Chapter 93 Critical
Zhou Tai took in everyone's expressions, and his face was full of loneliness.
For the flattery of these people, Zhou Tai is actually not interested. If it weren't for the fact that he had received the news that Ye Ye was not in Lingcheng before entering Lingcheng, I am afraid that he would have killed the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce to avenge Zhou Lan, and then left Lingcheng abruptly. Now the reason why he has time to receive all forces in Lingcheng is mainly because he is worried that Ye Ye will never return to Lingcheng after learning that he has appeared, so he plans to build momentum to force Ye Ye out.
The result was better than he imagined, not only the allies of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce abandoned the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce one after another, but even the Zheng family, who had already taken refuge in the Ye Industry, also asked himself for guilt at this time, obviously the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce would soon be unable to support it. Zhou Tai believed that Ye Ye would not sit idly by and ignore all this, and would eventually show up to fight with him, so he seemed not to be in a hurry at this time.
Everyone in the hall waited for a while, and the people who came to report just now came to the hall with Zheng Cheng and the others. Zheng Xu was already tied up with a rope at this time, and the injuries on his body had gradually deteriorated because he had not been treated.
But Zheng Cheng and the three didn't bother to pay attention to this matter, and when they came to the hall and saw Zhou Tai, they knelt down.
"Zheng Cheng, Zheng Gong, and Zheng Kaijie of the Zheng family meet Zhou Tai Gongzi! I wish Gongzi Wu Yun Changlong, conquer the world, and walk to the peak of the strongest!"
Zheng Cheng and the three of them bowed respectfully to Zhou Tai at the same time, with an extremely humble attitude. Although Zheng Xu was forcibly pushed to the ground by them, his back was always straight, and he swore not to kowtow to Zhou Tai.
"Get up, haven't you Zheng family always been loyal to the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce? Why did you come to me today to ask for your guilt?"
Zhou Tai said softly to Zheng Cheng and the others, but there was a hint of banter in his eyes when he looked at Zheng Xu, as if he was laughing at his insistence for being worthless.
"Back to Gongzi, the previous decision of the Zheng family to join the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce was all Zheng Xu's insistence, and we have always disagreed! This time Gongzi came to Lingcheng, we finally saw an opportunity to break away from the control of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce. I hope that Gongzi will give us a chance to atone for our sins, and our Zheng family will definitely look forward to Gongzi and never betray!"
After Zheng Gong got up, he stepped forward and respectfully expressed his surrender to Zhou Tai.
Their greatest hope is to take advantage of this to climb the high branches of Zhou Tai, and from then on soar to the top of the clouds, and at the very least, they must draw a clear line with the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce in front of Zhou Tai, so as not to affect the Zheng family when Zhou Tai destroys the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
In order to show their sincerity, Zheng Xu was identified as a victim by Zheng Cheng and the three from the beginning. Even if there has never been a conflict between them, Zheng Cheng and others also made this choice for their own future, not to mention that the gap between Zheng Xu and them is not small.
After Zheng Gong expressed his intention to Zhou Tai, the three of them immediately looked at Zhou Tai expectantly, hoping that he would forgive the Zheng family and even take them as his subordinates. And Zhou Tai also seemed to see their hopes, nodded and said to Zheng Cheng and the others: "You know that mistakes can be improved, and I, Zhou Tai, am not an unreasonable person." But you have also done a lot of things for the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce before, if there is no punishment at all, won't others think that I, Zhou Tai, am very easy to bully!"
Zheng Cheng's faces sank, and in the end, Zheng Kaijie asked Zhou Tai weakly: "Dare to ask Gongzi, what do you mean by punishment?"
Zhou Tai smiled strangely, pointed at Zheng Cheng, Zheng Gong, and Zheng Kaijie with his index finger in turn, and then said: "The three of you fight each other, and the last one who survives can not only get my forgiveness, but also become my follower and enter the Tongtian Gate with me to cultivate! Let's start now, we can all be a witness!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent!
Not only did Zheng Cheng and the three of them change their faces drastically, but even some of the people in the hall who originally wanted to win Zhou Tai's favor were also drenched in cold sweat at this time, and they almost couldn't help but leave here.
They all know Zhou Tai's background, and they also have the intention of using Zhou Tai to rise to the top this time, but Zhou Tai's vision is obviously higher than they imagined.
Seeing the chilling expressions on everyone's faces in the hall, Zhou Tai couldn't help sneering in his heart. The reason why he had such a proposal was to use Zheng Cheng and the others to remind the others in the hall not to have any deep friendship with him Zhou Tai, and not even to expect to become his Zhou Tai's subordinates, because they were not qualified at all.
As a core disciple of Tongtianmen, a genius martial sect ranked ninety-eighth on the Yuanlong List, Zhou Tai's vision was long beyond what these people could imagine. Regardless of their origin, those who want to become followers of his Zhou Tai must meet certain conditions. At this time, in Zhou Tai's opinion, no one in the hall had met his requirements, so he wanted to take this opportunity to let them have self-knowledge.
The atmosphere at the scene became extremely depressing because of his words, and just when Zheng Cheng and the three of them were about to be unbearable, Zhou Taicai laughed and said: "I'm joking, you don't have to take it seriously! Since you have tied Zheng Xu over, I will naturally not hold the Zheng family responsible." It's just that the three of you still need a chance to prove yourself, it just so happens that Ye Ye is not in Lingcheng now, and I don't know when he will appear, so the task of using Zheng Xu to force Ye Ye out will be handed over to you, I hope you won't let me down!"
Although Zhou Tai was sure that Ye Ye would return to Lingcheng, he didn't know when he would have to wait. In order to save his time, he intends to use some extraordinary means. It's just that considering the reputation of Tongtianmen, he will not do this kind of thing himself, but instruct Zheng Cheng and the others to complete it for him.
"Don't worry, Childe, after we retreat, we will immediately escort Zheng Xu to the door of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce, if Ye Ye does not appear within three days, we will kill Zheng Xu and deter the people of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce, and let them urge Ye Ye to appear as soon as possible!"
Zheng Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Zhou Tai's words, and hurriedly reassured Zhou Tai, for fear that Zhou Tai would make excessive demands again if he was a second late. Zheng Gong and Zheng Kaijie were also shocked, they no longer dared to have the idea of following Zhou Tai at this time, they just wanted to hide as far as they could after getting Zhou Tai's forgiveness.
"Well, I believe in your ability to do things, so let's step back and prepare now, and see your results in three days!"
Zhou Tai nodded at Zheng Cheng and the others, and the three of them immediately escorted Zheng Xu out of the hall of Lingyun Building.
It didn't take long for almost all the people in Lingcheng to know the news that Zheng Xu would be beheaded in three days, and they were all waiting eagerly for Ye Ye's return. However, Ye Ye was still staying in Yuanqi Mountain at this time, and not long after following Luo Fengcheng and Mo Ru into their secluded courtyard, Ye Ye asked Luo Fengcheng about the details of the powerhouses on the Yuanlong List.
"Dare to ask Your Excellency, how much do you know about Zhou Tai, who is ranked ninety-eighth on the Yuanlong List? ”
After a short conversation, Ye Ye found that Luo Fengcheng was more kind than he imagined, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of him. He briefly talked about his grievances with Zhou Tai, hoping that Luo Fengcheng could give him some advice.
But who knew that Luo Fengcheng's face became unprecedentedly solemn after listening to Ye Ye's words, he first sighed, and then slowly said to Ye Ye: "Although I don't know much about Zhou Tai, but with his ranking of the ninety-eighth on the Yuanlong List, I can almost conclude that you are by no means his opponent!"
Seeing that Ye Ye's face was also serious, he continued to patiently explain: "Although there are a total of two hundred people on the Yuanlong List, not the difference in strength between each ranking is the same. The hundredth to the last place on the Yuanlong list, although the difference in strength is relatively obvious, it is not insurmountable. Take me as an example, if I'm in good shape, it's not impossible to win against a strong player who is 23 places higher than me. If the state is not good, it may not be able to win against the last place in the Shangyuan Dragon List. ”
When Ye Ye heard this, his face showed a sudden look.
After defeating him and defeating Luo Fengcheng just now, although he felt that the other party was indeed much more powerful than the powerhouse who had just entered the Martial Sect, it was not as powerful as he imagined. Originally, Ye Ye thought that the powerhouses on the Yuanlong list were nothing more than that, but now after listening to Luo Fengcheng's explanation, he realized that the state of the battle had a great impact on a person's ranking.
When Luo Fengcheng was telling, not only Ye Ye, but even Mo Ru on the side listened to it with relish, with a look of surprise on his face. Because it was also the first time she heard Luo Fengcheng talk about the ranking of the Yuanlong List, at this time, she was like a child looking forward to an adult telling a story, sitting next to Luo Fengcheng and listening attentively.
Luo Fengcheng saw the two of them staring at him intently, so he continued to say to them: "This phenomenon is very common in the powerhouses after the top 100 of the Yuanlong List, but for the top 100 powerhouses of the Yuanlong List, this situation is relatively rare. Because almost all of the top 100 in the Yuanlong List are unfathomable masters, the gap between the different rankings is also quite large. That Zhou Tai was able to maintain the position of the ninety-eighth place on the Yuanlong List all the time, which in itself shows that he is not a trivial person. ”
"So, I suggest that you try to avoid fighting with him as much as possible! With the strength you just exerted, it is not a problem to enter the top one hundred and fifty on the Yuanlong List, but compared to the top one hundred powerhouses, it is still too far behind!"
After Luo Fengcheng finished speaking, he sighed and persuaded Ye Ye, hoping that he would retreat after understanding Zhou Tai's strength, so as not to put himself in a dangerous situation.
Although Ye Ye did feel a trace of pressure after listening to Luo Fengcheng's explanation, he did not stop because of this, and the battle intent in his eyes did not fade in the slightest.
"Thank you, no matter what I choose in the end, your information is an important reference!
After Ye Ye got up and arched his hand at Luo Fengcheng and Mo Ru, he turned around and went down the mountain and left here.
