had no interest in giving them a second glance.

The elder representing the Jin Family could only sit there awkwardly, watching as the heads of the smaller families ingratiated themselves with "Lu Tianming", thinking with resignation and helplessness, "A bunch of unprincipled creatures!"

After a series of compliments, an Elder from the Hong Family finally stated their purpose.

"Young Master Lu, please do not take the words of Jin Xian to heart. We all understand that if not for Young Master Lu, Jinxiu City would have become unrecognizable long ago. Whether it be the Three Great Families or the other smaller families, they likely would no longer exist. Even bowing and scraping to the Lingyue Sect would merely turn us into their slaves and lapdogs," the Elder of the Hong Family boldly said, his gaze sweeping over the Jin Family Elder, who was blushing with embarrassment.

Although the Jin Family Elder frowned, he did not retort because the truth spoke for itself and was irrefutable.

The Elder of the Hong Family continued, bowing to Chu Mo, "Young Master Lu's nobility and astonishing strength, bearing the pressure of the Lingyue Sect and still returning safely, is indeed commendable. Now, Young Master Lu is the guardian deity of our entire Jinxiu City! Therefore, though I am of humble station, on behalf of the families present today, I dare to ask Young Master Lu to assume the role of City Lord of Jinxiu City."

"Yes, we hope that from now on, Young Master Lu can stay in Jinxiu City and become our City Lord! We are willing to contribute one-tenth of our family earnings to the City Lord's treasury every year. Please, Young Master Lu, do not refuse!"

"We are tired of living in fear! Please, Young Master Lu, take up the position as City Lord!"

"Please, Young Master Lu, take up the position as City Lord!"

Dozens of people, none of whom were nobodies in Jinxiu City, even the heads of the smallest families were significant figures!

Now that all these people were gathered here, asking Chu Mo to take on the role of the City Lord of Jinxiu City, such a scene was perhaps unprecedented in the entire Spirit Realm!

At this moment, the Jin Family Elder knew if he did not make a stand now, the coming days for the Jin Family... would indeed be tough!

Before coming, the other elders had already given him full authority to act as he saw fit.

Thus, the Jin Family Elder cleared his throat, just about to speak.

The Elder of the Hong Family chuckled lightly and looking at him, said, "Your Jin Family, I heard, has sided with the Lingyue Sect?"
