"Matchmaking?"

In an instant, Ling Quan's face turned extremely grim.

Ling Yue the Elder and Ling Feng's expressions changed drastically as well.

The Ancient Sword Sect has nine Grand Elders in total, and the weakest of them is the Ninth Elder. However, even this Ninth Elder is a Celestial Tier Late Stage powerhouse, whom the Ling Family cannot afford to provoke.

"Hehe, Elder Zhi Huo personally matchmaking, I assume Patriarch Ling Quan won't refuse, right?"

Wei Kun stared at Ling Quan, smilingly said.

Ling Quan glanced at Wei Kun, a glimmer of cold light in the depths of his eyes. So, it turns out Elder Zhi Huo is Wei Kun's backing.

However, no matter what, as a father, Ling Quan naturally wouldn't push his daughter into the fire pit.

At this moment, Ling Quan took a deep breath, cupped his hands toward Elder Zhi Huo and said, "Elder Zhi Huo, my daughter is still young, I'm afraid it's not the right time to discuss marriage."

"Hehe, Patriarch Ling, according to the old man, your daughter's age should be eighteen, right? Not that young. The Wei Family and the Ling Family are well-matched, Wei Hong and your daughter are a good match. This marriage, why not? Could it be that the Ling Family doesn't want to give face to me, Zhi Huo?"

Elder Zhi Huo chuckled softly, his sharp gaze directly fixed on Ling Quan and said.

"I wouldn't dare, Elder Zhi Huo, but in today's society, marriage is a matter of free will. My daughter and Wei Hong from the Wei Family are not acquainted, so please forgive the Ling Family for being unable to agree to this marriage."

Ling Quan said with determination. The Ling Family doesn't have any good feelings toward the Ancient Sword Sect and the Wei Family. Now that the Ancient Sword Sect is representing the Wei Family to force a marriage, the Ling Family people have even less good feelings, how could they possibly marry their daughter over?

"Unable to agree?"

Elder Zhi Huo frowned, his gaze also turning slightly cold.

"Hmph, Patriarch Ling, the old man's patience is limited, and what I said just now represents the opinion of the Ancient Sword Sect. The Ancient Sword Sect hopes that the Wei and Ling families can unite as one and then affiliate with the Ancient Sword Sect for joint development."

Elder Zhi Huo huffed coldly and said directly.

"Affiliate with the Ancient Sword Sect for joint development?"

Ling Quan's face instantly turned even grimmer than before. Did the Ancient Sword Sect mean that the Ling Family and the Wei Family should become affiliated families of the Ancient Sword Sect?

At this moment, the veins on Elder Ling Yue's forehead also bulged. Clearly, he was extremely angry.

"The Ancient Sword Sect is truly bullying intolerably!"

First, they seized the Spirit Jade Ore Vein discovered by the Ling Family, and then they came to force the Ling Family to marry off their daughter, and the marriage partner is even the rival Wei Family. Plus then, they want the Ling Family to become an affiliated power of the Ancient Sword Sect.

Becoming an affiliated power might be tolerable, but if the Ling Family becomes an affiliated power and the Ancient Sword Sect secretly supports the Wei Family in annexing the Ling Family, aiding them to grow dominant, the Ling Family will surely decline over time.

Ling Quan took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and looked at Elder Zhi Huo. Although the Ancient Sword Sect is powerful, it doesn't rule the Ancient Martial Realm single-handedly.

"Elder Zhi Huo, what the Ancient Sword Sect is doing might be inappropriate, if it gets out that the Ancient Sword Sect is forcing the Ling Family to affiliate, I believe the Ancient Martial Arts Arbitration Association won't sit idly by."

Ling Quan stared directly at Elder Zhi Huo, speaking in a deep voice.

The Ancient Martial Arts Arbitration Association is an association formed by powerful Innate Realm experts, establishing some rules and regulations that Ancient Martial powers and Ancient Martial Artists should adhere to.

For example, a high-level sect cannot force a low-level sect, and cannot slaughter or exterminate a low-level sect. The Ancient Sword Sect, being a superpower, naturally cannot forcibly coerce the Ling Family.

Without these rules and regulations, the Ancient Martial powers would have been thrown into chaos long ago.

"The Ancient Martial Arts Arbitration Association?"

A cold glint flashed in Elder Zhi Huo's eyes, not expecting the Ling Family to bring up the Ancient Martial Arts Arbitration Association.

"Hehe, Patriarch Ling Quan, our Ancient Sword Sect is truly well-intentioned, wanting to facilitate a marriage. Besides, affiliating with our Ancient Sword Sect has no harm for the Ling Family, it depends on whether Patriarch Ling is willing to give the old man or the Ancient Sword Sect a little face."

Elder Zhi Huo smiled faintly, but the coldness in his eyes increased as he said.

Hearing this, Ling Quan's face turned grim. Although the Ancient Martial Arts Arbitration Association might intervene in these matters, it cannot prevent the Ancient Sword Sect from playing tricks in secret. The Ling Family, merely a first-class power, and not too strong even among first-class powers, cannot possibly contend with the Ancient Sword Sect.

"Patriarch Ling, the Ling Family also has the option to refuse. It's just that, if one day, by any chance, Patriarch Ling gets injured or dies suddenly, or your daughter is kidnapped, that would have nothing to do with our Ancient Sword Sect."

Elder Zhi Huo stared at Ling Quan, a glimmer of sinister coldness in his eyes, chuckling lightly.

A threat, a blatant threat!

Crack!

Ling Quan secretly clenched his fists, a trace of anger in his eyes.

Elder Ling Yue, Ling Feng, and the others also had grim expressions, Ancient Sword Sect is really pushing it too far, yet the Ling Family simply has no way to deal with the Ancient Sword Sect. After all, the Ling Family and the Ancient Sword Sect are not on the same level.

At this moment, a somewhat leisurely voice rang out.

"Huh? Uncle Ling, when did an old dog enter the Ling Family hall, barking nonsense, disturbing my meal."

Qin Yang munched on a bread, leisurely walked out from the dining room.

Regarding the Wei Family's marriage proposal, Qin Yang naturally heard about it. However, he originally thought the Ling Family could handle it, but didn't expect another Elder from the Ancient Sword Sect to appear out of nowhere.

"Old dog?"

Upon hearing Qin Yang's words, Elder Zhi Huo's face instantly became extremely gloomy. Unless he were a fool, he would know that this brat's words were insulting him.

As the Ninth Elder of the Ancient Sword Sect and also a Celestial Tier Late Stage expert, with high status, he is respected wherever he goes, who dares to mock him as an old dog to his face.

In that instant, the killing intent in Elder Zhi Huo's heart nearly boiled over!

"You ignorant brat, who are you calling an old dog?!"

Wei Kun saw Elder Zhi Huo's face as gloomy as it could possibly be, and immediately shouted angrily.

"Oh, so it's not just one old dog, there's also a big dog and a little dog here. I say, you three must be a family."

Qin Yang's gaze swept over Wei Kun and Wei Hong, speaking with a smile.

This remark made Zhi Huo, Wei Kun, and Wei Hong instantly rage, their fury bubbled up, nearly reaching their heads.

Ling Quan, Ling Yue, Ling Feng, and the others stood frozen, their expressions changed dramatically, it was not difficult to foresee that a great battle was likely to break out in the hall at any moment!

"Young Master Qin..."

Ling Quan's face turned anxious, but evidently, the words were said, there was no way to stop it now.

"Bastard, seeking death!"

Wei Hong growled furiously, being a known playboy of Yukun City, how could someone dare to scold him as a dog.

Wei Kun was also infuriated to the point of laughter, not only had they offended the Wei Family, but they even dared to outright rebuke the Ninth Elder of the Ancient Sword Sect, truly not knowing the meaning of death.

Swoosh!

Wei Hong's figure flashed, aura spreading from his body. His strength had already stepped into Profound Tier Middle Stage, with Inner Power concentrated in his right fist, he punched toward Qin Yang.
