Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God

Chapter 241 Encounter with a Bewitching Man

The person who had just spoken out in anger was the Family Head of the Song family, and also a direct descendant of General Song!

An old woman in her fifties or sixties sneered, "You make it sound nice, but if a subordinate of the Northern Liao King can instantly kill four Grandmasters, I'm afraid all of us standing here wouldn't be enough for him to kill!"

"We may not be a match in martial strength, but the Wuji Group is not to be underestimated when it comes to economic power! Revenge? How exactly?"

"Who said we have to take action personally?"

A feminine man joined the conversation.

He was none other than the Family Head of the Lu family, and the father of Lu Shao. Each of the four great Family Heads was either outright evil or scheming, but this Lu Family Head was the most cunning and insidious of them all!

The old woman frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Do we have a way to divert the disaster elsewhere and use someone else's hand to kill?"

The Lu Family Head smiled lightly, "I heard from my son that this Ye Ling is extremely arrogant. He has gone to the north of the Yangtze River with only three people accompanying him!"

"To kill four Grandmasters instantly, the person who took action, Chen Dao, must be at least at the peak of the Grandmaster level, and possibly even at the Prince's realm!"

"However, including Ye Ling, the other three appear very young and probably are not very strong—at least not stronger than this Chen Dao. We should just send someone to ambush and assassinate them directly!"

Killing intent flickered in the eyes of the Lu Family Head because among the four young masters of the great families, his son was the one who had been injured the most, and had even been slapped in the face!

Moreover, the Lu family had paid a hefty price for their trip to the north of the Yangtze River, and with all things considered, the Lu Family Head was the one who most wanted Ye Ling dead!

The old woman frowned and said, "We all know this, but the question is, who shall we send to kill him? Let it be clear, although our Zhang family's ancestor is at the Prince's realm, he has not shown his face for a long time. To ask him to take action, you all will owe our Zhang family a favor!"

The Wu Family Head angrily said, "What kind of time is this, and you still have the nerve to talk about favors?!" Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire

"What do you think? Chen Dao is very likely a Prince, and without deploying a Prince, we have no assurance of victory in this battle! We must at least kill one or two of Ye Ling's subordinates, otherwise, it won't be a show of force but an invitation for them to come and crush our prestige!"

A group of people immediately started arguing, for while there were few experts at the Imperial Path realm in the Long (Dragon) Kingdom, there were also not many at the Prince's realm.

The fact that the King of the Eastern Sea sought an heir who had reached the Prince's level showed that to be crowned a king, one must be at least at the Prince's realm!

But how many Princes did the whole Long Kingdom have?

If there were several people at the Prince's realm within the four great families of Lu, Wu, Zhang, and Song, they wouldn't have to be so fearful. They could simply wait for Ye Ling to arrive and then crush him and his party!

Seeing the Family Heads arguing noisily, the Lu Family Head coldly curled the corner of his mouth and lit a cigarette.

He spoke only after they had finished their quarrel, "I've said to lead the disaster elsewhere, and to kill using someone else's hand—there's no need to send our own ancestors. Don't we have a malignant tumor in the north of the Yangtze River, the Life Sect? Let's find them!"

The rest exclaimed in unison, "The Life Sect?!"

This Life Sect, as suggested by its name, was known to be a sect with religious beliefs.

However, what they worshiped was not Confucianism, Taoism, or Buddhism, but witchcraft, and the cultivation techniques they practiced were exceedingly venomous.

They kept a low profile, took money for assassinations, and were exceedingly sinister in their dealings.

Although the four great families had increasingly strayed from the righteous path, they still dared not entangle themselves with an evil organization like the Life Sect, for fear they might be sold out and forced to count the money for their own betrayal.

But now, to teach Ye Ling a lesson, they were about to actively associate with such an evil cult!

"Exactly," the gleam in the Lu Family Head's eyes was sharp. "The Life Sect has had contact with me before, but in the past, I've always kept them at arm's length without getting too deeply involved. However, given the special circumstances, we can pay a price to have them take action. If Ye Ling can be cut down in the north of the Yangtze River... hmph!"

"Alright, let's find them!"

Above the Yangtze River, a luxurious grand ship was swiftly moving.

Jiangbei and Jinling faced each other across the long river, but Jinling City had always held the advantages of the right time and place since ancient times, making it extremely prosperous.

Meanwhile, Jiangbei was somewhat inferior in terms of resources. Apart from its vast and perilous terrain, it lacked any special products, and its economy lagged far behind other regions.

Ye Ling stood on the deck enjoying the breeze, with Chen Dao, Ye Jiu, and others naturally accompanying him at his side.

Besides the crew, the only others in the cabin were those few cowardly young masters huddled together.

"My lord, once we arrive, do we directly eradicate the major clans, or do we start with diplomacy and then fight after taking enough advantages, later bringing them under our control?"

Chen Dao rubbed his hands with eager anticipation, his fists itching for action. As a militant maniac, he was very eager for a fight.

And those major clans in Jiangbei were foolish enough to provoke my lord. He, too, wished to eradicate these families for Ye Ling!

Ye Ling gave him a glance and shook his head, "You have too much aggression in you! But if those major clans are sensible, then have Liu Qingyun take over their control. If they're not... huh!"

A single "huh" fully expressed Ye Ling's attitude.

Chen Feng excitedly said, "Traveling with my lord to the south and causing havoc in the north is the most interesting, it's like watching all the fools in the world! I hope these major clans will be sensible."

The ship moved quickly, and before long, the vague outline of the shore was visible.

Compared to the prosperity of Jinling, Jiangbei was indeed much less developed.

The river water surged, and the ship soon reached the shore. Before anyone disembarked, two strangely dressed men had already boarded the ship.

One was tall, in his early thirties, with a handsome face and impressive bearing, and carried a black and gold greatsword on his back.

The other man looked to be in his early twenties, with a soft and feminine appearance, even wearing eyeliner and makeup!

His loose black robe hung slackly on his shoulders, giving him a lascivious and seductive air, not at all like a decent person.

"Damn, a hermaphrodite?"

Chen Dao exclaimed in shock, instantly feeling the itch to punch something.

As a man's man, the thing he despised most was men like this effeminate fellow.

"Hermaphrodite my ass!"

The effeminate man spoke out in anger, his voice even carrying a soft and delicate feminine tone.

Ye Ling and the others instantly wore expressions as if they had been struck by lightning, their surprise being apparent. As normal men who usually mixed with the military, encountering such an androgynous person was truly astonishing.

Ye Ling frowned slightly and spoke coldly, "Are you here for us?"

His gaze swept over the two men before him, and he quickly made a judgment. Both men actually had the cultivation of mid-level Kings of War, and the man carrying the greatsword was even on the verge of breaking through to a high-level King of War.

When had such a small place as Jiangbei ever harbored such powerful experts, even more formidable than Chen Dao and the others by a margin?

The man with the greatsword said solemnly, "Indeed, we've long heard of Northern Liao King's great name. My brother and I have been waiting here for some time, eager to learn a thing or two from Northern Liao King!"
