Chapter 59: The Evil of the Zhao Family (V)
"What's going on?"
"Yeah, I heard it was about the Zhao family. What happened to the Zhao family?"
"The Zhao family?" Xie Manqing, who came on behalf of the Xie family, couldn't help but roll his eyes. He sat back in his chair and tidied his hair elegantly. "Let me make it clear first, if anything happens to the Zhao family, our Xie family will not help."
Although there are no major conflicts between the Xie family and the Zhao family, how can there be no minor frictions and conflicts in doing business?
Moreover, the Xie family has always looked down upon the Zhao family's unscrupulous approach to achieving their goals.
Not to mention that Xie Manqing herself extremely disliked the Zhao family.
The other families also thought that something had happened to the Zhao family and wanted to ask the other families for help. After all, everyone had seen Zhao Baili just now, and Zhao Baili was outside the hall at this time.
Because the people sent by the Xiao family said it was a very important matter, almost all those who came were from the main family. The one who came from the City Lord's Mansion this time was Xia Qin.
Xia Qin had met Xu Qiuqian before the auction, and seeing her inevitably reminded her of the auction.
"Could it be that the Zhao family wants the Purple Phoenix Sacred Talisman?"
This guess is quite reasonable.
“No, if the Zhao family wants the Purple Phoenix Sacred Talisman, how could they need help from other families? They can do it themselves. It should be a more important matter.” It turned out that the person who came from the Feng family this time was Feng Qinghe.
Feng Qinghe glanced at Xu Qiuqian worriedly.
"Maybe it has something to do with Manager Xu."
Xu Qiuqian didn't expect that the two people's speculations would more or less involve her.
Seeing that everyone started to make various speculations, Xiao Pingyue flicked his sleeves and threw out several jade slips, which the others took one by one. In addition to sorting out his emotions and thoughts, he also used his spiritual sense to copy several jade slips.
"I won't say more, just take a look first."
His voice was steady and there was a faint smile on his face. He had sorted out his emotions now and was not as out of control as before.
But the others still found something wrong.
Everyone's mentality also subtly changed, and they carefully checked the contents of the jade slip.
With a "bang".
"How ridiculous! I'm going to kill those beasts from the Zhao family!" Xie Manqing stood up suddenly, her bright face full of anger, and she was about to rush out.
Chen Zhuozheng had anticipated this and stood blocking the door.
"Fellow Daoist Manqing, calm down."
Feng Qinghe's hand holding the jade slip was shaking in disbelief.
"Is all this true? Was Lu Yun really seriously injured by the Zhao family?"
"Damn it! I told you that our Ying family has always been meticulous and skilled in training and feeding spirit beasts. How could we have made any mistakes? It turns out that the death of nearly 30,000 spirit beasts was caused by the Zhao family! I will kill the Zhao family to avenge the death of 30,000 spirit beasts!"
Xu Qiuqian: “…”
Unexpectedly, what the Ying family cared about was not the lives of their disciples but the 30,000 spiritual beasts.
The Ying family is also weird.
No wonder Ying Liangzhi became like that.
Xia Qin's face also darkened.
The Zhao family did the least to the City Lord's Mansion, but the few things they did were enough to make her angry.
“Get out of the way!” Xie Manqing stared at Chen Zhuozheng coldly and summoned the magical weapon, the Burning Spirit Silk. The thin but sharp golden thread was across Chen Zhuozheng’s neck in the blink of an eye. If it went forward an inch more, it would cut Chen Zhuozheng’s throat. “Otherwise, I’ll kill you too.”
The hall was filled with endless anger and murderous intent.
"Be quiet." Xiao Pingyue said indifferently, "Whoever disobeys my advice and steps out of the hall today will be the enemy of the Xiao family."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Even Xie Manqing put away the Burning Spirit Silk and said coldly: "Xiao Pingyue, you'd better give me a reason that satisfies me. My Xie family is not afraid of making enemies with the Xiao family."
After saying that, he tidied his messy hair, folded his arms, turned around, and sat back in his seat slowly.
Everyone looked at Xiao Pingyue.
Xiao Pingyue then spoke: "It is true that what the Zhao family did is worthy of being cut into pieces, but have you ever thought about what other people in Youling City would think if we all rushed to the Zhao family and killed everyone in the Zhao family? What would people in other cities and even the entire Xuanyun Continent think?
Even if we ignore other people's opinions and just rush over, won't the Zhao family be on guard at all? The Zhao family's current status and strength are firmly on top of several major families. Even if we work together to wipe out the Zhao family, who knows if the Zhao family's resistance will cause our other disciples to lose again in the process?"
These words woke everyone up.
Yes, it is not easy to destroy a family that is equal to their status and strength.
What’s more, the Zhao family also has Zhao Shiming, who is in the late stage of foundation building.
Once Zhao Shiming resists, the other families will suffer considerable casualties.
"What should we do? Are we just going to watch the Zhao family continue to do evil and not be able to take revenge?"
"How funny! Do you think that all of my Xie family disciples are afraid of death? What the Xie family fears is not death, but being harmed by traitors. If I have to die to avenge my fellow Xie family members, even I will not hesitate at all!"
Xie Manqing had a mocking look on his face.
Feng Qinghe's eyes were red.
"Yes, we are not afraid of death. As long as the Zhao family gets the punishment they deserve, I will do anything."
Chen Zhuozheng didn't say anything, but his expression expressed the same attitude.
Xia Qin frowned: "Friend Ping Yue should have thought of a countermeasure, right?"
When Xiao Pingyue said those words, he anticipated other people's reactions.
He nodded slightly.
"I have a way that will allow us to deal with the Zhao family without losing a single person."
Outside the hall, Zhao Baili was in a daze.
I don’t know what he was thinking about, but a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes.
"Why is the guidance of destiny like this..."
He murmured softly, his voice almost inaudible.
"Zhao Baili, come in, we have something to discuss with you."
Zhao Baili came to his senses and walked into the hall.
Everyone looked at him coldly, with murderous gleams in their eyes almost overflowing.
“We discussed for a long time and decided to give you two choices.
First, you must fully cooperate with our plan. If you make any mistakes or pass on any information to anyone in the Zhao family, we will no longer cooperate with you and will kill all the people in the Zhao family without leaving a single one alive.
If you choose the first one, we will spare your life, as well as the lives of the Zhao family members of Kaiyun Sect and the branches of the Zhao family that did not participate in the whole process.
Second, if you refuse to cooperate with us, you will die here."
"Do I have any other choice?" Zhao Baili smiled bitterly.
Obviously, no.
He took a deep breath.
"I choose the first one. What do you need me to do?"
"It's very simple. Go back to the Zhao family and tell Zhao Shiming that we know everything the Zhao family has done, and convince him to flee Youling City with his family immediately. As for what to do next, I will send someone to notify you when you have done it."
Unexpectedly, he was asked to tell his father about it.
For a moment, Zhao Baili really didn't understand what Xiao Pingyue was planning.
But he had no choice but to do it.
"I see."
"This is Shuiyunmu. You can use this to communicate when the time comes. Okay, you can leave now."
Zhao Baili left, and Xia Qin worriedly asked, "Will it succeed? What if Zhao Baili tells Zhao Shiming about this, and they use their trick against him?"
