Chapter 780: Chapter 378: Sky-float Boat Arrives at Tianyin City_1
“Is it just a relationship between a pawn and a player?”
Atop the city walls of Tianyin City.
Yan Yin, the Young Family Head of the reclusive Yan Family, listened to the words of the elderly ancestor beside him.
A look of helplessness couldn’t help but surface on his face.
At a time when the Qingshi City Luo Family and the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family had yet to clash, even before they had made a move against families like the Yan Family that possessed Mortal Transcendence Realm cultivators—
Yan Yin still naively thought that his family’s power
could be considered among the top tiers in this land.
It was precisely the Yan Family’s philosophy of staying hidden that had kept them out of the public eye.
Otherwise, their achievements
should not have been much less than those of the Qingshi City Luo Family and the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family.
Even if they couldn’t match the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty and the Luo Family within Qingshi City,
at the very least, they should have been somewhat better off than the two remaining Great Millennium Families within the Feng Family’s territory; there was no question about that.
However, what the Young Family Head Yan Yin hadn’t expected was—
how cold and cruel the world could be.
What he considered top-tier
was not truly top-tier.
It was just that the Qingshi City Luo Family and the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family had not yet made a move against family powers like his Yan Family.
But as soon as the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty took action against the Chen Family, the strongest of the three Great Millennium Families within their territory,
and even directly annihilated the Chen Family,
the reality of the situation changed drastically.
The identity and status of the two remaining Great Millennium Families within the Imperial Feng Family’s territory plummeted from the top to the very bottom in an instant.
They didn’t even dare to defy the orders of the Imperial Feng Family anymore.
And the reclusive Yan Family at the border of the Imperial Feng Family’s land and the Qingshi City Luo Family
were no better off than the two remaining Great Millennium Families within the Imperial Feng Family’s territory.
The remaining families were afraid of the terrifying strength of the Imperial Feng Family,
and thus had no choice but to follow the Imperial Feng Family’s orders.
As for Yan Yin’s reclusive Yan Family, it was because they feared the subsequent cleanup from the Imperial Feng Family.
Therefore, they had no choice but to fully engage in this fierce struggle.
One could only say that the current situation left the reclusive Yan Family with little choice.
If the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty ended up the victor,
the Yan Family would be in great danger of being purged.
If the Yan Family leaned toward the Luo Family of Qingshi City but chose to remain neutral and uninvolved,
then if in the end, the Luo Family of Qingshi City emerged victorious,
at best, the Yan Family would suffer heavy losses,
and their overall strength would be set back immensely.
At worst… they would end up like the Chen Family, the head of the three Great Millennium Families within the territory of the Imperial Feng Family—
As in, they would be cleanly wiped out.
Beyond that, there were no other possibilities.
So, since that was the case,
since choosing neutrality would be dangerous no matter what,
rather than trying to slip through without taking sides,
it would be better to choose a path and follow it to the end.
Even if facing death, it had to come before falling at the hands of the Luo Family of Qingshi City.
Only by doing so could the reclusive Yan Family have a chance to emerge victorious in the midst of this whirlpool of conflict and possibly strengthen their family.
However, all of this depended—
on the Luo Family of Qingshi City.
“Elder ancestor, do you think…”
“Will the Qingshi City Luo Family come to our aid?”
Above the walls of Tianyin City,
Yan Yin, the Young Family Head of the Yan Family, suddenly turned his head and asked in a somewhat confused tone to the elderly ancestor beside him.
Clad in a gray robe, his face seemed to bear the traces of many years,
but in reality, the force of Qi-Blood of the Mortal Transcendence Initial Stage within his body could not be underestimated.
At this very moment, he was quietly gazing into the distance.
If one observed carefully,
they would realize that the direction the old ancestor of the Yan Family was silently watching was indeed where the Luo Family Ancestral Land lay.
Actually, regarding the question posed by Yan Yin,
even as the elder ancestor of the Yan Family, he was not entirely certain.
They could help, or they might not.
He had clearly stated from the beginning:
In the current situation of the Qingshi City Luo Family, the Yan Family,
and the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family, along with the two remaining Great Millennium Families within the Feng Family’s territory—
The Qingshi City Luo Family and the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty were like players in a game of chess,
engaged in a most serious match.
And the reclusive Yan Family, and the two remaining Great Millennium Families within the Imperial Feng Family’s territory,
were like the pieces on the chessboard.
A piece can be saved or sacrificed.
And the true key lay in the interests between the two players.
“Regardless of whether the Qingshi City Luo Family will come to our aid,”
“our decision will no longer change.”
“And we no longer have the privilege to change it…”
