What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

"I'm not leaving!"

In the courtyard of the Chu family residence, Chu Qian's voice was almost a shout.

The Chu family members who were busy packing their things were a beat slower, but none of them dared to look in their direction.

In the center of the courtyard, Chu Hong stood in front of his daughter.

"Say it again?"

"I said, I'm not leaving!"

Chu Qian met her father's gaze without backing down in the slightest.

"Chen Dong is still at the wolf's den."

"The third level isn't over yet, and the wolf spirit is still there. Why should I leave now?"

Chu Hong's chest heaved twice.

"On what grounds?"

"Just based on what Senior Lingyuedie just said, the Abyss has descended!"

"Qianqian, this isn't just a typical tantrum, nor is it as simple as you choosing a husband through a marriage proposal!"

"You don't know what the abyss is?"

Chu Hong raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the Snow Shadow Wolf Den.

"Your father has only just entered the Qiankun Realm!"

"What does the entire Chu family amount to in this kind of situation when they're all tied together?"

"Staying here is suicide!"

Chu Qian stood still.

She looked at her father for a while, then suddenly asked, "What about Chen Dong?"

"I can't leave him there alone."

Chu Hong's suppressed anger was instantly ignited by those words.

"Chu Qian!"

"You are the eldest daughter of the Chu family!"

"The entire Chu family is about to evacuate, and you're going to keep the whole clan waiting for you here for some young martial artist you've only just met?"

"Just met?"

Chu Qian raised her head.

The stubbornness on her face suddenly faded.

"dad."

"Chen Dong and I didn't just meet today."

Chu Hong was taken aback, and the wind in the courtyard passed between the two of them.

Chu Qian took a soft breath and recounted their experience.

"He didn't treat me like the eldest daughter of the Chu family."

"They didn't treat me as some kind of tool for ancient bloodline inheritance."

"He just sees me as Chu Qian."

Chu Hong's face gradually darkened.

"so."

Chu Hong's voice hardened.

"That cloak from Thousand Hills Pass, the Moon Essence from the Heart-Refining Rock..."

"I told him."

Chu Qian directly admitted, "I told him about the three tests for the marriage proposal in advance."

"I set the trial to the highest difficulty level, all for his sake."

"So that he can stand before me with dignity."

Chu Hong's facial muscles tensed slightly.

"You two have been together for a while now?"

"no."

Chu Qian shook her head.

"We've just been waiting."

"I'm waiting for an opportunity that will allow him to enter the Chu family and for me to choose him fairly and squarely."

She paused, then said, "The opportunity is right in front of you."

"He's still inside."

"You're letting me leave?"

"impossible."

Chu Hong looked at his daughter.

"You'd risk your life for him?"

"want."

Chu Qian answered quickly.

"Who doesn't want to live?"

"But what if something really happens today because of the Abyss..."

She turned her head and glanced at the distant mountains.

"I'd rather die with him than live on and keep wondering why I left him there."

"presumptuous!"

Chu Hong roared.

The energy surged outwards, sending several sheets of paper piled on the stone table in the courtyard flying.

"Did I raise you all these years just so you'd say something like that for some young brat?"

"You don't want the Chu family's legacy anymore?"

"You don't want your father anymore either?"

"You're abandoning all the elders in your clan who watched you grow up?"

Chu Qian stood there, her eyes a little red, but she didn't look away.

"I didn't say I didn't want it."

"But Chen Dong is also someone I need."

"I can't remove him from my list of people just because there's danger now."

"dad."

"If I really leave today, then I won't deserve his affection in the future."

Chu Hong stared intently at her; this girl had been stubborn since she was a child.

When I was a child, once I made up my mind about something, nothing could change it.

He used to think this personality was good, but now it's all being put on his face as a father, and Chu Hong feels his forehead throbbing.

"OK."

Chu Hong nodded.

"You're not leaving, are you?"

"right."

"Then don't blame Dad."

Chu Qian's expression changed.

Almost simultaneously, the Yuan energy within her body suddenly erupted.

A snow-white power surged from his body, and a wolf shadow rapidly materialized behind him.

He shifted his feet sideways and charged straight towards the courtyard gate!

She knew very well that she couldn't beat Chu Hong.

She just needs to run away and get back to the wolf's den!

"You really dare!"

Chu Hong was so angry he laughed, and his Yuan Power from the Qiankun Realm instantly suppressed it.

boom!

Chu Qian had only taken a few steps when it seemed as if a wall had suddenly appeared in the air in front of her.

Her body suddenly froze, and several cracks appeared on the stone slab beneath her feet.

Chu Qian turned around forcefully and slapped her side with her palm.

boom!

The two forces collided.

Her strength only lasted a moment before it was forcefully suppressed.

The gap between father and daughter is too large.

Chu Hong simply raised his hand and pressed down, and the Yuan Power belonging to the Qiankun Realm had already gathered from all sides, like several thick walls that kept closing in, firmly trapping Chu Qian in the middle.

"dad!"

"Let me go!"

"Let you go back to your death?"

Don't even think about it!

Chu Qian tried to struggle, but the wolf pounced again.

Chu Hong took a step forward, dodging his daughter's slapping hand, and with a sideways pull, he directly neutralized her force.

Chu Qian turned around to attack again, but Chu Hong was already behind her.

"Take a nap."

Chu Qian had barely heard her father's voice when she was struck on the back of the neck and her body went limp.

Chu Hong reached out and caught his daughter. Looking at her face, which was still furrowed even after she had fainted, he was so angry that his teeth ached.

"You brat."

"You'd even go for real if you got into a fight with your dad."

He bent down, scooped her up, and hoisted her onto his shoulder.

"I'll settle the score with you once we're safe!"

After saying that, Chu Hong turned around.

The tribesmen who had been secretly glancing this way immediately lowered their heads, some moving boxes, others packing things up, all bustling about as if they had suddenly realized that they still had 80% of their work to finish.

Chu Hong was too lazy to argue with them.

"Hurry up!"

"Take what you can, and leave what you can't take!"

"Now is not the time to be reluctant to part with your belongings!"

"Get everyone out of here first!"

"yes!"

The courtyard immediately became busy again, with boxes of items being stored in storage devices.

Some people went back and forth to confirm the number of people, while others checked each courtyard.

Chu Hong stood in the center of the courtyard, carrying the unconscious Chu Qian on his shoulder.

Seeing this, his anger gradually subsided.

This is the Chu family.

This is the place where their lineage has thrived for countless years.

The tree on the east side of the yard was there when he was a child.

The row of stones on the west side were left over from when the courtyard wall was built later.

They find moving out too troublesome, and a bunch of them end up staying for decades.

A corner of the paving stone at the entrance of the courtyard is missing. Every time we talk about fixing it, we think it's not a big deal, and it's been many years since then.

Chu Hong used to walk through here every day and never thought there was anything worth seeing.

Now that I'm really leaving, everything about me seems out of place.

Generations have been born, grown up, cultivated themselves, and started families here. The courtyard walls have been renovated, the houses expanded, and the people have changed batch after batch, until it has become what it is today.

But then the abyss descends.

They didn't even have the right to stay.

Chu Hong looked into the distance, naturally feeling unwilling.

He had just entered the Qiankun Realm, and the Chu family had just become the number one family in Xiling Prefecture, and their lives had just begun to improve.

When the real trouble finally came, he realized that even as a so-called "powerful figure," he was still powerless to do anything.

Chu Hong looked down at his daughter on his shoulder.

"You think Dad wants to leave...?"

He muttered something under his breath.

"But I am the head of the family."

"I can't bring my whole family to gamble with your lives."

"Chieftain!"

A member of the tribe ran over quickly.

"Everything is ready!"

"Everything that can be taken has been packed, and the personnel have been counted. We are ready to depart at any time!"

Chu Hong nodded.

"it is good."

He glanced around again.

The courtyard, the eaves, the old tree, and that old, broken paving stone that has never been replaced.

His gaze swept over the area bit by bit, as if he wanted to memorize the place again.

A moment later, he looked away.

"Everyone—"

The words had barely left his mouth.

hum!

Above the courtyard, a visible ripple suddenly spread through the space.

Chu Hong suddenly looked up.

The space, which had just been calm, quickly became distorted.

A terrifyingly powerful aura pressed into the Chu family's territory, even across the spatial barrier.

Followed by.

Xu Tianlin was the first to appear.

Behind him.

The Golden Rat, the Spirit Moon Butterfly, the Ice Flame Tiger, the Underworld Lizard, the Azure Sky Giant Antelope, and a host of other high-ranking races summoned by the Spirit Moon Butterfly, descended directly upon the Chu family's residence.
