Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Now that Chen Guang was dead, there was no one to steer the ship in Nan Province. When the next person took over, they would have to get familiar with the leadership team here, causing significant delays.
During this period, only Xie Wenzhan held the highest position, and the jurisdiction of Nan Province temporarily fell into his hands.
But why was this powerful figure, who held a significant portion of power, as humble as a dog in front of Ye Longlin?
It simply didn't add up.
“Director Xie, you… you… you…”
His subordinates behind him looked on in disbelief. This was utterly impossible, and besides, everyone knew how much Xie Wenzhan disliked such things. Yet, he was showing such a demeanor.
Moreover, he was the Director of the Zhenwu Department, appointed by the Hall of Glory!
It just didn't make sense!
Xie Wenzhan didn't say much. These four people were his trusted confidantes brought from the capital, and they knew his character well.
“Do you think I would kill an innocent person?”
Ye Longlin glanced at him sideways. Xie Wenzhan trembled, and the words he was about to speak died on his lips.
No matter how impartial Xie Wenzhan was, he couldn't disregard the fact that Ye Longlin was the Lord of the Dragon Pavilion. Anyone he personally dealt with must not be a good person.
With this thought, Xie Wenzhan bowed and said obsequiously, “That's for sure. In that case, I'll take my leave then?”
Ye Longlin waved his hand.
Upon receiving permission, Xie Wenzhan quickly left the scene of trouble, hurrying away with his confidantes.
After descending the stairs, his confidante couldn't help but ask, “Director, why were you so humble to that young man? You are the Director of the Zhenwu Department, and in terms of status, you are on par with the Governor. You shouldn’t be so respectful to a young man.”
Xie Wenzhan heard this and shook his head helplessly, “Do you know who that young man is?”
The few people shook their heads, indicating they didn’t know.
“Do you know who the few people you absolutely cannot provoke in the capital are?”
“I know that. One is the Dragon Pavilion, and the other is the legendary Heavenly King. I don’t know about the others. Knowing these two is already overstepping our bounds.”
Xie Wenzhan looked at them deeply and nodded, “That young man is the Dragon Lord, the Lord of the Dragon Pavilion!”
“……”
On the twentieth floor.
The three people looked at Ye Longlin with disbelief in their eyes, each staring at him as if they couldn’t accept it.
They hadn't expected Ye Longlin to have such capabilities, making the dignified Director of the Zhenwu Department dare not confront him.
Were they more formidable than the Director of the Zhenwu Department?
The answer was definitely no. They didn't even need to think about it. How could their families, like theirs, be rivals to the Director of the Zhenwu Department?
Even after operating in Nan Province for so many years.
The officialdom was the officialdom, and it could not be compared to the aristocratic families.
“You… you…”
Ye Longlin looked up at the three of them, a playful smile appearing on his lips.
“What other tricks do you have? Let me see.”
This sentence caused the faces of the three to gradually darken, and a wordless rage began to surface in their eyes.
Their gazes gradually became manic.
“Ye Longlin, you are too much!”
Chen Fang roared, his immense martial energy fully unleashed, causing the entire Emperor's Building to feel the ferocity within this martial energy.
In a certain room, a young man frowned, “Someone dares to cause trouble in the Emperor's Building? They’re asking for death!”
At the same time, Chen Fang’s vast martial energy suppressed Ye Longlin. The boundless martial energy was fully released, showcasing the full power of his martial spirit.
However, Ye Longlin remained as still as a mountain amidst such ferocious martial energy, showing no signs of panic. He even lit a cigarette, which made Chen Fang’s face even more somber.
Ye Longlin took a deep drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled, “Or perhaps you should guess if your unrestrained actions will attract the capital’s powerhouses guarding the Emperor's Building?”
As soon as he arrived, Ye Longlin had noticed people guarding the place. Not only the Emperor's Building but also the two adjacent buildings had powerhouses stationed there.
This was also why no one dared to cause trouble here.
Hearing this, Chen Fang’s face suddenly changed. Just as he was about to say something, an even more immense martial energy descended like heavenly might.
Boom!
The unrivaled martial energy directly suppressed the three family heads, pinning them to the ground, making it impossible for them to even turn their heads.
Yet, even under such powerful force, Ye Longlin could still calmly smoke, which was somewhat incredible.
“Causing trouble in my Emperor’s Building, who gave you the courage?”
A majestic voice came. Yuan Gang instinctively frowned, about to make a move, but was stopped by Ye Longlin.
“I’m very curious, whose property is this Emperor’s Building?”
An old man walked in slowly, dressed in casual wear, his back slightly bent, but the aura emanating from him made it impossible to confront him directly.
“I am Murong Yunhai.”
Murong Yunhai spoke slowly, his eyes slightly surprised as he observed Ye Longlin and Yuan Gang.
Under his aura, these two could still maintain a normal demeanor, which was quite remarkable.
Of course, this also indicated that the two were not easy to deal with.
“It’s the Murong family’s property, then it’s much simpler.”
“Go back and contact Murong Yuze, tell him that Ye Longlin is here, and let him handle it himself.”
Ye Longlin waved his hand dismissively, exhaling a puff of smoke.
Mentioning Murong Yuze, Murong Yunhai’s cloudy eyes narrowed as he sized up Ye Longlin.
“Your surname is Ye, but the Ye family has no record of you. Yet you have a capital accent. It seems you are the son of that madman Ye.”
Murong Yunhai grinned.
The Ye madman he spoke of was Ye Guohui.
At that time, the Ye family had issued a kill order. After Chen Guang made his move, Ye Guohui wanted to return to the Ye family, but he was blocked by countless people. However, he fought his way to the Ye family, forcibly snatching the young Ye Longlin from their hands, and then fought his way out of the capital.
During this process, at least a thousand people died, and their blood dyed an entire street red.
From then on, he was known as the madman.
“That’s right. It seems the old man was also involved in the past events?”
Ye Longlin’s eyes also narrowed.
Murong Yunhai shook his head, “Not at all. I was merely watching at the time. The Murong family was still dominated by the Mu Hanqi lineage, and they had a very good relationship with Madman Ye. The route he took was provided by the Murong family.
If it weren’t for the route we provided back then, Madman Ye wouldn’t have been able to kill his way out of the capital so easily, especially since it was the capital, the center of power.”
After speaking, Murong Yunhai bowed deeply, “Murong Yunhai, I welcome Young Master Ye back!”
