193: Return to the sect
A group of people gathered around the Hua Family, wanting to see what kind of outcome the Hua Family would face today.
At this moment.
The space above everyone's heads was torn open, and Jiang Chen walked out with Hua Xiaoxi.
"Senior, this is my home, and these are my family!"
Hua Xiaoxi pointed down at the Hua Family members tied by the Spirit Sealing Ropes, glaring angrily at the Middle-aged Man guarding them.
"Hiss, tearing space for teleportation, that's an ability only Great Emperor Experts possess. That Little Girl from the Hua Family actually brought back a Great Emperor."
"Oh my god, the Hua Family is actually connected to a Great Emperor Expert. In the future, in this Central Continent, besides those Emperor-level powers, who would dare to touch the Hua Family?"
"It's more than just not daring to touch them; being related to a Great Emperor Expert means the Hua Family's future achievements are destined to be extraordinary."
The onlookers gathered at the entrance.
When they saw Jiang Chen bringing Hua Xiaoxi, tearing space to teleport, they all gasped in astonishment.
Originally, they just treated this Hua Family drama as ordinary gossip.
After all, bullying the weak is commonplace in the cultivation world.
They never expected that an ordinary piece of gossip would turn up a Great Emperor Expert. It was absolutely worth it!
The Chasing Sun City Lord stood outside the crowd, slapping himself in the face with regret.
If he had known that the Hua Family had allied with a Great Emperor Expert, he would have offended the Feng Family a hundred times over to save the Hua Family members, just to make the Hua Family owe him a favor.
A favor from a family allied with a Great Emperor Expert might save his entire family one day.
Inside the Hua Family manor.
Jiang Chen descended with Hua Xiaoxi.
Seeing their figures, over a thousand members of the Hua Family were all filled with pleasant surprise.
They had thought the Hua Family was finished today and had prepared for death. Who knew that Hua Xiaoxi would actually bring back a Great Emperor Expert? It was truly thrilling.
"Se... Senior, a mis... misunderstanding."
Seeing the two descend, the purple-robed Middle-aged Man guarding the Hua Family retreated stammering, his face filled with terror, attempting to activate his cultivation to escape.
However, in front of Jiang Chen, a Great Emperor, he was so scared that he couldn't even gather his spiritual energy, making him unable to fly through the air for a moment.
"Hmph, die!"
Jiang Chen didn't care for formalities. With a cold snort, he unleashed a wave of power towards the purple-robed Middle-aged Man.
"Bang!"
The purple-robed Middle-aged Man, already scared out of his wits, instantly exploded into a mist of blood, splattering across the Hua Family manor.
"Hiss, Great Emperor Experts are terrifying!"
Seeing Jiang Chen instantly kill the Saint Emperor Second Stage Middle-aged Man with a wave of his hand.
The Chasing Sun City Lord and others outside the manor, as well as the Hua Family members inside, all gasped, letting out sounds of horror.
They had heard how formidable Great Emperor Experts were before, but they had never witnessed a true Great Emperor in action.
Now, with Jiang Chen, a living Great Emperor, acting before them, they finally understood that Great Emperor Experts were indeed not just talk.
"Grandpa, Mom, Dad, are you alright?"
Hua Xiaoxi ran towards the white-haired Saint King Seventh Stage elder and a couple who looked to be in their thirties, asking with concern.
Due to the death of the purple-robed Middle-aged Man, the Spirit Sealing Ropes binding the Hua Family members lost their master, so everyone automatically broke free.
"Xi'er, Grandpa is fine."
"Yes, Xiaoxi, Mom and Dad are also not injured."
The three touched Hua Xiaoxi's head, then led all thousand family members to kneel before Jiang Chen, kowtowing and shouting, "Thank you, Great Emperor, for saving our Hua Family. If you have any commands in the future, our Hua Family will certainly obey even if it means death."
Over a thousand people said this while kowtowing vigorously.
Although they knew their promise was worthless in front of Jiang Chen, besides saying so, they had no other way to express their gratitude.
After all, in the eyes of a Great Emperor Expert, everything their Hua Family possessed was insignificant.
"All of you, rise. I came to save you for the sake of this Little Girl; you don't need to remember this kindness." Jiang Chen waved a stream of power, helping the Hua Family members to their feet.
After being helped up, everyone looked at Hua Xiaoxi with envy.
To be valued by a Great Emperor Expert, and for this Great Emperor to specifically act for Hua Xiaoxi, her future prospects are limitless.
Hua Xiaoxi's grandfather walked to her side and instructed her meaningfully, "Xiaoxi, the Great Emperor values you so much, you must serve him well in the future."
Jiang Chen, for the sake of a Earth Venerable Second Stage Little Girl, did not hesitate to condescend to this small city to save people. He must have taken a liking to Hua Xiaoxi.
If Hua Xiaoxi could serve Jiang Chen well, then his entire Hua Family's rise to prominence would be just around the corner.
Hearing Hua Xiaoxi's grandfather's words.
Hua Xiaoxi's parents' faces also filled with smiles.
Their daughter being able to ally with a Great Emperor Expert brought honor to them as well.
"Grandpa, what are you saying? Senior only wants to take me as a disciple of his sect; he doesn't need me to ser... serve him." Hua Xiaoxi explained, her small face flushed red, not forgetting to secretly glance at Jiang Chen when she said the last sentence.
Seeing that Jiang Chen wasn't angry, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid that her grandfather's careless words would anger Jiang Chen; if that happened, the Hua Family would truly be beyond saving today.
"Ah, haha, so that's how it is." Hearing Hua Xiaoxi's explanation, her grandfather awkwardly stroked his white head.
Then he bowed to Jiang Chen and apologized, "Great Emperor, please forgive me, this old man was presumptuous."
Meanwhile, the surrounding family members and Hua Xiaoxi's parents all showed looks of disappointment upon hearing Hua Xiaoxi's explanation.
Although a sect disciple could also be valued by a Great Emperor Expert, it still couldn't compare to a personal maid.
"No matter!"
Jiang Chen waved his hand and said to Hua Xiaoxi, "Little Girl, bid farewell to your family. This Venerable One is taking you back to the sect."
"Yes, Senior!" Hua Xiaoxi agreed, and began to bid farewell to her grandfather and parents.
Hua Xiaoxi's grandfather and parents didn't dare to say much, only instructing Hua Xiaoxi to be obedient after she went to the sect.
Originally, since Jiang Chen saved their entire clan, no matter how insignificant their Hua Family was, they should have hosted a banquet to entertain Jiang Chen.
However, seeing Jiang Chen's eagerness to return to his sect, they dared not try to make him stay.
"Let's go." Seeing Hua Xiaoxi bid farewell, Jiang Chen tore open a space and disappeared from the manor with Hua Xiaoxi.
Upon seeing Jiang Chen and Hua Xiaoxi leave.
The Chasing Sun City Lord and others outside the gate all surged into the Hua Family manor, offering congratulations with smiling faces.
"Oh, Elder Ancestor Hua, congratulations, congratulations! Your Hua Family has produced a fine junior who is so highly valued by a Great Emperor. The Hua Family's rise to prominence is just around the corner!"
"Indeed, Elder Ancestor Hua, I have a son who is of marriageable age. I'd like to have him join your Hua Family. What do you think?"
"And me! I have eight daughters; they can all be sent to the Hua Family as concubines."
"And this old man, this old man can also marry into the Hua Family."
For a time, everyone went from congratulating to wanting to form marriage alliances with the Hua Family.
After all, with a junior valued by a Great Emperor in the Hua Family's future, there were few families in the entire Canglan Continent who would dare to touch them.
If they didn't seize such a good opportunity, they would be too foolish.
Facing so many people who wanted to form marriage alliances with the Hua Family.
Hua Xiaoxi's grandfather had a headache.
Young people forming alliances was one thing, but there were even some old men in their seventies and eighties who wanted to marry into the Hua Family.
He really didn't know who to choose.
