168: Old Chu, you have to consider the overall situation

At this moment, the other members of the Qilin Battle Team also nodded and said, “Boss, we are willing to die for you in this life. You treat us brothers better than our own parents. We truly have nothing more to say.”

“Also, we really want to accompany you to become a legend.”

“Leaving everything else aside, becoming a legend just sounds incredibly cool.”

After everyone finished speaking, Yu Xiu was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled faintly, “Talking so sentimentally, do you all want to kowtow to me too?”

“And you say I’m better than your own parents? Don’t be ridiculous.”

“Your own parents would be willing to die for you, but I wouldn’t.”

Chu Tianjiao interjected, “Boss, don’t jinx it. Quickly, ‘Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey’!”

“If the time ever comes when we brothers need you to die, that’s when our Qilin Battle Team has failed.”

“If it truly comes to that, Boss, you must turn and run.”

“We brothers will be waiting for you to avenge us! Don’t be foolish and get all hot-blooded.”

“As long as you, Boss, are alive, our sons can form a new Qilin Battle Team, and we will still have a chance to rise again.”

Hearing Chu Tianjiao say this, the other members of the Qilin Battle Team also nodded.

“Boss, promise us.”

Yu Xiu smiled, but did not respond to them. If that day truly came, who knew what would happen!

Yu Xiu simply didn’t want to think about it.

Thinking was useless.

“Grandpa Chu!”

Yu Xiu turned to Old Master Chu and said, “I accept your Chu Family’s allegiance.”

Yu Xiu understood Old Master Chu’s concerns.

So he agreed.

As for the prominent Families in the capital, Yu Xiu said, “You are not yet qualified to pledge allegiance to me, but I can give you the opportunity to do so.”

Upon hearing this,

the Wu Family Helmsman looked overjoyed and hastily said, “Master, rest assured, our Wu Family will definitely become your most loyal servants.”

“Master, so will we.”

The helmsmen of the other prominent Families in the capital behind him all chimed in.

“Rise!”

Yu Xiu nodded slightly, then looked at the Li Family Leader.

“Yu, Yu Xiu, what do you want? Don’t act recklessly. I came here under the orders of the Martial Emperor.”

“Don’t mess around.”

Yu Xiu said coldly, “You insulted my people; you must at least give me an explanation.”

“As for that Martial Emperor?”

“Go find him!”

The Li Family Leader was stunned to hear this. “You, you want me to go find the Martial Emperor?”

“Are you deaf?”

The President of Huaxia University snorted, “Yu Xiu told you to go find that old Martial Emperor. Don’t you understand?”

As he said this, the President of Huaxia University’s eyes were filled with excitement.

That was a Martial Emperor!

How honored he would be to witness the death of a Martial Emperor with his own eyes.

“Alright, alright, don’t you regret it.”

The Li Family Leader originally wanted to escape immediately, but thinking about how he had lost so much face just now, fleeing so miserably would be too humiliating.

So he deliberately left a message.

He feigned composure and walked out of the tent.

“Hurry!”

But as soon as he stepped out of the tent, the Li Family Leader immediately took small, quick steps, like an excellent race walker, his speed incredibly fast.

The people around him were momentarily stunned, then quickly jogged to catch up with the Li Family Leader.

At the same time,

just as the Li Family Leader led his people away, four old men walked over.

Speaking of which, two of these old men were acquaintances of Yu Xiu. When Yu Xiu detained the scions of several prominent Families in the capital at the Provincial Training Camp, these two old men had come to negotiate with Yu Xiu.

“Why are you here?”

As the four old men entered the tent, Old Master Chu’s face immediately darkened, and his tone was very unfriendly.

Clearly,

Old Master Chu believed these four people…

“Old Chu, why are you like this?”

The leader of the old men shook his head helplessly and then said, “So many years have passed, and you’re still blaming the higher-ups!”

“You should know in your heart that the higher-ups had no choice but to do what they did back then.”

“At that time, the situation in the No Man’s Land was urgent, and those prominent Families in the No Man’s Land were also involved. Even behind those prominent Families, there were shadows of other countries.”

“It was truly difficult back then…”

Old Master Chu interrupted, “What the hell does it have to do with me? I only know that the higher-ups abandoned me, almost causing the Chu Family to perish.”

“And I could only confine myself to Qin Province, living like a rat.”

At this point, Old Master Chu said with a sneer, “Twenty years ago, when I Broke Through to Martial King, you were still a trash Martial Venerable! Now you’ve even Broken Through to Nine-Star Martial King, and I’m still a Nine-Star Martial King.”

“Now you’re telling me not to dwell on it? Do you really think you have the nerve to say such things?”

“Not just you, even those bastards in the No Man’s Land are not qualified to speak.”

“I just can’t let it go, so what are you going to do about it?”

The leader of the old men said with a serious expression, “Old Chu, watch your words.”

Old Master Chu snorted, “Watch my words, my ass! I’m openly cursing them, those bastards in the No Man’s Land!”

The leading old man snorted and no longer dwelled on the issue. Instead, he said, “I didn’t come here to argue with you this time. The higher-ups gave an order for us to come and handle the matter of that Martial Emperor. The higher-ups said that absolutely no problems can befall Yu Xiu.”

Old Master Chu snorted, “Just you lot? A bunch of trash! Although you’ve Broken Through to Nine-Star Martial King, it was by using a large amount of precious spiritual materials of Venerable-rank and above. But in my eyes, you are ultimately trash.”

“With you lot, I could beat ten of you by myself and remain completely unharmed.”

The leading old man took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. “We indeed cannot make a Martial Emperor wary, but we are acting on the orders of the higher-ups. Even if he is a Martial Emperor, he must be wary of the higher-ups.”

“Of course, to completely ensure Yu Xiu has no worries, we hope Yu Xiu can voluntarily show weakness to that Martial Emperor.”

“Apologize to that Martial Emperor, and then promise that after entering the Qilin Relic, he will not deliberately target the scions of the Secret Realm City.”

Old Master Chu suddenly cursed, “To hell with your apology and showing weakness!”

“The higher-ups told you to ensure Yu Xiu has no problems, and this is how you do it?”

“Does Yu Xiu not care about his reputation?”

“Besides, what did Yu Xiu do wrong? You want Yu Xiu to apologize?”

“You truly have no backbone. You were like this before, and you’re still like this now.”

“A mere Martial Emperor makes you act like this? You are truly shaming China’s Old Ancestor.”

“The reason China is like this now is precisely because of managers like you. You are all useless!”

Old Master Chu trembled with rage, cursing, “I’m putting my words here today. Although I am no match for that Martial Emperor, I can gravely injure him, leaving him unable to recover, if I fight with my life on the line.”

“I dare to fight with my life on the line. Do you think that Martial Emperor dares to fight with his life on the line against me?”

The leading old man’s expression changed, and he sternly said, “Chu Yunzhang, you are just a boor, always ignorant of the bigger picture.”
