Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

"What if what? Tell me!"

Xie Zuoye glared at him coldly.

This son, because of his exceptionally strong awakened talent, has always been groomed by him as the family successor.

It used to be quite good.

But ever since he died at Lin Yu's hands, he has become increasingly useless.

I panic at the slightest thing.

This disappointed him somewhat.

"What if the temple's leader and the magician reach a reconciliation in the end? Will our Xie family be abandoned as pawns?" Xie Haoran asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Xie Zuoye was startled.

Upon closer reflection, it's not impossible.

After all, the power that Yongzhou displayed upon entering the capital was far greater than that of the Xie family.

It could even be said that without the temple, Yongzhou could have wiped out the Xie family without lifting a finger.

"Father, there was a rumor that not long after the temple was founded, the magician wanted to become one of the ten pillars, but was rejected by that person. If we bring that up again now, who knows, that person might agree..."

"I've heard about this too."

Xie Zuoye's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

His son's reminder startled him, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

This might actually happen.

If Yongzhou becomes one of the ten pillars, then the Xie family will undoubtedly become a pawn, directly abandoned to appease the magician's anger.

"Knowing him as I do, he's capable of doing something like that."

"What should we do then?" Xie Haoran's face showed a hint of fear.

After becoming a Super S, he was full of confidence, believing that with his talent for plundering, he could eventually become the strongest and dominate the world.

So he became greedy for the magician and the master, and as a result, he was brutally killed.

After his resurrection, he still thought about revenge, and sooner or later he would cut off the flesh and bones of everyone in the Eternal Day and torture them to death.

Unexpectedly, news arrived at that moment.

He suddenly realized that Eternal Day was too powerful.

There are actually several people like him who are super sadists.

Almost all of the ten strongest warriors were mobilized, but they were overwhelmed and defeated.

"Dad, the magician is already heading towards our Xie family, what should we do?" Xie Haoran became more and more panicked as he thought about it.

"You piece of trash, what are you panicking for?"

Frustrated and distraught, Xie Zuoye shouted angrily.

"There's Blade and several Super S-ranks protecting us outside, what are you afraid of?"

"But didn't you say that person might be able to replace my Xie family as one of the ten pillars?"

"Who can say for sure what will happen next? At least, the person in question still has some sense of shame and wouldn't do something like that."

Xie Zuoye, as the head of a large family, is not strong in strength, but he is quite qualified in other aspects.

-

The Long family.

A middle-aged man with a powerful stride walked into Mr. Long's courtyard house.

As soon as the middle-aged man entered, he said to Mr. Long, who was watering flowers, "Second brother, Yongzhou has broken through the city gate's blockade and entered the Forbidden City."

He is Long Teng, the current head of the Long family and the elder brother of Mr. Long.

"Oh? So fast?"

Mr. Long was very surprised when he heard the news.

"Seven of the Ten Saints have gone, and they've already been defeated by Eternal Daylight so quickly?" His heart, which had been calm for decades, began to stir.

"We all underestimated Eternal Day."

Long Teng said, "Each of them is extremely strong. Although several of them may not have reached the Super S level, they are among the top in the S level. It's probably only a matter of time before they reach Super S."

"The top ten Saints, as well as the powerful members of those guilds, are all tied up right now."

"The magician, along with Lin Xiaoyou and Lu Qi, has entered the Forbidden City and is heading straight for the Xie family," Long Teng calmly explained.

"Three people dared to venture deep into the Forbidden City, directly confronting the Xie family?"

Mr. Long looked at Long Teng with surprise, seemingly doubting the authenticity of the news.

Lin Xiaoyou is a Super S, Lu Qi is at most an S-level, plus a Super S magician.

How dare someone with this kind of lineup barge in?

"The information is accurate; everyone saw it with their own eyes," Long Teng said.

"Okay, I understand."

Mr. Long spoke calmly, but noticed that Long Teng hesitated, as if he had something to say.

"What? Is there something else?"

"The one from the temple has sent a letter," Long Teng said.

His younger brother acts solely on his own whims; no one can make decisions for him, much less command him.

Even the one from the temple wouldn't do.

Therefore, he could only convey the words verbatim.

"What did the old man say?" Mr. Long asked, his eyes slightly narrowed.

He said, "Please, sir, make a move!"

Long Teng's forehead was covered in black lines.

The only person in the world who dares to call that old man is my own younger brother.

"The Magician only brought two people, isn't Blade's group enough?" Mr. Long frowned.

"That person said, please join in the attack, preferably take down the magician and his group instantly, so they can't even see the Xie family's gate. That would create the greatest deterrent effect."

Long Teng paused, then continued:

"Instead of fighting for a long time to take it down, that wouldn't have the effect of deterring super S-level powerhouses."

After listening, Mr. Long fell into deep thought.

"He wants to tell all the strong in the world that even a magician can't make a ripple in the Forbidden City," Long Teng said.

After all, each Super S-rank expert is too strong. If they were determined to leave, even sending three or four experts of the same level might not be enough to defeat them.

This also makes even the strongest warriors not so afraid of the temple.

"Alright, I'll take a walk now."

Mr. Long thought about it and agreed.

-

About ten minutes later.

Lin Yu and his two companions flew over three massive walls in succession and entered the fourth level area.

"That's the Xie family's base!"

The three of them flew over quickly.

On the rooftops of several buildings surrounding the Xie family's residence.

"They're here."

Blade narrowed his eyes as he watched the figure quickly appear in his line of sight.

He concealed his inner sword intent, quietly waiting for his prey to come to him.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiaoyou and Lu Qi had brought Lin Yu and landed steadily in front of the Xie family base.

The guard at the gate.

Seeing this scene, he was deeply shocked and hurriedly sent a message to his communication bracelet.

"Dad, the magician is here, right outside our base."

A flicker of fear crossed Xie Haoran's mind.

That powerful man, he has arrived.

"Let's go take a look."

A cold glint flashed in Xie Zuoye's eyes.

He is not worried about the magician now; with the temple there, the Xie family will naturally not be harmed.

What worried him was the matter that Xie Haoran had mentioned.

He had to nip that possibility in the bud.

"Magician, once you're dead, that possibility will cease to exist."

Xie Zuoye was filled with murderous intent.
