88: Kill them all

Steward Gong did not give the two of them another chance to refute.

He looked at the old man and asked.

"What do you have to say?"

Yang Ming, who was standing to the side, spoke calmly.

"The Zhang Family has repeatedly sent people to provoke the Yang family."

"Today's battle,"

"will serve as a lesson to your Zhang Family."

"The Yang family welcomes the Zhang Family to come at any time."

"But next time you come,"

"you must bring ten thousand taels of gold."

"As a gift for the Yang family."

"Otherwise, the Yang family will no longer engage in battle."

Under the coercion of Steward Gong,

Zhang Zitian and Zhang Yanchen had no choice but to accept the order.

They took these words back to the Zhang Family.

After the two left,

Steward Gong felt completely at ease.

He had already looked past life and death.

"Come."

"Let me see exactly how capable you are."

Subsequently,

a chaotic battle ensued.

Steward Gong was truly worthy of being an Earth Moon Realm expert.

He was almost invincible.

Even the old man carrying the stone statue

found it difficult to kill him.

In the end,

it was only through the combined efforts of him, Yang Ming, Zhong, Mingyi, and dozens of death warriors

that Steward Gong was killed on the spot.

With Steward Gong dead,

the remaining Zhang Family members were also quickly slaughtered.

Yang Ming placed their corpses in front of the Yang family's gate,

as a warning to others.

People outside saw the miserable deaths of the Zhang Family members,

and were deeply shocked.

Those who had previously sworn that the Zhang Family would surely destroy the Yang family

now slunk away into the crowd.

Some were dejected,

others were sighing.

No one dared to underestimate the Yang family anymore.

Within the crowd,

there even emerged voices claiming that the Yang family could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Zhang Family.

Many believed that

the Yang family had now become a major Family in Yunzhou.

Although their foundation was not as deep as the Zhang Family's,

in the current situation,

they were not much worse than the Zhang Family.

They might even be stronger than the Zhang Family.

After all, they had already killed several members of the Zhang Family,

and even the Zhang Family's steward had died here.

The news that nearly a hundred Zhang Family experts had been killed in Tian Yuan City

spread like wildfire.

This news spread throughout all of Yunzhou.

Those who heard this news

were deeply shocked.

Many people had never even heard of Tian Yuan City,

let alone the Yang family.

Yet, the sudden appearance of Tian Yuan City,

and the sudden emergence of the Yang family,

had actually battered the renowned Zhang Family of Yunzhou.

They had wiped out a hundred experts;

how could one not be shocked?

The Zhang Family.

Zhang Ao Xuan returned first.

He recounted the entire sequence of events to everyone in the Zhang Family in detail.

Before the Family Head could even send reinforcements,

Zhang Zitian and Zhang Yanchen returned.

Both of their faces were pale,

looking extremely miserable.

They arrived at the gate and fell to their knees with a thud,

having no face to set foot into the Zhang Family compound again.

They cried bitterly as they reported the death of Steward Gong and the others at the Yang family

to the Family Head.

The Family Head ordered someone to help the two of them inside.

He was furious.

His face was terrifyingly grim.

The others in the Zhang Family remained silent.

They had originally thought that Steward Gong would succeed this time,

but who would have known

that he would die miserably at the hands of the small Yang family.

Those who had previously clamored to destroy the Yang family

were now all lowering their heads in silence.

No one spoke of destroying the Yang family anymore.

Everyone knew that the Yang family was not so easy to destroy.

The steward was dead.

For ordinary people, let alone destroying the Yang family, going to the Yang family was just courting death.

"A single Yang family has caused my Zhang Family to suffer losses of troops and generals."

"The steward also died here."

"It is truly abominable."

"Invite the Grand Elder over."

The Family Head gave the order.

Someone immediately went to invite the Grand Elder.

In a short while,

the Grand Elder arrived in the palace with several Disciples.

"Family Head, you summoned me."

The Family Head nodded heavily.

"Have you heard about the matter regarding the Yang family?"

"I have heard a little."

"Could it be that even a Yang family requires me to make a move?"

The Elder's disdain for the Yang family was the same as the previous Zhang Family members.

He waved his hand dismissively,

and shook his head slightly impatiently.

"These years, our Zhang Family members have lived too comfortably."

"We actually cannot even solve a small Yang family."

"What are you all good for?"

"I haven't even heard the name of the Yang family."

"And you want me to take action?"

"Do you think I have nothing to do?"

The Family Head sighed, feeling slightly embarrassed.

"Originally, I did not want to trouble you."

"However, Steward Gong and dozens of Zhang Family Elders died at the Yang family."

"If I were to go out, I could wipe out the Yang family entirely."

"But I am the dignified Family Head of the Zhang Family."

"It is really not appropriate for me to go."

"So I can only trouble you."

"What did you say?"

The Grand Elder stood up from his chair abruptly,

thinking he had misheard.

He knew Steward Gong's strength.

That was an Earth Moon Realm expert.

How could he be killed?

Even someone a Realm higher than him

would not find it easy to kill him.

As long as Steward Gong wanted to escape,

it was basically impossible for him to be killed.

But now,

the Family Head was telling him that Steward Gong had been killed.

"What exactly is going on?"

"How could he be killed?"

The Grand Elder asked repeatedly.

The Family Head asked Zhang Zitian to recount the matter to the Grand Elder again.

Zhang Zitian stepped out respectfully

and explained the matter of the Yang family to the Grand Elder in detail.

The previously relaxed Grand Elder's brows gradually furrowed.

The look of disdain on his face was replaced by gravity.

After Zhang Zitian finished speaking,

he slammed the table and stood up.

"What a Yang family."

"They are truly formidable."

"I will set off tomorrow."

"To see what kind of experts this Yang family has."

"Who are you taking with you?"

The Family Head asked.

The Grand Elder's expression darkened.

He said arrogantly:

"One person is enough."

Everyone immediately tried to stop him.

Previously, when they faced the Yang family,

it was also this tone,

and this way of thinking,

thinking that one person was enough to destroy the Yang family.

But in reality, every time it ended in failure,

and countless casualties.

This time, the Grand Elder was stepping forward.

Although he was powerful,

he absolutely must not risk it alone.

If something were to happen to the Grand Elder, the Zhang Family would suffer a heavy blow.

The wolves circling the Zhang Family

would inevitably attack in a pack.

Therefore,

the Grand Elder must not have any mishaps.

"Grand Elder, you must not."

"You cannot risk it alone."

"I will go with you."

"Yes, you absolutely cannot go alone."

"The Yang family's strength cannot be underestimated."

"You should bring more people."

Under the entreaties of the crowd,

the Grand Elder reluctantly brought along several of his Disciples,

as well as over two hundred Zhang Family experts,

and headed towards the Yang family again.

This time heading to the Yang family,

the Grand Elder held a determination to win.

Along the way,

he deliberately had people spread the news that he was personally going to the Yang family.

Therefore,

before he even arrived at the Yang family,

the entire Yunzhou knew that the Zhang Family's Grand Elder had stepped out.

This matter attracted the attention of various forces in Yunzhou.

The Twelve Sects and various major families all sent people to inquire about the news.

For a time,

the small Tian Yuan City was gathered with experts.

The situation was turbulent.

Yang Ming and the others learned of this news,

but did not care.

At first,

everyone in the Yang family always had a sense of fear towards the Zhang Family.

Whenever someone mentioned the Zhang Family,

they would be afraid.

Let alone the Grand Elder,

even if it were an unknown member of the Zhang Family,

just by mentioning them,

they felt that the other party could wipe them out.
