As soon as Xu Youxun took over the formation flag, a powerful pressure came over him like an overwhelming force.
Everyone in the conference room was shocked.
"Listen up, Xu family! I'll give you three breaths to gather at the training grounds. If anyone hasn't arrived after three breaths, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Head of the family." Everyone's eyes turned to Xu Jinan.
"Let's go out first." Xu Jinan walked outside. Now they were in a stronger position than the other party, so they could only swallow their anger.
"Great Elder, I'm here." Hearing the Great Elder's voice, Jun Yiran shouted happily to the outside. With the Great Elder here, the Xu family's good days were over. And that kid who had trapped them, he was going to make him taste the consequences of meddling in other people's affairs.
The Great Elder descended from the sky and took a look at the formation in front of him. "Don't worry, Second Master. You'll be able to get out soon." The Xu family was really overestimating themselves by wanting to trap the people of their Jun family with just a small formation.
"Okay." Jun Yiran responded happily.
Seeing the Xu family members coming to the martial arts training ground one after another, the elders of the Jun family and the Zhao family laughed sarcastically.
"Unlock the formation for me." The Jun family's elder looked at Xu Jinan and ordered in a deep voice. Now that he was here, he would certainly not let the Xu family off easily. He would let them know how to write the word "regret."
Xu Jinan stepped forward and said, "Two elders, please don't go too far." He knew that even if he really opened the formation, the Jun and Zhao families would not let him go. Since the outcome would be the same, why should he humble himself in front of them?
The Jun family's elder snorted coldly, "I'm just going too far, what can you do about it? Open the formation!"
"You can open the formation, but you must first agree to let our Xu family members leave," Xu Jinan said. He had already allowed some of the Xu family's disciples to secretly leave the Xu family through the secret passage. The remaining disciples were unwilling to leave, but he would not let them die in vain. As long as he did not release the people trapped in the formation, he would have a bargaining chip in his hand, unless the Jun and Zhao families did not want those people's lives.
"Do you think you are still qualified to negotiate with us?" As the eldest elder of the Jun family spoke, he released a powerful pressure towards Xu Jinan.
Xu Jinan groaned, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. However, his gaze towards the Jun family's elder was unwavering. "If I die... the people from the Jun and Zhao families in the formation... will also be buried with me..."
The eldest elder of the Jun family was so angry that his face turned blue, "Do you think I dare not kill you?" If he had not been worried that the other party would activate the formation, he would have taken action long ago. Anyway, he had already made up his mind that he would not let any of the Xu family members go.
"Then you can give it a try..." Xu Jinan said. He had already made up his mind to live and die with the Xu family.
The Jun family's eldest elder snorted coldly, and the pressure increased again. He wanted to see how long Xu Jinan could hold out.
Feeling an even stronger pressure, Xu Jinan spat out a large mouthful of bright red liquid with a "Puff!", his body swayed, and he was almost pressed to the ground.
"Dad!" Xu Youxun shouted worriedly.
Xu Jinan's face was as pale as paper. He turned his head with difficulty to look at Xu Youxun and shook his head at him. Now was not the time to act. The disciples who had left the Xu family had not yet run far. They were the hope of the Xu family in the future. He had to buy time to buy them time to escape.
Xu Youxun lowered his head and said nothing more. However, his body was trembling slightly as he suppressed his anger and unwillingness. He had thought the Xu family was extremely powerful, but he had never expected such a major change to happen to them.
The elder of the Zhao family curled his lips in disdain and said, "Why make it so complicated? If he refuses to break the formation, we will kill him one by one until he agrees to break the formation." Anyway, these people of the Xu family will all have the same fate in the end.
"That's right." The Jun family's elder withdrew his imposing aura and looked at the Xu family disciple beside him. "Who should we start with?"
"Of course we'll start with whoever has the higher cultivation level." The elder of the Zhao family sneered.
Xu Youruo ran into the courtyard where Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan were waiting and knocked on the door vigorously, "Brother Zhan, Sister Su, come out quickly, two upper-immortal elders from the Jun and Zhao families are here." She had seen how powerful the upper-immortal elders were, which was something she would never be able to achieve in her lifetime.
Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue walked forward and opened the door.
"Let's go take a look." Zhan Yihan said. They knew the other party was so arrogant the moment they arrived.
"Brother Zhan, Sister Su, don't go. He's a powerful Upper Immortal, you can't handle him. Come with me, I'll get you out of the Xu family first." Xu Youruo led the way. Brother Zhan and Sister Su had already helped them once, and she couldn't let them get in trouble again. Her father had told her before that if anything happened, she was to immediately take Brother Zhan and Sister Su out of the Xu family's secret passage. Once she got them into the secret passage, she would return to share life and death with her father and brothers.
Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan left the yard and headed straight towards the martial arts training ground.
Not hearing any footsteps behind her, Xu Youruo turned around and saw Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan walking towards the training ground. She quickly caught up with them, "Brother Zhan, Sister Su, we're not going that way."
"We know." Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan continued walking towards the training ground. Of course, they would not leave at this time. Since they had decided to help the Xu family from the beginning, there was no way they would give up halfway.
"Thank you!" Xu Youruo looked at Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan with gratitude. At this moment, she didn't know what to say when she was able to choose to share life and death with her family.
The eldest elder of the Jun family and the elder of the Zhao family scanned the crowd and finally landed on the second elder of the Xu family.
"It's you." The eldest elder of the Jun family raised his hand, and the second elder of the Xu family flew out from the crowd without any resistance.
"Second Elder!" Everyone in the Xu family shouted in unison. They were filled with anger, helplessness, and even more sadness. Now they were just lambs to the slaughter, waiting for death to come, with no power to fight back.
The Second Elder tried to struggle, but his strength was far inferior to that of the First Elder of the Jun Family. He couldn't even move, let alone struggle. He closed his eyes in sorrow, waiting for the final moment.
"Second Elder!" Xu Jinan looked at the Second Elder, his eyes filled with resentment and anger. He wanted to rush forward to rescue the Second Elder, but he could do nothing and could only watch it all happen.
The Jun family's elder sneered and looked at Xu Jinan, "As long as you break the formation, he still has a chance to survive."
