651: Chapter 651 When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down!

Daxiang Maru closed his eyes, tears sliding from the corners of his wrinkled eyes.

He slowly raised his hand and pressed the end-call button.

The voice on the other end of the phone came to an abrupt halt.

The banquet hall was terrifyingly quiet.

Everyone looked at Daxiang Maru's tear-streaked face, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

The Tachi Sect leader, who just a moment ago had been insufferably arrogant and threatened to exterminate the Chu Family, was now kneeling on the ground like a stray dog, not even daring to cry out loud.

Ye Chen put down his chopsticks, picked up his wine glass for a small sip, and said indifferently, "So? Do you believe me now?"

Daxiang Maru snapped his eyes open and stared fixedly at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with bone-deep fear.

"You... who exactly are you?"

"How can you... command the Empress of Japan?"

Ye Chen put down his wine glass and spoke calmly.

"My name is Ye Chen."

"And this is the consequence of offending me and my disciple."

"I am extremely protective of my own."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the hundreds of black-clad warriors behind Daxiang Maru.

"As for you all..."

"I gave you a third choice just now, but you didn't cherish it."

"Now, there are no choices left."

As his voice fell.

Daxiang Maru's pupils suddenly constricted.

Ye Chen?

For a Ye Chen to be this fierce and unreasonable, there could probably be only one...

The one marked as a [Dangerous Person] within the Kunlun Ruins!!!

No...

Why did their Tachi Sect have to provoke such a god of slaughter?

However.

Before he could speak.

The hundreds of black-clad warriors behind him were even more scared out of their wits.

"Ya... Yamete!"

"We surrender! We admit defeat!"

"Please spare our lives! We won't dare to do it again!"

...

The pleas for mercy erupted, and some even began to kowtow.

But Ye Chen ignored them.

He raised his right hand, fingers spread wide.

The next moment.

An invisible force surged from his palm, sweeping through the entire banquet hall like a hurricane.

The bodies of those hundreds of black-clad warriors suddenly stiffened, as if an invisible giant hand had seized their throats.

Their eyes bulged, and their mouths were wide open, yet they couldn't make a sound.

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Bye-bye."

As soon as his voice fell, he prepared to clench his fist and take their lives directly...

Suddenly!

"Wait... wait!"

Daxiang Maru shouted in terror, "I... I have intelligence to provide, please spare our lives!!!"

Ye Chen's movements paused slightly, his right hand suspended in mid-air as he raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Intelligence?"

"I love hearing intelligence the most."

"If this piece of intelligence satisfies me, perhaps you all can survive."

Daxiang Maru didn't dare to delay, but he didn't give the answer directly. Instead, he asked: "Are... are you the Ye Chen who killed the elders of the nine forces?"

Ye Chen nodded, his tone nonchalant.

"If no one else has done the same thing, then it's me."

Daxiang Maru's heart sank, and his last shred of hope was completely shattered.

Indeed!

It really was this god of slaughter!

Everyone was wrong!

This person was not someone anyone could just provoke!

He closed his eyes in despair, then snapped them open. At this point, only by handing over the intelligence might he exchange it for a way to live.

So...

He spoke without hesitation.

"The Nine Great Forces are planning to unite to... to take action against you!"

"The Emperors Gate is leading everything, and they will come out to deal with you within these two days!"

As his voice fell.

The entire room went dead silent.

Then, the banquet hall erupted into a frenzy.

"What? The Nine Great Forces are uniting to deal with Instructor Ye?"

"The One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates? Those are the top-tier forces of the Kunlun Ruins!"

"My God... what exactly did Instructor Ye do? To make the Nine Great Forces join hands?"

"Didn't you hear? He killed the elders of the Nine Great Forces! Nine of them! Not a single one was spared!"

"Holy crap! That means he's as good as dead, doesn't it?"

...

Shock and horror were written on everyone's faces.

The Nine Great Forces.

The top-tier existences of the Kunlun Ruins.

Pulling any one of them out would be enough to crush any family in the Secular World.

Now, nine were joining hands.

All just for one Ye Chen?

Man...

This guy really poked a hornet's nest, didn't he?

Ye Chen sat in his chair, but his expression was a bit surprised.

"I thought they would all be mobilized."

"But it's only the Emperors Gate?"

He shook his head, his tone tinged with disappointment, "That's it? This is a bit disappointing!"

The entire room: "???"

No...

The Nine Great Forces are joining hands with the Emperors Gate leading, and you call that 'only the Emperors Gate'?

You call this 'that's it'?

Daxiang Maru opened his mouth, completely stunned.

He had already realized that this young man before him simply couldn't be measured by common logic...

However.

Before he could regain his senses.

Ye Chen put down his wine glass and turned to look at Yan Huifeng.

"Uncle Yan, please have the people from the Dragon Group work with Bureau 749 to take these people back."

"They rashly broke through the defensive lines; let them discuss among themselves how to handle them."

Yan Huifeng was also a member of the Dragon Group.

At least...

He held a position.

Even if he didn't have real power, he had a friendship with Xuanyuan Huo.

The reason Ye Chen was too lazy to fight them himself was because he was genuinely lazy.

Most importantly...

If he called the people himself, he would have to explain everything himself later.

Instead of bringing trouble upon himself, it was better to push forward a "spokesperson."

And Yan Huifeng was very suitable.

He was, after all, the head of the Yan Family!

Yan Huifeng put down his wine glass and didn't refuse: "Since my son-in-law said so, then of course there's no problem."

Ye Chen: "???"

Good grief!

This Yan Huifeng is also quite thick-skinned, isn't he?

He actually called him son-in-law directly!

But Yan Huifeng didn't give Ye Chen a chance to argue at all; he had already taken out his phone, walked to the side, and began giving instructions in a low voice.

Kneeling on the ground, Daxiang Maru breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Although being taken to Bureau 749 or the Dragon Group was also very bad.

They might even be detained for a very, very long time.

And then.

Follow the procedures, undergo interrogation, and face various unknown punishments.

But at least...

It was better than dying right here.

At least, there was hope of staying alive.

As for the family's problems?

He no longer had the capacity to worry about them...

He was about to die himself; if he still cared whether the family died or not, would he be out of his mind?

The hundreds of black-clad warriors behind him also slumped down, some even weeping with joy, crying softly.

Living.

As long as they could live, it was fine.

Seeing their relieved expressions, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"What? You're this happy about being locked up?"

Daxiang Maru quickly lowered his head: "To... to be able to live, I am satisfied."

"Am I really that scary?"

Ye Chen shook his head, too lazy to say anything more.

He stood up, straightened his collar, and swept his gaze over the room.

The guests lowered their heads one after another, not daring to meet his eyes.

Especially those who had just echoed Wang Shi; at this moment, they wished they could shrink their heads into their necks.

Ye Chen ignored them and turned to look at Chu Shixiong.

"Mr. Chu, I'll leave the rest to you."

Chu Shixiong quickly bowed: "Rest assured, Mr. Ye, I will handle it properly."

Ye Chen nodded and then looked at Chu Niubi.

"Consolidate your realm well, don't embarrass me."

Chu Niubi puffed out his chest and said loudly, "Don't worry, Master! I definitely won't embarrass you!"

Ye Chen waved his hand and turned to walk out of the banquet hall.

Seeing this, Chu Niubi rushed to catch up: "Master, I'll see you out!"

Bai Wanqing and Bai Shanshan looked at each other and quickly stood up to follow.

However.

When he reached the door, Ye Chen paused and left a sentence without looking back.

"By the way, don't forget to take over the Wang family's assets."

"As for Wang Shi..."

He paused.

"Cripple his cultivation and leave him alive so he can see with his own eyes how the Wang family falls."

"I want everyone to know..."

"There is a price to pay for having thoughts you shouldn't have."

Wang Shi, lying on the ground, felt as if he had been struck by lightning upon hearing this.

"No... you can't do this!"

"Ye Chen! You can't do this to me!"

"The Hehuan Sect won't let you off! They won't let you off!"

He roared hysterically, his voice filled with terror.

How could he not be terrified?

If he died, it would be over.

But being crippled was a fate worse than death.

Especially.

Once something really happened to him and the Wang family fell, all the people and forces the Wang family had oppressed in the past would not let them go.

He was truly panicking...

But Ye Chen didn't look back.

His figure disappeared at the entrance of the banquet hall, leaving only a faint silhouette.

Wang Shi was like a deflated ball, slumped on the ground, tears falling uncontrollably.

He knew.

It was over.

Everything was over.

After tonight, there would likely be no Five Great Families, only four.

And those guests who were just fawning over the Wang family now avoided them like the plague.

Some even began to show favor to Chu Shixiong, their smiles nauseatingly flattering.

Some people even stood up and said they could provide evidence of the Wang family's crimes...

Sure enough.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the wall falls, everyone pushes!

Standing in the center of the banquet hall, Chu Shixiong watched all this with mixed emotions.

The game of power was just this cruel.

Yesterday you were high and mighty, today you could have nothing.

And the turning point for all of this was just because of one person.

A young man named Ye Chen.

He took a deep breath, turned to look at the kneeling members of the Tachi Sect, and then at Wang Shi slumped on the ground.

Then.

He raised his head and swept his gaze over the room.

"Everyone, the Apprenticeship Banquet continues."

"The food and wine will be served anew; please, don't be formal."

His voice was calm, but it held an unprecedented confidence.

From now on...

The Chu Family would be different.

They not only had a Heavenly Realm Peak expert overseeing them.

But even more...

They had a colossal entity standing behind them to back them up!!!"
