The Ambitions to Conquer the Official Career-Chapter 715 Gan Yinghe

The Great Elder of the Gan Family, Gan Yinghe, looked at a member of his clan with some surprise.

"You say that again."

"That ancient city is now owned by the Harbor City Xingyuan Investment Company, and the person in charge is Feng Xiaozhi. She replied that it would take one hundred billion to transfer the ancient city to us."

"How dare she!"

The Gan Family had always used methods involving power and money to secure many benefits. Now, wanting to acquire an ancient city, they had already pulled some strings and didn’t expect the other party to quote such a high price.

"The Great Elder, using our network of connections to suppress them a bit, I believe she will realize how formidable we are," the young man said with indignation in his voice.

"Foolish! The government is cracking down on corruption from top to bottom. Do you not know how many people have been arrested? Although there are still some under-the-table dealings, it all happens in the shadows. No one dares to mess around in public. Besides, Shisong County is the center of public opinion. Any small issue there can attract everyone’s attention. Those officials, while they like money, also wouldn’t dare to act rashly at this time."

"What should we do then?"

Gan Yinghe snorted and said, "We can’t do it openly, but can we not scheme in the shadows? A mere mortal is just that—a mortal. They don’t even know about the existence of hidden families!"

Although these Hidden Families are not much in the eyes of true cultivators, which Hidden Family doesn’t possess internal cultivation methods? For instance, Gan Yinghe himself had cultivated to the pinnacle of mortal cultivation techniques, and one step further would be the realm of a Qi Refining Practitioner.

Because Hidden Families possess cultivation techniques, they tend to look down on common mortals. Even those so-called War Kings are nothing in his presence.

"The Great Elder, we should immediately eliminate that Feng Xiaozhi."

"How can you not use your brains? It’s not difficult for us to kill someone, but we want that ancient city. If we kill them all, how will we take possession of the city? What we need to do now is use means to force them to hand over the city."

"The Great Elder is formidable as always. We will follow your lead."

Gan Yinghe snorted, "We’ve already looked into that Feng Xiaozhi. She is just the general manager of the Xingyuan Investment Company. Regardless of who the mysterious controller behind her is, if we capture her, the person behind will certainly appear."

After thinking, he said to the young man, "Zhiming, bring that woman to me tonight."

"Okay." Gan Zhiming was a practitioner at the level of Dark Force, and he was full of confidence in his own abilities.

Mortal cultivation techniques focus on cultivating Inner Qi, divided into Ming Jin, Dark Force, Hua Jin, and Grandmaster four levels; Gan Yinghe was at the peak of Grandmaster.

While Gan Zhiming was only at the level of Dark Force, reaching this level made him formidable indeed, almost on par with typical War Kings.

"Take two people with you, it’s time everyone got some practice."

After dispatching his men, Gan Yinghe began to observe the ancient city from all around.

With Gan Yinghe’s discernment, he could see the uniqueness of this place. After experiencing it for himself, he was surprised at the excellent environment, which had an effect even on the physical adjustment of people like them.

If the Gan Family could take over this place, they could make a substantial amount of money.

This place must be taken!

Not only the ancient city, but Gan Yinghe also noticed the same air quality at several other areas under construction by Qian Huifang and believed that those places were also equipped with Formations. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

Of course, Gan Yinghe also had another task—to investigate the whereabouts of Dimanxi. If he could capture him, he’d receive a significant reward. Coming here to seize the ancient city was originally just an incidental idea upon seeing this place. Unexpectedly, it seemed like there might be some minor trouble.

As Gan Yinghe and his men were preparing to capture Feng Xiaozhi, Cao Li’s people were secretly surveilling them.

Once Ji Yang was aware of the Gan Family’s arrival, he naturally sent his people out to see what they were up to.

As the surveillance continued, all the movements of the Gan Family’s people fell within Ji Yang’s control.

The people of the Gan Family didn’t really try to hide; in their minds, ordinary mortals couldn’t possibly do anything to them with the power of the Gan Family.

At this time, Ji Yang learned of some of the Gan Family’s situation through a series of phone calls.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yang sat there in contemplation.

The Gan Family was clearly a powerful and influential clan in all respects, with a commercial empire that spanned the globe. Most importantly, they had good relationships with some high-level leaders and were definitely protected.

Ji Yang wasn’t too concerned about those aspects. What interested him most was that the arrival of the Gan Family might have been directed by a cultivating family. In addition to investigating Dimanxi, they likely wanted to take control of places like the ancient city.

Initially, Ji Yang thought if someone tried to take it away, he would simply raise the price and let them have it. Later, after witnessing Xuan Yanwu’s cultivation level, Ji Yang began to suspect that the cultivators might not be as strong as assumed. Thus, he entertained the idea of engaging with these people.

Now that the Gan Family had arrived, he planned to deal with them first and then draw out the cultivators behind them.

Of course, Ji Yang wasn’t about to reveal his identity and fight openly but proceeding covertly was still an option.
