Chapter 95

Xiao Yuqing, with her big eyes blinking, looked up at her brother Hero, who was trying hard not to show off. Her little mouth was covered, knowing she couldn't speak recklessly, so she wriggled her small body, using body language to tell her brother: What's wrong with Grandpa? Are those big bad guys going to bully Grandpa?

Hero was afraid that the situation outside would scare this little one, so he didn't let her see.

Hero, sensing something, immediately retracted the tendrils he had used to loot the body of Xuanyuan Ming, as his father had come to collect the body.

Xuanyuan Shan stood before his youngest son's corpse, his expression somewhat dazed. He couldn't understand why his beloved youngest son would die so miserably. Suddenly, he felt something was odd. He had given his youngest son a high-capacity storage ring on his tenth birthday, and this son had also acquired a set of super soldier equipment during his battles. Now, he was left with only a fine set of clothes! Not even a decent weapon. Could he have come to the Hua family so bare?

Xuanyuan Shan could only turn and glare at Dragon Emperor: To kill and loot a junior, how despicable.

Who would have thought his son's death was also due to Hero.

The entire Hua family becoming ruins also had Hero's contribution. Hero hadn't expected that diverting the disaster would lead to this outcome. Now that it had happened, regret and guilt were useless. Moreover, he had little interaction with these collateral branches. They were dead, and they were killed by Dragon Emperor, so he could only sigh at their bad luck.

What a ridiculous situation.

Hero had seen how a figure like Dragon Emperor, a major player, treated life with such contempt, and how ruthless he was.

Hero retracted all the tendrils he had sent out to loot the dead.

With the death of a junior in the Xuanyuan family, the few elders who came had their reasons and excuses.

Xuanyuan Ling glanced at the corpse in Xuanyuan Shan's hands and said to Dragon Emperor: "We also detected that this collateral branch of the Hua family harbored ill intentions, hiding prohibited items in a city of ordinary people. We came to clean up the family."

When Xuanyuan Ling said this, the onlookers outside were stunned. Some couldn't help but mutter: What a shameless excuse. One is enforcing the will of heaven, the other is cleaning up the family! If you say it like that, do we even have a reason to exist?

Indeed, Dragon Emperor and Xuanyuan Ling reached some kind of understanding, looking around at the crowd. Their intentions were clear.

Dragon Emperor was the old patriarch of the Long family and also an outer elder of another ancient clan, the Jiang clan. The Long family originated from the Jiang clan.

Some people felt uncomfortable and muttered: Two of the twelve ancient clans have come out, what are we supposed to do now?

At that moment, a thin old man stepped out from the crowd, stepping into the air above the ruins of the Hua family, and said: "Why should only you enforce family law? I am also here to enforce the will of heaven, to eliminate evil and protect the righteous!"

Hero, hiding behind the rubble, was stunned: Damn, this guy has even thicker skin! Just by saying that, he turned the Hua family into evil.

After the thin old man stepped out, more people joined in to divide the spoils of the Hua family, but among them, only the thin old man had reached the level of a super soldier general. The rest were at most level ten super soldiers!

A super soldier needs to pass the first 'Dao Tribulation' to become a super soldier general.

Most super soldiers stop at level ten and dare not take another step forward, as the majority of them are reduced to ashes in this tribulation.

Hua Lao laughed out loud. He could imagine the immense pressure that would come with standing up for the Hua family. He thought he could negotiate with the various parties to gain some compensation for the Hua family. But he didn't expect this outcome.

He now understood one thing: whether he handed over or not, these people had reasons to take down the Hua family.

Looking at these ugly faces, the anger in Hua Lao's heart gradually subsided. What had to happen had already happened. The dead cannot be brought back to life; he could only protect those who were still alive.

The surviving collateral branches of the Hua family all glared at Dragon Emperor with intense hatred. Gradually, they began to gather around Hua Lao, the old patriarch, placing their hopes for revenge on him. Hua Lao squinted his eyes, glanced at Dragon Emperor, and said to the surviving Hua family members: "We are one family. I will avenge those who have died, even if it means shedding every drop of my blood!"

Hearing the old patriarch's promise, everyone's eyes were filled with hope.

Dragon Emperor and the others had already discussed how to pry open Hua Lao's mouth, find the location of the Chaotic Broken Stele, and then divide the spoils based on their abilities.

If the stele were found, the division of the spoils would not include these cannon fodder. The big figures behind them would naturally take action. Dragon Emperor had taken the lead, and the one who would be pushed to the front would be Dragon Emperor.

Dragon Emperor glanced at Hua Lao and said: "From your expression, I can tell that you won't answer honestly now." He then looked down at the surviving collateral branches of the Hua family and said coldly: "I give you two choices. One, if you want to live, make your old patriarch tell us where the Chaotic Broken Stele is hidden. Two, die with him!"

Hero, hiding behind the rubble, almost stumbled, cursing in his heart: What a vicious move!

Indeed, all the surviving collateral branches of the Hua family looked at Hua Lao with strange expressions.

A loud noise came from nearby. A dark-skinned man pushed away the debris on top of him and helped the woman he was protecting to stand up.

The woman, after brushing off the dust, looked up at Dragon Emperor in the sky with great joy and said flatteringly: "Grandpa, you finally came. Please help the Hua family."

This woman either selectively forgot or hadn't yet understood the situation.

Dragon Emperor coldly snorted: "Black Slave, bring the young lady over. If she gets hurt during the fight, it will be your fault."

Hua Lao knew Black Slave. He, like Hero's mother, had come with Long Zhaor. He had been secretly protecting Long Zhaor and had reached the level of a super mage.

Upon hearing this, Black Slave released a flying disc with an air-floating pattern at the bottom, intending to take Long Zhaor away from the ruins of the Hua family. However, Long Zhaor angrily slapped his hand away and said: "Get lost, you slave. If you dare touch me, I'll have my husband castrate you."

Black Slave was slapped to the side, which made Dragon Emperor frown, seemingly sensing something. Long Zhaor then turned her anger into a smile, looking up at her grandfather and pointing at the sky full of super soldiers, saying: "Grandpa, my family must have been attacked by these people. For the sake of your most beloved granddaughter, please help my lord drive them away."

Seeing Long Zhaor's pleading face, Dragon Emperor felt that she was not the granddaughter he once doted on, but a repulsive tail-wagging dog. However, considering family ties, he still coldly looked down and said: "I'll ask you one more time, will you come to my side?"
