Zhou Xuan finished speaking and took Ling'er to cultivate within the ring.
In the great hall of the Baili family, three middle-aged men stood with solemn expressions, their gazes flickering.
"Father, you know the strength of the Baili family. If they truly wanted to annex us, they would have dealt with us long ago. How could they still give us this opportunity?"
Old Master Baili Yuntian pondered for a moment and said, "Moreover, this is our last chance. We have to gamble. If we win, we have a chance to turn things around. If we lose, we have nothing."
"Our Baili family has too few assets. We are not yet at the level the Master desires."
"The Sun family's assets are spread across the entire Eastern Region Continent, and they are all in the most prosperous locations. The Qin family cannot possibly annex them. As long as the Sun family doesn't ostracize us, the Qin family wouldn't dare to make a move."
"Father, don't forget, it's not easy for the Baili family to survive in the cracks of the capital. If something happens to us, the entire family will face annihilation!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Baili Yuntian's expression turned grim. He also felt that this gamble was extremely risky.
However, the Baili family was cornered. They had to gamble, even if they might lose.
Because they knew this was their only chance.
Rather than waiting to die, if the Qin family discovered their intentions, they would completely lose their chance to turn things around and would be reduced to prisoners.
The skies of the capital were slowly beginning to change.
It had only been half a month since Zhou Xuan came from Cangyun to stir up trouble.
The Qin family.
Qin Huaiyu, with a cold face, watched the people she sent to invite someone return to report.
"Eldest Miss, Zhou Xuan said he cannot save people whose meridians are completely crippled and advised us to seek someone else."
"Only half a month... Fine, let him flaunt himself for now!"
Qin Huaiyu gritted her teeth.
Zhou Xuan's words not only insulted her but also insulted the Qin family. How could she let that little beast go?
"Send people to find him. I don't believe he has three heads and six arms!"
"Yes."
Qin Huaiyu looked at Qin Qingya beside her. "Did that little bastard offend you? Why aren't you out today? Why are you following me?"
Qin Qingya lowered her head and said, "My condition is becoming more complicated. Eldest Sister, please invite Zhou Xuan for me. If it's delayed any longer, I will die!"
She felt that in addition to lack of sleep, fear, pain, and tinnitus, her skin felt like it was burning, and she could barely breathe.
Yet, not a single person could cure her!
Qin Huaiyu frowned and said, "That little bastard, I don't know how he cultivates, but he gets stronger the more he's beaten."
"Can you really not bear it any longer?"
"Yes, Eldest Sister, I beg you!"
Qin Huaiyu narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Wait for the opportunity."
Qin Huaiyu knew that the Qin family's crisis was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Zhou Xuan was on good terms with the Fang family.
They had successfully won over the Baili family and the Sun family. Although they hadn't officially cooperated with the Sun family yet, an agreement had been reached between the two parties: once they succeeded, the Baili family would support them, and the Sun family would be brought into their camp.
Their side needed to wait for an opportunity, and the Qin family was not to be outdone, preparing to wait for an opportunity to eliminate the Baili family in one fell swoop.
The servant who delivered the reply said tremblingly, "Eldest Miss, this is Zhou Xuan's doing. If he doesn't come to save them, I'm afraid our chosen experts won't last a day."
Qin Qingya added fuel to the fire, saying, "Eldest Sister, you don't know how hateful this Zhou Xuan is."
"Not only did he insult me, but he also said that the Qin family is nothing and will eventually make us suffer."
"Hmph! What a big boast!"
Qin Huaiyu angrily slammed the table and stood up.
"Is this person insulting our Qin family?"
Her eyes narrowed, her gaze terrifyingly cold. "Immediately assemble all our forces. Tonight, I will make sure Zhou Xuan has nowhere to be buried!"
"Yes!"
"Issue an order that tomorrow morning, the Qin Guard will be dispatched to capture that arrogant brat!"
...
Zhou Xuan was unaware that Qin Huaiyu had already listed him as a target to be killed.
He had been diligently cultivating these past few days.
Zhou Xuan cultivated in the ring for three days and finally opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he felt his body filled with immense power, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Qin Huaiyu had her own ambitions.
She wanted to take this opportunity to extinguish the arrogance of the other four families. What she wanted was for them to be obedient and not dare to offend. Once Zhou Xuan's people were gone, those guys would definitely seize the opportunity to annex the Baili family.
And at this time, she could take advantage of the chaos to absorb the entire Baili family, and at the same time warn those who were restless and wanted to join forces against the Qin family.
At that time, the powers in the entire capital would temporarily be under her control!
Just as the Baili Manor was quickly repaired.
The Qin Guard had already surrounded it tightly early in the morning.
"Baili Yuntian, tell Zhou Xuan to get out here!"
"If you still don't know what's good for you, I think it's best to burn this newly repaired manor down!"
At this moment, Zhou Xuan was visiting Elder Huang Youwei.
He was accompanied by the Lu siblings and had no idea that the Baili family was once again facing an attack from the Qin family.
Baili Yuntian and his two grandsons had not fully recovered from their injuries, and their faces were pale.
A severe shortage of experts!
They weren't suffering from a fear of talent; they genuinely had no talent!
But even so, they had to brace themselves and come out to face the battle.
However, when Baili Yuntian saw the dense Qin Guard, they all froze.
Had the Qin family discovered the reason for the sudden deaths of those dozen or so cultivation experts?
"You've provoked us time and again, do you really think our Baili family is a coward?"
Someone stepped out from the Qin Guard. It was the third young master of the Qin family.
Qin Chao smiled coldly. "To blame, blame you for choosing the wrong side!"
"As long as your Baili family hands over Zhou Xuan and stops cooperating with him, I can spare you once."
"Such a large manor, if it's burned down again, it won't be able to be pieced back together. It's a real shame to think about it."
"You! You're going too far!"
"Do you really think the Qin family can cover the sky with one hand?"
"Can they? You'll know if you try!" Qin Chao stared coldly at Baili Yuntian.
"Old man, I advise you to be sensible. Surrender obediently while I'm still in a good mood."
"Zhou Xuan isn't here. If you ask us to hand him over, how can we?"
Baili Lie glared at Qin Chao.
"Not here?"
"Then that's perfect, let's burn it down first! I don't believe he won't come out!"
"Who dares!"
A fierce roar echoed, and the intense pressure made all the Qin Guards present feel immense pressure.
It was Zhou Xuan who had returned.
Qin Chao smiled sinisterly!
"Hmph, Zhou Xuan, you came at the right time! You choose the path of hell when heaven's gate is open! I'd like to see where you can run today!"
