Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

“Listen to my command. Activate Yanjing Formation!”

Inside the Xu residence, Xu Lei knew what was going on outside, so she activated the last amulet Ye

Fan gave her.

With her command, countless pillars made of light suddenly shot up from the Xu residence.

The pillars of light then connected with each other to form a protective barrier around the Xu residence.

“Ms. Xu, is t-this going to work?”

“Is this going to block off Chu Sect's attacks?”

Everyone in the Xu residence was panicking.

A lot of them doubted the reliability of the Yanjing Formation. They didn't think those pillars of light

could stop the attack from the best force in the world.

Yet, Xu Lei was very confident. With determination in her eyes, she answered, “It'll work. The formation

Ye Fan gave me will surely be able to protect me from all kinds of danger.”

There wasn't the slightest hint of doubt in her tone.

Outside the Xu residence, a one-armed elderly man led a dozen of Chu Sect fighters in an effort to

attack the Xu family.

Indeed, for a secular force like the Xu family, a dozen Chu Sect fighters were deemed more than

enough to wipe the family out. In fact, the Xu family did not even have the ability to defend themselves.

After all, there wasn't even a Grandmaster in the Xu family.

The one-armed elderly man, on the other hand, was on the verge of becoming a Supreme during his

peak.

However, Ye Fan cut off one of his arms when Ye Fan was battling Chu Sect back then. The elderly

man was so severely injured that he could no longer improve himself and become a Supreme.

Having said that, the one-armed elderly man was still powerful enough to do whatever he wanted in

Yanjing.

In other words, he was strong enough to wipe out the Xu family on his own.

To his surprise, the moment the one-armed elderly man was about to storm the Xu residence, he and

his men suddenly saw the pillars of light shooting up into the sky.

The pillars of light then served as light barriers that protected the Xu residence.

“Mr. Duoli, l-look!”

“W-What is that?”

The fighters from Chu Sect were so stunned that they couldn't utter another word.

The one-armed elder's name was Duoli, and he was also frowning.

“It's just an illusion. Ignore it and keep moving forward!” Duoli glanced at the barrier and concluded that

it was safe for everyone to move forward.

Despite Duoli's assessment, a few of the Chu Sect fighters were sent stumbling backward when they

tried to penetrate the barrier.

Some of them were even vomiting blood as a result.

“Mr. Duoli, it's not working!”

“This light barrier is so weird!”

“There's no way we're getting past it!”

The fighters from Chu Sect were panicking because they were afraid of the unknown.

They had never seen or heard about the light barrier that was protecting the Xu residence.

“Why are you guys so scared? Step aside and let me do it! This is surely just a puny trick. How dare

they pretend to be smart in front of me? Back then, I was almost a Supreme. I doubt a weak formation

from a family from the mundane world is going to stop me!” Duoli refused to believe that he could be

beaten by the formation.

Upon a shout, a sword appeared in his hand.

“Break!” Duoli let out a roar, and a tremendous amount of Qi began circling within his palm.

With that, he slashed at the formation ferociously.

“Will the formation hold?” The members of the Xu family who were hiding inside the manor were

growing anxious when they saw what was happening before their eyes.

Even Xu Lei was holding her breath subconsciously.

Boom!

In the next second, a deafening thud rang out.

The surface of the formation then started trembling violently.

However, it only lasted for a few seconds.

The next moment, the crowd saw Duoli being sent flying a hundred meters away. At the same time, he

was spewing out blood.

Everyone in the Xu family was utterly stunned.

None of them had expected Ye Fan to leave them with such a strong formation.

Finally, Xu Lei could heave a sigh of relief and smile. I knew it! What Ye Fan left behind for me when he

was still alive is the best!

“Mr. Duoli, are you all right?”

The men from Chu Sect hurriedly went up to Duoli to help him up.

Duoli spat out the blood in his mouth and fumed, “F*ck! That should be something like a defensive

formation. Chu Tianfan must've left it behind when he was still alive! As expected of someone who was

ranked first in the Sky Ranking. He's still such a nuisance after his death!”

With the formation there, Duoli quickly realized that they would need a lot more time than expected to

get into the Xu residence. “If we can't kill them, let's wear them down! Everyone, let's cut off their power

and water supply. Seal off all the exits and don't let the Xu family out. If they try to escape, kill them!

Let's see how long they can stay inside!”

Duoli had to change his strategy. Instead of storming in, he wanted to wait for the Xu family to starve to

death.

When the Xu family found out what Duoli was going to do, they were all in utter despair.

“What should we do, Ms. Xu?”

“They're going to starve us!”

“We're not prepared for such a sudden occurrence. We don't have enough food and water in storage.”

“Even if we don't get killed, we'll eventually starve to death!”

Everyone in the Xu family became flustered.

“Don't worry. I've already prepared resources beforehand. Even if Chu Sect were to seal us in, I have

enough resources for us to survive this winter.” Xu Lei's words managed to calm the Xu family down.

Unexpectedly, someone asked Xu Lei an important question, “Ms. Xu, what about after winter? What

should we do then?”

Xu Lei had no answer to that question. That's a good question. Even if we can survive this winter, what

about after that? No matter what we do, we're trapped. We can survive for a while longer, but we can't

change what's going to happen in the end. No one is going to save us. War God Castle is gone.

Everyone in Jiangdong will have trouble saving themselves. Basically, we're trapped, and there's no

hope for us.

“I'm sorry, everyone. I can only assure you that we'll survive the winter. It's up to fate to decide what's

going to happen to us next,” Xu Lei answered softly.

She was extremely dejected and sad at the moment.

In truth, she saw this coming.

She didn't follow Ye Yuyan back to Jiangdong back then because she knew that she couldn't change

the outcome. So what if I go back to Jiangdong? Even though the Yunzhou fighters are strong, they

can only hold Chu Sect off for that long. What about a year or two later? Sooner or later, they'll fall. By

then, Chu Sect will kill everyone. It's certain death, and no one is able to change that. This has been

the case ever since the moment Ye Fan died because no one else will be able to hold Chu Sect off and

save us.

What ensued was silence. Dead silence.

Everyone at the scene subconsciously lowered their heads in hopelessness. How are we supposed to

feel when we know that we'll die after winter? Are we supposed to feel helpless, hopeless, and

miserable?

Suddenly, Xue Renyang yelled, “No! Ms. Xu, we still have hope!”

Xu Lei was puzzled because she had no idea what Xue Renyang was talking about.

With trembling hands, Xue Renyang passed his phone to Xu Lei and stammered, “Ms. Xu, i-it's D-

Dragon Master. This is sent by Dragon Master. D-Dragon Master isn't dead. In fact, he's coming back.

He had once again issued Dragon God Token. D-Dragon Master is returning. We might even get

rescued before the winter ends!”

Tears of excitement were running down his face.

Xu Lei then looked at the message and read every word carefully. Although she had always been a

strong woman, she started crying in an instant.
