"Everyone in the Zhu Family, heed my command! Escort the eldest young lady out!" Zhu Zihao gave the order decisively and glanced at Zhu Zhuyun. Nothing could happen to his daughter. Zhu Yun and Xu Ran shared a deep bond; if anything happened to her, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zhu Zihao glanced around, his heart full of worry.
He had long known that conflict between the Zhu Family and the Dai Family was inevitable, but he had never expected it to come so soon. There had not been the slightest whisper of the Dai Family planning to strike the Zhu Family before, yet now they had suddenly joined forces with the Xu Family and attacked. They had even brought along the Xu Family's best fighters, clearly intending to wipe out the Zhu Family with a thunderbolt strike too swift for anyone to cover their ears.
Even Zhu Zihao, who knew Emperor Dai very well, felt profound fear and regret at that moment.
He had thought that even if the Dai Family attacked the Zhu Family, they could not possibly destroy them in a short time. At the first whisper of trouble, he would immediately contact Xu Ran and the forces friendly with Xu Ran in the Heaven Dou Empire for help.
Yet he had never imagined that the Dai Family could plot so meticulously without their noticing, allowing not a scrap of information to leak.
Now, even if he wanted to seek help, he feared there was little chance left. There was no longer enough time. Going for help would take at least fourteen to sixteen hours, and the Zhu Family clearly could not hold out that long.
At that moment, the Zhu Family's several old fossils, all over a hundred years old, had also come out in force.
