" What?!"
Sikong Changfeng and Li Hanyi exclaimed in surprise when they heard the gatekeeping disciple's report.
What kind of place was Heavenly City?
Dragon's Pool and Tiger's Den!
The King of Shu had just finished killing the three clans of the officials in Yizhou when Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo went over!
Wasn't this just walking into the muzzle of a gun?
Although the news they received proved that the King of Shu had started the massacre because of the slander of these Yizhou officials, they were still not convinced.
But who knew what the King of Shu was thinking?
What if the King of Shu wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys and wanted to control the entire Yizhou?
Then wouldn't Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo walk right into a trap if they headed to Heavenly City?
Who didn't know that Sikong Qian Luo was the Snow Moon City's Young Miss?
Very few people knew that Lei Wujie was Li Han Yi's younger brother.
But it was hard to guarantee that His Highness the King of Shu did not know.
With Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo as hostages.
If that King of Shu wanted to control Snow Moon City, wouldn't it be easy?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.
Sikong Changfeng secretly clenched his fists and said in a deep voice,"
"Qian Luo, this girl, how can you be so mischievous!”
Li Han Yi held the hilt of her sword. Her face was cold as she said,"
"This Xiao Se actually dared to put Wujie in such a dangerous place! If Wujie is injured, I will not forgive him!”
Pondering for a moment, Li Han Yi put on his mask and said,"
"I'm going to Heavenly City! Let's meet the King of Shu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Han Yi turned into a wisp of Sword Qi and flew away.
Sikong Changfeng also wanted to follow.
However, as the City Lord, he couldn't just abandon the massive Snow Moon City.
With a long sigh, he looked at Fairy Luo Xia and said,"
"Fairy Luo Xia, can you go to Heavenly City for me? Qian Luo, she…"
Yin Luaxia understood that the three city lords were worried about their daughter.
She nodded and said,"
"Alright, I'll go find Qian Luo."
With that, Yin Luaxia turned into a ray of light and rushed toward Tian Fu City.
Only Lei Yunhe and Sikong Changfeng were left in the meeting hall.
The two of them looked at each other and could not help but sigh.
"Your Highness the King of Shu, what are you trying to do?”
………………
The King of Shu killed thousands of people in one night, and the entire Heavenly City was covered in blood.
This matter spread to all the factions.
Longxi, Li Ancestral Hall.
This place was where the Li Clan of Longxi, the leader of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, resided.
In the entire Longxi, people with the surname Li made up eighty to ninety percent of the population.
As a prestigious family with hundreds of years of accumulation.
Longxi's Li clan had produced many talented people in the past dynasties!
History of the Warring States Period, Li Xin, a famous general of the State of Qin;
In the Han Dynasty, Li Guang, the general of Fei;
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the King of Western Liang, Li Hao, and so on!
Even the founding emperor of the Great Tang, Li Yuan, was a descendant of the Li family of Longxi.
People all over the world who talk about Li are from Longxi.
In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Longxi was the home of dragons!
As the most powerful and influential of the five surnames and seven Wangs.
Although this generation's Li Clan Head didn't have a noble title, his status wasn't any lower than the King of a different surname!
Li Taixu, the head of the Li family, was sitting on an armchair.
He wore gold and silver, and the jade pendant hanging on his waist was the same as the royal family's.
Looking at the secret letter in his hand, Lee Taixu snorted coldly.
He raised his hand and placed the secret letter into the brazier, burning it to ashes.
He said coldly,
"This King of Shu with impure blood, is he crazy?”
"If you want to kill people to establish your authority, isn't it enough to kill the Yizhou Provincial Governor? He actually uprooted the power that I had rooted in for many years! You really don't know your limits!"
"If I don't teach him a lesson, I really don't know who's in charge in Yizhou!”
Although Longxi wasn't in Yizhou, many of the Li Clan's businesses were in Yizhou.
In order to make the business do well, the officials of Yizhou were naturally planted by him, Lee Taixu.
After a few years of development, he finally took complete control of the entire Yizhou.
Now, the King of Shu had just taken office and uprooted Li Taixu's power in Yizhou!
How could he accept this?
Li Consortium's butler said obsequiously,"
"Lord Patriarch, if you want to vent your anger, why don't you let An He take action?”
Lee Taixu narrowed his eyes and snorted,"
"Dark River is preparing for a big event, how can he be free?”
The butler smiled and bowed. He said respectfully,
"Lord Patriarch, the Head of the Underground River Clan, Su Changhe, requests an audience.”
Lee Taixu raised his eyebrows.
Su Changhe requested an audience?
Could it be that the preparations for the underground river were almost done?
Lee Taixu nodded and said,"
"Xuan."
The butler bowed and left.
At the same time, the maids and servants in the garden also retreated.
The things he had discussed with the people from the underground river were all confidential.
If anyone dared to eavesdrop, they would be tortured to death by the underground river!
The people of the Li Clan Ancestral Hall were very clear about the methods of the underground river.
Needling nails with silver needles was child's play.
The underground river's methods of torture were only unimaginable. There was nothing that they could not do.
After everyone in the garden cleared their mouths, Su Changhe, the leader of the underground river clan, walked over gloomily.
Su Muyu, the ghost holding an oil-paper umbrella, came with him.
When the two of them stood together, they were like a pair of soul-snatching ghosts, shocking everyone.
Not only did they kill too many people, but the people of the underground river were also so sinister.
Wherever Su Changhe and Su Muyu passed by, the air was cold.
Even the petals in the garden were covered in a thin layer of frost.
However, facing Su Changhe and Su Muyu, these two sinister fellows…
Li Taixu, the head of the Li family, was calm and collected, without any expression on his face.
This was because this underground river was an assassination organization nurtured by the Li Clan of Longxi.
Li Taixu was equivalent to the head of the entire underground river!
Arriving in front of Lee Taixu, Su Changhe and Su Muyu cupped their hands and greeted,"
"Su Changhe, the leader of the underground river clan."
"Umbrella Ghost Su Muyu."
"Greetings, Patriarch!"
In this world, there weren't many people who could make Su Changhe and Su Muyu bow and greet them.
Li Shimin was one, and Li Taixu was another.
There were only two people in the world.
Lee Taixu nodded and said,"
"How did the task I asked you to do go?”
Su Changhe said,"
"Reporting to Patriarch, all arrangements have been made.”
"For this operation, the Tang Sect has sent out three senior elders. They have cultivated the Tang Sect's hidden weapons to perfection.”
"The people of the underground river need not say much.”
"This time, the underground river sent Xie Qidao, Su Muyu, Mu, and me.”
"To be on the safe side, the underground river even allied with Raging Sword Immortal.”
"There will be no mistakes in this mission!”
Lee Taixu nodded and said,"
"Using such a lineup to destroy the Lei Clan is a little too flattering!”
Su Changhe said,"
"It's always good to be safe. Lei Wujie was the younger brother of Sword Immortal Xue Yue, while Li Han Yi's father was also from the Lei Clan Fortress. Li Han Yi might even stop them from destroying the Lei Family.”
Hearing Su Changhe's words, Lee Taixu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
No wonder Su Changhe could become the patriarch of the underground river at such a young age.
Such meticulous thinking was truly flawless.
"Alright, this matter was done beautifully.”
"However, there's still something I need you to do.”
The corners of Su Changhe's mouth curled up slightly. He bowed and asked,"
"I don't know if the clan head is talking about the matter of His Highness the King of Shu.”
Seeing that Su Changhe knew his intentions, Lee Taixu snorted and said,"
"You sure are well-informed."
Su Changhe shook his head and said,
"His Highness the King of Shu was young and arrogant. In a fit of anger, he beheaded thousands of people in one night. How could the underground river not know about such big news?”
Lee Taixu took a sip of hot tea and said,"
"If Li Ke gets rid of my Yizhou's power, then I will make him lose his beauty.”
Su Changhe frowned and asked,"
"Patriarch, do you want to get rid of Ye Ruoyi?”
Lee Taixu did not answer, but nodded.
Su Changhe couldn't help but feel troubled by this goal.
"Patriarch, Ye Ruoyi is the only daughter of Great General Ye Xiaoying. If we kill her, there might be changes.”
Lee Taixu smiled contemptuously and said,"
"What are you worried about? Ye Xiaoying asked the Emperor to marry his daughter to the King of Shu. He is determined to support the King of Shu and oppose us. Killing her daughter and sparing his life was already a gift.”
"If Ye Xiaoying dares to disobey, just kill him.”
"There are too many generals in the Great Tang who can win battles. Killing Ye Xiaoying won't hurt them at all.”
"Ye Ruoyi, there's no harm in killing her."
Su Changhe didn't worry anymore after hearing what the family head, Li Taixu, said.
He bowed and left.
Before he left, Lee Taixu also emphasized,"
"Make it clean."
What he meant by 'clean', was to kill all ten households within the radius of Ye Ruoyi's residence.
Kill the weeds by the roots and leave no survivors!
Su Changhe felt a chill in his heart.
It was said that the Underground River Assassins were ruthless and killed without blinking.
However, the ones who truly treated life like grass were these people in gorgeous clothes.
A single word from them could kill hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people.
