"Heh, if your Xue family can meet the requirements of the Guangming Hall, doesn't that mean the threshold for Guangming Hall isn't that high?"
Feeling the mocking smile from the other party, Ye Cangtian chuckled mockingly and retorted.
"You!"
With just one sentence, Xue Yongchang's face darkened.
The Xue family was, after all, the foremost family in Dongjiang City. How could he tolerate being mocked by the Fanhei Alliance, a force of unknown standing?
The next moment, he sneered dismissively, "Ridiculous, what is your Fanhei Alliance compared to our Xue family?"
"Slap!"
As soon as Xue Yongchang finished speaking, Ye Cangtian lit a cigarette.
This action further enraged Xue Yongchang.
This was his home, and the other party was acting so brazenly, clearly not taking the Xue family seriously.
"Sirs, I don't think you're here to cooperate with Guangming Hall, but to stir up trouble, aren't you?"
"Forgive my bluntness, I have a short temper, and if I accidentally kill you, don't blame me!"
Xue Yongchang's voice was gloomy. Ye Cangtian chuckled, tapped the ash off his cigarette, and slowly held up two fingers.
"Allow me to correct two of your mistakes!"
"Firstly, we are not here to cooperate with Guangming Hall. No matter how strong Guangming Hall is, in my eyes, they are merely clowns!"
"Secondly, do not test my strength with your temper, because I also have a bad temper. If I accidentally annihilate the Xue family, how will you explain yourself to your ancestors!"
Bang!
In just a few words, Xue Yongchang's face turned extremely red, so angry that his nose was almost askew. He directly slammed his palm down, shattering the coffee table in front of him.
He considered himself experienced.
But in all his years, he had never seen such an arrogant young man.
To dare to threaten to destroy the Xue family within the Xue family's own premises, he truly looked down on the Xue family.
Thinking this, he glared at the other party and said coldly, "Boy, you should know that words can bring disaster. If you kowtow and apologize now, I can forgive your ignorance!"
"Are you talking to me?"
"Xue Yongchang, I am also giving you a chance. Kowtow and apologize, and lead the Xue family disciples to join our Fanhei Alliance, and I will forgive you!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the other party, his eyes filled with disdain and coldness.
Upon hearing his words, Lan Yue finally understood Ye Cangtian's intentions.
Ye Cangtian did not intend to destroy the Xue family, but to annex the Xue family under the banner of the Fanhei Alliance.
Lan Yue was right; Ye Cangtian's objective was precisely this.
After all, he was from a Chinese faction, so how could he truly help the Dark Association solve their problems?
Therefore, instead of destroying them, it was better to have them join the Fanhei Alliance.
This would also be considered strengthening their own forces, and when the time came to unleash their power, it could be decisive.
"Hahaha..."
"This is the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life! How can the Xue family become someone's dog! Especially a low-class force like yours."
Xue Yongchang laughed directly in anger.
Let alone the Fanhei Alliance using coercion or enticement, even if they offered him the position of alliance leader, he would not bring his people to join.
The other party was too weak; he simply didn't care for them.
He didn't want to use the resources he had painstakingly acquired on these good-for-nothings.
And the words spoken by the other party were the ramblings of a fool; a force without even a Earth-tier expert dared to try and annex the Xue family?
"Alas!"
"It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
"Then there's nothing I can do but help you wake up!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian slowly rose from the sofa.
Seeing this, Xue Yongchang couldn't help but sneer and angrily shouted, "Guards!"
With that command, the Xue family guards immediately rushed into the room.
Looking at his subordinates, Xue Yongchang pointed at Ye Cangtian and said, "Take him down. If he dares to resist, his life or death is of no consequence!"
With that, Xue Yongchang picked up his teacup, took a sip, and prepared to watch the other party's embarrassing display.
After all, in his eyes, the Fanhei Alliance had no strong individuals, so with so many subordinates, it should not be a problem to capture the other party.
Alas!
Watching the guards rush forward, Ye Cangtian sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Immediately after, his figure began to flicker.
In just an instant, Xue Yongchang's brow furrowed. The other party's figure was weaving through the guards like a phantom.
What he could see was that as the other party weaved through, one guard after another was sent flying backward, collapsing on the ground and falling unconscious.
And the other party remained completely unharmed, with no one even able to block his movements.
This was clearly not right!
One should know that the household guards were not weak, most of them being above the Profound tier. By all rights, such a situation should not have occurred.
The only explanation now was that the other party was not a Profound tier expert as he had imagined, but at least an Earth-tier expert.
Damn it, was the Fanhei Alliance always hiding their strength and feigning weakness?
Thinking this, his expression changed again. In a short period, all the guards around him had been taken down by the other party.
"Xue Yongchang, you're next!"
The voice came. Xue Yongchang gritted his teeth and said, "Death God, you merely wish to cooperate with Guangming Hall. How about this, I will definitely help you convey your message, what do you say?"
Through the other party's actions, Xue Yongchang realized that he was an extremely troublesome opponent.
And since the other party belonged to the Fanhei Alliance, it meant that the overall strength of the Fanhei Alliance might be stronger than he had imagined, and they were indeed qualified to be on par with the Xue family.
Therefore, agreeing to the other party's request and resolving the conflict was a good idea, as it would lead to a certain increase in their faction's strength.
"Xue Yongchang, have you not woken up yet!"
"I just said, I'm not trying to cooperate with Guangming Hall!"
"Besides, I also said earlier that if you kowtow and apologize, and lead the Xue family to join the Fanhei Alliance, I will forgive you!"
Ye Cangtian heard this and let out a soft哼, saying irritably.
"You..."
With these words, Xue Yongchang's face was so red it was about to bleed. He had only wanted to avoid deepening the conflict and causing a mutual destruction, which was why he had softened his attitude.
Yet, the other party remained so aggressive and arrogant, which he truly could not tolerate.
The next moment, Xue Yongchang looked at the other party and said coldly, "Death God, are you not overestimating the Fanhei Alliance? With your strength, do you think you can contend with Guangming Hall?"
"Are you really not using your brain properly?"
"I said, Guangming Hall is merely a clown in my eyes!"
"Furthermore, once the Xue family joins the Fanhei Alliance, you must sever ties with Guangming Hall. If you do anything ungrateful, it will be your own destruction!"
Ye Cangtian looked at the other party with disdain. He had already explained it very clearly and his intentions were very obvious.
If he truly feared Guangming Hall, why would he come here himself?
Yet the other party kept asking such idiotic questions, which truly made him very helpless.
"Hmph!"
"Death God, I advise you not to waste your efforts!"
"I will absolutely not join the Fanhei Alliance!"
Xue Yongchang snorted coldly, his hands trembled, he drew out a long spear, and pointed it directly at Ye Cangtian.
Although the other party appeared imposing and truly didn't care about Guangming Hall, how could he gamble?
After all, the rise of Guangming Hall was something everyone knew, and the Fanhei Alliance, before the other party's arrival, was still considered a trash faction in his impression.
Even if he now had a new understanding of the Fanhei Alliance's strength, he still didn't believe that the Fanhei Alliance could deal with Guangming Hall!
It was simple logic: if the Fanhei Alliance truly possessed such strength, why would they have been expelled by the Dark Association to Dongjiang City!
In that case, the real clowns should be the Fanhei Alliance.
And if he led his family to join the Fanhei Alliance, it would very likely bring about the destruction of his family!
"Alas! You are truly incorrigible!"
"Then there's nothing I can do but help you wake up again!"
Looking at the other party's actions, Ye Cangtian sighed.
As he spoke, his figure flashed, and he was already beside Xue Yongchang.
Seeing Ye Cangtian's seemingly effortless palm strike, Xue Yongchang was startled and quickly swung his spear to block.
He knew very well that the other party's speed was extraordinary, so such a casual palm strike must be a feint, and he could not be careless.
Bang!
However, in the next moment, Ye Cangtian's palm still penetrated Xue Yongchang's block and directly landed on Xue Yongchang's chest, sending him flying backward.
