NOVEL WEB Chapter 754: That guy is a disaster! Stay away from him!
The gray-robed elder from the Wu Family, though he was just barely a Martial Emperor Strong, could only curl up and didn't dare to make any move in front of Hua Taikang!
Hua Taikang gave the gray-robed elder a dismissive glance, "You didn't attack Miss Ling just now, so I won't kill you. I'll degrade your realm by one level."
Woosh!
A Martial Arts Qi rushed towards the top of the elder's head!
In the next moment, the gray-robed elder realized his strength had reduced from the Martial Emperor Level directly to the Martial Venerable Realm!
Huh?
First, the gray-robed elder's eyes widened in shock, then his face lit up with joy!
In such a situation today, he saw his death as certain.
And yet, Grandpa Hua had only lowered his Martial Arts Qi by one level?
This... was truly a massive surprise!
A fighter in the Martial Venerable Realm, looking at the Secular World, remained a formidable existence. Now that the Wu Family was certainly facing death, if he detached from the Wu Family and just stayed far away, finding a safe place, he could still live quite comfortably!
"Thank you, Grandpa Hua! Thank you!"
Without any hesitation, the gray-robed elder knelt before Hua Taikang, knocked his head on the ground several times, then also gave two bows towards Ling Yanqiu!
His life, it was saved!
After he finished bowing, the gray-robed elder stood up without any hesitation and scrambling, dashed towards the main entrance—wishing he had more legs than he did.
"Miss Ling! I apologize for the inconvenience, it's a laps in discipline on my Hua Family's part... On behalf of the Hua Family, I apologize to Miss Ling!" Having said that, Hua Taikang, the third most powerful figure in the Hua Family, actually bowed deeply before Ling Yanqiu in front of thousands of guests present, his attitude utterly sincere!
"Ah? Grandpa Hua, you are too polite... there is no need for this..." Ling Yanqiu felt overwhelmed with honor!
Though from Ye Fan's words, Ling Yanqiu had an advanced inkling about the Hua Family's stance, and she was aware there must be some connection or dealings with Ye Fan.
But the display put on by the Hua Family was truly shocking!
One of the top three authorities of a Supreme Family in the Ancient Martial World was actually bowing and apologizing to a woman CEO of a family from the Capital—can you believe it?
And just a few seconds ago, Hua Taikang had directly slain another young master from a Supreme Family.
The contrast between then and now was just too stark!
Was Hua Taikang doing this to honor the Ling Family?
What a joke!
Ling Yanqiu was very clear; everything the Hua Family did was in consideration of Ye Fan.
Ye Fan, that damn guy, how much influence does he hold, that even the Hua Family is willing to submit... yes, submit! The current attitude of the Hua Family could only be described as submission!
"Miss Ling, this Elixir Pills cooperation is just the beginning! In the future, please look after us more," Hua Taikang respectfully bowed his fist towards Ling Yanqiu before raising his head to address the shocked guests, "Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for the family matter… Please, there's no need to panic, continue with your meals and drinks!"
"This gathering is a rare opportunity, and although there is only one spot for cooperation, having such a platform for everyone to interact is also good, isn't it? The lady beside me here is the President Ling Yanqiu of the Ling Family in the Capital... everyone please take a moment to get to know her and feel free to interact with Miss Ling!"
Hua Taikang formally introduced her to all the guests present!
The venue once again fell into immediate silence!
Hua Taikang personally killing Wu Hai and then solemnly introducing Ling Yanqiu—what did this imply?
Hint?
No!
This was already an outright declaration!
It was with a domineering declaration that from today onward, the Ling Family in the Capital was under the protection of the Ancient Martial Hua Family... Anyone daring to oppose the Ling Family would be declaring war against the Hua Family!
As for tonight's cooperation project, do I even need to say it?
Naturally, it was the predetermined Ling Family!
Previously, the Wu Family had contested with the Ling Family, but now even with Prince Jin's support behind the Wu Family, the Hua Family seemed ready to confront Prince Jin head-on!
Although Prince Jin had laid out plans throughout Great Xia, intending to usurp the nation, facing the Supreme Ancient Martial Families, he still did not dare to make reckless moves!
Moreover, now that Prince Jin was confined in an underground training chamber, his movements were restricted.
"Ah? This..."
Beside him, Young Master Yan and others, who were caught by the Hua Family's bodyguards, were completely shocked upon witnessing the current situation!
Hua Chang'an had plotted for so long, planning to assist the Wu Family tonight, but had never expected to be caught in a situation where while the mantis catches the cicada, the oriole stalks behind; Grandpa Hua had anticipated everything!
Hua Chang'an was restrained on the spot, and Wu Hai even died right there.
From Hua Taikang's intentions, it seemed that the Ling Family had been designated to win today's project from the start!
Had all the planning from Wu Hai and Prince Jin's side been in vain?
Every move was within another's expectations, making them seem like clowns, perpetually dancing in front of others, believing themselves to be flawless, yet in reality, all their actions were under someone else's surveillance.
Now, with Wu Hai killed on the spot, his death was in vain!
It was said that the Wu Family had an old ancestor, whose strength had reached the Martial Saint Realm, one of the few powerful beings within the Realm… What if they sought revenge?
A Martial Saint Realm powerhouse was not easy to deal with!
Moreover, Wu Hai had mentioned other actions today by two other Ancient Martial Families!
Why haven't they made their move yet?
It's over!
Just now, the strengths of these wealthy young masters were wasted, and having been captured by the Hua Family's bodyguards, escaping today would be difficult.
To die here so unjustly would be too unworthy!
Sigh!
As everyone was lamenting, Young Master Yan's earpiece suddenly rang, "Young Master Yan, the head of the family orders you to come back at once! Stay far away from Wu Hai, that fool is just a trap… According to the latest intelligence, the ally of Wu Family, the Ancient Martial Fang Family has been wiped out, and the Gong Family dares not act rashly anymore, they definitely won't come tonight…"
In the earpiece, the manager of the Yan Family reported the detailed situation!
And other wealthy young masters who hadn't died yet also received the same news!
Phew!
Upon hearing the news, all the wealthy young masters couldn't help but heave a long sigh of relief.
"Butler, it's already too late! Sigh... We've been captured! Let father prepare to bail us out!"
Young Master Yan looked at Ling Yanqiu, then at Hua Taikang—they hadn't directly killed these wealthy young masters, so there might still be some room to maneuver the situation.
However, the cost to the family might be immense.
With just a simple explanation, the entire situation in the Capital, within the great households, suddenly exploded!
The sudden change of events was so rapid, and Ling Yanqiu himself was a Martial Emperor Strong, with his sister's boyfriend, Fan Ye, backing him up. Both Great Supreme Ancient Martial Families were also dealt with by Fan Ye!
These magnates only needed a slight tidying up to immediately understand that the key figure in this upheaval was one person—Yifei's boyfriend, Fan Ye...
Praying to gods, one must pray to the right one!
