“Elder Pang!”
Yu Qiang looked at the situation unfolding before him and quickly approached Pang Hai, his hand already clutching the hilt of his blade, “Should we make a move now?”
Although Yu Qiang’s body was also infested with the Poison Gu, after all, he was a warrior at the Martial Emperor level, “Even though the Poison Gu can take my life, before I die, I will definitely be able to slay that bastard Zhuang Chao!”
Pang Hai’s brow furrowed slightly, and his eyes scanned the surroundings, but he still didn’t catch sight of Ye Fan.
But just now, Pang Hai clearly sensed several fluctuations in the aura of the hall, as if an ancient power was spreading through it.
The Pavilion Master had suddenly left, and it definitely wasn’t really to go to the restroom.
When Ye Fan left just now, he had said that the real big fish was still at the scene, indicating that he was already prepared.
“Not so fast…” Pang Hai hadn’t been in contact with Ye Fan for long, but from Ye Fan’s various performances before, this new Pavilion Master was certainly no pushover!
No sooner had Pang Hai’s words fallen than Ye Fan’s figure flashed, darting out from a side door of the hall.
With a smile on his face, he addressed Zhuang Chao, “Young Master Zhuang, why bother with this? Today is Elder Master Ren’s birthday celebration. How about, for my sake, we discuss some pleasant matters today instead?”
Ye Fan stepped toward the center of the hall, his face calm, seemingly oblivious to the cluster of Poison Gu gathered on his shoulder.
“Xiao Fan, he…” Qiu Wan saw the condition Ye Fan was in and turned pale with fright, nearly crying out.
Qing Ruolan quickly intervened, “Sister Wan, don’t make a fuss, Xiao Fan must have his own plan!”
Ren Xueying, Qing Ruolan, Qiu Wan, and the others saw the Poison Gu on Ye Fan and, despite guessing that Ye Fan must still have some cards up his sleeve, were still terrified to the core!
Their hearts leaped to their throats!
This bad man, always scaring people!
Zhuang Chao, seeing Ye Fan appear, especially the Poison Gu quietly clinging to him, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the Poison Gu remained on Ye Fan, Zhuang Chao could control him.
“Hmph! Ye Fan, what are you worth? What face do you think you have? Nothing but a fool. The Ye Family is nearly extinct, and who do you think you are?” Zhuang Chao scoffed and continued, “Feng Hanshao may fear you, but I certainly don’t!”
“Let me tell you, I’ve disliked you for a long time! Damn it, you actually dared to touch Jiang Yuan, ruining the plans of the Gu Sect… Now is the perfect time to settle both new grudges and old!” With a flick of his wrist, another swarm of centipedes flew towards Qiu Wan and Qing Ruolan, encircling them.
“Ye Fan, see for yourself! These are the most venomous creatures of the Gu Sect, your women are surrounded. With just one command from me, they will be gone in an instant! Aren’t you quite arrogant? Show me your arrogance now!”
Zhuang Chao was feeling in complete control of the situation!
Ye Fan’s brows furrowed as he glanced towards Ren Xueying and Qing Ruolan.
Qing Ruolan immediately said, “Xiao Fan, don’t worry about us here, concentrate on what you need to do!”
Having followed Ye Fan for some time, Qing Ruolan had come to understand him quite well.
Ye Fan never acted without confidence, but once he made a move, the task was practically 80 percent successful.
A smile crept across Ye Fan’s lips; it seemed his sister-in-law was starting to truly understand him!
Seeing that he had Ye Fan in his clutches, Zhuang Chao was very pleased with himself. He glared at the family representatives who were still hesitating to sign and coldly scolded them, “I told you to sign, are you all deaf? Don’t sign, and see if I don’t let these Poison Gu devour you!”
Whoosh!
With a wave of Zhuang Chao’s hand, the Poison Gu gathered around the hall surged like a tide at once.
A foul, fishy odor filled the hall, making the crowd somewhat nauseous.
Among the family representatives, the Yang Family, the Xiang Family, and several other family representatives hesitated for a moment before taking the lead, “Let’s sign! Joining the Gu Sect’s business group by signing isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Once the Gu Sect prospers, won’t everyone benefit?”
As they spoke, several family representatives immediately stepped forward, leading the way in signing the contract quickly with their pens.
Ye Fan watched coldly as these families signed, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
Very well hidden, indeed!
Are these also pawns of the Gu Sect?
Furthermore, several of the families among them are on the list provided by Qin Zhan, and they had also participated in the assassination of my second brother, Ye Lingjun!
If that’s the case, then I’ll use you as a starting point!
Whoosh!

Ye Fan discreetly activated a command, and the Poison Gu insects that had been gathering around instantly surged forward, enveloping the recently signed Yang Family’s and Xiang Family’s patriarchs, beginning to devour them frenziedly!
“Ah… Young Master Zhuang… What are you doing?”
“I am Yang Hong, we had already joined the Gu Sect, and had even acted together… Ah… Ah…”
The patriarchs of both the Xiang and Yang families were utterly bewildered, completely unable to comprehend what was happening.
Wasn’t everything fine just a moment ago?
Hadn’t Young Master Zhuang just been giving them signals, wanting them to lead the momentum, so why had he suddenly ordered the Poison Gu to devour them?
The two cried out in agony, attempting to break free from the encirclement of Poison Gu.
But in the blink of an eye, two living men were torn to shreds by the tidal wave of Poison Gu, leaving behind only a pile of chilling white bones!
Hiss!
Such a scene left everyone around completely astonished.
And what they were more curious about was, why did this happen?
Hadn’t Zhuang Chao said that those who did not sign would be punished, to be devoured by the Poison Gu?
But now, why were the ones who had signed being torn to pieces?
“Ah… Damn it… What’s going on…” Zhuang Chao looked at the scene before him, his face full of confusion, “Damn it! I clearly did not issue any action command just now… Damn, this is ghostly…”
“Patriarch Xiang, Patriarch Yang, Patriarch Yue… You… God damn…”
Just then, the swarm of Poison Gu charged forward, and in the blink of an eye, they had torn apart the patriarchs of four families. These were the capable pawns arranged by the Gu Sect in the Flower Capital; now with Jiang Yuan already lost, the Gu Sect’s strength deployed in the Flower Capital had suffered heavy losses.
If this continues, then what’s there left to play?
“Damn it! Ye Fan, are you the one causing trouble?” Zhuang Chao turned his head and stared at Ye Fan coldly, but he had been watching Ye Fan all this time and indeed hadn’t seen any action from him.
How could it be so eerie?
Ye Fan shrugged his shoulders, “Young Master Zhuang, I swear by heaven and earth! I did nothing just now. I tremble at the sight of these Poison Gu; how could I cause any trouble? Everyone can testify that it was Young Master Zhuang who killed them, it has nothing to do with me!”
Ye Fan put on an act as if he was hastily distancing himself from the situation, which somewhat drove Zhuang Chao mad!
What the hell!
I killed my own subordinates, everyone saw it clearly, do I need your damn commentary?
“Shut up! Now have your people sign immediately, submit to the Gu Sect, or else, you all will accompany them in death!” Zhuang Chao was already becoming distraught, although everything seemed to be under his control, he had a bad feeling.
Ye Fan spoke as if he were very helpless, “Young Master Zhuang, let’s talk about this! Can you not make them sign? You can propose any other condition, and I promise to cooperate fully, how about that?”
En?
Ye Fan has given in so easily?
Zhuang Chao was initially stunned, then a hint of a cold smile appeared on his lips, “Not having them sign is also an option! Then exchange your life for their safety. Stand there quietly and let this young master kill you, do you dare?”
Right now, Prince Jin and the Ancient Martial Families, are all dreaming of killing Ye Fan!
If I manage to kill Ye Fan in front of so many people, wouldn’t that be a tremendous merit?
“Alright! As long as Young Master Zhuang promises not to make things difficult for them, I can stand here and let Young Master Zhuang kill me,” Ye Fan said with a calm smile, “Does Young Master Zhuang have any other conditions?”
