Free Web NovelChapter 1412: Chapter 1389: Overawing the Crowd, Collective Retreat!
Under the gaze of this cold gleam, Qin Shou’s allies felt as if they were being stared at by a bloodthirsty ancient beast. Their bodies were so rigid they didn’t dare move, or even breathe loudly. It was as if they had lost the freedom to breathe, and under the enormous pressure, they silently lowered their heads to stare at their toes!
"Gulp—"
After a while, someone struggled to swallow several times, wiped the cold sweat from their forehead, and forced their leaden legs to leave the restaurant.
After that, more and more people left.
No one dared to glance at the second floor again.
Nor did anyone dare to continue being arrogant with Li Ying.
Even if they were given ten lives, they wouldn’t dare!
Li Ying died too mysteriously, too suddenly. They all felt that the young man on the second floor, a stranger, was someone capable of killing without batting an eye!
The strength of this ruthless person was absolutely terrifying!
Moreover, this ruthless person seemed to be Qin Shou’s enemy, yet he spoke up for Ye Bingning!
As Qin Shou’s fair-weather friends, these people didn’t dare to linger, and scattered like birds and beasts.
A minute later, the once bustling restaurant became extremely quiet, with only about a dozen people left!
Without exception, those remaining were Qin Shou’s enemies!
Originally, they were all infuriated by Li Ying’s words, but didn’t dare to resist at all!
Why? Because Li Ying’s side was simply too powerful!
Now, they felt a great relief from the stifling resentment in their hearts!
"Esteemed master, may I ask if you are an enemy of Qin Shou?" someone clasped their fists and asked Ye Huan on the second floor, with utmost respect in their voice as they recognized Ye Huan’s strength.
"Enemy?" Ye Huan pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "My relationship with Qin Shou is far from friendly. One might say it’s irreconcilable. Ye Bingning is my close friend, yet she was forced, under the siege of the Six Gates and Qin Family, to marry that brute Qin Shou. Moreover, Qin Shou repeatedly boasted about offering my friend to other men to toy with. How can I tolerate this?"
"Qin Shou, that bastard, is utterly detestable. Ruining countless young ladies isn’t enough for him; he’s shameless enough to use his own woman as a bargaining chip for benefits, offering her to other men!"
Qin Shou’s enemies were filled with righteous indignation, their anger swelling.
At this moment, Ye Huan looked displeased and said coldly, "Let me correct you, Ye Bingning is not Qin Shou’s woman. She is merely temporarily forced into a dangerous situation. I will not allow her to remain in danger."
"So, master, are you planning to storm Wuya Peak tomorrow, disrupt the alliance between the Six Gates and Qin Family, and rescue the beautiful Ye Bingning?" someone asked.
Ye Huan did not hide it, calmly sipping his wine, "You could say that."
"Master, please reconsider!"
This person suddenly showed a look of despair, sighed deeply, and said, "Cao Bin has arrived in Wuya Town. If you continue with the intention of disrupting the Qin Family’s marriage alliance, there can only be one outcome: death!"
"To be honest, all of us here have an irreconcilable blood feud with Qin Shou. Upon learning of his alliance marriage with the Six Gates, we specially formed an organization called the ’Anti-Qin Shou Alliance’, planning a series of actions to retaliate against the Qin Family and Qin Shou on the day of the marriage!"
"This alliance once had up to 1089 members, but when we gathered in Wuya Town to discuss our plan, we suddenly realized numerous Ancient Martial Clans came to support the Qin Family. At that point, many members fell into a state of despair, realizing that matching our strength against these clans would only be futile, like an egg hitting a stone or an ant trying to shake a tree. Discouraged members gradually left the alliance. We are the last batch, and now, we plan to completely disband the alliance!"
"It’s not that we don’t want to avenge our wives and fiancées, but the power of the Qin Family is insurmountably strong and terrifying. Even a top-tier family like the Cao Family is standing with the Qin Family, sending the monstrosity Cao Bin to rally support for them!"
"I’m sure you saw our lackluster performance in front of Li Ying. He called us overconfident and warned that if we wanted revenge against the Qin Family but couldn’t even start a sabotage, we would be executed, and we couldn’t refute him! Why? Because we know he’s right. Wuya Peak is backed by one top-tier family, two second-tier families, and countless third and fourth-tier families. We couldn’t even reach Wuya Peak; we would be killed by those family elites before that!"
"The Qin Family’s connections are too strong, its power too immense. They are entities we cannot afford to confront!"
"Master, your strength is formidable, truly impressive. You scared off those arrogant fools just now with a single move. But you should know, their status within those Ancient Martial Clans is not high. The true powerhouses of those clans aren’t here in the tavern!"
"Under such circumstances, if you insist on opposing the Qin Family, there’s only one end: being executed by the Qin Family’s coalition and reporting to Hell!"
"Regarding Ye Bingning, it’s best if you don’t interfere! Before the towering tree of the Qin Family’s coalition, you are as insignificant as an ant, and you cannot save Ye Bingning. Her fate will be cruel humiliation at the hands of Qin Shou and his friends, becoming a mere plaything!"
"Alas!"
After this last sigh, these dozen or so people once again clasped their fists to Ye Huan: "Master, please consider carefully, and remember not to act on emotion. Otherwise, you will die, and your close friend will be doomed. Under these circumstances, it might be better to conserve your strength and wait for another day to avenge the beautiful Bingning! That’s all we have to say, take care, goodbye!"
With that, they left the tavern, parting ways at the entrance.
This announced the complete disbanding of the Anti-Qin Shou Alliance, having lasted less than a month!
But before disbanding, they spoke from the heart, urging Ye Huan not to rush to his death at Wuya Peak.
The Qin Family’s coalition is simply too powerful. Even if a super top-tier family attended, disrupting this marriage would be extremely difficult!
Unless the Ling Family backed them, no one could stop this marriage from proceeding!
Trying hard to obstruct it could only lead to death!
The Qin Family’s connections and resources are just too strong, its lineup too formidable!!
These people sincerely hoped Ye Huan wouldn’t go to Wuya Peak alone to die trying to play hero.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Although they didn’t consider Ye Huan a friend, they viewed him as a potential ally in the future!
Qin Shou, that damned dog, must be avenged.
But not now. When the Anti-Qin Shou Alliance is reformed to launch a retaliation against Qin Shou, perhaps they could recruit the powerful Ye Huan as a henchman enforcer. With his strength, he could hold up a portion of the sky for the alliance, increasing the chances of successful revenge.
Just thinking about being able to command such a strong warrior thrilled them.
But they remembered, as they left, Ye Huan still appeared cold and indifferent, seemingly not heeding their advice!
No choice, if Ye Huan truly doesn’t listen to advice and insists on confronting the Qin Family alliance tomorrow, sending himself to death, they would have no choice but to offer him three incense sticks during the Qingming Festival on the fifth of March next year!
