Great Xia: At the start, summon the Net of Heaven to suppress the martial arts world.

"That's good! Cai Zhiquan intended to murder a high-ranking official of the court. Handing him over to the Zhenwu Division is something my Cai family has no objection to!"

"As for the 15 million taels of silver, consider it an apology from the Cai family to His Highness Prince Xuan!"

After the old clan chief finished speaking, he seemed to age even more.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyaozi looked at the old man in front of him with a solemn expression.

He secretly admired how efficient and decisive he was.

"In that case, I shall take my leave."

"We hope that the old clan chief will keep his word!"

"Deliver one person and one item to my Zhenwu Division office within three days!"

"I hope you can rest assured!" The old patriarch nodded to Xiaoyaozi and earnestly agreed.

After seeing his statement, Xiaoyaozi nodded in satisfaction, turned and left the Cai residence, heading towards the Wang family!

The Cai and Wang families lived a great distance apart, a full three hundred li apart!

Even at Xiaoyaozi's leisurely pace, the journey took him almost an hour!

At dusk, the autumn sun gradually began to set in the west, its afterglow casting a golden hue upon the ancestral land of the Wang family, adding to the magnificent mansion!

Within the ancestral land, people came and went, and the Wang clan members, who had been busy all day, were gradually returning to their residences.

The matter concerning the Wang clan elders seemed to have never happened, and the entire ancestral land remained filled with joy.

Inside the ancestral land, in an even more magnificent hall.

The Wang family leaders, like the Cai family, were discussing the aftermath of the assassination attempt!

"Hmph! It's all Wang Hui's fault for believing the Cai family's lies, which has put the family in such a passive position!"

"What are we going to do now? The clan elder is still hanging on the flagpole at the entrance of the Zhenwu Division!"

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent.

This matter was like a disgrace, deeply etched on the Wang family's pillar of shame.

Everyone was trying to avoid the issue, but now that the shameful truth has been laid bare before them, they have no choice but to confront it!

"How about I show you the way?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out in the hall!

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled and headed in the direction of the sound.

A middle-aged man was seen looking at the Wang family with a smile!

Everyone frowned upon seeing this, as they had no idea when this person had appeared there.

Realizing this, they immediately surrounded Xiaoyaozi as if facing a formidable enemy.

"It seems the Wang family's hospitality isn't as good as the Cai family's!"

Xiaoyaozi ignored the crowd surrounding him and jokingly addressed them.

"May I ask who you are, and what brings you to the Wang family?"

The Wang clan patriarch approached Xiaoyaozi cautiously, as if facing a formidable enemy, and inquired:

"Xiaoyaozi, the deputy director of the Zhenwu Division, has come to the Wang family to collect a debt!"

When asked by the Wang clan chief, Xiaoyaozi had no choice but to introduce himself again!

"Debt collection?"

"The Zhenwu Division crippled my Wang clan elders, yet they still dare to come to our door to collect debts!"

"You're being far too arrogant!"

Before the Wang clan patriarch could speak, one of the people in the hall couldn't help but ask a question.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyaozi frowned and looked at the speaker with disgust.

He then stretched out his arm, channeling his inner energy, and a suction force burst forth from his hand. In the blink of an eye, the person who had spoken was pulled into Xiaoyaozi's hand.

Xiaoyaozi, holding the man by the neck, looked at the struggling figure and sneered:

"Ugly, incompetent, and rude! He deserves to die!"

Without giving anyone a chance to react, he increased the force in his hand and crushed the man's throat in one fell swoop.

Only corpses with their eyes wide open in death remained on the ground!

Looking at his kinsmen who had died in front of him, the Wang clan chief stared at the scene with disbelief in his eyes!

A grandmaster-level expert was utterly powerless against this person, crushed as easily as an ant.

Just how powerful is this person? The Wang clan patriarch is filled with apprehension towards Xiaoyaozi.

Although the Wang clan patriarch was strong enough to kill this person, he could not do it as easily as Xiaoyaozi!

Seeing the elder of the clan die before them, everyone took a step back in fear, completely losing their previous arrogance!

Grandmasters can be easily crushed, so what are these people?

Seeing this, Xiaoyaozi felt even more disdain.

"A family without guts is doomed to fail!"

Hearing Xiaoyaozi's mockery, everyone's expressions turned even uglier.

It’s so deceiving!

"What is the purpose of your visit, Your Excellency? We would appreciate it if you would speak plainly!"

The Wang clan patriarch realized that he couldn't let Xiaoyaozi continue like this, and immediately asked:

"What do you want?"

"It's easy!"

"Wang Hui, Minister of Justice!"

"Twenty million taels of silver!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately forgot about Xiaoyaozi's intimidation and began to make a ruckus.

"impossible!"

"You have gone too far!"

"We, the Wang family, will not agree to either of these conditions!"

"At worst, we'll all fight to the death!"

Sure enough, when it came to their own vital interests, they all overcame the fear of life and death!

"Your request is indeed somewhat unreasonable!"

The Wang clan patriarch was now in a difficult position.

Whether to agree or not is a dilemma. If I agree, my clan will definitely not agree. If I don't agree, I am no match for the person in front of me!

"Hmph!" Xiaoyaozi immediately became impatient and had no patience to continue arguing with the Wang clan members!

"Two options: either hand over the people and the money, or borrow your heads for my own use!"

Upon hearing this, the Wang clan patriarch's face darkened, and he felt a growing anxiety.

At that moment, an aged voice rang out.

"Your Excellency's killing intent is far too strong!"

Upon seeing this, Xiaoyaozi immediately understood and sighed inwardly that among the four great families, each family indeed had a Grandmaster at the peak of the realm!

"The old patriarch of the Wang family?"

Upon seeing this person, Xiaoyaozi asked in confusion.

"It seems you have already met the previous patriarch of the Cai clan!"

"May I ask, Your Excellency, what is the Cai family's choice this time?"

The old man's calm, unwavering eyes stared directly at Xiaoyaozi, without giving the rest of the Wang family a second glance.

"The Cai family is pragmatic; they're handing over the people and the money!"

The old man nodded, having no doubt about what Xiaoyaozi said.

"I wonder what choice the Wang family should make?"

Upon hearing this, the old man sighed, glanced helplessly at the Wang family members, and replied indifferently:

"The Wang family also wanted to settle things peacefully, just like the Cai family!"

"But as you said, a family without guts is destined not to go far."

"I cannot stand idly by and watch you kill people on my ancestral land!"

"Otherwise, the family will fall into disarray! I hope you will understand!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyaozi looked at the old man in front of him with appreciation.

If the old man hadn't appeared this time, given Xiaoyaozi's intimidation and everyone's strength, they might not have dared to attack him!

At that time, the news will spread!

A man dressed in white robes stormed into the ancestral land of the Wang clan, killed an elder in front of everyone, and left triumphantly.

No one dared to stop them!

The Wang family's thousand-year reputation and honor will be destroyed here!
