The wee hours of the morning.
The atmosphere in Ximen Family's inn was somber.
Ximen Wanli's gaze was like a hungry wolf's as he looked at the people in front of him.
"Have you found out?"
"Only … only those who fit the criteria have been checked and the name list has been produced. It hasn't been analyzed yet … "
"Speak."
"There are seven people who fit the criteria … two of them are the most suspicious. One is … the other is Chu Tianlang … and the most suspicious one is this Chu Tianlang."
Ximen Wanli's gaze flickered as his voice was cold. "Tell me about this Chu Tianlang."
"Chu Tianlang is the master of the Manor of Sirius outside Tiantang City. He's good with long and short swords, tall and muscular, a central figure in the martial world of this generation. In addition, legend has it that Chu Tianlang has an ultimate skill called Sleeve Concealment. There are mysterious hidden weapons hidden in his sleeves … I wonder if he has other tricks up his sleeves … "
Ximen Wanli's gaze flickered. "Hmm? Long and short swords, the culprit also uses long and short swords … Sleeve Concealment … doesn't that mean the culprit also has Sleeve Concealment? "
"Also … Chu Tianlang's cultivation base is extremely high, at least a sixth peak cultivation base …"
"Sixth peak … the lowest, which means that he's most likely a seventh heaven, maybe even a seventh heaven pinnacle. Even if he's an eighth heaven, it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?"
"Yes."
"Hmph, does ol 'third have a conflict with this Chu Tianlang? Or perhaps, among those who were bullied and offended by ol 'third, is there anyone related to Chu Tianlang? "
"On the surface … there's no relationship. But, they both like pretty girls … "
"No relationship … that's the most suspicious one." Ximen Wanli snorted, a sharp glint in his eyes.
"Second young master … Although Chu Tianlang's characteristics match the culprit's, it's too similar. There must be something fishy about this. It's as if we're trying to frame him," someone said with a frown.
"Frame him?" Ximen Wanli snorted coldly. "So what if we're framing him? Chu Tianlang is still our number one, our number one target. "
"If it's Chu Tianlang, we'll end this once we get rid of him. If it wasn't Chu Tianlang who did it, we can capture Chu Tianlang and slowly search through his enemies. We can still find the real culprit. Whether it's him or not, we have to get rid of this Chu Tianlang! "Ximen Wanli said.
"We can … talk about it …" The man hesitated for a moment and suggested.
"Negotiate … hehe …" Ximen Wanli sneered. "If we act rashly and alert the enemy … are you going to bear the responsibility?"
The complexion of that expert from the Ximen Clan immediately turned ashen. "I … I don't dare."
"If you don't dare, then shut up!" Ximen Wanli snorted and said sternly, "If news of this leaks out, I will hold you responsible!"
That person's face instantly turned pale. He regretted saying those words just now.
Ximen Wanli paced back and forth slowly, his eyes flickering. "News from the clan has yet to arrive. However, I reckon that the family's people are already on the way. "
"Such a big thing has happened. No matter what, someone has to pay the price."
"This Chu Tianlang … we must capture him before the family experts arrive!"
"Otherwise, no one will be able to escape responsibility for this matter!"
Ximen Wanli's voice was gloomy, but everyone present suddenly came to a realization.
The main problem now was not to find the real culprit for revenge but to find a scapegoat before the family experts arrived to quell the family's anger.
If they didn't even have such a person, then when the people from the clan came, it would really be their unlucky days that had arrived.
Time was of the essence.
This meant that it had to be Chu Tianlang. Even if he hadn't done it, it had to be him now! Who asked him to fit the bill so well?
"Chu Tianlang, the information on the Manor of Sirius must be quick!" Ximen Wanli's expression was cold.
"Yes!"
"Analyze it quickly!"
"Yes!"
However, the analysis of the Manor of Sirius caused the Ximen Clan to suck in a sharp breath. While the Manor of Sirius was nothing in the eyes of the entire Ximen Clan, they were no match for the Manor of Sirius!
The Manor of Sirius was a behemoth in this area!
There were countless experts, and their relationships were complicated and intertwined. The security was tight!
"Invite Young Master Dongfang, Young Master Nangong, and Young Master Beiye with my name card." Ximen Wanli snorted. "Let's discuss this. How can the tiny Manor of Sirius withstand a single blow from the four noble families? At most, I will owe them a favor. "
"Young master's plan is brilliant."
…
The sun had just risen when the four noble young masters had finished their discussion. Each of the four noble families would send out fifty experts to annihilate the Manor of Sirius!
Only a seventh peak elder from the Dongfang Family had come but this person was unwilling to act.
Among the remaining experts from the four noble families, the highest cultivation base was only the pinnacle of the sixth peak.
"If so, how about Elder Shangguan hold the fort?" Ximen Wanli asked for the next best thing.
"That's fine too."
"In that case, we have six sixth peak experts, eight fifth peak experts, and the rest are all fourth peak experts. That's enough to deal with the Manor of Sirius! "
Dongfang Qingkong fanned himself. "If so, why don't we join in the fun as well?"
"We'll have to inform the authorities in Tiantang City. If the government's army appears when we attack the Manor of Sirius … it won't be appropriate. "
"Don't worry, I've arranged everything."
"Thank you, everyone. If there's anything you need me to do in the future, I, Ximen Wanli, will do my best." Ximen Wanli cupped his fists solemnly.
"Brother Ximen, you're too kind. This is how it should be … "
"The four noble families help each other and are of the same branch. This is how it should be."
"When do we begin?"
"In the afternoon."
"In the afternoon, before the sun sets, we begin. We must end the battle before the sky turns dark. " A cruel smile hung on Ximen Wanli's face. "I don't want to do it at night, I want to destroy it in the day!"
"I want the world to know what happens to those who provoke the four noble families!"
"Brother Ximen is so domineering, so heroic!"
"Hahaha … it's a promise then!"
…
In the afternoon.
This battle, which would have a far-reaching impact, had suddenly begun without any warning!
The Manor of Sirius was almost defenseless. Suddenly, they were surrounded by enemies from all sides. Four troops attacked from four directions, killing anyone they saw. Blood flowed like waves as they charged towards the center of the manor.
Before the Manor of Sirius could react, blood had already flowed like a river.
Chu Tianlang had a feast with a group of martial artists in the afternoon and was still drunk, sleeping on his bed. Suddenly, cries of war shook the heavens. He sat up abruptly and staggered dizzily. He felt a splitting headache.
"What's going on?" Chu Tianlang hollered, jumping up at the same time. His sword was already in his hand as the mystical art in his body circulated madly. Wisps of white mist that reeked of alcohol emitted from his body. At the same time, he extended his left hand and a chilling force manifested. A cup of tea on the table had already been frozen into ice. He crushed it and applied it to his face.
With a shudder, he sobered up immediately.
A manor servant scrambled into the hall. "Manor Lord, it's bad. There are bandits attacking our manor. They're already inside …"
"Bandits?" Chu Tianlang was at a loss. "Where did these bandits come from?"
After so many years of peace and peace, the Manor of Sirius' reputation had spread far and wide. Who dared to stroke the tiger's whiskers? Why would there be a large group of bandits?
"I don't know where these bandits came from, but their cultivation base is strong. The number of casualties in the manor is uncountable. The enemy is cruel and merciless. Even Fifth Master Qin has died in battle …"
The servant was trembling.
Chu Tianlang's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, sprinting out of the hall like a comet.
The rapid ringing of bells and whistles had become a cacophony of sounds. The martial force of the Manor of Sirius was displayed from all directions as they charged towards the four noble families who had charged in, shouting battle cries.
Chu Tianlang was already at the highest bell tower of the Manor of Sirius in a flash as he looked down. Thick smoke billowed in all directions, waves of blood billowed as battle cries thundered.
Corpses littered the ground as far as the eye could see.
The enemy was extremely powerful. The ordinary guards of the manor were no match for them, collapsing with a single touch.
A few silhouettes dashed out from the manor like lightning; the experts of the manor were on the move.
Chu Tianlang howled into the sky as he flew out like a comet, choosing the direction with the most frenzied killing spree as he met the enemy head-on.
Two beams of sword light shot through the sky; before they had even landed, two men had already been sliced into two halves. Chu Tianlang landed with a loud crash, his sword slashing viciously onto the sword of the man opposite him. The man could not hold on to his sword and it flew out of his hand.
"Stop it!" Chu Tianlang roared and hollered, "Who are you people? Why are you attacking the Manor of Sirius for no reason? "
This group of people was murderous with bloodshot eyes. Their attacks were ruthless, even more so than those from the other three directions. All of them were highly skilled with profound mystical skills. Chu Tianlang really could not remember when he had offended such people.
The other side had indeed stopped. A young man dressed in white walked out with his arms behind his back, his long eyes looking down at Chu Tianlang as he said faintly, "You are Chu Tianlang?"
Chu Tianlang held back his anger and said, "That's right. Is there some kind of misunderstanding? "
A mocking smile hung on the young man's face. "Misunderstanding? Heh heh heh … "
He sneered as he looked at the twin swords in the man's hands, the long sword in his right hand and the short sword in his left. Then, he sized up Chu Tianlang's muscular body for a moment before he suddenly spun and retreated, shouting, "Kill! Leave no one alive in the Manor of Sirius! "
Chu Tianlang was enraged. "You!"
However, the other party's men were already attacking in a frenzy. The leading elder had bloodshot eyes and looked like he had lost his mind. It was as if he had killed Chu Tianlang's father and taken his wife. With a loud roar, he charged forward without a care for his own safety.
Clang!
Chu Tianlang parried the other's blow and shouted angrily, "You should at least explain why you're doing this! We're all people of the underworld, there must be a cause and effect for everything. "
However, his voice was quickly drowned in the murderous cries; no one bothered with what he said. In an instant, the manor guests who had followed Chu Tianlang out were all sprawled on the ground.
