495: traitor

Seeing this, the members of the Zhou Family also began to mock them:

"Hahaha, Master Yue, why not kowtow a few times? It's harmless, nothing more than losing a bit of face."

The Yue and Zhou families had long-standing grievances, and now that they had the chance, they were certainly going to mock them thoroughly.

Especially seeing the anger on the faces of the Yue Family members, yet their inability to retort, the Zhou Family members felt incredibly gratified, and bursts of laughter erupted.

This continued for quite a while. Seeing that Yue Haoming remained silent, Zhou Yunpeng sneered:

"What, it seems Master Yue isn't considering it?"

"Everyone in the Yue Family, look closely. It is your family head who is abandoning you now. I gave you a chance to survive, but he is the one who doesn't want you to live."

Zhou Yunpeng's eyes were cold and sinister. He didn't just want Yue Haoming dead; he wanted to ruin his reputation before he died.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of many within the Yue Family began to flicker.

Not everyone in the Yue Family was loyal. It was only because they were bound together that they had no other choice. But if Yue Haoming really knelt down and they could find a path to survival, that wouldn't be unacceptable.

Some people even began to urge Yue Haoming with their eyes, hoping he would kneel down quickly.

Although the Zhou Family might not necessarily spare the Yue Family, what if they actually kept their word?

Among those remaining in the Yue Family, some were not core members and naturally weren't very loyal to the Yue Family.

If it weren't for the fact that they were still Yue family members and the Zhou Family wouldn't spare them, these people might have long since defected to the Yang Family like the five Sun brothers before, instead of holding their ground at the Yue Family.

Zhou Yunpeng's voice suddenly grew louder, and he said coldly: "Yue Haoming, this family head will ask you one last time: will you kneel or not?"

Yue Haoming's eyes were bloodshot. He knew Zhou Yunpeng very well and knew that the other party would absolutely never spare him or the people of the Yue Family, so how could he let him get his wish?

"Don't even think about it!"

"If you want me to kneel to you, give up that thought. Even if I die, I will never kneel to you."

Yue Haoming's eyes were incredibly cold; he would naturally never agree to this.

Moreover, whether the Yue Family would be destroyed today was not yet certain. There was still a mysterious powerhouse within the Yue Family who had personally said they would help the Yue Family.

There was no need for Su Chen to personally deal with the Yang and Zhou families; he just needed to step forward and protect the Yue Family.

The True Immortal powerhouses of the Yang and Zhou families had only recently achieved their Breakthrough; their Realm and strength were certainly inferior to the three True Immortals of the Xu Family back then. By comparison, Su Chen only needed to show his face to basically deter both families.

It was just that this mysterious powerhouse had yet to take action, and he felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.

"Zhou Yunpeng, it is not yet known whether my Yue Family will be destroyed today, so don't be too happy too soon."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, a look of mockery immediately appeared on Zhou Yunpeng's face, and he said teasingly: "Could it be that your Yue Family still has a trump card? Why don't you bring it out and let us see?"

The onlookers around them couldn't help but shake their heads at this sight.

Why had Yue Haoming started babbling nonsense?

Everyone was very clear about the Yue Family's current situation; it was almost certain they would be destroyed, without any suspense.

Moreover, if the Yue Family really had any trump cards, they would have probably brought them out long ago; why wait until now?

"Hahaha, it seems it's only natural for the Yue Family to be wiped out. Yue Haoming is simply too stupid to actually say such things."

"Perhaps he's just afraid of death and said it in a moment of desperation."

Jeers continued to ring out, and Yue Haoming glanced behind him with some worry. Why hadn't that lord appeared yet?

Then, he glanced at Yue Xin.

Yue Xin also shook her head in confusion, her eyes indicating that she didn't know the situation either.

At this moment, Zhou Ning from the Zhou Family stepped forward and looked at Zhou Yunpeng.

"Father, after we destroy the Yue Family, be sure to leave Yue Xin to me."

Zhou Yunpeng laughed: "Rest assured."

Zhou Ning nodded, then looked at Yue Xin coldly, a wicked smile on his lips: "Sister Yue Xin, when I pursued you in the past, you looked down on me. Did you foresee today's consequences?"

"Don't worry, this young master will absolutely not kill you."

"Once the Yue Family is destroyed, I will keep you by my side and raise you as a spirit pet, letting you experience what it feels like to be toyed with."

"Hahahaha."

Arrogant laughter rang out, and Zhou Ning's expression was extremely excited.

Yue Xin's small face turned deathly pale, and her eyes were filled with fear. She believed that Zhou Ning was definitely capable of doing such things. If she fell into his hands, the outcome would surely be miserable.

Yang Li suddenly stepped out and looked at Zhou Yunpeng: "Master Zhou, let's destroy this Yue Family as soon as possible to avoid any complications."

Although the Yue Family was relatively weak, they were considered to have some seniority in Jueyang City—at least more seniority than their Zhou and Yang families.

Who knows, they might really have some trump card.

If the Yue Family ultimately wasn't destroyed, they would suffer a huge loss.

Zhou Yunpeng laughed: "Why worry, Master Yang? This Yue Family can no longer stir up any waves. However, there is indeed no need to continue playing around, so let's destroy this Yue Family."

His words were understated, as if he were doing something insignificant.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Yue Family immediately tensed up, drew their weapons, and looked at the Zhou and Yang families with full vigilance.

"Pfft!"

At this very moment, a crisp sound rang out. Yue Haoming lowered his head, his face full of disbelief.

He saw a dagger stained with blood at his stomach.

Yue Haoming turned his head with difficulty and saw a familiar figure standing behind him.

"Grand Elder, what are you doing!?"

A roar rang out. Yue Xin's face was also filled with disbelief; the person who had ambushed Yue Haoming was actually the Yue Family's Grand Elder, Yue Bingshan.

Although many in the Yue Family found it hard to accept, they now had to protect Yue Haoming, and a group of people prepared to intervene.

Yue Haoming also directly raised his hand to strike. Yue Bingshan used this blow to fly backward, his face full of mockery: "Yue Haoming, you will definitely die today!"

Yue Haoming knelt down, his whole body weak and powerless.

He had already been seriously injured before, and being ambushed now was devastating for him. In the upcoming battle at least, his strength had regressed by nearly fifty percent.

Yue Haoming's current state could only exert thirty or forty percent of his strength, and now that it was halved again, basically any Earth Immortal Cultivator could easily defeat him.

"Yue Bingshan, you... you traitor!"

Yue Haoming was furious. He raised his hand, trembling as he pointed at Yue Bingshan, his eyes filled with rage.
