g to the ground."You're all backwards, you believe me or I'll destroy you..."Zhang Haibin flew into a rage, reaching for his gun at his waist. But before he could draw it, Ye Bufan slapped him hard ac...Looking back together, we saw hundreds of people walking up from the foot of the mountain. They were the people from the Changsun family, the Dongfang family, and the Sima family.

Unlike the Murong family, these three families stood together, with a young man at the forefront. Beside him stood a dozen women, each with alluring postures, one more beautiful than the next.

And the heads of the three great families stood in secondary positions, clearly deferring to this young man.

And that young man had a carefree look on his face, still holding a stalk of dogtail grass in his hand and swinging it about. He didn't seem like he was there to attend the aristocratic gathering, but rather like he was out for a stroll in the mountains and by the water.

Now everyone was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on.

It's understandable that the three prominent families would band together, but who is this young man What makes him so deserving of their respect

Murong He stood beside Murong Chenglong, pointing at the three major families with gritted teeth and said, "Grandfather, that boy is Ye Bufan."

Murong Chenglong's gaze swept across the room with a cold intensity, and a powerful aura of killing intent suddenly emanated from his body.

Those around felt the killing intent, each one trembling with fear, silent as death.

Murong Chengdu waved his hand. "Let's not act rashly for now, the overall situation is important. We'll settle accounts with that boy later."

Murong Cholong snorted coldly and retracted the aura from his body.

After the three great families were in position, Murong Chengdu jumped gracefully onto the nearby prepared platform.

"When the time comes, the conference will begin." He scanned the audience below with an arrogant expression. "Today's theme of the family conference is only one: from today onwards, the Imperial Capital shall be ruled by our Murong Family. Those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish."

After that, there were no more so-called Four Great Families in the imperial court, only the Murong family.

"Other clans will be ranked, who are first-rate and who are second-rate, entirely according to the pronouncements of our Murong clan."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gasp of surprise rippled through the audience.

Although everyone had expected the Murong family to aim for becoming a super family this time, they didn't expect them to be so domineering in their actions.

Ye Bufan showed a playful smile. The Murong family was truly arrogant, even daring to say "Those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish." They really thought that having a Saint-ranked warrior would make them invincible.

Murong Chengdu gave no one a chance to discuss, continuing on the stage: "Now, those who are willing to submit to the Murong family stand on the left, and those who are unwilling stand on the right."

After he finished speaking, the scene fell silent. Many patriarchs of prominent families felt quite conflicted in their hearts.

The way the Murong family operates is too domineering, exceeding their expectations.

Secondly, the three major clans are still there, many of them being vassal clans of the three major clans. Now siding with the Murong family is tantamount to openly betraying them.

If the Murong family completely defeats the three major clans, it would be understandable. But now that there has not been a formal battle yet, making a wrong choice to take sides will inevitably lead to a catastrophic outcome.

“I am willing to submit to the Murong family.”

At this moment, a voice rang out first. Stepping forward was the head of the Zhong family, Zhong Baichun. He directly led the Zhong family members to stand on the left side of the platform.

Zhong Guqiang followed closely behind Zhong Baichun, his gaze provocatively fixed on the three great families.

Ye Bufan smiled faintly. He didn't expect the Zhong family to be the first to stand up and take the lead. He wondered what the father and son would react like later.

Zhong Baichun bowed to Murong Chengdu on the platform, then said to the people from other families: "Everyone, what else is there to hesitate about A wise man knows the times. We need to see the situation clearly."

The head of the Murong clan rules over the imperial capital. This is an inevitable trend, unstoppable. Everyone, come with me, Zhong, quickly!

"Zhong Baichun, have you thought about the consequences"

Oriental Jianye's expression darkened. Now the Zhong family was a vassal family of their Oriental family. Although he had been mentally prepared, seeing the first one stand up and betray them made his face rather unsightly.

Zhong Baichun gave a cold smile: "Eastern Jianye, now the Murong family dominates the imperial capital. Your Eastern family either submits or perishes, there is no further opportunity to be arrogant."

Murong Chengdu let out a hearty laugh: "Patriarch Zhong is right, today all the major families are like this, either submit or be destroyed. Make your choice quickly."

All the small and medium-sized families present were watching from the sidelines. With the Zhong family taking the lead, others no longer hesitated and came to stand on the left side of the high platform, siding with the Murong family.

On Ye Bufan's side, he did not take any action to obstruct as per the previous agreement. He just wanted to see the stance of these aristocratic families.

Just as strong winds identify hardy grasses, and adversity reveals true feelings, only in times of difficulty can one see who is truly loyal to themselves.

In a short time, the many prominent families in the audience divided into two camps: one chose to side with the Murong family, and the other with the three great families.

But now it seems that the power of the three major families appears to be much smaller, with the vast majority choosing the Murong family.

Ye Bufan's expression didn't change much. True loyalty has always been a minority, and this result wasn't out of his expectations.

Seeing this scene, Murong Chengdu looked smug and said to the three major families: "Changsun Cangsong, Dongfang Jianye, Sima Pingcuo, for the sake of being former members of the Four Great Families of the Imperial Capital, I'll give you another chance. "

Submit to the Murong family, and at least you can remain a mid-level aristocratic family in the capital. If you persist in your obstinacy, then your clan will cease to exist.

"I'll give you one minute to make your decision. Seize the opportunity, or you'll regret it later."

Ye Bufan smiled faintly: "Murong Chengdu, I'll give your Murong family another chance. Now, apologize and scurry back to where you came from. Otherwise, I'll have your name removed from the imperial capital."

"Who is this kid He's so arrogant, doesn't he see that the Murong family has a Martial Saint"

"Young people are really fearless and bold, they dare to say anything."

"What's going on with the Three Great Families To let such a young man provoke the Murong Family, didn't they consider the consequences"

"You're still wet behind the ears, do you think you have a say here" Murong Chengdu looked at the three great families. "You old ghosts, are you just going to let this brat run wild here"

Changsun Cangsong spoke first, "Today's matters concerning the Changsun family, Xiaofan can make all the decisions."

"My Eastern family is like this too..."

"And me, Sima family, Xiao Fan's words are my meaning..."

The heads of the three great families all stood up to support Ye Bufan at the same time, which shocked everyone present.

Aren't these heads of families crazy Letting a young man make decisions for the three major clans, what is going on

Even if someone knew Ye Bufan, they would still be incredibly shocked. After all, he was just an adopted grandson of the Changsun family. Even if he had earned their trust, what about the other two powerful families What reason would they have to trust a young man so completely

Murong Chengdu's expression changed slightly, and he was also a little confused about the situation.

Having lived in the imperial capital for so many years, he naturally understood that the other three family heads were not rash people. Today was a day that concerned the survival of their families, how could they so easily hand over such power to a young man in his twenties

But since the other party had already spoken, he couldn't say much more. He could only look at Ye Bufan again: "Boy, just say it, how do you choose"

In this instant, all eyes converged upon him. Everyone understood that this young man's words would reshape the landscape of the Imperial Capital for decades to come.on Sect Are they not afraid of the headmaster's revengeAt this very moment, Ye Bufan's gaze shifted to him.Wuji, seeing the situation was amiss, turned and ran.
