Nine-Colored Lotus

Chapter 156 Lord of the Dragon Pavilion

As Xuan Niao spoke, everyone present held their breath, watching her.

It could even be said that the fate of the southern branch of the Ye family was in her hands. With just one word from him, the southern branch would vanish overnight.

And the Fang family was the reason.

Fang Cunxin looked at the pistol in her hand, her eyes filled with confusion. She now realized that perhaps she had truly ascended to heaven. Her master's identity was definitely not simple, otherwise, he wouldn't have said such words.

Fang Cunxin called out in confusion, "Master."

Ye Longlin chuckled, "Do whatever you want."

"I... I can't... I'm squeamish..." Fang Cunxin said, her face red and her voice wronged.

"It doesn't have to involve blood."

Ye Longlin stood up, formed a claw with one hand, and released his martial energy outwards, pulling Ye Jian over. Gripping his neck, he asked Fang Cunxin, "Do you want him dead or alive?"

Fang Cunxin gritted her teeth, "Dead! He killed my father, mother, grandparents, uncles, and third uncle. He must die!"

Ye Jian's eyes widened as he struggled, his hands tightly gripping Ye Longlin's arm. "Don't kill me, I won't dare again, I'll never dare again. Don't kill me, Second Uncle, save me. Cunxin, spare me, I'll atone, I'll atone."

Fang Cunxin wanted him dead, but her inner kindness told her she shouldn't. She fell into indecision for a moment.

"Cunxin, it's not Ye Jian's fault, it's really not. Think about it, if you had agreed with Ye Jian, the Fang family's current status would be almost the same as the Ye family's. No one would have died. It's all because you refused, and because you refused, the Fang family suffered all this.

It's because of you, it's all because of you. If you hadn't agreed, nothing would have become like this. You are the culprit. Why don't you die? Why should Ye Jian die?"

The sudden words plunged Fang Cunxin into silence. Her clear eyes became even more confused. Yes, it seemed to be all because of her. If she had agreed, perhaps none of this would have happened?

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'm a jinx, it's all my fault..."

Ye Qingtian's sudden words caught even Ye Longlin off guard. After he finished speaking, Ye Longlin's expression turned somber.

"I originally planned to only kill Ye Jian, but now, you have to be added to the list," Ye Longlin's cold eyes met Ye Qingtian's, making him clearly see the killing intent within.

Ye Longlin shattered Ye Jian's heavenly spirit with a palm strike. His eyes were wide, bloodshot, and even in death, he couldn't understand why Ye Longlin had attacked him.

"Clink."

He casually threw Ye Jian to the ground and coldly appraised Ye Qingtian.

"As a soldier, not only do you not set an example, but your values are also flawed. When something goes wrong, you blame others. Ye Qingtian, you truly inherited the Ye family's shameless spirit."

Ye Longlin sneered at him, then rubbed Fang Cunxin's head. "It's not your fault. If being beautiful is a mistake, then Ye Jian should have committed suicide to atone, as he was an eyesore."

Fang Cunxin trembled, looking at Ye Jian's corpse, gritting her teeth without speaking. Her body shook, and tears fell from her eyes.

"Ye Longlin, you can't kill me. I am a soldier, protected by Great Xia. If you touch me, you will die too!"

Seeing Ye Longlin decisively kill Ye Jian, Ye Qingtian's scalp tingled. The fear of death enveloped him. For the first time, he knew how painful waiting for death was.

"The Dragon Pavilion has such authority,"

Ye Longlin leaned down and whispered in his ear, so only the two of them could hear.

Upon hearing the words "Dragon Pavilion," Ye Qingtian's pupils contracted violently. He cried out, "Who exactly are you!"

"The Master of the Dragon Pavilion."

Ye Qingtian's heart was stirred by immense waves. His gaze held shock. For soldiers, the Dragon Pavilion was the holy land that countless soldiers aspired to. Now, the Master of the Dragon Pavilion appeared before him!

"You... you..."

Ye Longlin gave him no chance to speak, striking his heavenly spirit with a palm. His eyes widened, and his life force was extinguished.

Everyone present witnessed Ye Longlin's decisive killing. In front of him, they, the business magnates, were like children, afraid to say a word.

What a joke, could they dare to speak?

What if this big shot was displeased and shattered their heavenly spirit?

They didn't want to die.

"Everyone, on behalf of Yuan Zhan Capital, I ask you all, do you have any objections to what Yuan Zhan Capital has done in Xingcheng?"

Ye Longlin scanned the crowd and spoke calmly.

Everyone was shocked and shook their heads. "No objections, no objections!"

Ye Longlin: "But we don't have enough funds."

Everyone: "We'll give it, we'll give it immediately!"

Ye Longlin: "We don't have a team."

Everyone: "We do, we do! Whatever you need, they'll report tomorrow!"

Only then did Ye Longlin show a hint of a smile. "That's more like it. We'll earn money together. If there's no money, it's like them, no one might even collect their corpses."

Everyone nodded obediently.

Afterward, Ye Longlin led his people away.

"Hoo—"

After they left, the people present finally dared to breathe deeply. Ye Longlin's oppressive aura was too great, making them feel that even their breathing was wrong.

"Too terrifying. He actually killed people, and it was Ye Qingtian, the defense official. I feel like the sky in Xingcheng is about to change. I never imagined he would be so ruthless."

"Who's not saying that? Too terrifying. Are all members of the Green Army Council this terrifying?"

Ye Mengxin's face was deathly pale. She was also scared. In the Ye family, she had never seen such a scene, let alone death. If Ye Longlin had truly wanted to kill her, she would have been unable to resist.

But he didn't kill her. This disregard made her feel that she was utterly unimportant!

She also left. Staying here was useless. These people would definitely help Yuan Zhan Capital, no need to say more, as they were intimidated.

"It seems I need to notify the young lady, the plan has begun ahead of schedule."

Ye Mengxin sat in the car, slowly exhaled, her eyes firm.

"You killed those two, will there be any trouble?"

Lin Tian Ai asked Ye Longlin, her tone indifferent, as if she was just asking casually.

Ye Longlin replied casually, "Minor issue."

She didn't say anything else, just nodded.

Yuan Gang, Xuan Niao, Fang Cunxin, and Ye Longlin were in the same car, heading towards the villa.

As for the others, they naturally returned to their respective homes.

"Master, I'm sorry, I'm scared."

Fang Cunxin pouted, her small head bowed, her eyes red, her hands clenching the hem of her clothes.

Ye Longlin naturally knew what she meant, and smiled softly, "I know, it's okay. I just wanted to tell you that in this world, only strength matters. As long as your strength exceeds all perception, your status will rise. Of course, it still has to be within the rules.

It's like killing those two, because they killed first, and Ye Qingtian was complicit in harboring them. Do you understand?"
