Chapter 43
The truth is revealed: Lei Family Fort is a trap!
"The Tang Clan?!"
Lei Wujie's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Brother-in-law, are you mistaken? The Tang Clan is an ally of our Lei Clan! For hundreds of years, although the Lei Clan and the Tang Clan have been rivals, they have generally remained closely connected. Old Master Tang is a towering figure in the martial arts world, how could he..."
"ally?"
Su Changqing scoffed, his eyes full of mockery. "What eternal allies are there in this world? Only eternal interests."
"Although the Tang Clan is known as the best in hidden weapons, it has been declining in recent years, while your Lei Clan is thriving, especially with the increasing power of gunpowder, which has long threatened the Tang Clan's position. That old man, Old Master Tang, has been getting restless for a long time."
"Moreover, he also desires immortality and wants to restore the Tang Clan to its former glory. To this end, he is willing to collude with the Dark River and sell his soul."
Su Changqing's words struck Lei Wujie's heart like a heavy hammer.
He may be simple-minded, but he's not stupid.
Over the years, he had heard some of the Tang Clan's petty tricks, but he never expected that they would actually dare to collude with external enemies and attack the Lei Clan!
"Then...then the Lei Family Fort Heroes' Banquet this time..."
Lei Wujie's voice trembled slightly.
"That's right."
Su Changqing nodded, his gaze deep. "This was a complete trap."
"They not only intend to publicly humiliate the Rai Sect at that banquet, but also to wipe out all of Rai Sect's experts! Even your sister is one of their targets!"
"Old Master Tang and Su Changhe, the head of the Dark River Clan, had already reached an agreement: the Dark River Clan would be responsible for intercepting and killing the experts who came to provide support (such as Li Hanyi), while the Tang Clan would be responsible for using poison and hidden weapons to launch surprise attacks at the banquet."
"If they succeed, Lei Family Fortress will cease to exist, and the Tang Clan will rise to become the new overlord of the martial world, stepping over the corpses of the Lei Clan!"
"Bastards! These bastards!"
Lei Wujie trembled with rage, slamming his fist into the ground, creating a crater. "I'm going back! I'm going back to tell Senior Brother Qianhu and Uncle Lei Yunhe! We can't let them succeed!"
Li Hanyi's face was also frosty, and the sword intent in her hand flickered uncertainly.
"Old Master Tang... I've always respected him as a senior, I never imagined he could be so despicable!"
"Since he wants to destroy my Lei Clan, then don't blame me for showing no mercy! I'm definitely attending the Lei Family Fortress Heroes' Banquet!"
Although she changed her surname to Li, the blood of the Lei family still flows in her veins.
When Lei Men is in trouble, she, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, will never stand idly by!
"Don't rush."
Su Changqing restrained the enraged siblings, a meaningful smile appearing on his face. "Since they've meticulously prepared this performance, how can we not go and support them?"
"Besides, it's not very interesting to just go and show your support."
"If we're going, we have to go in a spectacular way, a way they'll never forget!"
"Perfect timing. Nuonuo has never been far from home in her life, nor has she seen anything grand. This trip to Lei Family Fort will be a family vacation."
"travel?"
Xiao Se raised an eyebrow, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his perpetually half-asleep eyes. "Does the master mean... we should flip the table?"
"Flip the table?"
Su Changqing's lips curled into a wicked smile, a smile that exuded an unbridled arrogance and domineering presence.
"Not only should we overturn the table, we should smash the person who set this up, along with their table!"
"I'll show the Tang Clan and the Dark River what it means to invite a god in, but send him away in the dark!"
"I'll show the world what happens when you anger Su Changqing!"
