Emerald Cloud Peak.
Ever since the messenger disciple came up to report, Cheng Yu and the rest had a weird expression. Because a person who claimed to be Situ Yongkang wanted to go up the mountain to meet Chen Xinran.
Previously, when Cheng Yu brought Chen Xinran and the rest to Chen Tianxing to discuss their marriage, Cheng Yu had revealed it to Chen Tianxing.
He was enemies with the Situ Family. This was something that Chen Xinran naturally remembered.
Now that the Situ Family wanted to meet her, even if Cheng Yu didn't mention it, she would still reject it.
Actually, even if Cheng Yu didn't have any enmity with the Situ Family, it was impossible for her to meet a stranger here.
"Junior Brother Yu, unexpectedly, the person who came to the Chen Family this time is Situ Yongkang. If it's like this, it'll be troublesome!" Xinhe commented worriedly.
Previously in the Mirror Immortal Ruins, Situ Yongkang had formed an enmity with them. Furthermore, they had killed quite a number of Situ Family members.
Now, if Situ Yongkang were to see that the person Chen Xinran was going to marry was actually Xinluo, it would be very troublesome.
Although with Cheng Yu's current strength and trump card, he might not be afraid of the Situ Family, but once Situ Yongkang were to see them, this matter would definitely blow up.
When that time comes, it would be very hard to predict what would happen.
"Since it's unavoidable, we might as well eliminate the Situ Family. In any case, with Junior Brother Yu's current strength, eliminating a family is just a piece of cake!" Xinhai said indifferently.
"No, Brother Cheng. Although the nine great families are developing on their own and might even be suppressed by the other families, it's absolutely impossible for them to eliminate the other families. Especially when the nine great families are facing an external enemy, they would be a whole.
If you really want to eliminate the Situ Family, the problem will be very complicated. It's possible that our other families might also be involved. I hope Brother Cheng won't do it! "Chen Hongyuan was shocked by Xinhai's words.
It was because he was very clear of Cheng Yu's strength and trump card. If he were to really do so, the Situ Family might really be eliminated.
But if he were to do so, it would really be a mess!
"I didn't expect the nine great families to be so united. In my opinion, they are more like mortal enemies!" Xinhai said in disbelief.
Back when the Nangong Family held the Nine Family Tournament, he could tell that the relationship between the families wasn't that harmonious.
But now, Chen Hongyuan said that the Nine Great Clans were one entity. If one clan was destroyed, the other clans would unite? He didn't believe it.
"But that's the truth. The Nine Great Clans have always been in conflict, but it can only be considered internal strife.
The reason why the Nine Great Clans were able to survive was because the Patriarchs of the Nine Great Clans had formed an alliance long ago. Although we usually fight against each other, when there is an invasion, especially when there is a possibility of an aristocratic family being exterminated, the other aristocratic families must unite. This is the rule left by our ancestors! "Chen Hongyuan said seriously.
"But if they were really united, then why would they suppress the other aristocratic families? After being suppressed by them for so many years, most of the resources have gone to the Three Great Families. The other Great Families will be destroyed sooner or later. When that time comes, will they still save us? "Xinhai said.
"Aristocratic families suppressing each other has always existed. However, no matter how much the aristocratic families in front of them try to suppress each other, it has always been very difficult to destroy an aristocratic family. After all, there are so many Patriarchs. If they really force the other aristocratic families into a corner, then everyone will suffer!
In addition, the reason why the Nine Great Families can survive until now is because they were united during the Cultivation World War.
Although there might not be any Cultivation World War anymore, this rule has never changed, "Chen Hongyuan explained.
"If it's really like what you said, then this rule has not been implemented for a very long time. At that time, if an aristocratic family is really destroyed, I'm afraid that the other aristocratic families may not abide by this rule and help them! "Xinmei said.
"Senior Sister is right. I feel that this matter is just for show. I haven't heard of the Cultivation World War, but it should be something that happened tens of thousands of years ago. It's so long ago, and there won't be a Cultivation World War now. If we really want to destroy them, it will only be against the Situ Family and not the other aristocratic families.
Back then, the Nine Great Clans had united precisely because this so-called Cultivation World War concerned the survival of the Nine Great Clans. Naturally, everyone had to unite.
Now, as long as we annihilate the Situ Family, I don't believe that the other families will help. Then Brother Hongyuan, if we want to annihilate the Situ Family, will your Chen Family help? "Xinhai said.
"This … I don't know! But I will definitely not let the Chen Family take action against you! "Chen Hongyuan was stunned. This question really made him unable to answer.
On one side was the ancestor's rule, and on the other side was brotherhood. He really didn't know what to do.
However, what Xinluo and the others said made sense. The ancestor's rule had been around for god knows how many years. After such a long time, they might not care so much.
Besides, they only wanted to target the Situ Family. If the other aristocratic families knew how terrifying Cheng Yu was, they might not dare to take action against him.
As for him, even his life was saved by Cheng Yu. No matter what, it was impossible for him to send people to kill Cheng Yu.
To be honest, Cheng Yu was his benefactor. Although the Situ Family wasn't his enemy, they definitely didn't have a good relationship.
How could he attack Cheng Yu for the sake of the Situ Family?
However, this didn't mean that he would stand on Cheng Yu's side. If they were to really stand on Cheng Yu's side to deal with the Situ Family, they might be pushed aside by the other families. Therefore, he really couldn't think of what he would do when the incident happened.
"Don't make things difficult for Brother Hongyuan. We can't annihilate the Situ Family now." Cheng Yu spoke.
"Why?" Everyone was puzzled.
"The reason why we can't annihilate the Situ Family isn't because of the 9 great families, but because this matter might alarm the dynasty.
If we were to really annihilate the Situ Family, we would definitely expose some of our trump cards. If the dynasty were to know of this news, we might be targeted.
Therefore, we can't annihilate the Situ Family! "Cheng Yu explained.
"What Junior Brother Yu said is right. We have forgotten about the dynasty. This fellow's existence is much more threatening than the 9 great families.
Since it's like this, I feel that there's nothing for us to worry about the Situ Family. In any case, we aren't afraid of them.
If we don't annihilate them, can they annihilate us?
