Xiao Hailong shuddered all over, feeling an intense chill pierce from the soles of his feet to the top of his head the instant Ye Huan's gaze landed on him, chilling him to the bone!

He didn't dare to threaten Ye Huan further.

He had already said what needed to be said!

If Ye Huan insisted on seeking death, it wasn't his fault!

Xiao Hailong placed his hands behind his back and swept his gaze across the room, saying indifferently, "Who else from the Xiao Family wants to defect? Considering we share the same surname, I'm giving you this opportunity to surrender. Anyone who stands up can leave with me! The end of the Xiao Family has come, and no one can save it! Joining the Xiao Family now is your wisest choice!"

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Suddenly, more than a hundred people stood up, responding to Xiao Hailong.

Xiao Qingming's face turned livid with rage as he pointed at them furiously, "You all..."

"Young Miss, it's not that we want to, but we have no choice. Who told the Xiao Family to fall apart? If we want to survive in the Ancient Martial Realm, we can only choose to attach ourselves to the Patriarch of the Xiao Family!"

"It's not easy to get a chance to see the light and turn over a new leaf, so of course we have to seize it!"

"Young Miss, listen to me, the Xiao Family's time has come, and no one can save it. You should also quickly side with the Patriarch of the Xiao Family, and don't place your hopes on Ye Huan. Although he's impressive, does he really have the power to fight against the entire Ancient Martial Realm? Besides, do you think he has to do this for the Xiao Family?"

"Before the Xiao Family is destroyed, withdrawing early is the wise choice!"

"Young Miss, the best chance to save your own skin is now. Stand up with us!"

The younger generation of the Xiao Family flushed red with shame over betraying the family, but out of gratitude for Xiao Qingming's past kindness, they urged her to surrender to Xiao Hailong quickly, rather than stand against the entire Ancient Martial Realm.

Almost exploding with anger, Xiao Qingming was beside himself.

Xiao Hailong, nearby, was very satisfied with the words of the Xiao Family juniors, clapping his hands and saying, "Well said! The Xiao Family is doomed, and no matter how impressive Ye Huan is, he can't stand against the entire Ancient Martial Realm!"

"Is there anyone else who wants to surrender? Stand up quickly!"

"Otherwise, if the Xiao Family falls into a dead end, it'll be too late for you to surrender!"

Xiao Hailong, with hands in pockets, looked mockingly at the desolate-faced Xiao Zhan.

He wasn't particularly interested in accepting the surrender of the Xiao Family people; he was here to give Ye Huan an ultimatum and, in passing, humiliate Xiao Zhan by rallying the Xiao Family to surrender!

To show Xiao Zhan that under his leadership, the Xiao Family was a disgrace and couldn't compare to the prosperous Xiao Family at all!

The gap was that significant!

A few minutes after speaking, seeing no one else standing up, Xiao Hailong looked around the room and found that those who refused to surrender were all young women, and he was immediately displeased: "You women, don't act like I'm giving you face, because you're shameless! Join the Xiao Family today, and I'll arrange a suitable partner for each of you. Otherwise, after the Xiao Family's fallen, you'll all have to line up for my bed one by one!"

Xiao Hai threatened the young women of the Xiao Family with crude and indecent language.

Indeed, most of the Xiao Family disciples who expressed their intention to surrender to the Xiao Family were young men.

The young women, on the other hand, stood together in solidarity, refusing to surrender.

Xiao Feng had previously stood up for the young women, driving out Xiao Hailong, who had humiliated and abused many young women of the family.

Now, those who had been humiliated by Xiao Hailong had all become their mothers. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

As women, they naturally empathized with their mothers' plight and were filled with indignation, being very grateful to Xiao Feng for standing up in time.

If Xiao Feng hadn't punished Xiao Hailong with a swift hand, Xiao Hailong would have become the Patriarch of the Xiao Family by now.

Before inheriting the position of Patriarch, Xiao Hailong dared to violate young women of the same family; if he became Patriarch, what then?

It's no exaggeration to say that if it were true, they would have certainly been violated by Xiao Hailong, the current Patriarch of the Xiao Family!

Xiao Feng saved their mothers, indirectly saving them. How could they think of betraying the Xiao Family?

And betray to the side of that scum who had seriously hurt their mothers?

They couldn't do such a thing and wouldn't do it!

"Get lost!" The young women mustered their courage and shouted in unison.

"Fine, you're tough now, huh? I'll teach you a lesson soon! A bunch of whores who don't know better, once I destroy the Xiao Family, I'll treat you the same way I treated your mothers back then!"

"You think Ye Huan can protect you, is that it?"

"Let me tell you, if Ye Huan dares to resist stubbornly and insists on opposing the entire Ancient Martial Realm, there are plenty of people to deal with him, and he won't even be able to protect himself!"

"Every single one of you, I've remembered you, so just wait for me!"

Xiao Hailong's expression was extremely sinister as he finished his threats and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go!"

Then he led a group of Xiao Family young men who had surrendered out of the restaurant.

The once-crowded hall was now empty, with many seats vacant.

The atmosphere was eerie and silent.

"Well done, the Xiao Family's descendants aren't all cowards afraid of death. Come, let's eat first. Don't be afraid, I'm here, and even if it costs me this old life, I'll find a good future for you and won't let Xiao Hailong harm you." Xiao Zhan smiled kindly, looking much older than his age. Though in his fifties, he seemed like a seventy-year-old now.

"Patriarch, we will live and die with the Xiao Family!" the young women shouted in unison, full of determination.

"Good! I toast to you!"

Tears streamed down Xiao Zhan's old face as he raised his glass and drank it all.

After drinking several large glasses in a row, he was suddenly puzzled when he noticed Ye Huan, still calmly eating lobster and abalone, asking, "Young Master Ye, why aren't you leaving?"
