Chapter 1874 - 1874 1864 Return to Misty Rain Building

1874: Chapter 1864: Return to Misty Rain Building 1874: Chapter 1864: Return to Misty Rain Building “Because of the grudge between the Chu Family and the Muye Clan, you all got involved.

How about this, I now invite you to join the Chu Family, what do you think?”

Chu Yuqin pondered for a while before finally revealing her true intentions.

The three brothers, Long Yan, were all exceptionally gifted, true geniuses.

Such individuals joining the Chu Family would be a great benefit to the family.

“We brothers have no plans to infiltrate the Chu Family.”

Long Yan outright rejected the offer.

“The Muye Clan is powerful, and compared to them, Misty Rain Building is utterly vulnerable.

With your current strength, if the Muye Clan targets you, you’re practically facing certain death.

Moreover, Young Master Yao Ye comes from Demon Desolation Mountain, and he has the support of a powerful Demon King behind him, even more beyond your ability to deal with.”

After a pause, Chu Yuqin continued, “If you join the Chu Family, we can provide you with protection and cultivation resources.

You can focus on cultivating in peace, and once you’ve grown strong, it’s not too late to leave the Chu Family.”

As one of the hegemons of the Eastern Wasteland Plane, the Chu Family could certainly protect the three Long Yan brothers.

In the eyes of Long Yan, Long Chen, and Zhan Wushuang appeared a contemplative look, as what Chu Yuqin had proposed was not without reason.

“If you insist on leaving, I won’t stop you, and I will certainly repay the favor I owe you,”

Chu Yuqin said.

Having said this much, if the three Long Yan brothers still refused to join the Chu Family, she would not insist on inviting them by force.

“We three brothers can join the Chu Family, but we have two conditions,”

After considering for a moment, Long Yan said to Chu Yuqin.

“What conditions?”

Chu Yuqin asked, her heart slightly relieved.

As long as Long Yan was setting conditions, there was hope.

As long as his conditions weren’t too outrageous, she would agree to them.

“First condition, we brothers are being hunted by Misty Rain Building mainly because of Wang Cheng.

He framed us, and I want him dead,”

Long Yan stated.

Wang Cheng must die, whether Chu Yuqin agreed or not.

After leaving the Netherworld Poison Forest, he would kill Wang Cheng himself.

Killing Wang Cheng would make dealing with the Life-threatening Poison Master troublesome, but he could not worry about that anymore.

If Chu Yuqin agreed to this condition, with the Chu Family’s strength, they could completely handle the Life-threatening Poison Master, leaving him without concerns.

“This…”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuqin frowned slightly.

She had already invited Wang Cheng to join the Chu Family, and now he was one of them.

Moreover, Wang Cheng had given her a Jiaolong Pearl, which helped her break through to the True God Realm, and that too was a favor.

If she killed Wang Cheng, it would affect the reputation of the Chu Family.

“If this is difficult for Miss Chu, then forget I mentioned it,”

Long Yan switched his tone, using a tactical retreat.

“Fine, I can agree to this condition,”

Chu Yuqin weighed her options and made a decision, saying, “But you will have to kill Wang Cheng yourself.

As for the Life-threatening Poison Master, I will find a way to deal with him.”

If Wang Cheng were to be killed, it would involve the Life-threatening Poison Master.

As long as the Chu Family wasn’t directly responsible for killing Wang Cheng, it could be justified.

As for the Life-threatening Poison Master, Chu Yuqin did not consider him a threat at all.

Long Yan nodded, then immediately said, “The second condition is that we brothers join the Chu Family only as Guardians.”

Being a Guardian was Long Yan’s second condition.

“This…”

Chu Yuqin’s expression suddenly changed.

She understood all too well what Long Yan’s condition implied.

As Guardians, they would enjoy the Chu Family’s cultivation resources but not be subject to the Chu Family’s commands, free to leave at any time, and obligated to act only when the Chu Family faced existential threats.

The intention behind Long Yan’s request to be a guardian was crystal clear; he did not want to be bound by the Chu Family.

This condition was far more difficult to agree to than the first one.

Chu Yuqin weighed the pros and cons in her heart, and after about the time it takes for one breath, she made her decision.

“Alright, I agree to your terms.

Once you join the Chu family, you will become guardians of our family!”

Eventually, Chu Yuqin chose to accept Long Yan’s request.

The talents of the three Long Yan brothers were exceptional, and with the Chu family’s nurturing, given time, they would definitely become powerhouses, not entirely without merit for the Chu family.

Such individuals should be won over.

“Miss Chu, are you in a position to make such decisions?”

Long Chen asked, his tone laced with skepticism.

“Of course I’m in a position to make this decision.

You have no need to doubt that.”

Chu Yuqin spoke assertively.

In the current state of the Chu family, she held absolute authority.

Now that she had agreed to these terms, the three Long Yan brothers were henceforth guardians of the Chu family.

“I don’t have a guardian token on me right now.

Once we get to the Chu family, I will provide you with one.”

Chu Yuqin said.

An identity token was a symbol of one’s status.

“That’s not urgent.”

Long Yan remarked.

“Then let’s head to Misty Rain Building first.”

Right away, the group of four set out from the Netherworld Poison Forest and made their way to Hengshui City.

………

Hengshui City, Misty Rain Building.

In the Great Hall, Mu Chongyang was pacing back and forth, his expression incredibly grave.

Even several Elders of Misty Rain Building had personally gone to look for Long Yan’s whereabouts, but up until now, there had been no news.

Once Chu Xiong and Chu Yuqin returned from the Netherworld Poison Forest, if he was unable to hand over Long Yan, Misty Rain Building would likely face a major disaster.

“Damn Long Yan, I haven’t treated you poorly, yet you’ve pushed Misty Rain Building to the brink of no return.

You better hope I never find you, otherwise, I will tear you to pieces.”

Mu Chongyang said coldly, his hatred for Long Yan seeped deep into his bones.

“Tower Master, Tower Master…”

At this moment, a guard clad in battle armor rushed into the Great Hall, his expression very hurried.

“All this panic, what sort of decorum is this?”

Mu Chongyang immediately reprimanded, his True God momentum instantly pressing down upon the guard.

The guard immediately knelt on one knee, struggling to squeeze out a few words, “Long Yan, Long Yan he…”

On hearing the words “Long Yan,” Mu Chongyang’s face changed, and he quickly asked, “Out with it, where’s Long Yan?”

Finally, news of Long Yan had arrived, how could he not be excited?

The guard took a couple of deep breaths before managing to steady himself, and said, “Long Yan, he’s just outside.”

“Have you captured Long Yan?”

Upon hearing this, Mu Chongyang’s first reaction was that Long Yan had been caught, his face lighting up with joy, “Good, good, good, we finally caught him.”

“Get up, from now on, you will be the Captain of the Inner Courtyard Guards.”

Then, Mu Chongyang dashed out of the Great Hall, his voice carrying back from beyond its threshold.

“Guard Captain?”

The guard was surprised to see Mu Chongyang so flustered; he had never seen the Tower Master lose his composure like this.

Suddenly recalling what Mu Chongyang had promised, the guard was so overwhelmed with happiness, he nearly fainted.
