After finalizing the wedding date with the Su Family, Chu Changge and his entourage returned to their own Family.
The events that transpired at the Everlasting Su Family had, after several days of fermentation, spread throughout the entire Eastern Desolate Dao Domain.
Inside the Primordial Divine Sect, the contemporary Sect Master's expression was grim.
"The Chu Family, what a Longevity Chu Family!"
"To lure out my Primordial Divine Sect, you actually put on such a good show!" the Primordial Divine Sect Master said with a cold tone.
Their Sect had mobilized more than half of its elites, solely to annihilate the Su Family once the engagement between the Chu Family and Su Family was completely broken.
Yet, in the end, all of their Sect members were completely wiped out.
Their Primordial Divine Sect suffered immense losses in combat power, while the Longevity Chu Family's influence throughout the Eastern Desolate Dao Domain further expanded, subtly showing a trend towards becoming the Eastern Desolate Dao Domain's foremost overlord.
At this moment, the several Elders who remained to guard the Primordial Divine Sect below wore worried expressions.
"Sect Master, what should we do next? Grand Elder and the others died at the hands of Chu Kuangren; the Chu Family will surely move to destroy our Sect!"
"The disparity in strength between our Sect and the Chu Family is too great; if we were to clash, our Primordial Divine Sect would undoubtedly be defeated."
The Primordial Divine Sect Master's face was somber, and he said indifferently, "Recall all surviving Primordial Divine Sect Disciples; we will relocate the Sect to preserve our strength!"
The Primordial Divine Sect Master made a clear decision.
If they remained where they were now, there was only a dead end.
They could only quickly relocate the Sect while the Chu Family had not yet acted against them, preserving as much strength as possible.
Their Primordial Divine Sect might not possess great abilities, but their skill at hiding was considerable.
They could wait for the Everlasting Su Family to decline, and naturally, they could also wait for the Chu Family to decline.
As the Primordial Divine Sect Master gave the order, all surviving members of the Primordial Divine Sect began to move... In the Longevity Chu Family, after Chu Changge returned to the Family.
A group of Elders came to check on his situation, concerned about his wedding date.
"Changge, are you alright! I heard Grand Elder say that the Primordial Divine Sect was going to act against the Su Family, and that Primordial Divine Sect Divine Son even challenged you; you weren't injured, were you!" an Elder asked with concern.
Chu Changge replied with a smile, "I'm fine, Elder, aren't I perfectly alright?"
"Changge, Grand Elder said that girl from the Su Family has recovered her Cultivation talent. When is your wedding date set for?" another Elder asked with a gossipy expression.
Chu Changge still answered with a smile.
"Elder, Xue'er is still young now; the wedding date is set for three years later!"
Just as everyone was chatting about gossip, a few old men walked over.
Their appearance instantly silenced the Elders who had been asking all sorts of questions.
Undoubtedly, these old men were the pillars of their Longevity Chu Family, their Peak combat power.
They were Old Ancestors with Quasi-Emperor Peak Cultivation, some even having one foot already in the Emperor Realm!
One Old Ancestor looked at Chu Changge with a solemn expression and asked.
"Changge, since the Primordial Divine Sect dared to act against the Su Family, what do you think our Chu Family should do? Should we use thunderous means to destroy the Primordial Divine Sect, or should we ignore it?"
Chu Changge understood that this was the Old Ancestor testing him.
As a Divine Son, he also had the right to decide whether a major power should live or die.
Chu Changge calmed down.
He was thinking, and he was waiting!
Soon, a choice appeared before him.
"Ding! Detecting Host's current experience, triggering Heaven's Mandate Choice!"
"Option One: The Su Family is our Chu Family's marriage alliance partner. The Primordial Divine Sect daring to act against them means they don't put our Chu Family in their eyes. Our Chu Family should annihilate the Primordial Divine Sect with thunderous momentum! Reward: Cultivation Technique, Heaven-Defying Seven Demon Blades!"
"Option Two: Do not act, preserve the Chu Family's strength. The Su Family is just a marriage alliance partner; there's no need to be too good to them! Reward: Cultivation Technique, Six Paths Reincarnation Fist."
"Please choose..."
Looking at the rewards for the two options, Chu Changge smiled faintly.
"System, do you really want me to act against the Su Family, and make me oppose the protagonist of destiny/luck?" Chu Changge muttered to himself.
Regarding Option Two, if his Chu Family did not act against the Primordial Divine Sect, one could imagine that with such great losses, the Primordial Divine Sect would surely retaliate against the Su Family.
At that time, the Su Family would still be unable to escape death.
Then, he and Su Ningxue would once again be on opposing sides.
Unless absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to oppose the protagonist of destiny/luck.
After all, clashing too much with these truly cheating individuals was very tiring.
After thinking it through, Chu Changge said with a serious expression.
"Old Ancestor, Changge believes that taking advantage of the Primordial Divine Sect's severe weakening now, we should completely eradicate them with thunderous means. Otherwise, if the Primordial Divine Sect develops in the shadows someday, it might be detrimental to our Chu Family in the future!"
Listening to Chu Changge's words, these Old Ancestors all nodded with calm expressions.
"Good! Since this is your intention, Changge, then so be it."
"The Primordial Divine Sect daring to act against the Su Family is disrespect to our Chu Family. This Venerable One will have Grand Elder lead the team to Fallen Demon Valley to destroy the Primordial Divine Sect!"
The Old Ancestor's words startled Chu Changge.
It turned out the Old Ancestor already planned to annihilate the Primordial Divine Sect.
Moreover, they had already found the Sect's hiding place.
If he had made a choice with a different mindset, he would surely have disappointed the Old Ancestors.
"That was close, that was close! This System is really devious; as expected, rewards that are too good always have big pitfalls!" Chu Changge secretly rejoiced.
As he made his choice, a System notification sounded in his mind.
"Host has completed Option One, receiving reward: Emperor-level Fifth-grade Cultivation Technique, Heaven-Defying Seven Demon Blades!"
"Heaven-Defying Seven Demon Blades: A blade technique that expends life force. There are a total of seven blades. Unleashing all seven blades will exhaust almost all life force. If one can survive on the brink of death, then one will break through and establish oneself, with life energy flowing backward and greatly increased cultivation!"
"This blade technique is quite good!" Chu Changge commented faintly after glancing at the Cultivation Technique's description.
This was a standard Cultivation Technique for protagonists; when a protagonist used it, there would be no risk of death, but if he used it... Chu Changge put away the Cultivation Technique, then bid farewell to the Elders and Old Ancestors.
He returned to his own courtyard.
The matters of the Primordial Divine Sect were being handled by the Elders and Old Ancestors, so he didn't need to worry too much.
Now, his only concern was that Su Ningxue would enter the Yunxian Mountain Range a month later to meet her Master from the Immortal Realm.
He would also go then, but before that, he had to improve his strength first.
"System, retrieve the true dragon essence blood!" Chu Changge said.
Subsequently, a drop of incomparably pure true dragon essence blood appeared in his hand.
This drop of essence blood contained immense energy.
It could just help him break through his Realm.
"Gulp!" As Chu Changge swallowed the drop of true dragon essence blood, the immense energy contained within it transformed into a True Dragon phantom, appearing above the Chu Family!
