CHAPTER 2156: CHAPTER 2156
A New Situation
"Senior Bei Xuan, one of the spots is mine. As for the other …"
Zhao Zhuo suddenly spoke. When Zhao Yue and the others heard this, their expressions immediately became incomparably ugly. They all looked at Zhao Zhuo with strange expressions.
Zhao Zhuo was already so old and he wanted to take one of the spots himself?
Ning Qi looked at Zhao Zhuo with a faint smile and then nodded slightly. Zhao Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief and his eyes were filled with ecstasy.
"The other spot will be given to the Chief Steward. It's decided."
Zhao Zhuo looked at the people of the Zhao Mansion and said.
The Chief Steward was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhao Zhuo in disbelief, his eyes filled with gratitude. Although Zhao Zhuo's wives were dissatisfied, Zhao Zhuo was the head of the family after all. Since he had spoken, they had no reason to refute. However, Zhao Yue, his brothers, and the younger disciples of the Zhao Mansion were indignant. They glared at Zhao Zhuo angrily!
"Big Brother, you can't do this. This opportunity is for the young. Doctor Ding, Zhao Ruo, Xiao Li, which one of them isn't young? You and the Great Elder are already … half a foot in the grave. How can you take this opportunity from the young? I suggest you give the spot to the young generation! "
Zhao Yue said.
As soon as he spoke, the other brothers naturally followed suit. The younger generation looked at Ning Qi expectantly, hoping that Ning Qi would choose two of them.
Normally, Zhao Yue would not dare to oppose Zhao Zhuo so blatantly even if he had ten guts. However, today was different. This opportunity represented a great opportunity. The one who obtained the spot might become a True Element Realm master like Zhao Ruo and the other two. It was like ascending to the heavens in a single step!
"Big Brother, Zhao Ruo and Xiao Li are both your people. They have already taken two spots. How can you take the remaining spots as well?"
Zhao Zhuo's third brother said sarcastically.
"Senior Bei Xuan, I'm sorry."
Zhao Zhuo looked at Ning Qi embarrassedly, then turned around and glanced at Zhao Yue and the others. "Are you the head of the family or am I?"
"…"
"Since you're not speaking, does that mean you know what to do? Since you know what to do, why do you have to do this? Go back! "
Zhao Zhuo harrumphed coldly.
Usually, he had accumulated too much power, so when Zhao Yue and the others saw that he was angry, they immediately felt a little scared. They could only reluctantly look at Ning Qi, then turned around and returned to the Zhao Mansion.
But halfway through, Zhao Yue turned back.
"Hmm?"
Zhao Zhuo looked at Zhao Yue coldly.
"What about them?"
Zhao Yue pointed at Huang Batian's group, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Huang Batian and the others cursed in their hearts. They didn't expect the Second Master of the Zhao Residence to be so bold. He even dared to point out their names?
"Senior Beixuan, what do you think?"
Zhao Zhuo looked at Ning Qi and asked respectfully.
"How Patriarch Zhao plans to deal with it is up to you. There's no need to ask me. Just let Ding Feng and Little Li handle it."
Ning Qi smiled faintly. Everyone suddenly discovered that after he finished speaking, Ning Qi's figure had already disappeared. As for how he disappeared, no one saw it clearly. This caused all the cultivators present to suck in a breath of cold air. They felt that Ning Qi was even more unfathomable.
"Farewell, Zhao Zhuo."
Huang Batian snorted coldly, cupped his hands, and turned to leave.
Zhao Zhuo looked at Huang Batian's back and his lips moved. In the end, he didn't say anything. Huang Batian's background was very strong, and Zhao Zhuo still had some fear in his heart.
"Patriarch Zhao, we will take our leave."
Long Qinyun and the others smiled insincerely and cupped their hands, preparing to leave as well. In the end, just as they turned around, they heard Zhao Zhuo's faint laughter from behind. "The three of you don't have to leave so quickly. I still have something to tell the three of you. Go back today and tidy up the family's business. Tomorrow, I will send the Zhao Residence's disciples to take over."
"Patriarch Zhao, what do you mean by this?!"
The three of them trembled. Then, they turned to look at Zhao Zhuo in disbelief. At the same time, there was a trace of anger in their eyes.
"What do I mean? The three of you are all grown up. Don't tell me you don't understand? Didn't the three of you come to my Zhao Residence today to laugh at my Zhao Residence? Didn't you want to wait for my Zhao Residence to be destroyed by the Hidden Cloud Sect to divide my Zhao Residence's business? Fortunately, my Zhao Residence is blessed by the heavens. I have to disappoint the three of you … "
Zhao Zhuo laughed lightly. As he spoke to this point, his voice became even colder. "So, when the three of you go back today, you must tidy up your business. If my Zhao Residence's disciples don't receive your business on the second day, then it isn't them who came, but …"
Ding Feng stepped forward at the right time and coldly looked at Long Qinyun and the others. The three of them jumped in fright and subconsciously retreated. After all, the other party was a True Essence Realm expert. Although he couldn't defeat Xu Dingtian, Long Qinyun and the others knew that if Ding Feng wanted to kill them, it would be a very simple matter.
But … could it be that the businesses of their three families, which had lasted for hundreds of years, were going to be handed over just like that? The three of them originally planned to let Huang Batian stand up for them, but Huang Batian was the first to slip away. Considering the current situation of the Zhao Residence, Huang Batian would only protect himself and might not stand up for them.
Thinking up to this point, Long Qinyun sighed in his heart and nodded, "I understand Patriarch Zhao's intention. Don't worry, Patriarch Zhao will send someone to take over the businesses of the Hundred Mountain City tomorrow."
Fortunately, the Long family had a few branches. As long as they could preserve their strength, even if they couldn't keep their original businesses, they could retreat to the places where the branches were and continue to hide. One day, they would rise again!
When Shangguan Modi and Nangong Cheng saw that Long Qinyun had spoken, they glanced at each other and nodded disappointedly. Seeing this, Zhao Zhuo let the three of them leave with a smile.
The surrounding cultivators watched the scene in silence. After the three of them left, they looked at Zhao Zhuo in awe. From today onward, the Zhao Residence would become the strongest force in the Hundred Mountain City, or even the entire Si Shui Prefecture. However, if Huang Batian let his daughter stand up for them, perhaps it would be a different story. There were many experts in the Tian Long Royal Palace, and there were no less than eighteen Xiantian Realm cultivators!
Soon, when the gate of the Zhao Residence was slammed shut, the surrounding cultivators finally dispersed. The smelly flesh on the ground was proof of the intense battle that had taken place here!
The next day, Zhao Zhuo successfully took over the businesses of the three families. The famous Long family, Shangguan family, and Nangong family of Hundred Mountain City had all disappeared. Long Qinyun and the other two Patriarchs left Hundred Mountain City with their clansmen and retreated to a more remote place.
