Chapter 1208 Calamity of the Chun Family
"Ahm... So, what do you say? Want to become my disciple?" Watching the grandfather and granddaughter duo conversing with each other, Xuan Hao decides to interrupt the two before focusing his full attention on Chun Hua.
"Huh!?" Not having expected Xuan Hao to ask her again all of a sudden, Chun Hua froze for a short moment as she turned to look up at her grandfather with a confused expression on her face. "If you can really help my family and your Star Shattering Sect is as strong as you claim, I wouldn't have anything against my granddaughter becoming your disciple. Maybe she would be able to progress further than she could under my guidance..." Knowing what his granddaughter was asking without her saying anything, the old man frowned uncomfortably as he said this while glancing towards Xuan Hao out of the corner of his eye.
Although he knew nothing about Xuan Hao, he could at least confirm through his granddaughter that he did not come from anywhere in the Astorion Empire and wasn't related to the calamity that his family was about to go through.
Not to mention, from what his granddaughter had told him about her brief infiltration of the Star Shattering Sect, he could tell that there was some authenticity to his words about the Star Shattering Sect being stronger than the different ruling families of the frontier city... And there was also the fact that Xuan Hao was someone he couldn't see through even with his strong cultivation base. If the other party did have bad intentions towards his Chun Family, he understood that there was no reason for him to go about things in such a roundabout way. Especially given that his current injured state wasn't that hard to find out about through the other three ruling families who had long since sold off this information.
In such a situation, he would at most be capable of contending against the three other old people behind the three other ruling families, as he was a few minor realms above them in terms of strength.
Contending with a completely unknown opponent stronger than himself... That would be difficult even if he wasn't injured, let alone now that he had been injured and was in a weakened state.
"Grandfather..." Not aware of the inner thoughts of her grandfather, Chun Hua felt a sense of relief after hearing him giving his go ahead. Understanding that her family had close to no chance of surviving through the calamity without help... And with this in mind, Chun Hua turned to look at Xuan Hao with a serious expression on her face. Having finally come to a decision. "Senior, I'm willing to become your disciple!" "Great! Now... What is the calamity that is about to destroy the Chun Family?" Smiling happily after Chun Hua officially agreed to become his disciple, Xuan Hao wasted no time asking about the calamity that involved the destruction of the Chun Family. After all, if he wanted to keep this fifth disciple, he would have to first resolve this matter.
Only after her family situation had been sorted out would she be able to take her back to the Star Shattering Sect and introduce her to her senior brothers and sisters.

As for how the noble family planned to take over the Chun Family's position in the frontier city and install their newly promoted Earth Immortal Realm Expert... That was not something Chun Hua's parents had not managed to find out about.
However, considering that the noble family had already begun to move against the Chun Family, it would not be surprising that they already had a plan set in place for ensuring that their newly promoted Earth Immortal would be the person taking over after the Chun Family was gone.
In the end, the destruction of the Chun Family would be explained as a result of a large number of demon beasts suddenly emerging from the primeval jungle...
"So... In the end, they want to push all the blame on the demon beasts...?" Muttering this to himself as he listened to Chun Hua finishing her explanation, Xuan Hao could not help narrowing his eyes.
No matter how convincing the noble family was, there was no way that the imperial family would simply believe that the Chun Family had been destroyed by a random flock of demon beasts that had emerged from the primeval jungle. Especially considering that said demon beast wave only happened to destroy the Chun Family and nothing else...
"I know what you are thinking, but it isn't that simple, I think they are planning to cause a demon beast wave by intentionally provoking some of the powerful demon beasts in the primeval jungle. Taking the chance to deal with me and my family during the chaos." Seeing the doubtful expression on Xuan Hao's face, Chun Hua's grandfather decided to elaborate a bit on what Chun Hua said at the end.
"Intentionally causing a demon beast wave... Indeed, if the demon beasts really do show up, it gives their story substance. Not to mention, if the other three ruling families cooperate with them, there is little chance of the imperial family doubting them. After all, the demon beast wave is real, and the Chun Family won't be the only one affected." Nodding his head as he heard what Chun Hua's grandfather said, Xuan Hao felt that the current situation of the Chun Family was indeed dangerous.
Not to mention the noble family with three people at the Dao Seed Realm or the fact that one of the three ruling families with a Dao Seed Realm Experts was secretly cooperating with them, just the upcoming demon beast wave alone would be enough to endanger the Chun Family whose Dao Seed Realm Expert was currently in an injured sate!
