"Retreat! Retreat quickly! "
Elder Dao shouted and quickly retreated. He didn't bring all the people of the Hehuan Sect tonight. He didn't expect to encounter such a dilemma.
Suddenly, he sniffed. Although the rain covered it, he still smelled a very slight rancid smell under the robe of the black-robed man.
Corpse puppet!
It turned out to be a corpse puppet!
Elder Dao suddenly realized and then shouted angrily, "Lianshi Cult, you and I are irreconcilable!"
Every move of the eight inborn corpse puppets was a killing move. In the blink of an eye, many people around him died. After the news spread to the Sect, he didn't know whether he could keep his position as an elder or not!
Just when Elder Dao thought that he had escaped from the attack range of the corpse puppet, a bright sword light flashed behind him.
"Crack!"
A bloody arm was cut off and fell into the muddy pool!
"Ah ah ah ah!"
Elder Dao screamed and went away in an instant. He didn't care about the people around him and fled alone.
Without the protection of the elder, a group of people who had just reached the first or second hurdle of the inborn hurdle were quickly slaughtered by the corpse puppets. Fang Yuan lifted his bamboo hat and went to the roadside to pick up the broken arm. He poured the genuine energy into it. The next moment, Elder Dao's right arm burst into blood mist with a "bang" sound.
After doing this, Fang Yuan glanced at Dongfang Rui who was looking at him. He jumped onto the eaves and disappeared without any hesitation. If he could, he preferred to hold the umbrella quietly for Su Li.
Of course, he was also very happy to help Su Li to frame others.
Everyone disappeared, leaving only corpses on the ground. Dongfang Rui took a deep breath. There was a faint horror in his eyes. Was that the arrangement that Su Li said? She had such a senior around her.
Fang Yuan returned to Su Li and took the umbrella handle from her hand. Su Li said with a smile, "You are in the third hurdle of the inborn hurdle, but you can cut off the arm of a person in the fifth hurdle of the inborn hurdle. Your Ao Sword Skills have made good progress."
Fang Yuan slightly smiled and bowed his head, "There are still many things that I don't understand. I just mastered a little bit."
"I am not much different from you. In the future, we can exchange experiences with each other. Maybe we can have new gains." As she said, Su Li suddenly looked in another direction, "Next, it's time to see what the Lianshi Cult is made of."
Under the curtain of rain, a group of black-clothed and masked men were running quickly on the rooftops. There were forty-two of them, and all of them were at the Innate Realm. Soon, they were close to the Wu family's mansion. The leader of the masked men looked vigilant and looked around. He was much more careful than Elder Dao.
The Auction Fair was about to begin. Nobody knew how deep the situation in Yunjing City was. At this moment, they naturally wanted to fish in troubled waters. If they could reduce the fighting power of other forces, it would be the best. As for the Wu Family … If the Wu Family didn't die out completely, they would naturally become Lei Feng and help.
After all, they were close to the Third Prince.
At this moment, they did not know that before they arrived, their whereabouts had been completely exposed by Elder Dao's roar.
Turning the corner, they could still smell the strong smell of blood in the rain. The leader of the black-masked men saw the gap where the Royal Guards surrounded the Wu family. He was delighted and was about to lead his men to jump over.
But at this moment, countless silver needles were mixed with the drizzle and shrouded all the black-clothed men like a storm!
The leader of the black-clothed men snorted and immediately manipulated the corpse puppets to block the silver needles. The twelve people also followed suit and put the corpse puppets in front of them. In the next moment, all the corpse puppets in front of them were pierced into hedgehogs, and none of the needles fell on the living people.
"You rascal, who gave you the courage to attack me?"
The leader of the black-clothed men made a ferocious voice and manipulated the eight corpse puppets to rush to the source of the silver needles. But he didn't rush for a few steps, there was a continuous sound of "plop" behind him. He looked back in amazement and found that all his men were in a coma. No one controlled the corpse puppets, so they naturally became dead.
"What's going on?" The leader of the black-clothed men was shocked. They clearly dodged all the silver needles.
Then, the leader of the black-clothed men fell down with his head up and fainted. Su Li stood on the edge of the eaves and flicked her sleeves to shoot all kinds of weapons. She shot all the vital parts of the black-clothed men, except for the leader of the black-clothed men.
In the twinkling of an eye, the blood converged into a river along with the patter of the rain.
Ling Li sat in the room and watched the scrolls of intelligence sent by the people of the Tianya House. He fell into a long silence. Someone did what he always wanted to do. Then, the Lianshi Cult and the Hehuan Sect would definitely turn against each other and fight to the death.
But he didn't know who did it.
"Master, maybe they really met each other and the situation was chaotic. Then, it evolved into a big scuffle." Ling Xian gently touched the wrinkles between Ling Li's eyebrows. Ling Li pushed her away without a trace, which made the smile on her face stiff.
Ling Li stood up and stood by the window. He would not have the naive idea like Ling Xian. There must be someone manipulating this matter to make all the advantages fall to their side.
This person stood on their side, but was unwilling to show up.
Ling Li held his breath slightly. He thought of a person.
In the second half of the night, more sects emerged. They weakened their strength by the chaos. Under Su Li's manipulation, no one got any benefit in the end. All of them were seriously injured.
There was a glimmer of light in the sky. What was hidden in the darkness disappeared with the fading darkness, leaving only corpses on the street. Dongfang Rui looked tired, but his eyes were bright. Looking at the dead Wu Family, he turned his stiff neck and asked hoarsely, "Where is Wu Lirong?"
Wu Bin's face was covered with blood. He walked over and said with a bitter smile, "I found her, but …"
Then, he asked someone to carry a corpse over, "When I found her, she was already a corpse. Last night, it was very chaotic. I don't know who killed her. "
Looking at Wu Lirong who had already died, Dongfang Rui pulled out the long sword from his waist and cut off Wu Lirong's head. When the blood spilled, he wrapped it carefully and held it in his arms. This time, he breathed a long sigh of relief, "Go back. It's enough."
"Yes, Master."
Wu Bin said and retreated quickly with his people, leaving only the broken wall of the Wu Family covered with blood.
Wu Suijun sat upright in the center of the main room and didn't move all night. It seemed that the people of Lord Rui's Mansion didn't see him at all. They broke into the Wu Family wantonly and killed all the non-lineal descendants.
Except that Wu Lirong died miserably and her corpse was taken away, Dongfang Rui had a sense of propriety. The main family of the Wu Family didn't suffer much loss. But Wu Suijun would never be grateful for Dongfang Rui's mercy. Besides the Ling Family, the Wu Family had another deadly enemy, Lord Rui's Mansion!
After the people of Lord Rui's Mansion left, a large number of city guards appeared and began to clean the street and carry the corpses.
Hu Dadan ordered people to carry the corpses away and couldn't help but be shocked. It turned out that the seemingly gentle Lord Rui was so horrible when he went crazy. There were 500 corpses near the Wu Family!
"The emperor acquiesced Lord Rui to commit such a crime. I didn't expect that the relationship between Lord Rui and the emperor was so good."
Hu Dadan muttered to himself and sighed in his heart. The day before Lord Rui took action, he received an order from his superior that no matter what happened to Lord Rui, he shouldn't take action. He thought that according to Lord Rui's temperament, he would kill dozens of people at most. He didn't expect that the real number was ten times that he guessed.
At this moment, Dongfang Xiao, who had just got up and washed, was eating breakfast with the help of a maid. Suddenly, he received the news from Hu Dadan. He was so shocked that he almost spat out blood.
He was not shocked because of the 500 lives, but because Dongfang Rui actually gave a false order and slaughtered the Wu Family in his name!
All the collateral descendants of the Wu Family were killed by Dongfang Rui!
This enmity was too great!
He just wanted Dongfang Rui to beat the Wu Family a little bit. He even guessed that in that complicated situation, Dongfang Rui would give up even if he couldn't kill a maid of the Wu Family.
But when he woke up one night, he got the news that Dongfang Rui killed all the people of the Wu Family except for the lineal descendants. Even the maids and servants were not spared!
"Is Dongfang Rui crazy? Just for a woman who has been dead for more than ten years! " Dongfang Xiao stood up angrily and overturned the table. Then he coughed violently. Eunuch Feng was so shocked that he immediately called the imperial doctor.
After calming down, Dongfang Xiao looked gloomy and sighed to himself, "I'm old. I can't even outscheme others."
After thinking for a while, he understood. Dongfang Rui could be used as a tool by him. Naturally, he could be used by others. Obviously, someone gave Dongfang Rui advice and told him how to take revenge. Dongfang Rui was impulsive and didn't think about the consequences.
"The Wu Family has been greatly weakened. The Ling Family also has few talents. Now, the Ma Family dominates. Ho-ho …"
Dongfang Xiao's smile was very cold. Eunuch Feng trembled. Was it the Ma Family who did this? But the Ma Family had always been loyal to the emperor …
"The position of the emperor is really attractive. Everyone wants to sit on it."
Dongfang Xiao sat up reluctantly and thought deeply, "The Ling Family and the Wu Family are like fire and water. Instead of letting them unite to deal with the Ma Family, it is better to consider strengthening the strength of one of them. The Eighth Brother of the Wu Family acts rashly. I am afraid that he has rebelled against me. The Ling Family is loyal and can be used … "
After making up his mind, Dongfang Xiao cheered up and said, "Summon General Ling Ping to the imperial palace!"
"Yes, sir!"
On the day when the whole city was in chaos because of the Wu Family, Ling Ping inexplicably took the position of the Defender-general of the State. It was the glory of his father!
That was to say, his current status was no worse than that of Prime Minister Ma and Prime Minister Tang. His military power even exceeded that of Wu Suijun!
But during this time, he stayed in Yunjing and did nothing.
In the past few years, he had been fighting outside and won many battles. The imperial palace always gave him "one thousand taels of gold" and so on. He didn't hear the news of promotion.
"Do I have to stay in Yunjing City obediently if I want to promote my military rank?"
For a moment, General Ling Ping was at a loss.
Ling Li, who knew the whole process, got the news. Although he was a little surprised, he was not very shocked.
Dongfang Xiao needed to balance the big families in his hands. The Mansion of Prime Minister Tang had always been prominent, but Dongfang Xiao seemed to put it out of his consideration.
Now Dongfang Rui's raid on the Wu Family was a great success, and the strength of the Wu Family was weakened to the bottom. Out of Dongfang Xiao's expectation, Dongfang Xiao urgently promoted Ling Ping's military rank so that the status of the Ling Family and the Ma Family could be equal.
As for Ling Ping's military merits, he had already accumulated enough under his arrangement. But Dongfang Xiao pretended not to know and delayed promoting Ling Ping.
Thinking of this, Ling Li smiled. The person who secretly helped him really helped him a lot.
