"The Xu family, huh," Chen Zemin murmured as he understood who her sister was talking about.
And he also had the same idea in mind as he knew that if he wanted to get information about these kinds of incidents, the Xu family was the only family you could turn to.
This is because not only do they have the strongest intelligence-gathering army under them, but all of the top leaders have their cultivation realms stuck at the Peak Incarnation realm.
So, if they need to ask anyone about this, the Xu family might be the best shot.
This caused the elders of the family to perk up, as this would mean that they would not have too much in this incident as the answer is in their hands, making it a super hard incident.
"I agree with Min's opinion," Elder Xiao, the oldest ancestor, nodded.
"But would they help us? We haven't exactly been the closest of allies."
Chen Min smiled. "Leave that to me. Although we might now be close on the surface, but that is not the case behind the scenes."
The other elders and ancestors nodded, trusting their family head's own sister's judgment.
"Alright," Chen Zemin said as he looked around the room to see if anyone had anything else to say.
"If we're going to ask the Xu family for help, we'll need to go there knowing what we need to ask. Let's make sure we have all the facts and reports right."
"Yes," the elders and ancestors agreed.
"We'll meet with the other family heads later," he continued. "Until then, let's focus on preparing our defenses and gathering intelligence. We'll decide on a course of action after we hear from the Xu family."
The meeting adjourned, and the elders and ancestors began their respective tasks.
In the meantime, Chen Min, her brother, and her younger sister, Chen Mei, were talking about this incident in Chen Zemin's office.
"What are your thoughts about this?" Chen Min asked, turning to her brother.
"It's too early to tell," Chen Zemin said. "There are still many things we don't know. And, from what we have learned, the Xu family must have borne the major brunt of this attack while letting a few go for us."
"Agreed," Chen Mei said.
"However, the fact is that there is no early warning, which is a flaw we need to fix as what we saw today is an understaffed member that needs heavy cash flow to work."
"Why would they keep us in the dark?" Chen Zemin asked.
This is a good advantage, especially when you are facing an enemy whose numbers are dwindling and who is being slaughtered in large numbers.
Xu Qianghua watched as the last few battles were finished, and the Zerg were completely defeated, leaving no survivors behind.
"Looks like things are wrapping up," Bai Lingyun murmured, her gaze on the projection.
"Yeah," Liu Meiying agreed.
"But it is not an easy victory," Xu Qianghua noted.
"Indeed," the mother-in-laws nodded.
"So, what now?" Su Lian asked, still sitting on Xu Qianghua's lap.
"Now, we wait," Xu Qianghua replied.
"Wait for what?" Su Lian tilted her head, curious.
"Wait for the top families to approach us and ask about the Zerg and figure out the whole situation," Xu Qianghua explained.
"Oh," Su Lian nodded, understanding.
"And after that?" Liu Meiying inquired.
"After that, the top families will probably try to see how they will fare against them or just won't care and just sit on the fence waiting for them to come back before doing anything," Xu Qianghua responded.
"But will they come back?" Bai Lingyun asked, worried.
"I believe so, as this is a scouting party," Xu Qianghua replied. "They may have lost the battle, but we let the few go back, which will be how they will understand us, which would let them plan and organize a more powerful attack.
Of course, this would depend on how involved they are in the war against the other race in the sector, but they should send a few ships commanded by Incarnation realm Zerg.
"Sounds fun," Su Lian giggled.
"It is," Xu Qianghua nodded, but the two mothers-in-law, on the other hand, had a different thought.
"Do you think this is wise?" Liu Meiying questioned. "Wouldn't it be better if we kept this quiet and just dealt with them ourselves?
Instead, we had to involve everyone on the planet."
