Chapter 255: Cloud Piercing Arrow
Ding'an City, Wuli Wharf.
Bu Minghai, the patriarch of the Bu family, led a group of elite subordinates and stood on the dock waiting anxiously.
The two largest forces in Ding'an City were the Bu family and the Lu family. The two families were harmonious on the surface, but secretly they were fighting openly and secretly.
Now, under the planning of the Xiang family and the third prince, the Lu family is about to be destroyed, but the Bu family is about to soar to the sky and will soon leave this old rival who has been competing for many years far behind. Bu Minghai should have been proud of himself, but a sudden incident recently made him worried.
Bu Minghai kept pacing around the edge of the dock with his hands behind his back, showing that he was quite anxious.
It was not until a gorgeous building ship appeared at the end of the river that Bu Minghai finally put down his worries and showed a faint smile on his face.
On the flag of the building ship, the word "Xiang" was written.
The ship slowly approached the shore.
A noble young man in purple clothes walked down the ship, followed by several swordsmen with sparkling eyes.
"Mr. Xiang, you are finally here!" Bu Minghai greeted him with a smile on his face.
This noble young man was Xiang Sheng, the second son of the county governor's mansion. If Xiang Chen had not died at the hands of Lu Yu, according to the original plan, Xiang Sheng should have been his son-in-law's younger brother. He should have called him uncle when they met. Unfortunately, fate played tricks on people. Xiang Chen lost his life in Tianjue Mountain, and the marriage was ruined. Naturally, he could not get this relationship.
Xiang Sheng nodded slightly and greeted calmly: "Chief Bu, thank you for waiting for a long time!"
Bu Minghai was slightly startled. He didn't expect that after not seeing him for a while, Xiang Sheng's temperament was actually much calmer and his cultivation was obviously improved.
In the past, people only knew that Xiang Chen, the eldest son of the Xiang family, was excellent, but ignored the existence of Xiang Sheng. Now without the protection of his brother, Xiang Sheng has grown up rapidly and become an equally dazzling new star. This shows that he is also a rough diamond, but he was previously overshadowed by his brother's brilliance.
If possible, it would be a good choice to develop Xiang Sheng into the son-in-law of the Bu family. Unfortunately, after Xiang Chen's death, his daughter Bu Yi became autistic and traveled alone. Now even he can't find his daughter's whereabouts, so this matter can only be thought about...
"What is the situation? Why did the alliance of thirteen families take so long to deal with a small Lu family? The third prince is very unhappy about this matter!"
Xiang Sheng's words brought Bu Minghai's thoughts back to reality.
He quickly explained: "In fact, all the businesses outside the Lu family have been cleared out by the thirteen alliance families. Only the main house of the Lu family has not been conquered. There are two main reasons why it has not been taken for so long..."
"The first is that since the Lu family started doing business with the Wanhe Chamber of Commerce, they have purchased a large number of weapons. They have many sophisticated weapons, protective gear, and even some special talismans, which greatly enhances the strength of the Lu family. It is not a simple matter to completely wipe them out in one fell swoop..."
"The second one..."
As Bu Minghai said, his eyes became complicated, which was the source of his inner uneasiness.
"Yesterday morning, the Thirteen Alliance had planned to launch a final attack on the Lu family, but at this moment, a message suddenly came from the sky. A cloud-piercing arrow from the Dali Sword Sect exploded above the Lu family's main residence. The light was so bright that it did not retreat. The Thirteen Alliance was therefore cautious and did not continue the attack..."
"The cloud-piercing arrow from the Dali Sword Sect?"
Xiang Sheng frowned: "How could the Dali Sword Sect care about this small Lu family? Could it be that the Lu family is deliberately making a mystery?"
Bu Minghai shook his head: "The arrow did fly from the outside world, and after the arrow was activated, the light clearly had the words of the Dali Sword Sect and the exclusive mark. This cannot be faked."
Xiang Sheng frowned even more tightly, thinking silently, without saying a word.
Bu Minghai hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Mr. Xiang, is the news that the damn Lu Yu was expelled from the Dali Sword Sect accurate? Will there be any changes in the meantime?"
Xiang Sheng glanced at him and snorted softly: "You may not believe what I say, so let Mr. Gu answer this question for you! He is the chief swordsman in the Third Prince's mansion and can speak for the Third Prince to a certain extent!"
Bu Minghai then noticed that there was a swordsman with a powerful aura hidden behind Xiang Sheng. Unlike other swordsmen with shining eyes, Mr. Gu was obviously very restrained. At first glance, he did not seem to be surprising, but if you pay close attention, you will find that he is unfathomable.
"You are Mr. Gu Si'an, who swept through 81 palace masters without losing a single battle at the Imperial Martial Arts Conference and was named the best swordsman of the Great Wu Dynasty by His Majesty?"
Bu Minghai said in great surprise. He had never thought that such a person would come to Ding'an City. It can be seen that His Royal Highness the Third Prince attaches great importance to this matter.
Mr. Gu returned the greeting and said calmly, "You are too polite, Patriarch Bu. I am just a name in name only, and I am very afraid!"
"But Patriarch Bu can rest assured about Lu Yu's fate in Dali Sword Sect. This man was arrogant and domineering in Dali Sword Sect, and he has completely lost his power. Not only was his cultivation abolished and he was expelled from the sect, but he was also imprisoned in the dark prison of Dali Sword Sect and will never see the light of day again..."
"At this time, the Piercing Cloud Token Arrow was sent. I think it should be his fellow disciples in Yudie Peak. Thinking of his incense, they just want to protect his family. With the Third Prince here, this matter is not a concern at all. You can boldly attack the Lu family. If there are any problems, the Third Prince will naturally come forward to block them for you! "
"Back in Tianjue Mountain, Master Xiang Chen died tragically at the hands of Lu Yu. This matter must be repaid with blood! It's just that it's unlikely to attack the thief directly, so his family has to pay it back! The Third Prince means that the people of the Lu family must be captured alive in front of Master Xiang Chen's tomb, and their heads must be displayed to the public to inform the dead, so that the resentment of Master Xiang Chen's death can be relieved... Gu is here today just to ensure that this matter is foolproof!"
Bu Minghai was stunned.
This Gu Sian is worthy of being a master who swept Kyoto. His words naturally revealed a huge confidence, which unconsciously made Bu Minghai confident and calmed down.
"In this way, I am relieved..." Bu Minghai said sincerely.
Xiang Sheng snorted heavily, "Even if someone from the Dali Sword Sect tried to stop us, so what? My brother died tragically at the hands of that villain. This happened in public and everyone knows about it. Not only did the Dali Sword Sect protect the criminal, but they also wanted to stop us from seeking justice ourselves?"
After a pause, he continued, "In the final analysis, it's because you guys are too bullying. You rush in when you see benefits, and you are afraid of death when you encounter difficulties. You find all kinds of reasons to shirk responsibility... If you don't have any responsibility and can't accomplish anything, what's the point of the Third Prince having supporters like you?"
Bu Minghai didn't dare to respond to this. He watched his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and listened to the lecture honestly.
"Clan leader Bu, go and call all the representatives of the Thirteen Alliance immediately. I want to give them a good beating! Since you have received benefits from the Third Prince, you must do your best to serve the Third Prince! Otherwise, do they think that the Third Prince can get the benefits for free?" Xiang Sheng said again.
"Yes..."
Bu Minghai received the order and was about to leave.
But at this moment, there was a commotion on the dock.
Bu Minghai looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dark three-masted ship appeared at the end of the river, like a ferocious beast, riding the wind and waves and rushing towards the dock.
Bu Minghai was shocked. Isn't this the Black Dragon of Yushan Mine?
