Chapter 592: Chapter 592: Contempt? Disdain?
Within the elite Hao Family!
"What? Why would the Divine Dragon Guard act so impulsively? Are they really going head-to-head with the Guo Family? Are they out of their minds?"
"Damn it! If anything happens to the Divine Dragon Guard, all our families will be suppressed, and by then, none of us will escape blame."
Upon hearing that the Divine Dragon Guard really stormed the Guo Family, the Hao Family members were all in a panic.
Indeed, the hidden families have enjoyed peace in recent years partly due to the existence of the Divine Dragon Guard. The families gave the Divine Dragon Guard some face, and the Guard didn’t provoke the truly top families, maintaining harmony.
But, if the Divine Dragon Guard gets beaten badly and the secular world learns of the dominance of the hidden families, would they still let them have their way?
By then, the hidden families would surely face trouble and might even be suppressed by high-tech means.
"Quick! Assemble a team of experts and rush to the Guo Family, ensuring the safety of the Divine Dragon Guard at the crucial moment."
Hence, the Hao Family quickly dispatched a delegation to rush to the Guo Family, aiming to unite other families to forcefully secure the Divine Dragon Guard.
....
Moreover, many families understood this and sent experts, hoping to forcibly protect the Divine Dragon Guard from the Guo Family’s hands.
And aside from these families, even the Shi Family and the Zhang Family were alerted.
The Zhang Family, a top hidden family, inherits from the Ancient Wudang, with terrifying strength. They rank second only to the Shi Family among the hidden families, with little difference, enough to rival the Shi Family.
If they were to forcefully fight the Shi Family, the outcome is unpredictable, neither side having absolute confidence in victory.
Therefore, the two families have always been on equal footing, jointly leading the major hidden families forward.
"Do you think the Divine Dragon Guard has a chance?" Upon hearing the news, the Zhang Family members asked solemnly.
The Zhang Family has always had a good relationship with the Guo Family, fearing the Guo Family’s loss while being apprehensive about any misfortune befalling the Divine Dragon Guard.
"It’s a headache! Why did they have to clash?"
"Yes! What should we do?"
The other Zhang Family members also felt incredibly troubled, wanting to assist both sides but not knowing how to choose.
"In my opinion, the Divine Dragon Guard doesn’t have the strength to contend with the Guo Family. Why not intervene to stop the Guo Family at the crucial moment?" Someone soon dismissed the Divine Dragon Guard, suggesting.
"I say, the Divine Dragon Guard absolutely wouldn’t act so recklessly. If they dare come, they must have over fifty percent confidence. In my opinion, let’s wait and observe, intervene only after the result is clear, and not let them cause a disaster." But soon, someone proposed a different opinion.
Thus, the members of the Zhang Family began to debate over these two viewpoints.
"Stop arguing! Send a delegation to respond as needed, letting both parties hold back." Patriarch Zhang frowned and ordered.
Thus, the Zhang Family also dispatched experts to swiftly head to the Guo Family.
....
On the other side, the Shi Family’s opinion was more unified.
"Why is the Divine Dragon Guard so impulsive this time?" After hearing the news, the Shi Family Patriarch asked with furrowed brows.
"What should we do? The Divine Dragon Guard is a project we’ve strongly supported, the Dragon God received our inheritance. Will it just be destroyed by the Guo Family?"
"The Guo Family is truly audacious, knowing full well the Dragon God is ours yet showing no respect at all. I say, our Shi Family should intervene and teach the Guo Family a lesson."
"The Guo Family is backed by the Zhang Family. Do you know how good the relationship between the Zhang and Guo Families is? If we dare intervene, the Zhang Family will definitely retaliate, turning it into a four-sided battle, which isn’t the result we want."
Several in the Shi Family were agitated by the Guo Family, with some suggesting to teach them a lesson, but they were quickly stopped.
Indeed, if the Shi Family were to openly intervene, the Zhang Family wouldn’t sit idly by, and in the end, the Shi Family and Divine Dragon Guard would be at a disadvantage.
"Send someone to observe; if the Guo Family goes too far, give them a lesson. The Divine Dragon Guard members must be saved." After a moment’s silence, the Shi Family Patriarch also issued an order.
Thus, the Shi Family likewise dispatched experts to swiftly head to the Guo Family.
At this moment, all major families were stirred, sending experts to quickly head to the Guo Family.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng and the others were unaware of the stir they had caused.
Under Ye Feng’s lead, Ye Feng and the others directly assaulted the Guo Family, aiming to rescue Ye Qian.
Ye Qian couldn’t have imagined that because of her, such a commotion was caused among the hidden families, with notable families all rushing over.
If she knew, she’d probably be overwhelmed with gratitude.
Upon arriving at the Guo Family, Ye Feng and the others found that the Guo Family had withdrawn the outer guards, all gathering midway up the mountain and waiting.
On a large clear area midway up the mountain at the Guo Family’s residence, as Ye Feng and the others arrived, the entire Guo Family was already prepared, looking at the Divine Dragon Guard with mocking eyes.
"Hmm? It’s not just the Divine Dragon Guard people, why are there members from the Feng Family, Gong Family, and Situ Family too? How did these three families end up together with the Divine Dragon Guard?"
"Recently, the three families that rose strongly? They jumped from unknown families to become leaders among second-tier families?"
"That’s right, these three families beat the top ten second-tier families to a pulp, quite impressive at the time."
While observing the Divine Dragon Guard, some sharp-eyed members of the Guo Family noticed that the Divine Dragon Guard’s ranks included people from the Feng, Gong, and Situ Families, surprising them.
"Is this the Divine Dragon Guard’s confidence? Perhaps they’ve found allies? But they’re merely second-tier families; what do they have to contend with our Guo Family?"
"Exactly, they’re truly overestimating themselves, thinking they can act freely just because they dominate among second-tier families?"
"Since they want to die, let’s fulfill their wish."
However, the people from the Guo Family didn’t regard the three families highly.
In their view, these families were mere second-tier, unworthy of notice.
So, even with the addition of the three families, it was pointless, not considered a match for the Guo Family.
Seeing their arrogant expressions, Ye Feng and the others couldn’t help but smile inwardly.
They were eager to see the reaction, how colorful the expressions would be, when the Guo Family realized the true strength of Ye Feng and the others.
As the battle between the two sides was on the brink, members of various families had already arrived, hiding in the shadows and observing.
Seeing the three families with the Divine Dragon Guard, they were somewhat surprised but didn’t mind. Like the Guo Family, they believed the three families were merely second-tier, playing no significant role in this battle....
