Chapter 461: The Shadow Family
The three princes and Yue Mingxuan did not sit here for a long time in Lu Chengfeng.
The strength of the two of them is extraordinary, not to mention how they behave in the world, so they naturally know that after the chaos in the afternoon, Lu Chengfeng will be very busy and have no time to entertain them. What's more, both of them also have something to report to the forces behind them. No matter what happened before, at least after today, their attitude towards Lu Chengfeng and the Tianguang Mercenary Group will be adjusted again.
As for the other Kaiyang forces, although they didn't dare to come to the door in person, they probably guessed something through various news channels, and they also fell into continuous shocks.
Behind the Tianguang mercenary group, which has not been rising for a long time, there may actually be a Holy Order to support it!
Like a hurricane, this news quickly spread throughout Kaiyang, causing a series of impacts. More people began to face up to this emerging powerful organization, and tried to establish a connection with the core figure Lu Chengfeng. It's a pity that the people they tried to visit in a roundabout way were no longer in Kaiyang at this time.
After dealing with the Three Princes and Yue Mingxuan, and suppressing the influence of the artifact's aura leakage, Lu Chengfeng sent Lu Kaitian away openly in front of countless spies near the mercenary group's station. In this way, even if there are still people who are worried about the artifact, they will only think that the Holy Rank powerhouse has already taken the artifact away. They couldn't have imagined that Lu Kaitian was willing to transfer the artifact bracelet to Lu Chengfeng, the eighth order.
Because of this incident, after Lu Kaitian left, Lu Chengfeng did not stay. Late that night, Lu Chengfeng got on a flying boat to the Tang River Empire alone through the relationship of Tianguang.
Chen Liu, Zu Liang and the reinforcement masters led by them have already set off two days in advance, and now they must have arrived at the family of Shaying. Because the situation over there should be quite tense, Lu Chengfeng was a little worried about their safety, and he couldn't wait to fly over immediately.
It's just that the trip to the Tang River Empire is thousands of miles away from here, and it is a cross-border journey, so it's useless to hurry.
After a night of flying, the flying ship stopped at the border between the Lanwu Empire and the Tang and He Empires. Since Lu Chengfeng had the title of the empire and was an eighth-order sword soul powerhouse, the soldiers who boarded the ship to inspect did not dare to make a mistake, and only symbolically checked it and immediately released it.
After some turnaround, Lu Chengfeng finally arrived in Wushun after a day and two nights.
This is the most core area of influence controlled by the Shadow Family.
As a medium-sized city, Wushun is undoubtedly much worse than Kaiyang. Wushun, which is built on the mountain, has a permanent population of only more than 500,000 people, and there are no mineral and monster resources nearby. In general, this is just an ordinary city. However, because the Changyuan River, a river that runs through the east and west of the Tang River Empire, flows nearby, Wushun has become an important town in the hinterland of the empire.
A large number of cargo ships unloaded, transshiped, and replenished at the wharf on the edge of Wushun City, and then continued on a new journey.
The family of Shaying relied on controlling the river transportation and became a famous family in the middle of the Tang River Empire. Even though the name is not as loud as the four families in the imperial capital, its power and influence are not much different.
For a long time, along the banks of the Changyuan River, the shadow family where the shadow shadow was located was a hegemon-level existence. Not to mention anything else, just the two ninth-order and the four eighth-order in the family are enough to ensure the safety of Wushun. But no one knows that at the moment, this huge family is facing an unprecedented crisis.
This crisis, as early as a few years ago, was forced to leave, and the hidden danger of the outbreak has been buried. At that time, Sha Ying was only a seventh-order high-level martial artist. Some people in the family didn't want him to get the right to inherit, so they used some dark means. It's just that they were afraid of Xilan, the master of the brake shadow, and they didn't dare to kill him, so they could only send the brake shadow far away on the grounds of family affairs.
His two uncles thought that they would be able to sit back and relax by driving Shadow away from the core of the family. And in the next few years, as Shadow was trapped in the Shadow Labyrinth and lost contact with the outside world, Shadow's two uncles felt more and more right. However, with the reappearance of the shadow last year and the promotion of his strength to the eighth order, his two uncles faintly felt uneasy in their hearts!
This uneasiness stems from the intransigence of the Shadow Brothers.
With the strong support of the two uncles, Sha Li, the elder brother of Sha Ying, once almost sat in the position of the next heir of the Shadow Family. However, in the years since the disappearance of the shadow of the brake, the performance of the brake is not satisfactory, which has caused the dissatisfaction of several family elders. Consciously or unconsciously, their position began to become precarious. At this time, the shadow sent back the news again, and it was not surprising that his two uncles would have ideas.
So, with a letter calling Shadow back, the two uncles questioned Shadow about the years since he disappeared, believing that he had not completed the task assigned by the family before leaving. Although the so-called mission itself was just a cover for banishing Brake, his two uncles held on to this and wanted to expel Brake Shadow from the family completely.
In that case, because there is no other option, the position of the brake will be re-established.
Originally, the two uncles' plans were going very well, but they underestimated the strength of the Shadow. After a few years of honing in the Shadow Labyrinth, the current Shadow is undoubtedly much better than the one who left the family back then. Whether it is combat power or mentality, it has made great progress. With the support of several other elders in the family, his two uncles' attempts to expel the Shadow failed.
Not only that, but they recalled Brake Shadow, but instead gave Brake Shadow a chance to return to the family and take power.
A fierce power struggle within the family began!
Because of the lack of strength, especially the fact that Shari himself couldn't support the wall, the two uncles of Sha Ying repeatedly fell behind in the infighting. The advantages accumulated in the previous years were all buried in less than half a year. Worried that after the shadow took over the power, the two uncles, who were unwilling to fail, began to secretly collude with people outside the family. With strong foreign aid, the confidence of the two has regained. This infighting, therefore, has continued until now, making the Shadow Family from a few years ago to a time to now in danger of falling apart!
It was with this realization that Shadow did not intend to drag it out. He decisively chose to ask Lu Chengfeng for help, and was ready to use this external force to solve the enemy in one go, and directly end this internal friction that could not see the light of day.
"That's why I asked you to come. ”
In the back garden of the Shadow Family, Sha Ying and Lu Chengfeng sat face to face in the flower hall, explaining to him the detailed reason for the incident with a haggard face. Because it involves shady family infighting, it is really not a glorious thing to say, so Shadow is quite depressed, and when he mentions his two uncles, he grits his teeth with hatred.
"I already have a general idea of what happened. ”
Lu Chengfeng nodded and asked, "So, what are you going to do? Open a Hongmen banquet and take them both directly, or gather superior forces to launch a night attack and wipe out the opponent?"
"I've already made a plan, it's just ......" Brake Shadow seemed to be a little hesitant after all: "After all, the two of them are the old men of my family, and if they are too involved, it will easily lead to violent turmoil in our clan, and even attract other forces to interfere." If I could, I would still like to find a peaceful solution. ”
He didn't say a specific way, Lu Chengfeng guessed that it might be that Sha Ying still had a little fantasy about his two uncles.
What should be done, after all, it is someone's family internal affairs, and Lu Chengfeng can't say too much. He just did his best and kindly reminded: "It's best to settle it peacefully, but remember that when you are decided, you will continue to suffer from it." Chen Liu: They are still hiding outside Wushun City, and I didn't alarm anyone all the way over. So, by now, Sarri should not know about our power. If you delay it for too long, they will find out something, and you will miss the opportunity!"
"Don't worry, I know it. ”
A cold smile appeared on the corner of Brake Shadow's mouth, and he said coldly: "They had better be interesting, otherwise, they will hinder the development of my shadow family, even if it is my own generation, I will have to kill the killer." ”
Saying this, the killing intent in him was awe-inspiring. The breath that leaked inadvertently made Lu Chengfeng a little frightened. After saying goodbye last year, it hasn't been long now, and the strength of the brake shadow has actually improved even more than it was at the beginning. It is worthy of being a person who has a grandmaster as a master, how old is this, and he has already stepped into the middle of the eighth order. This cultivation speed is comparable to that of Lu Chengfeng before rebirth. It's no wonder that the elders of the Shadow Family would abandon Shari in favor of Shari. If it is replaced by Lu Chengfeng, he will definitely be the next generation of family heads with such a terrifying talent and a bright future!
"My talent is terrible?"
Hearing Lu Chengfeng use this word to evaluate himself, the shadow who was drinking tea almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of water. He coughed, glanced at Lu Chengfeng with a strange expression, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's really terrifying, I think it's you, right! When you were in the Shadow Labyrinth, it seemed that you were only at the sixth order when you fought with me, right? How long has it been, I have just entered the middle of the eighth order, and you have also stepped into the eighth order at a rapid speed." His grandmother's, I've never seen a genius who cultivates faster than you in my life!"
Since Lu Chengfeng met Sha Ying, this was the first time he had burst into foul language, and he was probably shocked and ruthless.
Indeed, if it is measured by the cultivation speed of a normal person, Lu Chengfeng's strength improvement is indeed terrifying. However, who called Lu Chengfeng a reborn. He has a great opportunity, and he has two sets of the strongest super exercises in the world, if this is not happy, then it is called wrong!" "What, everyone's fate is different, you can't help it even if you are envious." Lu Chengfeng comforted Sha Ying like this, and at the same time asked casually: "By the way, until now, I don't know who the foreign aid your family asks is." Near Wushun, there don't seem to be many forces that can distinguish themselves from your shadow family, right?"
