Xing Residence.
The entire Xing Residence was filled with an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
In the main hall of the Xing Residence, several figures were seated and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
"Brother Xing, is there an urgent matter for you to call us over?"
Ye Liangchen, who was sitting beside Xing Yuhuan, had a solemn expression. Although he had always been under the protection of the Xing Family and had never left the residence, it was not difficult for anyone with a brain to imagine that the Xing Family was under considerable pressure from the outside world.
"This matter is a little difficult to deal with, I would like to arrange for you to leave Tian Long Imperial City temporarily."
Xing Yuhuan said with a frown, as if she had thought of something troublesome.
"Leave Tian Long Imperial City?"
Ye Liangchen frowned. Since Xing Yuhuan said so, it seems that the pressure from the outside world has made him unable to guarantee their safety!
"Brother Xing, if it's too far-fetched, why don't you just hand me over? As long as I don't reveal the formula, I don't think they will kill me." Ye Liangchen paused and said.
"Brother Ye, do you think I am an ungrateful person?!"
Xing Yuhuan frowned and said, "The few of you will only be leaving temporarily. After all, there are too many forces coveting the formula in your hands."
"As long as you leave Tian Long Imperial City, they will not dare to act rashly against the Xing Family."
"Brother Xing, we appreciate your good intentions …"
Although Xing Yuhuan said it so lightly, Ye Liangchen knew that the current situation was not as simple as Xing Yuhuan made it out to be.
Although the Xing Family had a deep foundation, there were four top forces that were not inferior to them in any way. There were also so many first and second rate forces that wanted to loot a burning house. No matter how strong the Xing Family was, they would not be able to withstand it.
"Our Xing Family has been around for so many years, just based on that motley crew …"
At this point, Xing Yuhuan looked into Ye Liangchen's eyes and was suddenly at a loss for words. In the end, he sighed and said, "I promised Qin Yichen that his brothers are my brothers."
"I believe that he will come back!" Ye Liangchen's eyes flashed with determination.
Xing Yuhuan also nodded and said: "I also believe that he will come back. However, it's better for you to leave the Imperial City for now. "
"Leave? Hmph, no one is allowed to leave! "
Fortunately, as soon as Yu Huan's words fell, a voice filled with anger suddenly rang out.
Soon after, four somewhat aged figures directly walked in from outside the hall. The guards standing at the entrance all bowed and greeted the four old men when they saw them.
These four old men were the four founding elders of the Xing Family!
"Xing Yuhuan, now that things have come to this, do you really want to sacrifice our entire Xing family before you are satisfied?"
After entering the hall, a Grand Elder frowned and loudly questioned Xing Yuhuan who was sitting at the head of the table. The dissatisfaction in his voice was obvious.
"Yu Huan, hurry up and hand over those people from Flyer. You've already done your best!"
Another Grand Elder beside the old man also earnestly advised him.
The two of them played the good cop and bad cop. Their words implied that they wanted Xing Yuhuan to hand over Ye Liangchen and the others.
In the face of the four Grand Elders' aggressiveness, Xing Yuhuan's expression gradually turned gloomy. He knew that although he had become the head of the Xing Family, these old men had never looked him in the eye.
They had even secretly spread the news that his cultivation was completely supported by elixirs.
"What if I say no?"
Xing Yuhuan slowly stood up from his chair. As his voice resounded, a terrifying aura faintly exuded from his body.
"If you persist in going about things the wrong way, then as elders, we have the responsibility to not watch you lead the Xing Family to destruction!"
Faced with this aura, the four Grand Elders' expressions changed slightly. However, this aura alone was not enough to scare them!
A thick smell of gunpowder spread, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely oppressive.
"Enough!"
Just as the atmosphere in the hall was tense to the extreme, an old voice suddenly resounded in the hall.
At some point, an old man with a head full of white hair had appeared in the hall.
"Grand Elder …"
Seeing this old man, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated. The four Grand Elders and Xing Yuhuan bowed slightly to the old man.
This old man was the Xing Family's Grand Elder … Xing Tianxiong!
No one dared to underestimate this old man.
It was rumored that when he was young, no one in the Empire could stop him. Although he had now retired behind the scenes, his position in the Xing Family was still unmatched.
"Gather all our forces. I want to see who dares to barge into my Xing Family!"
Xing Tianxiong's gaze swept across the hall as he said indifferently, "We've been quiet for too long. People think that our Xing Family is easy to bully."
Hearing his declaration, the four Grand Elders' expressions changed. However, they did not dare to doubt the decision of the Xing Family's spiritual pillar!
…
While the situation in Tian Long Imperial City was extremely tense, on the other side, in the Godfall Abyss, Qin Yichen was still working hard for the hope in his heart.
In the darkness of the Godfall Abyss, relying on the weak light of the amulet, he walked forward step by step.
With the protection of the amulet, although the journey was somewhat difficult, he did not encounter any fatal threats.
After walking for an unknown period of time, Qin Yichen's body suddenly stopped. His pupils suddenly shrank as he stared straight ahead.
In this darkness, even with the light of the amulet, his vision was limited to a few dozen feet.
At this moment, about two feet in front of him, there were chains as thick as the mouth of a bowl. These chains were similar to the chains on the iron chain bridge above the Godfall Abyss.
"These chains …"
Qin Yichen frowned and took a few steps forward. When he saw the thick chains, a solemn look rose in his eyes.
The reason for that was because there were mysterious runes appearing on the chains from time to time.
These patterns were unfamiliar.
Qin Yichen had never seen them before.
These mysterious patterns were engraved on the chains. Every time the chains shook, these patterns would light up and then the shaking would die down.
"Could it be that something is sealed in the Godfall Abyss?"
Qin Yichen looked at the chains with a solemn expression. He could not help but clench the amulet that the Nameless Elder had given him before he came in.
Then, he took a deep breath, raised his feet, and walked along the chain. Even if he knew that there might be great danger ahead, he did not hesitate in the slightest.
This was because he did not have much time left. If he was a few days later, even if he obtained the Great Bodhi Fruit, he would not be able to reverse the situation.
Moreover, he did not know how long the jade pendant that the Nameless Elder had given him could help him.
