The Beautiful County Magistrate-Chapter 981: Intimidation

Having suffered greatly at the hands of the Bai Family Matriarch, nearly to the point of death, Yang Zhengqing barely managed to stabilize himself and stand firm, but in reality, his insides were churning, and he almost passed out.

In the current situation, with one of the Young Sect Masters dead and the other injured, and himself severely injured by the Bai Family Matriarch, the situation was extremely disadvantageous for him.

Yang Zhengqing truly never imagined that things would turn out like this, not even in his dreams.

In his opinion, no matter how powerful the Bai Family was, they wouldn’t dare to defy the decision of the Taixu Sect.

The Taixu Sect wanted to marry Bai Yanran, the Bai Family’s eldest daughter, as the wife of the Young Sect Master, and the Bai Family would have no choice but to obediently comply, with no possibility of refusal.

Who would have thought that not only did the Bai Family refuse, but they also resorted to violence.

Earlier, when Xu Qianli made his move, it could be understood as his ignorance of the Taixu Sect’s strength, being overly arrogant, not knowing the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, and having nothing to do with the Bai Family.

But now, the Bai Family’s head, the Bai Family Matriarch, had ambushed him and severely injured him; this clearly showed the Bai Family’s stance.

The Bai Family, really incredibly bold!

If he could, Yang Zhengqing truly wished to kill the Bai Family Matriarch and then eradicate the entire Bai Family.

But now, he was seriously injured, barely able to stand, much less capable of that.

With no choice, he forced down the impulse to strike, gritting his teeth, Yang Zhengqing said, "Your Bai Family has a lot of nerve, daring to treat my Taixu Sect like this! Not only killing my Young Sect Master, but also daring to strike at me, Yang, do you know what this will lead to for your Bai Family? The strength of my Taixu Sect is something you should know well; we will never take this lying down!"

The Bai Family Matriarch said coldly, "Your Taixu Sect is formidable, a true hidden sect with countless masters within. In a one-on-one situation, my Bai Family is definitely not a match, only doomed to destruction. But do you really think that my Bai Family has to fight your Taixu Sect one-on-one?"

Yang Zhengqing suddenly sneered, revealing a disdainful expression, contemptuously scanning the Bai Family Matriarch up and down, finally squeezing out a word dripping with scorn, "Do you think there will be another hidden sect willing to help you?"

Most hidden sects have connections with one another, and the Taixu Sect has pretty good relationships with quite a few.

Yang Zhengqing was certain that knowing the Bai Family had offended the Taixu Sect, no hidden sect would stand by the Bai Family.

The power of the Taixu Sect is not to be underestimated. Even among hidden sects, it ranks highly.

Who would offend a powerful sect like the Taixu Sect for the sake of a mundane power like the Bai Family?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

The Bai Family Matriarch said, "Hidden sects? Don’t make me laugh! Do you really think your hidden sects are heavenly palaces overlooking the world from above the nine heavens? So-called hidden sects are just those hiding away in the mountains. Individually, perhaps your combat power is impressive, and your sect’s combat power is strong, but in this world, there are already forces that can easily deal with you. Especially for my Bai Family, extinguishing one of your hidden sects is no difficult task at all."

Xu Qianli said, "Grandmother is right. You so-called hidden sects may have been capable of sweeping the world in the past. But in this era, there are already things that can annihilate you. Your Taixu Sect dared to come trouble me and the Bai Family and even sent an assassin to kill me, and wanted to coerce the Bai Family to hand over Yanran, stirring things up like this. If you really want a fight to the death, we certainly won’t back down!"

What Taixu Sect, what hidden sects, in Xu Qianli’s eyes, it’s all nonsense.

To want his life and steal his woman, he doesn’t care how powerful the Taixu Sect is; if there’s no satisfactory explanation, he’ll destroy the Taixu Sect!

As for the Bai Family Matriarch, Xu Qianli truly didn’t expect this seemingly kind old lady to be so formidable. Not only did she strike at Yang Zhengqing just now, but she also threw out ruthless words. She’s amazing, truly a good lady.

Yang Zhengqing said, "Such arrogance! Openly saying you’ll annihilate my Taixu Sect, who do you think you are? The strength of my Taixu Sect, not just you, but even the strongest hidden sect might not have the strength for that. Just relying on you, can you?"

"You’ll find out soon enough!"

Xu Qianli pulled out his phone and quickly made a call to his father-in-law, Ye Zhanhua.

Being bullied in the Bai Family, as a son-in-law, he had to call in some backup.

The best option right now was undoubtedly father-in-law Ye Zhanhua, who is the Great Commander of the East Sea Theater; as long as he makes a move, some problems would be easily solved.

After Xu Qianli finished his call, the Bai Family Matriarch clapped her hands, and soon several people rushed in, "Family Head, please give your orders!"

"Notify the military department and say that the East Sea Theater needs to conduct live-fire exercises, using the most powerful warheads."

The Bai Family Matriarch nonchalantly issued this command.

Upon hearing her words, not only did a few Bai Family disciples shudder, but even Xu Qianli’s heart trembled.

Oh my dear grandmother, you are so powerful.

She just clearly instructed the military department to allow the use of the Mushroom Bomb by her father-in-law.

With one mushroom bomb, just one would be enough to completely make the Taixu Sect disappear!

Such a massive weapon, and the Bai Family Matriarch can wield it; her courage and ability are truly admirable.

Xu Qianli couldn’t help but reassess the Bai Family Matriarch; this old lady is truly extraordinary.

"Wait!" Yang Zhengqing quickly called out to the Bai Family people, "Bai Family Matriarch, let’s talk this over, we can discuss things."

The Bai Family Matriarch said coldly, "Your Taixu Sect has gone too far, not only trying to forcefully marry my Bai Family’s eldest daughter through might but also sending assassins to kill my grandson-in-law. With such dominance over my Bai Family, what is there left to say?"

"Calm down, Bai Family Matriarch, please. I was just momentarily confused earlier, so don’t take it to heart. In seeking the marriage to the Bai Family’s daughter, we may have approached it in a somewhat aggressive manner, I admit our fault, and I apologize. As for sending the assassins, that truly has nothing to do with our Taixu Sect; it was purely the doing of Yang Long and Yang Hu, not the intention of our taixu Sect."

"Our Taixu Sect has always been on good terms with the Bai Family, with no past grievances. This shouldn’t have escalated to this point today, and at the very least, our Taixu Sect is willing to show goodwill. Please, Bai Family Matriarch, be merciful and calm your anger."

"In any case, we can talk this over, we can talk this over..."

Previously so arrogant and overbearing, Yang Zhengqing had directly caved, no longer daring to be domineering, he immediately conceded and pleaded.

Even though he was part of the hidden sects, that didn’t mean the Taixu Sect was completely ignorant of the matters of the world.

What Xu Qianli and the Bai Family Matriarch intended to do had truly terrified him.

For the sake of Taixu Sect’s legacy, he had no choice but to back down.
