Chapter 1513: Ye Erge, you this we

Chen Family seeks aid, and for a moment Qi Xiong feels somewhat embarrassed.

After all, the Chen Family and Dao Yi Shengdi are now in a cooperative relationship, and there are many areas of cooperation.

From the Chen Family, Dao Yi Shengdi can indeed obtain many benefits.

From this perspective, the Chen Family proactively seeking aid means Dao Yi Shengdi should naturally go to rescue.

But the current problem is that Haotu Shijie also needs someone to hold the fort here.

After all, the opening of the Wànjiè Tiānbēi is not just about you wanting to seize the Tiāndào Qìyùn; others also want to seize your Tiāndào Qìyùn.

Therefore, the number of people sent for rescue cannot be too many; according to Qi Xiong's estimate, at most two Emperor Sovereign powerhouses can be dispatched.

By rights that should be enough, after all, the Chen Family side also has three Emperor Sovereign ancestors.

But this is only the current situation; once we rush to Haotu Shijie, who knows what the situation will be then.

What if one of the Chen Family Emperor Sovereign ancestors falls? What then?

Given Qi Xiong's nature, even a five‑to‑four situation is not considered stable, let alone the possibility of unexpected variables.

This risk is too great.

Qi Xiong pondered and decided whether to rescue or not.

Meanwhile, in the canteen, Ye Zhangqing had just returned to his dong fu, his buttocks not yet warm, when Chen Mang came looking for him.

Chen Mang is now also a canteen worker, considered a subordinate of Ye Zhangqing.

This kid usually hangs out with Shan Hu, often disappearing without a trace; now he proactively comes to find himself, Ye Zhangqing finds it strange.

But before he could speak, Chen Mang, upon entering the courtyard, plopped down on his knees with a puff.

Basically there are no strict rules here at Ye Zhangqing's place, let alone kneeling on a whim; he dislikes that sort of thing.

This is Chen Mang's first time kneeling; seeing this, Ye Zhangqing was startled, then wore a puzzled expression and said.

"What are you doing? Get up quickly, the canteen doesn't do this."

"Please, Elder, save my Chen Family."

"Huh??? What's going on?"

The rescue request was directly sent to Qi Xiong, so Chen Mang naturally received the news as well.

However, this kid doesn't know whether to say he's clever or just blunt; upon learning this, he didn't think to go find Qi Xiong, but instead immediately came to find Ye Zhangqing.

After recounting the Chen Family matter to Ye Zhangqing, hearing it, Ye Zhangqing looked doubtful, first had Chen Mang stand up, then spoke.

"You should go straight to the Shèngzhǔ for this; why come to me?"

I'm just a canteen steward; if you want Dao Yi Shengdi to send people for rescue, you should definitely look for Qi Xiong.

But Chen Mang said without hesitation.

"Ye Elder, now only you can save my Chen Family."

Saying that, Chen Mang plopped down on his knees again with a puff; seeing this, Ye Zhangqing's head filled with black lines.

Is this guy addicted to kneeling? Does he keep doing this out of nowhere?

However, after Chen Mang's repeated pleas, Ye Zhangqing still nodded and agreed.

"I will personally go and speak to the Shèngzhǔ about this; you get up and speak first."

Ye Zhangqing had never thought about mobilizing the power of Dao Yi Shengdi himself.

Although Ye Zhangqing has this ability, even a single word from him might be more effective than Qi Xiong's.

But after all, this doesn't follow the rules, and the matter is troublesome; it's better to let Qi Xiong handle the headache.

Having agreed to Chen Mang, Ye Zhangqing did not waste time; he immediately went to find Qi Xiong.

Both are on Zhu Feng, so soon Ye Zhangqing arrived at Qi Xiong's dong fu; upon entering, he saw Qi Xiong looking somewhat fatigued and asked concernedly.

"How is the Shèngzhǔ?"

"Ye Changqing kid, sigh, it's nothing else but the Chen Family matter."

"Chen Family?"

"Yeah, forget it, not saying it; hey, you kid came for something?"

"Um........ I'm also here for the Chen Family matter."

I didn't expect Yun Xiantai to also be worried about the Chen Family; Ye Zhangqing said with a slightly strange expression.

"You're also here for the Chen Family?"

"Yes, Shèngzhǔ, you know that kid from the Chen Family now works in the canteen."

"Oh, I see, but this matter.................."

As for Ye Zhangqing, Qi Xiong had nothing to hide; he bluntly laid out his concerns.

After listening to Qi Xiong's words, Ye Zhangqing also thought his concerns made some sense.

After all, this is a special period; naturally we should be careful, lest our home be stolen.

But the Chen Family's situation is not optimistic; if you send too few people, it's meaningless and may even cause unnecessary casualties.

Dao Yi Shengdi does not have the habit of using disciples as cannon fodder.

It's hard to handle either way; looking at Qi Xiong's tightly furrowed brows, Ye Zhangqing sat down beside him and also fell into silence.

While sipping the tea the steward had just brewed, he likewise pondered countermeasures.

How many people Dao Yi Shengdi can dispatch for rescue is a trouble.

But as he thought, suddenly Ye Zhangqing had a flash of inspiration and looked toward Qi Xiong, saying.

"Shèngzhǔ, I have an idea."

"Oh, let's hear it."

"Let those Space Pirates take action; we originally have cooperation, this time we can conveniently rescue the Chen Family and also seize the Tiāndào Qìyùn of the Heiyan Realm."

Since Qi Xiong is so troubled, the best course now is naturally to let those Space Pirates act; with them acting, things will be much easier.

Qi Xiong doesn't need to make things difficult, and the Chen family's peril can be perfectly resolved.

Although the Blackrock Realm has only four Emperor Sovereigns, there are already a full seven Emperor Sovereign Space Pirates dining at Dao Yi Shengdi.

What's more, there are also Great Emperors, Great Saints, and Shèngjìng-level Space Pirates.

The strength is more than enough.

However, upon hearing this, Qi Xiong felt uncertain in his heart.

"The plan is not bad, but will those Space Pirates agree?"

"These Space Pirates are all the sort who won't act unless they see a rabbit—i. e., they need a tangible payoff—and the earlier cooperation was solely about Tiāndào Qìyùn."

"You now want them to also lend a hand to rescue the Chen family—would they be willing? And what would the price be?"

"After all, seven Emperor Sovereign Space Pirates, plus several Space Pirate leaders, make up such a formidable force—its price is bound to be high."

Facing Qi Xiong's worries, Ye Zhangqing already had an idea.

"Actually, it's simple—just leave this to me."

"You little brat, do you have a way?"

"Just give it a try—anyway, there's nothing to lose."

"Alright, then I'll let you decide on this."

Ye Zhangqing originally came seeking help, but who would have thought that Qi Xiong also had no solution, so in the end he had no choice but to turn his attention to these Space Pirates.

After leaving Qi Xiong, those Space Pirates were still drinking in the canteen.

Ye Zhangqing proactively approached the table of the seven Emperor Sovereign Space Pirates; upon seeing Ye Zhangqing, they all rose and shouted enthusiastically.

"Greetings, Elder Brother Ye Two."

Still not used to this name, but this time Ye Zhangqing didn't take offense, and simply briefed everyone on the current situation of the Chen family.

Then he urged all the Emperor Sovereign Space Pirates: could they lend their aid to protect the Chen family?

As expected, upon hearing this, the seven Emperor Sovereign Space Pirates all wore grim expressions.

They don't know the Chen family at all, are completely unfamiliar, and moreover have no interest in this.

They now only care about obtaining Tiāndào Qìyùn and eating.

As for the Chen family, what does it matter whether they live or die?
