King of Assassins-Chapter 688 - 515: Welcome_2

Qin Wu glanced at Qin Fei, signaling let's hurry and leave. The old man had made up his mind, there was no point in playing humble anymore.

Qin Fei, however, did not look at Qin Wu. Being scolded by the old man in person was embarrassing, but compared to the survival of the family, those were small matters.

He lowered his head and said, "Sir, everything you said is right. But if you don't make a move, the Qin Family will really be finished."

"Oh?"

Qin Shiyue smiled again, "So if the Qin Family is finished, it's my fault?"

Qin Fei was flushed with embarrassment, but he was unwilling to give up just like that.

He continued, "Augustus, the Jin Family, they only left one Golden Powerhouse as a puppet, and the middle and high ranks were all purged. With such ruthless measures, even if the family surrenders, it will suffer severe damage. It might even be completely destroyed."

Qin Fei paused and emphasized, "If we lose the battle and the rest of the Qin Family surrenders, the Nine Provinces Cauldron, such a Divine Artifact, would surely be handed over to Gao Xuan. How will you deal with it then?"

"I'll just act as an elder to him, would he not agree?"

Qin Shiyue said slowly, "If Gao Xuan refuses even that, then we'll fight to the death."

Qin Fei felt a bit clueless; this old man was extremely slippery.

He had said everything, but the man just didn't want to make a move. What could he do?

He thought for a moment and said, "Sir, you don't need to make a move. I have arranged a duel with Gao Xuan in Xianyang. This man is extremely arrogant and will definitely come to fight me. By then, please assist me by wielding the Nine Provinces Cauldron."

Qin Shiyue sighed, "We are of the same clan and family, after all, real relatives. It would be too heartless if I refused to help."

Hearing Qin Shiyue say this, Qin Fei and Qin Wu both breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the old man had agreed to intervene, he wouldn't sit back and do nothing once they failed in the battle.

These two, although selfish, still had a sense of responsibility.

Of course, it would be best if Qin Shiyue, the Ten Thousand Worlds Sword, could take action. They both felt they were a notch below Gao Xuan.

Without cheating, there was almost no chance of winning.

Qin Fei said, "Sir, I suspect that Gao Xuan has a supreme Divine Artifact, enabling him to withstand the Divine Artifacts of each family. I'm afraid even the Nine Provinces Cauldron might not hold him down."

"His Sword Artifact is extremely powerful, very powerful."

Qin Shiyue watched the silver-clad figure of Gao Xuan on the screen and couldn't help but sigh.

Two hundred years ago, he would have loved to fight such a master.

Qin Fei hurriedly and respectfully asked, "Please enlighten us, sir."

"From the Source Power level displayed in the video, it's about the same as yours. It's just that his Swordsmanship is too strong, and the Sword Artifact is too strong."

Qin Shiyue shook his head slightly, able to break through the Protective Force Field of a Space Battleship with a single sword; this sword indeed has earth-shattering power.

If it were him doing it, it would be the same.

But Gao Xuan is still young and has an infinite space for growth in the future. He, however, is old and weathered, struggling to survive with the Nine Provinces Cauldron. How can the two be compared?

Thinking of this, Qin Shiyue lost interest and waved his hand at Qin Fei and Qin Wu, signaling that they could leave.

Returning from the Nine Provinces Cauldron to the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Qin Fei and Qin Wu could only look at each other and smile bitterly.

They never expected that Qin Shiyue, whom they relied on as their trump card, was unwilling to act. Moreover, it was not that the opponent was deliberately putting on airs.

Both could see that the old man simply had no interest in taking action. Like a salted fish passing the time, as long as he could live, he wouldn't jump around unnecessarily.

Qin Fei said solemnly, "Gao Xuan alone with one sword can annihilate a Space Fleet. This completely changes the existing structure! The significance of this is enormous and far-reaching..."

The video lasts only a few dozen seconds, seemingly very simple. But the meaning revealed is too important.

Under normal circumstances, even an Upper-tier Gold Powerhouse cannot confront a Space Fleet head-on.

A powerful armed fleet requires enough financial and human resources. This is also the biggest advantage of the Noble Family.

An individual can rely on unparalleled talents to become an unparalleled powerhouse. However, an individual powerhouse cannot confront a fleet head-on.

This means that no matter how destructive an individual powerhouse is, they pose no threat to a fleet and thus cannot change the existing power structure.

Individual powerhouses also need rest, and they inevitably have relatives and societal connections. Individual powerhouses can wreak havoc at will but must bear the cost of that havoc.

A powerful fleet can restrain individual powerhouses, thus forming a strong foundation for a stable society.

Yet Gao Xuan showed through actual action that even the strongest fleet cannot restrain him. This undermines the existing foundation of power and breaks the balance.

The consequences of this are extraordinarily frightening. It is more terrifying than Gao Xuan's destruction of Augustus and the Jin Family.

In fact, seeing this video, the senior members of the major Noble Families understood this truth.

The Yuan Family in the Iron Horse Star Realm and the Liu Family in the Chang'an Star Realm are both a bit panicked now.

The high ranks of these two families are meeting all day, urgently discussing countermeasures.

The problem is that there is currently no means to restrain Gao Xuan.

No one dares to claim they can certainly defeat Gao Xuan, and now the fleets can't cope with him, which makes it even scarier.

Considering the unrestricted Gao Xuan rampaging through the Star Realm, everyone feels uneasy.

Including the traditionally tough Yuan Family, they are also beginning to reevaluate their strategies for dealing with Gao Xuan.

For this reason, Yuan Ancheng was scolded severely by the high ranks of the Yuan Family.

Yuan Ancheng, along with Yuan Wuxian, participated in the Sword Dao Finals because Yuan Ancheng believed Gao Xuan was rebellious by nature and exceptionally powerful, and such a person had to be eliminated.

Therefore, the Yuan Family adopted high-pressure measures against Gao Xuan.

In fact, the Yuan Family had no deep-seated animosity with Gao Xuan. It was just that Yuan Wuxian was defeated by Gao Xuan in the finals, which, strictly speaking, wasn't even a big deal.

But now, Gao Xuan has launched a brutal vengeance on each family's enemies.
