That night, after Lu An returned to the housing area, he immediately held a meeting.
He asked Yuan Shaomin to rush to Black Wolf City at the fastest speed without any rest. He also asked Yuan Shaomin to inform Alliance Master Liu that something extremely important had happened. He had to ask Alliance Master Liu to come personally and bring a lot of people with him.
At the same time, Lu An gave another Level 4 Heavenly Master an order. If the other three families came to negotiate, they were to say that he was not around and that they would talk three days later. As for the division of the core area, they could discuss it separately, but they had to wait for his return.
Lu An also gave several orders, including that all the Heavenly Masters were to gather at the periphery of the core area, but they were not to clash with others easily. The mining work in the mining area could be temporarily suspended and everything could be discussed after seven days.
After the meeting, Lu An quickly returned to the core area. He was relieved when he saw that the trap he made outside the deep hole did not show any signs of abnormality. He could not disturb Liu Lan's inheritance. From now on, he had to guard the surrounding forest and kill anyone who wanted to approach or investigate!

Two days later.
Just as Lu An guessed, the other three families sent people to negotiate on the second day. They were persuaded to return by the Blood Symbol Alliance. However, they also followed Lu An's instructions and told them that the original result could be changed. Only then did the other three families feel slightly relieved.
In the afternoon two days later, the sound of horses galloping could be heard outside the Blood Symbol Alliance's housing area. Liu Zhengtang personally arrived with more than ten Level 4 Heavenly Masters. As for Black Wolf City, he handed over the management to Fang Zhangwen.
After Liu Zhengtang entered the housing area, he found out that Lu An had not returned for two days. He could not help but frown. When he asked about Liu Lan, everyone said that they had not seen her for two days. This made him even more shocked.
Could it be that something happened to Lu An and Liu Lan?
Just as Liu Zhengtang was about to send people to search the mountain, someone suddenly shouted from outside, "Alliance Master Lu!"
Everyone in the meeting hall was stunned. They quickly looked outside and saw that Lu An was rushing over. Liu Zhengtang was about to ask Lu An something, but he did not expect Lu An to speak first. He said directly, "Alliance Master, can I have a word with you?"
Liu Zhengtang was stunned. He didn't know what it was that couldn't be said in the meeting hall, but he didn't want to suspect Lu An, so he nodded and the two of them went to a private room.
Lu An had actually calculated that Liu Zhengtang would arrive around this time, so he rushed back from the forest. He told Liu Zhengtang about what he had discovered that night and Liu Lan's current situation. The more Liu Zhengtang listened, the more shocked he became. In the end, he even grabbed Lu An's shoulder!
"Are you serious?!" Liu Zhengtang was so excited that his body was trembling. He asked loudly, "Xiaolan is accepting the inheritance?!"
"That's right." Lu An nodded and said seriously, "Absolutely."
Looking at Lu An's confident expression, Liu Zhengtang widened his eyes, not knowing how to express his excitement. He really didn't expect that his daughter would be fortunate enough to receive the inheritance. This was something that he didn't even dare to dream about!
"Good! Good! Alright! " Liu Zhengtang said 'alright' three times in a row, but it wasn't enough to express his excitement. He laughed loudly. He thought that something bad had happened, but he didn't expect it to be a joyous occasion!
Then, his body trembled as he realized why Lu An had called him over. He quickly asked, "Is Xiaolan protected?"
"Only me." Lu An said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that if there are too many people, it'll attract attention. Also, we weren't strong enough before."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! "Liu Zhengtang immediately shouted.
After that, Liu Zhengtang and Lu An led a large group of people and charged into the core area. This time, there were many people, so the spies from the other three families immediately received the news. However, before the news could be sent back, Liu Zhengtang had already surrounded the entire core area. Lu An told Liu Zhengtang the location of the deep hole. Liu Zhengtang looked at the soil beneath his feet and became even more excited.
He really wanted to go down and see how his daughter would look like when she received the inheritance. He wanted to remember what kind of scene it would be, but he restrained himself in the end. He was also afraid of disturbing her.
He took a deep breath and turned his head to look around. No matter what, even if he had to risk his life, he wouldn't allow anyone to come close! The lowest level of Heavenly Master who could receive the inheritance was a Level 5 Heavenly Master. Even a Level 6 Heavenly Master had a high chance. He wouldn't allow anyone to destroy his daughter's fortune!
Soon, the other three families received the news and brought people to the periphery of the core area. Gao Buhuan from the High Mountain Chamber of Commerce, Yin Liang from the Lide Chamber of Commerce, and Ge Hua from the Yuanzhou Alliance all arrived. When they saw the Blood Symbol Alliance's huge formation, they couldn't help but tremble and take a step forward.
"Is Alliance Master Lu here?" Gao Buhuan shouted, "Please come out and talk!"
After he spoke, the Blood Symbol Alliance's people moved and quickly opened up a path. Lu An appeared in everyone's line of sight, but he was behind someone. The people from the other three families looked at the middle-aged man walking at the front and were shocked.
Who was this person?
Liu Zhengtang walked to the front of the crowd and looked at everyone with disdain. He said coldly, "I am the Blood Symbol Alliance's Alliance Master, Liu Zhengtang. Tell your Alliance Master that the core area of the purple gold mine will be developed by the Blood Symbol Alliance for half a month. After half a month, the core area will be given to you. How much we can develop will be our business, and how much we can leave behind will be your business. If you don't agree, then let them fight with me! "
As soon as these words came out, the bodies of the people from the three forces trembled, and they quickly revealed a look of shock!
Liu Zhengtang!
This person was the Blood Symbol Alliance's Alliance Master, Liu Zhengtang!
They had never seen Liu Zhengtang before, and they didn't expect the Blood Symbol Alliance's Alliance Master to come here personally! But no matter what, they had heard of Liu Zhengtang's fame. They had no power to resist this person. If they argued with these people now, they would be seeking death!
"So it's Alliance Master Liu. Sorry for the lack of manners." Gao Buhuan and the other two quickly bowed and smiled apologetically. However, after thinking for a while, they asked, "Is Alliance Master Liu's words true? Only half a month?"
"Impudent! Do I need you to doubt my words?!" Liu Zhengtang shouted angrily. Gao Buhuan was so scared that his legs went soft.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!" Gao Buhuan quickly said.
"Then why aren't you taking your people and scramming?" Liu Zhengtang shouted.
"Yes, yes, yes. We'll leave now …"
Very quickly, the people from the other three families quickly left. This was the result of being suppressed in terms of cultivation. Every difference in cultivation was like the difference between heaven and earth. Not everyone was like Lu An, who could fight above his cultivation level.
As for Liu Zhengtang's excuse, it was discussed by the two of them. Half a month wasn't too long, nor was it too short. It wasn't too hard to accept. After all, mining the purple gold mine wasn't something that could be finished in half a month. Even the purple gold mine in the outer area had been mined for a whole month, and not much had been mined. If they really left in half a month, then the other three families would definitely benefit.
However, even so, it was still suspicious. After all, Liu Zhengtang suddenly came, and only wanted to stay in the core region for half a month. This was already very strange. Now, it was time to see the reactions of the other three families. Would they let Liu Zhengtang stay here for half a month to take advantage of the situation and not offend the Blood Symbol Alliance? Or would they let their curiosity get the best of them?
Once a conflict like this happened, no matter who won or lost, the result would be very tragic. Liu Zhengtang wouldn't back down. It was just a matter of whether the other party had the guts to do so. In other words, the Blood Symbol Alliance still had a high chance of surviving.
Moreover, now it was time to see how long Liu Lan would take to receive the inheritance. Two days had already passed. If it could end earlier, things would be much simpler.
Thinking of this, Lu An turned to look at Liu Zhengtang. He saw Liu Zhengtang sitting beside the entrance of the deep cave, resting with his eyes closed. The surrounding Heavenly Masters all sat down. They had a confused look on their faces. They didn't know what so many people were doing here. If they weren't allowed to mine, they could only sit there quietly.
Lu An took a deep breath. Other than waiting, there was nothing else he could do.
