"Jin Hao, are you sure we shouldn't take more people? If I am not wrong, the Rising Sun Sect and Shinning Moon Sect are going to take all of their elite elders and disciples. They will do everything to get that piece of meteor and this time, even Great Families will be involved because of them." The Sect Master Jin stood in front of his son and asked.
They were standing in the garden next to their mansion. Outside the garden, there were nearly dozens of people waiting. These were the people Jin Hao selected for the upcoming battle. There were Elder Su, Elder Chen, and even Elder Wu present.
"Yes father, we don't need more people. Numbers don't determine the outcome if you take weak. They are the strongest of our sect. And, bringing weaker people in the battle will only increase the casualties."
"But father, there is something that I want to tell you. Can we go back to our room?" Jin Hao's innocence surprised his father. Normally, Jin Hao speaks cold and arrogant but now he was speaking much more innocently which couldn't help but make him suspicious.
But, he still followed his son to the room. Surprisingly, Jin Hao took him to the room where he and his son used to sleep together when Jin Hao was small. This brought back some memories. He stared at his son's back deeply while following him.
A lot of emotions and feelings burst out in his mind. But soon, he realized Jin Hao wasn't even speaking. Even though they were already at the middle of the room.
"Son, you haven't talked about anything. What is it so secretive?"
Whoosh!
Just when he asked, he noticed Jin Hao's body slowly disappeared. This startled him. He hurriedly turned around and saw Jin Hao locking the door.
"Father, I'm sorry but I can't let you go there."
Click!
Saying so, he closed the door and several other runes illuminates around the door.
Bang!
"Jin Hao, don't be stupid. I am the strongest in the sect. Open the door!" Although his father screamed from inside while smashing the door, he couldn't hear them. The talisman was activated and the entire mansion had turned silent.
"Are you sure this is the right thing to do? He could be a huge help in the battle. And, it's not like his death matters..."
"Tian Su, don't bring that up! He is my father and I won't let him die…." From the side, Tian Su appeared while speaking but his words turned Jin Hao's eyes red with anger.
"Alright! Alright! Guess, you have found your family." Tian Su raised his hands and tried to calm down Jin Hao while agreeing to his words.
"Tian Su, I was an orphan in my previous life. In this life, I have a person whom I can call father. I will never lose him. This battle isn't going to be easy. Have you done your work?" Jin Hao clenched his fist while vowing to protect his father even if he had to lock his father down.
"Yep! Now, that old monster is going to use a forbidden art to increase his strength to Emperor Realm. Thank God, I sent my shadow with them otherwise we would be entering the battlefield blindly. By the way, I fear Qin Che is still hiding his strength."
"I mean his strength is still under our radar but his method is unknown. But on plus side, Guan Xing and Tan Ge are out of battle. I wished that God-Beast would have killed all of them but unfortunately, none of them died. And, there is another variable that we must keep our eyes on." Tian Su nodded his head and explained.
His words made Jin Hao confused as he asked "Who?"
"Guo Min! I am not sure but he seems to be suspicious of me. And, many times, he has hindered my way to obtaining more information from them. But, don't worry about him. I have a perfect plan to find out whether he is suspicious or not." Tian Su made a thumbs up to Jin Hao and made him reassured.
"Alright! Let's go then!" Jin Hao nodded his head and Tian Su slowly disappeared into the shadows.
After that, he came out of the mansion. He went straight to the gate and walked out in his graceful manner. He looked at the nearly fifty people in front of him and spoke.
"I know most of you are confused why so less people. But, the number doesn't determine the winner. You all are the strongest people in the sect and remember, we won't be facing them all by ourselves. We need to wait and strike. Others will fight while we will hunt."
Everyone saluted him with a bow and he slowly rose to the sky then floated towards the Saitou Forest. At this moment, Elder Chen suddenly spoke "Young Master, what about Sect Master? Where is he?"
"He is in the midst of breakthrough. He will join the battle in the middle. And, aren't I enough to replace my father in this task? Or, are you doubting my strength, Elder Chen?" Jin Hao turned and spoke with a deep and cold expression.
The innocent face that he had was only for his father. No one else was allowed to see it.
Hearing his words, Elder Chen was slightly startled. He noticed Jin Hao's tone is colder than usual. But, he didn't understand why. As much as he knows, Jin Hao never had a bad relationship with his father. So, there was no chance for him to injure his father.
But, he didn't love his father as well. He was too cold and arrogant to love anyone. That's why Su Ling never loved him or never agreed to be with him. But, he still followed Jin Hao alongside everyone else.
Inside the Tan Family,
"Wait, why are we going for the comet now? We can just escape, can't we?" Suddenly, Zhao Tan asked while standing next to others.
"We can't. This is the battle we must face. And, we have to keep Tan Family safe. The only way to do that is by defeating them. They might have a lot of forces but we aren't going to be defeated that easily. Each of us has something that they don't."
"And, we are going to use that. No holding back! No sparing the lives of our enemy! Once the battle ends, we will leave this place." Qin shook his head and spoke with great determination and fighting intent bursting out of his eyes.
"You know this is all what we want." Lan Ming turned his head at Qin and spoke.
Hearing his words, everyone smiled and nodded their heads.
"Alright then! Let's go!" Qin nodded his head and tilts while walking out. Everyone follows him and walks out of the room. Outside, they see Tan Family waiting for them. Tan San was standing in the middle.
He walked up to Qin and said "Tan Family depends on you! If you lose, we all lose."
Although these were just a few words, for Qin these words brought immense pressure on his shoulders. Qin nods his head and everyone else followed him. The lightning barrier had already disappeared.
But, there was no enemy in sight. Because everyone was preparing for it.
"Qin, look!" Suddenly, Guo Min pointed his finger at the sky and shouted.
At this moment, a huge piece of rock was falling from the sky. It was burning and falling with an insane speed. As soon as he saw that, Qin shouted "Alright! Let's go!"
Without wasting a single moment, Qin, Lan Ming, Zhao Tan, Guo Ming, Guo Min, Tian Su, Yue Bin, Liu Bing, Tan Ge, Tan Shui, Tan Xinyi, and Tan Jian ran out. As for Luo Xue, she was already gone when the barrier was lifted.
Till now, she might have even crossed the Saitou Region and entered the main The Great Ming Kingdom's capital. From there, she can take a sky griffin to travel to the Great Lin Kingdom. Normally, this is kind an expensive but for someone like her, it wasn't.
And, because of her family curse, she was still safe from Royal Family. And, also have some of the authority as a Great Family.
Qin and his team rushes towards the Saitou Region and followed the path where the meteor was falling. After just a few minutes, the meteor hits the ground in the middle of the Southern Part of the Saitou Region.
Bang!
"Everyone, bear the impact!"
The meteor collides and creates earthquakes. This has happened a lot in the past and Qin was quite familiar with this feeling. It's just that he wasn't aware of the Festival. After waiting for the impact, they chased towards the place where the meteor fell.
But, as they reach the place, there were already a few people arriving.
Battle Dragon Sect! Rising Sun Sect! Shining Moon Sect! Yu Family! Tu Family! And Zhen Family!
