Chapter 146 - The Demise and Loot of the Song Clan
With the successful killing of Song Maoxun, the Song Clan was truly done for. While there might be other remnants of the clan at large out there, the last bit of the clan’s foundation had essentially been uprooted.
The remaining members of the clan were hardly considered a threat by that point.
Furthermore, those who managed to run would probably need to live their days in fear from then on out, like a dog who’d lost its master, and there was also the fact that they were being hunted by the Special Task Force to deal with.
Any other force would probably get rid of them on sight as soon as they were found, especially the other clans comprising the Holy Dragon Corporation. All of them would probably eliminate any remnants of the Song Clan without any hesitation.
They were out to gobble up the wealth of the Song Clan whole, and those remnants of the Song Clan posed a huge obstacle to doing so.
While the remnants of the Song Clan were hardly considered a threat to any party by then, the others would not be able to take what once belonged to the Song Clan without first making sure that the remnants were dealt with. Otherwise, they would make themselves look really bad.
Lu Xuan knew all there was to know about how those large cultivation forces worked, so he was not worried about anything at all.
The Taichu Group and many other companies of similar caliber would grieve the loss of that esteemed clan.
In the eyes of many, taking out the Song Clan had done more harm than good.
Lu Xuan had probably made himself enemy number one to many people.
What surprised the cultivators even more, however, was how the Special Task Force became the ones to eventually maintain the peace, as well as the ones who took the heat of any retributive actions the Holy Dragon Corporation might possibly take.
To put it simply, the Big Boss of the Special Task Force summoned the Patriarchs of the clans that comprised the Holy Dragon Corporation and did what he had to with them.
No one knew what kind of deal was made between the clans and the agency, but the Holy Dragon Corporation eventually settled without doing anything rash.
The Special Task Force also allowed the clans comprising the corporation to divide all assets that once belonged to the Song Clan among them.
Before the other cultivation forces had a chance to react, the clans within the corporation were already done dividing the assets among themselves.
The remnants of the Song Clan were, more or less as Lu Xuan had speculated, handled without raising any alarms within the next several days. None of them were ever seen again.
After that, the Song Clan was effectively erased from the world, taken out without a trace.
