Chapter 478: Chapter 478 Zhou Yu Arrives!

Liu Zongsen glanced at the crowd, and with a flicker in his eyes, he said:

"I think, Mr. Yang Tianpeng is the most suitable person."

"As a special envoy of the Punishment Hall, he already wields great power and has prestige, making him the perfect candidate for this position."

Yang Tianpeng was the Liu Family’s stalwart supporter, and his appointment would naturally benefit the Liu Family.

However, before anyone could respond, Yang Tianpeng gestured with a wave of his hand.

"I’m not fit for it. I’m under close watch by Qi Guochang, and if I take this seat, I’m afraid I’ll be hindered by him at every turn."

Upon hearing Yang Tianpeng’s words, everyone felt a shiver in their hearts.

Indeed.

Behind Zhou Yu was Qi Guochang, and whoever took this position would have to go against him.

It was not a seat just anybody could fill.

If things went poorly, it could very well mean the ruin of one’s own family.

With this thought in mind, everyone fell into silence.

Seeing that no one spoke up, Yang Tianpeng smiled and said:

"In fact, this seat is not for just anybody, which I’m sure you all understand."

"Therefore, I think the Heavenly Master is most suited for this position."

"How do you all feel about this?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhaoxuan of the Lin Family in Capital City quickly agreed:

"I support Mr. Yang’s suggestion."

As he spoke, he even offered a flattering smile to Yang Tianpeng.

Liu Zongsen naturally supported the notion with all his might.

Seeing this, Gao Yingxiang had no choice but to agree as well.

With most of the people already expressing their support, the second gentleman was very pleased, as Yang Tianpeng’s action aligned with his own intentions.

"Since nobody objects, when the Heavenly Master returns, I will report this matter to him," said the second gentleman as soon as he finished speaking.

Bang!

A loud noise.

The door to the conference room was kicked open.

Immediately after, Zhou Yu swaggered in.

Seeing Zhou Yu’s arrival, Xun Zheng felt both nervous and excited.

He had not expected Zhou Yu would actually come.

The second gentleman’s face showed surprise, then he angrily shouted:

"Zhou Yu!!"

"How did you find this place?"

Zhou Yu’s face was filled with scorn.

"I came to see what kind of game this stinking group of you is playing."

Saying this, Zhou Yu turned to look at Yang Tianpeng.

"Punishment Hall special envoy, wasn’t the last face-slapping enough for you? What, are you offering yourself up for another beating?"

"Zhou Yu, you’re being outrageous!"

Yang Tianpeng gritted his teeth in anger.

He was a special envoy of the Punishment Hall, after all, and had been respected everywhere he went outside of Capital City.

Yet in front of Zhou Yu, he repeatedly faced setbacks and mockery.

If it weren’t for Qi Guochang insisting on backing Zhou Yu, he would have loved nothing more than to grind Zhou Yu into dust.

In his anger, Yang Tianpeng suddenly noticed that Zhou Yu was alone.

He sneered then and there.

"Zhou Yu, you dare to come here alone to seek death."

"Today, I’ll cripple you."

As Yang Tianpeng’s words fell, he was about to make a move, but at that moment, a cold snort came from behind Zhou Yu.

"Yang Tianpeng, if you want to fight, I’m here to accompany you," the voice declared.

Upon the voice’s conclusion, Yang Shiwu appeared beside Zhou Yu.

Yang Tianpeng halted in his tracks, his eyes then blazing with fury.

It was Yang Shiwu again.

Yang Shiwu was not weaker than him; a real fight would leave the outcome uncertain.

If Zhou Yu joined in, the two of them against one, he might indeed suffer injury.

Thinking this, Yang Tianpeng had no choice but to step back.

The other people present were also frightened into paleness.

They had their own worries.

With Yang Tianpeng being the highest in cultivation there, if he got embroiled with Zhou Yu, what could they use to defend themselves if Zhou Yu turned on them?

Perspiration broke out on Liu Zongsen’s forehead.

If he’d known, he would have brought someone from the Liu Family Saint Realm with him today.

Now, it was too late for regret.

His only hope was that Zhou Yu wouldn’t notice him.

The others mostly had the same thought.

Zhou Yu saw everyone’s reactions and calmly walked up to the conference table, pulled out a chair to sit down, and then casually placed his legs on the table.

"Weren’t you all eager to join forces against me?"

"Now I’m here. You may take your shots."

All present remained silent; they didn’t even dare to meet Zhou Yu’s gaze and lowered their heads one after another.

Zhou Yu’s eyes swept over each person and finally landed on Lin Zhaoxuan.

Feeling a murderous intent, Lin Zhaoxuan’s face changed color.

"Zhou Yu, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Yu said with a cold smile:

"Lin Zhaoxuan, I was intending to spare you because you’re the brother of Lin Chaodong, but you couldn’t wait to court death."

"Now that you have asked for it, I shall accommodate you."

Lin Zhaoxuan’s pupils constricted, and he angrily retorted:

"You dare."

"My Lin Family has already joined forces with the Letian Association, and Mr. Xun Zheng can attest to that. If you lay a hand on me, you’re not giving Mr. Xun face, and it’s like slapping the Letian Association in the face."

In a critical moment, Lin Zhaoxuan invoked the Letian Association’s name to intimidate Zhou Yu.

At that point, Xun Zheng stood up and said mockingly:

"Lin Zhaoxuan, does your Lin Family think it’s worthy to cooperate with me?"

Lin Zhaoxuan was stunned.

"Mr. Xun, what... what do you mean?"

Xun Zheng sneered:

"If it weren’t for Mr. Zhou asking me to spare you, I would have eradicated your Lin Family long ago."

With that statement, everyone was flabbergasted.

Wasn’t Xun Zheng a member of the Letian Association? Why was he siding with Zhou Yu?

The second gentleman’s expression darkened.

"Xun Zheng, what are you talking about?"

Xun Zheng did not hide any longer, chuckling coldly as he walked over to stand beside Zhou Yu.

"Second gentleman, I have already sworn my allegiance to Mr. Zhou," he declared.

"During this time, I have severed the business I was responsible for from the Letian Association. From now on, I only obey Mr. Zhou’s orders."
