“Fools!”
“You all are fools!”
“Looks like power has blinded your eyes!”
Just as the patriarch of the Hao Family, Hao Chuan decided to deploy 100 Death Soldiers to kill Ye Xiao and his protector, an angry voice resounded in the hall that caused every person present here, including Hao Chuan, to tremble in fear.
The next moment, everyone stood up from their seats and looked at the entrance of the hall. They saw an old man entering the hall. Although this was an old man, he did not look weak in the slightest. In fact, he seemed to be much stronger than anyone present in the hall.
Most importantly, the aura exuding from his body was something that only belongs to a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior.
Yes, this old man was a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior… An Early Stage Chaos Spirit Realm warrior.
He also has another identity. He was the previous Grand Elder of the Hao Family. He was also the most powerful and hidden trump card of the Hao Family.
When he got too old and was on the verge of dying, he was still only a Peak Chaos Dust Realm warrior.
He was unwilling to die just like that. His lifelong wish was to become a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior. To complete his dream, he even gave up the seat of the patriarch and kept cultivating. In the end, he became a Peak Chaos Dust Realm warrior and become the Grand Elder of the Hao Family.
When he gave up the post of the family head in the past, his elder brother took that post. His elder brother was also the father of Hao Chuan, the current head of the family.
Coming back to the point, when he was too old and was dying, he was still unwilling. He gave up everything just to complete his dream of becoming a Chaos Dust Realm warrior, but now, he was dying. His dream was still a dream.
Maybe, because of his unwillingness to die and strong will to become a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior, his body triggered its full potential on its own. His lifelong’s potential was stimulated.
Something like that had never happened before. He immediately understood that this is an opportunity. So, he swallowed many pills including vitality pills and pills that could further overdraw the potential of a person’s body for the short success.
It was a pure gamble, but he completely utilized that opportunity and managed to break through and become an Early Stage Chaos Spirit Realm warrior.
The moment he broke through, he succeeded in the gamble and his lifespan also increased by more than a thousand years.
However, because his body’s potential was completely overdrawn, he was destined to never improve again.
At the very least, he managed to fulfill his dream by becoming an Early Stage Chaos Spirit Realm warrior. At the same time, the Hao Family obtained another trump card.
After completing his breakthrough, this old man entered seclusion to consolidate his cultivation. And after that, he never came out.
Today, who knows why this old man suddenly came out of the seclusion?
This old man was Hao Chuan’s uncle, Hao Lufan.
“Un… Grand Elder.”
In the Hao Family, Hao Lufan’s status was above everyone else’s. The moment he entered the hall, although everyone was stunned, they soon came back to their senses and greeted Hao Lufan.
Hao Chuan also greeted and made Hao Lufan sit. Only then did sit back in his seat.
After Hao Lufan sat down, he snorted coldly, “How could you all act like fools?”
“This… Grand Elder, what do you mean?” Han Chuan asked.
Hao Chuan spoke, “I know everything. I heard you all talking. I came here to say not to endanger our family.”
“Grand Elder, could you please tell us what exactly you want to say? We never thought of putting our family in danger at all!”
Although everybody could guess a little, they still wanted to confirm. The Third Elder was the one to speak the above sentence.
“Hmph!” Hao Lufan snorted and said, “If I was not here, the Hao Family might have been destroyed by your foolishness. First of all, think about it. If Ye Xiao really has a Chaos Spirit Realm protector specially allocated for his safety, it means his status in his family must be extremely high. And since that family could dispatch a Chaos Spirit Realm protector, it means his family must be extremely powerful. Maybe, his family already has experts at the Three Stages of Spirit Fusion. And you should know, any force that has experts at the Three Stages of Spirit Fusion are not something we could afford to provoke.”
“Also, think something. Since you all are daring enough to think of killing a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior just because our family has resources and foundation left behind by our ancestor who was also a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior. Then that Ye Xiao’s protector… He himself is a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior. How many treasures he must have in his possession? Also, what is his strength? Is he an Early Stage, Mid Stage, or Late Stage Chaos Spirit Realm warrior? Do any of you investigated this?”
“What will happen if you fail to kill the two of them? At that time, only their revenge will await us. Our family will be destroyed by them at any time, and even I would be unable to do anything against a force that has an expert at the Three Stages of Spirit Fusion.”
“Now, tell me. Isn’t it pure stupidity to against someone like Ye Xiao?”
It could be said that Hao Lufan was really someone who knew how to look at the big picture. Since he could think this way, it shows how capable he really is.
As expected of an elder of the older generation. Their ways of thinking are not something the later generation could understand or think like.
Hao Chuan and everyone else immediately came back to their senses. As if they were electrocuted, their bodies shook and an expression of terror appeared on their faces.
Now that they think about it, what Hao Lufan said seemed to be true. His words made them reflect on their actions and they could not help but lower their heads in embarrassment.
The Third Elder, on the other hand, was the only one who was struggling internally. His son was captured by Ye Xiao and he has no idea what happened afterward.
What would have Ye Xiao done with his son?
What situation his son must be facing right now?
Was Ye Xiao torturing his son? .𝗰𝗼𝗺
There were many questions swarming in his mind.
In the end, he still could not accept the fact that they were not going to attack Ye Xiao. he gritted his teeth and asked, “Grand Elder, then tell us. What should we do? Letting aside the fact that Ye Xiao captured my son, Ye Xiao also killed nine Peak Chaos Dust Realm warriors of our family. He humiliated our family like this and we are going to just sit back and do nothing? How will then our family explain to the family member of those dead experts who sacrificed for the family?”
“Heh…”
Hao Lufan laughed and looked into Third Elder’s eyes. The hall fell in complete silence for a few moments. Finally, Hao Lufan spoke, “Don’t think I don’t know what you are really thinking in your heart. Your words of righteousness are nothing but a facade to make us deploy Death Soldiers and wage war against Ye Xiao and his protector.”
“For a moment, let’s say we really follow your lead. Then what?”
“You could save your son, but for how long? When the force behind Ye Xiao will attack us, at that time, it will not only be your son, but our entire family that will face the crisis. And that crisis will be something that our family could not face with our current strength. The mighty Hao Family of Crystal City will be destroyed at that time.”
The Third Elder fell silent. There was nothing he could say now.
The entire hall also welcomed a minute-long silence.
Hao Lufan spoke again but with meaningful words. He said, “But… It doesn’t mean we will do nothing and just sit back.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up when they heard this.
Hao Chuan hurriedly asked, “Grand Elder, what are we going to do then?”
Hao Lufan took a deep breath and said, “Go, take out a drop of Origin Sea Water. We are going to the Qi Family of Black Gold City?”
“What?” Everyone stood up at the same time. Their bodies trembled as they looked at Hao Lufan with disbelief.
Hao Chuan said in a trembling voice, “Grand Elder, you should know that our ancestor left us with only three drops of Origin Sea Water. You used up one drop during your breakthrough to Chaos Spirit Realm. We have also given Hao Anlong a drop of Origin Sea Water since he is about to break through to Chaos Spirit Realm. Now, our family is left with only one drop of Origin Sea Water. And you are telling us to…”
