Chapter 517: Wait and See
Yang Yuanqing, with red eyes, said, "Qin Tian, that dog, is simply an unforgivable villain!"
"He has ambitious plans and actually wants to suppress us with bloody means and take the position of the leader of the Southern Seven Provinces Alliance!"
"This scoundrel should be punished by everyone!"
"Old Master Ji, your Ji family is also a part of the Southern Seven Provinces. Now that such a scum has appeared in the Southern Seven Provinces, you wouldn't just sit idly by, would you?"
"I've heard that the Ji family has a strong sense of justice. If even you are afraid of Qin Tian, then I, Yang, have to doubt whether your Ji family is as loyal and righteous as the rumors say."
His words were full of sarcasm and disdain. He truly looked down on the Ji family.
Upon hearing his words, Ji Chang's expression turned unpleasant. However, due to his status, he refrained from directly retorting.
Ri Lun Zhao Jiu immediately became displeased and said in a deep voice, "Yang clan leader, what are you saying?"
"Are you treating our Ji family as mere thugs?"
"I know your five major families have plenty of money, but we're not interested!"
Yang Yuanqing's face turned gloomy. He sensed a strong aura of killing coming from Zhao Jiu, unintentionally exuding from him.
It was an extremely intense killing intent, comparable to Bai Sha.
Now that he didn't have high-level cultivators by his side and needed help from others, he had to swallow his pride.
Wang Yue saw that the atmosphere was getting tense and quickly smiled, "Masters, this matter is not a child's play. How about we take some time to discuss it?"
"We'll give you an answer before sunset. How about that?"
Ma Zhuoqun laughed, "That's only fair."
"Since that's the case, we'll wait for good news then."
Ji Chang calmly said, "Butler, arrange the best rooms in our hotel for the three masters."
After the three of them left, Ji Chang frowned and said, "Wang Yue, is this Qin Tian they mentioned the same person who defeated Ji Xing according to Ah Fu?"
Wang Yue nodded and said, "I'm afraid so."
"That's exactly what I thought, so I didn't agree to their request."
"Old Master, it seems that this Qin Tian is not easy to deal with. Not only did he defeat the young master, but he also has the ability to kill high-level cultivators from three major families."
"If we agree recklessly, it might not be appropriate."
Zhao Jiu said angrily, "Wang, my old friend, when did you become so timid?"
"These major families may not be worthy, but if Qin Tian really did those things, then they should be punished!"
"Moreover, he even bullied our young master."
"In my opinion, we should agree and go deal with Qin Tian."
"Old Master, please make the decision. I'll personally take action."
"Defending the martial dao is also our mission."
Ji Chang frowned and said, "Wang Yue, call Ji Xing and ask about the situation."
"Why did I hear from Ah Fu that Ji Xing has great admiration for Qin Tian? Someone who has earned Ji Xing's admiration shouldn't be capable of such things."
"We can defend the martial dao, but we should be cautious and not let others take advantage of us."
Wang Yue nodded and said, "Old Master, you're thinking ahead. I also feel that there might be hidden motives behind all this."
He immediately called Ji Xing and asked for detailed information about Qin Tian's situation.
At Flitz Zhao Family, Ji Xing was full of confidence. After studying and practicing tirelessly for these days since Qin Tian defeated him, he believed he had found a way to break his move.
The news of the alliance leader election had reached the Zhao Family. Ji Xing and Liu Qingyao discussed and decided to go to Silklake together in seven days.
By then, he would challenge Qin Tian once again.
Just thinking about it made him excited. Not only because he could spar with high-level cultivators, but also because if he defeated Qin Tian, he would be able to marry Liu Qingyao.
Liu Qingyao didn't say it out loud, but after spending these days together, she had developed feelings for Ji Xing.
She rediscovered the beauty of the world, and even her hatred towards Qin Tian wasn't as strong anymore.
"Uncle Wang Yue, what did you say? Qin Tian causing a massacre in Silklake? That's impossible!"
Upon hearing the news, Ji Xing immediately denied it. However, thinking back to that day when Qin Tian caused a massacre in the Zhao Family, he couldn't help but say, "But it's also possible."
"If those people truly offended Qin Tian, and committed acts that outraged the heavens and angered the people, Qin Tian might unleash a massacre."
Wang Yue asked, "Young Master, are you suggesting that even if Qin Tian takes action, there is a reason behind it?"
"It's not just about eliminating dissidents and taking the position of the leader?"
Ji Xing pondered for a moment and affirmed, "Yes."
"With my understanding of Qin Tian, he wouldn't unleash a massacre for his own selfish gains."
"I see. Young Master, that's all for now." Wang Yue hung up the phone and reported the situation to Ji Chang.
Ji Chang pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, let's wait and see."
"If the three masters urge us, we'll tell them that we haven't reached a decision yet and ask them to wait."
"Yes." Before sunset, Wang Yue personally rushed to the hotel and informed Chen Teng and the others of the result.
Upon hearing the news, both Chen Teng and Yang Yuanqing were furious. If it weren't for this being the Ji family's territory, they would have slammed the table and cursed.
Ma Zhuoqun smiled and said, "Gentlemen, the Ji family didn't directly refuse. They just want us to wait."
"After all, anyone would have to carefully consider dealing with Qin Tian, a high-level cultivator."
Chen Teng and Yang Yuanqing could only wait with patience. Now, only the Ji family could deal with Qin Tian, so they decided that as long as the Ji family didn't agree, they would stay here and not leave.
Ma Zhuoqun secretly reported the news to Qin Tian.
Qin Tian sneered, "Then let's wait and see."
"But I don't think the other party will give up so easily."
Ma Zhuoqun asked in confusion, "Mr. Qin, who do you mean by 'the other party'?"
Qin Tian smiled, "I'm talking about the person who wants to drag the Ji family down and see me and the Ji family both suffer."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Tian looked out the window.
Nightfall was approaching once again.
Ever since the ten-day deadline for the alliance leader election was announced, there had been casualties every night.
Would there be more tonight?
And if so, who would be the one to die?
Qin Tian suddenly felt worried. He felt that he couldn't let the other party act recklessly.
In the end, it could lead to an uncontrollable disaster.
However, he didn't know what he should do. From the beginning, the other party had pulled him into this without his knowledge.
Now, besides waiting, he felt like there was nothing else he could do.
Under the cover of night.
A bloodbath was about to unfold!
After daybreak, the bloody news once again shook everyone's nerves.
The leaders of the Lin family, responsible for the Eastern Hua Province's Chamber of Commerce, and the Yan family, responsible for the Rosereed Chamber of Commerce, were both invaded by several mysterious figures dressed in black.
The black-clad individuals claimed to be Qin Tian's subordinates. After brutally massacring the guards of the two families, they left behind a ruthless message.
If they didn't obediently submit to their boss, the two families would face utter destruction.
