Chapter 965: If My Family Dies, I Will Not Live Alone

“Do you want the 1500 million geniuses to join the battle?” Ye Xiu asked.

“Of course, I do!”

Long Qian answered without a second thought, saying:

“But I don’t want the 1500 million geniuses to help the Three Major Adjudicator Families. I want them to take up arms and annihilate the Three Major Adjudicator Families.”

Ye Xiu’s eyes lit up. This Long Qian was indeed a fervent opponent of the Three Major Adjudicator Families.

He sighed and said:

“For generations, they’ve been enslaved and humiliated by the Three Major Adjudicator Families. Inferior instincts and deep fear of the Three Major Adjudicator Families have long been rooted in their bones. They absolutely wouldn’t dare to take up arms against the Three Major Adjudicator Families.”

“Ximen Lord, you are absolutely right!”

Long Qian seemed to have found a soulmate, saying:

“I brought you here because I see that you’re clever and resourceful, and I wanted you to help persuade them to join the battle.”

Ye Xiu was stunned. So Long Qian brought him here with a purpose.

This was definitely something he couldn’t ask for.

“I can help you.”

Ye Xiu thought for a moment and said:

“But before that, let me ask you a question, if I may.”

“Go ahead!” Long Qian nodded.

Ye Xiu hesitated for a moment and asked:

“Did you join the Dragon King’s Palace to destroy the Three Major Adjudicator Families and wipe away the disgrace they have brought to you and your ancestors?”

Upon hearing this, Long Qian’s pupils suddenly contracted, his gaze became sharp, and he coldly said:

“Ximen Lord, are you trying to sow discord between me and the Hall Master?”

“Haha, I’m just curious and asked casually, don’t overthink it, haha…”

Ye Xiu laughed awkwardly. He found that although Long Qian wasn’t very bright and was sometimes a bit naive, he was extremely cautious.

In fact, he asked this question to test if he could turn Long Qian against them.

Unfortunately, it seemed that Long Qian hadn’t considered him an ally yet and was wary of him, not daring to reveal the truth.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to meet the pro-war faction first.”

Long Qian said expressionlessly, suddenly becoming much cooler towards Ye Xiu, and without concealing it.

Ye Xiu didn’t mind and followed Long Qian into the forest where the geniuses resided.

“My real name is Chen Yuxin, and my apparent strength is that of the Fourth Realm War God. Nobody here knows that I’m with the Dragon King’s Palace, so make sure not to slip up.” Long Qian reminded.

“Alright!” Ye Xiu nodded.

The two continued deeper into the forest. Along the way, Ye Xiu was surprised to find that everyone they encountered glared at Long Qian with anger, and some even spat at him, cursing loudly.

Long Qian ignored it and didn’t get angry, but explained:

“They all think I’m still working for the Three Major Adjudicator Families. They look down on me and call me degenerate and naturally despicable.”

Ye Xiu didn’t respond, but there was an imperceptible cold smile on his lips. From this alone, it was clear that the 1500 million geniuses actually harbored deep resentment towards the Three Major Adjudicator Families.

They simply lacked the courage and determination to resist and fight back.

It was now nighttime!

The forest was exceedingly dark!

As they walked deeper into the forest, Ye Xiu suddenly heard the sounds of fighting.

“Something’s wrong!”

Long Qian’s face suddenly changed, and she immediately ran towards the source of the fighting.

Ye Xiu hurriedly followed!

Soon, they saw a large crowd wielding swords and knives, forming a massive encirclement ahead.

And the sounds of fighting came from within the circle.

“What’s happening?”

Long Qian asked a young man on the outer perimeter of the circle.

“Chen Yuxin?”

The young man’s face changed when he saw Long Qian and shouted:

“Chen Yuxin is back!”

Wow!

Immediately, dozens of people ran over and surrounded Ye Xiu and Long Qian.

“Chen Yuxin, you’ve come back just in time to save us the trouble of finding you.” The young man said coldly.

Long Qian frowned: “What do you mean by that?”

“It means you should die, kill her!”

The young man was unwilling to say more, and thrust his sword towards Long Qian.

At the same time, the others surrounding Ye Xiu and Long Qian also made their moves.

Ye Xiu and Long Qian still didn’t understand what was happening, but they had no choice but to act.

But before they could make a move, a booming voice suddenly came:

“Let’s see who dares to harm a hair on my daughter’s head.”

As soon as the voice fell, a middle-aged man appeared, waving his hand and sending the young man and others flying with a gust of wind.

Then he grabbed Ye Xiu and Long Qian by the shoulders and ran!

“Dad, where are you taking us? What happened, and why do they want to kill me?”

Long Qian asked anxiously.

Ye Xiu finally understood that this middle-aged man was Long Qian’s father, ‘Chen Xuan’.

“Your sister has been kidnapped by Lin Lei. Lin Lei left a note demanding that our family surrender to him, otherwise he will dismember your sister. Your great-grandfather decided to take the Chen family to rescue Chen Yuqing, but was stopped by the Elders.”

As Chen Xuan ran frantically with Ye Xiu and Long Qian in tow, he said furiously:

“Our Chen family is finished, but Yuxin, you cannot die. I will take you out of this forest, and you must hide your identity and hide.”

Ye Xiu was speechless after hearing this. The Eternal Kingdom’s King, Lin Lei, had resorted to such vile tactics, even resorting to kidnapping.

“Lin Lei, that bastard, is looking for death! How dare he kidnap Yuqing, I must kill him!”

Long Qian said through gritted teeth, asking:

“It was natural and necessary for great-grandfather to lead our family to rescue Chen Yuqing. Why did the Elders stop him?”

Before Chen Xuan could answer, Ye Xiu said:

“The answer is obvious. Lin Lei kidnapped Chen Yuqing to force the Chen family to surrender to him, intending to leverage the Chen family’s strength against the Three Major Adjudicator Families and the Demon Clan.”

“The Elders are worried that instead of rescuing her, the Chen family will end up joining Lin Lei, causing the Three Major Adjudicator Families and the Demon Clan to mistakenly believe that all the geniuses have defected to Lin Lei, prompting them to deploy troops and annihilate the geniuses in their anger.”

“So the Elders thought of eliminating the Chen family to avoid being implicated by them.”

As he spoke, Ye Xiu truly felt a degree of contempt for the geniuses, so timid and afraid of trouble.

But Chen Xuan, upon hearing this, shot Ye Xiu a surprised glance and asked:

“Who are you? How do you know this?”

Long Qian introduced, “His name is Lord Ximen, he’s my friend, very smart, he deduced everything he’s said.”

This left Chen Xuan even more astonished. He’d never seen his daughter praise any man, nor had he ever seen her bring a man home.

He took another look at Ye Xiu, thinking his daughter’s taste was rather peculiar, for her to take a liking to such an unattractive person.

It seemed that this young man named Lord Ximen was quite skilled in wooing women.

He said:

“Lord Ximen, I’m entrusting Yuxin to you. You must protect her, understand?”

Meaning that he, as the father-in-law, was giving his approval for him and his daughter, but after the Chen family was destroyed, he must take care of his daughter.

“From what you’re saying, after sending us out of the forest, you plan to come back?” Ye Xiu asked.

Chen Xuan nodded, “Over three hundred members of the Chen family are in a bloody battle. I can’t live on my own. Even if I die, I will die with them.”

Ye Xiu nodded silently, this person was admirable; he immediately broke free from Chen Xuan’s grip, stopping, and said:

“We don’t need to run.”

Seeing this, Long Qian also freed herself from Chen Xuan’s grip and stopped, saying:

“Dad, I’m not running. If all the Chen family members die, what’s the point of me living alone?”
