Chapter 2347 The Att.i.tude of the Five Major Families! The Clone"s Crisis! (1)
As the voice of the fire-element universe-stage martial warrior from the Black Skull Universe Pirates fell, there was a brief silence.
w.a.n.g Teng"s clone squinted as he glanced at the fire-element universe-stage martial warrior calmly. Then, he s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the young man of the Heishan Royal Clan.
Je harbored no fear. With the interchangeability of his clones and main body, the current presence was merely a clone. It didn"t matter if he was targeted.
This was a good chance to gauge the stance of the five major families.
The fire-element universe-stage martial warrior remained unperturbed. A cosmos-stage martial warrior was nothing worth noticing.
A faint smirk graced the lips of the young man from the Heishan Royal Clan. He cast a cold gaze upon w.a.n.g Teng"s clone.
Yizang Xinnuo and the others were worried. They glanced at the five family heads in the distance who had yet to speak.
Even Guizang Yan, who had previously harbored disdain towards "Han Zhu," furrowed his brow, a hint of anger simmering.
The Heishan Royal Clan wanted to force them to submit!
Be it for the reputation of their families or due to Han Zhu"s prior aid to Guizang Zhu, he did not want to see Han Zhu getting abandoned by his family.
Unfortunately, the decision of the five major families was beyond their influence.
Faced with formidable foes like the Heishan Royal Clan, they couldn"t guarantee their families would stand by Han Zhu"s side.
Yunzang Xiao, Hengzang Mo, and the others had dark expressions, their hearts heavy with frustration.
After the recent interactions, they held a favorable impression of Han Zhu, who had lent them considerable a.s.sistance. They couldn"t bear to abandon him just like this.
At the side, Guizang Zhu felt anxious too. She wanted to say something but hesitated. This wasn"t a situation where she could speak.
Amidst this tense atmosphere, Hengzang Chuan suddenly produced an object. He tossed it to w.a.n.g Teng"s clone and declared with a hearty laugh, "Young friend, this is the half of the Five Burial Token we promised you earlier. Consider it fulfilled."
"From now on, you are an honored guest of our five families!"
As the words fell, the entire area plunged into silence. The various factions cast complex gazes at the five major families.
They had chosen to protect him!
The five major families, known for their unbridled actions, had unexpectedly upheld their promise, providing refuge for this cosmos-stage martial warrior.
This was really surprising!
w.a.n.g Teng was stunned, equally taken aback by the five families" choice to honor their commitment.
He was wrong!
He had almost underestimated the generosity of the five major families.
Well, at least he entertained a fleeting hope, which hadn"t gone unfulfilled.
w.a.n.g Teng smiled faintly. He moved his thoughts and the other half of the Five Burial Token flew out from his s.p.a.ce ring, melding seamlessly with the half suspended in mid-air, completing the token.
"Thank you."
"You treat me as a friend; naturally, I reciprocate the sentiment!"
Then, he cupped his fists at Hengzang Chuan and the others.
"Hahaha… Young friend, you"re too polite!" Hengzang Chuan couldn"t help but laugh.
He held high hopes for Han Zhu. Hengzang Mo and the others had already informed him upon their return from the ancestral land that Han Zhu had held his ground against the young man of the Heishan Royal Clan, perhaps even besting him.
The five major families couldn"t afford to abandon a prodigy like him. They must surely seek to cultivate a relations.h.i.+p.
Now that they had laid a solid foundation, and established a friends.h.i.+p, it was even less wise to sever ties completely due to the threats from the Heishan Royal Clan.
As for the Heishan Royal Clan, Hengzang Chuan believed they had already made the greatest concession. He didn"t believe they would dare to strike against them.
Furthermore, they had invited all the factions in the Phantom Drift Territorial Domain to intimidate the other party with the power of the entire Phantom Drift Territorial Domain.
If the Heishan Royal Clany really attacked their families, they wouldn"t hesitate to expose their ident.i.ty, making it difficult for the Black Skull Universe Pirates to stay in the Phantom Drift Territorial Domain.
The other five major powers wouldn"t stand by while the Five Burial Stars were destroyed.
If the Five Burial Stars fell, it would disrupt the balance of power in the Phantom Drift Territorial Domain, posing a threat to all factions.
Yizang Xinnuo and the others couldn"t help but breathe a sigh of relief, their faces breaking into smiles. "Brother Han, from now on, we"re on the same side."
The Five Burial Token was extremely special to the five families.
So far, they had only given out one, and now, this was the second.
Anyone who received the Five Burial Token was unquestionably acknowledged by the Five Burial Stars, almost indistinguishable from their own kin in the five major families.
So, after w.a.n.g Teng received the Five Burial Token, Yizang Xinnuo, and the others showed even more warmth towards him as if a sense of closeness had spontaneously emerged.
"Brother Han, look at that guy"s face, it"s practically turning black," Guizang Zhu said, smiling, as she approached, pointing towards the young man of the Heishan Royal Clan in the distance.
w.a.n.g Teng couldn"t help but glance over, a hint of mischief playing on his face.
Upon hearing Hengzang Chuan"s decision, the smile on the face of the young man of the Heishan Royal Clan froze, appearing somewhat ludicrous.
This outcome undoubtedly caught him completely off guard.
The fire-element universe-stage martial warrior of the Black Skull Universe Pirates frowned. He swept his gaze over the five family heads and said, "Have you thought this through?"
"Is it worth it to oppose our Black Skull Universe Pirates for the sake of one person?"
A hint of cold mockery flickered across his face as if he was mocking the foolishness of the five major families.
"How we conduct ourselves is none of your concern." Before Hengzang Chuan could speak, Guizang Feng couldn"t help but snort coldly.
