Chapter 1361: You are Never Going to Get Your Turn
"My Ladyship! Please hang on!"
The young disciple was alarmed. "You must not go! The enemy is really scary!"
"What are these enemies, that make you so afraid?" Liu Xiyuan asked.
The Xuanjian Faction was the most powerful faction in China's Jianghu, and they could do whatever they wanted in Dragon City's Jianghu, and no one would dare reprimand them.
The Xuanjian disciples were well sheltered and had nothing and no one to fear in Dragon City.
Liu Xuanxin stopped in her tracks. This enemy really piqued her curiosity and inflated her worry.
"Our brothers who went out to investigate the trail saw that there were people from three top-tier ancient factions, Kunlun, Mount Shu and Xingxiu! There are also three groups of foreigners. They don't look like commoners!" The young disciple exclaimed.
"What?!" Liu Xuanxin gasped. "All three top-tier ancient factions attacking at the same time? How... Is that possible?"
Xuanjian Faction may be the most powerful faction in its league, but compared to top-tier ancient faction, it was like comparing a mouse to an elephant.
Liu Xuanxin was having a hard time wrapping her head around the fact that all three top-tier ancient factions were attacking at the same time.
"Grandfather! I'll go take a look now! Otherwise, my mind won't be at ease!"
"Stay right where you are!" Liu Xiyuan said. "You cannot go! It's too dangerous!"
"Don't worry, grandfather! Xiaobei gave me a magical pill which helped me break through to Ethereal Cultivation!"
"Calm down!" Liu Xiyuan said firmly. "You are just at the early phase of Ethereal Cultivation. You are not qualified enough to be involved in this fight! If you sneak to the front, you'll only be a hindrance to Chen Xiaobei. You'll be nothing but a burden to him!"
Liu Xuanxin was stunned by her grandfather's response. She had seen Chen Xiaobei's strength in Penglai Faction! With her current cultivation, she really would be no help to Chen Xiaobei!
"But I'm still worried!" Liu Xuanxin protested. "Bei Xuan Faction is under attack. And the enemies are plenty in number! What if Xiaobei cannot fight them?"
Liu Xiyuan said, "Even if he can't fight them, he should be able to get away safely! Let's wait for a while. It might be over soon!"
"Mm." Liu Xuanxin was distraught, but there was nothing she could do. "I won't get involved. I just want to take a closer look at the fight!"
At Rothschild's castle: In the central meeting room.
An LED monitor displayed the exact footage that the American president was watching.
There were four people in the room. Three elderly and one youth.
The young man turned out to be one of Chen Xiaobei's loyal hounds, Focker!
The two elderly people were the head of the family. Elder Jiu, and the family's demigod, Calderon!
The last time they met in Paradise Island, Chen Xiaobei took out a medium-grade Spiritual Stone, and revealed that he could help the Rothschilds get to a high-ranking starfield. This incident had won Elder Jiu over.
In Elder Jiu's heart, Chen Xiaobei was already a distinguished guest.
In order to flatter Chen Xiaobei, Elder Jiu even considered bringing Focker up as the family heir, so that he could maintain their family's friendship with Chen Xiaobei in the long run.
"Head of the family! Uncle Jiu! Master Demigod!" Focker said. "Please help Mr. Chen! The enemies are not some small-timers. If we don't help him, who knows what would happen!"
The family head shook his head. "Have you lost your mind? You want us to offend six top-tier ancient factions for one person?! Why would we Rothchilds take on a lost cause?"
"Master demigod!" Focker turned over to the other side. "Since you're not going to help, could you at least speak on behalf of Chen Xiaobei? With your influence in the ancient factions, the six major forces will surely submit to you!"
Calderon raised an eyebrow. "Didn't Elder Jiu say that this kid has a demigod backing him up? I'm in no place to speak on his behalf. Am I right, Elder Jiu?"
"Yes!" Elder Jiu nodded. "Mr. Chen did have a demigod recommend him to go to the Northern Wilderness Starfield. Mr. Chen even said that he's very close to that demigod. That demigod would most probably protect Mr. Chen!"
Focker looked like he was about to throw up.
No one knew it, but Focker was aware that Chen Xiaobei did not know any demigod.
If his family refused to help, Chen Xiaobei would have to face these six forces alone. There was no way that he was going to survive this war.
Focker opened his mouth to plead but was cut off.
"Enough of this nonsense!" The family head said. "Stop whining and watch the screen. If Mr. Chen can't pull through this, he doesn't deserve to be our family's distinguished guest!"
"Y...yes..." Inside, Focker had melted like jelly.

At Bei Xuan Faction's former location:
Kunlun, Xingxiu, and Mount Shu had arrived.
Bei Xuan Faction was nowhere to be seen. There was not a soul; not even a brick or a tile that could be seen.
There was only one giant rock, with the words Bei Xuan written on it!
Sitting next to it was Chen Xiaobei, legs crossed, eyes closed, with very calm demeanor as if he was at rest.
"Hurry! Look! Chen Xiaobei is over there! Hurry up! Everyone! Go!"
Three ancient factions, an amount numbering to over 300 men spotted Chen Xiaobei, and quickly gathered around Chen Xiaobei.
"Chen Xiaobei! Chen Zhufeng! We meet again!" Mount Shu's third core elder, Qi Congying said.
Chen Xiaobei did not respond. His eyes were still shut, as if the 300 odd men before him were just thin air.
"Hey twerp! Why aren't you getting down on your knees before us?" Xingxiu Faction grand elder, Han Wuchang barked.
"Is this dumbass scared out of his wits? Why isn't he responding?" Kunlun Faction grand elder Zhou Jianyu said.
"Hmm, where did all these flies come from anyway? How annoying!" Chen Xiaobei's eyes snapped open!
"Motherf*cker! How dare you call us flies?" his enemies shouted at him.
The three leaders were Ethereal Cultivation super elites. The 300 people with them were also elites at the peak of True Nirvana cultivation.
In Jianghu, there was nobody who dared show them disrespect. This was the first time anyone has ever called them flies! How on earth could they not be outraged?
"Are you guys looking for me?" Chen Xiaobei looked at the group of people standing around him.
"Hmph! Stop trying to act tough!" Qi Congying said. "Give us our Water Shattering Dagger, and I might just let you get out of this alive!"
Zhou Jianyu and Han Wuchang were more tenacious. "You, Chen Xiaobei killed both our faction's young masters! Even if the gods come falling down from the heavens, they won't be able to save you!"
"Hehe. I, Chen Xiaobei don't have much, but what I do have is a lot enemies. There are plenty of people who want to kill me. Unfortunately, you might never get a chance to do that!"
Some distance away, someone said in broken mandarin, "Stop! You're not allowed to kill Chen Xiaobei!"
