Looking at the mess in front of him, Zhao Mingcong wanted to kill Ye Tianze right there and then. The corpses on the ground belonged to his Zhao family. Although most of them were not his children and were from the side branches of the Zhao family, they were still part of the Zhao family.
"Greetings, Second Master!" Everyone saluted.
Zhao Mingcong nodded numbly and walked toward Ye Tianze. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that.
"Zhao E 'Lai" was the eldest master's illegitimate son. Other than his peers, no one dared to touch him. He could do whatever he wanted in the Zhao family.
However, the second master of the Zhao family, Zhao Mingcong, was different. In the entire Zhao family, the second master of the Zhao family was the right-hand man of the eldest master of the Zhao family, Zhao Mingli.
Therefore, when they saw Zhao Mingcong's murderous intent, everyone gloated. It was as if they would not be able to eat or sleep in peace if Ye Tianze did not die today.
"He's dead for sure this time. He killed so many young masters of the Zhao family. He must pay with his blood," Zhao Liu said.
"How can his cheap life be worth the lives of so many young masters? We must make him suffer." Everyone thought in their hearts.
Zhao Mingcong looked at Ye Tianze. Ye Tianze immediately cupped his hands and said, "You dared to kill members of the Zhao family. Do you really think you can do whatever you want?"
"I didn't want to kill them. They wanted to kill me. I retaliated accordingly." Ye Tianze replied telepathically, "If a person does not dare to fight back when a knife is placed on his neck, he is not a human. He is a beast."
Zhao Mingcong was speechless. He said, "But they are members of the Zhao family. You killed them. You must pay with your life!"
"I acted according to the rules. According to the rules of the Zhao family, this is a normal fight," Ye Tianze said. "Swords have no eyes!"
"You!" Zhao Mingcong's face was cold. "Their surname is Zhao, can't you show them mercy?"
"I didn't see you and Her Highness Diva going easy on me. Furthermore … they wanted to kill me. If I didn't resist, I'm afraid you would have to collect my corpse now," Ye Tianze said. "I don't want to trouble you to collect my corpse, so I can only work hard myself."
"…" Zhao Mingcong was speechless.
"With your strength, even if you aren't the strongest in the Zhao family, stopping the current me would only take a single thought."
Ye Tianze said, "But I've been waiting for you for so long, and you didn't make a move. In other words, the people in front of you are just pawns that can be sacrificed. So, why are you crying in front of me?"
"You!!!" Zhao Mingcong clenched his fists, his face trembling.
"So, are you going to punish me according to the family law now?" Ye Tianze said, "Don't shoot yourself in the foot. I'm also a member of the Zhao family. Although I'm just an illegitimate child, I understand the rules of the Zhao family."
"You're ruthless, but do you think this is the end?" Zhao Mingcong said with a cold expression.
"It's not the end." Ye Tianze said, "You still have to punish me slightly to save the face of the Zhao family and appease these ignorant people."
Zhao Mingcong clenched his fists. He couldn't do anything to Ye Tianze. He knew that what he expected had happened, even if all his cultivation was sealed.
Ye Tianze still relied on his own talents to rise again. Moreover, his talents of metal and earth both advanced to the warrior realm within a day.
With such speed, in the entire Imperial Dragon City, other than Ye Tianze, there was no one else. Zhao Mingcong had to help Ye Tianze cover up his lie.
Because there were many things about his breakthrough that couldn't be justified. These things would definitely spread out. He had to make sure that when these things spread out, it would be logical and not cause any strange thoughts.
"I'll punish you … by confinement for three days!" Zhao Mingcong said, "Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied!" Ye Tianze said, "As long as you can justify it, what can I do? After all, you're the second master of the Zhao family, and I'm just an illegitimate child."
Zhao Mingcong was speechless. He said coldly, "Don't be too proud. Imperial Dragon City isn't that easy to survive in. My Zhao family's strength can be said to be at the bottom of the Imperial Dragon City. Not to mention the five major forces, even if you were to cultivate in those first-rate forces, you still wouldn't be able to do whatever you want like now!"
"You mean to say that you've compromised?" Ye Tianze said with a smile. "Alright, then I understand what I should do next."
The people outside could no longer hold back. After waiting for so long, they could no longer sit still when the second master of the Zhao family had yet to be judged.
Zhao Liu said, "Second master, if you don't bring him to justice, what will happen to my Zhao family's face?"
"Bring him to justice?" Zhao Mingcong said coldly, "How can I bring him to justice? You have to explain it to me clearly. "
Zhao Liu didn't expect Zhao Mingcong to have such a reaction. He thought that Zhao Mingcong had to find an excuse himself. He said, "According to the family rules, this little bastard has violated the family rules and offended his superiors. He should be sentenced to death!"
"Family rules?" Zhao Mingcong had a stomach full of anger and had nowhere to vent it.
He thought to himself, 'You bunch of trash, you can't take him down, so you let me clean up your mess. It's already good enough that I didn't flog you to death one by one. How dare you bring this matter to me!
"Tell me, which family rule did Zhao E 'Lai violate?" Zhao Mingcong asked.
When the people present and the sixth master of the Zhao family heard this, their eyes widened. Zhao Liu whispered, "Second master, what are you …"
"I'm enforcing the law impartially. What do you think I'm doing?" Zhao Mingcong asked, "Tell me, which family rule did he violate? Tell me clearly."
Everyone was stunned. Even if the Law Enforcing Patriarch was called over, he still couldn't find out which Zhao family rule Ye Tianze had violated.
What surprised them even more was why the second master was so serious. The second master wasn't a serious person in the past.
The sixth master of the Zhao family thought for a while and felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think too much about it. After all, Ye Tianze was just a bastard.
And now that he had angered everyone, the second master couldn't risk offending everyone to protect a bastard. Moreover, the second master didn't like this bastard at all. Since the first day Zhao E 'Lai came to the Zhao family, the second master had always been against it.
"Second master, according to the family rules, he killed so many young masters, he should be executed!" Zhao Liu said.
"Which family rule?" Zhao Mingcong asked.
With this question, Zhao Liu was stunned. How could he know which family rule it was, because the Zhao family didn't have such a family rule at all.
But he didn't expect the second master to get to the bottom of it. He suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Second master, what are you doing?" Zhao Liu said.
Not to mention Zhao Liu, everyone present was the same. The second master's style of doing things today was completely different from before.
What family rules? Isn't the entire Zhao family yours and the second master's? With the protection of the Diva, the Zhao family can't do whatever they want?
If you say that this is a family rule, then isn't it a family rule?
"I should be the one asking you what you're doing!" Zhao Mingcong said coldly.
Everyone suddenly understood that the second master didn't want to punish Zhao E 'Lai at all. He just wanted to protect Zhao E' Lai.
"You!!!" Zhao Liu didn't react.
