Chapter 95: Slipping Away【Please follow】
"Father!" The man stepped forward and cupped his hands to Xu Xu Zhiyuan.
This man was the current head of the Xu Clan, Xu Xu Shangdong, an eighth-rank Great Wu Shi.
"Is there any news of Xu Shixiong?" Xu Xu Zhiyuan asked.
"Not for the time being, but the Three-Clan Alliance has been quietly gathering forces these past few days. I suspect they might start an uprising very soon." Xu Xu Shangdong said in a deep voice.
"Xu Shixiong is missing, and the Three-Clan Alliance is gathering forces!" Xu Xu Zhiyuan's expression changed again, his eyes involuntarily revealing a look of grief and indignation.
"Father, what do you mean by this?" Seeing this, Xu Xu Shangdong felt his heart shake and quickly asked.
"They might have long since realized that the one assassinating the Great Martial Masters in their camp was Xu Shixiong, so they designed a trap using the Hidden Dragon Martial Hall as bait to lure Xu Shixiong to go, and then besieged and killed him!
Even your Uncle Xu Zhicheng was designed and ambushed by them under the guise of pursuing the Ji Clan. My Xu Clan has lost two eighth-rank Great Martial Masters in succession, and our strength is greatly damaged, while in their hearts, I am still an old and frail Grandmaster.
If they don't take action to destroy my Xu Clan now, when will they?" Xu Xu Zhiyuan said with a murderous aura. The qi and blood power in his body surged wildly, and wisps of power escaped from his pores, stirring the surrounding airflow and whipping up fallen leaves, blowing his sleeves.
"Ah, Xu Shixiong!" Xu Xu Shangdong roared at the sky.
After a long while, Xu Xu Shangdong finally calmed down, his eyes red, and he said in a deep voice, "Father, I will go gather the forces!"
"Originally, I wanted to wait until Xu Shixiong broke through to become a Grandmaster before sweeping through the Three-Clan Alliance. Now, there is no need. You go gather the forces, and you must be fast!
I gave Xu Shixiong a very precious fruit; he must be carrying it with him, so it must have fallen into the hands of the Three-Clan Alliance." Xu Xu Zhiyuan said in a deep voice, murderous intent flickering in his eyes.
Soon, the news that the Xu Clan was gathering forces on a large scale reached the Three-Clan Alliance.
"It seems the Xu Clan has already realized it. Start the uprising immediately, surround the Xu Clan!" Ding Mansion, council hall, Ding Ding Bangcheng slapped the armrest of his chair violently and stood up abruptly.
Soon, the entire Ding Mansion became busy.
Ding Clan disciples began to split up to gather the forces they were responsible for.
Ding Ding Chuyong broke into the backyard where Liang Liang Jingtang and his five disciples were temporarily staying, full of murderous intent.
"Bring your weapons and set off with me immediately!" As soon as Ding Ding Chuyong broke into the backyard, he issued an order without room for doubt.
"Are we going to attack the Xu Clan?" Master Yuchi Xiao immediately jumped up and asked.
"Nonsense, use your brain; does this still need to be asked? Leave immediately!" Seeing that it was only one of Liang Liang Jingtang's disciples jumping out to ask, Ding Ding Chuyong scolded him unceremoniously.
Master Yuchi Xiao turned to look at Xia Daoming upon hearing this.
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry!" Seeing Master Yuchi Xiao didn't react but instead turned to look at Xia Daoming, Ding Ding Chuyong became annoyed.
"Senior Brother didn't want to punch him to death? Now you can!" Xia Daoming said lightly.
"Can I really?" Master Yuchi Xiao said excitedly.
"The arrow is on the string and must be fired; now they should have no time to care about us, of course you can!" Xia Daoming said.
"What are you talking about?" Ding Ding Chuyong was confused.
Answering Ding Ding Chuyong was an iron fist that kept enlarging in his pupils.
Terrifying airflow rushed toward his face along with that iron fist.
"Seventh rank!" Ding Ding Chuyong's face turned pale, his eyes filled with terror to the extreme, as if he had suddenly seen a ghost in broad daylight.
"Boom!"
The iron fist hit Ding Ding Chuyong's face solidly.
The middle part of Ding Ding Chuyong's face sank in immediately.
Ding Ding Chuyong fell to the ground facing the sky.
Ding Ding Chuyong had just fallen when Master Yuchi Xiao had already stepped forward again, using a snake-head punch, and drilled it fiercely into his temple like a drill.
Ding Ding Chuyong's head tilted, his eyeballs bulged, and he died on the spot.
"Damn, a mere sixth rank dares to act arrogantly in front of me, a seventh-rank Great Wu Shi; I've long wanted to punch your head off!" Looking at the dead Ding Ding Chuyong, Master Yuchi Xiao finally felt satisfied.
"Alright, stop showing off! We can slip out and meet up with the Ji Clan's people." Liang Liang Jingtang stepped forward and slapped Master Yuchi Xiao on the back of the head again.
"Oh, okay, Master." Master Yuchi Xiao rubbed the back of his head and responded with quite a bit of disappointment.
Soon, the five master and disciples took advantage of the Ding family's large-scale gathering and slipped out of the Ding Mansion along a path they had observed for the past few days.
On the way, they occasionally encountered those who didn't know better, and Master Yuchi Xiao would immediately rush up and give them an explosive punch.
"The seventh-rank realm is truly refreshing!" Slipping out of the Ding Mansion, looking back at the Ding Mansion in the sunlight, where people were moving and the cold light of blades and spears was flashing, full of murderous intent, Master Yuchi Xiao was still unsatisfied.
"Hmph, if it weren't for Daoming's foresight to relocate all the family members first, leaving you with no worries, you try being refreshed for me to see now? You wouldn't even have time to cry!" Liang Liang Jingtang scolded him unceremoniously.
Damn, you unfilial disciple, you only know how to steal the limelight; I am also at the seventh rank!
Couldn't you have left one or two of those who didn't know better on the road for me, so I could also enjoy the seventh-rank addiction!
"Indeed, indeed, Junior Brother is truly brilliant! Look at the others; even if they are afraid now, they have to bite the bullet for the sake of their families!" Master Yuchi Xiao nodded repeatedly.
Ding Mansion.
Ding Ding Banghong looked at his grandson, whose head was beaten into an unrecognizable state, his face iron-blue.
He regretted it in his heart!
He thought his plan was seamless: first sell a favor to Liang Liang Jingtang, let their family members go, then leak the news to the Xu Clan, let the Xu Clan intercept and kill their family members, and make both sides fight to the death!
As a result, after all his calculations, he missed human nature!
Liang Liang Jingtang and the others cherished their own lives more, preferring to give up their great hatred to escape while in chaos!
It was just a pity for his grandson, whom he had placed high hopes on.
"Clan Elder, what should we do now?" A martial master asked cautiously.
"The overall situation is important! After destroying the Xu Clan, we will pursue and kill them!" Ding Ding Banghong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
It's not like he only had one grandson!
If they couldn't destroy the Xu Clan this time, then probably not a single grandson would be left!
The setting sun hung behind the West City Gate of Li Cheng, dyeing the sky red.
The sound of blades rubbing and warhorses' hooves pounding the ground sounded loudly on the street.
On the wide road leading to the Xu Clan, the vanguard, composed of affiliated forces, martial masters and servants raised by the Three-Clan Alliance, and some disciples, was marching forward in a mighty and murderous manner toward the Xu Clan.
Behind them was a cavalry troop of forty-eight people moving slowly.
The cavalrymen were all tall and powerful, with surging qi and blood power.
The three leaders were all clan elders and elders of the Three-Clan Alliance, eighth-rank Great Martial Masters.
And the forty-five cavalrymen behind them were all sixth-rank Great Martial Masters.
They were not only wearing pitch-black armor, but even their entire heads were covered by helmets, leaving only two eye holes that projected cold gazes.
The warhorses under them were tall, with strong muscles, all covered with a layer of fish-scale armor, and even the horses' heads were wearing face guards.
On both sides of the horse's back hung a special saddlebag, one side filled with javelins, the other side hanging a long bow and arrow quiver.
Every knight had two giant blades crossed on their backs.
The blood-red setting sun spilled onto the bluestone-paved street, reflecting on the cavalrymen's pitch-black armor, refracting dots of cold light, making people feel palpitations.
This was the elite force that the Three-Clan Alliance had painstakingly cultivated and trained at all costs over the years, specifically to deal with Xu Xu Zhiyuan!
Behind the forty-eight cavalry army were the core disciples of the Three-Clan Alliance.
The heads and clan elders of the three clans led the way, with the core disciples following behind; Ding Chu Shan also mingled among this batch of core disciples.
