Chapter 737: Is a Change Coming?!
Just as the Mu Family’s branch was enveloped in a tense atmosphere before battle, the people at the main Lingxiao Palace breathed a huge sigh of relief!
The Qin Yun sisters were full of confidence.
They never expected that Yipin Hall still had a trump card—not only had they hidden their strength, but they had also made several moves that revealed their remarkable capabilities while diverting the Mu Family’s attention.
Everything shown by Huang Sha and Meng Yun made the Qin Yun sisters completely relieved. Without hesitation, they agreed to form an alliance and, as per their agreement, sent all the experts from Longmen back into the game.
“Longmen Leader, I’ve done what needs to be done. Now, I need you to do something for us…” After a pause, the middle-aged man across from Qin Yun added, “Don’t worry. I’ll fulfill your request. Starting today, for the next three months, a hundred craftsmen from Longmen can obtain our materials for free to create pills and equipment for us… And we at Lingxiao Palace will ensure your safety in the Central Plains.”
“With the words of the Qin Palace Master, I’m relieved.”
The middle-aged man smiled.
Not long after logging off, a group of Longmen experts who had attacked the Mu Family’s branch and fled here came in through the door. They were all tall and strong, physically fit.
“Tell us what you need us to do.”
The middle-aged man reappeared across from Qin Yun, his face filled with a gentle smile.
“Help us launch another attack on the Mu Family’s branch…” Qin Yun glanced around at the experts in the room, then slowly said, “This time, destroying the branch is secondary. The key is to ensure not a single person from the Mu Family escapes, especially their leaders…” She had already learned that many high-ranking members of the Mu Family had come to Yangzhou City, with some of the top 100 experts sent from various branches. If they could eliminate these people, it would be like cutting off a limb of the Mu Family!
“No problem!”
The middle-aged man nodded without hesitation, then changed his tone, “But we have a condition too. Your people should take the lead in the attack. After all, we’re few in number and better suited for assassinations.” In fact, when he heard about the alliance between the two top gangs, he had anticipated this moment.
Yipin Hall saw Lingxiao Palace’s hidden ace; Lingxiao Palace saw Yipin Hall’s strength and determination to confront the Mu Family. The two sides quickly reached an agreement.
“Deal.”
…
A few minutes later, Lingxiao Palace’s forces mobilized rapidly, seizing control of many streets and flooding toward the Mu Family’s branch.
In Yangzhou City, panic reigned!
A middle-aged man stood on the steps of the main altar in Lingxiao Palace and gave a signal. Twenty-nine elite black-clothed warriors from Longmen moved like the wind, disguising themselves and blending into the crowd!
…
Meanwhile, as the many experts from Lingxiao Palace gathered to head to the branch hall of the Mu family, a large mansion nearby suddenly opened its doors. A group of young men and women with blood droplets embroidered on their chests followed solemnly behind the Lingxiao Palace forces…
Along the way, many members of various gangs gasped in shock!
“The First-Class Hall!”
“They from the First-Class Hall have also joined in.”
“This is bad—the Mu family is in big trouble!”
On the rooftops, many experts swiftly took to the rooftops as well…
On the streets stretching in all directions, crowds surged densely toward the Mu family’s residence.
Soon!
The branch hall of the Mu family was completely filled with an overwhelming tide of people.
On the streets…
Some disciples of the Mu family, upon seeing such a scene, quickly hid in nearby restaurants or inns for safety. Those who were slower were overpowered or even killed on the spot.
A faint scent of blood hung in the air over Yangzhou City!
…
Thud! Thud thud thud!!! The sound of hooves echoed loudly.
On a remote road thousands of miles away from Yangzhou, a lone rider sped along like he was part of the wind, galloping nonstop at lightning speed.
On the horseback, Kai Xin’s expression was grave.
Upon learning about the First-Class Hall’s brutal attacks and the alliance between the two top gangs, he realized things were bad. Ignoring the Tianmo Secret Cavern the next day, he mounted his horse and sent messages to Yin Hu and the others while riding.
Actually…
Ever since Xu Yao overheard that order yesterday, he had a vague sense that trouble was coming, so he didn’t stay in the Tianmo Secret Cavern for long, keeping people monitoring all developments in the martial world.
Sure enough, trouble had arisen…
He knew Meng Yun too well.
That woman would only take extreme measures when there was no other choice, as long as there was a way to avoid it!
If she was willing to waste so much time planning and making a public show of opposing the Mu family, it must mean she had a foolproof plan…
This time!
The branch hall of the Mu family in Yangzhou City was in danger!
Yin Hu and his group were all in danger!!!
…
In the past, Kai Xin could have used a strategy like “besieging Wei to rescue Zhao,” but now he was facing a joint attack from the First-Class Hall and Lingxiao Palace, with Meng Yun and Huang Sha having reached a certain level of power.
He had to save the people of Yangzhou City…
Yin Hu, Feng Ling, Xiao Bei—they couldn’t be hurt.
Without them, the Mu family would be like a building without a supporting pillar. The entire structure was on the verge of collapse!!!
……
On horseback, Kai Xin would occasionally receive homing pigeons from many people. There were offers of assistance from within the Mu Family, such as Lei Zhan, Feng Wu Cai Yi, Mo Mo, Bao Long, and others. These people had already learned through homing pigeons about the critical situation of Yin Hu and others in Yangzhou City, and they all said they had assembled their forces and could be sent to Yangzhou at any time. But Kai Xin rejected all these offers……
The more critical the situation, the more necessary it was to stay calm! Lei Zhan and Mo Mo couldn’t leave—after all, that was the main headquarters of the Mu Family. No expert from there could be easily removed, as it might undermine the foundation of the Mu Family if something went wrong. Feng Wu Cai Yi was in the Western Regions, too far from Yangzhou; distant help couldn’t solve immediate problems! Bao Long’s faction was relatively weak; they were barely enough to protect the Tian Mo branch, so sending them out wouldn’t help much.
During this time, homing pigeons also arrived from the Xie Yi Men, Feng Yu Meng, and Xi Feng Lou. Lin Xiao, Ye Yu Su Feng, and Mei Ying all said they could do their best to assist the Mu Family……
But at such a time, Kai Xin not only had to worry about the safety of the Mu Family but also didn’t want Yangzhou to be completely destroyed. A clash among the four top factions could disrupt the entire martial world of the Central Plains, giving foreign forces an opportunity to expand their influence. If that happened, Kai Xin would bear heavy responsibility!
So, in the end, Kai Xin politely declined their aid one by one, as even he wasn’t sure about the situation in Yangzhou or whether its branch could hold out until he arrived. Sending reinforcements recklessly in the face of uncertainty would only give Yi Pin Tang and Ling Xiao Gong more chances to wipe out their forces, and Yi Pin Tang might even take the opportunity to advance southward. How could Kai Xin give them such an opportunity?
However……
At a time like this, the strength of these people could still be utilized! If something really happened to the people of Yangzhou City…… Kai Xin had no problem going crazy with them! He would make them pay the price!!!
