Chapter 406: Chapter 405 Pingnan Predicant
The upcoming major battles were still to be fought among these forces within Pingnan Province.
The Wang Family took the stage to challenge the Nan Family, and the Ren Family and Eight-Faced Yama stepped up to confront the Shangguan family. Most crucially, even the usually silent Gwu Family began to steadily make their move, challenging the Ye Family.
It could be said that, without any action from Pingbei Province, a great portion of the strength from this side of Pingnan Province had already been exhausted.
Ye Zhenying’s brows furrowed tightly, he had seen the signs. The Wang, Ren, Eight-Faced Yama, and Gwu families had already ford an alliance, aiming to first throw Pingnan Province into chaos.
In fact, after hearing from Ye Wantong about the alliance between Ren Beishan, Eight-Faced Yama, and Ghost Blade Mo Qianli, he had been on guard against these people.
However, with the matters of the May Dragon Head eting already settled, he could not go back on his word. Moreover, from his perspective, he truly could not understand what benefit these individuals could gain from such infighting.
This kind of strife, whether ending with the victory of the Wang, Ren, Gwu families, and Eight-Faced Yama, or the triumph of the Ye, Shangguan, Nan, and Hou families, would leave the victor too weakened to confront Pingbei Province.
Under these circumstances, only Pingbei Province could erge as the final victor.
Could it be that the Wang, Ren, Eight-Faced Yama, and Gwu families had actually allied themselves with Pingbei Province?
Ye Zhenying glanced at Lian Qianjun, seeing him too was watching the battle on the stage with keen interest, Ye Zhenying’s brows furrowed even more.
If these four forces had tead up with Pingbei Province, then this ti the trouble was indeed serious. Pingbei Province’s victory was unquestionable, and the end result would be Pingbei Province propping up these four forces to jointly suppress the other powers. By then, the Ye Family’s ruling position might well be shaken!
In the past, if the Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng were here, no one would dare to take such actions. But Ghost Blade Mo Qianli’s stratagem had lured the Sword Saint away, leaving his fate unknown. Given this, the current events were not so surprising after all!
So, as it appeared now, the imdiate plan was to find the Sword Saint. With the Sword Saint present, this battle could render Pingnan Province invincible!
But at this mont, was it possible to find the Sword Saint?
Was there still hope for Pingnan Province?
Su Yang sat below, where many people around him had already started cursing out loud.
The seating arranged by Hu Shao was actually on the side of Pingnan Province, aning most of those seated nearby were people from Pingnan.
Everyone ca here with the hope of seeing the people from Pingnan defeat those from Pingbei Province.
Yet, without a single person from Pingbei Province stepping onto the stage, Pingnan Province had already nearly exhausted themselves in internal conflict.
If it continued in this manner, Pingnan Province was bound to lose!
If Pingnan Province lost, not only would the great families suffer misfortune, but even these wealthy businessn would likely be affected. Eventually, whoever stands firm will have the power to set the rules. Will the rules set by Pingbei Province be favorable to Pingnan Province?
The crowd was seething with anger, yet no one could change the situation on site. Now, even Ye Zhenying couldn’t control the situation, so who else could?
"In my view, Pingnan Province is dood this ti!" Young Master Ding seed slightly pleased: "But fortunately, my dad had expanded our business to Pingbei Province a couple of years back. Nowadays, we even have more assets there. If Pingbei wins, we might actually profit even more from it!"
"Dammit, talking like that, are you even a person from Pingnan Province!" soone nearby couldn’t help but say.
"Mind your own business!" Young Master Ding glared back: "Although I was born in Pingnan Province, I’ve lived in Pingbei Province most of the ti. So, am I considered a Pingnan or Pingbei person? Besides, if you people from Pingnan Province are incompetent and get beaten, who can you bla?"
Everyone was furious; Young Master Ding was shaless indeed. Saying it outright like that, you people from Pingnan Province—in other words, he’d completely identified himself as a person from Pingbei Province!
With a smug look, Young Master Ding said, "Old Hu, we’ve been friends for a long ti. When the ti cos, I’ll talk to my dad, and let him help you out, get your Hu Martial Arts School set up in Pingbei Province too!"
Hu Shao kept his head down and didn’t speak; his heart was speechless too. The defeat of the Pingnan side was without doubt, and he had to start considering his own future.
Seeing that Hu Shao was also silent, Young Master Ding couldn’t help feeling more triumphant. Usually, Hu Shao was the leader of these people, but now, he had apparently beco the head honcho himself.
Casting a covetous glance at Ye Wantong, Young Master Ding suddenly stood up, walked over to Ye Wantong, reached out to put his arm around her shoulder, and, smiling, said, "Miss Ye, I have a villa in Pingbei. How about we go and sit there after a while?"
Now, Hu Shao no longer had the ability to compete with Young Master Ding. Young Master Ding had long coveted Ye Wantong and was obviously much more direct than Hu Shao—he was ready to force the issue!
Ye Wantong dodged Young Master Ding’s hand and glared, "What are you doing!"
"Ah, Miss Ye, what’s this about!" Young Master Ding’s face didn’t change as he smiled and said, "We’ve been talking together for so long. Can’t you see what I’m thinking? I admire you a lot. How about, after the competition tonight, we go sowhere to have a good talk?"
As he spoke, Young Master Ding reached out again to grab Ye Wantong’s wrist.
Ye Wantong was already sitting on the edge; there was no way to dodge this ti.
Just then, Su Yang suddenly made a move, grabbing Young Master Ding’s wrist and forcefully smashing it against the back of the chair.
"Ouch!" Young Master Ding scread in agony. Although Su Yang hadn’t used inner strength, the blow was so intense it nearly broke his bones.
There was a fierce battle on the stage, and Young Master Ding’s scream imdiately drew the attention of many people.
"You dare hit !" Young Master Ding was instantly enraged and shouted loudly, "Everyone, he’s breaking the rules, hitting people here, get him out quickly!"
No one moved; instead, a man in black clothes next to him pointed at Young Master Ding and said, "Shut up!"
"Hey, I got hit!" Young Master Ding said urgently.
"Shut up!" The man in black stressed his tone.
Young Master Ding was completely furious, "What’s with that attitude, let
tell you, I am from Pingbei Province..."
Before Young Master Ding could finish, the man in black slapped him across the face.
Young Master Ding was stunned, pointing at the man in black, "You... you dare hit ..."
At this mont, Lian Qianjun down below said coldly, "Don’t you know the rules? Talk more nonsense, and your tongue will be cut out and thrown out!"
Young Master Ding imdiately sat up straight, not daring to say another word. His previous triumph had clouded his judgnt, and only now did he realize that his status as a person from Pingbei Province really held no sway here.
Without reaching a certain realm, who cares whether he’s from Pingnan Province or Pingbei Province?
At that mont, a person from Pingbei Province not far from Lian Qianjun gave Su Yang a sidelong glance and said sarcastically, "Hitting people is even more against the rules. Drag this kid out and chop off his hands!"
