The damned green smoke, it ruined my good deed!
Seeing the crisis averted by the appearance of green smoke, Zuo Hu roared with anger in his heart, and only then did he calm down slightly.
These people seemed to have given up the idea of snatching treasures, but that was because they had no opportunity.
He dared to guarantee that if he instigated things in the future, these factions would definitely make a move against Ye Cangtian.
Thinking this, he looked at Qing Yan and said faintly, "Qing Yan Louzhu, there is one matter I hope you can uphold justice for us!"
Huh?
Qing Yan raised an eyebrow. Ever since the other party entered, he had noticed the lingering redness and swelling on his face. Now that he spoke, it was highly likely related to this matter.
To be honest, he also knew about Zuo Hu's impulsive nature, and he didn't want to get involved in this matter.
However, since the other party had brought it up publicly now, if he remained silent, it might affect the prestige of Yan Yu Lou.
Thinking this, he made a gesture of invitation and said, "Whatever it is, just say it."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Hu glanced at Ye Cangtian, a triumphant smile appearing on his face, and then said, "Today, I had some argument with the Yin Group, and Ye Cangtian directly attacked me..."
Zuo Hu recounted the events, then stared intently at Qing Yan, saying, "Qing Yan Louzhu, are you going to deal with this matter or not? If not, then the rules that Yan Yu Lou just set these past two days..."
Zuo Hu left his words unspoken, confident that Qing Yan understood his meaning.
Hmph!
Qing Yan snorted lightly. There were some things that Zuo Hu didn't need to remind him of.
He looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Young friend, what exactly happened?"
Ye Cangtian heard this and said calmly, "It's largely the same as what Zuo Hu said, except that Zuo Hu omitted some details."
"Oh?"
Qing Yan became curious, then said, "What details? Please enlighten me, young friend."
After all, so many people were watching!
Qing Yan had to be fair and just in this matter.
When Ye Cangtian heard this, he did not hesitate and directly said, "It was all instigated by Zuo Hu. He insulted the Yin Group and me first, and then he made the first move. Only then was he taught a lesson by me!"
"Oh, damn it! Zuo Hu, you are truly a talent. You are clearly in the wrong, but you're crying wolf!"
"What a talent! You made the first move and got taught a lesson, which only means you are too weak. How dare you come to complain!"
"Zuo Hu, I truly admire you. When you made your move, did you not consider the gap between the two sides? You are truly overestimating yourself, and so shameless..."
As Ye Cangtian's voice fell, the crowd saw that Zuo Hu did not retort, only gritting his teeth. They knew that what Ye Cangtian said was true.
In just a moment, they began to express their contempt for Zuo Hu.
Qing Yan's gaze also turned sharp as he looked at Zuo Hu and said, "Zuo Hu, do you think you are a child? As long as you are wronged, you just tell your parents, and they will come out to help you regardless of right or wrong?
Even if you think so, Yan Yu Lou is not your parents. I hope you will conduct yourself with dignity!"
As his voice fell, even Meng Nan beside him sighed inwardly and looked away. He felt utterly ashamed.
If he didn't lack allies to deal with the Yin Group, he would never have cooperated with someone so impulsive and brainless.
You, you guys...
Zuo Hu, hearing the mockery of everyone, was already furious. Now, hearing Qing Yan's words, he was about to explode.
"All of you shut up! I'm not here to be mocked by you!"
"Anyone who wants to be an enemy of the Tiger King Sect can step forward, and I will accept the challenge..."
Zuo Hu's angry voice spread, and the scene immediately fell silent.
Everyone was watching the show; who wanted to offend people?
After all, they hadn't found the Mustard Seed Space yet! Who would want to expend energy with the Tiger King Sect here!
Besides, Qing Yan of Yan Yu Lou was presiding here. It was likely that Qing Yan also couldn't stand the arrogance of the Tiger King Sect!
Heh, this pig is digging his own grave!
Ye Cangtian, hearing Zuo Hu's words, immediately chuckled in his heart.
Not only was Zuo Hu reaping what he sowed, but he was now like a mad dog, offending all the factions. With this, how would their subsequent actions go well?
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian no longer kicked someone when they were down, as it was no longer necessary.
Bang!
The table in front of the main seat turned to powder with a crash. Qing Yan slowly withdrew his old hand, his eyes filled with killing intent as he looked at Zuo Hu.
"Zuo Hu, do you really think you're somebody? Causing trouble at the Peak Summit, have you even measured how much the Tiger King Sect weighs!"
If it were other matters, Qing Yan might have turned a blind eye.
But now, the Tiger King Sect was provoking most of the factions at the Peak Summit, which was equivalent to provoking the Peak Summit itself.
And as the host of the Peak Summit, he absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen!
Otherwise, what would be the prestige of Yan Yu Lou!
Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Qing Yan, Zuo Hu's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly regained some clarity.
Yan Yu Lou was not the Yin Group; it was a peak power. If Yan Yu Lou truly made a move against the Tiger King Sect, then the Tiger King Sect would not be far from destruction.
Thinking of this, he looked darkly at Qing Yan and said angrily, "Qing Yan Louzhu, you can't blame me for this, can you? They mocked me first, should I still tolerate it!"
As his voice fell, Qing Yan's expression softened. It was clear that Zuo Hu had backed down.
The next moment, he said lightly, "Zuo Hu, if you hadn't done such a foolish thing, would they have had the chance to mock you? Now, I can only say that you are lifting a rock only to drop it on your own foot!"
You!
Zuo Hu heard this, his face darkened even further, but surprisingly, he suppressed his anger and said, "My Tiger King Sect admits defeat. Let them mock me! Let's just let this matter go!"
There was no other way. Not only was Yan Yu Lou using its power to suppress him, but he had also offended others. Continuing like this would be of no benefit to the Tiger King Sect.
Therefore, it was better to take a step back. At least this way, they could continue to stay at the Peak Summit.
After all, they hadn't found the Mustard Seed Space yet, so he couldn't be expelled like this.
On the other hand, Qing Yan was very satisfied with Zuo Hu's concession. The other party had given him enough face, so he didn't pursue the matter further.
Thinking this, he looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, we are all from different factions. It is normal to have friction when we integrate. However, I hope you can be more magnanimous and cooperate with each other sincerely..."
As he spoke, seeing the crowd in front of him looking indifferent, Qing Yan felt very helpless.
He also knew that these factions likely had deep-seated grudges that could not be resolved with just a few words from him, and he was quite helpless about it.
Then, Qing Yan directly changed the subject and said, "Most of the people have arrived. Now, let each faction take out their red gems, and we will verify them together..."
As his voice came, everyone's eyes flashed with light.
They came here precisely to verify the red gems. Other matters were of no importance to them.
The next moment, they took out all the red gems they had obtained and handed them over to the people of Yan Yu Lou for unified management.
No one hoarded anything in this matter, because even if they hoarded the red gems, they might not be the real red gems.
As a further consideration, even if they obtained the real red gems, no faction had absolute confidence to deal with the Mustard Seed Space alone.
Therefore, all factions were very cooperative with this action. Ye Cangtian also handed over the remaining two red gems.
Although he knew that these two gems were fake, he still handed them over.
There was no other way. If the Yin Group and the Imperial Dragon Villa had gained nothing, someone would surely use it as an opportunity to mock them.
They might even instigate others to expel the Yin Group and the Imperial Dragon Villa from the Peak Summit.
On the other hand, seeing that all factions were cooperating, Qing Yan showed a satisfied smile.
After a moment, he slowly said, "Everyone knows that verifying the authenticity of red gems may come at the cost of life. Therefore, I suggest that each faction select some appraisal personnel..."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded. After all, they had no choice. To open the Mustard Seed Space, some price had to be paid.
"Qing Yan Louzhu, I fully support your statement."
Zuo Hu looked at Qing Yan, a smile appearing on his face, and said playfully, "I just want to know, if some factions have very few personnel, do they also have to do this? For example, the Yin Group!"
After being taught a lesson by Ye Cangtian, Zuo Hu still held a grudge. Now, hearing Qing Yan's suggestion, he immediately found an opportunity.
His idea was simple: even if he couldn't kill Ye Cangtian, he could kill the people around Ye Cangtian, and thus vent his anger.
