Chapter 2125 - 2110

"Though our Ying Family and your Jian Family have never been very harmonious over these centuries, if the Jian Family members are willing to become part of our Ying Family, the past will naturally be forgiven. From this day forward, our Ying Family shall treat everyone equally!

Since I have spoken thus, I am bound to keep my word!" At this moment, the Ying Family Ancestor, Ying Qing, also expressed his stance.

"This!"

Upon hearing the words of these four in the sky, the crowd of Jian Family members showed reactions, and many faces appeared complicated.

If they leave the Jian Family to join one of these Four Great Powers, although they will carry the stigma of being cowardly and disloyal in the future, they can save their lives.

Though the Jian Family is strong and Ancestor Jian Gu is extremely powerful, there are four super-level powerhouses of the same level as Jian Gu in the sky.

This time, the Jian Family is truly in danger!

"Good! Good! This proposal, indeed, is not bad!" In front of the Jian Family crowd, Jian Gu laughed instead of getting angry and said with a smile.

Then, he continued, "Whoever wants to leave the Jian Family, make your decision quickly, and you need not worry that I will intervene. I guarantee I will not intervene!"

"This!"

Upon hearing Jian Gu's words, many in the Jian Family looked even more conflicted.

"Me too!" At this moment, the Jian Family's head, Jian Yu, also voiced his stance: "Whether one wants to remain a part of the Jian Family from this moment on is entirely voluntary!

If one does not want to be a part of the Jian Family, I will not force it and will absolutely not intervene! Not only me, but no Jian Family member present here shall intervene!"

"Even the Family Head has said so!"

The most feared in the Jian Family are naturally Jian Gu and Jian Yu. Unexpectedly, both of them have declared they will not intervene.

At this moment, many faces showed hesitation, struggling internally.

"I!" At this point, finally, someone shouted. The voice was familiar, a woman's voice.

The first to speak was actually this Jian Ze's daughter, Jian Qiong!

When shouting "I," Jian Qiong spoke angrily, saying:

"Since that person appeared in the Jian Family, he has bullied me! On the first day he arrived at the Jian Family, he slapped me hard at the Flower Viewing Pavilion.

That loud slap is still vivid in my memory. It has become an indelible nightmare!

All these days, I've had no night without waking up from nightmares. Now, I'm to die because of that person. Why should I? Why!

I'm still so young, with many things I want to do. I want to live! If leaving the Jian Family can let me live, then I'll leave this Jian Family; I'm willing to join the Lingxiao Sacred Land!"

As she spoke these words, Jian Qiong's pretty face was filled with determination. She raised her head to look at Yuann Yao in the sky, and then with a movement, she floated away from the crowd.

"Jian Qiong!"

"Jian Qiong!"

…

In the crowd of Jian Family members, many coldly uttered Jian Qiong's name, accompanied by countless icy gazes directed at Elder Jian Ze.

And just when someone was about to attack Jian Qiong, they were immediately suppressed by an invisible Sword Power unleashed by Jian Yu.

Jian Yu had said, whoever leaves the Jian Family will not be attacked by him or any member of the Jian Family, and so it shall be.

Jian Qiong drifted into the Void and floated in front of Lingxiao Ancestor, Yuann Yao. She clasped her hands in salutation, and her pretty face was full of respect as she addressed Yuann Yao respectfully, saying, "Disciple Jian Qiong, greets Ancestor!"

"Humph!" Looking at Jian Qiong, Yuann Yao let out two chuckles, then said:

"Good! Very good! Girl, after you shout once more that Jian Gu is a 'turtle bastard,' you'll truly be a member of Lingxiao Sacred Land. You are the first to submit to our Lingxiao Sacred Land; from now on, our Lingxiao Sacred Land shall focus on cultivating you!"

"This!" Regarding the demand to insult Jian Gu, though Jian Qiong had heard it just now, when she heard Yuann Yao say it, her face still changed dramatically.

After all, Ancestor Jian Gu's authority had been long engrained in people's hearts.

Then, Jian Qiong looked down at the Jian Family members below, then at her father Jian Ze, and finally at Ancestor Jian Gu.

The angry faces and glaring eyes of the Jian Family members all fell into her sight at this moment.

It was as if she owed them something.

Jian Qiong could see that if they could, the Jian Family members would dismember her.

"Jian Qiong, you dare!" At this moment, a loud and angry shout erupted, coming from the Second Elder of the Jian Family, Jian Yuan.

"What don't I dare?" Hearing Jian Yuan's shout, Jian Qiong coldly replied to him, then she shouted angrily, "Jian Gu, turtle bastard!"

"Jian Gu, turtle bastard!"

"Jian Gu, turtle bastard!"

Jian Qiong shouted three times at the crowd below.

Suddenly, after shouting these three times, she felt immense satisfaction, an unspeakable pleasure in her heart.

It seemed as if she hadn't had enough!

Before such a crowd, she had called the Ancestor Jian Gu a "turtle bastard." At this moment, it was as if all her pent-up frustrations were released.

"Ah! Jian Qiong! I'll kill you! Ah!" Under the angry shout, Second Elder Jian Yuan seemed ready to dash forward and slay Jian Qiong.

"Jian Yuan!" At this time, Jian Yu shouted somberly at the Second Elder, "Calm down!"

If Jian Yuan charged ahead now, he would only be instantly killed by the four super-level powerhouses.

Hearing Jian Yu's shout, Jian Yuan did not charge forward. Then, he turned to angrily shout at Jian Ze, "Jian Ze, you've truly raised a fine daughter! Just because of you, all these years, you dare to covet the Jian Family Patriarch's position! Bah!"

At this moment, the Fifth Elder Jian Chou, floating beside Jian Ze, also spoke up: "I once hoped you, Jian Ze, would become the Jian Family Patriarch. Now it seems you, Jian Ze, are utterly undeserving!"

Facing the insults from Jian Yuan and Jian Chou, and the strange gazes from the Jian Family, Elder Jian Ze remained indifferent as if the insults were not directed at him.

"Haha, hahaha! Well scolded! Well scolded indeed!" At this moment, the crowd heard an old laugh resound once more.

Faced with Jian Qiong's harsh scolding, Ancestor Jian Gu laughed instead of getting angry.

"Ancestor!"

"Ancestor!"

"Ancestor!"

…

The people called out to Jian Gu, filled with helplessness, resentment, and sorrow. In countless hearts, it felt like being a tiger bullied by a dog once fallen from grace.

No one expected that the Jian Family, once a force intimidating the Small World, with Ancestor Jian Gu as one of the five super-level powerhouses, would fall into such a state today.

"I am fine! I am well!" In response to these cries, Jian Gu said.

Then, he continued, "Is there anyone else? If you don't want to die, leave my Jian Family quickly! If you continue on, you'll be implicated and killed because of our Jian Family."
