Chapter 880: Chapter 874: Reactions from All Parties (Second Update)
“What secret?” Upon hearing Liu Jingshan’s words, everyone looked at him with curious eyes, waiting for his answer.
“During the investigation, I discovered that Broken Blade was killed in Modu,” Liu Jingshan said heavily.
“What? Broken Blade was killed in Modu? How is that possible?”
Upon hearing Liu Jingshan’s words, everyone in the conference room couldn’t help but gasp. Who was Broken Blade? A mber of the Sky Group. mbers of the Sky Group could be considered elites among elites. As long as they didn’t die, reaching the Mythical Realm was almost a certainty.
They had heard of the deaths of Sky Group mbers before, but each ti it was t with the Yanhuang Group’s furious uproar, who wouldn’t rest until the culprit was eradicated. However, Broken Blade’s death hadn’t stirred any waves within the Yanhuang Group, as if Broken Blade had never existed. This was shocking. There were only two explanations for this: first, the Yanhuang Group couldn’t deal with the person who killed Broken Blade, or soone within the Yanhuang Group had suppressed the matter and didn’t want to pursue Broken Blade’s death.
Seeing the expressions on everyone’s faces, Liu Jingshan spoke again, “I believe everyone knows Broken Blade’s identity. He’s backed by the Yang Family. Besides that, I also discovered another piece of information, and that is…”
Liu Jingshan took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions because he looked like he’d seen a ghost when he saw this information.
“That information is that before Broken Blade’s death, Liu Ang, a supporter of the Yang Family, had gone to Modu once. He returned in a sorry state, with one arm severed. Although the Yang Family publicly claid that Liu Ang had encountered a powerful enemy, further investigation revealed that the timing of Liu Ang’s injury and Broken Blade’s death almost perfectly matched. It’s highly likely that Broken Blade was killed by Lu Tianxing. From this, we can infer that it’s very possible Lu Tianxing was the one who severed Liu Ang’s arm. In other words, Lu Tianxing’s strength might have already reached the middle-stage of the Mythical Realm.”
“Middle-stage of the Mythical Realm? That’s impossible. Family Head, this is not a joke. Liu Ang is a middle-stage Mythical Realm expert. How old is Lu Tianxing? Even if he has reached the middle-stage, he couldn’t possibly match Liu Ang, could he? Liu Ang has been at the middle-stage for many years; how is this possible?”
“Liu Lian is right, Family Head. Are you perhaps overestimating Lu Tianxing? Maybe it’s all just a coincidence in timing.”
“Yes, I can believe he killed Broken Blade, but saying he severed Liu Ang’s arm, I wouldn’t believe it even if you beat to death.”
Liu Jingshan’s words were like a thunderclap, making the study noisy. Everyone’s face showed disbelief. Liu Ang was a supporter of the Yang Family, an invincible middle-stage Mythical Realm expert. Even if Lu Tianxing had reached the middle-stage, Liu Ang had entered that stage first, and his True Qi quality was certainly better. Severing Liu Ang’s arm seed almost impossible.
“Quiet, why are you all making a racket? Do you think this is a market?”
After waiting for a while and seeing that everyone was still discussing, Liu Yaoyang heavily slamd the table and looked at Liu Jingshan, saying, “Continue.”
Liu Jingshan nodded and said, “It’s for this reason that I have grounds to suspect the Yang Family. Everyone knows that Lu Tianxing has had conflicts with both the Wang and Liu families, and we have suffered losses at his hands. According to conventional logic, after suffering losses, revenge is naturally expected. The incident at Tanqin Gorge is the best example. However, not many people know about the conflicts between the Yang Family and Lu Tianxing. If the Yang Family chose this mont to take action against Lu Tianxing, as long as they weren’t caught, all suspicions would fall on our Liu Family and the Wang Family, not the Yang Family. The Yang Family would eliminate their enemy and, in the process, suppress both the Liu and Wang families—a triple win. No one would refuse such a good deal.”
“So, I suspect that the Yang Family might have acted.”
Listening to Liu Jingshan, Liu Yaoyang was silent, pondering for a mont before speaking again, “Jingshan, you’re right, but you’ve overlooked one thing.”
Liu Jingshan was slightly taken aback, “Dad, you an…?”
“I an there’s also a fourth force in Beijing. The Yang Family indeed has its suspicions, but I know Old Man Yang’s character. He wouldn’t take such a risk. The Tanqin Gorge incident has already made Sima Lingyun dissatisfied with the Beijing families. Old Man Yang wouldn’t choose to provoke Sima Lingyun’s nerves at this critical juncture.”
“Moreover, you’ve overlooked another thing. If Lu Tianxing has the capability to sever Liu Ang’s arm, it shows his strength is quite formidable. To kill him would require a true expert, and how many true experts does the Yang Family have? Especially how many Mythical Realm experts? To kill Lu Tianxing, a single strike must be fatal. If a Mythical Realm expert entangles him and delays until the Yanhuang Group arrives, it would be a complete failure and bring endless trouble.”
“So, the Yang Family won’t make a move. Additionally, you neglected that Ma Lingyun and Mu Qingchuan appeared at the Wealth Mansion with bloodstains, looking sowhat disheveled. It’s evident that this force not only attacked the Wealth Mansion but also ambushed Ma Lingyun halfway, delaying his arrival.”
Liu Yaoyang took a deep breath, paused for a mont for everyone to digest the information, and then continued, “And those who dared to ambush Yanhuang Group mbers are definitely not from the various Beijing families. They have the ability but not the courage. If caught, the Supre Elder of the Yanhuang Group would eliminate their family. They dare not do this, so I firmly believe it must be a fourth force.”
anwhile, as the Liu family held their family eting, the Wang family was doing the sa.
However, compared to the carefree atmosphere of the Liu family, the Wang family’s eting was extrely oppressive. Wang Anlong’s face was ashen, looking like a volcano about to erupt, with a gloomy and explosive aura.
Everyone kept their heads down, cautious, not daring to breathe loudly for fear of provoking Wang Anlong, who was in a rage. The recently slapped-to-death servant was the best cautionary tale.
Wang Anlong sat in his seat, his expression shifting. He knew the situation at the Wealth Mansion wasn’t caused by the Wang family. He wasn’t foolish enough to provoke Sima Lingyun’s nerves at this critical mont.
But the information from the Wealth Mansion indicated that the attacker wore a crying-face mask, clearly a mber of Heavenly God. Although this matter had nothing to do with the Wang family, the Wang family and Heavenly God were partners. Regardless of their involvent, Lu Tianxing would likely bla the Wang family.
Thanks to the brothers’ rewards!!!!!!
