As people heard the sound, they looked over and saw a white-haired old man, leading the Yin Zu guards, encircling from all directions.
“Ye Cangtian, you are so despicable!”
“You said it was a negotiation, but you sent people to ambush. Your Yin Zu did such a despicable thing, do you have any shame left!”
Meng Zhenliang looked at the guards eyeing them all around and roared at Ye Cangtian.
These guards were all strong, and with experts like Ye Cangtian and Dongfang Mingyue present, even if they managed to break out, they would likely suffer heavy losses.
“Hmph, despicable?”
“Do you have the right to call the Yin Zu despicable?”
“For your own selfish desires, you are not afraid to become enemies with the Yin Zu, and you use the countless citizens of Longcheng as a threat. Are your actions not despicable?”
Ye Cangtian’s eyes showed disdain as he spoke fiercely.
“This…”
At his words, Meng Zhenliang’s face turned red, but he could not utter a single word of refutation.
The Yin Zu used the excuse of negotiation to gather the various factions here, then surrounded them. While this tactic was indeed despicable, compared to their own actions, it was far superior.
After all, the Yin Zu had no intention of harming ordinary people.
Moreover, this was Yin Zu territory, and their actions were understandable in order to ensure the safety of ordinary citizens.
Therefore, he truly could not say a single word.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian looked into the distance and said, “Bai Zhenshan, capture them all. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!”
“As you command!”
Bai Zhenshan cupped his hands in response and then said, “All personnel, obey the order and act!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill…”
Waves of thunderous voices echoed, and all the guards drew their weapons, marching in unison towards the people of the various factions.
Seeing the murderous battle formations approaching, everyone’s bodies trembled.
These were no ordinary guards; they were undoubtedly seasoned veterans of the battlefield, otherwise, they would not possess such an imposing aura!
And fighting these people head-on, the hope of breaking out seemed extremely slim…
Thinking this, many people inevitably moved closer to Meng Zhenliang, urging him to think of a solution quickly.
“Wait!”
The next moment, Meng Zhenliang could no longer withstand the pressure and directly looked at Ye Cangtian, saying, “Ye Cangtian, if you attack us, the forces behind us will surely retaliate!
At that time, even if we are no match for you, the Yin Zu will suffer great losses, and it is possible that you will fall from your pedestal. Do you think that is worth it?”
Having no other option, Meng Zhenliang could only resort to threatening Ye Cangtian with this.
Although their respective forces were not comparable to the Yin Zu, and not even a branch of the Yin Zu.
However, they were not people to be slaughtered at will.
He believed that as long as the various factions resisted desperately, they would inflict heavy damage on the Yin Zu.
If the Yin Zu’s strength was severely weakened, it might incite the ambition of other forces.
At that time, whether the Yin Zu could continue to control the Hua Xia ruins would be an unknown factor!
It was for this reason that Meng Zhenliang believed Ye Cangtian would not dare to gamble with him.
“Old man, I think you haven’t woken up yet!”
“With you trash, you think you can pull the Yin Zu off its pedestal? That’s a wishful delusion!”
“Today, I want to see how the Yin Zu falls from its pedestal after I deal with you!”
On the other side, hearing Meng Zhenliang’s words, Ye Cangtian’s expression became even colder, and he let out a cold shout.
With the Imperial Dragon Villa now under his control, they had once again formed a unified front with the Yin Zu.
With such strength, not to mention dealing with the factions before them, they were not afraid of facing the other four peak forces!
To take a step back, even without the Imperial Dragon Villa, it would take some effort to eliminate these minor factions, but it would never lead to falling from their pedestal.
Ye Cangtian had this much confidence.
As Ye Cangtian’s voice fell, Bai Zhenshan on the periphery once again directed the guards to continuously close in, compressing everyone’s psychological defenses.
And at this moment, Meng Zhenliang’s heart was pounding wildly.
Facing these guards, if they fought back, it would inevitably lead to a bloody slaughter.
But if they did not resist, falling into their hands would not yield any good results either.
Thinking this, he gritted his teeth and looked at Ye Cangtian, saying, “Ye Cangtian, your arrogance will surely make you a sinner of the Yin Zu for eternity!”
“Heh heh, since you say so, I will certainly spare your life!”
“And then I will let you watch closely as I destroy the Feng Lei Tang! And how I destroy other factions!”
“At that time, you will understand whether I am the sinner, or you are!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled coldly at him.
He did not want trouble, but he also did not fear any trouble! Most importantly, he did not believe that these factions were truly united!
As expected, under the continuous pressure from the Yin Zu guards, someone finally conceded.
“Ye Cangtian, stop, stop quickly! We are not with the Feng Lei Tang, and what Meng Zhenliang said does not represent us!”
“Meng Zhenliang, you old fool, you want to get us killed! Hurry up and apologize to the Yin Zu!”
“Meng Zhenliang, who gave you the right to break ties with the Yin Zu on our behalf? Damn it, I think your Feng Lei Tang doesn’t want to operate anymore. When I get back, I’ll destroy your Feng Lei Tang first…”
Urgent voices came from the surrounding crowd.
Everyone could see that Ye Cangtian was definitely a ruthless character.
If they did not compromise, not only would they be captured by the Yin Zu with an unknown fate, but their affiliated forces would also not fare well.
And they had to consider their affiliated forces, and more importantly, they did not want to die here.
Hearing the voices continuously, Meng Zhenliang’s body trembled with anger.
Moments ago, no one dared to speak to the Yin Zu, yet now…
He had resolutely stepped forward for the sake of all the factions, but when it came down to it, these factions had ruthlessly abandoned him.
Such behavior was utterly shameful!
What he found most unacceptable was that with everyone shifting the blame, the Feng Lei Tang would definitely become the primary target of the Yin Zu, and the Feng Lei Tang would likely face only destruction.
Thinking this, Meng Zhenliang roared at everyone, “You shameless beasts! I was truly blind to have associated with you!”
“Old fool, we were the ones who were blind to let you represent us, almost causing a great disaster!”
“Exactly, you damned old fool, why don’t you quickly confess your guilt? If you’re late, no one can save you, and no one can save the Feng Lei Tang!”
“…”
Listening to the voices from outside the pavilion, Ye Cangtian sneered inwardly.
These factions were indeed all with their own hidden agendas. As long as a little pressure was applied, their alliance would collapse.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian gestured and said, “Enough, I don’t have time for you to argue here. Those who are prepared to make amends with the Yin Zu can now put their hands on their heads and squat down. The Yin Zu will not make things difficult for them!”
As Ye Cangtian’s voice fell, the crowd before him immediately became restless, and then, group after group, they put their hands on their heads and squatted down.
Although this was somewhat humiliating, and it also meant that they would not be able to complete their mission, ultimately, they could still save their lives!
In a short period, the only one left who had not squatted down was Meng Zhenliang.
It was not that he didn’t want to squat down, but he knew very well that his previous words had completely offended the Yin Zu.
Therefore, even if he put his hands on his head and squatted down now, the Yin Zu would probably not let him and the Feng Lei Tang off the hook.
Since they were all going to die anyway, they might as well die valiantly.
“Meng Zhenliang, it seems you are not prepared to squat down? It seems your Feng Lei Tang has made up its mind to be an enemy of our Yin Zu?”
Just then, Ye Cangtian’s voice came.
Meng Zhenliang jolted, and his whole person became stunned. Ye Cangtian’s words clearly gave him an opportunity.
Thinking this, Meng Zhenliang quickly put his hands on his head and squatted down.
He did not know what despicable means the Yin Zu might use afterwards, but for him at the moment, the most important thing was to save his life.
Only by doing so could he possibly resolve the misunderstanding with the Yin Zu.
On the other side, seeing that Meng Zhenliang had also submitted, Ye Cangtian waved his hand to Bai Zhenshan.
Bai Zhenshan understood the gesture and immediately ordered the guards to retreat.
“Alright, since you all wish to make amends with the Yin Zu, I will give you an opportunity.”
“You can now go to Bai Zhenshan and register, stating the number of people and names of your representatives, as well as your hidden locations, and then you can lead everyone to leave Longcheng!”
“Remember, there will be guards following you. If you try any tricks, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
