Rebirth of Devouring Dragon Emperor

Chapter 124: Inside the Chu Family
The Chu family’s base camp is in Suhuai City, next to Sunan City. It is not close to Sunan City, but it is not far away either.

They were not in the city, but in the mountains some distance away from the city, like a secluded mountain village, isolated from any disturbance.

This is also the case for most Chinese martial arts families.

The world is too noisy, and the bright lights and debauchery have a very corrosive effect on people's hearts, especially for impetuous young people.

Therefore, most of them would place their family base in sparsely populated mountains.

A quiet place is conducive to spiritual practice.

It is also conducive to management.

In the mountains, you can set up a mountain protection formation and arrange family members to guard the periphery, but in a downtown area, these things are difficult to do.

Of course, not all families are like this.

There are also some families that choose to place their base camp in a busy city, because there are many ordinary people and generally there will be no enemies to attack.

After all, practitioners cannot cause trouble too openly in front of ordinary people.

After all, the country is the biggest and stability is above all else.

Practitioners can fight each other to the death in private, but anyone who dares to be too presumptuous in public will definitely be punished.

In short, both entering the world and avoiding it have their pros and cons.

The Chu family is one of the reclusive families.

Their base camp is in a valley.

The valley is quiet, the scenery is pleasant, the pace of life is slow, and time is leisurely.

But at this moment, the valley was no longer as peaceful as before.

The originally pleasant environment was now in a state of disarray, with fallen trees, broken flowers, collapsed buildings, and a tense and solemn atmosphere lingering over the valley.

In the hall of the central building, more than ten people gathered together with solemn expressions.

They all had tired faces, bloodshot eyes, listless expressions, and were obviously in very bad condition.

"Master, what should we do now?"

One of them looked at the middle-aged man in the middle and said in a deep voice: "The Song family and the Sun family are coming aggressively this time, and their offensive has not stopped. Obviously there is no room for negotiation. Can we just sit there and do nothing?"

“What else can we do?”

The middle-aged man did not speak. An old man beside him spoke in a deep voice: "The other party obviously has no intention of negotiating with us. With so many people coming together, it is obvious that they want to put our Chu family to death!"

"They are so deceptive!"

Someone angrily said: "Besides, the excuses they made are so lame that they don't even consider any rationality!"

"They actually said that four of their ancestors died at the hands of the immortals? Such an excuse is simply ridiculous!"

"Although Xiaoxian has good talent, he is not yet a genius. When he left home a few days ago, he was only at the ninth level of the acquired realm. Could it be that he has been promoted to the innate realm in just a few days?"

"Even if he is promoted to Xiantian, how can he be a match for other veteran Xiantian?"

"According to what they said, the Song family lost a mid-stage Xiantian warrior and two early-stage Xiantian warriors, and the Sun family lost a mid-stage Xiantian warrior. The combined strength of these four people is not inferior to that of ordinary families. How could they die at the hands of Xiaoxian?"

"It is well known how difficult it is to kill innate masters. If you want to kill all four of them, you must have at least the strength of a grandmaster, and you may not be able to kill them all. Could it be that Xiaoxian is already a grandmaster?"

"These two companies are simply going too far!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and in the end, he couldn't help but pound the ground with his fist.

But in the end, he still looked depressed and his whole body was listless.

Even if the excuses given by the two families are so ridiculous, so what?
They still have no solution.

The enemy's strength far exceeds theirs, and they have no right to fight back!

They can only be like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others!
"Xiaoxian would never kill those four people, so this is just an excuse."

The middle-aged man finally spoke, and he said in a deep voice: "The purpose of these two families is self-evident. They must have set their sights on the resources of our Chu family, and we don't have enough strength to defend them, so they picked us to bully."

"The ancestor of the Song family is extremely powerful and terrifying. The Great Elder, who is a Grand Master, is not even a match for him. From this point of view, his realm is at least at the peak of the late Xiantian stage."

"Even...higher!"

Everyone turned pale when they heard this.

A feeling of despair gradually spread.

There was numbness in their eyes and no hope.

Such a strong man, the strongest combat force of their Chu family, couldn't withstand a single move from him. What could they use to stop him?

"The Song family is about to announce their rise."

An old man said in a deep voice: "They invaded our Chu family on a large scale. In addition to coveting our Chu family's resources, they are also announcing to other forces that they are no longer the same as before!"

"We have become their target for establishing their authority!"

Anger rose on the faces of the group of people.

No one likes to be such a character, but at this point, they are powerless to do anything about it.

Now, it is just a dying struggle. "The mountain protection formation will not last long, at most half a day, before dark, the formation will be broken!"

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "All we can do is to try our best to send the younger generation of the family out in this short period of time to preserve the flame for our Chu family."

"As long as there is fire, there is hope!"

"We must prepare ourselves. When the formation is broken, we will fight them to the death and buy as much time as possible for the others!"

"Even if the Chu family dies, we can't just do whatever we want. We'll bite off a piece of their flesh!"

The man said this with a somewhat grim look on his face.

"Yes, let's fight them to the death. Even if we die, we won't let them have an easy time!"

"One for one is no loss, one for two is a huge profit!"

"My Chu family will never let them take the benefits for nothing!"

"I will fight to the death!"

A group of people responded.

Their eyes were red, their faces were ferocious, and they were all determined to die.

"Master, Master, it's not good!"

Someone rushed in, looking pale and panic-stricken.

"what happened?"

Looking at the blood-stained man, the middle-aged man's face turned cold and he asked in a deep voice.

"Master, the tunnel is blocked. We can't get out!"

The visitor reported in a tearful voice: "The Third Elder withstood all the attacks in order to ensure the safety of the others. He is now seriously injured and unconscious. We don't know whether he is alive or dead!"

Bang!
The middle-aged man's face was cold, and he slapped the table in front of him to pieces.

"Too deceiving!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "How did they know the exit of our Chu family's secret passage?"

A group of people looked at each other, and then their faces changed drastically.

After a while, an old man said coldly: "There is a traitor in the family!"

Everyone looked ugly.

"Who is it?"

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, his eyes full of anger.

No one spoke.

"So, everyone can't get out?"

The man murmured, "Among the younger generation, is Xiaoxian the only one who is not in the family?"

The group of people thought for a moment and nodded.

"Could it be that she is the only kind of spark that can be saved?"

There was a hint of despair in the man's voice.

"Husband, I...I..."

At the side, a middle-aged woman who had been silent all the time suddenly covered her mouth and sobbed.

"what happened?"

The man turned his head and looked at her and asked.

"I told Xiaoxian about the changes at home, and she...she said she would come back as soon as possible!"

The woman said with red eyes and sobbing.

"Nonsense!"

The man's face was filled with anger when he heard this, and he shouted, "Don't you know that if she comes back at this time, she will only die?"

"I... I originally wanted her to leave quickly and stay far away, but she..."

The woman explained with tears in her eyes.

"You raised your own daughter, don't you know what her character is like?"

The man said angrily: "Do you really think that she will listen to you and run away and hide?"

"The family is in trouble. Is she going to watch us die here and do nothing?"

"She will definitely come back!"

"Stupid woman, you're going to kill her!"

Upon hearing this, the woman burst into tears.
