The Chu family.
In fact, the Chu family had been paying attention to certain matters.
When they learned that the Heavenly Profound Emperor had been killed by Xu Fengqiu, they were also very panicked.
They couldn't imagine how this could have been done.
This was not good news.
The Chu family was not stupid either.
They could clearly consider many things.
The Sect Leaders of the Divine Machine Sect and the Myriad Poison Sect had already come.
"Patriarch, what should our Chu family do now?"
At that time, they helped the Heavenly Profound Emperor because they felt that the Heavenly Profound Emperor's side had enough crushing advantages.
But now, they didn't expect such a situation.
"From the content that Wan Yannian and Mo Wenfeng came to the Chu family to discuss, it can be seen that they don't have many ways to deal with Xu Fengqiu now."
Chu Yuan, the head of the Chu family, said with a solemn expression.
"Yes, our Chu family is now one of their few top-tier helpers. They are now very afraid that the Chu family will not stand on their side. However, what they said in some ways makes sense. With Xu Fengqiu's vengeful personality, Xu Fengqiu will definitely not let go of our Chu family for attacking them in the past. Instead of letting Xu Fengqiu defeat us one by one, it's better to join hands to resist from now on."
Chu Yuan sighed.
That's not a problem.
But…
To be honest, he couldn't see anything trustworthy about Wan Yannian and Mo Wenfeng.
Before, when the Heavenly Profound Emperor was still around, he hadn't defeated Xu Fengqiu.
Now that the Heavenly Profound Emperor and the royal family are gone, how can they fight?
Logically speaking, even if they withstood Xu Fengqiu's offensive, the losses would be continuous.
"Patriarch!"
At this moment, a figure walked over.
"Speak."
"The Hao Ran Immortal Emperor has arrived."
Hearing the visitor, their brows furrowed slightly.
"Hao Ran Immortal Emperor?"
The ancestor of the Chen family, Hao Ran Immortal Emperor.
Originally, the Chu family and the Chen family had grievances.
But at this critical juncture, the arrival of the Hao Ran Immortal Emperor most likely represented the Eternal First Divine Sect, and not the Chen family.
"Please."
After a while, the Hao Ran Immortal Emperor walked in.
"Hao Ran Immortal Emperor, you have come all the way to my Chu family. I wonder what for? Please sit down."
Chu Yuan said.
"As for what for, I think you should know in your heart."
The Hao Ran Immortal Emperor sat down.
"Where is that old fellow Chu Cang?"
"The ancestor is in seclusion."
"Nonsense, what time is it, and he still has the mind to seclude himself? Let him come over to talk, you can't make the decision on this matter alone."
Chu Yuan pondered for a moment and said to a person beside him: "Go and invite the ancestor over."
"Yes!"
Someone poured a cup of tea for the Hao Ran Immortal Emperor.
Chu Yuan said: "Senior, what exactly is it for? Please speak first."
The Hao Ran Immortal Emperor took a sip of tea and asked: "Mo Wenfeng, Wan Yannian, they should have already come, right?"
Chu Yuan said: "What are those two doing at my Chu family?"
"Alright, I'm here, don't beat around the bush with me. The situation in these Nine Provinces is very chaotic but very clear."
"The Myriad Poison Sect and the Divine Machine Sect, although they have a powerful alliance, in the current situation, their alliance cannot willingly pay huge losses to be enemies with the Eternal First Divine Sect. In short, they are afraid."
Chu Yuan said: "But these Nine Provinces are not something that can be recklessly defied."
The Hao Ran Immortal Emperor laughed: "It seems that the Chu family head is not sincere."
"The Eternal First Divine Sect also doesn't seem to have any sincerity."
"Since the Eternal First Divine Sect can let me come, it means that I came with sincerity. Alright, since the Chu family is not sincere, then I will go back."
The Hao Ran Immortal Emperor then stood up.
Chu Yuan frowned.
"The Hao Ran Immortal Emperor came and went in a hurry. If it spreads out, people will think that my Chu family is narrow-minded and doesn't treat guests well."
A voice suddenly came, and then an old man walked in.
He was the ancestor of the Chu family, Chu Cang.
The Hao Ran Immortal Emperor smiled: "You came quite quickly."
Chu Cang said: "Please sit down."
"Then let's talk again."
The Hao Ran Immortal Emperor sat down.
Chu Cang then went straight to the point: "Hao Ran Immortal Emperor, you should be hoping that the Chu family will stand on the side of the Eternal First Divine Sect, right?"
The Hao Ran Immortal Emperor said: "Not hope, but to give the Chu family a chance to choose."
Then he continued: "Honestly, the Chu family standing on the side of the Myriad Poison Sect will bring some trouble to my sect, but it's not a big deal. It will only slow down the pace of destroying the major sects, but that's all."
"If that's the case, then why come to my Chu family?"
"There are still many smart people in this world. Since it's possible to reduce an enemy through a meeting, why not do it?"
The Hao Ran Immortal Emperor said.
Then he continued: "The Chu family has been dragged onto this boat. It's very simple for the Chu family to get off the boat, it just depends on the Chu family's intentions. I think the current situation is still very clear. I think that in the face of big rights and wrongs, some small grievances are nothing. Of course, unless you don't have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, or you have confidence, then it doesn't matter."
Chu Yuan glanced at the ancestor Chu Cang.
Such a decision brings about the life and death of the entire family.
And how to choose?
In fact, it's easy to choose.
If they didn't think it was easy to choose, Wan Yannian and Mo Wenfeng wouldn't have come to the Chu family so anxiously.
From the Chu family's perspective, there's really nothing difficult to choose. It just depends on whether they are willing or not, whether they are stubborn or not.
"What can the Chu family get from this?"
Chu Cang asked.
"Get what? Getting the stability of the Chu family, isn't that enough?"
"Hmph! Do you really think that my Chu family is at the mercy of others?"
The Hao Ran Immortal Emperor said: "It doesn't matter, the power to choose is in your hands. I came here to give you such a chance. Since you don't want it, then I'll take my leave first."
"Wait."
Chu Cang called out to the Hao Ran Immortal Emperor.
"What exactly does the Chu family need to do?"
The Hao Ran Immortal Emperor: "Nothing specific, stand on the side of the Eternal First Divine Sect, and destroy the Myriad Poison Sect and the Divine Machine Sect."
"Alright, the Chu family agrees to this matter."
Chu Cang said.
No one spoke.
"Alright, then I hope our alliance can be effective. Farewell."
The Hao Ran Immortal Emperor then left the Chu family.
"Ancestor, they are simply not taking my Chu family seriously."
Chu Yuan said unhappily.
Yes, he also knew the current situation, and he knew even more clearly that the Chu family's choice should be the most correct one.
But…
"Is there a way? What is driving all of this now is Xu Fengqiu, not Wan Yannian and the others."
Chu Cang said.
"Regardless of anything else, just the fact that Xu Fengqiu was able to kill the Supreme Immortal Emperor so easily means that Wan Yannian and the others have very little chance of winning this war. What we need to consider is not emotions and face, but the life and death of my Chu family."
