Chapter 561: Chapter 560, The Despair of the Xu Family

In the dining room of the Xu Mansion.

A dozen people gathered around, and the round table was filled with a variety of delicacies, looking very sumptuous.

However.

The Xu Mansion did not have the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

Instead, it was shrouded in a tense mood.

”Dad, why don’t you call that person and ask if he’s become the head of The Outer Eight Sects?” Xu Shaochun, weakly sitting in a wheelchair, suggested.

Xu Qingsong chuckled, ”No need to call. I sent ten grandmaster-level experts to escort him, and given his exceptional Gu Art, he’s bound to become the leader of The Outer Eight Sects.”

Regarding Tan Shou, he was full of confidence.

That was also his last hope.

”Master, something happened!” The elderly butler rushed over in a panic and whispered in Xu Qingsong’s ear, ”A severely injured person appeared outside, and it seems he is about to die. However, he said he wants to see you.”

Xu Qingsong frowned, showing displeasure, ”Who is it?”

The butler responded, ”A young man in his twenties!”

”Take me to see him!”

”Please, this way!” The butler gestured invitingly and immediately led Xu Qingsong to the front yard, where the severely injured person had already been carried in.

After all, tonight was New Year’s Eve, and if others saw a dying person outside, it would surely affect the Xu Family’s reputation.

When Xu Qingsong saw the critically injured Tan Shou, his pupils twitched fiercely, and he exclaimed, ”Young Master Tan? How could you be so seriously injured?”

Tan Shou’s injury was unexpected to him.

After all, his Gu Art was extremely strong, and Xu Qingsong had sent out ten Grandmaster-level Experts to protect him.

Yet...

Who could have imagined he would be so severely injured?

”Clan Leader Xu, my plan failed!”

”Failed utterly!”

Tan Shou gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred and unwillingness.

Xu Qingsong quickly inquired, ”What exactly happened?”

Tan Shou weakly replied, ”Xu Wendong, it’s all because of Xu Wendong! He is the Sect Leader of the Life-Seizing Sect and has now become the head of The Outer Eight Sects.”

”He is a Taoist sect expert. I’m no match for him!”

”Even so-called grandmaster-level experts... he can make them bleed from the seven orifices and die instantly with just a snap of his fingers!”

Boom!

His simple words gave Xu Qingsong a feeling of being struck by five consecutive lightning bolts.

Goosebumps rose all over his skin.

A sense of unprecedented crisis surged within him.

He never expected that Xu Wendong was from the Life-Seeking Sect.

Even less did he expect that he had already become the leader of The Outer Eight Sects.

At the same time.

He clearly realized.

The power Xu Wendong wielded now was not something the Xu Family could contend with.

Not to mention that he and War God Lord Fang were sworn brothers.

Nor the fact that three Great Grandmasters supported him.

The power of The Outer Eight Sects alone was enough to crush the entire Xu Family.

If Xu Wendong sought revenge, with the current strength of the Xu Family, they wouldn’t survive.

The intense sense of despair engulfed Xu Qingsong, lingering stubbornly, even as Tan Shou took his last breath before him without him noticing immediately.

When he came to his senses, he immediately ran toward the dining room and looked at the elderly butler behind him, ”Hurry, gather the pilot and crew, and escort all the clan members out of Jingdu now!”

As a top secular family in the Great Xia, the Xu Family naturally owned private jets.

What he intended now was to evacuate the entire clan from the Great Xia before Xu Wendong wielded his slaughtering knife against the Xu Family; otherwise, Xu Wendong wouldn’t spare the Xu Family’s elders and children.

”Yes, I will contact the pilot and crew right away!” The butler also realized the seriousness of the situation, aware that even though the Xu Family had endured for a thousand years, surviving multiple dynasties.

But now, even in a peaceful society, the Xu Family was on the brink of extinction.

”Father, what happened?” Observing his father returning with a pale face, the second son Xu Shaojie asked with concern.

Xu Qingsong glanced at Xu Shaochun in the wheelchair and sighed deeply, ”Tan Shou failed, he didn’t become the leader of The Outer Eight Sects.”

”Instead, Xu Wendong has become the leader of The Outer Eight Sects.”

His words struck like a thunderclap.

Leaving everyone in disbelief.

Followed by an endless well of fear and despair.

Once this feeling emerged, it would intensify because the Xu family had never experienced such a feeling.

Xu Qingsong commanded in an indisputable tone, ”Pack up and head to the airport, strive to leave the Great Xia quickly.”

Xu Shaochun asked, ”Dad, are you not coming with us?”

Xu Qingsong shook his head, ”If I leave, even if we escape to the ends of the earth, Xu Wendong will find us. Conversely, if I stay, you might still have a slim chance of survival.”

The hatred for a father’s killer is irreconcilable.

He knew that if he ran, Xu Wendong would never let it go.

Precisely for this reason, he decided to stay, willing to trade his life for the survival chance of his clan.

Just then.

His phone suddenly rang.

Xu Qingsong casually took out his phone. When he saw the caller ID displayed, his previously dejected gaze suddenly sparkled stunningly, and he grinned, ”Perhaps, we don’t need to leave the Great Xia anymore!”

Everyone was curious but dared not ask further questions.

Xu Qingsong went to answer the phone call from Ye Gucheng at the door, smiling, ”Congratulations, Master Ye, on breaking through the barrier to become the first to surpass a Great Grandmaster!”

Indeed.

The call was from Ye Gucheng.

When he received this call, he already had the answer—Ye Gucheng must have completed his seclusion.

Ye Gucheng laughed heartily, ”It was sheer luck.”

Xu Qingsong remarked, ”Isn’t luck also a part of strength?”

A hearty laugh resounded from the other end of the line.

Xu Qingsong changed the topic, ”Master Ye, your breakthrough came at a perfectly timely moment. If it had been delayed by another three or five days, my Xu Family would have faced extinction!”

Ye Gucheng wondered, ”What do you mean, Brother Xu?”

Xu Qingsong sighed helplessly, ”To be honest, my elder brother’s son has shown up, and not just that, he cultivated a technique from the Dragon Phoenix Creation Technique. His cultivation level is now extraordinarily strong, and many of our Guest Elders have perished by his hands.”

”Moreover, he has become the leader of The Outer Eight Sects, with the entire Outer Eight Sects heeding his commands now.”

Ye Gucheng marveled, ”Eighteen years to become such a formidable warrior—we indeed underestimated the potential of the Dragon Phoenix Creation Technique!”

”However, even if he becomes a formidable figure, so what?”

”I have long surpassed the barrier and reached the realm of the Unity of Heaven and Man.”

”In my eyes, he is like an ant, easily crushed with a flick of my hand.”

Xu Qingsong rejoiced, ”With Master Ye’s assurance, I am relieved.”

Ye Gucheng continued, ”There’s no need for such panic, Brother Xu. I will set off for Jingdu immediately. If that fellow dares to come, I will slay him and send him to reunite with Xu Qingshan in the underworld!”

”Great, I look forward to Master Ye’s esteemed presence at the Xu Mansion!” Xu Qingsong hung up with a smile, then turned to his family seated at the dining table, a grin blooming on his face, ”Eat and drink as you like; Xu Wendong will soon be nothing more than a corpse!”
