"I asked him too, but he remained evasive. He just told me to stay away from this trouble and go to Tianhai, where he would protect me secretly. Then the call ended." Shen Siying shook her head.

"So will you go to Tianhai?" Chen Peng looked at her grandmother with concern. She was the youngest and had a simple mind.

She was worried that her grandmother might leave alone among the three major families, but at the same time, she hoped her grandmother would go to avoid everyone's death. Her feelings were quite complex.

Shen Siying smiled and patted Chen Peng's head. "If grandma wants to leave, she's already on her way to Tianhai."

Chen Peng thought for a moment and said, "What if, when the second patriarch of the Zhang family arrives, you tell him who you are? Maybe he'll be wary of the Hua family and not dare to do us any harm."

Shen Siying sighed. "That's useless. The Zhang family is no weaker than the Hua family. Moreover, the two families have a poor relationship. Even if I reveal my identity, the Hua family may not acknowledge it. And even if they do, the Zhang family won't show mercy. Instead, they might use me to humiliate the Hua family even more."

"That doesn't work either. Is there really no solution at all?" Chen Xi said irritably.

Shen Siying was used to Chen Xi's temper and didn't take it personally. She said, "There is a solution."

The women's eyes lit up as they asked in unison, "What is it?"

Shen Siying explained, "We can hand Yue over to the Zhang family and let them do what they want. We can also get the Warriors Alliance to act as witnesses. If someone does something wrong, they should bear the consequences. Then the Zhang family will have no reason to harm us."

"No way!" The six women shook their heads firmly. Even Chen Peng, who usually didn't get along with Wang Yue, agreed.

Chen Xi became even angrier. "Grandma, are you really going to sacrifice Wang Yue?!"

"Xiao Xi, don't talk to Grandma like that!" Ling Xueyan scolded. But her own look at Shen Siying was also one of disappointment.

Chen Xi ignored her mother and continued to stare at Shen Siying angrily.

"I just said it's a possible solution. I didn't mean to do it for real. Otherwise, I would have done it already. Although Yue is now at the Gui Zhen Realm, I'm sure I can defeat him." Shen Siying said, "Xiao Xi, do you really think Grandma is such a selfish person?"

Chen Xi realized she had misunderstood her grandmother. She apologized, "Grandma, I'm sorry. I was just too worried about Wang Yue. Please forgive me."

"Suspecting grandma just because you care about Wang Yue?" Shen Siying said sternly, but then she laughed. "Girls grow up too quickly."

"Grandma, you're teasing me!" Chen Xi complained coquettishly.

The women laughed.

But this lighthearted atmosphere didn't last long. Soon, they fell back into silence. The pressure they were facing was too great to bear.

Chen Yao seemed unable to tolerate this situation. She stood up abruptly and said, "Why worry so much? We can fight back. With the combined strength of our three major families, even if we die, we'll at least take one of them with us!"

"You're right. Everyone has to die sooner or later. A few more years or a few less years doesn't make a difference." Wang Yuqi agreed with her daughter.

Although her statement was strange, after all, they were all warriors. Their lifespan was not limited by a few extra years. Even if they stopped improving from now on, they would still live for at least a hundred years.

But the other women agreed with her. Thus, their decision was final.

Meanwhile, the Su family also gathered together to discuss this matter. Their conclusion was the same as the Chen family's: the survival of the three major families depended on each other!

Only Su Mengqing, who had come back specially, had a different opinion from the others.

Who knew Wang Yue best at this moment wasn't his mother, but his aunt Su Mengqing and his twin sister Wang Xin'er.

Su Mengqing knew that Wang Yue was now at the eighth level of the Gui Zhen Realm or even higher. With his combat skills, even if he faced someone from the Die Fan Realm, as long as it wasn't someone at the third level or above, he could still fight.

Even if he couldn't win, he could at least escape.

As long as Wang Yue, that powerful individual possessing the combat skills of the Defiant Mortal Realm, manages to escape, the Tianhai Zhang family will not dare to take any reckless actions against the three major families.

After all, a powerful being at the Defiant Mortal Realm who is unattached to anyone and hidden in secrecy is an extremely terrifying threat.

Furthermore, based on her understanding of Wang Yue, although this young man is still young and has the tendencies typical of his age, he is by no means someone who acts impulsively without considering the consequences.

She believes that Wang Yue did what he did to Zhang Lingfeng out of concern for Chu Mo. But she would never believe that he acted out of sheer impulse, without thinking about the implications of his actions.

In fact, she even suspects that Wang Yue took that opportunity deliberately to do so.

Of course, this is just a suspicion; there is no certainty, because she cannot think of any reason why Wang Yue would act in that way.

Apart from Su Mengqing, Su Mengyun also looked troubled, as if she was hesitating and struggling with something inside herself.

However, neither of them expressed what was on their minds, and they simply went their separate ways.

In contrast to the three major families that were immersed in gloom, the Zhang family of Jinling was filled with celebration and joy. They had already received news that people from the Tianhai Zhang family had arrived, and their lineup was extremely strong – even a powerholder who had transcended the Mortal Realm was among them.

While there was some concern among the Zhang family of Jinling, their feelings were mostly ones of excitement.

The reason for their worry was that Zhang Lingfeng had been defeated by Wang Yue right under their noses; if the Tianhai Zhang family pursued the matter further, they would not be able to escape responsibility.

As for their joy, well… with such a powerful lineup, it would be nothing but a matter of minutes to destroy the three major families of Jinling.

And since they were cooperating with the Tianhai Zhang family, they would then become the true masters of Jinling.

This news was secretly spread, and it alarmed all the martial forces in Jinling. As a result, most of these martial forces came to the Zhang family's residence that very night; the remaining few chose to wait and see what would happen.

As for those who were willing to support the three major families and stand by them… not a single one was to be found.

This is precisely what the Zhang family desired. Firstly, it allows them to proclaim their new dominant position in Jinling.

Secondly, it serves to prevent the three major families from resorting to desperate measures.

After all, the three major families are far stronger than the Zhang family. If they really lose their temper and decide to bring the Zhang family down with them in death, the Zhang family simply cannot withstand such a blow.

Now that so many forces have gathered around the Zhang family, it will be much harder for the three major families to take action.

As long as they hold on until the people from the Tianhai Zhang family arrive, everything will be settled.
