Lady Su's Revenge Chapter 200

Chapter 200 An Unexpected Situation
“Quickly! Pull back!”

Elder Dao shouted and quickly pulled back. He did not bring all people of the branch of the Hehuan Sect tonight and did not expect to encounter such a dilemma.

He suddenly sniffed. Although it rained, he still smelled a very slight putrefactive odor from the robe of the man in the black robe.

The corpse puppet!

It turned out to be the corpse puppet!

Elder Dao immediately realized it and then shouted with anger, “I'm at daggers drawn with the Lianshi Cult!”

The eight inborn corpse puppets' movements of martial arts were all very cruel, and many people died around him in a flash. After the sect knew the news, it was unknown if he could hold down his position in his sect!

When Elder Dao thought he had escaped from the attack range of the corpse puppet, a flash of a sword came behind him.

“Crack!”

A bloody arm was cut and fell into a muddy puddle!

“Ow!”

With several screams, Elder Dao went far away instantly and neglected subordinates around him. He fled away in panic alone.

Without Elder Dao's protection, the subordinates who just broke through the inborn first or second hurdle were quickly slaughtered by the corpse puppets. Fang Yuan raised his bamboo hat and walked to the roadside to pick up the broken arm. He transmitted the genuine energy into it, and then Elder Dao's right arm burst into a bloody fog with a bang.

After doing this, Fang Yuan glanced at Dongfang Rui who was looking at him. He jumped on the eave coldly and then disappeared. If appropriate, he preferred to open an umbrella for Su Li quietly.

Of course, he was also very happy to help Su Li do this trivial matter of fabricating a charge against someone.

Everyone disappeared, and there were only the corpses left. Dongfang Rui took a deep breath and felt shocked. Was this Su Li's arrangement? There were such seniors around her.

Fang Yuan returned to Su Li and took over the umbrella handle in Su Li's hand, only to hear that Su Li said with a smile, “You are in the inborn third hurdle, but you could cut the arm of a senior in the inborn fifth hurdle. You have made great progress in the Ao Sword Skills.”

Fang Yuan curled up his mouth and lowered his head. He said, “There are still many things that I don't understand, and I've only mastered the surface.”

“My cultivation is roughly the same with yours, and we can exchange ideas with each other in the future. Maybe we'll find something new.” Then Su Li suddenly looked in the other direction and said, “Next, it's time to sound out the real strength of the Lianshi Cult.”

In the rain, a group of masked people in black ran on the roof. There were forty-two people in total. They all had the inborn cultivation. Soon, they were close to the Wu Family's Mansion. The leading masked man looked alert. He looked around. He was much more careful than Elder Dao.

The Auction Fair was about to begin, and no one knew how many secret forces were in Yunjing City. At the moment, they naturally wanted to make a profit in troubled situation. If they could reduce the strength of other forces, it was naturally the best. As for the Wu Family… If members of the Wu Family didn't die completely, they would also kill those people personally.

After all, they had a close relationship with the Third Prince.

At this moment, they still didn't know that before they came, their whereabouts was exposed by Elder Dao's roar.

After they turned the corner, a strong smell of blood could still be smelled in the rain. The leading masked man saw the Royal Guards besieging the Wu Family. When he found a gap, he looked happy. He was about to climb over with others.

But at this moment, countless silver needles were mixed with the drizzle and covered all people in black like the fierce wind and sudden downpour!

The leading masked man snorted and immediately manipulated the corpse puppets to block the silver needles. The twelve people also stood behind the corpse puppets. Then all the corpse puppets in front of them became hedgehogs. The sliver needles didn't hit anyone.

“Gangsters, how dare you attack me?”

The leading masked man smiled grimly and controlled the eight corpse puppets to rush to the place where the silver needles were shot. But when he did not walk a few steps, he heard the continuous “plop” behind him. He turned back in amazement and found that all his subordinates lay on the ground unconsciously. The corpse puppets were useless when they were not controlled by people.

“What happened?” The leading masked man looked shocked. They clearly escaped all the silver needles.

Then, the leading masked man lost his consciousness and fainted. Su Li stood on the edge of the eave and shot a variety of weapons from her sleeves. All the weapons hit the crucial point of all people except the leading masked man.

In the twinkling of an eye, bloody water converged into a river with the continuous patter of raindrops.

Sitting in the room, Ling Li watched a lot of intelligence sent by people of the Tianya House and fell into a long silence. What he always wanted to do was done. Then the Lianshi Cult and the Hehuan Sect definitely became enemies and had a life-or-death struggle.

But he didn't know who did it at all.

“Master, maybe they really happened to meet. When the situation was chaotic, they started the donnybrook in the end.” Ling Xian gently stroked the wrinkles between Ling Li's eyebrows, and the latter pushed her away coldly. Then Ling Xian looked sullen.

Ling Li got up and stood in front of the window. He wasn't as innocent as Ling Xian. There must be someone controlling the matter behind the scene, and everything was in their favor at the moment.

This person, taking a stand with them, was unwilling to show up.

Ling Li stopped breathing temporarily and thought of a person.

In the second half of the night, there were more sects appearing. All their strength was weakened amid chaos. Under Su Li's control, no sect ultimately benefited from it.

There was a glimmer of light in the sky. The sects that hid in the dark disappeared as the darkness faded away. There were only corpses on the street. Dongfang Rui looked tired, but his eyes were brimming with radiating vigor. Seeing that the Wu Family's Mansion was in deathly stillness, he turned his stiff neck and asked hoarsely, “Where is Wu Lirong?”

Wu Bin's face was covered with blood. At this moment, he came here and said with a forced smile, “We found her, but…”

Then he ordered some people to bring the corpse and said, “When we found her, she had died. It was very chaotic last night, and no one knew who killed her.”

Looking at Wu Lirong's corpse, Dongfang Rui pulled out his sword at the waist and chopped down the head angrily, with blood spraying. Then he wrapped it carefully and held it in his arms. He took a deep breath and said, “Go back. It's enough.”

“Yes, Master.”

Wu Bin replied and left quickly with others. There was only the broken door wall of the Wu Family's Mansion covered with blood.

Wu Suijun was serious. He was sitting in the middle of the main room and didn't move all night. It seemed that the people of the Lord Rui's Mansion also did not see him all night. They arbitrarily intruded into the Wu Family's Mansion and killed all non-lineal members.

Dongfang Rui had a sense of propriety except that Wu Lirong was killed cruelly and the corpse was taken away. So, there weren't many people of the head of the Wu Family being killed. But Wu Suijun would never be grateful because of Dongfang Rui's mercy. Now the Lord Rui's Mansion was also the Wu Family's mortal enemy beside the Ling Family!

After the people of the Lord Rui's Mansion left, a large number of city guards began to clean the streets and carry the corpses.

Commander Hu couldn't help but be left speechless with fear while ordering people to carry the corpses. It turned out that Lord Rui, who was seemingly gentle, was so terrible when he was out of mind. There were 500 corpses near the Wu Family's Mansion in total!

“The emperor allowed the Lord Rui to commit such a grievous sin silently. I didn't expect the relationship between the emperor and Lord Rui to be so good.”

Commander Hu mumbled to himself and sighed inwardly. The day before Lord Rui took action, the commander received the order. No matter what Lord Rui did, he couldn't intervene. He thought that Lord Rui might kill dozens of people at most based on his character, but Lord Rui actually killed ten times as many people as he had guessed.

At this moment, Dongfang Xiao, just got up and washed his face and rinsed his mouth. The maids were serving him for breakfast. Suddenly, he received the news from Commander Hu. He was so shocked that he almost spat out blood.

He was shocked not because of the 500 lives, but because of the fact that Dongfang Rui gave a false order that the emperor wanted to slaughter the Wu Family!

The members of the Wu Family in the collateral line were all really killed by Dongfang Rui!

It became a blood feud!

He just wanted Dongfang Rui to punish the Wu Family slightly. He even guessed that in the complicated situation, Dongfang Rui would not kill a maid of the Wu Family.

But when he woke up, he got the news that Dongfang Rui killed all members of the Wu Family except those lineal offspring. Even the maids and servants were killed!

“Was Dongfang Rui crazy? He did it just for a woman who died more than ten years ago!” Dongfang Xiao stood up angrily and overturned the table. Then he coughed sharply. Eunuch Feng saw the scene and asked the royal doctor to come here immediately.

After calming down, Dongfang Xiao sighed in a low voice with a malicious look, “I'm old and even can't win in terms of schemes.”

Then he thought for a moment and realized that since he could take advantage of Dongfang Rui, others could also do so. It was obvious that someone gave advice to Dongfang Rui and told him how to seek revenge. Driven by his momentary impulse, Dongfang Rui might fail to consider the consequences.

“The Wu Family was weakened, and the Ling Family suffered great losses. Now only the Ma Family is strong, ho ho…”

Dongfang Xiao smiled coldly. Eunuch Feng shook his body. Was it secretly done by the Ma Family? But the Ma Family had always been loyal to the emperor…

“The throne of the emperor is really attractive, and everyone wants to have a try.”

Dongfang Xiao managed to sit up and meditated for a while. Then he said, “The Ling and Wu Families are incompatible as fire and water. It is better to consider strengthening the strength of one of them instead of expecting them to join forces to deal with the Ma Family. The Wu Family is hostile to me because what Dongfang Rui has done rashly. All the members of the Ling Family are loyal. I can take advantage of the Ling Family…”

Making up his mind, Dongfang Xiao revivified and said, “I want to see General Ling Ping!”

“Yes!”

On the same day when the members of the Wu Family were killed, Ling Ping was inexplicably given the title of the Country Guarding General. The title was the glory of his father!

In other words, his status was the same as that of Prime Minister Ma and Prime Minister Tang. His military rights were more than those of Wu Suijun!

But during this period of time, he stayed in Yunjing and didn't do anything at all.

In the past few years, he had been fighting outside and had made great contributions in battles. The emperor always rewarded him with “thousands of taels of gold”. But he had never heard the news of promoting the official rank.

“Do I have to stay in Yunjing City obediently if I want to get promoted?”

General Ling Ping was at a loss at once.

Ling Li thoroughly understood what happened. When he got the news, he looked somewhat surprised instead of being terribly shocked.

Dongfang Xiao needed to check and balance the major families. The Prime Minister Tang's Mansion had always kept a low profile. So, it seemed that Dongfang Xiao didn't consider it.

Nowadays, Dongfang Rui's assault on the Wu Family turned to be a great success. The Wu Family's strength had been greatly weakened. It was an unexpected situation for him. So, Dongfang Xiao urgently promoted Ling Ping's military rank and kept the Ling Family's status and Ma Family's status balanced.

Ling Ping had accumulated enough military merits under Ling Li's arrangement, but Dongfang Xiao pretended that he didn't see them and delayed the promotion of Ling Ping.

With these in his mind, Ling Li smiled. The man who secretly did all these things really helped him a lot.

Dongfang Xiao relaxed his vigilance for the Ling Family. So, he did not have to worry that Dongfang Xiao continued to weaken the Ling Family.
