Chapter 125 A Difficult Battle With the Qin Family (2/2)

He continued, “When you find that place and meet Qin Zhan, give this to him.”

After saying what he wanted to say, Qin Zong threw a ring to Qin Yu. It was the Qin family Great Elder’s space ring.

It was obvious that Qin Zong was making arrangements because he had already decided to live and die together with the Qin family.

“As for me, I am Head of the Qin family. The Qin family exists, therefore I exist. If the Qin family no longer exists… heh” Qing Zong didn’t finish his words and let out a bitter laugh.

“Qin Zong, you’re a man. To be a family head is to have this kind of spirit.” Su Xiongfeng suddenly spoke out with this sentence; Fully-bearded, tall and robust men were usually straightforward people. “Laozi is someone who detests the Qin family. But detesting the Qin family is different from detesting you as the family head. You are a good family head, even better than laozi.

Su Xiongfeng thought of his own Su family head. It was fine if he didn’t manage to accomplish anything, but he had even become a captive and lived while struggling at death’s door. Compared to Qin Zong, his family head really made one feel ashamed.

Qin Yu looked at the ring and was about to say something when an elder of the Qin family came running frantically. The person in question hadn’t arrived yet but he had already started yelling and shouting, “Family head! It’s terrible, terrible!”

Qin Zong looked towards the elder. He was the elder that guarded the Qin family ancestral hall. Everyone in the Qin family called him Old Quan.

“Old Quan, what’s wrong? Speak clearly.” Seeing Old Quan in such a frantic state, Qin Zong had a premonition that something big had happened. But as the family head, he still had to act calm and pacify everybody.

Old Quan rushed over while gasping for breath. Even before he had said anything, tears had already started weaving down his face, “Family Head, the Seventh Elder’s life jade slip shattered! And just now, Qin Zhan’s life jade slip also shattered.” Old Quan started crying bitterly.

“What! Qin Zhan’s also shattered?” Qin Zong was unable to keep his calm, and his face instantly paled. He stumbled back a few steps, but fortunately, Qin Yu rushed up in a single stride to support him.

Qin Yu complexion at the moment was also not good, and his heart was extremely anxious. Qin Zhan should’ve been together with his parents. Now that something happened to Qin Zhan, his parents should not have arrived at their destination. He must find them now.

“Family head, now is not the time to be grieving! Quickly bring me to find my parents.” Qin Yu loudly roared. Right now, he had no time to slowly look for them. He must have Qin Zong personally lead the way so that he’ll be able to find them in the shortest amount of time.

Qin Zong shook a few times before he stood up straight and cried out in anguish, “Old Five!” The moment the words came out of his mouth, tears started pouring out.

“Stop crying, let’s quickly go.” Qin Yu planned to force Qin Zong to go with him.

“No!” Qin Zong threw off Qin Yu’s hand, and he cried out, “Qin Yu, I know you are worried about your parents. However, it’s not just you who has parents. A lot of people here also have parents. You care about your parents, but I care about the parents of everyone here. I cannot give up on them. If you want to bring me, you must also bring them along. Otherwise, I’d rather die in front of you.”

“You…!” Qin Yu became aggravated. Was this considered as forcing him?

“Hey, I say youngster, if you’re a man then you shouldn’t be so emotional. Give laozi a saber and laozi will be at the forefront of the charge.” Su Xiongfeng suddenly spoke up in a loud voice from the side.

Qin Yu choked up and stayed silent for a period of time. He could only accept things as they were. Now he could only risk his life, and even though he didn’t have good feelings for the Qin family whatsoever, his parents were currently in danger, so he must bring Qin Zong out safely.

On the other hand, Su Yinxue’s problem also had to be addressed urgently. She had been saved by Tie Shou’s men, so she must be at Tie Shou’s shop currently. The underground city’s army had already taken over Luosang City, and currently, the city was covered in wanton slaughter. Tie Shou’s situation would probably be similar to the current Qin family’s. They were definitely being attacked crazily, so he must reach there urgently.

These two disastrous situations ensured that he could no longer just sit around anymore. Besides, he didn’t want Su Yinxue’s father to have a low opinion of him.

Thus, he quickly made his resolution. He clenched his teeth as he turned to Qin Zong, “I’ll give you enough time to drink one cup of tea. Have everyone immediately gather together, I will open up the road ahead, and you’ll organize all the remaining people with fighting strength to protect the procession on both sides and keep order. Follow closely behind me. As for how far they can go, that’ll be up to fate.”

When he saw that Qin Yu agreed to evacuate the Qin family, Qin Zong was elated and immediately said, “Ok, this old man will do just that.” It was like he had taken stimulants as he rapidly turned around and left.

“Haha…, what a good youngster. You have guts. Laozi approves.” Su Xiongfeng grinned widely. However… when Qin Zong gathered everyone into the practice field, he could no longer keep his smile.

The Qin family was much much bigger than the Su family. Their history was much longer than his Su family’s. The Su family in total only had several hundred people, whilst just in this practice field, the Qin family had close to a thousand people. There were the old and the young, and unexpectedly, there were even a few pregnant women.

“This…” Su Xiongfeng previous heroic spirits had slipped away, and what replaced it was a face full of bitter hardship.

F*ck, they were supposed to be escaping, not going to visit relatives or going on a scenic tour!

This kind of big crowd, he was afraid that they’d squander half a day before they’d even leave the city, not to even speak of the wall of enemies blocking them ahead. There will also be countless pursuing soldiers as they attempt to flee.

“Your Grandma!” Su Xiongfeng fiercely ripped out a handful of hairs from his beard as a curse exploded from his lips.
