At the same time, the two black-clothed experts who had been standing beside Yu Manlou finally moved. They silently flew to the sky above the lawn and unsheathed their swords at the same time. Like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, they swung their swords. Wherever the sword qi passed, the flowers and leaves would be chopped into pieces and scattered into the air.
On the rooftop, everyone looked at the fleeing Meng WuQing and the rest before looking down at the Family Head who seemed as though he was about to face a great enemy. In that moment, they could not make up their minds. Should they chase after the Family Head or join in the attack?
But in that moment of hesitation, the fleeing figures of Meng WuQing and the rest had already disappeared into the night.
With a boom, Yu Manlou's powerful palm strike created a large hole in the ground. The two black-clothed men also flew past with their swords at the same time, but to everyone's surprise, there was no movement at all. It was as if Yu Manlou's palm strike and the two black-clothed men's swords had slashed through the air and into nothingness.
With a series of 'shua shua' sounds, the grass and leaves that were sliced fell to the ground.
Yu ManLou's hawk-like eyes stared at the direction of his palm as he sneered. While he did not know what method the other party used to avoid his attack, Yu ManLou was certain that there was definitely someone in that direction! Even if that person had purposely changed the trajectory of the hidden weapon when he attacked, how could he hide it from Yu ManLou?
Yu ManLou did not move and the two black-robed men returned to their positions behind him. Everyone on the rooftop slowly gathered around. Naturally, there was no movement from the shadows either.
Flying in the night wind, everyone's clothes fluttered in the wind. However, the atmosphere was so heavy that it was suffocating.
"You, are you still not willing to come out? How can a real man hide his head and show his tail?! " Yu ManLou's voice sounded out without any warning, "Our Tamago has always minded our own business with your Above Heavens. But to think that your Above Heavens Sect would dare to push your luck, causing our two families to meet on the battlefield. This is truly regrettable." Yu ManLou's voice was filled with regret.
The grass and trees swayed with the wind as though they were sighing along with Yu ManLou's mood.
Behind Yu ManLou, the two black-robed men looked at each other in astonishment. Didn't the Family Head say that the one hiding in the shadows was Ling Tian? Why did he say that it was someone from Above Heavens? Was he planning to deceive everyone in Tamago and hide the fact that Third young noble Yu was colluding with Above Heavens? However, with Yu ManLou's status, there was no need for him to do so.
While the two black-robed men did not know, Ling Tian, who was hiding in the shadows, knew clearly in his heart. Just now, he had made use of the Divine Shocking Dragon Formula to throw out a large number of silver needles. At the moment when the silver needles were thrown out, the uneasiness in his heart grew and he quickly left his original position. It was fortunate that he had left in time. If his reaction was just a little slower, he would have been injured by the three black-robed men. His clothes were already drenched in cold sweat.
Seeing Yu ManLou's reaction and his pretentious words, Ling Tian was certain that Yu ManLou was certain that he was the one hiding in the shadows. However, Yu ManLou still said that it was someone from Above Heavens. This made Ling Tian look down on Yu ManLou in his heart.
Yu ManLou was indeed a wily old fox! Because Ling Tian was still Yu ManLou's niece-in-law in name and the husband of Jade Princess Yu BingYan, Yu ManLou and most of the scholars in Tamago couldn't wait to tear this niece-in-law of his into pieces. However, they couldn't let the world know that his father-in-law had such malicious intentions towards his niece-in-law. As such, a huge hat was placed on Yu ManLou's head.
Even if they were to find out that this person was Ling Tian in the future, they could say that they had killed the wrong person. As for whether others would believe them or not, that wasn't important. The most important thing was that they couldn't kill his niece-in-law in broad daylight. Ling Tian finally understood why all the experts in Tamago came out in full force for his little scheme to sow discord between Yu ManLou and Yu ManLou. Yu ManLou's true target was actually Yu ManLou. The one he wanted to scheme against was actually Yu ManLou!
However, how did Yu ManLou know that this matter was related to Yu ManLou? This was something that Ling Tian couldn't figure out.
"You can't escape anymore." Yu ManLou said slowly, "You actually dared to interfere in the internal affairs of my Tamago and sow discord between my two sons. However, on the account of Above Heavens, if you come out on your own accord, I can guarantee that I will leave you with a complete corpse. "
Yu ManLou insisted that Above Heavens was Above Heavens. Firstly, it was to confirm Ling Tian's identity. Secondly, it was for his subordinates to hear. Ling Tian was certain that Yu ManLou's words weren't meant for him.
First, you want to establish your reputation as the Holy Maiden before acting like a whore. Old fogey, you are really something! Ling Tian cursed in his heart. Perhaps it was because he had underestimated this old fogey that everything had been going smoothly. What was the difference between leaving him with a complete corpse and chopping him into pieces? Wasn't it the same as dying?
As expected, the experts of Tamago around Yu ManLou all revealed looks of hatred for a common enemy. Their gazes towards the shadows became more and more unfriendly.
Yu ManLou sneered in his heart. While Yu ManLou didn't dare to reveal Ling Tian's true identity, he was certain that Ling Tian wouldn't dare to reveal his identity so openly either.
"Search!" Yu ManLou waved his hand and gave the order. Dozens of people charged forward like wolves and tigers.
"Reporting to Family Head, there is no one!"
"Reporting to Family Head, there is no one!"
"Reporting …"
Hearing the reports of his subordinates, Yu ManLou's face became uglier and uglier. He had never expected that the other party would be able to successfully hide his tracks under such circumstances. This was simply inconceivable! Even the number one assassin of the First Pavilion might not be able to hide so well, but the other party had done it!
Even now, Yu ManLou could clearly sense that the other party was still here and hadn't left! Furthermore, the other party didn't have the time to leave! But just where was he hiding? In such a small area, how was the other party able to hide from everyone's eyes?
Such a concealment technique was definitely worthy of being called the number one in the world!
Was Ling Tian really so impressive?!
"Admirable, admirable! Your concealment technique is truly unparalleled! Even if the number one assassin in the world, the head of the First Pavilion, was here, he would have to admit defeat! " Yu ManLou said sincerely with a tinge of respect. This was something that everyone could hear clearly. "However, you have made a mistake, a huge mistake! Just this mistake alone is enough to render it useless even if you have twice the concealment technique! "
Yu ManLou said calmly, "You have only made use of the night to conceal yourself. While the flowers and plants here are dense, there is nowhere for you to hide during the day. There are only two hours left until daybreak. While we can afford to wait, can you?! "
As he said that, Yu ManLou bellowed, "Archers, lock down the vantage point. The rest of you, stay where you are and don't move! From now on, everyone will stay here. No one is allowed to leave, move, or make a sound until daybreak! Those who move will be killed without mercy! "
The moment he said that, everyone acknowledged in unison. No one dared to defy the orders of their family head. However, there were a few people who were grumbling in their hearts!
The first was naturally Ling Tian. Yu ManLou was right. Ling Tian was only making use of the night. If he waited until daybreak, he wouldn't be able to maintain his perfect concealment technique and his location would definitely be discovered. Once daybreak arrived, he would probably be unable to escape. Thus, before daybreak, Ling Tian had to find a way to escape!
As for the second person, it would be Head Deacon Yu ChaoRan. Yu LiuFeng was still waiting for news from Yu ManLou. The two sides split up and Yu ChaoRan brought men to surround Yu LiuFeng's courtyard. Both sides agreed that the moment Yu ChaoRan succeeded, Yu LiuFeng would immediately take action to capture Yu LiuFeng. At that time, Yu LiuFeng would hand Yu LiuFeng over to Yu ManLou.
Yu ManLou had a total of three sons. The eldest, Yu LiuFeng, was originally extremely outstanding and everyone in Tamago believed that he would be Yu ManLou's successor. However, it was a pity that he died in the hands of Ling Jian not long ago. Now, there were only two of them left. If Yu LiuFeng were to make use of this opportunity to defeat Yu LiuFeng, he would be the only one left! Regardless of whether it was hegemony or glory, Yu LiuFeng was the only one who had the qualifications to inherit it! And this time, as long as he had solid evidence, he would definitely be able to beat Yu Liushui down to the ground! This was something that both Yu LiuFeng and Yu ChaoRan firmly believed in!
However, while their operation was going smoothly and they had successfully taken down the stronghold, they did not manage to capture a single person alive. While these people knew that Yu LiuFeng was in Yu ManLou's courtyard, who would be able to say for sure without any evidence? While Yu LiuFeng was more suspicious, as long as he did not admit to it, no one would be able to do anything to him!
The two sides had to work together seamlessly to force Yu LiuFeng into a corner. But now that the news had not reached Yu ManLou, if Yu LiuFeng could not wait and made a move, the matter would be over.
What kind of crime was killing one's own brother?
At that time, both of his sons would have committed such a grave crime and the two sides would cancel each other out. No matter how vicious Yu ManLou was, he could not possibly kill both of his sons at the same time.
Time passed slowly and Yu ChaoRan stood quietly with cold sweat dripping down his face. If the family head were to know that he was involved in this matter, what would he think?
The sound of the wind gradually died down and the coolness of the night slowly disappeared. Following that was the fresh scent of dawn. The darkness of the night gradually dissipated and dawn was about to arrive. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters.
