Ling Fan didn't even glance at Xie Canglou.
He was engrossed in playing with the teacup in his hand.
He spoke indifferently, "I'll give you a choice too. Kneel and admit your mistakes, and I might consider sparing a few lives in Miyun Mountain. Otherwise, I will leave Miyun Mountain with no one alive."
Upon hearing this.
The entire scene was shocked!
Everyone stared, dumbfounded, at the gray-haired youth whose face remained as calm as a tranquil lake.
He actually dared to threaten Xie Canglou.
Was he mad!
"Holy crap, this kid is too arrogant!"
"Chief Xie, you're too kind to this trash. If it were me, so what if I snatched his wife? What's the big deal? Why negotiate with him? Just slap him to death and be done with it!"
"If you deem it beneath you to act, allow me to do it on your behalf."
The powerhouses from the various martial arts families behind Xie Canglou spoke out in anger.
At this very moment.
Among the powerhouses of the Jiang family.
The young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Yang, trembled violently upon seeing the appearance of the gray-haired youth!
As if seeing a ghost.
His mouth gaped in astonishment, his expression one of extreme terror.
"Father... Father... He, he is! He..."
The head of the Jiang family frowned.
What was wrong with his son.
Jiang Yang's tongue was tied by fear, but the more nervous and terrified he became, the less he could speak.
The head of the Jiang family cursed under his breath.
What a disgrace!
This useless son, ever since returning from Xingsha City, had been like a frightened rabbit, prone to fits of panic!
On the other side.
Among the powerhouses of the Nong family, Nong Hexuan was in a similar state to Jiang Yang!
"Ling... Ling Fan! He's that Ling Fan!"
He exclaimed in shock.
As if recalling something terrifying.
The surrounding martial arts family powerhouses frowned.
They knew this live-in son-in-law was called Ling Fan, did he need to state it?
Was there anything special about the name Ling Fan?
Nong Hexuan's sudden outburst was too embarrassing for the Nong family.
No one paid attention to the anomalies of Jiang Yang and Nong Hexuan.
Their voices were quickly drowned out by the clamor.
"Heh, let me shatter this kid's skull and see what's growing in his brain that he dares to speak so wildly in front of Young Master Xie."
A powerhouse from a martial arts family sneered menacingly.
However, just as he was about to step forward to act.
Suddenly, a voice announced from outside.
"Jiang Helou楼主 Jiang Baihe has arrived!"
The楼主 of Jiang Helou, dressed in white, arrived with a group of Jiang Helou powerhouses, their aura ethereal, not at all like businessmen, but more like ascetics.
Xie Canglou frowned slightly.
He had little dealings with Jiang Helou, so he didn't recall notifying them.
However, he quickly thought.
Perhaps the楼主 of Jiang Helou wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor with him.
Xie Canglou stood with his hands behind his back.
Adopting an air of waiting for the楼主 of Jiang Helou to pay his respects.
The powerhouses from other martial arts families were inwardly surprised, thinking how influential Xie Canglou truly was.
The strength of Jiang Helou was not much inferior to that of the Jiang, Ding, and Nong families.
The楼主 of Jiang Helou was also a renowned powerhouse in Tianchu City, his strength definitely ranking among the strongest below the Grandmaster level.
Just as everyone expected the楼主 of Jiang Helou to approach.
The result...
The楼主 of Jiang Helou stopped in front of Ling Fan.
*Slap!*
The楼主 of Jiang Helou stood with his feet together, his posture respectful, and bowed deeply to Ling Fan, looking like a junior meeting a senior.
Ling Fan was slightly surprised by the arrival of the楼主 of Jiang Helou.
But he quickly realized that the supervisor Jin must have reported his identity to the楼主 of Jiang Helou.
It was not surprising.
Ling Fan nodded slightly.
The楼主 of Jiang Helou, far from finding Ling Fan's attitude cold or arrogant, was instead beaming with joy!
*Boom!*
This scene was completely unexpected.
Everyone cried out in surprise, stunned into silence.
Wasn't the楼主 of Jiang Helou here to see Xie Canglou...
Why did he stop in front of that Lan family's live-in son-in-law and bow to him so respectfully?
Had the楼主 of Jiang Helou gone mad!
Unexpected.
This must just be an accident.
Everyone thought this to themselves.
Otherwise, they could find no reason to explain the楼主 of Jiang Helou's actions.
Xie Canglou's eyes widened abruptly.
A look of embarrassment appeared on his face!
But before anyone could react.
Another announcement was heard.
"Anwu Hall's He family has arrived!"
The He family!
This was the new rising power in Tianchu City's underworld.
Everyone was startled.
What was the He family doing here.
Could it be that Xie Canglou's prestige was so great that even these unruly underworld forces had come to flatter him?
Not just the He family.
"Anwu Hall's Chen family has arrived."
"Anwu Hall's Meng family has arrived."
"Anwu Hall's Ji family has arrived."
...
A series of announcements followed.
The He family and a group of underworld powerhouses arrived in succession.
Nearly half of Tianchu City's underworld powerhouses had arrived.
The scene was truly shocking, causing countless jaws to drop.
"Damn! Xie Canglou's influence is truly immense, his reach extending even into Anwu Hall."
Everyone exclaimed in awe.
The incident with the楼主 of Jiang Helou just now was definitely an accident.
These Anwu Hall powerhouses who had arrived now had no reason not to be here to see Xie Canglou.
As for this gray-haired youth.
Everyone was dismissive.
What right did he have to make half of Tianchu City's underworld bow to him?
So thought the powerhouses and the members of the Lan clan.
Only a few were exceptions.
Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Sun Jian, and the two sisters Nong Xiuyu looked at each other.
A sense of foreboding grew stronger in their hearts!
Because they knew...
Ling Fan had a close relationship with Liu Han of Anwu Hall!
Perhaps...
These people were here to see Ling Fan.
Under the intense gaze of everyone.
The Tianchu City underworld powerhouses, led by the He family, did not continue forward.
Instead, they stopped once again in front of Ling Fan.
Respectfully.
Completely devoid of the arrogance of underworld powerhouses.
They were as docile and obedient as could be!
"We pay our respects to Mr. Ling!"
The underworld powerhouses bowed in unison.
Ling Fan waved his hand dismissively.
Only then did the underworld powerhouses dare to straighten up, standing silently not far behind Ling Fan.
*Boom!*
Everyone was even more shocked.
What the hell.
What was going on here.
If the楼主 of Jiang Helou was an accident.
Then all these Tianchu City underworld forces couldn't possibly all be accidents.
Once might be a coincidence.
But it couldn't be coincidence after coincidence.
What was the identity of this Lan family's live-in son-in-law?
Everyone suddenly felt.
That the youth they had previously dismissed as insignificant as an ant was perhaps not as simple as they had imagined.
Before the shock of the crowd had subsided.
Another announcement was heard.
"Anwu Hall's Ji Hong has arrived."
"Anwu Hall's Hall Master Liu Han has arrived!"
Everyone's expression couldn't help but stiffen.
These were the two newly promoted giants of Anwu Hall.
After the previous Hall Master of Anwu Hall and the six guardians were killed by an unknown Grandmaster, Anwu Hall completely fell into the hands of these two young powerhouses.
Recently, they had been making frequent moves.
Continuously consolidating Tianchu City's underworld.
It could be said that they had stolen the spotlight.
It was one thing for others from Anwu Hall to come.
But how could even these two be alerted!
What was Anwu Hall doing here?
Everyone was filled with uncertainty.
In the distance.
Ji Hong and Liu Han arrived together.
