Yu ManLou was angered to the point his entire body was trembling. Just how difficult was it to obtain such a good situation after the Martial Order Medallion owner was chasing after Ling Tian? For the sake of this current situation, Yu ManLou had put in so much effort. He was only waiting for Ling Tian to die and Sky Bearing to descend into chaos. At that time, the entire Sky Bearing, along with the Ling family, would be in the hands of Tamago. At that time, with the support of the Northern Wei and the support of Han TieXuan from the Western Han, Yu ManLou would then be able to mobilize his troops to conquer the world!
Yu ManLou was more than 80% confident that this plan would succeed! Yu ManLou was even confident that before the battle with the Shui Family, he would be able to sweep through Heavenly Star like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. Within two years, he would be able to establish his hegemony!
For this, he didn't even hesitate to sacrifice his beloved niece, Yu BingYan, and almost fell out with his second brother. In his heart, he was willing to do anything for this goal!
However, he never imagined that at such a crucial moment, Above Heavens, who had been in seclusion for a long time, would suddenly appear and interfere, causing both sides to suffer heavy injuries! This meant that Ling Tian's life couldn't be taken care of for the time being. If Ling Tian's injuries were severe, there was a high chance that Ling Tian would be able to escape for half a year. At that time, there would be huge trouble!
Yu ManLou was angered to the point he almost vomited blood!
All the arrangements were made with the assumption that Ling Tian would definitely die. If Ling Tian were to really escape for half a year and return to Sky Bearing … the Ling family would naturally not dare to touch Yu ZhanShui and Yu ZhanKong. But if Ling Tian were to return alive, that fellow would definitely not give him any face! That fellow had never hesitated to kill those who deserved to be killed …
At that time, all the arrangements would be for naught! Such an outcome was something that Yu ManLou couldn't accept no matter what!
Yu ManLou paced back and forth and wanted to say something. But seeing the expressions of his two brothers, he swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue. Of his two younger brothers, one of them had taken good care of Ling Tian for the sake of his daughter. If his eldest son, Yu Liu Yun, had not been killed, the three brothers would have turned against each other long ago. Therefore, if he wanted to deal with Ling Tian, he could never tell his second brother. As for his third brother, he did not know how he had been bewitched by Ling Tian. He had actually unconsciously placed himself on the side of Ling Tian …
Taking in a deep breath, Yu ManLou forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "How are the arrangements for the assassinations going?"
Yu ManTang bowed slightly and said, "Big brother, there are already experienced and capable officials taking over. I believe that there shouldn't be too many problems."
Yu Manlou grunted and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he clapped his hands and a crisp sound rang out.
Following this crisp sound, a black-robed figure appeared in the Martial Pointer Pavilion in front of the three brothers. In his hands was a piece of white paper filled with words.
Yu ManLou asked calmly, "What are the results?"
The black-robed man replied respectfully, "Reporting to Family Head, this subordinate has investigated all of the officials who were assassinated. Our initial conclusion is that six of them are spies sent by the Water of Heavenly Wind Family to our Northern Wei. There are also a dozen others whose identities are unclear and whose origins are unknown, so we are unable to confirm them. All of them were once subjects of the Northern Wei's imperial court. "
"Ah?" Yu ManTang and Yu ManTian were both shocked, "Water of Heavenly Wind?"
"It is indeed the Shui Family! So this is the truth! "Yu ManLou let out a bone-chilling laugh," I almost wronged the Ling Family. " Taking two steps forward, a smile filled with killing intent appeared on Yu ManLou's face, "Since the Shui Family is so heartless, then don't blame me for being unjust! Send down my orders. Two days later, at midnight, all of these newly promoted officials will be executed! Not a single one of them will be spared! "
"Big brother, isn't this a little inappropriate?" Yu ManTang frowned, "There are forty to fifty of them. Could they all be from the Shui Family? If we were to kill the wrong person, wouldn't we … "
Yu ManLou laughed coldly, "Kill the wrong person? So what? Those who achieve great things do not bother about small details. Even if we were to kill one or two of them by mistake, we would still be doing our best for the future of Tamago! "
Yu ManTang and Yu ManTian remained silent. They did not know what to say. Even if they wanted to object, would it be of any use?
Yu ManLou looked at the unhappiness on their faces and could not help but let out a disappointed snort, "No matter what, our Yu Family has already opened up a few battlefronts and under the instigation of some people, we have already become the target of public criticism! It can even be said that we have already reached the point of life and death. We no longer have any path of retreat and can only move forward. Do you think that Liu Yun's death was so simple?! I know that all of you are dissatisfied with me, regardless of whether it's BingYan's marriage or the things I've done to the Ling Family, I also know that it's unreasonable. However, I know that everything I've done is out of consideration for the future of the Ling Family. So, I hope that no matter how dissatisfied you are with me in your hearts, you must listen to me now! Both of you and I are the descendants of Tamago. Compared to the prosperity of Tamago, everything else is insignificant! Not to mention killing a few innocent people, even if we have to slaughter the entire Bright Jade City, we will not hesitate! As the saying goes, a general's success is built on the withered bones of ten thousand men. This is probably the situation in front of us right now! "
Yu ManTang and Yu ManTian's eyes flashed past their faces and the two of them lowered their heads. The two of them did not agree with Yu ManLou's words and felt that this decision was too extreme. However, the two of them had to admit that compared to the life and death of the entire Tamago Family, everything was insignificant! At such a moment, anyone could be sacrificed and anything could be done. Even if they had to sacrifice Yu BingYan and destroy the Ling family, it wouldn't be impossible as long as it was beneficial to their family!
However, was the current situation really as serious as what Yu ManLou had said?
Not only were the two of them guessing in their hearts, Yu ManLou was also calculating in his heart. Above Heavens had unexpectedly interfered and was actually able to fight with the number one expert in the world, Ling Tian. If that was the case, Ling Tian would no longer be in any danger. Was he really going to release the tiger back into the mountains? If that was the case, wouldn't all his plans be for naught? Furthermore, the strength of Above Heavens had to be taken into consideration as well. The wealth of the Xiao family was something that no other power could match. With the aid of Above Heavens, they would definitely become a powerful enemy!
The Xiao family would definitely be a formidable opponent in his fight for hegemony!
However, the next step would still require him to focus all his attention on dealing with Ling Tian! After all, this fellow's killing prowess was the most detestable and he was located in the most important part of the continent! Since Justice was unable to kill Ling Tian, then it wouldn't matter if he, Tamago, did it personally! As long as his goal was achieved, there was no need to care about how he achieved it or what methods he used to achieve his goal.
However, these two brothers of his obviously had a special relationship with Ling Tian. Thus, the moment this mission was launched, the two of them definitely could not participate. If not, not only would they not be able to obtain their help, they might even ruin the mission! Why not … en, this way, he would be able to kill two birds with one stone!
"Second brother, there is something that I do not feel at ease leaving it to someone else. It is best for you to make the trip personally." Yu ManLou said with a grave expression, "This matter concerns the life and death of our Tamago. You must complete this matter with all your might. Only then will our Tamago not have to worry about the future."
Seeing how serious Yu ManLou was, Yu ManTang also became nervous, "Big brother, please speak. This little brother will do his best. Since it is for the family, I will not regret it even if I have to die!"
Yu ManLou let out a long sigh and looked out of the window. His voice was distant and desolate, "Back then, I had interacted with the head of the Lei Family, Lei ZhenTian, a few times. The Lei Family wanted to enter Heavenly Star Continent many times. However, the moment the Lei Family enters Heavenly Star Continent, the balance of power in Heavenly Star Continent would be broken. Thus, I did not agree to their request! But now, our Tamago is being watched by the Xiao family, DongFang family, Ling family, Shui family, and many other powers. They are all eyeing us covetously and there is a possibility that they will attack us together. Furthermore, our family is currently facing internal and external troubles. Such a situation is rarely seen in a thousand years! If we are not careful, we will definitely lose everything! "
Yu ManTang agreed softly and furrowed his brows in deep thought.
"The strength of our Tamago is currently too spread out. The moment something happens, it will be hard for us to take care of both sides." Yu ManLou continued, "Thus, we urgently need a new power to enter the Heavenly Star Continent. We need to divert the attention of the various powers away from our Tamago. Only then can we be as stable as Mount Tai! Even if we cannot divert the attention of the various powers, the moment a new power enters Heavenly Star, it will definitely attract the attention of the various powers. At that time, our Tamago will have a chance. Furthermore, the strength of the Xiao family has far exceeded our initial expectations and we need a new power to keep them in check. The Lei family is the most suitable candidate for this. Thus, we need Yu ManLou to complete this matter. But if someone else were to go, firstly, I will not be at ease and secondly, the weight of the person would not be enough. If I were to go personally, there would not be anyone in my family to hold the fort. Thus, after thinking about it, I feel that only second brother can go personally will Lei ZhenTian place importance on this matter. "
Yu ManTang furrowed his brows and said, "Big brother, isn't this a little inappropriate? Firstly, what kind of name should I use to invite the Lei family? Even if big brother can give me the authority, I might not be able to make the decision, right? Secondly, how much benefits do we have to pay? Or what conditions should we give the Lei family? This time is different from the previous times. After all, we are the ones who took the initiative to invite them. Furthermore, we want to make use of them to keep the Xiao family in check. If we do not show sufficient sincerity, it will be hard for us to reach a consensus! Thirdly, as the saying goes, it is easier to invite the devil than to send him away. Once our crisis is resolved, what will happen to the Lei family? If we allow them to enter Heavenly Star, it will definitely be a huge problem in the future. This matter cannot be left unguarded. Otherwise, we will end up with a wolf at the front door and a tiger at the back door! If we end up making a fool of ourselves, this … "
