He directly knelt in front of Xiao Chen and begged. There was no other way. The Su Clan had already given an ultimatum. The Yan Clan had to leave Changle City within five days. Otherwise, they would attack the Yan Clan through Su Jin.
There was no other way out. Otherwise, Yan Kang wouldn't beg Xiao Chen like this.
Xiao Chen helped Yan Kang up with his own hands. He looked at Yan Kang and finally said, "If things are really as Senior Brother Yan Kang said, I can help. However, I can only protect the Yan family from destruction. I will not help the Yan family destroy the Su family."
"Really? Don't worry, Junior Xiao Chen. My Yan Clan has no intention of destroying the Su Clan. "Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Yan Kang was immediately overjoyed.
Xiao Chen did have a good impression of Yan Kang. Although they hadn't interacted much, from the surface, Yan Kang seemed to be the kind of person with a gentle personality. Whether it was the way he treated people or the way he spoke, they all displayed Yan Kang's gentle personality. People like this usually didn't like killing. At the same time, they were honest people. It was because of this that Xiao Chen agreed.
Finally, with Xiao Chen's help, the Yan Clan's crisis was resolved.
Unable to hide the excitement in his eyes, Yan Kang excitedly bowed to Xiao Chen and said, "Yan Kang will never forget Brother Xiao Chen's kindness. This time, I can make the decision to give the clan's sword seed to Brother Xiao Chen as a token of my gratitude."
Naturally, he knew that he couldn't let Xiao Chen help him for free. Therefore, Yan Kang decided to give the Yan Clan's heirloom sword seed to Xiao Chen as a token of gratitude.
Hearing the two words "sword seed," Xiao Chen, who originally had a calm expression, couldn't help but be moved. This sword seed was simply a peerless treasure.
It could only be born in places like Burial Sword Valley. It absorbed the essence of countless swords and was called a sword seed.
As for the Sword Seed, it was an irresistible treasure to any Sword Cultivator. There were simply too many benefits. As for Xiao Chen, the greatest benefit was undoubtedly the Heavenly Way Sword Embryo.
He had been tirelessly feeding the Heavenly Path Sword Embryo regardless of the cost. However, the Heavenly Path Sword Embryo that had devoured so many swords still hadn't changed much. Such a transformation speed was too slow. However, it would be different if there was a sword seed. It was hard to imagine what would happen if the Heavenly Path Sword Embryo devoured a sword seed.
He never thought that the Yan Clan would have a sword seed. Hearing this, Xiao Chen was filled with anticipation. This was definitely a great opportunity for him. It could greatly reduce the time needed for the Heavenly Way Sword Embryo to grow.
He didn't know that this sword seed was obtained by the Yan Clan's ancestor by chance. After that, it had been passed down from generation to generation. Now that it was a matter of life and death, the Yan Clan was willing to give it to Xiao Chen.
After all, the Yan Clan members weren't fools. They knew that ordinary treasures wouldn't be too attractive to Xiao Chen. It would be embarrassing to take it out. Looking at the entire Yan Clan, the only thing that could make Xiao Chen value was the sword seed. Therefore, the Yan Clan members gritted their teeth and agreed to give the sword seed to Xiao Chen to thank Xiao Chen for his help.
He set a time with Yan Kang and told him to find him at the Sky Sword Peak the next morning. Then, the two of them set off for Changle City.
Yan Kang personally sent Xiao Chen to the foot of the mountain and watched as Xiao Chen left. Only then did he turn around and use a Sound Transmission Talisman to inform the Yan Clan of what had happened here.
It was a very simple message. He only said that Xiao Chen had agreed to help, so that his father and the Yan Clan could rest assured. He would arrive at Changle City with Xiao Chen in three days' time.
After returning to the Dustless Residence, he told Qin Shuirou about Yan Kang's matter. After learning that Xiao Chen would be leaving tomorrow, Qin Shuirou didn't say much, although she was a little reluctant. She also knew how important the sword seed was to Xiao Chen.
Not to mention other things, just the sword seed alone was something that Xiao Chen couldn't refuse.
After a silent night, Yan Kang arrived at the Dustless Residence early the next morning. It was obvious that he was very anxious about the Yan Clan's matter.
Without wasting any time, Xiao Chen and Yan Kang left on the Great Golden-Winged Peng Eagle after informing Cang Xuan and Dao Master Danyun.
Setting off from Nine Firmaments Palace, with the Great Golden-Winged Peng Eagle's speed, it would take them three days to reach Changle City.
On the way, Xiao Chen took out a mask and put it on his face. The reason why he wanted to hide his identity was naturally because Xiao Chen had his own plans.
The current situation in Changle City was only Yan Kang's side of the story. His original intention was not to get involved in the battle between the aristocratic families. But this time, firstly, it was because of Yan Kang's pleading. Secondly, he only needed to protect the Yan Clan. He didn't need to deal with the Su Clan. Lastly, Xiao Chen was really jealous of the sword seed.
Combining the above three reasons, Xiao Chen agreed to help. However, Xiao Chen wasn't stupid. He didn't want to be used as a tool by others.
Since the Su Clan could force the Yan Clan to the brink of death with just Su Jin, the Yan Clan could also force the Su Clan to the brink of death with him. Perhaps the effect would be even better.
Therefore, before personally understanding the situation, Xiao Chen didn't want to expose his identity. He also didn't want others to use his name to do whatever they wanted.
Seeing Xiao Chen put on the mask to hide his identity, Yan Kang was not stupid. He quickly guessed Xiao Chen's intention. Yan Kang didn't say anything about it. After all, if the truth was as he said, then it didn't matter whether Xiao Chen hid his identity or not. In the end, it was fine as long as Xiao Chen could protect the Yan Clan.
Due to the urgency of time, the two of them didn't stop to rest along the way. After three days, the two of them finally arrived at Changle City.
They didn't directly fly into the city on the Great Golden-Winged Peng Eagle. Instead, they walked into the city and went all the way to the Yan Clan. As the two Patriarchs of Changle City, the Yan Clan's mansion was naturally extraordinary. However, perhaps because of the Su Clan, the Yan Clan's mansion had become deserted and desolate.
Under Yan Kang's lead, the two of them strode into the courtyard and went all the way to the main hall. At the same time, Yan Kang's father, the current Patriarch of the Yan Clan, Yan Muyu, was already waiting there with a group of Yan Clan's higher-ups.
They had already received Yan Kang's message. However, when they saw Xiao Chen wearing a mask, Yan Muyu and the others couldn't help but be slightly stunned. They didn't know what Xiao Chen wanted to do.
Xiao Chen whispered something to Yan Muyu. After that, Yan Muyu also understood what Xiao Chen meant. He didn't show any signs of anger. After all, the Yan Clan didn't have the right to be angry in front of Xiao Chen.
He bowed respectfully to Xiao Chen. In response, Xiao Chen nodded slightly and said indifferently, "Patriarch Yan, I can help with the Yan Clan's matters. However, I have a condition. No one is allowed to expose my identity."
Although Yan Muyu and the others already knew why he was wearing a mask, Xiao Chen still deliberately reminded them.
