Chapter 129: Collapse of the Qin Familys Young Generation (1/2)

.

“Old Tie, only you know the way around this tunnel. You and your people can lead the way for the rest of us.” Qin Yu seemed to have put himself in charge.

With so many people here, whether it be due to seniority or family position, it shouldn’t be him taking charge. However, in the martial world, the strong were respected. The terrifying strength Qin Yu had displayed made him their backbone, so even if someone was dissatisfied with his decisions, they wouldn’t dare to voice it.

“Elder Su, take Miss Yinxue and go with Old Tie.”

On one hand, he was saying Old Tie, and on the other, Elder Su. Tie Shou felt even more depressed.

Of those present, who hadn’t heard of Tie Shou? Even the most qualified Qin Zong had to be somewhat respectful to him, yet this stinking brat, Qin Yu, wasn’t even sparing him any face. Even if he wanted to call him Old Tie, don’t do it when everyone was around! If no one was around, he could even call him Little Tie for all he cared.

“You go first, Yun’er.” Qin Yu ignored Tie Shou’s gloominess.

“No. I’m not going until you’re going.” Although it was a simple sentence, her steely resolution was clear.

“Aish. Miss Qing, you and my daughter should go first. I’ll stay here with this little fellow,” Su Xiongfei reassured her with his loud, booming voice.

“No. If he’s not going, then I’m not going either,” Qing Yun insisted.

He sighed. “Child, you—” he was about to continue when Qin Yu interrupted.

“Alright. Yun’er, you can stay. The rest of you, follow Old Tie.” Time was ticking, and Qin Yu didn’t want to waste any more words. The dwarf army would reassemble and attack again soon, and if they sent an expert this time, none of them would be able to leave.

Truly, he was extremely worried about what was to come.

Suddenly, the shouts and screams of murder and tragedy resounded again. Someone from the Qin family rushed to the front and frantically reported to Qin Zong, “Family head, this is bad. The dwarves are attacking again!”

“What?” Qin Yu’s expression dropped. “Quick, enter the tunnel,” he urged.

“I’ll go intercept them, the rest of you hurry up and leave through the tunnel.” He flew up and hurried away, waves of murderous intent rolling behind him.

“I’ll go too,” Qing Yun quickly followed, and the two soon disappeared from sight.

Su Yinxue stared at Qing Yun’s beautiful departing figure with eyes full of envy. She was thinking about how nice it would be if she had that same heroic bearing. Right then, she made up her mind to learn martial arts.

“Quick, quick, get into the tunnel.”

After Qin Yu left, it was finally Tie Shou’s turn to take charge. He hollered in all directions and led the people into the tunnel.

“Xue’er, let’s go.” Su Xiongfei knew how serious the situation was, but he was too worried about his daughter’s safety to think of leaving to assist Qin Yu. He led his daughter into the tunnel.

There were around three hundred people fleeing. Most of them were from the Qin family, but there were also some civilians that they had picked up along the way.

Evidently, two-thirds of the Qin family had died during the evacuation. It was a cruel and tragic fact, but compared to other families, their family had the highest rate of survival in this disaster. For other families, surviving with even just ten family members was already considered fortunate.

The city manor contained the most people. The number of soldiers, officers, and servants totaled up to thousands. After the disaster, however, less than fifty of them were still alive.

Before the army of the underground city invaded, they were commanded that not even a single ant was to be let out. Little did they know that Tie Shou had dug secret tunnels that hundreds of people could easily escape through.

At this time, in the luxurious main hall of the city manor, three imposing dwarves entered. They were the masterminds behind the disaster, Yi Suo, Wu Ha, and Lamu Da. They were also the heads of the three major families in the underground city.

“Ha, such magnificence. As I thought, the world above is much better,” the fifty-year-old Yi Suo sighed as he glanced around the audience hall.

“Hehehe, you’re right. And now, all of this belongs to us. After all, how could those inferior human beings match such a noble place?” Wu Ha smiled proudly. He was a black-faced man.

Lastly was Lamu Da, whose body was as round as a ball. He cast a contemptuous look at the other two dwarves and snorted, “You’re both too easy to please. What does this place count for? There are plenty of places more beautiful and magnificent than this. We must continue our expansion and conquer more and more beautiful places.”

“Haha… not bad, not bad. As expected, Lamu Da, you are brilliantly far-sighted.” The other two dwarves laughed and agreed.

Yi Suo made a suggestion of his own, “According to the information my family has gathered, the closest cities from here are Luonan and Luobei. I suggest that we dispatch two teams to immediately conquer and occupy those cities.”

“Good suggestion, I agree,” Wu Ha immediately said.

“I also agree,” Lamu Da echoed.
