Chapter 61 Who is in favor, and who is against?
Page (1/3)
At this moment, seeing Ye Feng again, the people of the five great families no longer dared show the slightest negligence. Their hearts were filled with fear.
After all, even Perfected Pang, the honored cultivator enshrined by the Ji family, had been struck from a distance by Ye Feng until he vomited blood.
And the terrifying scene before them had all been created by Ye Feng alone.
How could the ordinary members of the five great families still dare show him the slightest disrespect?
With every step Ye Feng took forward, the people before him retreated one step in fear.
Although they desperately wanted to flee, Ye Feng had blocked the only exit. No matter how courageous they were, none dared take even half a step past him.
“What!? How did this place become like this?”
Bai Weiwei followed him inside and was instantly so frightened that her breathing grew ragged.
“Wait!”
Ye Feng turned around and gently brushed a finger across Bai Weiwei’s eyes.
In an instant, her vision brightened, and everything around her returned to normal.
The members of the other five great families, however, still looked as though they had seen a ghost, terrified out of their wits. Clearly, they were still trapped within the illusion and unable to escape.
“Mr. Ye… Mr. Ye!”
When the Cui family saw that Ye Feng could dispel the illusion, they hurried forward to beg for his help.
“We’re on the same side!”
“This was all arranged by the Ji family and the others. It has nothing to do with the Cui family.”
“Please show us mercy, Mr. Ye, and erase these terrifying illusions for us as well!”
Ye Feng raised a hand and erased the layer of illusion from the members of the Cui family too.
“Phew…” The Cui family members sighed in relief. “Everything is finally back to normal.”
“Mr. Ye!”
At that moment, Su Jiuchuan brought several people before Ye Feng and bowed respectfully.
“This is my father, and this is my elder brother.”
“Our Su family is also willing to cooperate with Mr. Ye. We have absolutely no ulterior motives.”
“Please be merciful, Mr. Ye. My father has a heart condition…”
Ye Feng nodded and likewise restored the Su family’s vision to normal.
The father and son of the Su family were immensely grateful. Even their earlier intention of siding with whoever seemed strongest was immediately abandoned.
Old Master Su also made up his mind then and there. For the future development of the Su family, it seemed he would have to bypass the eldest son and appoint his younger son, Su Jiuchuan, as the family’s successor.
“And us…”
The Ji, Tan, and Chang families hurried forward as well, pleading to have their senses restored.
“Heh. You three won’t be needing that, will you?”
Ye Feng immediately refused.

Thunder and rain alike are gifts from Heaven!
Ye Feng could pardon the Chu and Su families, but he also needed to intimidate the Ji, Tan, and Chang families.
“Who was it that set up the formation outside just now?”
Ye Feng’s gaze swept coldly across everyone present.
In the end, it settled on Perfected Pang. He already had his answer.
“It… it was me…”
Perfected Pang tremblingly stepped forward.
“With such mediocre skill, you still dared to engage me in a battle of magic from a distance?”
Ye Feng seized him and lifted him into the air as easily as if he were a chick.
Perfected Pang was so frightened that he repeatedly begged for mercy.
“Don’t you enjoy raising ghosts?”
As he spoke, Ye Feng casually tossed him onto the conference table. “Then go and savor what it feels like to be thrown into a cauldron of boiling oil!”
Bang!
Before the words had even faded, Perfected Pang was slammed heavily onto the tabletop.
Although it was merely a solid-wood conference table, under the influence of the illusion, in the eyes of Perfected Pang and the others, it was a boiling cauldron from the depths of hell.
The moment he landed inside it, Perfected Pang shuddered violently. He felt his skin split and his flesh tear, and the agony was unbearable.
He struggled to climb out, but hideous demons with blue faces and fangs immediately appeared around him. Wielding knives and forks, they battered him back into the cauldron.
He could only roll and writhe within it, crying and howling as he endured endless torment.
Even though he knew full well that it was all an illusion, Perfected Pang still suffered unbearable pain and anguish, unable to free himself.
At the sight of his miserable state, the members of the five great families all felt their scalps prickle.
Of course, different people saw different scenes before them.
For example, the pardoned members of the Cui and Su families could see only Perfected Pang rolling about and screaming on the table.
But in the eyes of the other three families, the sight of Perfected Pang being thrown into boiling oil was far too gruesome and bloody. They turned their heads one after another, not daring to look directly at it.
“Everyone, sit down!”
Ye Feng continued issuing orders. “Sit down. We’ll have a proper discussion.”
Sit down!?
This seemingly simple request was immediately obeyed by the Cui and Su families, who docilely returned to their seats.
But to the members of the Ji, Tan, and Chang families, it was practically the same as being sent to the execution ground.
In their eyes, the tables and chairs were all monsters capable of devouring them.
With their backs practically on fire, how could they possibly sit down?
After everyone on Ye Feng’s side had taken their seats—

“Hm!?”
Ye Feng glanced at the three families, who were still standing to one side, too afraid to sit.
“We… we’ll just stand…”
“How could we dare sit in front of you, Mr. Ye?”
Everyone hurriedly stepped aside.
“I told you to sit, so sit down!”
Ye Feng’s voice turned cold. “Anyone who dares remain standing will be thrown in there to keep him company!”
As he spoke, Ye Feng rapped his knuckles against the conference table before him.
To the members of the three families, it was the terrifying image of a boiling cauldron of oil.
“All right…”
“We’ll sit…”
“Sit…”
With their eyes shut tight and their teeth clenched, the people of the three families sat down with great difficulty, steeling themselves as though they were walking to the execution ground.
Cold sweat drenched their entire bodies, and every passing second felt like a year.
The atmosphere in the room was extraordinarily subtle.
Under such a terrifying atmosphere, what could they possibly discuss?
No matter what demands Ye Feng made, the people present likely would not dare utter a single word of refusal.
After all, there was still one man before their eyes, struggling and howling in a cauldron of boiling oil.
It was the perfect example of killing the chicken to frighten the monkeys—so terrifying that none of them dared entertain any other thoughts.
“I came here today to inform you of two things.”
Ye Feng spoke once more.
“First, the Feng Corporation has just been established and is short of funds. It needs the support of all five families.”
“Each of you will contribute two billion. Together, you will give me ten billion!”
“Second, from now on, all five families will submit to me just as you once served the Bai family. My word is law!”
“Everything will be decided by me!”
With that, Ye Feng rose to his feet and looked down arrogantly upon everyone present.
“I’ve said my piece. Who is in favor, and who is opposed?”
