"How dare you, Bei Bo Ruo, covet my Hundred Herb Hall. We've given you so many precious pills every year in vain! Even if we have to fight to the death today, we will not compromise. " Su Xuebo gritted his teeth in anger. He then turned to Su Hexuan and said, "Father, leave this thief to me."
Su Hexuan was slightly taken aback by Su Xuebo's sudden request, but surprisingly, he did not object. Instead, he nodded and said, "Be careful."
A longsword suddenly appeared in Su Xuebo's hand. With a flash of sword light, it seemed like he was about to attack Wang Hailin. However, at this moment, the sword in Su Xuebo's hand suddenly changed its target and stabbed towards Su Hexuan!
This sudden turn of events was out of everyone's expectations. The betrayal of the Hall Masters might have been due to threats and bribes, but no one expected that Su Xuebo, Su Hexuan's biological son, would actually try to kill his own father.
While the crowd was still dumbfounded, Su Xuebo's sword was already stabbing towards Su Hexuan. The ferocity of the sword showed that it was an attack with his full strength. Su Xuebo clearly wanted to kill Su Hexuan with a single strike, without giving him any chance to react.
However, just as Su Xuebo's sword was about to stab Su Hexuan, a ripple-like shield suddenly appeared around Su Hexuan's body and forcefully blocked Su Xuebo's sure-kill attack!
The successive changes were too much for the crowd to take in. They had no idea what was going on. Su Xuebo, on the other hand, was shocked. He had expected Su Hexuan to die, but he did not expect Su Hexuan to be prepared and use an Eight Star Spiritual Talisman to block his attack.
His sneak attack had failed. Su Xuebo knew that he had been exposed. He did not dare to stay any longer and immediately increased the distance between him and Su Hexuan. He rushed to Wang Hailin's side, but Wang Hailin did not attack Su Xuebo. At this point, everyone understood that Su Xuebo was also a traitor. He was in cahoots with Wang Hailin and the others.
Su Hexuan did not show any anger at his own son's sneak attack. Instead, a deep sense of disappointment flashed across his eyes. He quietly looked at Su Xuebo and said, "I was only guarding against a traitor. I did not expect that the first person to attack me would be you."
"How did you know there would be a traitor?" Su Xuebo couldn't help but ask. Just like how Su Hexuan didn't expect him to launch a sneak attack, he also didn't expect Su Hexuan to be on guard.
"I told grandfather." A crisp voice rang out from behind. A man and a woman walked out from the back of the hall. Upon closer inspection, if the person who had spoken was not Su Ye, who else could it be?
"Su Ye!"
"Eldest Miss!"
Su Ye's appearance shocked everyone once again. They could not help but look at the 'Su Ye' that Wang Hailin had kidnapped, and then at the 'Su Ye' that had just appeared. They could not help but feel a little dizzy. How could there be two Su Yees?
When he saw the real Su Ye, Wang Hailin couldn't help but feel a little angry. He immediately put down the knife on the fake Su Ye's neck. No wonder Su Hexuan didn't seem to care about Su Ye's life at all. He already knew that the real Su Ye had returned to Hundred Herb Hall a long time ago. However, with Su Ye's strength, how could she have rushed here in such a short time to inform Su Hexuan of their plan?
Su Hexuan did not care about the reactions of the others. He continued to look at Su Xuebo and asked, "Can you tell me why you did this?"
No one could understand the pain in Su Hexuan's heart after being betrayed by his own son. It was a pain that came from the bottom of his heart. Su Hexuan, who had been standing straight all this time, seemed a little old at this moment.
Seeing that the real Su Ye had appeared, Su Xuebo knew that there was no need for him to hide anything. Su Hexuan must have already found out about the plan from Su Ye.
He laughed coldly and said, "I am your eldest son. Instead of passing the great Hundred Herb Hall to me, you actually wanted to pass it to this little girl. Tell me, how could I tolerate this?"
Su Hexuan shook his head, "If you were skilled in alchemy, then the position of Hall Master would naturally be yours. However, since you prefer martial arts, how could you manage the Hundred Herb Hall, which started with alchemy? I originally wanted Su Ye to take over the alchemy branch of the Hundred Herb Hall, while you take over the martial arts branch. I never thought that you would be so impatient, and even collude with outsiders to attack me. Haha, I, Su Hexuan, really have a good son. "
"Now that I think about it, you deliberately wanted me to bring forward the birthday banquet? You knew that Su Ye was ambushed and successfully escaped. You were worried that the matter would be exposed, so you brought forward the birthday banquet. Unfortunately, the heavens don't help the unfaithful, unfilial, and unjust. Su Ye still managed to rush to my side at the crucial moment. "
Su Ye was also extremely disappointed in Su Xuebo. She said, "Eldest Uncle, if you want the position of Hall Master, you can tell me. I definitely won't fight you for it. However, why did you do such a disgraceful thing?"
Su Xuebo threw his head back and laughed. "Discuss it with you? You put it nicely. The great Hundred Herb Hall has abundant funds and extraordinary martial arts. How could you not be tempted? "
With that, he snorted coldly again. "Do you think that you can win just because you know the plan? Beibo Ruo mobilized such a great force this time, how could she allow it to fail? The experts of the Nine Dragon Empire are all being held back by Beibo Ruo. No one will be able to rush here in a short period of time. Su Hexuan, today, you have to give up the position of Hundred Herb Hall's Hall Master! "
Xia Xi finally understood the ins and outs of the matter. Obviously, Su Xuebo was the biggest traitor in Hundred Herb Hall. He had colluded with Beibo Ruo to plan this operation against Hundred Herb Hall. They wanted to take advantage of Su Hexuan's birthday banquet to control all the core members of Hundred Herb Hall.
Xia Xi shook his head lightly and looked at Su Xuebo. "Su Xuebo, I used to call you big brother in vain. I didn't expect you to do such a thing. Since I, Xia Xi, am here today, I definitely won't sit and watch you succeed."
"Fourth Prince, don't be in a hurry to win people's hearts." Wang Hailin smiled. "You're like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river. You can't even protect yourself. We don't plan on letting you go today. Although our main target is Hundred Herb Hall, if we can take this opportunity to do something to the Nine Dragons Empire, we're more than happy to do so."
"How dare you be so rude to the Fourth Prince. You deserve to die!" A few of Xia Xi's bodyguards immediately yelled out in anger. At this crucial moment, those who were able to be by Xia Xi's side were all at least in the middle stage of the Origin Realm. The strongest bodyguard was even a late stage Origin Realm expert!
Wang Hailin ignored these guards. Instead, he turned to the fake Su Ye and said respectfully, "Senior Yin Sha, I'll have to trouble you to help this time."
Hearing the two words "Yin Sha", Su Hexuan, Xia Xi, and the others' expressions changed!
Everyone knew that there were three Grand Void Realm experts in the Dark Fiend Cult: Yin Sha, Ghost Sha, and Devil Sha. Among them, Yin Sha was the leader, Ghost Sha was the most mysterious, and Devil Sha was the strongest.
Even though it wasn't the strongest Devil Fiend, even if it was a Yin Fiend, it was still an Origin Realm expert. With so many people here, no one could go against it.
The fake Su Ye giggled. With a slight wave of her hand, her appearance instantly changed, turning into an unfamiliar middle-aged beautiful woman. This was her real appearance. The leader of the Dark Fiend Cult, Yin Sha Hu Menglan!
Xia Xi stared at Hu Menglan and said in a deep voice, "Leader Hu, if I remember correctly, my Nine Dragons Dynasty has never had any grudges with the Dark Fiend Cult. I wonder what Leader Hu means by this?"
Hu Menglan laughed softly, "There were no grudges in the past, but it doesn't mean there are no grudges now. Everyone is just doing it for their own benefit. Moreover, I only made a move on the Hundred Herb Hall. What has it got to do with the Nine Dragons Dynasty? Since when did the Hundred Herb Hall belong to the Nine Dragons Dynasty?"
Just as Hu Menglan finished speaking, a clear voice sounded, "You didn't make a move on the Nine Dragons Dynasty? Just like the Southern Guardian King's disappearance, it was Gu Tianying's doing, right? "
This explosive news instantly attracted everyone's attention. All of them were gathered on the speaker, Lu Xuan.
Xia Xi's breathing quickened. He looked at Lu Xuan and asked, "Uncle's disappearance was actually Gu Tianying's doing?"
Regarding the Southern Guardian King's sudden disappearance, everyone from the Nine Dragons Dynasty was a little puzzled. They didn't expect Lu Xuan to say that it was Gui Sha's doing.
Lu Xuan nodded. "That's right. Miss Su and I were there at that time. The Southern Guardian King learned of Bei Bo Ruo's plan from us and was about to inform the Nine Dragons Dynasty, but Gui Sha suddenly appeared. It was because the Southern Guardian King and Grandmaster Jueming fought Gu Tianying together that Miss Su and I were able to escape."
"Dark Fiend Cult, if anything happens to Uncle, I, Xia Xi, will not live under the same sky with you!" Xia Xi shouted angrily. He had the closest relationship with the Southern Guardian King, Xia Zhengwen. Now that he knew that the Dark Fiend Cult was behind this, how could he tolerate it?
Hu Menglan didn't care about Xia Xi's threat at all. Instead, she looked at Lu Xuan with interest and said, "It seems like Su Ye being able to reach the Hundred Herb Hall in time is all thanks to you?"
Lu Xuan smiled and didn't say anything, which was undoubtedly a tacit agreement.
Hu Menglan nodded lightly. "It seems like you really are our bane. If it wasn't for you, things might not be so troublesome. Since that's the case, I'll get rid of you first. "
Hu Menglan didn't make any movements. She just stared straight at Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan suddenly felt as if his soul spirit was going to leave his body.
But his soul spirit power was extremely strong. He instantly activated the secret soul spirit technique, the Soul Shocking Technique. A wave of powerful soul spirit power violently pierced towards Hu Menglan.
Hu Menglan couldn't help but look at Lu Xuan in astonishment. She was a Virtualized Realm existence. How could she fail to use the Dark Fiend Soul Stealing Technique on a kid who was only at the initial stage of the Origin Realm? And this kid seemed to know some secret soul spirit techniques.
