I'll Take You Home; the Whole Clan Prepares for Battle; a Transformation of the Heart!
Looking at Jiang Xiu's Jiang Xiu hand and hearing his firm voice, Yuanen Yehui's heart trembled, and she pursed her red lips as she placed her hand in Jiang Xiu's.
Holding Yuanen Yehui's slightly cold hand, Jiang Xiu pushed open the door of the Yuanen Family without hesitation and walked inside.
"Greetings, Young Master Jiang Xiu!"
As Jiang Xiu entered the Yuanen Family, many members of the Yuanen Family greeted him upon seeing Jiang Xiu.
This wasn't Jiang Xiu's request, nor was anyone else asking these members of the Yuanen Family to shout it like that; it was all from the bottom of their hearts.
Since leaving the mountains, they realized how rapidly the outside world had developed. After arriving in Shrek City, they never lacked resources again, and they were even able to wear Battle Armor, which was usually rare.
And all of this stems largely from the young Jiang Xiu.
Jiang Xiu was very approachable and greeted the members of the Yuanen Family in a very gentle manner.
"Jiang Xiu, I've realized this doesn't feel like my home, it feels more like yours," Yuanen Yehui said softly, being led by the hand.
"Your house and my house are the same," Jiang Xiu said casually.
But upon hearing these words, a blush suddenly appeared on Yuanen Yehui's exquisite face.
Looking at the tall, upright boy standing in front of him and holding his hand, Yuanen Yehui felt a sense of security.
As Jiang Xiu walked by, many members of the Yuanen Family recognized Yuanen Yehui, but they did not speak ill of him as Yuanen Yehui had imagined, and their faces did not even show indifference.
Instead, he had a somewhat meaningful expression on his face.
Soon, guided by members of the Yuanen Family, Jiang Xiu led Yuanen Yehui to the main hall.
Inside the main hall were Yuanen Zhentian and Yuanen Tiandang.
"Greetings, Clan Chief Zhentian, Uncle Tiandang."
When Yuanen Tiandang saw his daughter's little hand being held by Jiang Xiu, his originally calm face instantly turned red.
Hearing Jiang Xiu's greeting made things even worse. In his eyes, Jiang Xiu was a pig who had taken advantage of Xiao Bai, and this pig was even taunting him while eating Xiao Bai.
Even now, he has an urge to go to the main gate and see if Jiang Xiu's soul guide vehicle is still parked outside.
"Oh, it's Jiang Xiaoyou and Yehui. It's good that they've returned safely from the Star Luo Continent."
Looking at the two standing together, Yuanen Zhentian said with satisfaction, "How well-matched they are."
"Clan Chief Zhentian, we have finalized our plans. In three days, we will summon the Demon Plane through the Xuanwu Gate on the north side of Ming Capital. We will need the assistance of the two seniors at that time," Jiang Xiu said with a slight smile.
"Three days later—is it that soon?" Yuanen Zhentian pondered for a moment, then replied, "No problem, I will go with you. It's time to settle some deep-seated grudges—"
At this moment, Yuanen Tiandang hesitated before suggesting, "Father, you are the patriarch of the Yuanen Family. I suggest you stay here; I'll go instead."
Upon hearing this, Yuanen Zhentian glanced at Yuanen Tiandang and said, "My advice is that you shouldn't offer any suggestions."
"I'm Little Yehui's grandfather, how can I not go? If I don't go, do you think you, a Soul Master who doesn't even have the strength of Super Douluo, can stop the Demon Army?"
Yuanen Zhentian's seemingly blunt words were actually meant to dissuade Yuanen Tiandang that idea.
"Alright, Father, let's go together—" Yuanen Tiandang could sense his father's thoughts, so he stopped hesitating and nodded resolutely.
But before Yuanen Tiandang finish speaking, a voice rang out from outside the main hall.
"Brother, I wish to go with you!"
A powerful voice echoed, Yuanen Tianshang's figure slowly appeared.
"Second brother, it was because of me that you lost Ning'er back then. Don't take any more risks—" Yuan Yuanen Tianshang Yuanen Tiandang Shang appear, but he still said it.
"Brother, that's why I want to kill more demons to avenge Ning'er!" Yuanen Tianshang came to Yuanen Tiandang's side and patted Yuanen Tiandang's shoulder.
"This—" Yuanen Tiandang looked at his father, then at his second brother, a surge of warmth welling up inside him. He said solemnly, "Then let the three of us, father and sons, avenge him together!"
"Kid, we can't let you steal all the limelight."
As soon as Yuanen Tiandang finished speaking, a powerful voice rang out from outside the main hall, followed by the appearance of an old man walking towards the main hall. This was an elder of the Yuanen Family, a Titled Douluo- level clan elder.
"That's right, we old bones aren't dead yet."
Immediately afterwards, another elderly figure appeared; this was yet another clan elder.
But it was far from over. Outside the main hall, members of the Yuanen Family, with smiles on their faces and determined glints in their eyes, walked toward the main hall in unison.
"Young man, Tiandang, you're not even going to tell us old folks about this? You're really showing off."
"Tiandang, we're glad you're thinking of us, but we're very unhappy that you're trying to keep this from your uncle."
"Young Clan Chief Tiandang, do you look down on my Soul Douluo level strength?"
"Uncle, let me help you!"
Looking at the clansmen around him, Yuanen Tiandang froze on the spot. Hearing the voices around him, he couldn't help but be moved, and his nose felt a little sore.
"Everyone--Everyone--"
"I'm so sorry, everyone. It was because of me and Yehui's mother that we attracted the Demon Army, causing a catastrophe for many of our people. Many died or were seriously injured. How can I trouble you all again?"
Yuanen Tiandang's eyes reddened as he spoke.
"Tiandang boy, why do you always like to take the blame upon yourself? At that time, you and Yehui's mother were already married. Since Yehui's mother entered our Yuanen Family, she is a member of our Yuanen Family!"
If a family member is in trouble, shouldn't we help? I, an old man, would never do such a thing!
An elder frowned, his face showing displeasure.
"That's right, we've never blamed you or Little Yehui's mother. What we hate are those demons who burned, killed, and looted!"
Another elder then spoke in a deep voice.
"That's right, we old folks are practically on our way to the grave, and all we've been waiting for is to kill the demon one last time, and you're not even going to tell us?"
The Fifth Elder said indignantly.
"Does everyone really not resent me?" Yuanen Tiandang murmured.
"Brother, you've trapped yourself."
Yuanen Tianshang patted Yuanen Tiandang on the shoulder and said heavily.
"Yes, I trapped myself—" Yuanen Tiandang murmured upon hearing this.
At that moment, it felt as if some kind of shackle in his heart had been broken.
In an instant, a unique aura emanated from the person.
Like a trapped dragon breaking free!
Sensing the unique aura emanating from Yuanen Tiandang, a hint of surprise flashed in Yuanen Zhentian's eyes. That unique aura only existed on Limit Douluo!
"Ah! What a pity!" Yuanen Zhentian sighed inwardly.
Yuanen Tiandang's foundation was severely damaged, and even if he comprehended this meaning, he would find it difficult to break through to the Limit Douluo.
Unless the essence blood of a pure Titan Giant Ape of over 100,000 years can be used to repair the foundation of Yuanen Tiandang.
But now that Soul Beast have disappeared, this seems impossible.
However, he would never give up on this son he was once so proud of!
"Silence! I, the patriarch, hereby declare that the Yuanen Family will depart for Xuanwu Gate tomorrow!" The next instant, Yuanen Zhentian's expression turned solemn, and he proclaimed in a loud voice, "To slay the Demon Army! To avenge our fallen clansmen!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Revenge! Revenge!"
Seeing this scene, Yuanen Yehui's dark red eyes flickered slightly, and she tightened her grip on Jiang Xiu's hand a little more.
"Thank you, Jiang Xiu," Yuanen Yehui thought to himself, his voice firm yet as if he had made a decision.
Although Jiang Xiu didn't say it, she knew that without Jiang Xiu, the Yuanen Family would never have come to Shrek City, and her father would never have been able to recover.
And she might even be foolish enough to prepare to defeat her own grandfather.
As Yuanen Tiandang was experiencing a transformation in his state of mind, he suddenly paused. He had a sudden feeling that something important was about to leave him—
