Chapter 260 A Conspiracy! (2)
“I don’t think it’s the New Chu Nation because they aren’t that powerful!”
On the Internet, discussions and guesses were flying everywhere.
But overall, the atmosphere was very good. Now that the self-combustion crisis was resolved, everyone could resume their daily activities.
Su Jingxing had no time to care about this.
!!
He had not figured out the problem with his Essence Soul. He was also testing out the utilization of Martial Art True Intent.
He was a little busy now.
However, that night, a loud bang resounded through the air above the Central District.
Accompanied by the sound, waves of energy fluctuations came from the sky above the district.
People are fighting!
And their realms aren’t low. Fourth-grade?
Su Jingxing stopped his attempts with Martial Art True Intent and flew into the air in his courtyard. Standing in the air, he activated his Night Vision and Distant Vision at the same time to look at the source of the energy fluctuations.
In his field of vision, more than a hundred figures in martial art uniforms rushed into a large manor and kept killing.
As he released his perception, screams, angry roars, and cries sounded from the manor.
The owner of this manor… the Li Family!
The Li Family’s manor?
A faction is attacking the Li Family?
Su Jingxing was shocked.
With a thought, he executed his secret ability and changed his face, height and aura. Then, he flew through the air.
Swish!
Halfway through, he took out a cloak and put it on.
When he was close to the Li Family’s manor, he landed on the top of a building.
After landing, he sensed his surroundings and discovered that many people were watching from all sides of the manor.
The Iron Thread Sect, Jade Sword Sect, Sky Water Chamber of Commerce, Green Cloud Court, Zhou Family, Qi Family…
Almost all the major factions in Qinghe City were present, watching as a group of outsiders invaded the Li Family’s manor and fought with the Li Family’s martial artists.
As Su Jingxing extracted the cards, his gaze swept around and landed on a tall figure standing on the rooftop of a tall building in the Li Family estate.
Most of the people from the other factions were also looking at him.
Third-grade!
Even though the tall figure, who was at least in the third-grade, did not make a move, his invisible and powerful aura still attracted everyone’s attention.
A third-grade martial artist led a team to invade the Li Family. Who has the Li Family offended?
Su Jingxing was puzzled.
“Everyone.”
A deep voice resounded through the air.
The tall figure looked down at the ground and scanned the situation in the manor. His voice, augmented by true essence, rang in the ears of Su Jingxing and the others.
“Everyone, this is a grudge between the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce and the Li Family. I hope that everyone will not interfere recklessly to avoid unnecessary casualties.”
An announcement.
And also a threat!
However, as soon as the words “Tianlong Chamber of Commerce” were spoken, everyone from the major factions in Qinghe City fell silent at once.
Regardless of whether the tall figure was telling the truth or not, they could only shut
up.
The Tianlong Chamber of Commerce, a major faction with top-ranked experts, was not one they could contend with.
Even in Qinghe City, there wasn’t…
“Stop!”
A furious roar suddenly sounded.
Buzz!
The air surged.
An invisible pressure suddenly came from afar and descended above the Li Family manor, covering everyone in it.
Under this suppression, be it the people from the Li Family or the people from the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce, they all stopped in their tracks, unable to make a move.
Roar!
A giant gray leopard leaped through the air and snarled at the tall figure.
“Gray Leopard King, Gu Zhanlin, are you sure you want to interfere in the affairs of Tianlong?” The tall figure spoke in a low voice. His thin and long face was expressionless and his cold gaze was fixed on Gu Zhanlin, who was flying swiftly towards him.
“That’s right, I’m interfering!”
Gu Zhanlin’s face darkened as he swept his gaze across the sky and the ground. He looked around and shouted, “This is Qinghe City, not the wilderness. I don’t care if you are Tianlong or Tianshe[1], the Li Family or the Chen Family. If you want revenge, please go outside the city! In the city, no way! My words!”
Da da da!
On the ground, people from the Martial Suppression Office and the Prefecture Army emerged in large numbers and surrounded the Li Family’s manor.
“Heh, Commander Gu, how impressive.”
The tall figure chuckled. “What if I insist on resolving this here?”
“Si Wujiu!”
Gu Zhanlin’s expression turned even colder. “I’m only negotiating with you out of respect. Don’t be so shameless!”
“Don’t think that just because Tianlong has connections with the capital that you can think nothing of others.
“Let me tell you, this is Qinghe City, Changyang Prefecture, not a place for you to be arrogant!”
“I’m arrogant?” Si Wujiu smiled. “No matter how arrogant I am, I can’t compare to the Li Family. Commander Gu, aren’t you curious about the grudge between Tianlong and the Li Family?”
“I’m not interested!”
Gu Zhanlin raised his hand and shouted coldly, “I’m not interested in learning about the grudge between you two.”
“Don’t talk about you and you.”
Si Wujiu chuckled. “Just as you said, Commander Gu, respect is mutual. You’re not interested, but I still have to tell you why Tianlong wants to destroy the Li Family.”
“Why?” On the ground, the patriarch of the Li Family, Li Mingfang, shouted at the top of his voice, “Why do you want to annihilate us? When did the Li Family offend Tianlong?”
“Didn’t you?”
Si Wujiu glanced at Li Mingfang and said indifferently, “The Li Family is much more unbridled than us. At the very least, we never dared to grab women off the streets and force ourselves onto them inside a car!”
Gu Zhanlin was speechless.
Li Mingfang was speechless.
Su Jingxing was speechless.
The people from the other factions were speechless.
When Si Wujiu said this, everyone was stunned, surprised, and in disbelief.
Su Jingxing had a strange look on his face.
He had seen what Si Wujiu was claiming with his own eyes and had even stepped in to stop him.
It’s indeed true.
But is this really such a coincidence? The woman that the man had grabbed is from the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce?
Moreover, judging from the actions of the
Tianlong Chamber of Commerce of getting Si Wujiu to lead a team to take revenge, this woman is probably of high status.
But does a person of high status not have bodyguards by her side?
How could it be such a coincidence that she was alone and targeted?
A conspiracy!
Su Jingxing thought inwardly.
The others had the same guess.
When Li Mingfang snapped back to his senses, he growled, “Impossible! You’re slandering the Li Family! He who wants to beat his dog will easily find a stick!” “Slander?”
Si Wujiu retracted his might and sneered. “Bring him here!”
“Yes.”
Two martial artists walked out from the darkness of the rooftop. They were holding ropes in their hands.
The other ends of the ropes were tied to the hands and feet of a man with his mouth stuffed.
There was also a rope tied to each of his feet that he could pull on the ground.
At this moment, the man was pulled out and the cloth in his mouth was removed. Then, he was suddenly thrown out of the rooftop. His head was down, and his feet were up. Held by two ropes and hung in midair, he screamed in fear.
It really is him!
Su Jingxing saw from afar and raised his eyebrows.
The man hanging in midair was the arrogant fellow he had stopped previously. He had grabbed him out of the car and thrown him to the ground, breaking several bones.
Now that he looked again, his limbs were all broken.
“Who is he?”
Gu Zhanlin removed his suppression and asked with a frown.
“You’ll have to ask the Patriarch Li.” Si Wujiu glanced at Li Mingfang.
“I don’t know.” Li Mingfang looked up and growled. “I don’t know him at all. He’s not a member of the Li Family!”
“Are you sure?”
Si Wujiu’s expression remained unchanged. “Patriarch Li, do you want to ask your future patriarch if he knows him?”
Hmm?
Li Mingfang was taken aback.
Gu Zhanlin’s heart skipped a beat.
Su Jingxing quickly shifted his gaze to a handsome young man with a grim expression.
Li Junze!
The Li Family’s most outstanding genius in a hundred years, a 21-year-old sixth-grade martial artist.
He was also Li Mingfang’s son, the next patriarch that everyone in the Li Family thought highly of.
“You… know him?”
At this moment, Li Mingfang’s expression was ugly. Enduring his anger, he asked Li Junze in a hoa.r.s.e voice.
“He… he…”
“Who the h.e.l.l is he?!” roared Li Mingfang. His eyes were bloodshot, and his aura was surging to the extreme.
Li Junze’s body trembled. He lowered his head and gritted his teeth. “He is Xu’er’s older brother.”
“Xu’er? Liu Xu?” Li Mingfang was stunned.
“Doesn’t the Patriarch Li know who Liu Xu is?” Si Wujiu chuckled. “Then let me tell you something. Liu Xu is the cla.s.smate of this future Patriarch of the Li Family from elementary school to university. The girlfriend he has been in love with for five years, the fiancée he had already pledged to marry without the permission of their parents!”
“How is it? Is this news surprising?”
“Is the elder brother of the future patriarch’s wife a member of the Li Family?!”
