Chapter 1593 - 1570: Final Decision

"Moreover, we not only need to eliminate Ye Huan, but we also have to take out some other ancient martial artists from Huaxia!"

"For instance, both the renowned genius martial artist and the famous loser martial artist from Huaxia must be considered as our targets for elimination! In addition, those who have been rejected in marriage, orphans! Especially those who shout, ’Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west, don’t underestimate a poor youth,’ after being rejected in marriage; regardless of the cost, we must strike them brutally!"

"Loser or genius, the Xiao, Shi, Lin, Ye, and Su families must die! Otherwise — damn it — there might emerge someone who boasts, slaps faces, and rises to the pinnacle of life, leading the entire Ancient Martial Realm of Huaxia against us!"

"Especially those who like to frown and retreat to the back of the crowd must be closely monitored and attacked; absolutely no one should be spared!"

"We are just a few months away from rescuing the ’King’ from Huaxia’s World-Suppressing Array. In these months, our plan must not have any leaks, otherwise we simply cannot afford the cost!"

"Including Ye Huan, all potential threats must be eradicated!"

Jack’s right hand kept pounding the table, making the table emit a series of "bang bang bang" sounds.

His passionate speech convinced many of the Dukes that Ye Huan indeed had to die.

Otherwise, the grand plan of the King’s revival would encounter major problems.

Moreover, what Duke Jack said made a lot of sense.

Three thousand years ago, in the Endless Deep Mountains, the Xiao family was a fourth-tier family, and they produced a super loser young master, who was despised and ridiculed by everyone. His betrothed fiancée came to break off the engagement because his martial arts talents were too wasted.

She harshly slapped the loser in the face.

As a result, the loser clenched his fist, shouted, and said phrases like "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west, don’t underestimate a poor youth," and later he had a series of fortuitous encounters, and subsequently, he boastfully slapped faces and ascended to the pinnacle of life, leaving the heavenly girl who came to break off the engagement full of regret!

Thanks to the presence of this "loser," the Xiao family leaped from a fourth-tier family to a top-tier family!

The loser later encountered the Evil Martial Sacred Land, and in anger, he wiped out more than a thousand Evil Martial Artists in a single battle!

It took the Evil Martial Sacred Land a thousand years to recover and emerge from the shadow of this loser!

This loser brought tremendous shock to the ancient castle; the potential of every ancient martial artist from Huaxia was terrifying, causing them great apprehension.

Moreover, families like the Su Family, Ye Family, and Lin Family were equally absurd!

Over the centuries, they have birthed countless freaks resembling novel protagonists!

Many of these freaks harbor grudges against the Evil Martial Sacred Land and even the ancient castle!

Take Jack Duke’s father, Old Jack, for example. He offended a genius from the Ye Family named Ye Fan.

The outcome was reporting to Hell; his head was knocked sideways by Ye Fan.

These geniuses left a deep psychological shadow for the Evil Martial Sacred Land and the ancient castle.

To this day, the ancient castle remains very apprehensive of these talented family clans, viewing them as their biggest obstacles.

"I support Jack’s view!" Hermes spoke solemnly, surprisingly raising his hand to vote and siding with Jack!

For the first time in centuries, Hermes agreed with Jack’s decision!

The other Dukes raised their hands one after another to vote on the matter.

Nearly without exception, Jack’s view and proposal were approved by everyone except Philip.

Only Philip had not yet raised his hand to vote.

Everyone turned their gaze to Philip.

Philip was calm and collected, raised a goblet filled with a red liquid beside him, whether wine or blood was unclear, and spoke calmly:

"Ten thousand years ago, the King granted the Philip family a privilege — a veto power at the round table meeting, usable once every thousand years!"

"For nearly a thousand years, my Philip family has never exercised this privilege."

"Therefore, I have decided to use this privilege at this meeting to veto Jack’s proposal!"

Philip’s words caused Jack’s face to turn green!

"Philip, don’t you think you’re too selfish? Are you really going to disregard the grand plan of the King’s revival for your own benefit!" Jack shouted angrily!

"Jack, everything you’ve said, I’ve already anticipated; you’re so stupid, how could I be more foolish than you?"

Philip said with a cold laugh, almost causing Jack to faint from anger!

"To tell you the truth, to prevent Ye Huan from gaining too much power, I have already made some preventative arrangements."

"In these eight months, Ye Huan’s strength can indeed rise, but I can clearly tell you that the faster and more his strength rises, the greater the cost he’ll pay!"

Philip’s statement shocked the whole audience!

Jack frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Literally, the cultivation technique Ye Huan is practicing has already been tampered with by me."

"From now on, as Ye Huan cultivates, while gaining more powerful strength, he will heavily damage his blood vessels and meridians, causing irreversible and extensive harm to his martial arts talent and bloodline."

"In this situation, Ye Huan is nothing more than a lamb to be slaughtered, and I can execute him anytime it’s necessary."

"The most crucial point is, my tampering is very hidden, and Ye Huan won’t notice it during his regular cultivation."

"To this day, Ye Huan still shows no sign of detecting anything."

"I’ve completely locked down Ye Huan’s talent and strength, leaving him no room for advancement; even if he does advance, it’s just an illusion, and I can kill him with a wave of my hand."

"Under these circumstances, do we still need to eliminate Ye Huan? Does Ye Huan still qualify as our top threat?"

Philip smiled disdainfully and contemptuously, his gaze sweeping across everyone’s faces.

Hermes and Chronos, along with the Dukes closely related to Philip, wore complicated expressions and changed their stance: "In this case, we indeed don’t have to kill Ye Huan early!"

"Philip Duke is right, under these circumstances, Ye Huan the loser can’t pose any threat to us."

"That tampered cultivation technique is like a large time bomb planted on Ye Huan; if we want him dead, he won’t live to see tomorrow!"

"If we really have to choose, I think it’s unnecessary to kill Ye Huan; it’s better to let Philip’s plan continue!"

The Dukes who usually sided with Jack reconsidered and began discussing, ultimately supporting Philip’s decision!

"I announce that this round table meeting is concluded; for now, we will spare Ye Huan’s life. Should the situation change, we will promptly hold another meeting to discuss countermeasures!" Philip made the final decision with a hammer!
