Heavenly War God

At this moment, Xiahou Guang suddenly stood up and said with bloodshot eyes, "This Chen Family has a good plan! He is taking this opportunity to kick them while they are down. He wants us to use our resources to nurture his men, and he wants us to guide them. Does he think our Xiahou Family is a fool? "    

If he was just a subordinate family, Xiahou Guang could still tolerate this humiliation, but as a guide, there was no room for negotiation!    

The Chen Family had played this game beautifully. Not only were they going to use the Xiahou Family's resources to nurture their own people, but they were also going to nurture their own people. Not only that, they also wanted the Xiahou Family to be their guide.    

They wanted to eliminate the next generation of the Xiahou Family.    

The Tomb of King was filled with danger. The guide needed human lives to lead the way.    

Furthermore, Xiahou Lieh was about to participate in the opening of the Tomb of King. If he agreed to this condition, it would be the same as sending his son to his death!    

Once this condition was agreed, not only would the Xiahou Family need to consume a huge amount of resources, they would also need to lose a lot of geniuses. They might even lose their son and become a vassal of the Chen Family.    

Xiahou Guang had seen through the scheme of the Chen Family with just a glance. Naturally, he wouldn't agree to it.    

"Hehe, Patriarch, you don't agree? Very well. " Let me ask you, do we still have a choice now? " Xiahou Mu said with a sneer," It's not about whether we are willing to agree to the conditions of Chen Family, but to see if Chen Family is willing to help us. If we don't use the resources to nurture Zhu Chen, will we continue to nurture Xiahou Lieh? "    

After Xiahou Mu finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell upon Xiahou Lieh at the same time.    

"If Xiahou Lieh can break through to the True Human Stage in front of War of Celestial Chosen, I have no objections to cultivating him with all my strength. "But, can he do it?" Xiahou Mu said with a sarcastic tone.    

One should know that they had once spared no effort to nurture Xiahou Lieh. However, Xiahou Lieh had been stuck at the True Human Stage for three years now, but the cultivation had made no progress at all.    

The resources they had spent were enough to cultivate a new Taoist Expert, but Xiahou Lieh still didn't show any signs of breaking through to the True Human Stage.    

Looking at these people's mocking eyes, Xiahou Lieh couldn't help but want to stand up. However, he didn't have the courage to do so.    

Because!    

He himself did not have the confidence to break through.    

If he could break through, he would have broken through long ago. Why wait until now?    

Xiahou Guang's expression turned ugly. He looked at Xiahou Mu coldly, and Xiahou Mu also looked at him with a smile on his face.    

The two of them kept staring at each other in the sky.    

Xiahou Guang was defeated very quickly. Although he was very angry, he knew that what Xiahou Mu said was true.    

He had already spent a lot of resources on Xiahou Lieh. It was so much that everyone had their own opinions, but Xiahou Lieh still showed no signs of breaking through. Even he was losing hope.    

"Patriarch, now is not the time to be indecisive. Don't blame me for being blunt as your elder brother. There is only one path in front of us right now. " If we can't find any geniuses to help us now, then what awaits us will be the removal of the Imperial Family! " Xiahou Mu threatened coldly.    

"Now that we've agreed to the Chen Family, it's only because we have to endure the humiliation. There's still hope for the Xiahou Family. If we don't agree to it, then we won't have any chance at all. "    

"That's right, Second Brother. I think what First Brother said is right." Xiahou Mian interrupted at this moment, "You are the patriarch of Xiahou Family. We all respect you. However, everyone was following you because they wanted to live a good life. They didn't want to watch us be removed from the family. I support First Brother's decision on this matter. "    

Xiahou Mian was Xiahou Lieh's Third Uncle. He was a spoiled brat when he was young, but now that he was in his middle age, he still didn't show any restraint.    

Everyone present knew that Xiahou Mian and Xiahou Mu had always been in cahoots with each other. He would listen to Xiahou Mu's every word.    

If it was any other time, they would naturally stand on Xiahou Guang's side. But now, all of them had become silent.    

Xiahou Guang took a deep breath. When he saw that no one was talking, a hint of despair appeared on his face.    

Could it be that the Xiahou Family was really going to fall under his lead?    

On the surface, Xiahou Mu had said that he would endure humiliation and that everything was for the Xiahou Family, but how could Xiahou Guang not understand his wild ambitions?    

Xiahou Mu had become the lackey of the Chen Family! Furthermore, how could the Chen Family give them the chance to endure humiliation?    

The Chen Family wanted to take this opportunity to devour the Xiahou Family.    

However, he had no other choice.    

These days, he had been busy searching for all the geniuses. He had already found all the people he could ask for. However, how could it be so easy to find a genius?    

If he couldn't reach Taoist's realm, he wouldn't have any chance in the War of Celestial Chosen. However, a young genius who could reach the True Human Stage was a dragon among men. In a remote place like theirs, it was virtually impossible to find such a genius.    

"Second Brother, I think you should have made your decision earlier. That Zhu Chen is already on his way. If you don't agree to it when he arrives, not only will our Xiahou Family be removed from the list of nobles, but we will also be removed from the list. And there is a possibility of offending the Chen Family. "At that time, the situation will not be good." Xiahou Mian continued.    

In terms of proper business, Xiahou Mian did not achieve anything, but when it came to adding insult to injury, he was very good.    

"Patriarch, we have been looking for this genius for so long. If we could find him, we would have found him long ago. However, we still don't have the slightest clue about him. I'm afraid we won't be able to find him in a short period of time."    

At this moment, the Elder in the meeting hall let out a long sigh. One of the old men shook his head and said, "I think we should agree to the conditions of the Chen Family. This condition was too much, but as long as they could protect their noble status, they would be able to do so. There is still hope. "    

"If we don't have the status of nobles, we will be the fat meat in the eyes of other nobles. I'm afraid they will devour us all."    

"The conditions of the Chen Family are indeed a little too much. However, it's still better than having no choice."    

"I support our acceptance of the Chen Family's help."    

"I support it as well."    

In the meeting hall, the Elder of the Xiahou Family were discussing amongst themselves. To them, this wasn't a difficult choice.    

One was a dead end.    

The other was that they could still live.    

What was there to consider?    

As for the future of Xiahou Family, that was something that only Xiahou Guang, the patriarch, needed to consider. What they needed to consider was their own interests. As long as they could ensure their own interests, they wouldn't have any objections even if they sacrificed the Xiahou Family, let alone becoming a vassal of the Chen Family.    

Xiahou Mu was waiting with a smile on his face, waiting for the answer of his second brother, the patriarch.    

He didn't believe that his second brother, the patriarch, had another choice.    

When the Chen Family was looking for him to negotiate with him, not only did they make these requests, they had also promised him that as long as he could make this decision, the next patriarch would belong to their branch. Furthermore, the Chen Family was also willing to help pull Xiahou Guang down from his horse and make him the patriarch.    

This was why he was trying his best to facilitate this matter.    

To him, if he could become the patriarch, so what if he could become a vassal of the Chen Family?    

"Patriarch, do you still want to continue thinking about it?" Xiahou Mu asked aggressively.    

Xiahou Guang heaved a long sigh and raised his head in despair. He had a lot of authority in the family, but it wasn't just his hands that could cover the sky. He also had no other choice now.    

It was better to have a path than death.    

Xiahou Guang nodded his head lightly and was about to agree with Xiahou Guang with a bitter face. At this moment, Xiahou Lieh suddenly stood up. His face was full of struggle, as if he had something to say.    

Looking at his son, Xiahou Guang frowned slightly and said, "Lie'er, do you have something to say?"    

"Well, father, I have something to report to you. "I have been inquiring about a genius these days." Xiahou Lieh took a deep breath and said.    

"Did you find out about that genius?" Xiahou Guang asked.    

He was very clear about the whereabouts of his son. These days, Xiahou Lieh had been searching for the mysterious genius who forced the Toad Wood Ancient Snake to self-destruct.    

However, Xiahou Guang was very clear about the power of the Toad Wood Ancient Snake's self-destruction. He absolutely didn't believe that a Sight Stage warrior could survive such an explosion, so he didn't take this matter to heart. He never thought that Xiahou Lieh would suddenly mention it today.    

Could it be that he had news about that mysterious genius?    

"That so-called genius. In my opinion, you are the one who fabricated it. I think the one who forced the Toad Wood Ancient Snake to self-destruct must be Taoist." Xiahou Mu said with disdain.    

He didn't believe that a Sight Stage could kill a half-step Taoist's Toad Wood Ancient Snake.    

In his point of view, this was just Xiahou Lieh deliberately stalling for time.    

Unexpectedly, Xiahou Lieh nodded and said, "En, that mysterious genius is called Shen Yih. I have already invited him to our Prefecture, and he has promised to help our Xiahou Family fight the battle."    

"I believe that with Shen Yih's strength, he will definitely be able to help our Xiahou Family stand out in the War of Celestial Chosen."    

"Really?" Xiahou Guang's face was filled with surprise. He immediately said, "Let's go, bring me to see that young friend Shen Yih."    

"Um, Shen Yih is currently in secluded cultivation, waiting for him to come out. "Father, it's not too late for you to pay him a visit." Xiahou Lieh said hastily.    

He didn't know that Shen Yih had gone into seclusion, but Shen Yih's cultivation was only at the seventh level of the Sight Stage. It was true that he was very strong, but his cultivation base was still too low. Xiahou Lieh had no idea how to cultivate him into Taoist in the War of Celestial Chosen.    

No matter how strong a Sight Stage was, he was still a Sight Stage.    

As for the War of Celestial Chosen, it was a battlefield for True Human Stage warriors.    

If they couldn't reach the True Human Stage, it would be very difficult for them to obtain good results in the War of Celestial Chosen.    

However, Shen Yih was the strongest and most promising genius that he could find. Xiahou Lieh could only push him out.    

He couldn't just watch helplessly as his family became the subordinate of the Chen Family, allowing the Chen Family to devour him step by step.
