Chapter 113: Who
"What?! Yang Yu? Personal friendship??"
Wei Chuan and Jiang Jianda nearly dropped their jaws.
They had subconsciously assumed that Lu Xiuyuan came to attend the banquet mainly to give the Bai family face.
After all, they were bound to run into each other eventually.
Never did they expect that Lu Xiuyuan and Yang Yu had a personal friendship!
And in an occasion like this, for Lu Xiuyuan to specifically emphasize "personal friendship," it was definitely no ordinary connection.
"Of course, two Elders, rest assured; our Baibao Pavilion has always been neutral."
Lu Xiuyuan said with a chuckle.
Don't ask, if you ask, the answer is neutrality!
Ever since he met Yang Yu, he felt his own skin had grown thicker and thicker.
To take a step back, Yang Yu had promised to appraise treasures for the Baibao Pavilion indefinitely.
For the sake of this promise, Lu Xiuyuan could not allow anything to happen to Yang Yu.
"Huhu..."
Wei Chuan and Jiang Jianda gasped for air, shocked, angry, and fearful all at once.
The development of events had completely exceeded their expectations.
Initially, they had only used "declaring war" as a threat to make the Bai family compensate for the treasure blade.
They never expected to flush out so many big shots all at once.
That's right, the Dragon King said the Imperial Clan wouldn't intervene, and the Pavilion Master also said he was neutral.
But did the Tianxiang Sect dare to gamble?
What the Tianxiang Sect had to face was not just Yang Yu and the Bai family.
It was the top-tier Southern Region Bai family, the second-tier Shao family, the Southern Region's number one Alchemist, the Dragon King who held military power, and Lu Xiuyuan, the number one person in the Southern Region's business world.
If the Tianxiang Sect wanted to fight to the death with any one of them, they would have to hold a full sect meeting and carefully weigh the cost.
Dealing with so many at once? It would be better to just disband the sect and save themselves from being wiped out...
"How about..."
The two Elders looked at each other again, thinking the same thing.
In this situation, they absolutely could not continue to butt heads with the Bai family.
The sect's dignity?
Face was no longer important!
"Cough, cough, haha..." Wei Chuan suddenly changed his expression, his old face piling up into a warm smile as he said, "Look at this mess, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."
Jiang Jianda also smiled brilliantly: "That's right, that's right, the two of us were just joking earlier. What compensation? How could we possibly want compensation? The treasure blade was stolen by Tang Linyuan; if anyone is to compensate, it should be Tang Linyuan, hahaha..."
The guests at the scene also let out sighs of relief and laughed: Forget it, these two Elders have chickened out; this farce is over.
Everyone believed that the Bai family had already won.
The two Elders had backed down, and the Tianxiang Sect Elders had lost face.
The Bai family had won the face and won the reputation.
Struggles between major powers basically ended at a point of moderation; as long as there was a statement, it was enough.
However...
Yang Yu raised an eyebrow and said: "Joking? Who's joking with you?"
"What do you mean?"
Wei Chuan's smile froze.
Yang Yu sneered: "Whether you were joking or not is unimportant. I and the Bai family have already declared war on the Tianxiang Sect!"
"Are you crazy?"
Wei Chuan widened his eyes.
He had already backed down, what more did he want?
If both sides really fought to the death, it would be good for no one.
That's right, the Bai family had so many helpers, they could win.
But they would also pay a price, and many people would die.
Anyone with a shred of rationality would know when to quit while they were ahead.
"Whoa, young people are indeed young people."
"The Tianxiang Sect has run into a ruthless person this time."
"One doesn't fear a smart enemy, one fears a crazy one."
"Looking at Yang Yu's intent, he's not joking."
The crowd exclaimed in amazement.
Wei Chuan gritted his teeth and said: "Yang Yu, you are merely the Bai family's son-in-law; you have no right to make decisions for the Bai family! Whether to declare war or not is not for you alone to decide."
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Sheng said loudly: "Yang Yu's intent is my intent!"
The other numerous members of the Bai family also shouted in unison:
"We unconditionally support Yang Yu's decision!"
"The Young Master's intent is our intent!"
"The Bai family and the Tianxiang Sect have already declared war!"
"Spilled water cannot be gathered; now that the words are out, do you still want to take them back?"
For a time, the shouts echoed through the sky.
Ever since these Bai family members had blood-washed the Ximen family with Yang Yu, they had been completely convinced by him.
Even Yang Yu's words were more effective than the Family Head's.
The Tianxiang Sect is strong? How much stronger could they be than the Ximen family!
"Th-this..."
Wei Chuan and Jiang Jianda were both terrified.
They could never have imagined in their dreams why a top-tier Southern Region family would support such a crazy decision.
Could it be that Yang Yu was so worthy of trust?
No matter what, he was only at the Spirit Sea Realm...
Even Bai Sheng had gone crazy.
This steady old Family Head was actually willing to go crazy along with Yang Yu.
"Y-you... you are simply beyond saving! Fine, fine, fine, if you want war, then war it is! My Tianxiang Sect is not one to fear trouble!"
Finally, Wei Chuan and Jiang Jianda stopped hesitating, their faces both revealing ruthless expressions.
Since both sides had to determine who would survive, then let's fight!
The Bai family's allies might not necessarily help them with all their hearts when the time came.
And if the Tianxiang Sect fought with all their might, it was not impossible for them to have a chance of winning. Even if they couldn't win, they would make the Bai family pay a heavy price!
Let no one have an easy time!
"Hmph, Family Head Bai, Yang Yu, let's wait and see!"
Wei Chuan and Jiang Jianda cupped their fists at Bai Sheng and whistled at the same time.
A Swift Wind Eagle flew over rapidly.
The two intended to retreat.
They had to go back as soon as possible, pass the news back, and discuss the next step of the plan with the sect's high-level officials.
But unexpectedly!
As the sect's Swift Wind Eagle flew over, Yang Yu suddenly drew his sword and slashed at the air.
Chirp!
A long, narrow sword Qi slashed straight onto the Swift Wind Eagle.
The massive Swift Wind Eagle was slashed in two on the spot and fell to the ground.
"Y-you, what do you mean?"
The two Elders asked angrily.
Yang Yu mocked: "Are you two okay? Since the Bai family and the Tianxiang Sect have already declared full-scale war, you still want to just walk away?"
"What?!"
The two were shocked and pale.
The other guests also gasped, thinking to themselves:
Is this Yang Yu going to kill the two Elders directly?
This... seems a bit too ruthless.
Ruthless to the point of being unprincipled.
Since the two major powers had declared war from this moment on, a full-scale, thorough, and public war at that, then these two Elders were equivalent to envoys.
Not killing envoys was considered an unwritten rule.
After all, someone always had to be responsible for negotiations and passing messages.
But Yang Yu... doesn't seem to care about this unwritten rule?
"Where are the Bai family warriors? Kill!" Yang Yu shouted, confirming everyone's guess.
Wei Chuan and Jiang Jianda's hearts trembled wildly:
"You madman, this is rebellion!"
"You have no principles!"
"We are envoys!"
"You cannot kill us!"
The two screamed.
The Tianxiang Sect is very strong.
But this is the Bai family, how could the two of them combined be a match for the entire Bai family?
"Principles? To hell with principles when dealing with enemies! Kill!"
Yang Yu waved his arm.
The many warriors of the Bai family hesitated for a moment, but still followed orders.
Although in their concepts, killing envoys was not very appropriate.
But since Yang Yu had said so...
Killing is the right thing to do!
Killing these two Tianxiang Sect Elders this time would mean fewer Bai family members would have to sacrifice themselves in the future.
"Ah ah ah, Yang Yu, you will die a horrible death!"
"You have broken the rules, you will become a sinner for all ages!"
Wei Chuan and Jiang Jianda let out resentful cries... ===== CHAPTER 114 =====
