Chapter 1446 - 1443: Is the Zhuo Family Chickening Out?

The members of the Zhuo Family around him converged their gaze toward him.

In an instant, the face of the Patriarch of the Zhuo Family turned even more unpleasant, finding himself stuck in a difficult situation.

His own son was killed, and the Zhuo Family's elder ancestor also perished at Ye Qiu's hands. This hatred must be avenged, both for the sake of the Zhuo Family's dignity and from his personal standpoint; Ye Qiu must be killed!!!

However, the problem lies in that Ye Qiu's strength is simply too powerful!!!

The Zhuo Family elder, Zhuo Tianwen, was one of the only two Divine Realm Powerhouses the Zhuo Family had, and a master of the Path of the Divine Realm, equally matched compared to the other elder of the Zhuo Family!!!

Yet even Zhuo Tianwen died tragically at Ye Qiu's hands, leaving the Zhuo Family at a loss for what method could possibly deal with and kill Ye Qiu?!

If they sent the other elder of the Zhuo Family to trouble Ye Qiu, they might end up compromising this elder too.

Hence, revenge is necessary, but first, they must devise a foolproof plan to kill Ye Qiu!!!

"Isn't Ye Qiu at odds with the Ouyang Family?"

Thinking along these lines, the Patriarch of the Zhuo Family glanced coldly at the Zhuo Family members present and said, "In that case, we might as well let the strong warriors of the Ouyang Family deal with Ye Qiu and kill him!!!"

"No matter how formidable Ye Qiu is, can he possibly be more formidable than the Ouyang Family?!! The people of the Ouyang Family will soon arrive in Jiangnan City; we only need to follow their orders, keep a close watch on that brat's movements, and make sure he doesn't escape!!!"

The Patriarch of the Zhuo Family's eyes flared with fierce killing intent.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Zhuo Family members nodded heavily, finding no objections to the Patriarch's plan.

After all, it was the most prudent approach.

They weren't fools; knowing full well how formidable Ye Qiu is, even if the entire Zhuo Family were to go all out, it would be difficult to take down Ye Qiu. Even if they manage to kill him, the cost would likely be tremendous.

Therefore, it makes more sense to let the Ouyang Family deal with Ye Qiu, using them as pawns to kill him!!!

They simply refuse to believe that the Ouyang Family, one of the foremost Hidden Clans of Huaxia, home to more than one Divinity Transformation Earth Realm Unparalleled Strong, could fail to kill Ye Qiu!!!

...

Ye Qiu initially thought the Zhuo Family's retaliation would come swiftly, given that their elder ancestor and eldest son died at his hands.

This, you could say, was a blood feud.

With the Hidden Clans' protective nature, not to mention two critical figures dying at Ye Qiu's hands, even one disciple's death would prompt them to seek revenge by any means necessary.

Let alone such a blood feud.

Thus, Ye Qiu believed the Zhuo Family's revenge should have arrived quickly.

Yet now, a day has already passed, and the Zhuo Family has shown no reaction whatsoever, which is somewhat unexpected.

Could it be that the Zhuo Family doesn't know he killed Zhuoyue and the other one?

That seems unlikely, as the Zhuo Family's henchmen have escaped, and given that the Zhuo Family is a Hidden Clan based in Jiangnan City, finding out about his identity would be simplicity itself.

If that's the case, then perhaps the Zhuo Family is too intimidated by his prowess, and thus has decided to back down and not come seeking revenge?

Indeed, this scenario is entirely plausible.

However, if that's the case, Ye Qiu must be even more cautious.

Ye Qiu isn't afraid of the Zhuo Family coming to confront him directly but rather fears the Zhuo Family lurking in the shadows, keeping an eye on him, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sudden deadly ambush!!!

Mind you, the quieter the dog, the more likely it is to jump out and bite you at a crucial moment!!!

Nonetheless, while saying this, Ye Qiu wasn't overly concerned about the Zhuo Family's threat.

After all, Ye Qiu wasn't the least bit intimidated by the likes of the Ouyang Family, even their Divinity Transformation Earth Realm Unparalleled Powerhouses, let alone the mere Zhuo Family!!!

If the Zhuo Family decided to jump out sometime, Ye Qiu could easily deal with them and resolve the matter!

Being the Demon King, he exudes such dominance!!!

In comparison, estimating the timeline, the Ouyang Family should be almost here, right?

Remembering matters related to the Ouyang Family, Ye Qiu's mood also turned somewhat heavy, a little pressured.

Though Ye Qiu's prowess is rapidly improving, growing increasingly proficient with the abilities of the Path of the Divine Realm, incorporating more and more techniques.

Utilizing these abilities, as long as it's not Ouyang Bai or Ouyang Wutian acting, Ye Qiu can effortlessly handle anyone under the Divinity Transformation Earth Realm level.

However, confronting a Divinity Transformation Earth Realm Unparalleled Strong isn't yet within his reach given his current prowess.

And yesterday, Cat and others in Ying City contacted him, conveying the news that all the top fighters of the Ouyang Family were mobilizing, heading towards Jiangnan City.

What's crucial is, the message from Cat and others mentioned one key point: leading the charge towards Jiangnan City might very well be Ouyang Bai and Ouyang Wutian!!!

So, to deal with Ye Qiu, both Ouyang Bai and Ouyang Wutian, the two Divinity Transformation Earth Realm Unparalleled Strong from the Ouyang Family, are making a personal appearance!!!

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

Though Ye Qiu had long anticipated that after Ouyang Kuang perished at his hands, the Ouyang Family would seek stronger revenge by dispatching a more potent Divinity Transformation Earth Realm Unparalleled Strong!!!

Yet in Ye Qiu's forecast, the Ouyang Family's pursuit would only involve one Divinity Transformation Earth Realm presence, likely Ouyang Bai.

No less because the probability of sending two Divinity Transformation Earth Realm Unparalleled Strong across miles to chase down someone, reasoning any way you like, seems utterly implausible.

Understand that Divinity Transformation Earth Realm Unparalleled Strong are typically aloof and dignified; how could they lower their prestige or pride, stooping arrogantly to exhaust effort chasing someone who, despite having just broken into the Divine Realm, can be squashed with a finger!!!

Impressively compelling the Ouyang Family to send in one Divinity Transformation Earth Realm strong fighter is remarkable enough; there's absolutely no need for two such figures to tackle him, rationally this seems overwhelmingly excessive.

However, it's precisely this that indicates the Ouyang Family's hatred toward him has reached visceral levels, intent on persisting until he's killed!!!
