The Middle-aged Man from the Zhao Family was also filled with anger at this moment.
“Hmph, how dare you say that? I gave you the snake venom, and this is how you handled things?”
“It wasn’t my plan that had a problem; it was your execution that had a problem!”
Hearing this, Yuan Hao was furious and immediately glared angrily at the Middle-aged Man in front of him.
He never imagined that this person could be so shameless.
“Bah, if your Zhao Family weren’t afraid of offending the Kyoto Qin Family, if you had acted earlier, you would have already gotten rid of their Qin Family. How did things get to this point?”
Hearing this, the Middle-aged Man sneered.
“Since this is a Qin Family branch, we naturally have to consider the Kyoto Qin Family. Aren’t you even more useless? A dignified City Lord, yet you’re being controlled by a Family in a small city.”
“Before, at least there was the Li Family to balance things out, but now that the Li Family is gone, let’s see how you’ll deal with the Qin Family and how you’ll contend with the Qin Family!”
“However, you don’t have to worry. I’ve already investigated thoroughly.”
Just then, the Middle-aged Man spoke coldly.
“Investigated what thoroughly?”
Yuan Hao asked, puzzled.
“Of course, it’s the relationship between this Qin Family and the Kyoto Qin Family. Hehe, this Qin Family was the one that was ostracized from the main Kyoto Family back then, driven out of Kyoto by the branch Family, that is, their Qin Family.”
“This way, I won’t worry about many things. The current main Family of the Qin Family naturally hates this former main Family to the bone and wishes they could get rid of them.”
“If they weren’t afraid of other branch Families becoming disloyal, they would have done it long ago. But even so, over the years, the main Qin Family has often suppressed this branch Family.”
“In other words, as long as our Zhao Family doesn’t openly step forward and uses some schemes to get rid of this Qin Family, the Kyoto Qin Family will only thank our Zhao Family.”
At this point, the Middle-aged Man became even more smug.
“Oh, you have another plan?”
Hearing this, Yuan Hao’s heart stirred, and he quickly moved closer.
As long as the Qin Family wasn’t eliminated, he couldn’t rest easy in Fire Wind City, so he had to get rid of the Qin Family to feel at peace.
“Of course, soon, you will see the Qin Family’s demise…”
“Oh, you probably won’t see it!”
Before their words finished, a cold voice came from the doorway.
“Who’s there!”
The two quickly turned their heads to look at the doorway.
They hadn’t even noticed someone coming here.
“Thump!”
The door was kicked open, and Qin Xuan walked in with a Qin Family Elder.
“It’s the Qin Family, hurry and leave!”
Yuan Hao wasn’t a fool; he naturally knew the situation was wrong and immediately wanted this person to follow him and leave.
“Leave? Can you still get away today?”
Qin Xuan snorted coldly, and at the same time, several powerful Qi auras also came from around them, completely surrounding them.
Several more figures of Qin Family Elders appeared from other directions, completely encircling the area, preventing them from leaving.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Hao and the other person present immediately turned pale.
“Damn it, we’re surrounded.”
Since the Qin Family dared to send people to surround them, the implication was naturally self-evident.
“City Lord, who is this person next to you? Aren’t you going to introduce him to us?”
Qin Yuan walked out from the side and spoke coldly.
“This is just a friend of mine. I, on the other hand, want to ask, this is the City Lord’s mansion, and I am the City Lord appointed by the imperial court. As a Family of Fire Wind City, how dare your Qin Family come uninvited and arbitrarily surround my City Lord’s mansion?”
“Now, quickly retreat, and I can spare your lives.”
Hearing Yuan Hao’s words, which were fierce in appearance but timid in reality, Qin Yuan sneered and shook his head at Yuan Hao.
“City Lord must be joking. Tonight, it’s not our Qin Family making a move; we’re here to save you.”
Save me?
Yuan Hao was stunned, not understanding.
“Nonsense, this City Lord doesn’t need anyone to save him. You all quickly retreat, no mistakes allowed.”
But the Qin Family present merely sneered.
Then, everyone made way, and more than a dozen Level 2 Spirit Beasts slowly walked in from outside.
“What is this?”
Seeing this scene, Yuan Hao was completely dumbfounded.
He never imagined that Spirit Beasts would come here.
“City Lord, let me explain what’s going on.”
Qin Xuan stepped forward and spoke calmly.
“Tonight, the remnants of the Li Family, harboring resentment towards you, City Lord, because their Family was annihilated, attacked the City Lord’s mansion with Spirit Beasts.”
“Our Qin Family rushed to rescue you immediately after receiving the news, but we were still a step too late, allowing the City Lord to be eaten by the Spirit Beasts. There was nothing we could do, so our Qin Family could only kill these Spirit Beasts to avenge you!”
Qin Xuan said with a smile.
Hearing this, Yuan Hao immediately reacted.
The Qin Family wanted to get rid of him and then frame the Li Family.
Anyway, the Li Family had already been annihilated, so even if they shifted the blame, it would be easy.
This made him extremely angry.
These people not only wanted to kill him but even told him how they planned to arrange his funeral right in front of him.
“Hmph, who would believe your nonsense?”
“If I die, an investigation team will naturally come to investigate this matter and will definitely not let you off!”
Yuan Hao said coldly.
“Believe it? Of course, they’ll believe it. I deliberately let the people outside see these dozen or so Spirit Beasts when they came in.”
“Besides, wasn’t it the Li Family that could control beasts? What does that have to do with our Qin Family? Our Qin Family just arrived a step late, allowing you to be eaten by the Spirit Beasts.”
Saying this, Qin Xuan took a step forward.
“So, City Lord, are you going to crawl into the mouth of this Spirit Beast yourself, or should we invite you in?”
Qin Xuan said with a smile, clearly having Yuan Hao cornered.
“If your Qin Family thinks you have me cornered, then you are greatly mistaken. I’m telling you, if I don’t die, I will definitely get rid of your Qin Family in the future!”
Before he finished speaking, Qin Yuan walked out from the side and shook his head coldly.
“Then let’s talk about that after you survive. For now, please both of you, prepare to die.”
Saying this, the Qin Family Elders from all around began to attack the two of them.
Seeing this scene, the two people present both changed color.
“Clan Chief Qin, I am a steward of the Zhao Family, working here according to the Zhao Family’s instructions. If you dare to kill me, that will be openly confronting our Zhao Family.”
“Are your Qin Family sure you want to make a move? Are you really prepared for an all-out war with the Zhao Family?”
