Chapter 290 Ident.i.ty exposure
“Commander Xiang, I come with sincerity and want to offer my treasure to His Majesty.”
Lu Hai had been a homeowner for more than ten years. At present, the situation was not good. He remained calm and said, “This is my family’s most valuable treasure. Only when I give it to His Majesty in person, can I be at ease. Otherwise, if it is replaced by a fake one, who will take full responsibility? And you… can’t afford it!”
The commander’s face changed slightly and looked a little unhappy. Lu Hai’s words made him embarra.s.sed, but what Lu Hai said… was reasonable. If Lu Hai really lied to him with a fake insect king, he would not be rewarded. Instead, he would be severely punished by His Majesty.
Probably Lu Hai was scaring him, but he didn’t have to take… this risk.
With this in mind, Commander Xiang gave a cold hum, and waved his right hand to order the imperial forbidden guards behind him to make way. Then he also made way, saying indifferently, “Please come in, Head of Lu family.”
Lu Hai relieved a lot and gave him a fist and palm salute, “Thank you.”
Finis.h.i.+ng his words, he immediately took many “guards” behind him into the Imperial Palace through the gate and disappeared.
Commander Xiang couldn’t help sneering, “Ho, stupid! The vision of the three brothers of Lu Family is still low. It will make no splash of water at all just taking such small quant.i.ty of persons.”
Of course, he knew that Lu Hai entered the palace with other purposes, but a small family which only survived upon an insect king was impossible to contend with the royal family.
Did he really think that the Wei Family was afraid of them because of an insect king of the longevity realm?
He had witnessed the old ancestor of the longevity realm of the Wei Family whose strength was more horrible than the insect king!
The royal family had never attacked the Lu Family just because they were too weak to be a threat. Now that they came here to court death with presenting an insect king, the Wei Family absolutely welcomed them.
Under Commander Xiang’s special help, Lu Hai and his team did not suffer any obstacles when entering the palace and arrived at the palace hall smoothly.
A middle-aged man with a square face and in a yellow robe sat on the throne of the hall. He looked dignified with a certain elegance of scholars. If people only look at his appearance, they would not believe that he was the head of the Wei Family, Wei Yanghong, the one who had set off the b.l.o.o.d.y war of Nanjiang Country these years.
At this moment, Wei Yanghong glanced at the three brothers of the Lu Family, and finally looked at Lu Hai with a faint smile, saying,
“Head of Lu Family, we both know an ancient saying which runs that a wise man submits to fate. It is the right choice for you to dedicate the insect king to me.”
Lu Hai held the box so tight that his joints were pale, not replying. He had done his task now, but why didn’t the mysterious girl act?
Wei Yanghong’s six senses were so keen that he immediately sensed the anomaly form Lu Hai’s hesitation.
At this time, Su Li in a set of the Lu Family’s armor finally spoke indifferently, “Let’s act.”
As she said, hundreds of desperados of the Spiritual Realm rushed out murderously and a dead atmosphere covered the hall!
In few seconds, all the seven hundred imperial guards around the hall were killed! The burst of power made Wei Yanghong’s complexion slightly changed.
Hundreds of the Lu Family’s guards were all warriors of the inborn realm. The situation seemed bad!
“a.s.sa.s.sins!! Escorting His Majesty!!”
The sharp voice of a eunuch who stood beside Wei Yanghong broke through the sky. He burst power of the peak of the inborn realm, stood in front of Wei Yanghong and chopped towards Lu Hai closest to him.
“The Lu Family dare to collude with outsiders. Go die!!”
The imperial manager turned out to be a hidden senior!
The three brothers of the Lu Family suddenly retreated in horror. At this instant, a sword light suddenly burst from the eunuch’s side as fast as possible!
“So fast! No!!”
The old eunuch yelled and wanted to avoid it, but the sword slight was too fast to make him react. As he saw the light, the ending was already doomed.
“Um…”
The old eunuch’s face froze immediately. Then a ray of bloodline appeared at his neck, and his head fell down with a sound “thub”. Before he made any contributions to the emperor, he was stabbed with a sword!
Lu Hai stared blankly at the lying headless body on the ground and froze. For a while, he looked at the direction of the sword light, happening to see Fang Yuan putting his sword into the sheath.
The eunuch also reached the peak of the inborn realm, but he was killed by one sword light of Fang Yuan who was only 20 years old!
At this time, Lu He knew that Fang Yuan’s strength was even more horrible than he thought.
After killing the guards around Wei Yanghong, Fang Yuan went forward indifferently and grabbed Wei Yanghong who was still pretending to be calm. He pulled Wei Yanghong in front of Su Li and threw him fiercely. As Lu Hai and others heard a clear “click”, their scalps tingled for a while.
“Who the h.e.l.l are you?”
Wei Yanghong endured severe pain in his knee, looked up to glance at Fang Yuan, Qu Qingning and others, and finally looked at Su Li, “Are you the rescuer of these young men?”
Su Li smiled slightly, “I’m not a rescuer. I just make a deal with them.”
“Ho…”
Wei Yanghong suddenly laughed after hearing this, “Girl, you are too young. Although I don’t understand how the offspring of these three families persuaded you to oppose me, you must have been cheated. Do you think that you can evaluate the Wei Family’s foundation?”
Su Li looked indifferent, and her mind seemed unchanged.
Seeing this, Wei Yanghong didn’t stop persuading her, continuing,
“All forces of Nanjiang Country are in my hands. You are not the people of our Nanjiang Country and have no conflict with our Wei Family, so, you have no need to be involved in this fight. If you let me go and take your guards away, I won’t hold you accountable. But if you still insist, none of you are able to leave here today!”
“No conflict?”
Su Li repeated and laughed, “His Majesty, may I ask you that who made the decision to cooperate with the Hehuan Sect to attack the Ling family?”
Wei Yanghong’s complexion changed instantly. The plan was so secret, but how could this girl know it?!
Just when he was shocked and doubtful, a buzzing suddenly sounded around the hall, and then mists of mysterious fog appeared inside the hall and wrapped it.
“A tactical matrix?!”
Lu Hai and others immediately reacted, looking around the desperados of the Spiritual Realm hiding in the mysterious fog. At this moment, they finally understood what Su Li was planning.
As long as there was a tactical matrix, Su Li and her team would take the initiative, and the Wei Family could not rely on the great number of the guards but the strength to beat them!
“Well, Head of Wei, you needed to buy time, so did I. But now the matrix has been completed, so, stop your useless words. I think your Wei Family members have also arrived at the outside of the hall. So, let’s meet them.”
Su Li said with a smile, but Wei Yanghong felt cold for a while. His purpose had been made out by this girl immediately.
Before he resisted, Fang Yuan had taken him to the edge of the tactical matrix outside the hall. When they looked ahead, the square below the stone steps outside the hall was densely arrayed the imperial guards waiting to fight. Many princes and princesses had come, including Sixth Princess Wei Zhenzhen.
The one standing in the forefront was a white-hair old man in a black robe. When the man saw Fang Yuan carrying Wei Yanghong who legs had broken, his complexion was instantly horrible and cold.
“Young man, you are doomed to die today.”
Fang Yuan smiled coldly and didn’t say any words. Su Li glanced at the old man in a black robe and said lightly, “Are you the old ancestor of the Wei family, Wei Hetian?”
Hearing this, the old man in a black robe noticed the standing pet.i.te girl, Su Li. At this time, he just noticed that Fang Yuan and other people all stood behind Su Li at least half-body distance away.
Was she the real leader?
The old man in a black robe was stunned secretly, but his complexion didn’t change at all. He laughed at her, “A witless young girl has no qualification to see the old ancestor of our Wei Family. I am Wei Xun, the first elder of the Wei Family.”
When Wei Zhenzhen saw Su Li, a flash of suspicion showed in her eyes. After a moment, she suddenly exclaimed, “Princess Li! You are Princess Li of Dahan Country, Su Li, aren’t you?!”
The old man in a black robe’s face changed slightly. He wondered maybe the power of the Dongfang Family had reach here.
Su Li glanced at Wei Zhenzhen, but quickly moved away, laughing lightly, “Princess Li… I am not a member of the Dongfang Family. First Elder, maybe you can call me… Mr. Li.”
Ms. Li!
“Are… you Mr. Li?!”
The old man in a black robe’s face changed dramatically. After the auction of Dahan Country, this name had spread to other countries besides Dahan Country. Of course, he had heard it.
It was said that Mr. Li’s medical skills could compete with Qi Xianqing’s, and his cultivation was unfathomable. But no one could imagine the true ident.i.ty of Mr. Li turned out to be a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl!
“Wei Yanghong, your ident.i.ty seems not heavy enough to make the old ancestor of the Wei Family appear.”
Seeing that Wei Xun had no reaction for a while, Su Li laughed lightly beside Wei Yanghong. A little oddness showed in Wei Yanghong’s eyes, but his tone remained unchanged, “Su Li, First Elder is in charge of our Wei Family and his right is above me. If you have any requirements, you can say now.”
“Requirements?”
Su Li chuckled covering her mouth with her hand. When she was about to say something, Wei Xun, who was very close to her standing below the steps, suddenly moved!
Shwing!!
A super powerful strength erupted from his old body, and the floor tiles under his feet exploded. He rushed to Su Li as a residual image, almost making an explosion sound in the air!
At the same time, his right palm turned to be claw-shaped, and gravely struck Su Li’s delicate neck!
Seeing that Su Li was shocked by the sudden attack and couldn’t move any all, he was happy secretly. Since Su Li was the leader, everything could be solved as long as she was controlled.
When his palm was about to hit her neck, she suddenly showed a weird smile on her face.
“No, it’s a trick!”
Wei Xun antic.i.p.ated the bad situation. When he was about to draw his hand back, Xuan He suddenly appeared like a phantom and grabbed Wei Xun’s wrist. Then a clear click blasted forth through the air.
Wei Xun gave a grunt. With his palm, he wanted to use Xuan He’s strength to escape, but Xuan He followed him closely like a tarsal maggot. In a flash, he had fought with Wei Xun for several blows.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!!
With each blow, Wei Xun took a step back. After the last blow, he managed to stand still but couldn’t help spitting blood out of his mouth.
So strong!
Wei Xun looked at Xuan He whose complexion was indifferent in horror. This man was definitely not of the first hurdle of the longevity realm as him. The man at least reached the peak of the first hurdle of the longevity realm. Wei Xun was not his opponent at all.
Thinking of this, Wei Xun glanced at Wei Yanghong whose eyes still hid a desire to survive and a flash of fierceness showed on his face. Despite of Wei Zhenzhen and other princes and princesses’ shocks, he decisively ordered,
“Listen, the Imperial guards. Array and attack!”
