223: Chapter 223 Cao Tian's Decision

Silence!

The entire Tianshu Holy Land fell quiet.

Before Qin Chuan arrived, whether it was the Cao Family or others, everyone had been full of confidence, believing they could surely surround and kill Qin Chuan within Tianshu.

But now?

The confidence was gone, truly gone.

Because everyone unanimously believed that the only person capable of battling the current Tianshu Holy Land was Ye Kunlun!

And then...

Ye Kunlun's head was right before their eyes.

Good heavens!

No wonder Qin Chuan took so long to arrive at Tianshu Holy Land; he had first made a trip to the Ye Family, beheaded Ye Kunlun, and only then came to Tianshu Holy Land.

What should they do now?

It would be one thing if he could kill Ye Kunlun in such a short time, but the key is that he also arrived at Tianshu Holy Land. Heaven knows how terrifying Qin Chuan's combat power is right now.

One must know, in everyone's eyes, Ye Kunlun was a powerhouse of the God Realm level.

Now that Qin Chuan has killed a God Realm expert, does it mean he is also at the God Realm level?

At this moment, everyone remained silent, their gazes fixed intently on Ye Kunlun's head, before looking up at the helicopter above.

Although Marshal Cao Tian could not see Qin Chuan's figure, he felt as if he could see the other's mocking and contemptuous smile.

Thump!

"Old Ancestor!!!"

At this moment, Ye Yinghao and the others all fell to their knees and wailed.

Their voices broke the silence of Tianshu Holy Land at this moment.

The Old Ancestor being killed meant that something had already happened to the Ye Family.

How could Ye Yinghao and the others not be heartbroken, how could they not wail?

The death of the Old Ancestor meant the destruction of the Ye Family!

Ye Yinghao and the many Ye Family powerhouses who came to provide support immediately realized one thing: they might be homeless.

At this moment, Marshal Cao Tian and the many Heaven-Grade warriors were at a loss as to what to do.

Should they attack?

Or should they not?

To be honest, if they attacked a powerhouse capable of killing Ye Kunlun, the risk would be far too great.

Even if they were victorious in the end, Tianshu Holy Land would have to pay a heavy price, and that would only allow Lu Zhengrong to reap the benefits.

This was not what the Cao Family wanted to see.

Therefore, for Tianshu Holy Land, it was now a bit of a dilemma.

They could neither advance nor retreat.

Because Tianshu Holy Land had entered a situation where defeat was inevitable.

Yes.

From the moment Qin Chuan killed Ye Kunlun, Tianshu Holy Land was already doomed to defeat.

A Land Immortal indeed cannot contend with Tianshu Holy Land, but a God Realm expert can.

As the saying goes, even if Tianshu Holy Land defeated Qin Chuan today, the price to be paid would certainly be enormous, and by then, Lu Zhengrong would only need to send people to reap the benefits.

Because by that time, Tianshu Holy Land would have no strength left to resist.

While everyone was silent, the helicopter slowly descended. Qin Chuan stepped out of the helicopter, arrived at the high platform, and looked at Marshal Cao Tian and the others.

"I am truly sorry. You specially sent someone to pick me up, but I ended up being delayed for a while."

Qin Chuan smiled: "It was mainly because I went to kill Ye Kunlun on the way, which caused a bit of a delay."

Marshal Cao Tian's mouth twitched, but he didn't know what to say.

He had specially sent people to pick up Qin Chuan precisely so that the moment Qin Chuan arrived, they could surround and kill this scoundrel.

But how could they kill him now? This guy was definitely a God Realm powerhouse!

Originally, Marshal Cao Tian had hoped that after Qin Chuan killed Ye Kunlun, he would have paid a significant price and might even be severely injured.

As it turned out, looking at him now, he seemed perfectly fine.

"I... is the Ye Family destroyed?" Ye Yinghao looked up at Qin Chuan, not daring to show hatred in his eyes, only wanting to know the answer.

Qin Chuan glanced at him and said indifferently: "Only Ye Kunlun died."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yinghao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He knew very well that Qin Chuan was the type of person to wipe out an entire Family over a slight disagreement.

What he didn't expect was that after killing the Old Ancestor, Qin Chuan actually did not wipe out the Ye Family; this was truly unexpected.

But it also allowed Ye Yinghao to completely set his mind at ease.

To be honest, he didn't have any feelings for this Old Ancestor; if he died, he died. At most, the Ye Family would no longer reach its former Peak.

But Family members were different; there were emotional bonds there.

This was also why, after Qin Chuan killed Ye Kunlun, no one from the Ye Family dared to come for revenge.

When it came down to it, it was just that they didn't have any feelings for this Old Ancestor.

With Qin Chuan's appearance, the many soldiers on the square were staring intently at this Land Immortal on the high platform.

Up until now, they still didn't know what exactly had been thrown out just now, which seemed to have changed the battle situation in an instant.

According to what they thought, Tianshu Holy Land should be attacking and surrounding him right now.

But quite a while had passed, and yet they simply hadn't made a move.

Until this moment, Marshal Cao Tian finally spoke: "General Qin, please!"

Huh?

This statement left many soldiers with faces full of confusion.

What is going on?

How did it become "please"?

Shouldn't it be an order to kill right now?

This left all the soldiers in Tianshu Holy Land completely confused, utterly failing to understand what was going on.

Immediately after, Marshal Cao Tian's voice resounded throughout Tianshu.

"From today onwards, General Qin will take over Tianshu Holy Land!"

"He..."

"is your supreme superior!"

In just a few short minutes, Marshal Cao Tian had already made a decision.

That was to voluntarily step down.

Fighting to the death with Qin Chuan, only to have Lu Zhengrong reap the benefits in the end—this was not what he wanted, nor was it what he wanted to see.

Because for the Cao Family, it was already a situation of inevitable defeat.

Tianshu Holy Land would definitely be taken over. The Cao Family no longer had the strength to continue managing it.

However, voluntarily stepping down could at least preserve the Cao Family's strength and the Cao Family's military lineage.

Although the Cao Family lost control of Tianshu Holy Land, here in Hong Kong, the Cao Family remained a military Family and still existed as a top-tier Family!

With Marshal Cao Tian's words, everyone was extremely shocked.

Had this encirclement and killing ended before it had even begun?

What on earth happened on the high platform?

All the soldiers looked in unison at the young man standing on the high platform with his hands behind his back.

After today, there would be only one voice in Tianshu Holy Land, and that is... Emperor Qin!

When the many soldiers saw that the figure was very young, perhaps even younger than many of them, they were all amazed.

He couldn't be more than twenty-something years old, right?

Yet he already stood at the Peak of Dragon Kingdom Martial Arts, at the Peak of Tianshu Holy Land; this was also the Peak of power!

On the helicopter, Ning Yu let out a long sigh of relief. Marshal Cao's decision was correct, because she had witnessed with her own eyes how Ye Kunlun was killed.

If they had really tried to surround and kill him, Tianshu Holy Land might not have existed anymore!

Immediately after, like the other soldiers, she stared blankly at Qin Chuan's figure. She didn't know why, but the initial hatred in her heart was gone.

So young, yet standing at the Peak of power and martial arts...
