At this moment, the entire East Sea's elite and famous were gathered here.
Even Xiang Tianyang and his son, Xiang Fei, had come here.
Of course, Chu Feng had also followed to join in the excitement.
"Father, what do you think the Yuan Family is up to this time?"
"They've actually summoned all the wealthy and influential people of the East Sea."
Xiang Fei looked around at the continuous stream of people arriving, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"We'll know in due time,"
Xiang Tianyang said indifferently, sitting to one side.
"I smell a hint of a trap within this banquet!!!"
Chu Feng spoke.
Many people, upon seeing Xiang Tianyang, came forward to greet him.
As for those people, Xiang Tianyang merely nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Before long, Yuan Hua, the Yuan Family Master, arrived at the banquet.
He walked straight to the stage, holding a microphone and spoke to the group of East Sea dignitaries there:
"Welcome, esteemed guests, to tonight's gathering."
"You must all be curious about why I've convened everyone here tonight, aren't you?"
Yuan Hua said with a smile.
At that moment, everyone in attendance looked at Yuan Hua with curious expressions,
wondering what the other party was up to.
"The distinguished individuals here today are leaders of the major industries in the East Sea."
"You are also the elites with status and voice here."
"Tonight, I have gathered you all to propose the creation of an alliance to unite everyone,"
"so that we can develop together and make the East Sea completely ours!!!"
Yuan Hua spoke to the people present.
Upon hearing Yuan Hua's words,
the expressions of these dignitaries from the East Sea were shocked.
"Is this guy playing such a big game?"
Chu Feng sneered at Yuan Hua on stage.
"Father, what does this guy mean?"
Xiang Fei was somewhat dumbfounded at the moment.
"He wants to be the boss of the East Sea, expecting these people to become his subordinates!!!"
Chu Feng stated outright.
"What?"
"Has this guy gone mad? Who would agree to that?"
Xiang Fei looked at Yuan Hua on stage, shocked.
"Interesting!!!"
Xiang Tianyang said softly.
"Family Head Yuan, what exactly do you mean by this alliance?"
At that moment, someone in the audience asked Yuan Hua.
"The meaning of the alliance is to gather all our individual powers together under my unified leadership and responsibility,"
"so that everyone can develop even better."
"And the East Sea will completely become our world!!!"
Yuan Hua said with a smile.
And upon hearing his words, all the faces in the audience went through a barrage of changes.
These people were no fools; they naturally understood what Yuan Hua meant.
Yuan Hua wanted to unify control over their forces, then position himself as the top leader.
"It seems to me that Family Head Yuan doesn't want to make the East Sea our world,"
"but rather his own personal domain!!!"
Xiang Tianyang said softly, sitting there.
"Family Head Xiang, why would you say that? I'm doing this for everyone's benefit!!!"
"Only by uniting can we all develop better, right?"
Yuan Hua said with a smile.
"Sorry, Family Head Yuan, but I have another engagement, so I'll be leaving now!!!"
At that moment, someone in the crowd addressed Yuan Hua and said,
then turned to leave the venue.
Pu chi!!!
Just as this person had reached the entrance of the banquet hall,
a figure clad in black rushed out and killed this East Sea dignitary with a single stroke of his blade.
The victim's head flew off, and crimson blood spurted forth.
This bloody scene startled all the East Sea nobility present.
Their expressions shifted rapidly, betraying their severe discomfort.
At that moment, several more figures in black appeared in the hall.
Armed and exuding terrifying evil Qi, their icy glares fixed on the crowd.
With the arrival of these figures,
everyone in the banquet hall descended into complete chaos.
A look of terror crept into their eyes.
"The aura of these people is the same as those from the Heavenly Slaughter Sect we encountered before."
"It seems the Yuan Family must have formed an alliance with the Heavenly Slaughter Sect, which is why they dare to do such a thing,"
Chu Feng said with a sneer.
"Family Head Yuan, what is the meaning of this?"
An East Sea family head asked Yuan Hua with a grave expression.
"Today, if any of you choose to stay and are willing to join this alliance, then you are my friends,"
"But if you wish to leave and refuse to join, then you are my enemies,"
"And my principle for dealing with enemies is to eliminate them root and branch!!!"
Yuan Hua spoke coldly.
His last four words were especially emphatic, each laden with murderous intent.
After hearing Yuan Hua's words, the expressions of the elite and influential figures of the East Sea present turned extremely ugly.
Clearly, Yuan Hua had already decided that tonight he would subjugate them entirely, forcibly uniting the whole East Sea and establishing himself as the paramount leader.
"How about it, everyone? Will you be my friends, or my enemies?!!!"
Yuan Hua chuckled coldly.
At that moment, a man wearing a black robe with a cold demeanor stepped up to the platform.
"Master!!!"
Seeing the man, Yuan Hua hurriedly greeted him with great respect.
"Why waste words with them!!!"
The man barked coldly.
He then swept his gaze over everyone present:
"Tonight, you have only one choice: either submit to the Yuan Family and become their subordinates,"
"Or else die here tonight, and the Yuan Family will take control of your forces anyway."
Boom!!!
Upon hearing the man's words, the place exploded with tension.
The East Sea dignitaries each wore a look of distaste.
"Family Head Yuan, what you are doing is extremely dangerous!!!"
"If we all die here, how will you explain it?"
An East Sea tycoon addressed Yuan Hua with a stern voice.
"If you all die here, by tomorrow the news will spread,"
"That Family Head Xiang, in his quest to control the East Sea's forces, ruthlessly slaughtered you all."
Yuan Hua said with a playful look.
The crowd's expression changed, and their gazes instinctively turned to Xiang Tianyang.
"Yuan Hua, it seems you invited me here tonight,"
"So I could take the blame for this, very thoughtful indeed!!!"
Xiang Tianyang said, smiling faintly at Yuan Hua.
"Thanks for the compliment, but since you're a dead man anyway, what does it matter if you take the blame?"
Yuan Hua jeered.
"It seems you all made thorough plans tonight to take over the entire East Sea."
"But do you really think you can succeed?"
Xiang Tianyang stood up and said coldly.
"Please, Family Head Xiang, take a stand for us!!!"
"Please, Family Head Xiang, stand up for us!!!"
The previously outspoken East Sea magnate addressed Xiang Tianyang directly.
Following suit, other people in attendance also began to plead with Xiang Tianyang.
Now, their only hope lay with Xiang Tianyang.
After all, they all remembered that once, Xiang Tianyang was a Martial Arts Expert.
