Chapter 52: Storm is Coming
At the same time, the Li family of Yuzhong City in Tianmu Territory.
A white-haired elder was sitting at the top. Although he looked quite old, he was in good spirits. At this moment, the Li family meeting room was silent. Only the sound of the elder's heavy breathing could be heard. Then everyone heard him say:
“Tian’er’s revenge must be taken, but the current situation is chaotic, and it is not suitable for our Li family to mobilize in large numbers. Li Xiao, you take thirty people who have perfected the marrow refining and ten people who have reached the second level of Qi refining to Jinyang City. I only have one request, bring back Lin Mo’s body!
There are others who will notify the six families to send some people over. After all, we have already reached an alliance beforehand, and we can also ask them to help share the attention of the Great Mo Dynasty. This is a personal vendetta! I wonder who can stop us! I wonder who dares to stop us!"
A calm middle-aged man in his thirties sitting below clasped his fists and said yes, then walked out of the conference hall.
Then the others left the meeting room one after another, leaving only an old man and a man in a brocade robe. The man said:
"Father, why don't you let me lead the people there myself ? Tian'er is my only son!"
The old man no longer had the temperament that he had held for a long time in a high position. His energy and spirit seemed to have dissipated in an instant, and he became an ordinary old man. He only said word by word:
"Li Feng, you are the next patriarch of the Li family. The government is watching your every move very closely. How many families in the Great Mo Dynasty have been destroyed recently? We can't let them find an opportunity. You have to endure it until the new emperor ascends the throne or other variables appear."
Li Feng clenched his hands and said, "I know, father. I will hold back."
The head of the Li family continued, "I only have one grandson, Tian'er. Don't worry, revenge will be taken. Lin Mo can only deal with those at the first level of Qi training at best. The remaining families will also send people to attack. The encirclement and killing situation is complete.
We don't have more time to hate each other. This time it is also a test to see if we can gain a foothold in Jinyang City and also to test the reaction of the Great Mo Dynasty.
Even if you want to go to Jinyang City, you have to wait until the underground palace is closed and all the disciples of the major forces in Jinyang City have dispersed. I know that this grudge is not only because of Lin Mo, the more crucial one is Liu Emei of the Yuenu Sword Society, she used her charm to confuse Tian'er's mind from the beginning.
But we can't afford to offend the Yuenu Sword Society, and we can't even provoke such an inner sect disciple, so just focus on developing the Li family. When you get through this most difficult time, I can allow you to use the resources of your family to hire the Hidden Killing Institute to kill Liu Emei."
After hearing this, Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and left the meeting room.
After hearing the message from the Li family, the remaining six families each sent ten people who had completed the marrow refining stage and five people who had reached the first level of Qi refining to help.
That adds up to more than a hundred people. This kind of killing situation is already a fatal blow to someone who hasn't even reached the perfect stage of marrow refining.
In fact, the six families also wanted to test the bottom line of the imperial court. After all, each family had a hard time recently under the attack of the Mingmo Guards and the Yinmo Group. This time, they wanted to see what the Great Mo Dynasty would do under the pretext of avenging the murder of Sun by the head of the Li family.
After all, vendettas within the underworld are matters of the underworld. If the imperial court intervenes too much, it will cause dissatisfaction among a series of underworld forces, and may even lead to the involvement of some powerful forces.
The reason why the four great dynasties occupied most of the land in this world is because they followed the principles of the martial arts world. The four great dynasties were responsible for managing mortals who did not know martial arts. At the same time, they would also set up some armies and patrol departments to fight against the martial artists. However, in open confrontations, all parties would maintain a tacit understanding to avoid large-scale conflicts.
There are also many tricks between the four dynasties, and the major forces in the martial arts world are not a monolithic entity. For example, many disciples of the seven major families serve as officials in the court, and the grievances and hatreds between them are difficult to explain in a few words.
But now, as the deadline for Emperor Mo is approaching, in order to leave a relatively peaceful and complete Great Mo Dynasty for the new emperor, Emperor Mo's style of doing things has become more and more decisive and fierce.
Many methods were used to eliminate some underworld forces, but because the evidence was complete, all major forces acquiesced in this operation.
However, these small and medium-sized forces also suffered because of this. The six families in Tianmu Territory except the Li family would wait and see whether the Great Mo Dynasty would stop this personal grudge. After all, the cause was the murder of the only son of the Li family. If it caused the Great Mo court to intervene, those big forces that were already ready to move might also be involved, which gave these small forces a chance to survive.
Ignoring the increasingly chaotic Tianmu area, they were now inside the underground palace.
Among the remaining twelve people of the Tianmu Domain Alliance, Zhang Jia's Zhang Xian saw the contact between Lin Mo and the other two parties, and could not help but frowning. He originally thought that the melee at that time would be a four-way fight, but seeing the current situation, there is a great possibility that these twelve people will become the first to resolve the problem.
Zhang Xian is a very smart man. Although his status is not as high as Li Tian of the Li family, he is also a descendant of the Zhang family's head. When the Seven Families Alliance was proposed at that time, he had been increasing his own voice to a greater or lesser extent. But Li Tian, the troublemaker, messed up everything.
After a little thought, Zhang Xian discovered a key problem. There were no fools among the remaining three parties. They would not consume each other and let their side take advantage. At the same time, except for Lin Mo and the woman behind Liu Emei, all of them were from major forces. Naturally, they had their own pride.
Even if Digong loses, he will lose to people at the same level as himself. Although it is unknown why Lin Mo has been recognized by the disciples of these major forces, a dead end has now emerged.
Zhang Xian quickly thought about it and finally came to the conclusion that he should surrender immediately after entering the second trial. The remaining family disciples would not give up just because of his persuasion, and the two independent cultivators would certainly not give up either. Then they would just be stuck in endless wrangling.
Then I can only be ruthless. The most crucial point is that Lin Mo and the others can give me a chance to retreat. After all, after surrendering in the underground palace, I need to enter the gate to be teleported out. During this time, I may be killed by the opponent first.
Zhang Xian thought of this and said to the people around him, "I'm going to test Lin Mo's attitude and see if he knows that several families are teaming up to ambush and kill him."
People from other families also nodded.
Zhang Xian walked up to Lin Mo alone and said, "Hello, Young Master Lin ."
Lin Mo looked at Zhang Xian coldly as if he was looking at a dead person and said, "Yeah."
Zhang Xian knew his guess was correct when he saw Lin Mo's expression, and continued, "I hope Young Master Lin can let Zhang go this time. I can guarantee that the Zhang family outside will not interfere in the feud between Young Master Lin and the Li family."
Lin Mo perked up at this time. He didn't expect that there was someone who could see clearly among this bunch of good-for-nothings. He said with interest: "Can you guarantee it? On what basis can you guarantee it, or on what basis can I believe you?"
Zhang Xian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He knew that the following answer would determine his life or death. He had already made everything clear. If he did not satisfy Lin Mo, he would be the first to die in the second trial. So he said:
"Every family is not doing well in Tianmu Territory right now, so the people coming won't be too many or too strong. I am from the lineage of the Zhang family's patriarch. Although my status is not as high as Li Tian's, I have the right to make the decision among the Zhang family's visitors. At the same time, the little brother next to Young Master Lin should be a disciple of the Saint Medical Alliance. I can take poison to ensure all this."
Lin Mo immediately admired Zhang Xian's decisiveness. This was the first person he had met who was so cruel to him. Most people would have hoped for a chance, but it seemed that Zhang Xian knew very well that if he didn't trust him, he would be the first to be killed in the second trial.
Lin Mo nodded and said, "Let's talk about it in detail."
Zhang Xian breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed the critical moment of life and death.
