The matter of the Great Fiend resurfacing in the Divine Land has already caused quite a stir.
The incident of the Ten Great Families’ strong n being captured by the Great Fiend couldn’t be concealed.
After all, Chen Guan has set forth a condition that if Qi Tianxin isn’t captured for exchange within ten days, he will kill all the hostages from the Ten Great Families.
If soone else were to do such a thing, they would have no way of surviving in society afterward.
No one would believe that anyone would dare kill people from the Ten Great Families.
One might say, for soone else to use this tactic would be akin to shooting oneself in the foot; it’s a terrible move.
But the Great Fiend is different; he is already the sworn enemy of the Divine Land and has deep-seated grievances with the Ten Great Families.
When he says he will kill, he certainly will do so; no one doubts his resolve.
The Ten Great Families are in a difficult position, as capturing Qi Tianxin to exchange for their people might be seen as disgraceful to the world.
But those who were captured are quite important mbers of the Ten Great Families; losing them would be unbearable for the families.
At this mont, Qi Tianxin has launched a moral campaign, repeatedly using the dia to advocate resisting the Great Fiend’s compromise.
Previously, he claid he wasn’t the Great Fiend, but now he’s widely spreading the news that the one capturing the Ten Great Families’ experts is indeed the Great Fiend. Clearly, he is afraid.
He is truly afraid that the Ten Great Families, to save their people, might indeed take action against him.
Openly, they might not, but secretly, so unknown asures could be deployed.
Therefore, Qi Tianxin is desperately inciting public opinion to morally bind the Ten Great Families, not only preventing them from exchanging him but also forcing the Celestial King to launch an attack once more against the supposed Great Demon King.
The Ten Great Families know the involvent of Qi Tianxin in these discussions, but openly dealing with such matters is difficult for them.
Chen Guan is determined to kill Qi Tianxin and has been spending a great deal of effort.
Qi Tianxin is undoubtedly very strong; having seen a few of his battles, Chen Guan is certain that Ji Fenglie might not even be his opponent.
Moreover, Qi Tianxin is extrely cautious—capturing his true form is practically impossible.
He could even give up the position of Chief Judge rather than risk a fight with Xiu Jie Ming, showing how stable he is.
If Qi Tianxin had fought Xiu Jie Ming with full force back then, the outco would still be uncertain.
Chen Guan uses his threat against the Ten Great Families not to truly have them kill Qi Tianxin but to wait for an opportunity.
This opportunity soon arrived; the Ten Great Families, having survived for millennia, would not be helpless against such a small predicant.
Soon, soone proposed a solution: if they couldn’t compromise with the Great Fiend nor abandon their strong n, they could find a middle ground.
The matter originally started due to Qi Tianxin, who, together with Feng Wuci, revived Ji Fenglie and imprisoned him.
Now, as revenge is sought against them, the Ten Great Families shouldn’t be involved; they’re rely assisting.
The situation has reached a point where Qi Tianxin must take responsibility.
They wouldn’t harm Qi Tianxin, but neither could he remain uninvolved.
Finally, the Ten Great Families decided to find a diator to speak to the Great Fiend, allowing the Great Fiend and Qi Tianxin to resolve the issue themselves.
Resolving the issue essentially ant having Qi Tianxin duel the Great Fiend, resulting in his death, concluding the matter.
No one believed Qi Tianxin could be a match for the Great Fiend. Just one of the Great Fiend’s pets was terrifying enough; Qi Tianxin, once defeated and expelled from the Ancestral Court, couldn’t be a match.
While this decision slightly tarnished the Ten Great Families’ reputation, it’s a better option than losing so many people, each of whom were central figures nurtured at great cost and resources.
The diator they chose to persuade the Great Fiend was the "Big Boss" of Night Shanghai.
Though Night Shanghai is located within the Ancestral Court, the Big Boss isn’t part of the Ancestral Court nor the Ten Great Families.
This Big Boss is a legendary figure navigating both the black and white worlds.
During Qi Tianxin’s tenure, whether the Ancestral Court or the Ten Great Families, they had to show the Big Boss so respect.
Even under the Ancestral Court’s watchful eyes, those who escaped into Night Shanghai and gained the Big Boss’s protection weren’t arrested imdiately by the Ancestral Court.
Now, the Ten Great Families have chosen this Big Boss as their diator, and the Big Boss has agreed quickly, setting off with Night Shanghai’s manager Shui Yu toward the Tear Luo Desert.
Chen Guan quickly noticed these two won; although they were unaware of the Great Fiend’s location, they used a Sound Transmission Stone at the previous battlefield continuously to broadcast their intentions.
"The Big Boss of Night Shanghai is actually a woman?" Chen Guan was surprised, having heard of Night Shanghai but not knowing the Big Boss was a woman.
This middle-aged woman appeared gentle and graceful, far from the intimidating leader navigating both the white and black realms; more like an elegant lady or a pampered wealthy wife.
She had refined features and smooth skin, bearing a grace bestowed by age, distinct from ordinary girls, exuding maturity rather than youthful vigor.
Chen Guan used his far-seeing eyes to observe the two won from the clouds.
What truly astonished Chen Guan was not the Big Boss but the woman Shui Yu, who followed her like a servant.
Chen Guan didn’t know Shui Yu but recognized Qing Ya, and this woman was clearly Qing Ya.
"Since when did Qing Ya mingle with Night Shanghai’s Big Boss? What’s her plan?" Chen Guan pondered.
"Why should I agree to your request? I have mbers of the Ten Great Families in my possession; to exchange lives with lives, why waste ti fighting Qi Tianxin?" Chen Guan’s ethereal voice echoed from all directions.
The Big Boss smiled, saying, "You are a hero and a champion; those outdated customs and so-called moral restraints an nothing to you. But the Ten Great Families are re mortals, unable to be as carefree as you."
"The fear of what others say might drown them if they indeed brought Qi Tianxin to you, with every person’s spittle."
"Haha, you do speak well; they want to give them an excuse?" Chen Guan inquired.
"With your prowess, killing Qi Tianxin is child’s play; it’s nothing. The Ten Great Families bringing Qi Tianxin’s true self to you amounts to the sa as killing him," the Big Boss expressed.
"If I accept their terms, what’s in it for you?" Chen Guan casually asked.
"As a woman surviving in such tumultuous tis, I rely on friends and assist them in solving small matters. I have friends in dicine, engineering, agriculture, husbandry—I’m willing to help if you need anything..." the Big Boss responded with poise.
