246: Chapter 246 The major families are getting restless.

Following the arrival of these three old monsters from over a hundred years ago at Yunding Villa, many families became restless, especially those that had once been suppressed by Qin Chuan.

"I must take back everything that belongs to me!"

They each made vows as if they were sworn oaths.

However, before this battle began, everyone truly restrained themselves, quietly waiting for the start of the fight.

At this moment, the one most afraid was none other than the Qin Family.

The Qin Family had enjoyed the benefits of having a Land Immortal in their Family, but they also had to bear the associated risks.

If something happened to Qin Chuan, the Qin Family would surely be the first to be purged.

"This is terrible."

"Those are warriors from hundreds or thousands of years ago; Qin Chuan, on his own, might not be a match for them."

"If he loses, what will become of our Qin Family?"

"..."

The Qin Family began to panic.

"Calm down!"

Qin De's expression was grave: "During this time, everyone thought my grandson was finished, but how many times has he actually been finished?"

"This time, I believe in him!"

Having had several precedents, the Qin Family soon calmed down.

Perhaps this time, he could turn the tide just like before!

The Qin Family could only hope for that now...

Time flew by. A month passed.

Originally, everyone thought this battle would break out within three days, but unexpectedly, a month had passed, and there wasn't even a trace of Qin Chuan.

This caused many people in the Martial Arts World to start whispering.

Most people were convinced that Qin Chuan, in all likelihood, dared not return to Jinling.

"Haha... his nest has been occupied, yet he doesn't dare to come back?"

"Emperor Qin is nothing more than this."

"I thought I would be able to witness this battle, but it turns out Emperor Qin doesn't dare to return at all."

"..."

A month passed, and some families could no longer restrain themselves. For example, the Yu Family.

The Yu Family's patriarch, Yu Zhen, and his son, Yu Feiyao, had been killed by Qin Chuan back then because of Miss Jiang.

However, the Yu Family did not dare to retaliate, and the Old Ancestor even boasted that he could still have children.

Today, after learning that Qin Chuan dared not return, the Yu Family's Old Ancestor issued an order.

"Bring Miss Jiang to me; I want her to bear me a son!"

For this reason, the Jiang Family faced the enemy as if they were on the brink of destruction and began to resist.

The Jiang Family was also a Martial Arts Family, and after developing during this time, they still had the strength to fight the Yu Family.

After all, the Yu Family had suffered heavy losses when Yu Zhen and Yu Feiyao were killed. As one weakened, the other grew, giving the Jiang Family the strength to contend with the Yu Family.

Miss Jiang had long since returned to Jinling, and she looked toward the direction of Hong Kong.

"Qin Chuan..."

She did not believe that Qin Chuan was too afraid to return; he must have been delayed by something.

Once Qin Chuan returned, it would be time to settle accounts with these people!

It was not just the Yu Family. The Zhou Family from Zhongzhou had also rushed to Jinling; they were the first to pledge their loyalty to the three old monsters within this month.

Speaking of the Zhou Family, Zhou Hong had once set his sights on Yunding Villa, only to be slapped down to the foot of the mountain by Qin Chuan. His father, Zhou Yucheng, had conspired with the Ghost Sect to kill Qin Chuan, but failed in the end.

After the Zhou Family lost Zhou Hong and their patriarch, Zhou Yucheng, they had never recovered. Otherwise, the Zhou Family would have had the potential to become the number one Family in Zhongzhou.

Now that the three old monsters had occupied Yunding Villa, the Zhou Family naturally wanted revenge, so they came to pledge their loyalty.

"Reward them with spirit tea!"

Gu Xuanming was naturally generous in rewarding a cup of spirit tea to families that pledged their loyalty.

"Thank you, Senior Gu!" "Thank you, Senior Xiao!" "Thank you, Senior Gu Yinshan!"

The current patriarch of the Zhou Family was named Zhou Yulong, who was the younger brother of Zhou Yucheng.

They had long heard that this spirit tea was extremely expensive, now priced at nearly 200 million, and those without substantial wealth truly could not afford it.

Unexpectedly, the Zhou Family's defection had earned them a cup of spirit tea!

Of course, this was also the three old monsters' way of recruiting other Martial Arts Families.

If they would reward even a declining Martial Arts Family with a cup of spirit tea, wouldn't powerful Martial Arts Families be able to obtain even more spirit tea?

Suddenly, many families became restless.

Kunlun Li Family.

Some people within the Li Family could no longer restrain themselves; they had been thinking of revenge ever since they were suppressed by Qin Chuan. Especially Li Wanqing and Li Zaifei.

The Li Family's old master had already decided to go to Jinling to join the three old monsters, but the Old Ancestor stopped them.

"Do you really think Emperor Qin dares not come?" "Just wait!" "This battle will definitely break out!"

The Old Ancestor had spoken, so the Li Family did not go to Jinling, as they could not ignore the Old Ancestor's words.

And the Cao Family in Hong Kong.

"Father, Emperor Qin has not come out since entering Tianshu Holy Land; what is going on?" Cao Dian asked with some confusion.

Marshal Cao Tian shook his head: "I am not too sure either, but he is likely in seclusion."

"Is he really afraid to return to Jinling?" Cao Dian was still somewhat skeptical about this.

People under the Cao Family had already started to become restless.

But Marshal Cao Tian and Cao Dian were not that foolish; they were in Hong Kong, and Qin Chuan was also in Hong Kong.

If they picked a side, the first one Qin Chuan would destroy would be their Cao Family.

Of course, Qin Chuan might not truly dare to make a move against a military Family, but they did not dare to take that risk.

"Is it necessary for us to tell him about the situation in Jinling?" Cao Dian asked.

"No need." Marshal Cao Tian waved his hand: "The old monsters from a hundred years ago have emerged; do you really think Emperor Qin doesn't know? To go into seclusion while knowing the situation can only mean one of two things."

"First, Emperor Qin knows he is no match for them, so he has chosen to go into seclusion to see if he can make a Breakthrough."

"Second, Emperor Qin does not hold them in his eyes at all; even if everything in Jinling is occupied, he can just take it back once he comes out."

Currently, Marshal Cao Tian and Cao Dian were more inclined to believe the first.

... Jinling Military Region.

"Pfft..." Lu Chenshuang laughed: "Grandfather, could it be that Qin Chuan is too afraid to return to Jinling?"

Lu Zhengrong was also surprised.

Based on his understanding of Qin Chuan, he shouldn't be afraid to return. It was just that a month had passed, and there had been absolutely no movement, which was truly baffling.

"Tch, so much for that!"

Lu Chenshuang snorted: "I heard that after the three Seniors took over Yunding Villa, Qin Chuan hid in Tianshu Holy Land and never came out again. This is clearly because he is afraid that the three Seniors will kill him."

"Hehe, Grandfather, it seems we have overestimated this person."

"I think the reason he demanded to control Tianshu Holy Land for a year is that he had long anticipated that these old Seniors were coming for him, right? So he made preparations in advance, allowing him to hide in Tianshu Holy Land with a legitimate excuse."

Lu Zhengrong did not speak, but he always felt that things were not that simple.

At this moment. Yunding Villa.

Gu Xuanming, Xiao Huohuo, and Gu Yinshan, these three old monsters, had been waiting for a full month.

Yet they hadn't seen a trace of Qin Chuan. They had originally thought he would appear within three days, but a month had already passed.

"Emperor Qin, is that all???"
