Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 677 Shared Life and Death (1)_1

"Girl, your uncle and your maternal grandfather are not leaving. We’re going to rescue Mengjie. She’s my sister, and I’m not inferior to anyone. We’re strong enough to protect ourselves, so you don’t need to worry about being distracted to protect us," Lin Qingyu declared, stepping forward. "Girl, your maternal grandfather is going to see Mengjie. You can’t stop me."

"Girl, Grandpa won’t let you go alone either. I’ll be with you; our whole family will be with you."

"Girl, Daddy’s going to rescue your Mommy."

"Girl, although Aunty’s abilities aren’t that great, I can definitely protect myself without causing you trouble," Liu Ruoling said with a smile.

"Girl, you can’t leave me behind," Shangguan Qing stated, standing beside Shangguan You, determined that no one would make him abandon her while he fled alone.

"Girl, with both your grandfathers accompanying you, naturally we can’t be left out," the elders chimed in.

"That’s right! We’ll advance and retreat with you, rescue Auntie, and beat that half-human, half-insect creature back to its original form!" Lin Wenjie and his brothers exclaimed, stepping forward to stand before the Lin family men, their bodyguards following suit. If the masters didn’t leave, they naturally would stay. A solemn and deadly atmosphere filled the entire hall.

"Girl, you’re my fiancée. It doesn’t make sense for a fiancée to face danger while her betrothed hides. Grandpa, Daddy, Second Uncle. Zijin, I will advance and retreat with Youyou." Yu Zifeng, tall and slender, rose and stood directly beside Shangguan You, his presence seeming even more imposing.

"Youyou, we can do without many things, but naturally not without us," Zhang Yuchen, Gui Luo, and Gui Mo said in unison.

"Shangguan You, Lan Xuan, Han Yachu, and I are also willing to offer our modest strength."

"Miss, we are your people! You can’t possibly leave us behind!"

"Exactly, Miss! We’ve waited so long for this day. We can finally see you display your incredible powers once again!" Long Hua and Chu Yi moved forward, leading countless subordinates. These were all Shangguan You’s most loyal followers. Everything they held in their hands and everything they consumed were medicinal items provided by Shangguan You from her spatial storage.

"Miss, Li Qing and Li Lan wish to live and die with you!" Li Qing and Li Lan, brother and sister, declared together, bringing a large group of people with them.

"Miss, you can’t forget about Zhong Mingyang!"

"Miss, everyone from the Inferno Gang will obey your orders!" Zhuge Feng announced as he stepped forward, followed by the elite members of the Inferno Gang, including Mei and Huo; all their people were present.

"Shangguan You, our Bai Family will also follow your directives," Bai Muxue stated, stepping forward to declare her position.

"Shangguan You, our Fang Family will also follow your directives."

"And our Li Family! We’ll also advance and retreat together to rescue our Family Head and the Elders!"

In the hall, the assembly of figures from both the underworld and law-abiding society, along with Superpower Users, shocked the various leaders. They were stunned by the vastness of Shangguan You’s influence. Seeing how this seemingly delicate girl now shouldered such massive responsibilities and could command such diverse forces—even people from the Hidden World Village—filled everyone present with silent awe. More than that, they felt a profound sense of relief. They were her friends, not her enemies.

"Big Sister Youyou, we’re with you too!" a childish voice rang out, and the figures of Qi Zhuochen and Elder Qi, one large and one small, appeared in the Shen Mansion.

"Miss, we are also willing to follow your directives!" Another group of people surged in, led by Ji Fan with countless police officers. It was too chaotic outside, and they had been unable to control the situation, so they had come here.

"Girl, with so many people here, you can’t leave us brothers behind!" The Luo Wu brothers also stood up. They were unsure whether it was right or wrong to place such a heavy responsibility on a young girl, but everyone present, including themselves, had an unspoken trust in Shangguan You—a belief that she could lead them out of this quandary.

"Thank you all." Shangguan You nodded, quickly directing the Luo Family, the highest-ranking officials, the Gui Family, the Li Family, the Yu Family, and others upstairs. She left countless bodyguards to ensure their safety and cast multiple protective barriers outside, forbidding anyone from leaving. The televisions in their rooms allowed them to clearly see the situation unfolding outside.

This was thanks to Eldest Young Master Ye, who, wanting Shangguan You to be aware of his successes, continuously broadcast the latest news from various locations.

After arranging everything, Shangguan You began delegating tasks once more. She took out medicines refined in the Medicine King Cauldron and Rigidity Powder from her spatial storage. She gave a bottle of the powder to each person and also had everyone consume her medicinal pills. This way, even if insects later infested their bodies, she would have a way to save them.

"We can’t stop the chaos outside entirely, so let’s at least make them pause. Uncle Yu, Yu Zifeng, Zhang Yuchen, Gui Mo, Gui Luo, Luo Tong, Luo Wu, Zhong Mingyang, Li Qing, Long Hua, Chu Yi, Mei, Huo, Ji Fan, Han Yachu, Lan Xuan... We’ll form teams of two and lead our own people. Upon encountering uncontrollable crowds, sprinkle them with Rigidity Powder to subdue them. This will reduce the rate of destruction and death in the city."

"Remember," Shangguan You instructed calmly, "if you encounter anyone from the Hidden World Village or Eldest Young Master Ye—those you see on television—stay as far away as possible. Do not engage with any of them." If the destruction continued at this rate, the entire city would be ruined. They needed to regain control first.

"Understood!" those whose names were called replied in unison.

"Take these as well." CLATTER! Countless weapons dropped to the ground. She had everyone grab a gun, specially crafted from her spatial storage. She felt very reassured about Zhong Mingyang and his group; they had been taking her medicinal pills and training for years, so dealing with those people would pose no problem. However, she was concerned about Yu Zifeng and the others, which was why she chose for them to work in teams of two for effective cooperation.

Everyone had been assigned tasks by Shangguan You. Only the Lin Family, the Shangguan Family, the Qi family (grandfather and grandson), Li Lan (one of the Four Great Young Masters), and Second Young Master Ye remained behind. Everyone else left the Shen Mansion with their assigned tasks and orders. Watching them depart, the hall emptied once more. Shangguan You finally let out a long sigh of relief. Those people staying here would only die faster, so it was better for them to be outside where it was relatively safer.
