Chapter: 3632

The Broken Army looked at them, sweeping its gaze across the group, then spoke in a cold tone: "Do you know why I brought you back?"

Everyone lowered their heads nervously, no one daring to speak up.

The Broken Army saw this and said: "I abhor people who are disloyal and unfilial throughout my life! You all belong to Ye family's branch, and you're related to Ye family by blood. But when Ye family faces difficulties, you're the first ones to flee without a thought. Can you justify the help and support Ye family has given you over these many years?"

The members of Ye family's branch listened, their faces filled with confusion.

They genuinely couldn't understand why the Broken Army was questioning them about betraying Ye family.

Many people in their hearts whispered: "Isn't it simple logic that we're fleeing because we don't want to, nor dare to, be enemies with the Broken Army?"

At this moment, Ye Tianxiao, whose leg had been broken, said with a flattering smile: "Wan Dianzhuan! We aren't disloyal or unprincipled. It's just that we deeply respect the might of Wan Long Temple and you, Wan Dianzhuan, so we chose to leave... "

The Broken Army coldly laughed: "You're also the first one I've met who can say such reasonable-sounding things about fleeing."

"Hey Dianzhuan! As for me, I'm also afraid of you and Wan Long Temple's power, so I don't want to get involved in this matter with Wan family at all..."

He added: "And, after all, your parents were hurt by my ancestor Ye Changning. It's only natural that you come looking for justice from Wan family. If we're on the same side as Wan family, aren't we enemies with you and justice itself?"

Wan Paojun smiled coldly and asked: "So, according to your reasoning, I should actually thank you instead?"

Ye Tianxiao hurriedly shook his head: "Hey Dianzhuan, please don't take it out on me. If you just don't blame me, I'll be very grateful..."

Other Wan family relatives also nodded in agreement, with someone opening their mouth to say: "Yes, Hey Dianzhuan, those who have grudges with you are the mainline members of Wan family, while we, the collateral branches, really don't have anything to do with it. Please spare us and don't drag us into this..."

Others quickly echoed in agreement: "Hey Dianzhuan! We're just people surnamed Ye; we have no connection whatsoever to your parents' death. Now that you've let Wan family surrender and gotten your revenge, why bother with us small fry?"

Wan Paojun listened to these pleas from the Wan family collateral branches and replied coldly: "In my eyes, you're all part of one family tree; naturally, you're all one family. Since we're all one family, we'll definitely take responsibility for our family's mistakes."

As he spoke, Wan Paojun said coldly: "Don't say I'm not giving you a chance. As long as you and Wan family behave yourselves and hand over half your assets, this matter will be dropped! Otherwise, I'll make the whole family pay dearly!"

As soon as Wan Paojun finished speaking, a chorus of wails erupted in the room.

Giving up half our assets is just brutal!"

"Peel off just a thin layer, and Wan's army will split them right down the middle!"

The group of people continued to beg, with Ye Tianxiao choking back tears as he said, "Wan Jun, we're not even part of the Ye family, you can't treat us the same way you would the main branch of the Ye family! From what I know, the Ye family main branch only put out half their assets. How can you use the same conditions to require us to hand over half our assets...?"

Ye Tianxiao's words immediately resonated with others.

They realized that they were being forced by Wan Long Hall to return to Ye Ling Mountain, and it was likely not a good omen. But they had no idea how big Wan Long Hall's appetite really was!

It would require them to hand over half their assets, which was almost as scary as taking away their lives. These collateral branches of the family had spent decades developing their own domains, only to finally accumulate what they had today. Suddenly being asked to hand over half was something no one could accept.

Wan Army watched the chorus of complaints and immediately said coldly, "I won't waste my breath talking to you anymore. I've also seen the Ye family genealogy. Besides the 700-plus people who came to participate in the ancestral ritual this time, all other descendants are recorded very clearly on the family tree. If any family is not genuine about cooperating, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

These collateral branches of the Ye family heard these words and immediately fell into deep despair. JrNovels.com
