Chapter 224: Chapter 77: Settlement

"Hong Bangzhao." Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Where is this person now?"

Pei Zeqi was about to speak.

Outside the courtyard, a Martial Artist appeared in haste, exclaiming, "Family Head, something terrible has happened. The Hong Family’s ancestor is slaughtering people in our Pei Family Garden."

Pei Zeqi heard this, a cold smile emerging on his face: "Ancestor Gu Sheng is also in the ancestral residence. So what if the Hong Family ancestor is here?"

At this moment, Zhan Ting spoke softly: "Gu Sheng has already been turned into something sinister by a Ghost Path cultivator. He is still in the Pei Family ancestral residence. I’ll take a breath, then go clean it up."

"What?" Pei Zeqi showed a shocked expression.

Gu Sheng is dead?

After Lin Yuan and the others left, the towering pillar of his Pei Family crumbled?

The reporting Martial Artist also had a face full of sadness: "Family Head, I am reporting to you. Our Pei Family’s ancestral residence is now overrun with the sinister. We dare not approach."

Pei Zeqi’s mind went blank, unable to respond for a moment.

Lin Yuan stepped forward and said calmly, "Since Hong Bangzhao has appeared, then let’s take his head as the cost of his scheming against me."

"Yes!" Pei Zeqi cupped his hands.

Zhan Ting also intended to eliminate the sinister presence, and the group quickly headed towards the Pei family.

***********

At the Pei Family’s Moon Embrace Pavilion.

At this moment, the Hong Family’s ancestor sat in the main seat, while Hong Bangzhao stood by his side, an expression of extreme satisfaction on his single-eyed face.

In the hall, there were several corpses of late-stage Condensed Yuan Martial Artists.

The people of the Pei Family showed faces of astonishment, their gazes towards the Hong Family ancestor tinged with fear.

"The Pei Family ancestor Gu Sheng is dead, and if you continue to resist, it’s just futile struggle. Let me make it clear to you, once the envoy leaves Yanghua, my Hong Family’s ancestor will crush everything. Everyone in the Hong Family is nothing but chickens and dogs, easy to defeat."

"Our Hong Family does not wish for Yanghua to suffer further calamity. Join under the banner of our Hong Family, and everything will remain as usual."

"Everyone. I emphasize again." Hong Bangzhao declared loudly, "The Hong Family announces that from today, the Pei Family’s Guest Elders will join our Hong Family, and past disputes will be forgiven. If anyone stubbornly insists on not returning."

Hong Bangzhao paused, his gaze sweeping over the Martial Artists.

Many Martial Artists bowed their heads, continually making eye contact with him.

Seeing this, Hong Bangzhao let out a faint smile, pointed at the corpses lying in the middle, and continued, "I won’t repeat myself. My words end here. If you refuse, they will be your fate."

Finished speaking, Hong Bangzhao looked at this group of Martial Artists, snickering inwardly.

This group was nothing but fence-sitters, shifting allegiance with the prevailing wind. The Pei Family was powerful, so they followed the Pei Family. Now, relying on the ancestor’s might, he took down the high-level Martial Artists of the Pei Family in one swift move.

Right after Hong Bangzhao finished speaking, the people in the hall started discussing.

"Gu Sheng ancestor is dead. Every Martial Artist in that hall is dead. I saw it with my own eyes," whispered a Martial Artist at the late stage of Condensed Yuan, seeing some surprised expressions.

"The ancestor is dead. Who else can oppose the Hong Family ancestor? He is a peak Condensed Yuan existence. The Pei Family can no longer turn the tide."

"The Pei Family ancestor is dead. But isn’t there still Elder Hou Sixian? I heard he’s already touched the threshold of the first realm. Could he really be inferior to the Hong Family ancestor?"

"Elder Hou Sixian, after all, bears the surname Hou, not Pei. There could be a Hou Family emerging later, couldn’t there? Without the towering pillar, can it still be called the Pei Family? Probably the surname will change later."

"Submitting to the Hong Family doesn’t bring much harm to us. It’s unexpected that the Hong Family rose from the abyss and regained control of Yanghua, truly twisting fate in unexpected ways."

Some sighed, "Indeed, indeed. At its peak, the Pei Family was so powerful, but who would have thought that in just a month or two, it would decline so rapidly and disintegrate entirely, so unexpectedly."

Many Martial Artists discussed, but many Martial Artists simultaneously chose to defect to the Pei Family.

Before long, the discussions in the hall gradually died down.

Hong Bangzhao smiled faintly, his single eye sweeping over everyone’s faces one by one: "Ladies and gentlemen, what’s your decision?"

At this moment, many Martial Artists looked at each other.

Finally, they all unified, cupping their hands, bowing in salute towards Hong Bangzhao.

"We obey the Family Head’s arrangements."

The crowd shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky.

"Hahaha. With everyone’s assistance, the Hong Family will surely shine brilliantly in Yanghua once again."

Seeing this, Hong Bangzhao laughed heartily.

Meanwhile, the Hong Family’s ancestor stroked his beard, watching all this with a smile from the main seat.

Hong Bangzhao immediately rearranged the Hong Family elder rankings, especially placing those who first pledged allegiance at the forefront.

For a moment, everyone was filled with excitement.

But just then, footsteps were heard at the staircase.

Everyone turned their heads simultaneously.

Only to see Lin Yuan, leading Pei Zeqi and a few others, step into the hall. At this time, Zhan Ting and Cao Qin were dealing with the matter of the sinister, so they were not with them.

Lin Yuan swept his gaze across the hall.

Looking at the elderly figure sitting at the head, then at the single-eyed young man standing at the center, his expression remained calm.

"Family Head Pei."

Hong Bangzhao, seeing who had arrived, paused momentarily, then smiled.

Pei Zeqi hadn’t died at the hands of the Ghost Path cultivator, which surprised him. But it didn’t matter, after all, the Ghost Path practitioner was dead, and so was Gu Sheng. His Hong Family held absolute advantage.

Now, he had also incorporated the vast majority of high-level Martial Artists of the Pei Family under his banner, and the Pei Family could never overturn this situation.

"Our Hong Family has taken over Yanghua. I wonder what the Pei Family Head plans to do?" Hong Bangzhao’s face showed a hint of a smile.

The single eye fixed on Pei Zeqi’s old face, a touch of cruelty emerging.

Back then, the previous Family Head of the Hong Family, Hong Weiqing, lost everything here.

And now, in this same place, he was going to take back everything that should have belonged to the Hong Family.

After Hong Bangzhao finished speaking, everyone fell silent, all eyes on Pei Zeqi, waiting to see how he would reply.

Pei Zeqi’s reaction was beyond everyone’s expectations.

Pei Zeqi cupped his hands, and towards Lin Yuan, he bowed: "Master Lin."

"Has Pei Zeqi lost his wits? Pushing this young man forward? Master Lin? He’s merely a Pill Master who can make elixirs, isn’t he?" Everyone was stunned, baffled.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, walked forward, looked at Hong Bangzhao standing in the center, and said calmly, "Hong Bangzhao?"

Hong Bangzhao also paused for a moment and then smiled.

Lin Yuan didn’t die at the hands of the Ghost Path cultivator, but it was irrelevant now.

Perhaps Lin Yuan was indeed a prodigy in martial arts, but it takes time for a prodigy to grow into a towering pillar. In the current situation, no matter how much of a prodigy he was, it couldn’t change the situation.

"Lin Yuan, I’ve heard your alchemy talent is extremely profound. Join the Hong Family, and the treatment the Pei Family offers you, our Hong Family will double it!" Hong Bangzhao ignored Lin Yuan’s disrespect, showing a rather courteous demeanor.

"Was it you who investigated my situation and then told the Ghost Path practitioner about it?" Lin Yuan ignored him, speaking calmly.

He just wanted to confirm once more the investigation by the Pei Family.

"Yes, that did indeed happen."

Hong Bangzhao nodded, his face looking straightforward.

"Hmm, since that’s the case."

Lin Yuan’s eyes half-closed, staring at the young man in front of him who seemed to be in control of everything, coldly declared, "The Hong Family must be exterminated."

As Lin Yuan’s words fell, the hall fell silent enough to hear a pin drop.

Many Martial Artists stared blankly at Lin Yuan, too shocked by his audacity to speak.

"Hahaha." Hong Bangzhao’s eyes widened, as if hearing the greatest joke, he couldn’t help but laugh.

What a joke, the Hong Family’s peak Condensed Yuan Martial Artist, without interference from the Martial College envoy, who else could contend with them?

But just as Hong Bangzhao laughed, Lin Yuan moved.

In a flash.

Lin Yuan instantly flickered, before anyone could react.

"Haha, ah~!"

Hong Bangzhao’s laughter abruptly stopped.

Lin Yuan grasped Hong Bangzhao’s neck in his right hand, like holding a struggling duck.

Lin Yuan pulled him close, bringing Hong Bangzhao’s ear near his mouth.

In the terrified gazes of everyone, Lin Yuan said coldly, "This is how Hong Weiqing died, and you’ll die the same way."

"Why doesn’t your Hong Family learn its lesson?"
