Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Su Yen took his seat and sipped the tea served by the elderly couple without any change in his expression.

"Hmm... not bad," he muttered, raising his head to look at the trembling couple.

"Tell me everything you know about the Ancient Battlefield," he demanded.

Ancient Battlefield?!

The old couple exchanged shocked glances. They knew about the Ancient Battlefield. Who wouldn't?

It was the cause of their current predicament.

Taking a deep breath, the man began to narrate everything he knew about the Ancient Battlefield.

After a couple of minutes, he stopped, looked at Su Yen for a moment, and asked, "Are you from the Ancient Battlefield?"

"Not precisely, but I'm from that world," Su Yen responded with a nod.

"Really!" The old couple widened their eyes. "You are the first person to come from the Ancient Battlefield," the woman responded, shock written on her face.

"We never believed the Ancient Battlefield truly existed, but now we know our ancestors weren't trying to scare us," the husband added. Stay tuned to empire

Seeing the excitement on their faces, Su Yen was shocked. He did not expect the elderly couple to be happy to learn he came from such a place.

As if sensing his confusion, the husband added, "You should know we've been stuck on this star for centuries with many generations gone. But now, we have hope of leaving."

Watching the genuine joy on the old couple's faces made Su Yen realize the situation on the star might be worse than he imagined.

But that was not his concern for now, so he asked, "Who is the city lord?"

The City Lord?

They exchanged glances and replied with a hint of fear on their faces.

"The city lord lives on the floating island," the woman responded.

"Prepare a way for me to see him..." Su Yen said casually.

"She is a she..." the man said in a low voice.

"I don't care if she is a she or he. I just want to meet whoever is in charge of this city."

Hearing Su Yen's domineering response, the old couple were silent for a moment.

"What happened? Don't tell me you can't arrange the meeting."

Taking a deep breath, the man explained the deep situation of the city to Su Yen.

Hearing the intricacy of the city, he learned there were two major factions running the city.

One was the Wu family, which the city lord came from, and the other was the Li family, which was them.

The Wu family wanted to keep everyone safe inside the city while the Li family advocated for exploration to other stars to find a way to leave the broken star they lived on.

Unfortunately for the Li family, their faction was much weaker than the Wu family.

Su Yen creased his brow and responded, "Now that I've come, I'll be the judge of the situation. So make the arrangements for me right away."

Huh!

The old couple sighed, and the husband departed. As for betraying him, Su Yen did not harbor that thought.

Looking at the scared old woman, he asked, "Do you know Boss Hao?"

"Y-Yes... I know him. Their family is part of our faction."

"Good. Find him for me right away."

"Yes... I will get on it right away," she said and rushed out of the courtyard.

When she was with her husband, she did not notice the pressure coming from Su Yen, but when she was alone, it felt like a massive mountain was pressing down on her back. The mere couple of seconds she stood before him took all her will to stand up straight.

Thus, when she got the chance to escape, she didn't hesitate to flee with her largest stride.

Meanwhile, everyone inside the Li family noticed the shift in atmosphere.

The Young Miss of the Li family had not caused any problems for any slave. Moreover, she had not patrolled with her new pet.

Just then, they saw the Patriarch leaving with a grave expression. Behind him was his butler with a confused expression.

Inside the carriage, the butler asked his master, "My Lord, what is going on? You look troubled."

"A powerful person has arrived in the city," the Patriarch responded.

Hmm?

The butler was shocked and looked at his master for a second before turning his gaze to the quiet road.

Shortly after the Patriarch left the Li mansion, the matriarch left with equal urgency.

Now, even a fool could tell something was definitely going on.

Inside the famous restaurant at the center of the outer district of Blue Crystal City, Boss Hao was having the time of his life with two scantily dressed women around him.

His slaves stood a couple of feet away, looking at him with envy and greed.

Even though they knew they could never have such a life, they still had the right to fantasize about it.

Just as Boss Hao was about to bite into another chicken leg, the door to his private room was barged open.

"You horny dog, follow me right away," the Li Matriarch demanded urgently.

What!

Boss Hao was stunned and looked at the old matriarch in confusion.

Watching him delay, the old woman grew impatient, waved her hand, and sent all the people around her flying.

She picked up the still-stunned Boss Hao like a child and left the room.

Witnessing the domineering display of Matriarch Li, everyone she encountered was shocked and immediately made way for her.

Quickly, news about Matriarch Li spread throughout the outer district, with most making fun of the pathetic Boss Hao.

In another part of the inner district, Patriarch Li entered an equally large mansion.

"Old Li, what brings you here?" Patriarch Sun asked, slightly confused.

"I have important news," Old Li responded with a grave expression.

"Don't tell me you're thinking of sending another test subject on another meaningless endeavor of exploring space," Old Sun joked.

"No, not this time," Old Li responded. "I've found someone from the Ancient Battlefield."

"What!" Old Sun got to his feet. "Are you telling me the truth?"

"Do you think I'd joke about such an important matter?"

"Where did you see them? Can I see them?" Old Sun asked impatiently.

Since they belonged to the same faction, their thoughts aligned. Thus, he knew the potential of finding someone from the Ancient Battlefield.

"I can't," Old Li shook his head.

"Why?"

"He's too strong, and he demanded to see the city lord."

"What?" Old Sun looked at Old Li, and his jaw dropped.

Blue Crystal City had been calm for decades, but now, tension was gathering on the horizon.

How everything unfolded depended on one man.
