38: Chapter Ruthless

The moment Yang Yi opened his mouth, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Everyone was listening to what Yang Yi had to say.

They heard Yang Yi say, coldly and ruthlessly:

"I have only been at the Yang family for a few days."

"In the Yang family, I have discovered many cold and ruthless things."

"You arbitrarily bully children who have no parents."

"You arbitrarily oppress the old, the weak, women, and children."

"Is this the rule of the Yang family?"

"Is this the Family tradition of the Yang family?"

"It truly makes me feel ashamed and embarrassed."

"Of course."

"There are some righteous people within the Yang family."

"However."

"The power of the Yang family is held by some despicable villains."

"And you..."

As Yang Yi spoke, he pointed his finger at the Second Elder and the others.

"You are that group of despicable villains."

"Only by getting rid of you can the Yang family become a true great Family."

"Can it become a Family that people look up to."

"And can the Family tradition of the Yang family be changed."

Some people, because of Yang Yi's words, lowered their heads in shame.

Others were dismissive.

Yang Yi scanned the crowd, capturing the expression of every person.

Suddenly, he smiled.

"Now is the time for you to choose."

"Those willing to support the Elders can stand by their side."

"Those willing to support me, who want the Yang family to develop better, can stand by my side."

The crowd looked at each other.

No one had expected that Yang Yi would actually make such a request.

Wasn't this going to tear the Yang family apart?

A few Elders who truly cared about the Yang family immediately stood out to advise everyone not to make any choices.

Some people also tried to persuade Yang Yi and the Elders, saying that they should unite against external threats and should not be bickering anymore.

But Yang Yi and the Second Elder and his group didn't listen to their advice at all, insisting on their course.

Regarding this matter, the Second Elder believed he had a certain status within the Yang family, and that there would definitely be many people who would choose him.

Just as he had thought, when the crowd began to take sides, most of the people basically went to the Second Elder's side, including most of the Elders.

Only a small number of people stood behind Yang Yi.

Yang Ming lowered his head slightly, his heart filled with extreme sorrow.

He could already foresee the death of the group of people standing behind the Second Elder.

Choosing to follow the Second Elder was choosing death.

This point, Yang Ming knew too well.

He had already felt a deep, chilling murderous intent from Yang Yi.

No, he could not just watch them die.

They were, after all, members of the Yang family.

Yang Ming racked his brains, thinking about how to turn the situation around.

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any good ideas.

Yang Ming could only take a few steps forward, reasoning with them, appealing to their emotions.

He spoke of what Yang Yi had done for the Yang family recently, hoping that everyone could feel Yang Yi's regard for the Yang family and his sincerity.

He spoke of when Yang Yi first arrived at the Yang family, and how he had furiously killed the three great Families for the Yang family.

He spoke of how Yang Yi, in order to save him and the others, had become trapped in Dragon Tiger City.

He spoke of many big and small events; in every single matter, Yang Yi had acted for the sake of the Yang family.

The crowd listened, somewhat entranced.

They thought of the scene where they had previously fought the three great Families with Yang Yi.

At that time, their blood had been boiling.

Everyone treated Yang Yi like a god.

But it had only been a few days, why had things suddenly changed?

The crowd also couldn't quite understand, and started to hesitate in their hearts.

Thinking of the five previously unknown children who had become powerhouses of the Yang family, everyone couldn't help but look at Yang Yi with new respect.

Linking this to their own children following the Second Elder, what would happen to them in the future?

At most, they would just be attached to the Celestial God Gang, becoming their lackeys, and reading their expressions every day.

They certainly didn't want their lives to become like that.

Some people's feet moved slightly, wanting to go to Yang Yi's side.

Some people's eyes were wavering, looking at the Second Elder and the others, then looking at Yang Yi and Yang Ming not far away.

The moment they saw Yang Yi, many people's hearts wavered even more strongly.

Because Yang Yi was currently completely indifferent, his eyes filled with coldness and mockery.

It was as if them standing in opposition to him meant absolutely no loss to Yang Yi.

The crowd saw dismissiveness in his eyes, saw pride, and saw a fearless, indomitable spirit.

What exactly made Yang Yi so calm?

Did he have some backup plan?

Just as the crowd was pondering, Yang Ming suddenly threw out a bombshell.

"Everyone, have you forgotten one thing?"

"Yang Yi just returned from Dragon Tiger City."

The crowd was stunned for a moment, and then, as if they had been pulled into some kind of whirlpool, they instantly erupted in an uproar.

One person slapped his thigh, his face full of regret.

"Oh, how could I have forgotten this?"

"Yes, he just returned from Dragon Tiger City."

"So what if he just returned from there?"

"Are you stupid?"

"Have you forgotten what he went to do this time?"

"He went to save Yang Ming!"

"The fact that he could return unscathed, what does that indicate?"

"It indicates that he defeated the group in Dragon Tiger City."

When the crowd realized the seriousness of this matter, their expressions changed drastically one by one.

Even the previously incredibly arrogant Heavenly God Sect Leader now shed his usual arrogance, his body slumped limply against the chair.

Before coming to the Yang family, he knew that Zhong Mingyi had set a net in Dragon Tiger City to kill Yang Yi.

The reason he was willing to be the Yang family's backer was precisely because he knew Yang Yi would undoubtedly die.

The Yang family had no more experts.

The moment he saw Yang Yi appear, he hadn't thought about how Yang Yi had gotten out of Dragon Tiger City, and hadn't even cared about that matter.

But now, when everyone started discussing it, he realized he had overlooked one of the most important things.

At this moment, the System's voice rang out in Yang Yi's mind.

"Ding! System task: The first step in the rise of the Yang family: eliminate the internal pests of the Yang family."

"Reward: 10 Investment Points."

Yang Yi's eyes widened slightly.

It was the first time he had been rewarded with so many Investment Points.

It was a pity there were no other rewards.

At this moment, many people had already retreated from the Second Elder's side to a distance.

However, they still did not choose Yang Yi, but wanted to maintain a neutral attitude.

Yang Yi shook his head slightly at this group of people.

He would never let this group remain neutral.

They had to choose between him and others.

Just at this moment, the Second Elder's lips trembled as he asked,

"How did you escape from Dragon Tiger City?"

"You didn't kneel and beg for mercy, did you?"

Yang Ming, standing to the side, was furious.

"Do you think Yang Yi is like you?"

"Do you think he would be as weak as you?"

"Giving in to others whenever you see you can't win."

"Just like now."

"You submit to the Celestial God Gang, making the entire Yang family have to be mocked by others because of you."
