82: Kill them all, leaving no one alive
It would have been better if he hadn't said that.
After he spoke, Haitang gave a cold laugh.
"I am determined to be at odds with your Zhang family."
"What can you do about it?"
Zhang Ao Xuan wanted to say something more.
But he was stopped by a look from Zhang Yanchen.
Zhang Yanchen shook his head slightly.
He said to Haitang:
"I know the Zhang family was in the wrong first."
"You hate the Zhang family."
"I can understand that."
"If you want to cause trouble for the Zhang family,"
"Our Zhang family will take it."
"But there is no need to involve a small Yang family."
"The Yang family is not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as us."
"As long as you no longer participate in this matter,"
"Our Zhang family will surely reward you handsomely."
"Depends on my mood."
Haitang replied coldly.
She did not give a definite answer.
Zhang Yanchen looked at the old man beside her.
"What is your intention?"
The old man frowned.
He did not say a word.
Many people had already asked him this question.
Were they blind?
Could they not see that he had done nothing?
Why did they keep asking him about this matter?
Just because he was with Haitang,
They assumed he also wanted to help the Yang family.
Seeing that the old man remained silent,
Zhang Ao Xuan said with a chuckle from the side:
"Why aren't you speaking?"
"Is it the same intention as Haitang?"
"Or do you have your own ideas?"
"You are a person of high virtue and prestige."
"There is no need to interfere in such a trivial matter."
"If you do meddle in such idle affairs,"
"Not only will you lose your status,"
"It will also bring negative consequences to Duobao Pavilion."
The old man slowly stood up.
He scanned the people present impatiently.
"All of you, listen carefully."
"From beginning to end, I have never interfered in the affairs of the Yang family."
"Whoever asks me about this matter again,"
"Do not blame me for being ruthless."
As he spoke, he slapped the table.
The entire table was shattered into powder.
The young people were startled.
They did not dare to make a sound.
Zhang Yanchen and the others rushed back to the Zhang family without stopping.
They reported the matter to the family head and the various Elders.
In order to save their own Face,
They deliberately exaggerated the strength of the Yang family a little bit.
They focused on Yang Ming and Zhong Mingyi.
They also mentioned that Dragon Abyss Nine Dynasties Sword.
"A mere sword."
"And it made you unable to move an inch."
An Elder did not quite believe it.
He said to the family head meaningfully:
"Young people are impetuous."
"It is inevitable that they might be defeated due to carelessness."
"Presumably, the people of the Yang family do have some ability."
"Why not send a few more Elders?"
"That way, we can easily crush the Yang family."
Because there had been several failures,
This Elder's words were not agreed upon by those present.
Especially the young people.
Although they were arrogant,
And although they did not take the Yang family seriously,
They had interacted with the Yang family.
They knew that the Yang family could not be destroyed by just a few Elders.
Zhang Ao Xuan was the one with the most right to speak.
He muttered in a low voice:
"A few Elders are probably not enough."
Although the voice was soft,
Everyone present heard it clearly.
The Elder who had just spoken flew into a rage.
His eyes blazed with fire as he glared at Zhang Ao Xuan.
"What are you muttering about?"
"If you have something to say, say it openly."
"Are you afraid that someone will cut out your tongue?"
Zhang Ao Xuan cautiously glanced at the viciously speaking Elder.
He thought to himself:
If I say one thing,
You say such harsh words.
If I really say it out loud,
You cutting off my tongue is a small matter,
But losing my life would not be worth it.
He shook his head with a beaming smile.
"I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything."
He did not dare to say it.
But Zhang Yanchen and Zhang Zitian were straightforward.
Zhang Zitian stepped out and said bluntly:
"Although I am young,"
"My strength is not inferior to some Elders."
"Since I could not defeat Zhong Mingyi,"
"How could the Elder defeat Zhong Mingyi?"
"Zhang Yanchen is even stronger than me."
"He could not defeat Yang Ming."
"How could a few Elders defeat him?"
"Wanting to destroy the Yang family with a few Elders,"
"It is absolutely impossible."
"In your opinion, what should be done?"
The family head asked with a smile.
Zhang Zitian nodded slightly.
His gaze swept over the Elders present.
"If we want to ensure the Yang family is destroyed,"
"I think everyone here should go to the Yang family."
"But for a small Yang family,"
"There is no need to make a big fuss."
"So we only need to send one-third of our people."
"And there must be a strong person to oversee it."
"Who is this strong person you speak of?"
An Elder asked.
"At the very least, we should send the Grand Elder."
Zhang Yanchen spoke at this moment.
The Grand Elder's Realm has already reached the Earth Moon Realm.
In the entire Yun Prefecture, he is also among the ranks of the strong.
When the Elders present heard that the Grand Elder was to be sent,
Many of them immediately objected.
"No."
"An obscure Yang family,"
"How can we let the Grand Elder move?"
"That would be giving them too much Face."
"And it would make people ridicule our Zhang family too much."
"Yes, we absolutely cannot let the Grand Elder come forward."
"I think it is better to let Steward Gong come forward."
"He is the steward of our Zhang family."
"He represents the Zhang family."
"His status is extraordinary."
"With him coming forward, he can not only oversee the situation,"
"But can also humiliate the Yang family."
"And silence the gossip of the masses."
Everyone nodded in succession.
Agreeing with this Elder's proposal.
Zhang Zitian and Zhang Yanchen also felt this method was good.
Although the Grand Elder would not make a move,
Steward Gong's Realm was on par with the Grand Elder's.
The family head pondered for a moment.
He asked with some concern.
"What is the situation over at Duobao Pavilion?"
Zhang Yanchen recounted in detail the conversation he had with the old man and Haitang not long ago.
Hearing that the two had no intention of helping the Yang family anymore,
Everyone felt very relieved.
To be safe, the family head,
Ordered Zhang Yanchen to go to the Zhang family treasury and take a Phoenix Purple Gold Hairpin.
To give to Haitang as an apology.
Subsequently,
The family head called Steward Gong over.
Named sixteen Elders.
And a number of young Zhang family disciples.
And forty-eight Zhang family servants.
They all set off for the Yang family together.
Before departure,
The family head patted Steward Gong's shoulder heavily.
And said earnestly:
"This time you go,"
"You must exterminate the Yang family completely."
"Leave no one behind."
"Rest assured, Family Head."
"I will bring back the Dragon Abyss Nine Dynasties Sword and the Seven Injury Divine Sword for you."
"And by the way, I will also wipe out the people from Dragon Tiger City."
The group marched majestically toward the Yang family.
Before they even set foot in Tian Yuan City,
The Yang family had already received the news.
And it spread throughout the city like a storm.
Everyone knew about it.
Inside tea houses and taverns,
Everyone was talking about the people the Zhang family had sent this time.
Some people even listed a roster.
Introducing them to everyone one by one.
"The strong people sent by the Zhang family this time are as numerous as ox hair."
"The first one is the famous Steward Gong of the Zhang family."
"Don't look at him as just a steward; his Realm has already reached the Earth Moon Realm."
"His strength is terrifying."
"Let me tell you one more thing."
