” Master Chen, you must be joking. If the Chen family is weak, how can they destroy the Song family?”Patriarch Zhao stroked his white beard and smiled.

Seeing this, Yang Chen was stunned for a moment before he said,””The royal family was the one who did this. It has nothing to do with my Chen family.”

“Alright, this old man doesn’t care if the Chen Clan plotted this or if the Song Clan deserves it. It’s best that the Chen Clan take the spirit field as soon as possible in exchange for the stability of my Zhao Clan.”Patriarch Zhao laughed.

“Junior understands.”

Yang Chen nodded, and with a burst of spiritual energy, he took all the spiritual fields into his pocket.

Then, Chen Yang looked at the members of the Zhao Clan.” Clan Leader Zhao, why are the nobles living in seclusion here?”

“With the strength of the nobles, they can find a city and establish a clan. Isn’t it much better than here?”

“If you don’t mind, I can give you a city from the Song family’s territory.”

“I thank you for your kindness, but my Zhao Clan is already used to this place, so we won’t move.”Zhao Clan Leader smiled and waved his hand.

Seeing this, Chen Yang once again cupped his hands at the Zhao Clan Leader.” In that case, Chen Yang will take his leave.””

Immediately, Chen Yang and the other left Zhao Village. After leaving, Yang Chen turned to look at Zhao Cun,” Great Elder, after the Piercing Guard finished training, the first target to investigate is the Zhao Clan’s secret.”

“I understand.”

Chen Clan, in the meeting hall.

After taking over the Song family’s business, Chen Yang brought Chen Xuan back to the family to discuss matters.

“Patriarch, according to the statistics, the Song family’s annual income is as much as five thousand spirit stones. Excluding the cost, it was 3,500 spirit stones.”Chen Xuan handed Chen Yang a booklet.

“Five thousand spirit stones a year? This can’t be right.” Yang Chen frowned.” Although I don’t know the exact amount of spirit stones the Song family has earned, I’m not sure.”

“But as an Eighth-rank Aristocratic Family, the Song Family’s annual income should be around 10,000 spirit stones.”

“Why does the Song Clan only earn 5,000 spirit stones a year? How could they afford to raise an Eighth-rank Aristocratic Family?”

In the past, the Chen family’s annual income was as much as 1,000 spirit stones, but they were still living in poverty.

The strength of an Eighth-rank Aristocratic Family was about ten times that of a Nineth-rank Aristocratic Family, so the consumption was naturally more than ten times that of a Nineth-rank Aristocratic Family.

Even if it was 10,000 spiritual stones, it was still not enough for an eight-rank aristocratic family to earn 5,000 spiritual stones a year.

When Chen Xuan saw this, he smiled awkwardly and said,”Patriarch, you might not know this, but these are indeed all the Song family’s earnings in Nanyang County.”

“5,000 spirit stones is enough for an Eighth-rank Aristocratic Family?”Chen Yang looked at Chen Xuan in confusion.

“Patriarch, you might not know this, but Nanyang County, Jiangyou County, Aiming County, Zuoling County, and Youling County, the income of the Eighth-rank aristocratic families in these five counties is around five thousand spirit stones.”Chen Xuan said.

“Oh, I’d like to hear more about it.” Yang Chen asked curiously.

“Patriarch, do you know that the territory of these five counties is only the size of two ordinary counties?”

“With a small territory, the profits will naturally be less.”Chen Xuan explained.

Chen Yang was even more confused.

“Then why is it divided into five counties? It can be divided into two counties. Moreover, with such a small amount of income, how could these Eighth-rank Aristocratic Families continue to survive?”

“These two questions have the same answer.”Chen Xuan smiled and said,”Master, do you know about black iron?””

“Darksteel is a Grade Eight Mystical Material. It is the main material for crafting Grade Eight or Grade Nine Spirit Weapons, and it is also a necessary material.”

“One jin of dark iron can be sold for about ten spirit stones. On the other hand, refining a ninth-grade spiritual artifact would consume an average of ten catties of dark iron.”

“Could it be that there is some connection between the five counties and the black iron?”Yang Chen asked.

When Chen Xuan heard this, he nodded.” Family head’s guess is right. The reason why the territory the size of two counties is divided into five counties.

It was because there was a dark iron mine at the border of the five counties.”

“This dark iron mine can produce at least fifty thousand spirit stones every year.”

“If such a large meteorite mine mine is monopolized by one family, after one to two hundred years of accumulation, it will at least create a strong rank eight or even rank seven force.”

“The Beast Tamer Sect was naturally unwilling, so they split this place into five counties. Let the five Eighth-rank Aristocratic Families split the profits of the dark iron ore.”

Yang Chen understood. I was wondering how such a small territory could accommodate five Eighth-rank Aristocratic Families. So it was because of the Darksteel Mine.

“According to Grand Elder’s words, the Song Clan’s biggest business is in this dark iron mine.

Now that the Song Clan had been destroyed, the remaining four eighth-rank aristocratic families had divided up the Song Clan’s share.”

“That’s right.”

Yang Chen thought for a moment and then said,” I remember that the Eighth Elder’s wife, my Ninth Aunt, is a branch descendant of the Xu family, an eighth-rank aristocratic family in Aiming County.””

“She’s been married to our Chen family for so many years. It’s time for her to go back and take a look.”

“What do you mean?” Chen Xuan looked at Chen Yang’s face seriously and nodded.” 1 know what to do.””

Half a month later, outside the city gate of Xu City in Aiming County.

The city gate was tall and majestic. On the plaque of the city gate were two large golden words.

“Xu Cheng.”

Looking at the majestic walls of Xu City, countless pedestrians stopped and yearned for it.

The entire Jiang Prefecture knew that Xu City was a city guarded by the Xu Clan, an Eighth-rank Aristocratic Family.

The Xu Clan was an established eighth-rank aristocratic family in Jiang Prefecture. They had been an eighth-rank aristocratic family in Aiming County for 400 years.

After generations of management, the family’s foundation was much deeper than that of a new eighth-rank aristocratic family..
