"Whoa! What''s going on here?" Nameless, upon reaching the doorway and seeing the crowd of people, was instantly dumbfounded.
Seeing that something was off, Nameless turned around and dashed away; he wouldn''t help Zhang Yun deal with this mess.
"What''s going on?" Zhang Yun was about to head straight in, but upon seeing the congested entrance, he was left speechless.
"What are you all doing? Make way." Seeing the situation, Elder Zhang of the Zhang Family quickly shouted loudly.
"It''s Elder Zhang Yishan from the Zhang Family, these must be people from the Zhang Family, right?"
"Quick, let''s go, this is a great opportunity to curry favor with the Zhang Family."
"Damn it! I''m going first; no one else better fight me for it."
With Zhang Yishan''s shout, instead of backing off, those people became even more excited, rushing forward with the gifts they had painstakingly prepared for the Zhang Family.
"Everyone, move aside!" Seeing the people getting even more excited and rushing forward, Zhang Yishan frowned and pulled out a piece of talisman paper.
As this talisman paper took effect, a bolt of lightning appeared in Zhang Yishan''s hand.
The guy who was initially so smug thinking he''d gotten ahead never expected to be greeted by a strike of lightning.
In bewilderment, he was struck by the bolt and sent flying.
"Damn! The Zhang Family really is something, that Thunder Technique is badass!"
"Move aside, all of you, I don''t want to get hit by lightning."
"If you idiots want to die, do it yourself, don''t drag me down with you, you damn bastards!"
Witnessing the power of the lightning, the crowd retreated one after another, cursing as they put some distance between themselves and the Zhang Family.
"Tsk! Is this the prestige of the Zhang Family?" Ye Feng asked with a smile upon seeing the scene.
"I must apologize to Patriarch Ye for the spectacle," Zhang Yun replied, feeling a bit exasperated.
Once the crowd dispersed, Ye Feng and the others finally made their way into the banquet hall, arriving at the central position.
"Elder Zhang!"
"Elder Zhang!"
As Ye Feng and the others arrived at the central position, people nearby eagerly ttered the Zhang Family elder.
Originally, they thought being so far away, they wouldn''t have any chance.
But unexpectedly, as the scene shifted, a chance appeared, bringing joy to their hearts.
"Ladies and gentlemen! This is our newly appointed patriarch of the Zhang Family, Zhang Yun." Hearing the ttering words of the crowd, Zhang Yishan nodded and introduced Zhang Yun beside him.
"What? He''s the new patriarch of the Zhang Family, Zhang Yun? How can he be this young?"
"Indeed, how impressive for someone so young! Since he''s be patriarch, doesn''t it mean he''s even more formidable than his father?"
"So young, surely unmarried! If only I had brought my daughter, maybe we could have formed a marital alliance with the Zhang Family."
Upon hearing Zhang Yishan''s words, the crowd was left stunned.
In shock, they were a bit regretful, thinking had they known they were meeting such a young patriarch, they would have brought more beauties.
"Patriarch Zhang, I''m Yin Feng from the Yin Family. It''s a pleasure to meet you; please ept this small token of appreciation."
"Patriarch Zhang, I''m Yu Tian from the Yu Family; this is a small gift our family has prepared for you. We hope you like it."
"Patriarch Zhang..."<fn8643> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n FindN()vel</fn8643>
Simultaneously, the various patriarchs, realizing the situation, rushed forward with their gifts, hoping to win Zhang Yun''s favor.
Seeing so many gifts, all incredibly valuable, Zhang Yun was at a loss, and Zhang Yishan was a bit bewildered.
Zhang Yun didn''t want them; he didn''t want to owe anyone favors.
Zhang Yishan was wondering if he''d missed out on billions these past years.
If only he had known how effective the Zhang Family''s name was, wouldn''t visiting every month be great?
Even if the gifts each month weren''t asvish as this time, they''d still be quite impressive!
Of course, he just entertained the thought.
Because he knew, if Zhang Yun found out about such actions, he would surely be severely punished, making it not worth it.
"Everyone, please take back your gifts! I invited you here not to receive gifts." At this time, Zhang Yun spoke up, refusing.
"Ah? Not even epting gifts?" The people hoping to win Zhang Yun over with gifts felt disappointed upon hearing his words.
"Everyone, please disperse; there''s no need to crowd here. I will not ept your gifts." Seeing their reluctance, Zhang Yun spoke earnestly.
Seeing Zhang Yun''s firm stance, the crowd reluctantly gave up.
"This Zhang Family from Dragon Tiger Mountain truly has enormous influence here in Xixiang." Seeing this, Ye Feng marveled.
Given this situation, even revealing the identity of Patriarch Ye might not be as effective as the identity of Patriarch Zhang.
"Indeed, the Zhang Family from Dragon Tiger Mountain has been the most powerful family around here. Just invoking the name of Celestial Master Zhang was enough to shake all of Changhu, the influence was enormous, though they''ve declined a bit now." Situ Jing nodded, responding truthfully.
"No wonder they''re so obedient." Ye Feng nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Zhang Yun took a list and started calling out names: "Next, the families I call out, pleasee before me."
"What''s this about? Is the Zhang Family here in Xixiang looking for representatives?"
"It''s possible; the families whose names are called might be the ones protected by the Zhang Family. I wonder if my family will have such an honor."
"Damn! If the Zhang Family has your back, won''t you be unstoppable in Changhu?"
With Zhang Yun''s words, many family heads were filled with hope, eagerly watching him, wishing they could appear on the list.
They thought that being named would mean receiving the Zhang Family''s protection, bing a formidable presence in Changhu.
"The Li Family of Xixiang, Patriarch Li Xing." At this moment, Zhang Yun announced the first name.
Upon hearing Zhang Yun''s voice, a middle-aged man in a corner shuddered; he was Li Xing.
"Damn! Patriarch Li, you did it! You managed to get in with the Zhang Family? Don''t forget about us in the future!"
"Congrattions, Patriarch Li, who would have thought your Li Family would be the Zhang Family''s representative, you''re going ces!"
"Old Li, you''re something! Such good fortune found you, truly amazing!"
As Li Xing shuddered, those around him stared with envy, jealousy, and congrattions.
"Hurry up! What are you waiting for?" Seeing Li Xing standing dazed, those around him quickly pushed him forward.
They thought the Li Family, represented by Li Xing, was about to have a stroke of luck.
"Huang Ling of the Huang Family, Sun Yi of the Sun Family..." Following Li Xing stepping forward, Zhang Yun announced more names.
"Old Huang! Congrattions! Remember us in the future!"
"Damn! Old Sun, how did you manage to form ties with the Zhang Family?"
"Envy, jealousy, hate!"
Hearing these names, their acquaintances congratted them.
But, only those whose names were called felt a growing unease.
They knew all too well that their names being called together wouldn''t lead to good oues.
Indeed, these were the people who had previously gathered to collectively deal with Fengxue Jewelry.
At this moment, despite their fear, they had to muster the courage to stand before Zhang Yun.
As they all stepped forward, Ye Feng, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened them: ''I''ve been waiting for you all for a long time; are you ready to face my wrath? You scum who stoop to any level.''
If these people had engaged in fairpetition, Ye Feng might not have been so angry.
But, to achieve their goals, they used despicable means, disregarding the lives of others; don''t these scoundrels deserve to die?
