The light in the eyes of some of the protectors behind Jianchen and many of the Divine King realm cultivators who had joined the Tianyuan family flickered. They either hesitated or struggled inside.
However, their hesitation only lasted for a few seconds. A few Divine King realm experts flew out from the crowd and clasped their fists towards Jianchen before leaving the Tianyuan family decisively.
Afterwards, more and more people left the Tianyuan family. Aside from the Divine King realm experts, there were many Overgods, Gods, and even Deities.
These people clearly understood the young star lord's identity and background through their communication techniques. After some consideration, they did not believe the Tianyuan family could endure the young star lord's fury, so they all chose to leave.
"Guang Yun, are you leaving as well?" A deep voice rang out from behind Jianchen. It came from an old man. He was one of the Primordial realm protectors of the Tianyuan family, known as protector Xing.
Jianchen was familiar with protector Xing. As a matter of fact, he had a rather deep impression of him. This was because when he and Shangguan Mu 'er returned to the Pingtian Empire, they had been stopped by four Primordial realm protectors of the Tianyuan family.
The four protectors were protector Xing, protector Bai, protector Mei, and protector Xue.
The four of them had always worked for the Tianyuan family. They were the Primordial realm experts who had truly contributed and worked hard out of all the protectors recruited by the Tianyuan family.
Guang Yun, who had been called out by protector Xing, was also a Primordial realm protector of the Tianyuan family. He was leaving the Tianyuan family.
Guang Yun was a tall, middle-aged man. He glanced back at protector Xing and shook his head with a gentle sigh. "That's the young star lord, the son of the Nine Brilliance Star Lord. How could I dare to oppose him? Patriarch, I'm sorry," Guang Yun clasped his fist at Jianchen apologetically before leaving without looking back.
In the blink of an eye, two of the eight Primordial realm protectors of the Tianyuan family had left, which made many of the senior members of the Tianyuan family gloomy.
No one paid too much attention to Guang Yun's departure. After all, although Guang Yun was a Primordial realm protector, he was only a Second Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime.
What truly disappointed them was protector Qi's departure.
This was because protector Qi was a Seventh Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, on par with protector Xue.
His strength was only inferior to Xu Ran and Jianchen in the Tianyuan family.
However, Qi Hui and Guang Yun were not the only protectors who left voluntarily in the face of the young star lord's pressure. Soon after Guang Yun left, two more protectors announced they were leaving the Tianyuan family.
With that, the number of protectors in the Tianyuan family directly decreased from eight to four. They were protector Xue, protector Xing, protector Bai, and protector Mei.
"Are the four of you still not leaving?" Jianchen looked back at protector Xue and the others and asked calmly.
"This is what I owe the Tian Yuan clan. I will stay behind and fight. I- if I accidentally die, please take care of the young master, patriarch," protector Xue said fearlessly. He no longer cared about his own life.
As he said that, he passed a divine hall he carried with him to Jianchen. He said sternly, "Our young master is in there."
Jianchen stared at protector Xue for a while. He did not answer. Instead, he looked at protector Xing, protector Bai, and protector Mei.
Protector Mei giggled. She stretched lazily and gave off an invisible charm. She stroked her hair coquettishly as she stared at Jianchen flirtatiously. She giggled, "I have confidence in the patriarch. I believe that the patriarch is completely capable of leading us through this crisis. The Tianyuan family will definitely soar. As a protector who has gone through this crisis with the Tianyuan family, the patriarch definitely won't forget about us once the Tianyuan family becomes the ruler of a plane."
"We believe in the patriarch as well!" Protector Xing and protector Bai said angrily. However, even though they said that, they were uneasy inside. They were unable to remain as composed as protector Mei.
"Protector Mei, can the Tianyuan family really survive this crisis? If the two of us listen to you and stay behind, we won't end up as corpses in the end, right? "Protector Xing and protector Bai asked each other carefully.
"I'm not confident about whether we can survive or not. After all, we're facing the young star lord this time. However, I don't sense any fear from the patriarch at all. Instead, extremely heavy killing intent is brewing in the patriarch's heart. I think the patriarch definitely has other trump cards, "said protector Xing and protector Bai to Protector Xing and protector Bai. Protector Mei sent a message to Protector Xing and Protector Bai. She carefully looked around and continued, "The most important thing is that none of the people who are close to the patriarch have left. They are all gathered here. Given the patriarch's righteous personality, if he wasn't confident, why would he let these people stay here and die?"
Hearing these words, Protector Xing and Protector Bai's spirits shook. Their hearts that were in a mess immediately became a lot more steady.
"Good! Good! Good! " Jianchen agreed. Even though he struggled to guess whether the four of them had stayed behind because they were truly willing to live and die with the Tianyuan family, or if they were just putting on an act, staying behind was enough at a time like this.
This was because staying behind meant offending the young star lord!
Afterwards, both the Tianyuan family and the Pingtian Empire lost people. From the Primordial realm protectors to the regular guards and servants of the Tianyuan family, they all left. In just half a day, the Tianyuan family's population plummeted by two-thirds. Less than a third remained.
As for the Pingtian Empire, all the provincial cities evacuated as soon as possible. The short-distance teleportation formations in the Pingtian Empire constantly flickered. There was a black mass of cultivators as well, basically forming a dark cloud in the sky.
"Patriarch, are we just going to let these people leave? If they stay, they'll be a force of strength. " A woman walked out from the crowd behind Jianchen. She wore tight clothes and held a whip in her hand.
She was Cheng Jingyun, originally an Origin realm expert from the World of Forsaken Saints. In the past, she had followed the Spiritking, Shen Jian, to the Saints' World with Jianchen. She had witnessed the founding of the Tianyuan family and was also one of the oldest members of the Tianyuan family.
Now, Cheng Jingyun had become a God under the nurturing of various heavenly resources. Even though her strength was basically at the bottom of the Tianyuan family, her rate of growth was one of the best.
After all, true geniuses only made up a very small portion of them.
"It's fine. Let them all go. When the battle starts later, we can reduce the losses of some innocent people," said Jianchen.
On the other side, the young star lord hovered in the air with a sunken face. He felt extremely unsatisfied. This was because he discovered that even though he had already achieved his objective, where both the Tianyuan family and the Pingtian Empire were losing a large number of people, where over two-thirds of the people had left the Tianyuan family, he did not see any expression that satisfied him at all from Jianchen's face.
This was because Jianchen remained calm the entire time. His emotions did not fluctuate at all. He seemed like he would not bat an eyelid even if a mountain collapsed. It was like he did not care about anything at all.
As a result, the young star lord felt like he had punched cotton, unable to exert any strength. It was like everything he had done was for naught.
"Hmph, just do it. Destroy the Tianyuan family. I want Jianchen and Shangguan Mu 'er alive," said the young star coldly. The young star lord snorted coldly. He no longer had the patience to wait. He felt like everything he was doing was pointless from Jian Chen's reaction.
"Don't we have to wait for three days? T- it's only been half a day, "said Wu Lu.
"We're not waiting anymore," said the young star lord coldly.
"Alright!" Wu Lu no longer said anything else. He walked out from behind the young star lord as his presence skyrocketed. His gaze became extremely cold as well.
This time, he planned on personally taking action to prove his loyalty before the young star lord.
"Young star lord, didn't you say that you would give everyone three days to leave? Less than a day has passed. Is the mighty adopted son of the Nine Brilliance Star Lord a person who goes back on his word? " Jianchen's mocking voice rang out from the other side. Secretly, his Martial Soul Force surged as he prepared to connect with the Martial Soul Mountain.
The young star lord did not reply, but Wu Lu was already prepared to take action. With just a thought, the clouds above the Dong 'an province immediately changed. Wild winds kicked up as devastating energy began to brew, causing space to distort and collapse.
With Wu Lu's cultivation as a Grand Prime, he did not even need to lift a finger to destroy an empire. All he needed to do was stand there and use the terrifying will of a Grand Prime to control the energy and laws of the world.
However, at this moment, a will even more powerful than Wu Lu's crossed over from afar and collided with Wu Lu's will heavily.
Wu Lu grunted and could not help but stagger a few steps back. The energy above the Dong 'an province immediately became chaotic before dispersing with the wind.
Wu Lu was about to launch a world-destroying attack, but it was forcibly interrupted by another top expert.
