The people present understood immediately what Ye Ningze intended to do.
He wanted to turn the four great families of the Sun Base into five, or create a fifth powerful force.
If that were the case, Ye Ningze's rise would become the biggest event to have occurred in the Sun Base in years.
It was important to remember that the Sun Base had transitioned very smoothly to its current state. If it truly went from four great families to five.
Then the entire Sun Base would undergo earth-shattering changes, the most significant of which would be the redistribution of all resources.
A portion of the resources originally belonging to the four great families would be handed over to the fifth family, or those who previously had no allegiance would completely turn and flock to the fifth great family.
This would cause the fifth family to fully erupt or rise, which was the last thing the other families wanted to see.
After all, for them, resources and other things were limited. If others had more, they would receive less.
If what they received became less, then what they could give to others in the family would also relatively decrease.
Song Qinglian, the Grand Elder of the Song family, immediately realized what Ye Ningze intended to do after he finished speaking.
So, he looked at Ye Ningze with a smile and said:
"So, brother Ye Ningze wants to establish his own faction. Since you want to establish your own faction, you should have told us, shouldn't you? Besides, this place is only so big. The things and resources it possesses are also limited. Whoever has more and whoever has less will affect the direction of the entire family. What do you think we will do?"
As Song Qinglian said this, Ye Ningze could already hear the threat in his words.
As expected, the other party would not easily allow them to establish a foothold in the Sun Base. Ye Ningze had already anticipated this.
If everything had been so smooth, there would likely have been a fifth force in the Sun Base long ago, not the current four great families.
Therefore, it was reasonable for the other party to intervene and stop him. Ye Ningze simply smiled faintly and said to Song Qinglian before him:
"If it were just that you didn't allow me to enter or establish my own faction on normal days, I wouldn't say anything. But today is different from the past. We need a stronger force to defend our base. I want to ask you, Grand Elder Song Qinglian, if the base is gone, will there still be any families?"
Song Qinglian naturally understood this question, but understanding it was one thing.
There were some things he had to do, otherwise, the Song family would face great difficulties in the future. And if the Taiyuan Base had the first such precedent, he feared there would be a second, a third, or even a fifth or sixth.
And if that were the case, it would be impossible to control the entire Sun Base. This was what Song Qinglian was most worried about.
But in Ye Ningze's eyes, this was just Song Qinglian's selfish desire. It was known that their biggest problem now was not the struggle for power among them, but the safety of the entire Sun Base.
You, Song Qinglian, saw the problem but did not face it; instead, you shifted the conflict.
This itself was an extremely malicious act, and even a fool would know what Song Qinglian was thinking.
Since he knew what Song Qinglian was thinking, Ye Ningze would certainly not let him have his way.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, the Song family was arrogant and invincible. Offending the Song family meant that no one could survive in the Sun Base.
But in Ye Ningze's eyes, the Song family was merely a stepping stone for him to control the Sun Base.
Ye Ningze intended to completely eradicate this stepping stone, and the first step was to thoroughly enrage them.
Only by enraging them would they lose their reason, and once they lost their reason, Ye Ningze would initiate the next phase of his plan.
Among them, Song Qinglian and Song Haiyang were the two most crucial figures, as their intelligence was considerable.
As long as they retained a shred of their intelligence, making the entire Song family fall into chaos would be an almost impossible task.
It was precisely because of this that Ye Ningze challenged Song Qinglian again and again.
And once Song Qinglian was provoked into anger by him, it would be relatively easy to make him make mistakes.
It could be said that Ye Ningze's objective from the beginning was very simple: to make these people angry and eventually make mistakes.
As expected, Song Qinglian immediately became enraged, thinking this fellow refused a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. He vowed not to be blamed for acting ruthlessly.
The Song family could immediately contact other families to hunt down Ye Ningze and his group, eliminate them completely, and then firmly grasp the Sun Base in their hands.
But he forgot another problem: besides these people, there was one person who seemed to stand on Ye Ningze's side, and that person was none other than Su Xiangyang.
If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but Su Xiangyang was different. It was known that Su Xiangyang had considerable influence in the Sun Base.
Once he sided with Ye Ningze, many people in the entire Sun Base would, out of respect for him, support Ye Ningze. If that were the case, he would have to reconsider the cause and effect of the matter.
However, he had already lost his reason at this moment and did not see this aspect of things.
Otherwise, Song Qinglian would not have been so foolish as to reveal his thoughts.
"Don't think that because you saved the Sun Base now, you can disrupt the rules here. Let me tell you the truth, we are still the ones who make the rules here."
Ye Ningze merely sneered at Song Qinglian before him. He was waiting for this very statement. It was known that many of the people present were ordinary people, and Ye Ningze could imagine how they would feel upon hearing these words.
As expected, someone in the crowd said:
"You people are still fighting for power. Don't you know that the entire Sun Base is in danger? If there is no Sun Base, I wonder how you will make the rules for the Sun Base."
After such words were spoken, all the people present, or rather, all the ordinary people, realized the same problem.
