Chapter 152
Su Qingyi was, after all, a young girl. She couldn’t endure this strange and oppressive atmosphere, so she asked with concern, “Father, the Su Clan is facing its greatest crisis. Will we be able to safely get through it?”
“We will. Our Su Clan once experienced a crisis of clan extermination, and didn’t we safely get through it?
That time, it was Xiao Chen who helped us get through it. This time, if our Su Clan is exterminated because of Xiao Chen, we won’t have any complaints or regrets. After all, we earned three months of life. Keke. ”
Su Diguo was surprisingly calm at this moment. When he heard Su Qingyi’s question, his plump face revealed a benevolent and warm smile. Confident and optimistic words drifted out from his mouth, and at the same time, he expressed his gratitude to Xiao Chen.
Su Diguo was a successful merchant, but he was definitely an unscrupulous merchant. This was his way of doing business.
In the face of the crisis of clan extermination, he was still able to maintain such a clear mind and calm composure. He was still able to remember Xiao Chen’s kindness, which was very rare. This was his charisma.
It was a pity that he was born in the tiny Su Clan. If he was born in the Slaughter Clan, he would be like a fish back in the water. He would be able to maximize his talents and charisma, and it would be possible for him to become a formidable character.
Su Diguo didn’t allow Su Qingyi to speak and continued, “Qingyi, it doesn’t matter if Father dies, but it is a pity that you are in the prime of your life. Your elder brother and the rest of the Su Clan have all gone to the Moonview Tribe. You have a stubborn personality and refuse to leave, saying that you want to live and die with the Su Clan. Aren’t you just increasing the casualties?
Sigh! ”
Su Diguo’s words came from the bottom of his heart. He admired and doted on his intelligent and capable daughter, Su Qingyi. He didn’t wish for Su Qingyi to face a life and death situation with him at such a young age.
He had already predicted that the Su Clan would face today’s calamity. Therefore, he had secretly transferred the Su Clan’s family members and most of the Su Clan’s assets to the neighboring Moonview Tribe. It was to leave a path of retreat for the Su Clan and prevent the clan from being exterminated. Right now, the Su Clan only had a few upper echelons and a small portion of the Su Clan’s generals.
“Father!”
When Su Qingyi heard her father’s loving words, she was moved to tears and couldn’t help but call out to her father. She could feel the deep fatherly love, but it was precisely because Su Diguo treated her too well that she couldn’t leave Su Diguo to face this life and death situation alone. She had to share some of Su Diguo’s pressure, and even if she had to die, she would have no regrets.
Su Diguo looked at the tear-filled Su Qingyi and slowly stood up from his seat. He walked over to Su Qingyi’s side with a smile and extended his chubby right hand to gently pat Su Qingyi’s head. He consoled her with a deep voice.
“Qing Yi, there’s no need to be so pessimistic. Previously, the Su Clan was able to survive the joint attack of the Yue Clan and the Xie Clan. Although the enemies we’re facing this time are countless times more terrifying, there are still two outcomes. Life and death. Previously, because of Xiao Chen, our Su Clan survived. This time, I still believe that Xiao Chen will be able to protect our Su Clan!
Haha! ”
“Yes!
Father is absolutely right!
Xiao Chen is a miraculous man that can create miracles! ”
After hearing Su Diguo’s optimistic words, Su Qingyi’s eyes lit up. She used her jade-white hand to wipe away the tears on her face. Her flawless and beautiful face revealed a smile that could topple a nation. She regained her self-confidence and instantly radiated with radiance and beauty.
“En, let us look forward to Xiao Chen creating another miracle.”
Su Diguo nodded and smiled. He then walked to the entrance of the secret room and pressed his hand on a protruding spot on the stone wall. With a soft sound, the heavy stone door gradually opened.
“Qingyi, let’s go. The influential figures of Sha Emperor City should be arriving soon. We have to welcome them and do our best as a host. Don’t you think so?
Keke. ”
Before Su Diguo walked out of the stone door, he turned back to look at Su Qingyi and forced a smile. However, his eyes were filled with deep helplessness and worry.
“En.”
Su Qingyi regained her cold expression and responded with an indifferent ‘en’. She took light steps and quickly caught up to Su Diguo, who was already out of the secret room. At this moment, her heart was tranquil and didn’t seem to care about the impending life and death crisis.
“Su Diguo, get out here and welcome Lord Ji!”
Just as Su Diguo and Su Qingyi walked out of the house and arrived at the Su Clan’s courtyard, there was a cold shout that contained a trace of schadenfreude that echoed throughout the Su Clan’s courtyard.
“Blood Impermanence?!”
Su Diguo could tell that this cold voice belonged to Blood Impermanence and couldn’t help but frown. As expected, the situation was developing in the worst direction. Blood Impermanence was obviously trying to get someone else to do his dirty work.
As for why Blood Impermanence wasn’t referring to Lord Sha but Lord Ji, Su Diguo wasn’t sure and didn’t make any wild guesses. He would naturally know once he went out and met Lord Ji.
“Father …”
Su Qingyi’s heart, which had just calmed down, started to fluctuate again. Saying it was one thing, but when facing a huge crisis, no one would be able to stay out of it and remain calm and indifferent. Not even saints could do it.
Su Diguo looked at Su Qingyi with a grave expression before he looked around at the three Su Clan’s elders and the thirty White Tiger Territory’s Su Clan’s generals. His eyes turned resolute as he yelled out, “All Su Clan’s warriors, follow me out to welcome our guests from afar!”
“Let’s go!”
Su Diguo took the lead and led everyone out of the courtyard with large strides. He had a heroic spirit and courage that was ready to face death.
Su Qingyi wasn’t inferior to any man and was the second to walk out of the door. She was followed by the three elders and Su Jianfei, and finally the thirty White Tiger Territory’s Su Clan’s generals.
A short moment later, Su Diguo led everyone out of the Su Clan’s entrance. He immediately saw three middle-aged men with boundless aura presence standing in front of him. That familiar middle-aged man was much weaker than the other two unfamiliar middle-aged men, and it was obvious that they weren’t in the same realm.
This familiar middle-aged man was naturally the Blood Sun City’s City Lord, Blood Impermanence. Su Diguo hadn’t seen the other two before and guessed that they were ‘guests’ from Sha Di City. One of them must have the surname of Ji, and the other two should be Purple Image Realm experts. This was what Su Diguo, who was at the third stage of the Blood Bear Realm, felt.
Behind the three middle-aged men were dozens of Blood Bear Realm experts, and none of them were weak. It was obvious that they were experienced soldiers with awe-inspiring murderous aura!
What a brat. He actually used two Purple Image Realm experts and dozens of Blood Bear Realm experts to search our Su Clan. He truly thinks highly of our Su Clan!
Su Diguo and Su Qingyi looked at each other and saw the grave and worried expression in each other’s eyes.
“City Lord Xue, you have a myriad of affairs to attend to every day and don’t know the hardships. I wonder why you have come to my humble abode in the middle of the night?”
Su Diguo pretended to be calm and acted as though he didn’t understand and bowed to Blood Impermanence. Before Blood Impermanence could reply, Su Diguo looked at Ji Chenggong and asked without any change in expression.
“Who are these two lords?
On such a rainy night, wouldn’t it be a little unreasonable for City Lord Xue to not invite the two lords back to his residence to rest and properly entertain them?
If the two lords and City Lord Xue don’t mind, Diguo would like to invite the three lords into my humble abode as guests. I will naturally entertain you well. ”
Su Diguo’s words were filled with sarcasm and didn’t give any face to Blood Impermanence. Earlier on, Blood Impermanence roared for Su Diguo to get out. Su Diguo naturally wouldn’t give such a City Lord any face. In any case, Blood Impermanence was going to mercilessly attack the Su Clan soon, and there was no longer any meaning in putting on a show.
“You!”
Blood Impermanence didn’t expect Su Diguo to be so unyielding. He didn’t even give him, the City Lord, any face after killing the influential figures of Sha Di City. Blood Impermanence was fuming with anger, but he was also a small and ambitious character. He immediately calmed down and sneered.
“Heh, Su Diguo, you have guts!
A fool who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!
Do you think the Blood Sun City is still Xiao Chen’s world?
Without Xiao Chen’s protection, your Su Clan is nothing!
Right now, Xiao Chen has become a drowning dog and is fleeing everywhere. He can’t even take care of himself, so how is he going to protect your Su Clan?
Hahaha! ”
Hearing Blood Impermanence’s insults, berating, ridiculing, and threats, Su Diguo’s expression changed and went silent. He naturally understood Xiao Chen’s situation and the Su Clan’s miserable state. Blood Impermanence intentionally emphasized the intimate relationship between the Su Clan and Xiao Chen, clearly trying to push the Su Clan to the brink of destruction and borrow the power to suppress others.
