CHAPTER 181: CHAPTER 181: CONFRONTATION

Taihang Market, Auction Hall Conference Building.

Master Jiang sat at the top, feeling quite helpless at the moment.

Before him, Ye Xingliu and Ye Jingyu, father and son, seemed ready to fight with the Chen family’s Chen Xuanzhou and the Li family’s Li Muhe.

All three parties were furious, eyes wide with rage, extremely intimidating.

"I’ll say it again, do you recognize this Daoist robe?"

"Colluding with evil cultivators, invading the clan mountain, looting treasures, killing our clansmen!" Ye Xingliu slapped the table, pointing at the clothing on the table!

Speaking loudly.

"This is irreconcilable!"

"If Master Jiang or the sect does not stand up for our family, then our Ye Family will undoubtedly stand up for ourselves!"

This scene made Chen Xuanzhou and Li Muhe silent for a moment, but soon they spoke righteous words as well.

"Our family has only a few Foundation Establishment cultivators, how could we collude with evil cultivators, invade your clan mountain? What’s there in your clan mountain? Amazing treasures? Spirit beasts to nurture? Or some true spirit hatchlings?" Chen Xuanzhou spoke loudly.

Last time he was caught by the Ye Family with evidence, extorted for a large sum of Spirit Stones and a treasure.

This time, no matter what he wouldn’t succumb!

Even if he surrendered, he would wait until the Ye Family exposed their own combat power, letting the Taiyi Sect know!

Then they would claim ignorance.

Both their elder patriarchs were in seclusion, not telling them, so they didn’t even fear the Spirit Inquiry Talisman!

As for anything extra, they’re not aware.

Yet, thinking like this, they were simultaneously angry and fearful!

Each of their families had a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator enter the Ye Clan, but there was no movement.

Yet, the Jade Talisman hadn’t shattered, implying they’d been captured by the Ye Family.

As for the Ye Family’s claim of injuring them with an array causing them to flee, they didn’t believe it.

Even if they fled, they would return to their family.

"Then have your two elder patriarchs come out, Li Yulan and Chen Xuan’an, to confront!"

"If they’re injured, it means they went to the Ye Family. If they’re not, it means they didn’t go to the Ye Family. At that time, our Ye Family is willing to compensate with the highest courtesy!" Ye Xingliu spoke again.

This statement also made Jiang Jinghe, sitting on the high platform, somewhat troubled.

Ye Xingliu spoke with conviction, naturally reasonable.

While the Li and Chen families hesitated, though they were angry, it was mere empty anger!

Clearly, there was a problem.

Even mentioned the treasure on Ye Clan Mountain.

Though he was also intrigued by Ye Family’s treasure, at this moment, it wasn’t something that could be dismissed casually.

Ye Xingliu from the Ye Family, famous for being tough in debates.

"Report this matter to the sect then!" Jiang Jinghe was equally annoyed, staying here, if a fight broke out, it would reflect poorly on him.

Then he looked towards Chu Xiyu and the Xu and Mo family cultivators beside them, his gaze even more resigned.

Before Ye Jingyu and Ye Xingliu arrived, this was the confrontation place for Chu Xiyu and the Xu and Mo families.

However, they were clashing because several territories of the Chu family were invaded by evil cultivators.

But because the Chu family reduced cultivators and concentrated defenses, they didn’t leave any evidence at all.

These families’ matter was also a mess.

If he used his usual approach, judging by reason and the scale of the issue, it would be easy.

But Chu Tianfen’s daughter from the Chu family was related within the Taiyi Sect, and the Xu and Mo families also had considerable influence within the sect.

Hard to adjudicate.

Now, with the matter of the Ye, Chen, and Li families emerging, equally entangled.

Luckily, the Ye Family had evidence, he could report it alongside Chu, Xu, and Mo families’ arguments.

As for how to judge, that wasn’t his concern.

The Ye Family was naturally highly likely to succeed.

After all, there was evidence of the clan robe and scenes of evil cultivators killing Ye Family cultivators.

Even the Array-Breaking Talisman closely resembled the Chen family’s, since their expertise was in refining talismans.

Moreover, the Chen and Li families couldn’t bring out their elder patriarchs!

This was crucial, making him ponder how injured Chen Xuan’an and Li Muhe were.

And yet after two days of recovery, they still hadn’t improved enough to come out.

"Then it’s settled, submit the evidence and wait for Taiyi Sect to decide!" Jiang Jinghe, seeing no one answering, didn’t want to be bothered now.

This time, indeed, the Chen and Li family had overstepped.

"As for our Chu family’s matter, I trouble Master Jiang to also report it. Evil cultivators run rampant in Taihang Commandery territory, all families should deploy Foundation Establishment cultivators together to clear them out. Also, certain people with ulterior motives must not be allowed to continue freely!"

"What does Patriarch Xu and Patriarch Mo think?" Chu Xiyu continued to ask.

At this point, he didn’t fear offending the Xu and Mo families badly.

This time, they purchased Purple Mansion Jade Liquid to condense the Purple Mansion Dao Foundation.

It was a big gamble.

If they won, why would they need to care about Xu and Mo families? Both being part of the Purple Mansion Clan, they would compete more on financial abilities.

"What’s Patriarch Chu’s intention? Do you think our Mo Family will be detrimental to you? During the beast tide, wasn’t it our Mo Family that protected your clan mountain?" Patriarch Mo Hongyuan finally spoke.

With these words, Jiang Jinghe felt a headache as he realized the matter became more complex. Though he was half a prefect here, he suffered because he wasn’t a Purple Mansion Cultivator; he was merely late-stage Foundation Establishment.

According to Taiyi Sect inner realm, actually, prefects or market masters should be from the Purple Mansion.

It’s just that Taihang Commandery compared to Taiqing and Taichang Commandery, both in terms of area and power, was far behind, allowing him to find this opportunity.

"No need to debate further, it’s just submission!" Master Jiang interrupted.

The Xu, Mo and Chu families ceased to speak.

But the Chen and Li families became anxious.

They couldn’t withstand investigation.

Ye Xingliu acted under sect orders.

"Master Jiang, grant us ten more days, our Grand Elder is in seclusion, isn’t it normal for a cultivator to be in seclusion?" Chen Xuanzhou spoke up.

"Yes, our elder patriarch of the Li Family is also in seclusion!" Li Muhe added.

"Oh? In seclusion, then I’ll wait for three more days, if you can’t come in three days, what then?" Ye Xingliu directly refused!

"I think even in seclusion, there’s a contingency, right!"

"Unless both your elder patriarchs are like Chu Family’s elder patriarch? In seclusion breaking through to the Purple Mansion, it’s understandable then!"

"But verbal won’t do, it must be a Heavenly Dao Oath!" Ye Xingliu said.

With these words, both parties turned pale!

Especially Ye Xingliu’s confidence made them more convinced that their elder patriarchs were in the Ye Family’s hands.

They became somewhat dispirited.

But as a family patriarch, they still held onto their dignity.

As long as Master Jiang didn’t submit, they had hope.

They looked towards Patriarch Mo, knowing that the Mo Family also took part this time.

So they hoped Patriarch Mo could help them out!

"I wonder who that evil cultivator is?" Patriarch Mo Hongyuan finally spoke.

Inquiring about the identity of the evil cultivator.
