Gu Chaoyan immediately halted anyone attempting to chase after Zhang Lehe, advising them not to pursue him.

Her initial plan had been to provoke this group of troublemakers and then have them bring their formidable ally to the forefront. The current situation was ideal, so she opted to remain here and wait.

“Take a break; we’ll have to handle something major later,” Gu Chaoyan instructed, gesturing for them to relax.

Hearing Gu Chaoyan’s words, the Yan Family servants either chuckled or failed to comprehend the situation entirely. Regardless, her statement provided them with reassurance.

It implied that Gu Chaoyan could handle these matters, and there was no need to worry about the consequences.

“What about these individuals? How should we deal with them?” Madame Yan inquired.

“They’re just a gang of swindlers. While they’re in the wrong, they don’t deserve death. Bind them for now, and we’ll address their case later,” Gu Chaoyan responded nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, the culprits breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, they wouldn’t face punishment that might have led to their demise. Only they were aware of the various transgressions they had committed during this period, likely offending numerous individuals, including the Yan Clan.

In a matter of moments, Zhang Lehe arrived with his entourage.

He excitedly pointed at the Yan Family members. “It’s them! Not only did they refuse to surrender the items willingly, they even abducted my people and threatened me!”

The Paragon Martial God expert’s hair had already turned white, but his face remained rosy due to his cultivation.

He furrowed his brows and delivered a slap to Zhang Lehe’s face. “What use are you? You can’t even handle such a small group of troublemakers, yet you expect me to intervene personally!”

“Yes, yes, yes. I’m utterly useless. I’m utterly useless,” Zhang Lehe responded obsequiously, fearing to provoke the expert any further.

The elderly man with the Paragon Martial God cultivation remained silent, choosing not to pursue the matter further. Continuing to do so would make him appear petty, given that these individuals had significantly lower cultivation levels. As a Paragon Martial God, he was an expert, and although he had engaged in numerous activities, he had no intention of tarnishing his image.

He took a few steps forward, positioning himself in the center of the Yan Family.

A perplexed expression crossed his face. “I underestimated him. I didn’t expect to encounter a Paragon Martial Saint here, especially one so young. Achieving the Paragon Martial Saint realm at such a tender age indicates considerable talent. However… Unfortunately, young people tend to act impulsively. They lack the wisdom to distinguish right from wrong. I am a Paragon Martial God, and my cultivation far surpasses yours. It would be effortless for me to take your life.”

“You’re too hasty. Do you believe that with your level of cultivation, you can behave like a rogue here?” The elderly man spoke with disdain in his tone.

Though he outwardly appeared disdainful, inwardly, he harbored deep displeasure and envy. He had expended a lifetime of effort to reach his current status, and he couldn’t fathom how someone as young as Gu Chaoyan could effortlessly achieve something he hadn’t been able to. He was unconvinced, utterly unconvinced!

And such an eyesore couldn’t be allowed to persist.

It had to be eliminated.

Just as he harbored this thought and gathered spiritual qi in his hand, preparing to unleash it…

Suddenly…
