Nine-Colored Lotus

Chapter 27 The Entire Village Goes Offline

"I hereby declare that the Star South Nine Clans Alliance is officially established!"

Feng Yueying spoke softly.

"Clap clap clap."

Applause immediately erupted from below.

Feng Yueying raised her hands, and silence fell upon the venue once more.

"The Lin family of Star City has repeatedly insulted my husband and son. Today, with the establishment of the Nine Clans Alliance, we shall use the Star City Lin family as our banner!"

These words sent the atmosphere to its peak.

Everyone’s hands were itching, eager to march into Star City right away.

"Charge into Star City, display the might of our Nine Clans!"

"Charge into Star City, display the might of our Nine Clans!"

"Charge into Star City, display the right of our Nine Clans!"

Feng Yueying pressed her hands down again and turned to bow to Xu Fang, "Please, Great Protector, take action and flatten the Lin family!"

The venue was silent, all eyes fixed on Xu Fang.

Xu Fang nodded slightly, "Since I am your protector, it is my duty to ensure your safety."

Ye Longlin, still in the hospital, was unaware that the Star South Nine Clans Alliance had been formed, let alone that they were about to march on them!

Gu Qingyuan smiled sinisterly, looking at them as if they were already dead.

"Tian Ai, you leave first and call the police. I'll handle this with Ye Longlin."

Mu Hanqi’s heart skipped a beat at his smile, her expression turning grim.

The Mu Corporation was very low-key in Star City; few even knew their background. However, Gu Qingyuan was an exception.

Gu Qingyuan knew their origins, which was why he was wary and dared not act against her.

"No, how can I leave!" Lin Tian Ai, though prone to emotional instability, was loyal. Leaving her best friend behind was not her style!

"You know how Gu Qingyuan started his business years ago. If you truly anger him now, and we leave together, we won't be able to escape. Only you can get away!

His target now is Ye Longlin, and I am the sole daughter of the Mu family, so he won't dare do anything to me. But it's different for you! Hurry, leave and get reinforcements!"

Mu Hanqi harbored some ulterior motives, but in such a situation, Lin Tian Ai didn't think much of it and quickly departed.

"What? You think by letting her go get reinforcements, you'll be able to leave?"

A playful expression appeared on Gu Qingyuan's lips, like a cat toying with a mouse.

Ye Longlin simply watched him quietly, not uttering a word. He feared further trouble, intending to deal with Gu Qingyuan today, but he hadn't expected to encounter them.

Mu Hanqi took the initiative, speaking on behalf of both of them, "Then... you think letting Tian Ai leave is truly for reinforcements?"

Three question marks appeared above Gu Qingyuan's head. He narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

Although he had a suspicion, he hadn't considered that possibility.

Ye Longlin said slowly, "Have you heard the saying, 'If you don't kill a snake, it will bite you back'?"

Stomp, stomp, stomp.

Footsteps approached rapidly, as if the entire floor had been cleared.

Looking around, they saw dense figures in black suits occupying the entire hallway.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyuan sat down with an air of confidence, a disdainful smile gracing his lips, "I wonder if Mr. Ye has heard a saying."

The disdainful smile on his face turned incredibly ferocious. He glanced at his son on the hospital bed and roared with a twisted voice, "That is, do not provoke the owner on their own territory!"

Mu Hanqi gasped at the sight.

She hadn't expected him to summon so many people in such a short time!

"Cut off one arm for one million, one leg for two million. Whoever kills him gets five million!"

As these words fell, the gazes of everyone outside towards Ye Longlin were filled with bloodlust.

It was as if Ye Longlin were not a person, but a walking five million!

"Go! Even cutting off one arm is a million!"

Someone shouted, and the fifty people outside swarmed forward. Mu Hanqi's face turned deathly pale.

"Insects!"

Ye Longlin turned, stepping forward as if he were a gentleman.

A dagger appeared in his hand from nowhere. The dagger danced in his grip like a butterfly, its movements elegant yet bloody. He turned the act of harming others into art, as if an artist were carving his beloved object.

With every step he took, luminous silver butterflies fluttered around him. Following the flight of these silver butterflies, the people standing nearby fell, none able to remain standing!

In just five minutes, everyone lay on the ground, with only about twenty people remaining in front of him.

"I remember you, Serial Number 1615, White Tiger."

Ye Longlin suddenly spoke.

White Tiger finally saw Ye Longlin's face clearly, his pupils contracting. He took a deep breath, forcing a smile, "Sir... I didn't expect it to be you... If I had known this scoundrel Gu Qingyuan was dealing with you, I would never have appeared here!"

Upon recognizing Ye Longlin, White Tiger's expression was filled with fear.

That month was their most terrifying month, or rather, the fear had burrowed deep into their bones!

Back then, to make it easier for his father to manage, Ye Longlin would often select people as examples and let everyone witness him administering punishment!

Accompanying them that month were endless screams!

They had no idea when it would be their turn, nor what kind of punishment they would receive. Those who were punished wouldn't be able to get up for at least ten days to half a month!

When Ye Longlin left, these prisoners were jubilant!

Thus, most of them recognized him.

White Tiger was one of those who had been punished.

The punished were so terrified of Ye Longlin that they had no intention of resisting.

"Clang!"

White Tiger knelt directly on the ground, no longer even wanting to resist.

"Sir, I surrender... I'll testify that Gu Qingyuan ordered us to kill, Sir, spare me... spare me..."

Seeing his demeanor, Ye Longlin was speechless. He hadn't even fought yet, and the man was confessing. Did he look that terrifying?

"Do you strike, or do I?"

After a moment of silence, Ye Longlin slowly asked.

Dao Baihu glanced at his surroundings, gritted his teeth, stood up, and threw his head back, crashing directly into the wall. A bloody imprint appeared on the wall, and he fell straight down.

Subsequently, the 22 accomplices behind him, without hesitation, charged at the wall, the sounds of crashing echoing endlessly.

All captured.

Gu Qingyuan: "..."

Mu Hanqi: "..."

At the same time, Xu Dengui was in his office, reviewing the internal daily report of the Dragon Investigation Bureau, when his private phone rang.

"Old Master Lin, what can I do for you?"

"What? Alright, I understand. I'll lead my team to the hospital immediately. Rest assured, if the other party commits a crime, no matter who it is, I, Xu Dengui, will arrest them!"
