Chapter 248 Taking Action
The Song family had prospered since the generation of General Song, spanning at least four generations, a minimum of a hundred years.
The Old Song Ancestor had lived in his brother's shadow since childhood. No matter who it was, they always praised how formidable his brother was, how high his martial arts talent was, and how greatly he contributed to the country and their people, winning numerous honours for their family.
Nobody ever thought that this brother of General Song had made any significant contributions to the Song family; instead, they just thought Old Song Ancestor was lucky to have such a remarkable brother!
After General Song died in battle defending the nation, the Old Song Ancestor felt a great relief and even managed to break through to a War King level.
Decades later, he had advanced to the late stages of War King, becoming the most powerful figure in the entire Song family.
With such strength, he even carved a place for himself in the whole kingdom of Long.
But a rat is a rat, despite his great increase in strength over the years, he never thought of contributing to the kingdom. Instead, he was excellent at hunkering down in a small place, exploiting his power to bully and benefit himself!
Now that Ye Ling had mentioned General Song and compared the two, the Old Song Ancestor was naturally furious!
Seeing the Old Song Ancestor so angry, Ye Ling raised an eyebrow, somewhat perplexed for a moment.
However, he didn't care about these details and quickly caught a powerful move from the Old Song Ancestor.
The Old Song Ancestor had never been on a battlefield; he just used his power to bully the weak, naturally lacking real combat experience.
Releasing his Inner Qi made him appear like a god descending from heaven, and it even gave the slightly demoralized Song family members a glimmer of hope.
But then...
The Old Song Ancestor, extremely confident in himself, didn't even use a weapon and attacked Ye Ling with bare fists.
Ye Ling also didn't utilize his royal realm martial powers and compressed his strength to the War King realm.
"Bang!"
Ye Ling steadily caught the Old Song Ancestor's full-strength attack.
"This kid is courting death, daring to catch my strike with his hand!"
A hint of cold smile curled up on the Old Song Ancestor's lips as this thought flashed through his mind.
But then his expression suddenly changed; he felt his fist not caught by Ye Ling's palm, but as if smashing against steel, then sinking into a marsh, even hearing the cracking of his own bones!
"Ah..."
The Old Song Ancestor belatedly felt the pain transmitting from his hand and instinctively tried to pull it back.
At this moment, they were in a mix of terror and shock.
Although they knew the strength of Ye Ling's trio was formidable, they had not expected it to be to this extent!
Even the Song family's patriarch, who was in the late stage of the Battle King, had been dealt with, so what was the middle-stage Liu family patriarch?
At this moment, the people of the four great families were chilled to the bone, and the guards holding weapons secretly put them down, not daring to point their weapons at Ye Ling and the others anymore.
After all, if the Family Head were to order them to shoot, would they actually do it?
What if they shot and didn't kill Ye Ling—who among them could withstand a hit from Ye Ling?!
"You, what exactly do you want?"
The Song Family Head clenched his teeth and asked in despair.
Ye Ling shook his head and said to them, "I don't want anything much! Didn't I say it already? Either submit to me or I'll help society clean up some trash."
I trust you for nothing! You little rascal are terribly bad!
The Song Family Head, looking at the patriarch lying in the corner, life or death unknown, and then at the hall that looked as if a typhoon had passed through it, tearfully said, "Alright, we all submit to you!"
The other three family heads immediately looked towards him, and the Song Family Head said, "Do we have any other choice now?"
"No more."
The other families knew, far north of the capital and closer to Jinling.
If they wanted to oppose Ye Ling, they would at least have to wait for support from the major figures of the capital. Otherwise, in the region around Jinling in the north, there was no one who could deal with Ye Ling.
Ye Ling was able to easily overpower their elders; his realm was at least at the late stage of Battle King, or perhaps it was the imperial realm that they dare not even contemplate!
Such a mighty figure, with the status of a king on his side, would not be touched by those not truly confident they could utterly obliterate Ye Ling.
Chen Dao burst out in loud laughter, clapping his hands with satisfaction, like a petty villain taking pleasure in his newfound arrogance.
"If only you had been so sensible earlier, not insisting on opposing us, thinking your elders could intimidate us?"
"Who would have thought it would backfire so terribly? It's uncertain whether your ancestors can still be your pillar now! But if you behave well, I might consider protecting you for a bit!"
Ye Ling gave him a look, somewhat speechless.
Feeling Ye Ling's gaze, Chen Dao quickly coughed and straightened up.
Handling these business matters obviously wasn't his forte. Chen Dao, a madman, lived for fighting and killing, and following Ye Ling's orders—that was it. If he really had to manage a small family, he'd probably be unbearably stifled.
