The patriarch of the Bian Family, Bian Changlong, looked down at Ye Qinghan. His majestic aura radiated in all directions, with a cold glint that could not be defied.
"General Zuo, we are all people standing at the top of the pyramid. Why do you have to be so ruthless?" Bian Changlong asked in a low voice.
Ye Qinghan shrugged and kicked Bian Ying under his feet. He said lightly, "I didn't want to be so ruthless, but this elder of the Bian Family did not seem to give me any face and forced me into a corner. Moreover, as the patriarch of the Bian Family, you don't seem to care about me either. Since that's the case, show me your trump card. I want to see who is backing the Bian Family and whether they can make me retreat."
The atmosphere outside the Bian Family was extremely oppressive. Bian Changlong signaled everyone in the family with his eyes, and they quickly spread out and surrounded Ye Qinghan and Xue Jiuhuang.
Divine power fluctuated abnormally, and murderous intent rose everywhere.
"General Zuo, let's both take a step back. I will pretend that nothing happened today. I hope General Zuo will pretend that you did not see anything. How about that?" Bian Changlong asked firmly.
"Sorry, I can't pretend that I didn't see anything," Ye Qinghan said calmly.
Bian Changlong's face was cold. He snorted and said, "Then what do you want?"
"To deal with Bian Ying, I will naturally follow the rules of the Jianghu. However, to deal with the Bian Family, I will naturally follow the imperial court's laws. Otherwise, why do you think I have not attacked the Bian Family until now? I am waiting for the Minister of Justice of the auction house and the army of the Residence of the Nine Emperors to deal with you. I have to follow the rules to prevent people from saying that I am a bully, "Ye Qinghan said lightly.
Bian Changlong stared at Ye Qinghan. No one knew what he was thinking. After a long time, he said coldly, "A strong dragon cannot suppress a snake in its old haunts. Don't force me to fight to the death!"
Ye Qinghan looked at Xue Jiuhuang and asked telepathically, "Do you need to wait for the army of your residence? Or do you want to attack directly and wipe out the Bian Family? "
"Wait, the Bian family is not an ordinary family. They have a strong foundation and have developed a huge network of relationships with ginseng fruits. If you want to destroy them, you must do it under the witness of the judiciary. Otherwise, you won't be able to convince the world. I don't want the world to say that the royal family and Marshal Zuo are arbitrary." Xue Jiuhuang shook his head slightly, stopping Ye Qinghan's plan of attacking by force. Furthermore, with just the two of them, it would be difficult for them to fight against the massive Bian Clan, not to mention that the Bian Clan had so many external reinforcements.
Ye Qinghan extended his divine sense outwards. The Bian Family occupied an area of a thousand miles. Countless tribes had gathered to form the enormous Bian Family. There were many experts hidden within the tribes, and they were all suppressing their hostility. However, they were all restless and ready to charge out at any moment.
When Bian Changlong saw that Ye Qinghan wasn't making a move, he guessed that Ye Qinghan was stalling for time so that the judicial department could intervene. Bian Changlong whispered a few words into the ear of an old man beside him. Then, the old man quickly left the place and retreated into the depths of the Bian family.
About half an hour later, the Bian Clan's territory was in turmoil. At least thousands of experts had been mobilized. They were all holding powerful divine weapons and carrying divine bows and crossbows. They quickly rushed towards the Herb Garden from another direction.
Ye Qinghan and Xue Jiuhuang both noticed their movements, but they didn't stop them. Although the Bian Clan had many people, their combat power was definitely not comparable to the Insane Sect's. Even if this group of direct descendants of the Bian Clan went to the Herb Garden, they would only be sending themselves to their deaths. It was impossible for them to destroy the evidence under the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
Ye Qinghan looked at Bian Changlong with an evil smile and waited with his arms crossed.
Time flew by. Both sides were in a stalemate, but both were holding back. They didn't want to be the first to make a move.
A third force quickly appeared. It wasn't the Divine Sect, nor was it the people of the Yantian Pavilion. It was an elder of the Wang Clan. Moreover, it was Wang Yuqing's grandfather, Wang Long. He was acquainted with Ye Qinghan. During the wedding last time, he gave him a large piece of perfect Snow Step Spiritual Stone. It was priceless and could only be found by chance.
"Hahaha, isn't this my grandson-in-law? It's really a case of a family not recognizing each other." Wang Long laughed.
Ye Qinghan smiled and bowed. "So it's Sixth Grandpa. May I know what brings you here?"
"Aiya, my good grandson. The Bian Clan and I are close friends. Can you give me face and let's both take a step back? If you suffer any losses, I'm sure Old Man Bian, as your elder, will not let you suffer." Wang Long tried his best to persuade and signaled to Bian Changlong with his eyes.
After receiving the signal, Bian Changlong immediately changed his attitude. "Zuo Shuai, so you're Old Man Wang's grandson-in-law. We're really a family. My Bian Clan's granddaughter is preparing to marry Old Man Wang's grandson, Wang Zhong. This … today's matter is purely a misunderstanding. I've been rude. Since we're a family, why don't we discuss this in the inner palace? As long as we can appease Zuo Shuai, I'm willing to personally pour tea to apologize!"
Xue Jiuhuang snorted. His cold gaze pierced through his cloak as he stared at Wang Long and Bian Changlong. He didn't expect these two old things to be able to gloss over such a crazy matter as the ginseng fruit tree so easily!
Ye Qinghan naturally wouldn't let the Bian Clan go. Not to mention Wang Long, even if Wang Zhongjun came personally, it wouldn't change his mind to wipe out the Bian Clan.
"I'm very sorry, but this matter involves the dignity of the Divine Nation. The royal family is the witness. How can we settle this matter hastily and in secret?" Ye Qinghan asked indifferently.
Bian Changlong's expression turned ugly. He didn't expect Ye Qinghan to be so stubborn. Wang Long was even angrier. He blew his beard and glared. He said discontentedly, "My grandson, are you not even willing to give me face?"
Ye Qinghan pretended to be in a difficult position. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I don't want to give you face. It's just that this matter has a huge impact. His Majesty already knows about it. I want to help you, but I'm powerless."
Wang Long and Bian Changlong looked coldly at Ye Qinghan. They knew that he was declining and wanted to punish the Bian Clan, but they couldn't persuade him.
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of everyone. He was wearing the robes of a Divine Sect Elder. He had met Ye Qinghan before. Back then, when Ye Qinghan went to the Divine Sect to save the divine bird, he was stopped by him.
The elder looked disdainfully at Ye Qinghan and mocked, "The great Left Marshal. Who doesn't know that the puppet Emperor doesn't know anything? You make all the decisions in the world. The Sacred City is also ruled by your words. Now that you say you can't back down, it only means that you don't care about the Wang Clan at all!"
Ye Qinghan's expression immediately changed. He coldly rebuked, "Elder of the Divine Sect, how dare you not care about His Majesty! You even maliciously slandered His Majesty and instigated the relationship between the Marshal and the Wang Clan. How preposterous! Do you still care about the Divine Nation? "
Xue Jiuhuang stared deeply at Ye Qinghan. He was somewhat suspicious of the Divine Sect Elder's words.
"What bullsh * t Emperor? Do you respect him? The dignity of the Divine Nation is nothing but a joke in the eyes of super forces like you and us. Zuo Feng, I came here on behalf of the Divine Master to tell you to be a good person and do your job well. Together, we can control this world. Otherwise, you will die without a burial ground! "The elder warned coldly.
