"You didn't expect that by entering a secret realm, you would achieve such a significant improvement. However, even with this immense progress, it does not grant you the right to insult our Su family. Insulting our Su family will ultimately cost you dearly."
The other party's intention was to intimidate Ye Ningze with words, and he also needed to regain face for his current predicament.
But who would have thought that Ye Ningze would not care at all about Su Yuhua's threats?
Instead, he smiled faintly and said:
"Su family elder, I know what you are thinking at this very moment. I also understand that you wish you could kill me right now."
"However, you and I both know something else. In comparison, the conflict between you and me is merely a minor skirmish. Your true enemy is your Su family's Grand Elder. If you are willing, we can join forces to deal with your family's Grand Elder."
Ye Ningze certainly did not possess such strength, but his words precisely touched Su Yuhua's heart. Su Yuhua was not a fool.
He knew why, through the years, he had never been able to compare with the Grand Elder.
The real reason he could not truly threaten him was the lack of someone by his side with the same strength as the Grand Elder.
And now, Ye Ningze had suddenly appeared, someone who could truly help him contend with the Grand Elder.
With this, he would have a way to seize all the power of the Su family into his own hands. After a long while, Ye Ningze continued speaking to Su Yuhua before him:
"But you also know that some things cannot be sealed as allies with just a few words between us. Currently, there is no trust between you and me, so I need a solid and stable relationship."
Ye Ningze's voice was low, audible only to Su Yuhua and himself. Because of this, Su Yuhua's heart began to gradually soften.
He wondered if he should use his daughter, Su Xue, as a bargaining chip, marry Su Xue to Ye Ningze to establish a reliable relationship, and then use Ye Ningze to deal with the Su family's Grand Elder, Su Xiangyang.
If that were the case, he would have to make all necessary preparations, including how to persuade his own faction.
It was known that his faction was notoriously suspicious. They would absolutely not trust an outsider, and therefore would not believe that Ye Ningze would bring them any benefit.
"Are you genuinely seeking cooperation with me, or are you trying to test my limits?"
Ye Ningze remained silent, not answering Su Yuhua's question, but instead letting Su Yuhua ponder Ye Ningze's true intentions. If Su Yuhua could not even figure this out, then he was not worthy of being Ye Ningze's partner.
After a long while, Su Yuhua, standing in place, finally spoke to Ye Ningze before him:
"How can I trust you?"
Ye Ningze nodded slightly and then pointed at Su Xue, saying:
"Even if you don't trust me, you must believe in my feelings for your daughter. As the saying goes, one gives only when they have something to gain. I desire your daughter's beauty, while you merely desire power. We can even view this so-called arranged marriage as an exchange of benefits."
Su Yuhua naturally admitted to Ye Ningze's statement. In fact, he had always thought this way in his heart: his daughter was merely a tool for exchanging benefits.
This was precisely why Su Xue so strongly disliked her father. He had never treated her as his daughter.
In any case, she was just a pawn or a tool in his hands. For Su Xue, this was something she had long grown accustomed to.
Ye Ningze slowly dispersed his spiritual power. After Ye Ningze dispersed his spiritual power, everyone present could move freely again.
To them, the fact that this person possessed such powerful spiritual energy meant he possessed strength on par with the Grand Elder.
Such strength was no longer something they could contend with. Therefore, even if Ye Ningze had eliminated all of them just now, they would have had no room for resistance in this place.
Some still wanted to rush forward and fight Ye Ningze to the death, but they were stopped by Su Yuhua.
They looked at Su Yuhua with some confusion. After a moment of silence, Su Yuhua gave his answer:
"We are not his match. If you want to fight to the death, I have no objections, but you must ask yourselves if such a thing is worth it."
Everyone present fell silent after hearing these words. Even if they were to fight to the death, they lacked the qualification now.
Otherwise, they would not have been unable to move when they were suppressed by Ye Ningze's spiritual power earlier.
In reality, Ye Ningze did not possess such strength. He was merely using his spiritual power to intimidate the other party. This time, his spiritual power had surged.
And his spiritual power could now form an absolute suppression within the same level, but this had a time limit.
If Ye Ningze had not reached an agreement with Su Yuhua, and if the spiritual power of these people was not too weak,
Then Ye Ningze might have already been exposed. It was precisely because of this that Ye Ningze knew that in a one-on-one fight,
He would definitely not be able to defeat so many people before him. At best, he could eliminate one or two, and someone like Su Yuhua would be quite good.
Moreover, spiritual power was not omnipotent. Although it could form an absolute suppression, if the opponent was prepared from the start, Ye Ningze would not be able to succeed at all.
Unless he caught the opponent off guard, but after this battle, the opponent would clearly not give Ye Ningze such an opportunity again.
They would be wary of Ye Ningze from the moment they engaged. And in this way, Ye Ningze's desire to use spiritual power for absolute suppression would only remain a fantasy.
It seemed that spiritual power was a good thing, and Ye Ningze needed to develop it further, even to a level that people could not comprehend, for him to be invincible on the battlefield in the future.
For Ye Ningze, all of this was as natural as it was arduous and difficult.
After the two had made their arrangements, Ye Ningze led his people back to the Sun Base.
Now, Li Mingbo and Liu Qichao, along with their subordinates, had become Ye Ningze's subordinates.
