166: We are willing to be your most loyal servants

"Yu, Yu Xiu?"

The Helmsmen of another group of influential Families in the Capital instantly paled upon seeing Yu Xiu arrive, instinctively feeling the urge to flee.

But then they reconsidered, now that they had a Martial Emperor backing them, and Yu Xiu was merely a Martial King, what was there to fear?

"Yu Xiu, have you come to meddle in our affairs?"

The leader of the influential Capital Family was surnamed Li. His Family, the Li Family, was previously a top influential Family, just like the Wu Family.

Southern Wu, Northern Li!

The Wu Family was the largest in the southern part of the Capital, and the Li Family was the largest in the northern part of the Capital.

As for the western part of the Capital, it was a commoner concentrated area, where almost all commoners in the Capital resided.

The eastern part was the territory of China's administrators, including the Capital Military Region, which was located on the outskirts of the eastern part. The headquarters of some secret departments were also concentrated in that area.

"The Wu Family betrayed our Capital influential Family Alliance. This is our Family matter."

The Li Family Leader seemed still somewhat worried that Yu Xiu would act, subconsciously retreating several steps, his voice clearly lacking confidence.

"Mr. Yu, our Wu Family is willing to become your vassal Family, serving you for all eternity as your most loyal servants."

The Wu Family Helmsman immediately knelt on both knees.

This action stunned the group of Wu Family Disciples behind him.

They never expected their elders to do such a thing.

Kneeling before a young man of similar age, even if this young man was very powerful, it shouldn't warrant kneeling on both knees!

They were, after all, the top influential Family in the Capital. Even if they chose to pledge allegiance, it shouldn't be with such a humble attitude.

This left them bewildered.

However.

The Wu Family Helmsman didn't think that way.

He realized now.

This group from the Li Family clearly intended to use the prestige of the Martial Emperor from Western Secret Realm City to annex the Wu Family.

Originally, he thought that no matter what, the Li Family wouldn't be so resolute in their actions.

After all, the two Families were connected by marriage.

There were at least a dozen children from the two Families who were related by marriage.

Now it seemed.

He had overestimated the Li Family; they seemed to have harbored ulterior motives from beginning to end.

"Mr. Yu, please accept."

The Wu Family Helmsman saw no response from Yu Xiu and suddenly slammed his head to the ground. His originally fair forehead now showed streaks of blood, and in the blink of an eye, blood appeared in patches, with some trickling down his face.

Seeing this scene.

The other influential Families in the Capital around the Wu Family Helmsman also showed expressions of struggle.

Clearly, they were also conflicted, but they weren't as decisive as the Wu Family Helmsman.

They couldn't let go of the glory of the Capital and their high status.

Once they became Yu Xiu's servants, their Families would also be controlled by others.

But if they didn't pledge allegiance, the people from the Li Family were aggressive, intent on annexing their Families.

They were caught between a rock and a hard place.

"Mr. Yu, our He Family is also willing to become your affiliated Family, becoming your most loyal servants."

At this moment, a middle-aged man standing in the back row of the crowd also pushed his way through, came before Yu Xiu, and knelt down.

At this moment!

The previously hesitant influential Family Helmsmen also made up their minds.

They comforted themselves in their hearts.

Yu Xiu was already a Martial Emperor, and so young. His future achievements might even surpass Martial Saints and Martial Gods.

If that happened, their status as servants would also be very high.

Not just in Western Secret Realm City, but even in the deeper No Mans Land, these affiliated Families could also have status.

As the saying goes, 'Even a doorkeeper of a Prime Minister is a third-rank official.'

They would be these third-rank officials.

If Yu Xiu could become a Martial God in the future, occupy a domain, and become the Lord of that domain, then they would be subordinates of an emperor.

The more they thought this way, their previous worries and reluctance gradually turned into excitement.

"Mr. Yu, we are also willing to become your affiliated Family, becoming your most loyal servants."

At this moment, all the Helmsmen of these influential Families knelt on the ground.

Only the Disciples of the influential Families behind them remained, looking incredibly surprised.

However, some Family Disciples had thoughtful expressions, occasionally glancing at the Li Family and occasionally at Yu Xiu's direction.

Clearly, they had already guessed why their Family elders were doing this.

"Hmph, do you think by pledging allegiance to Yu Xiu, your Families will survive?"

At this moment, the Li Family Leader snorted coldly, "Yu Xiu is indeed powerful, possessing the strength of a Martial King, but we have a Martial Emperor. Do you really think a Martial King can defeat a Martial Emperor?"

"Although Yu Xiu has the ability to fight above his rank, can he really defeat a Martial Emperor?"

At this moment, Old Master Chu moved slightly, clearly about to speak, but the Li Family Leader suddenly retreated sharply, shouting sternly, "Yu Xiu, what are you trying to do?"

As soon as these words were uttered.

Everyone present was stunned.

Including Yu Xiu.

He hadn't even moved!

"Hahaha, this is the Helmsman of a top influential Family in the Capital, timid as a mouse."

The President of Huaxia University laughed loudly, pointing at the Li Family Leader with a face full of mockery.

At this moment, the Li Family Leader also looked embarrassed. Ever since Yu Xiu arrived, he had been trying to act calm.

Although he was speaking to the Wu Family Helmsman, his peripheral vision had always been focused on Yu Xiu's movements.

It was precisely because of this that when Old Master Chu moved slightly, the Li Family Leader reacted so suddenly.

He thought Yu Xiu was about to act.

"We have a Martial Emperor behind us. I came here today on the Martial Emperor's orders to make the Wu Family submit."

"The Wu Family also has a main branch in Western Secret Realm City, and the Wu Family in Secret Realm City also has a Martial Emperor."

"Do you know what the consequences are if you defy the Martial Emperor's orders?"

The Li Family Leader said sternly, "As long as the Martial Emperor lifts a finger, all of you will instantly turn to ash."

"Do you understand?"

When the Li Family Leader issued his warning, the Wu Family Helmsman and the kneeling influential Family Helmsmen beside him all looked disdainful.

Because they knew that Yu Xiu was also a Martial Emperor, and one who could destroy a Martial Emperor's power-testing instrument with a single sword strike.

Furthermore, Yu Xiu had once entered the Qiusuo Realm, where he obtained Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques, and even possessed the ability to fight above his rank.

Not only that, Yu Xiu himself possessed multiple Talents.

Once all these were combined, how powerful would Yu Xiu's combat strength be?

This was also the reason and confidence for the Wu Family Helmsman to willingly become Yu Xiu's servant.

In times of peace, power and money are the confidence of a person, and even a Family.

But in the Martial Dao era, combat strength is the confidence of a person and a Family.

Yu Xiu was the embodiment of super high strength and super strong combat power.
