Looking at Bi Sheng's angry face, the Zhao Household felt a surge of anger rising within them, but they couldn't vent it.
Although they did it on purpose, wasn't it a bit too much for Chen Shuangbai to be so disrespectful?
Unable to withstand the oppressive power of Bi Qi Refinement Fourth Layer Bi Sheng cultivator, the mortal servants all knelt on the ground, their faces bleeding.
Seeing that things were not going well, Zhao Yongkun, the third master of the Zhao Household, who was in charge, knew that he could not do anything to the main and side gates, so he wanted to dampen Chen Shuangbai's spirit.
He hurriedly stepped forward, trying to smooth things over.
At that moment, Chen Shuangbai waved his sleeve, and a cold Cold Wind blew in, smashing open the main gate of the Zhao Household with a loud bang.
The Zhao Household present were all dumbfounded.
Zhao Yongkun's anger flared up instantly, and he opened his mouth to question him.
Chen Shuangbai coldly asked, "What? Is the Zhao Household planning to betray the country?"
One sentence, like cold water, extinguished Zhao Yongkun's anger.
As long as the Zhao Household intends to establish themselves in the territory of the Jing Kingdom, this statement will remain unavoidable.
Zhao Yongkun's expression changed repeatedly. He knew that Chen Shuangbai in coming here was not good, but he could not find any excuse and could only swallow his anger.
But just when he was about to back down...
Chen Shuangbai had already entered through the main entrance.
Zhao Yongkun's face immediately darkened further.
Not long after.
The main hall of the Zhao Household.
Zhao Yongkun and Zhao Yongkuan Zhao Household, greeted Chen Shuangbai with smiles, but Chen Shuangbai had no patience to play along with them.
The young man sat in the main seat, looking at the two heads of the Zhao Household. "I'll only give you the time it takes for Golden Seal of Guardianship, otherwise... hehe, the Zhao Household can prepare for annihilation."
Although Zhao Yongkuan had been prepared, he still did not expect Chen Shuangbai to be so direct.
He wanted to change the subject and try to use veiled language again.
But Chen Shuangbai sneered and took out a talisman from her Storage Bag.
In an instant, every member of the Zhao Household in the main hall paled, feeling their hearts sink to the bottom and a chill creeping up their necks.
That was a sword talisman.
It carries the sword Sword Intent who has just reached the Foundation Establishment.
The Zhao Household is indeed arrogant, but they are still Qi Refining Lineage. They haven't produced Foundation Establishment cultivator for generations, so how could they dare to directly face the Sword Intent of a Foundation Establishment cultivator?!
Cold sweat broke out on my back and forehead, dripping down my face.
Zhao Yongkuan and Zhao Yongkun were both at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, so they could withstand some of the pressure. However, the other Zhao Household were at a slightly lower level, or who were simply mortals, had already collapsed to the ground under the pressure of this Foundation Establishment cultivator, their faces pale and gasping for breath.
Chen Shuangbai coldly looked at them and gave instructions to Bi Sheng, who was standing to the side.
"Looking for someone."
Bi Sheng was followed by eight other people, all from poor families, who had been trained as martial artists by the Spring-Venerating Daoist Academy because of their good physique.
He is responsible for guarding Spring-Venerating Daoist Academy on weekdays.
To them, Spring-Venerating Daoist Academy, which provided them with food and lodging, was their benefactor.
Now that our benefactor has given the order, we don't care about the Zhao Household anymore; we don't take them seriously.
Bi Sheng accepted the order and led eight warriors down to search for people.
Although they had only interacted once, Chen Shuangbai knew.
All four families are a group that fears power but not morality.
This group of people has been acting like lords in Wind Howling Ford for many years. They have a knack for playing games with people and wearing them down.
If Chen Shuangbai gets caught up in this, she'll probably be stuck to them like a leech, going around in circles.
Using power to intimidate others.
Cut the Gordian knot.
This is Chen Shuangbai's method.
And it was at this moment...
Suddenly, a noise came from outside the door.
Then a burly man dressed in brocade robes walked in, followed by several servants, who were escorting a woman and a young man.
Chen Shuangbai recognized the other person.
Zhao Yongnian, the head of the Zhao Household.
Zhao Yongnian took a deep breath. Although he wished he could tear Chen Shuangbai to pieces, he could only suppress his emotions and put on a flattering smile as he felt the immense spiritual pressure emanating from the Foundation Establishment Sword Talisman.
He stepped forward and bowed deeply to Chen Shuangbai, adopting an extremely humble posture.
"Lord Chen, please calm down. I beg you to calm down."
"No matter what the fault is, it's all the Zhao Household's fault. And so... I've already brought the person back to you, awaiting your judgment."
Chen Shuangbai glanced at Bi Sheng, who carefully examined the mother and son, Bi Sheng nodded slightly, indicating that it was indeed the two of them.
Zhao Yongnian was a sensible person.
He knew that a few words wouldn't quell Chen Shuangbai's anger, so he continued...
"Rest assured, those who offend you, whether they deserve punishment or beating, are entirely up to you."
"To express our apologies, the Zhao Household is willing to transfer our two medicinal herb gardens and three farms outside the county to the Spring-Venerating Daoist Academy, share the trade routes with the Spring-Venerating Daoist Academy, and subsequently provide strong support to caravans traveling to surrounding counties, contributing to the development of local people's livelihoods."
"Besides these, there are also..."
A servant behind Zhao Yongnian brought over a wooden tray with a Storage Bag on it.
Bi Sheng, following Chen Shuangbai's signal, stepped forward to probe with his spiritual sense and then returned to report.
Chen Shuangbai gave him a deep look.
Those who have managed to become the head of the family certainly have good judgment.
As the garrison commander of Wind Howling Ford, Chen Shuangbai will be assessed by the Jade Spring Sect after his term of service expires, with the development of local people's livelihood being the top priority of the assessment.
In addition, with those two medicinal herb gardens and three farms, sharing trade routes, they have effectively controlled Spring-Venerating Daoist Academy.
As for what's in that Storage Bag... it represents the Zhao Household's greatest sincerity and apology.
There are one hundred Middle-Grade Spirit Stone and ten Upper-Grade Spirit Stone inside.
Chen Shuangbai looked at Zhao Yongnian with great interest and slowly said, "Patriarch Zhao Household, you've certainly made a good calculation. Two medicinal gardens, three farms, shared trade routes, support for caravans... It sounds like my Spring-Venerating Daoist Academy has gained a huge advantage, while your Zhao Household has suffered a great loss, and you still have to do your utmost for the local people's livelihood?"
Zhao Yongnian's back slumped slightly again, and the fawning smile on his face intensified.
He lowered his stance even further.
The Zhao Household truly wishes to make amends and is willing to share the burden of the garrison. We implore the garrison commander... to give our family a chance to atone for our sins and to do a good deed for the local people."
The atmosphere remained tense.
The three masters of the Zhao Household bowed deeply, not daring to raise their heads.
But they weren't afraid of Chen Shuangbai; rather, they were terrified of the Foundation Establishment Sword Talisman in Chen Shuangbai's hands, and... the behemoth that was the Jade Spring Sect.
Chen Shuangbai knew what these people were planning.
a long time.
Chen Shuangbai said calmly, "Get up, all of you. Since you're so determined, then do it well."
Zhao Yongnian seized the opportunity and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, I will definitely do my job well in the future, do more good deeds for the local people, and cooperate fully with the garrison commander to improve Wind Howling Ford."
Immediately afterwards, he walked up to the mother and son, snatched the golden seal from the young man's arms, whose face was filled with resentment, and respectfully handed it to Chen Shuangbai with a fawning smile on his face.
"This is the golden seal you requested, to guard this place."
