They'd just witnessed the Liu Family's complete annihilation.
The former Liu Family Star experts couldn't help but gulp in response to Ye Zichen's question.
Liu Tianhe was a sixth-layer Star Body expert.
Ye Zichen had knocked them unconscious with a single punch.
They were all first and second-layer Star Bodies. It wasn't a matter of whether they wanted to join, it was a matter of whether they dared to refuse.
If they pissed Ye Zichen off ….
After a few punches, they'd all die here.
"Don't be too afraid. I'm a reasonable person."
Ye Zichen stood in front of the thatched hut and grinned at them, then shook his head, walked up to them, and patted one of them on the shoulder.
When his palm came down, the man subconsciously dodged.
It was just that Ye Zichen had left too deep of an impression in their hearts, so much so that they wondered if they would be able to endure it.
"Join or leave. It's up to you."
"I won't force you to stay. A melon forcibly picked isn't sweet. I understand that."
In truth, Ye Zichen hadn't decided to recruit them on a whim.
He'd started recruiting them right in front of Liu Tianhe and the others. He wanted to use this method to intensify the conflict between the two sides, provoke them into attacking him, and then destroy them.
That way ….
That way, it wouldn't seem like he was a violent criminal who would attack at the slightest disagreement.
He would attack.
He had no choice.
Liu Tianhe and the others had come to kill him. He couldn't just sit around and wait for death, so he'd defended himself.
As for now, they were lying on the ground ….
If they wanted to blame someone, they could only blame themselves for not being strong enough to take a beating!
Ye Zichen was confident in his ability to reason things out. In any case, the Liu Family had provoked him first. He'd had no choice but to fight back.
He wanted to recruit the Liu Family's people.
In truth, Ye Zichen had high hopes for them.
Those who'd knelt in response to Liu Tianhe's scolding were people who didn't even care about their dignity. There was no point in keeping them.
Spineless people weren't worth Ye Zichen's energy.
As for the ones before him ….
They weren't the strongest of the Liu Family's people, but Ye Zichen liked their temperaments.
Furthermore, Chaos City needed to replenish its experts.
If they could get a few Star level experts to join them, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
That was one of the reasons Ye Zichen had come to the Upper Realms. The villages around Chaos City had far too few star level experts. If he really wanted to replenish his strength, he'd have to go to the center of the city.
"Well, do you have any ideas?"
"Sorry."
A middle-aged man stepped forward, smiled apologetically at Ye Zichen, then turned and left.
It could be seen from his actions …
He wasn't planning on joining Ye Zichen's Chaos City.
At their level, every decision had to be carefully considered.
Although Ye Zichen's strength was decent, Ye Zichen didn't care.
Not only was he able to instantly kill a sixth-stage Star Body cultivator, but he also had a Flaming Lion.
With his strength and Spirit Beasts.
It was enough to establish a sizable clan in the town and have a good status.
Unfortunately …
He had offended the Liu Family.
The main family and the branch families didn't interfere with each other, but in the end, they all came from the Liu Family. This time, the Liu Clan's branch family had suffered such a heavy blow. How could the main clan sit back and do nothing?
The other members of the Liu Family could not care less.
But don't forget, the Liu Family still had a Star Body level expert.
"Ol 'Huang."
When they saw someone leave, others tried to urge him to stay.
"Everyone, farewell."
The middle-aged man smiled and cupped his hands, then disappeared into the silent night.
Ye Zichen did as he'd said; he didn't obstruct him in the slightest. After he left, he crossed his arms and looked at the remaining four.
"What do you say?"
"I …. I'm willing to follow you, Your Excellency."
"Me too!"
"I'm willing!"
In an instant, three of the four expressed their opinions.
Ye Zichen nodded and looked at the last person. Just like Ol 'Huang, he smiled apologetically at Ye Zichen, then left the thatched hut.
Two of the five had left, but three remained.
The three people who were left behind frowned as they looked at the back of the person who left.
The five of them had always been on good terms with each other.
Their personalities were similar.
They interacted more often than not.
When they saw two of their good friends leave, they couldn't help but feel a bit sad.
"Everyone has their own ambitions."
Ye Zichen smiled, then looked at the three.
"I still don't know what to call you."
"Sigh!"
"Haike."
"Liu Tianhai."
？？？
The introductions of the first two were fine, but when the last person said his name, Ye Zichen was completely stunned.
Liu Tianhai!
This feeling is similar to Liu Tianhe …
"Liu Tianhe is my older brother," Liu Tianhai smiled wryly.
He was the Ol 'Five who had been trying to persuade Liu Tianhe not to act rashly.
He was also one of the members who was leaving the family.
Liu Tianhe's decision at that time was too shameful for him!
All for the sake of gaining Ye Zichen's favor.
He was willing to exchange the dignity of everyone in the family for Ye Zichen.
That was no longer a decision he could tolerate.
Although Liu Tianhe was rather arbitrary in the past, at the very least, everything he did was for the sake of the family.
But now …
"Oh, it must be hard to have an older brother like that."
However, Ye Zichen didn't really mind his identity.
"It's alright," Liu Tianhai smiled. Then he looked at Liu Tianhe, who was still lying on the ground. "My Lord, I wonder if I can bring my older brother back to town and ask someone to treat him. No matter what, we're brothers, I … "
"No problem."
Ye Zichen nodded without any hesitation.
"When you deal with everything, then come back here to find him."
"Understood."
With that, Liu Tianhai ran in front of Liu Tianhe and let out a long sigh as he looked at the unconscious Liu Tianhe, who was still bleeding from his mouth.
If Liu Tianhe had listened to him from the start …
Don't cause trouble for me, Ye Zichen.
Why would I end up in such a state?
Liu Tianhai carried Liu Tianhe in his arms, then leapt out of the straw hut.
At that moment, Ye Zichen also looked at the two people in front of him.
The two of them seemed to be very afraid of him, and their expressions were very uneasy.
"What are you afraid of!?"
"You're my subordinate now, can I still hit you?!"
Ye Zichen sighed towards the two of them, then gestured towards them.
"Go …"
"Strip those people of their clothes."
"What?!"
The two Star level experts didn't quite understand what Ye Zichen meant.
"Strip them of their clothes," Ye Zichen pointed at the Liu family experts. Ye Zichen pointed at the Liu family experts that nobody cared about. "Take all of their treasures back for me. Collect the spoils of war, understand?"
