Wang Lingbo was angered until he gnashed his teeth in hatred by the side. He knew that right now, apart from his father, probably everyone wanted him dead!
"City Lord, Your Excellency, Ye Yuan is clearly borrowing a knife to kill people. Don't accept his provocation! Even if we really kill my son, what if their Myriad Treasure Tower reneges, what to do?" Wang Yuxiang said solemnly.
Chen Yongnian fell silent. His attitude made Wang Yuxiang's and Wang Lingbo's hearts sink to rock bottom.
"With this city lord around, I believe the Myriad Treasure Tower won't go back on their word, right?" Chen Yongnian looked at Ye Yuan with a heated gaze and said.
Ye Yuan smiled without saying a word but did not answer.
Wang Lingbo's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "City Lord, what do you mean?"
Chen Yongnian said coolly, "What do I mean? Everybody is doing business in Jewelhill City, each relying on their own ability. But you sent people to hunt down the other party, it already overstepped the boundary!"
The moment Old Man Lin heard these words, he immediately concurred: "Yeah! Everyone is clear about the cause of this matter, wasn't this all caused by that shameless younger sister of yours? It was your Wang Family's wrongdoing to begin with, and then you guys still wanted to exterminate everyone! It's too much!"
Old Man Lu also said, "The martial path has the martial path's rules. While business has business rules. Wang Lingbo, you doing this has greatly ruined the rules of business!"
Wang Lingbo's expression turned deathly pale. He finally knew what was called everyone kicks a man who was down.
"You all … You all … shameless!" Wang Lingbo was angered until he could not even speak.
Before coming today, he was still very excited.
But he never dreamed that this play today would actually ring the funeral bell for him!
Now, this situation, everyone already wanted to kill and be done with it!
Even the fellow clan member, Wang Su, was also sharpening his knife.
Wang Yuxiang was extremely furious too and rebuked, "You two old fogeys, shut up for me! You all are really shameless to the extreme!"
Chen Yongnian said coolly, "What they said is right too! Wang Lingbo, since you did something wrong, you have to bear the consequences. Are you doing it yourself, or do you want this city lord to take action?"
Chen Yongnian seemed to be talking about a very dull matter, his voice not carrying a trace of emotion.
Wang Lingbo trembled all over, his gaze revealing a look of despair.
It seemed like he could not escape his doom today!
His gaze suddenly looked towards Wang Su, seemingly grasping the last strand of life-saving straw, saying urgently, "Sir Su, we're close relatives of the same clan. Could it be that you're also going to be subjected to the sowing of dissension by these despicable villains?"
He knew Wang Su's status. If Wang Su opened his mouth, Chen Yongnian might not be unscrupulous and brazen.
Wang Su looked straight ahead and could not be bothered to give him a glance at all.
The matter already developed to this kind of extent, he already had no need to protect Wang Lingbo anymore.
"Elder Brother, it's not that Wang Su isn't saving you; it's truly a situation where the evil we bring onto ourselves are the hardest to bear!" Wang Su said emotionally.
Wang Su's words became the final straw that brought down the camel, shattering all of Wang Lingbo's fantasies.
Suddenly, Wang Lingbo's figure moved, speeding outside of the main hall.
"Humph! Courting death!"
Chen Yongnian gave a cold snort, directly reaching a claw out. Wang Lingbo's figure abruptly stopped.
But right at this time, Wang Yuxiang also made a move!
There was no way he could watch his son be killed unfeelingly!
Chen Yongnian's face fell, and he said with a cold snort, "Overestimating your own ability!"
While talking, Chen Yongnian turned his claw into a palm. A surge of immense force emerged in full force.
Bang!
Just one palm, Wang Yuxiang's body was like a kite with a broken string, flying out backward.
In front of Chen Yongnian, Wang Yuxiang was weak until he did not have any strength to retaliate!
Following that, Chen Yongnian turned his palm into a claw once more. Wang Lingbo's figure was actually directly burst open by a powerful essence energy!
While from start to end, Chen Yongnian just sat still.
With a wave of a hand, one dead and one injured!
The aura that looked down upon the world was displayed in its entirety.
At this time, Wang Yuxiang was still lying on the ground, vomiting blood in large mouthfuls.
His gaze when looking at Chen Yongnian was filled with killing intent.
The pupils of Lu and Lin, two families' old heads, also shrunk, looking at Chen Yongnian with incredible shock.
They also did not expect that Chen Yongnian was actually powerful to this kind of extent already.
It seemed like he was also merely a step away from late-stage Heaven Glimpse.
Chen Yongnian killing Wang Lingbo with ruthless means and bringing down Wang Yuxiang also had the intention of establishing prestige.
He already had not displayed his strength in front of the public for many years. Now, let them take a look that he, this city lord, was not someone to be provoked.
Of course, the most important was still shocking Ye Yuan, making him realize his promise.
The Yang Rui by the side was long dumbstruck with amazement already.
Before coming, he never thought that Ye Yuan's casual few sentences would make the alliance of the three great families and City Lord Manor to fall apart.
Now, Wang Lingbo was dead, and Wang Yuxiang severely wounded. The Wang Family was virtually crippled already.
Not only was this youth's talent extremely high, these means and resourcefulness were also exceedingly formidable. Truly terrifying!
Except, after witnessing Chen Yongnian's means, Yang Rui no longer had thoughts of getting lucky.
Looks like Ye Yuan also knew that the Essence Cultivating Pill could not be protected anymore. Hence, that was why he would maximize the role of the Essence Cultivating Pill, using it to knock dead the Wang Family father and son.
Clearly, he succeeded.
Ye Yuan observed all of this from the sidelines the whole time. These people all posed as people of high morals, but they disowned all relatives and friends in front of benefits. Truly laughable.
Putting it bluntly, they were a bunch of despicable people who only sought profits.
Finished doing all these, Chen Yongnian used an indifferent gaze to look at Ye Yuan and said, "Wang Lingbo broke Jewelhill City's business world order, even death cannot atone for his crimes! Tower Lord Yang, Ye Yuan, what to do next will depend on you all!"
"Depend on us? Depend on us what?" Ye Yuan switched to a smiling face and asked with a smile.
His words made everyone's faces changed!
Could it be that this boy was going to go back on his word?
Chen Yongnian's face fell, and he said, "The condition that you raised, I've already promised you on behalf of their three families! Now, it's time for you to realize your promise!"
Ye Yuan's smile was very radiant as he said, "Promise? Did I say anything? Did City Lord, Your Excellency, hear wrongly?"
Chapter 1350 - You All, Can't Dictate Anything!
"H-Hahaha, what a joke! Truly laughable!"
Far away, came Wang Yuxiang's mocking and dispirited laughter.
At this point, how could the rest still not know that they were tricked by Ye Yuan?
From the very beginning, Ye Yuan never planned on giving them the selling rights of the Essence Cultivating Pill. It was just in order to let them fight in the nest!
Their group of people was despicable villains in vain, unexpectedly letting Ye Yuan watch a good show on one side.
Wang Su's face was grim as he said, "Ye Yuan, you dare to go back on your word and toy with us?"
Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Keeping one's words is reserved for gentlemen. You all, a bunch of despicable people, what integrity is there to speak of? Giving you all the sales rights today, you all will come and annex the Myriad Treasure Tower in the future. But this play just now was still really exciting, letting this Ye see the faces of you all, this group of people, clearly. Heh heh."
Ye Yuan's words were like the emperor's new clothes, tearing off their disguise without any mercy.
Their performance previously was like a clown fooling around.
"Good, very good! Boy, you're using your life to provoke this city lord! Since you did so, then you should have some awareness, right?" Chen Yongnian said with an incredibly grim look.
Yang Rui suddenly stood up, blocking in front of Ye Yuan.
"What do you all want to do? Chen Yongnian, I'm warning you, Ye Yuan is the Myriad Treasure Tower's guest alchemist. If you dare to touch him, that's going against the Myriad Treasure Tower!" Yang Rui said solemnly.
He also did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually be so straightforward, playing this move with the other party.
Now, satisfying was satisfying, but it also incurred public wrath.
None of these guys were good people. It was impossible for them to let Ye Yuan go so easily.
Chen Yongnian sneered coldly when he heard that and said, "Yang Rui, are you scaring me? This place isn't Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure's territory. It's no use for you to pull out this tiger skin! As long as this city lord doesn't kill you, I don't believe that the Myriad Treasure Tower can do anything to me!"
Yang Rui's expression changed, and he said, "If it were before, there's naturally nothing if you killed him. But he handed the Essence Cultivating Pill's pill formula to the Myriad Treasure Tower now, do you think that upstairs will still sit by idly and remain indifferent?"
Yang Rui's words made Chen Yongnian and the rest greatly shocked.
They all thought that right now, the Myriad Treasure Tower was relying on Ye Yuan, and that the Essence Cultivating Pill's pill formula was still in Ye Yuan's hands.
But they never thought that Ye Yuan actually handed over the pill formula!
Like this, the matter was somewhat troublesome.
Even though this place was not Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure's domain, the Myriad Treasure Tower's power absolutely could not be overlooked.
Otherwise, Chen Yongnian also would not be so apprehensive and not dare to kill Yang Rui.
"Brother Chen, today, this punk has to be killed no matter what! Things have already come to this point. If we let him swagger his way out of the City Lord Manor, what face does our three families and the City Lord Manor still have to carry on living in this Jewelhill City? Since he isn't willing to hand over the Essence Cultivating Pill, that's the outcome of fighting to the death, nobody can benefit!" Wang Su said solemnly, right at this time.
Chen Yongnian thought about it and felt that what Wang Su made a lot of sense.
Today, his, this city lord's, face, was considered utterly lost. If he did not kill Ye Yuan, how would he still rule Jewelhill City in the future?
He nodded his head and said, "What you said is right! Even if really killed, it's also not Myriad Treasure Tower's turn to come and punish this city lord! Humph, Ye Yuan, today, you're dead for sure!"
Not just Chen Yongnian, the Lu and Lin two families' old heads also went forward to surround unknowingly, enclosing Ye Yuan duo in the center.
This move of Ye Yuan had offended everyone present.
Wang Su smiled coldly and said, "Boy, do you think that by handing over the pill formula, everything will be fine? This place is Jewelhill City; it's Brother Chen's territory. You … can't overturn the heavens!"
Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "You guys think too highly of yourselves! Don't think that you can dictate anything. In reality, you all … can't dictate anything!"
Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned around and walked over toward the front door.
"Humph! Blind reckless fool!"
Chen Yongnian gave a cold snort, his figure suddenly shooting out, speeding over towards Ye Yuan.
When killing Wang Lingbo and wounding Wang Yuxiang, Chen Yongnian did not get serious. But against Ye Yuan, he was really enraged!
This opening move was a lightning-quick blow!
Yang Rui's face revealed a look of astonishment, feeling like a great mountain was crushing over towards him.
At virtually the same time, another surge of powerful aura billowed to the sky, rushing over toward Ye Yuan.
Wang Yuxiang!
"Brat, not killing you today, I'm less than human!" Wang Yuxian roared.
Two great experts teaming up for a pincer attack, even if Yang Rui had three heads and six arms, he could not stop it either.
Just as he was going to risk it all, a gust of piercing cold wind suddenly started howling inside the main hall.
An additional figure appeared beside Ye Yuan at no idea when.
The moment this figure appeared, it gave people a feeling akin to falling into an ice cellar.
Who could this figure be other than Gui Yun?
It was only to see him flicked his sleeves. A gust of bone-piercingly cold wind howled toward Wang Yuxiang.
Following which, he pointed a finger out, meeting this palm of Chen Yongnian's!
All of this happened in the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint. Everyone did not react on time.
Wang Yuxiang was seriously injured to being with. This attack was completely hanging on with one breath.
This flick of Gui Yun's, Wang Yuxiang's entire person was akin to being struck by lightning, his figure abruptly stopping, already unable to move when it brushed past halfway.
This force-wind froze all the blood in his body.
When looking again, he was actually completely lifeless already.
While Chen Yongnian this side had a frontal exchange with Gui Yun!
Boom!
An explosion sounded out, powerful wind spilling over. Chen Yongnian's figure retreated explosively, even faster than when he came!
All the way until his body hit a stone pillar, did he barely managed to hold steady.
Chen Yongnian's expression was ugly to the extreme. He felt like his whole body was petrified, unable to move a muscle at all.
This shock was by no means insignificant. He hurriedly revolved divine essence before purging this frozen feeling.
"Two-star evil spirit!"
Chen Yongnian's gaze turned intent, his gaze when looking at Gui Yun was full of dread.
That blow just now, the superiority was immediately established!
Very clearly, he was not Gui Yun's match!
These few years, Gui Yun's strength advanced by leaps and bounds under Dustless's guidance.
The Ghost Dao Hundred Runes, he already thoroughly grasped the first two runes. Although he had not broken through realm yet, his strength could no longer be mentioned in the same breath.
Chen Yongnian was not worth mentioning in front of him at all.
Gui Yun's opening move was similarly one death and one injured, thoroughly stunning everyone.
Turns out that this was Ye Yuan's trump card!
This evil spirit's strength made all of them feel appalled.
"Master, want to kill them or not?" Gui Yun gave a bow toward Ye Yuan respectfully, seeking his opinion.
This sentence made a chill run down everyone's spine.
They did not doubt in the slightest that Gui Yun had this strength.
Messing around for a long time, they all, this group of people, were merely clowns jumping around.
Right from the beginning, Ye Yuan did not place them in his sights at all.
Ye Yuan's confidence was never some Essence Cultivating Pill, but this middle-stage Two-star evil spirit!
Ye Yuan's gaze swept over e
veryone, finally landing on Chen Yongnian. He said with a faint smile, "City Lord, today's banquet was pretty good. Putting aside the delicacies, there was even a good show. Now, this Ye is going to leave, I wonder if you still have any objections?"
Chapter 1351 - Ruthlessness Is the Mark of a Great Man
Bang!
In his rage, Chen Yongnian's one palm smashed the few case files in front of him into fine powder.
The humiliation that Ye Yuan brought to him today was something that he had never experienced before.
"Brother Chen, this Ye Yuan is really too much! You're the exalted city lord, he actually didn't give you any face at all!" Wang Su fanned the fire by the side.
Truthfully speaking, he also felt an immense threat of death just now.
He clearly saw Ye Yuan's gaze sweep over toward him, imperceptibly.
That look seemingly saw through everything.
However, Ye Yuan still did not attack in the end. Maybe he was wary of the Wang Family behind him.
The Wang Family was a second to none great family clan in Brightraise City, the experts in the clan as abundant as clouds.
His elder brother, Wang Song, was even Brightraise City's deputy city lord!
Thinking up to here, Wang Su felt proud of himself in his heart.
One shouldn't look at how that punk had an appearance of fearing nothing and no one. He was still somewhat apprehensive in the end.
"Humph! Not avenging this grudge, I, Chen Yongnian, am less than human!" Chen Yongnian said with a livid expression.
Wang Su had an appearance of wanting to speak but swallowing the words back by the side.
Chen Yongnian immediately understood and said to the Lu and Lin two family heads, "Today's matter, I hope that only the few of us know. I don't wish for it to spread to other people's ears!"
Lu and Lin, the two family heads were startled and hurriedly said, "City Lord rest assured. Even if you lend us several galls, we wouldn't dare either!"
Chen Yongnian waved his hand impatiently. The Lu and Lin two family heads hastily took their leave.
They knew that Chen Yongnian and Wang Su were probably going to plot to harm Ye Yuan.
