Yuanshan City, Qian family.
As the only large family in Yuanshan City that possesses a warrior at the peak of the King Realm, the Qian family’s mansion stands at the core of the city, and the family’s important place is also built extremely luxuriously.
In the past.
When the Qian family members went out, they all held their heads high and chests high, enjoying the envious gazes of countless warriors in the entire city.
But all this.
All of them shattered in half a month.
Half a month ago.
The head of the family who went out for an adventure suddenly returned seriously injured, which shocked the entire family.
After all, the head of the family is the only king-level warrior in the entire family, but now he is seriously injured. If anything goes wrong, the family will face a devastating disaster.
Fortunately.
The master's injury is not incurable. He just needs time to recuperate and he will recover.
As for the precious treasure that he risked his life to bring back, it was an incredible surprise. If he could get it, the entire Qian family might become prosperous and become the top family in the Holy Land.
However.
For some unknown reason, this news suddenly spread and immediately attracted the covetousness of countless forces. However, those forces were afraid of the strength of the head of the Qian family, so they did not dare to act on their own.
But the Shadow King got the news from nowhere and threatened to force the Qian family to hand over the treasure, otherwise he would destroy the Qian family within three days.
Today is the second day.
Tomorrow is the three-day appointment that the Shadow King mentioned. If he really comes, how should the Qian family deal with it?
Although the head of the family has invited many friends.
but……
The Shadow King has killed a powerful man at the level of a God of War!
Not to mention that there were few people coming to help, even if there were, how could they be a match for the Shadow King?
Therefore.
Not to mention that the outside world is privately not optimistic about the Qian family, even within the Qian family, everyone is pessimistic at this moment.
…
Qian Mansion.
In the main hall.
At this moment, Qian Heng, the head of the family, was sitting in the main seat, listening to a report from an elder.
"Mr. Xu replied that he is currently exploring a secret place and is currently unable to come. He asked us to figure out a solution on our own!"
"After receiving the letter, the Soul-Snatching King immediately kicked out the people we sent out and even claimed that he had nothing to do with the Qian family."
"As for the Mahayana King, we can't find him anywhere. No one knows where he went."
"And King Megatronus...also refused."
Listening to the elder's report, Qian Heng, who was sitting in the main seat, looked even uglier. Because he was seriously injured, his face looked extremely pale.
He coughed lightly a few times, then said, "How many people are here now?"
"For now, only King Bishui and King Tumo have come. They have been arranged to stay in the guest rooms, but... judging from their expressions, they seem to have the intention to back out!" said the elder.
Listen to these words.
Before Qian Heng could even speak, an elder nearby couldn't help but shout, "These ungrateful bastards! When they were first helped by the Patriarch, they kept saying they'd definitely come if there was a demolition. But now that we really need them, they're all making excuses!"
"Especially the Soul-Destroying King. He was able to enter the King Realm because you, the Patriarch, explored the secret realm with him and personally helped him entangle a Level 7 ferocious beast, allowing him to successfully obtain the treasure. I didn't expect that he would now directly deny us that he had nothing to do with us. He is simply heartless!"
"King Zhentian was seriously injured, and it was you, the Patriarch, who provided him with your treasured elixirs and even offered him so many Yuanshi every year as an offering. But over the years, when faced with problems, you either evaded responsibility or let him off the hook. This time, you even directly refused. Doesn't he feel the slightest bit of guilt?!"
"good!"
"And the Mahayana King, if it weren't for you, the head of the family, how could he have the status he has today!"
"What a bunch of ungrateful wolves!"
"When something goes wrong, they just shirk responsibility!"
The other elders also spoke up, their words filled with anger.
Listening to what everyone said, Qian Heng couldn't help but clench his fists.
He was originally just a casual martial artist. When he was young, he got an opportunity and worked his way up from the bottom. Therefore, he was deeply accustomed to the cruelty between martial artists, and he also understood how much help a martial artist with power could get.
Therefore, when he entered the realm of king, he founded a family and made friends enthusiastically.
For.
Even if one day he died unexpectedly, these friends would help him take care of the Qian family. They were willing to spend a lot of money for this, and even caused many elders to complain.
But Qian Heng thinks it's all worth it.
If you make friends with sincerity, you will surely receive sincerity in return.
But who knew...
The scene he faced today made him deeply realize the fickleness of human nature and the indifference of the world.
"Forget it!"
Let out a long sigh.
Qian Heng waved his hands and said helplessly, "It's human nature to seek profit and avoid harm. Now everyone in the outside world knows that my Qian family has been targeted by the Shadow King. It's bound to be a dead end. They dare not come because they don't want to lose their lives in vain. There's nothing to say."
Finished.
He asked with some anticipation, "Where is my good friend Wang Cheng?"
"Wang Cheng agreed to come yesterday. According to the estimated time, he should have arrived at noon today, but... he hasn't shown up yet."
The elder shook his head and said pessimistically: "He probably won't come!"
Hearing this.
Qian Heng couldn't help but sigh.
The voice was filled with sadness and helplessness.
“Could it be…”
"Was it really wrong for me to make so many friends in the past?"
