Chapter 276: Search

"Didn't I just bring them here?" The Qu Family Head clapped his hands, and a group of Martial Artists stepped forward. The Qu Family Head pointed at this group of Martial Artists and said, "These people are guards from my Ziyun Auction House; they saw with their own eyes your Zhang Family storming into the Ziyun Auction House."

"Ridiculous!" The Zhang Family Head laughed and said, "These Martial Artists are all people from your Ziyun Auction House. Naturally, they obey your orders, so how can they count as witnesses?"

"Why wouldn't they count?" The Qu Family Head's expression turned cold. "They are the Martial Artists guarding the Ziyun Auction House; if they cannot testify, then who can?"

"These Martial Artists belong to your Qu Family. Whatever they say is just a matter of a single word from you, so how can they testify? Unless there are other Martial Artists not from the Qu Family to provide testimony, we are unwilling to confront them face-to-face. As for these Martial Artists who eat your Qu Family's rice, it would be best if they stopped spouting nonsense here," the Zhang Family Head said.

The Qu Family Head sneered, "Which Martial Artist would be willing to testify for our Ziyun Auction House? Even if they saw it with their own eyes, they wouldn't dare step forward. Aren't they afraid of retaliation from your Zhang Family afterward? The tyranny of your Zhang Family is famous throughout all of Chenyang City."

"No matter how tyrannical we are, we aren't as tyrannical as your Qu Family!" The Zhang Family Head fumed, his beard bristling.

"Stop spouting such useless nonsense. Quickly hand over the culprit and the stolen treasure, otherwise…" The Qu Family Head looked coldly at the Zhang Family Head.

"If I don't have them, how can I hand them over?" the Zhang Family Head said in a deep voice.

"You don't have them?" The Qu Family Head said, "It was your Zhang Family that robbed my Ziyun Auction House, how is it possible that you don't have them? If you want to prove your innocence, it's not impossible; just let us search, and that will be enough!"

"Why should my Zhang Family let you search? What do you think my Zhang Family is?" The Zhang Family Head said with a sullen expression.

The Qu Family Head waved his hand, and a squad of City Guards stepped forward. "Greetings, Zhang Family Head."

These City Guards were quite polite to the Zhang Family Head.

"Rest assured, it is not our Qu Family searching, but the City Guards searching!" The Qu Family Head said.

The Zhang Family Head narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "And what if I am unwilling?"

"We haven't sparred in a long time; why don't we have a match?" The Qu Family Head released his Martial Ancestor Aura, pressing down on everyone from the Zhang Family.

Suddenly, the Zhang Family members felt that the Qu Family Head was like a massive mountain. Some of the weaker-minded Martial Artists even began to feel fear, and their Battle Intent vanished completely.

"Very well!" The Zhang Family Head also released his own Martial Ancestor Aura, blocking the Qu Family Head's pressure.

This Qu Family Head had come to bully them at their doorstep; if they didn't have a match, it wouldn't be justifiable!

Moreover, looking at the Qu Family's stance, they wouldn't give up without a match.

"Father." A middle-aged man looked at the Zhang Family Head with worried eyes.

The Zhang Family Head gave the middle-aged man a reassuring look, then stared intently at the Qu Family Head.

The Qu Family Head also had a solemn expression; he dashed forward rapidly, the Spiritual Qi in his hands surging like the sea.

"Thirteen Palms of Severing Clouds," the Qu Family Head used his most proficient Move as soon as he struck. Layers of afterimages appeared on the scene, dazzling the eyes of onlookers. The wind arrived before the palm, blowing the Zhang Family Head's graying hair as it fluttered in the breeze.

The Zhang Family Head solemnly performed Qi Gathering with his Spiritual Qi, a hint of hatred in his eyes. He clenched his fist tightly and struck toward the Qu Family Head's palm.

"Boom!" Everyone felt a violent sound ring out beside their ears. They could not help but cover their ears, watching the two tall figures in the arena without blinking.
