However, before she could ask for help, Xiao Chen cut her off with a wave of his hand, "Don't worry, wait a little longer. These are just the vanguard. The real mastermind hasn't shown himself yet!"
"Ah? There's someone else? "Xu Dairong was clearly stunned.
She then asked hesitantly, "Is the mastermind stronger than you, Big Brother Xiao Chen?"
"No!" Xiao Chen smiled.
"Then... then..." The little girl wanted to ask why Xiao Chen didn't just expose the mastermind if he wasn't as strong as Xiao Chen. However, the words lingered on her lips for a while before she decided not to say it out loud.
Even though Xu Dairong was still young and inexperienced, she still knew the basics of etiquette. It was extremely impolite to say something like that out loud, not to mention that Xiao Chen's current status had made Xu Dairong feel a sense of respect for him.
She no longer dared to shoot her mouth off like she did before.
However, as she watched more and more members of the Xu family die, the little girl's eyes became misty.
In particular, when she saw her father, Third Uncle, and the others begin to bleed from their injuries, the little girl felt extremely uncomfortable.
Although Xiao Chen could tell what the little girl was thinking, he did not take the initiative to say it out loud.
He didn't plan to uncover the person behind the scenes that he mentioned in one go.
Xu Dairong was very talented and had a special constitution. Xiao Chen was indebted to her for saving his life, and she had a good heart. Therefore, Xiao Chen wanted to help her. Xu Dairong was a good girl, and she had a good heart. Xiao Chen wanted to help her.
However, the little girl had been too well protected by the elders of her family in the past and did not like to cultivate. Therefore, Xiao Chen wanted to use this incident to make the little girl realize how tragic it would be if she could not become a strong cultivator in the cultivation world.
That was why Xiao Chen didn't do that even though he could have just shown up and sent the Cui Clan's people away from the very beginning. He wanted to use this cruel battle to make Xu Dairong realize these problems. Only then would he be able to stimulate the little girl's desire to cultivate.
The battle continued. Xu Sheng and Jian Zhichen fought with Bi Teng. Although Xu Sheng used the secret technique to temporarily raise his cultivation to the peak of the Reversion Realm and had the power to fight, as time passed, the duration of the secret technique began to end. His strength also began to slowly fall, and he was even weaker than before. He was no longer a match for Bi Teng.
When Xu Fei Zhang, Jian Wenxing and the rest saw this scene, bitter expressions appeared on their faces. If Xu Sheng and Jian Zhichen were defeated, then even if all of them joined forces, they still wouldn't be a match for Bi Teng. At that time, the fate of their two great families could be imagined.
On the other hand, Cui Bo and the rest of the Cui Family were all beaming with joy.
"Hmph, I asked you to surrender earlier, but you refused. Now, aren't you all going to become slaves?" Cui Bo and the Cui Family's elders were very proud.
Almost at this time, Bi Teng also defeated Xu Sheng and Jian Zhichen in one fell swoop.
"Relying on external forces to forcefully increase one's strength is ultimately just an external object. It's unreliable!" Bi Teng said coldly to Xu Sheng.
"Cough, cough, the winner takes all. There's nothing more to say!" Xu Sheng coughed out a mouthful of blood and shook his head with a sad expression.
Today, he had no choice but to fight!
If he fought, there would still be a chance of survival. If he didn't fight, then there wouldn't even be a trace of hope!
Even though that sliver of hope was now completely gone.
However, Bi Teng didn't kill them immediately. Instead, he used his powerful magical power to imprison them.
Then, he said to Cui Bo, "Cui Bo, I'll leave the rest to you. Finish it quickly!"
"Yes, my lord!" Cui Bo instantly became excited.
Then, a golden piece of paper suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Old Devil Xu, Old Devil Jian, this agreement was signed by the previous generation's Old Master. It's a life oath. After that, we also signed the same agreement. If you obediently admit that the agreement is invalid, from now on, this Dark Heavy Gold mine belongs to the Cui Family alone. I can still consider letting all of you live! Otherwise, don't blame me for not taking into account our many years of friendship and killing all of you here! "Cui Bo shook the paper in his hand and said coldly.
"You'll let us live?" Hearing Cui Bo's words, Xu Fei Zhang and the others were stunned!
How could Cui Bo be so kind?
"Hmph, as long as we have the Dark Heavy Gold mine, the overall strength of the Cui Family will increase greatly in a few years. We don't need the little bit of wealth from your two families. Actually, killing all of you won't do us any good. So, as long as you admit that the agreement is invalid, I'll definitely let you live. Of course, the condition is that from now on, everyone from your two families must leave Anshou City!" Cui Bo snorted coldly.
Xu Fei Zhang, Jian Zhi Chen, and the people from the two families behind them fell into silence when they heard this.
Although they said that they would rather die than submit!
But now that there was a way out, how could they be willing to die?
Moreover, this way of survival did not require them to become slaves. It only required them to give up the foundation that the two families had built over the years and leave Anshou City.
To be honest, this condition was far more lenient than they had imagined.
So, even Xu Fei Zhang and the others, even the ancestors of the two families like Xu Sheng and Jian Zhi Chen, could not help but fall into deep thought.
They had to treat this condition seriously. Although from the bottom of their hearts, giving up the foundation that they had built over so many years and leaving the place that they had lived in for so many years was something that no one was willing to do, it was nothing compared to their lives.
This ending was far better than what they had imagined.
Suddenly, Xu Sheng raised his head to look at Cui Bo and said in a low voice, "If … you really mean what you say, then we agree to this condition!"
"Ancestor!" At this moment, everyone from the Xu Family exclaimed in shock.
Xu Fei Zhang said, "The Dark Heavy Gold mine is the result of the hard work of many of our ancestors. If we give it up now, we'll be letting our ancestors down!"
"Idiot! Do you think I'm willing? But if I don't do this, the entire Xu Family will be annihilated. If that's the case, I won't have the face to face my ancestors in the underworld! "Xu Sheng shook his head and sighed.
Xu Fei Zhang was momentarily stunned. Then, he lowered his head and fell silent.
How could he not understand this logic in his heart? It was just that when he really had to make this kind of choice, his heart still felt very uncomfortable.
