"Stop!"
Just as Wu Shihao''s wrist was about to swing down, Guo Li suddenly burst out shouting, interrupting Wu Shihao''s command!
"Have you all forgotten? My elder brother is the Deputy Commander of the Xuanwu Region, the future successor to the Town Martial Hall, the future successor to the Tianlong Army! As an officer decreed by the empire, it''s not right for my elder brother to lay hands on you, but do you dare to directly kill my elder brother?"
With one shout from Guo Li, the three thousand Military Martial members present began to stir.
Although the majority of the three thousand Military Martial were Wu Shihao''s legitimate line, some had followed Wu Shihao in hopes of promotion and wealth, and yet others didn''t quite understand the significance of their mission, hearing Guo Li saying that Ye Fan was the Deputy Commander of the Xuanwu Region—a position higher than that of Wu Shihao!
To kill such an appointed officer in Great Xia would result in execution and the extermination of one''s entire family!
Some began to waver!
Qi Yuan and Qi Debang couldn''t help but turn their attention to Guo Li. This lackey following Ye Fan appeared unremarkable and undistinguished, but at the crucial moment, he hit the nail on the head, shaking the military Hearts with a single sentence—impressive!
Wasn''t this Wu Shihao, using his identity as an imperial official to pressure Ye Fan?@@@@
Then fight back using the same methods against him!
Ye Fan''s identity was even more awesome than Wu Shihao''s!
Especially the identity as the future successor of the Town Martial Hall—it was an existence that made everyone present tremble.
The Town Martial Hall in Great Xia was above all other authority, possessing the power of life and death, and even the royal family was wary of it. Chen Yao, the King of the Dark Night, dominated an era, striking fear into everyone at the mere mention of his name.
Clang!
Among the members of the Military Martial, some could no longer hold on and dropped their weapons in fear.
Wu Shihao gave Guo Li a cold glare. Before Ye Fan''s identity was made clear, it was possible to execute first and report later. But now that Ye Fan''s identity was exposed, either they would have to drop the matter, or if they did proceed, everyone present... would have to be left with no survivors... including those three thousand Military Martial who had attacked the hotel; they all had to be silenced.
Wu Shihao knew that from the moment he privately mobilized the Military Martial members today, he no longer had a way out.
"Hmph! Just killing an appointed officer, right? It''s not like I haven''t killed one before. And, just a month ago, here in Guangcheng, I personally killed Ye Lingyu, who was a three-star general in the Vermilion Bird Domain. What if I killed him? Killing you now... would be a perfect send-off for you to reunite!"
Since they had completely torn their facades, Wu Shihao didn''t bother to hide his intentions anymore.
Hearing the disturbance among his subordinates, he shouted sternly, "Everyone, listen up! If you kill Ye Fan today, Lord Jin of the Capital will support me to become the highest commander of the Vermilion Bird Domain... All of you, on top of your current position, will be promoted by three ranks. I stand by my word!"
"Now that you''ve participated in the action, even if you stop now, you can''t escape punishment. You''d better think it through!"
In the art of manipulating people''s hearts, Wu Shihao still had some tricks up his sleeve.
Lure and coercion—the simple combination of words immediately settled the members of the Military Martial who had acted with him!
The red Rune Talismans beside Wu Shihao finally closed in on those Red Silk Spirit Bodies!
Ye Fan, who was controlling the Red Silk Spirit Bodies, suddenly felt as if the Red Threads had encountered something terrifying and rapidly retracted them!
In just a moment, Ye Fan had already lost control of ten battle vehicles!
"Not good! Everyone, dodge!" Ye Fan didn''t have time to be shocked, hastily calling to Qi Yuan, Qi Debang, and the remaining Qi Family bodyguards beside him to move away from their current positions.
Those battle vehicles that had lost control were bound to open fire immediately!

As Ye Fan had predicted, the gunners in those ten battle vehicles, having regained their freedom, immediately pressed the buttons, and the artillery shells were about to fly out!
A dark shadow flashed past swiftly, and flashes of cold light flickered through the air...
Splash! Splash! Splash!
In less than a fraction of a second, the gun barrels on top of the ten battle vehicles were all chopped off by a shadowy figure, and the shells that were supposed to fly out... fell in front of the vehicles...
"Crap! Jump out!"
The people inside the battle vehicles wanted to open the doors and jump out, but it was already too late!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a series of intense explosions, ten battle vehicles immediately began to smoke heavily, instantly losing their combat effectiveness!
This scene stunned Wu Shihao!
Were his subordinates idiots?
They were supposed to bomb Ye Fan, but instead, they were bombing themselves—a total mess?
A dark figure emerged from the thick smoke, carrying a wheelchair single-handedly, with a middle-aged man with a determined complexion sitting on it, none other than the current head of the Town Martial Hall, Chen Yao!
The black-clad man with a mask set down the wheelchair next to Ye Fan, and Chen Yao lifted his hands and swept a sharp gaze over everyone present, "I am Chen Yao! Everyone, cease fire! Of course, you can also try firing at me!"
Chen Yao''s voice wasn''t loud, but the overwhelming pressure instantly made the air around the scene freeze... Many of Wu Shihao''s Three Thousand Military Technique troops involuntarily stepped back...
The sudden appearance of the Town Martial Hall head Chen Yao complicated things even further!
Wu Shihao''s face turned extremely grim, that Old Deng had actually come running here, and it seemed there would be difficulty in killing Ye Fan today...
