Chapter 722 The Xiu Family's Attitude
"I want to drive the Heavenly Army out of the Heavenly Pillar Treasure Extreme Mysterious Heaven." Chen Guan met with Xiu Yingmei and told her what he wanted to do.

Currently, to freely enter and exit Tianzhu Baoji Xuantian, Xiu Yingmei's help is still needed. Moreover, Chen Guan came here to find out the Xiu family's attitude.

Ji Nanhong's affair could not be kept from the Xiu family, and neither could An Yiqi's affair. Chen Guan wanted to know how the Xiu family made their choice.

“Ji Nan Hong is so pitiful, you have to treat her well.” Xiu Yingmei sighed, “No one expected that the judge would have another son. All the major families are very dissatisfied with this, but it’s too late now.”

"Now, Qi Zhi'an, also known as An Yiqi, has seized Ji Nanhong's talent and obtained the secret law of rebirth from fire. He is now immortal and no one can kill him even if they want to. In addition, with the eight hundred years of management by the Chief Judge, his power is now deeply rooted and not much inferior to the Ten Great Families. The Ten Great Families are now having a lot of headaches."

"Currently, the attitudes of the ten major families are mostly ambiguous. Although they have all expressed their dissatisfaction at the ancestral court meeting, none of them have taken any real action."

Chen Guan laughed and said, "After all, they couldn't openly say that they wanted the judge to have no offspring. They didn't expect to be outmaneuvered by the judge. After more than eight hundred years of forbearance, this judge is truly flexible and adaptable."

"It's just the calm before the storm. This matter won't end like this. They certainly won't let the judge do as he pleases so easily. They will definitely take action."

Xiu Yingmei sighed as she said this, "Now, apart from Ji Nanhong, our Xiu family is the most miserable."

"Without Ji Nanhong, your Xiu family will control the Heavenly Court Army. Isn't that a good thing? What's so bad about it?" Chen Guan asked knowingly.

"If only that were the case. It's a pity that Qi Zhian has suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Both the Chief Judge and Commander Ji support him to lead the Heavenly Court Army. I'm afraid that before the Commander passes away, the Heavenly Court Army will be under the Qi family's control. What will we have to do with it?" Xiu Yingmei sneered. "The anger of the ten great families is something our Xiu family has to withstand now. In the future, he will reap the rewards from the Heavenly Court Army. He will take all the good things in the world. The Chief Judge is really good at this."

"So, if I raise an army, which side will your Xiu family stand on?" Chen Guan asked with a smile.

"Which side can we stand on? Our family business and power were given to us by the ancestral court, so we can only stand on the side of the ancestral court. But my heart is with you, and I will silently cheer for you in my heart." Xiu Yingmei still had the mood to joke.

“You’re fine with supporting the ancestral temple, but you’ll have to do me a favor,” Chen Guan said.

“Okay, no problem, but you need to have those people from Ziyang City disguise themselves so they can’t be recognized, otherwise I can help you. If they are discovered, I’ll be in big trouble,” Xiu Yingmei said.

"Who said we were going to bring people from Ziyang City?" Chen Guan blinked and said.

"How can you take down Tianzhu Baoji Xuantian without bringing people from Ziyang City? That's where the main force of the Heavenly Court Army is located in the cave heaven. There are more than twenty military units like the Crimson Blood Legion there, and their combat power is terrifying. You don't want to go and fight them all by yourself, do you?" Xiu Yingmei asked in surprise.

“Going alone isn’t impossible, but I don’t plan to go alone. I’ll still need to find some help, but not from Ziyang City,” Chen Guan said.

"If you're not going to use people from Ziyang City, who are you going to use?" Xiu Yingmei asked, somewhat puzzled. Besides people from Ziyang City, where else could Chen Guan use?

"Didn't you just say that the ten major families are very dissatisfied with the judge? If I raise my voice now, do you think any of the ten major families will respond?" Chen Guan said.

"Well... it's really hard to say..." Xiu Yingmei couldn't be sure. Even if the ten major families were dissatisfied with the judge, it was still unknown whether they would respond to Chen Guan.

“I think it definitely will, so I certainly won’t be short of manpower.” Chen Guan looked at Xiu Yingmei and said, “But before all the heroes in the world come to help me, you have to do me a favor first.”

"What kind of help?" Xiu Yingmei asked thoughtfully.

"I want to see Xiu Jieming." Chen Guan's request surprised Xiu Yingmei. "What do you want to see my older brother for?" Xiu Yingmei asked, puzzled.

"If I succeed, who do you think the judge will send to suppress me?" Chen Guan asked with a smile.

"My older brother!" Xiu Yingmei's expression changed slightly. She had been so angry that she had forgotten about this.

If Xiu Jieming were to suppress Chen Guan, it would be fine if he won, but if he lost, not only would his own reputation and prestige be damaged, but the judge might also take this opportunity to weaken and suppress the Xiu family, since he had to pave the way for Qi Zhi'an to take over the Heavenly Court Army.

Having figured this out, Xiu Yingmei frowned and pondered how to break this deadlock so that neither Chen Guan nor the Xiu family would suffer any losses.

I came up with some ideas, but none of them were perfect, and eventually people would see through them.

Even without evidence, if the judge suspects that the Xiu family has ulterior motives, their future situation will be even more difficult.

"I regret it. I shouldn't have helped you. This will put my older brother and the Xiu family in a difficult position," Xiu Yingmei sighed.

“So I have to see him, and I absolutely cannot let anyone know. Right now, you’re the only one who can do this,” Chen Guan said.

"You wouldn't do that to my older brother..." Xiu Yingmei didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was already very clear.

She knew that Chen Guan was Zi Donglai. Although Xiu Jieming was very strong, Xiu Yingmei was still worried because Chen Guan had fought really tough battles.

“When I was of lower rank, your elder brother never bullied me. If I wanted to do anything to him, I wouldn’t have wanted to meet him in secret,” Chen Guan said.

Xiu Yingmei nodded slightly; Chen Guan's words were not wrong.

Xiu Jieming is currently on the front lines of the fight against the Demon King's City. Everyone knows that Zi Donglai is connected to the Demon King of the Demon King's City.

If Zi Donglai and Demon King City join forces to attack Baili City, Xiu Jieming will likely be unable to resist. Even if he doesn't die in Baili City, he will still have no way to explain himself when he returns.

"Okay, wait for me here." Xiu Yingmei got up and left. She needed to see Xiu Jieming and explain the matter to him.

After hearing Xiu Yingmei's words, Xiu Jieming did not agree to meet Chen Guan, but only told Xiu Yingmei: "Tell Chen Guan that my battle with him is inevitable."

"Big brother... Chen Guan is..." Xiu Yingmei wanted to tell Xiu Jieming that Chen Guan was Zi Donglai, to dissuade him from fighting Chen Guan, and preferably to promote their cooperation.

“Zi Donglai,” Xiu Jieming replied calmly.

"Big brother...when did you find out..." Xiu Yingmei stared wide-eyed in surprise.

“I’m your older brother.” Xiu Jieming smiled. “Go ahead, just tell him that, he’ll understand.”
