Chapter 427: Ma.s.s Chaos

Translator: chuchutrain Editor: DavidT, Rock

Right now, even without the presence of the Imperial Court, as well as the restriction of the imperial authority, Bright Jade City didn't fall into chaos like what everyone expected . Instead, the city officials all went about their duties like before, without the slightest disorder . As for the Yu Family, they were akin to a boulder that had been in place for the past ten thousand years, stable without moving . This made the various powers who came over to see a good show leave in disappointment .

The real chaos only started a few days ago, following successive events where the government building of Bright Jade City had mysteriously caught fire, with all the guards a.s.sa.s.sinated within! After that came a series of murders, and within a night, blood rained down, as at least five of the officials in the city were killed off one after another! This created a tempest within the city!

The five a.s.sa.s.sinated officials were in charge of the garrison, the prefectural magistrate, the justice ministry, and the military forces . All the important departments, smas.h.i.+ng the entire administrative system of Bright Jade City to pieces! Furthermore, those with a keen eye could tell that this series of murders wouldn't just end there!

Indeed!

In the next three days, there were reported a.s.sa.s.sinations of at least 30 or more officials, and the entire Bright Jade City sunk into ma.s.s chaos!

”First Pavilion! What a good First Pavilion! They really have no limits to their methods!” Yu ManLou's eyes flashed dangerously, as he ruthlessly slapped the cabinet beside him . Without any sound or notice, the entire cabinet crafted from hardwood dissolved into powder in an instant!

A black-robed man floated into the room like an apparition .

”Reporting to Family Head . This subordinate has received news that the young master of the Shui Family, Shui QianHuan, had infiltrated Bright Jade City four days prior, and we are not currently aware of his whereabouts . ”

”Shui Family? Shui QianHuan?!” Yu ManLou repeated in a slight daze, as he tightly furrowed his brows . ”Could it be that these matters were all done by the Shui Family, and not by Ling Tian?”

Yu ManLou's face sunk as he paced around the room . For the first time in his life, his face revealed uncertainty . ”Invite the Second and Third Master over, and pa.s.s down the order for the entire capital to search and capture Shui QianHuan! If any obstruct the search, kill without mercy!”

”Understood . ” The black-robed man only spoke this word before vanis.h.i.+ng into the darkness .

Yu ManLou lowly sighed, this was getting impossible to unravel!

First, the entire Northern Wei Imperial Family was annihilated, followed by the important guards being a.s.sa.s.sinated in batches in Bright Jade City . Yu ManLou had always been certain that this was the scheme of the Ling Family! It was likely that the filthy rich Ling Family had obtained the services of the First Pavilion, and the reason for it was, of course, revenge! This was still something that Yu ManLou could understand because if he was in that position this was something that he would also have done . However, to suddenly come out with this news made Yu ManLou suspect his own deductions!

If this matter was created by the Ling Family, then it wouldn't be difficult to solve . However, if this was the scheme of the Shui Family, then the problem would be far more complex . There were still two and a half years left to the Sixty Year battle, but the Shui Family had already infiltrated into Heavenly Star Continent on such a large scale, controlling Northern Wei to strike at the Sky Bearing Empire, and then now infiltrating into Bright Jade City . What were they up to?

There were still two and a half years left, could the Shui Family be in such a rush? Did they encounter some sort of problem?

Upon thinking of the last point, Yu ManLou could feel his own heart jump wildly! If this was the case, this would be a heaven-sent opportunity for him .

The thudding of heavy footsteps sounded, and a loud voice sounded, ”Elder brother, Bright Jade City is already in chaos . You had better summon the first and third elders back . To allow them to stay at our in-law's place to eat and drink for free, however you look at it, doesn't seem right . To think that those two d*mned old fogies still have the cheek to do so! If it was me, I wouldn't be able to wash my shame clean! After all, we're still considered a thousand-year aristocratic family!”

Third Master Yu had arrived!

”Who dares to say that they are loafing around in Sky Bearing?” Yu ManLou coldly snapped . ”I definitely want to remove them, but do my circ.u.mstances allow me to do so? Now the matter has escalated to a point where I can't remove them as and when I wish, now we're riding on the back of a tiger, it's already impossible to get off safely!”

”Would it be that those two old fogies dare to disobey your orders?” Yu ManTian jumped up in shock . ”I'll go straight to Sky Bearing and drag them back then, darn it, and that's going easy on them! The last time I got smashed over by a kid . Now that this old man is recovered, I'm gonna go look to settle my score!”

”Hmph! Settle your score? Based on what I discovered, the person who wounded you the other time was the Martial Order Medallion owner, Justice! That person's martial arts are unrivaled below the heavens, without equal . Your revenge will go unfulfilled in this lifetime! You better stop having thoughts about it as soon as you can!” Yu ManLou heavily snorted, throwing a report over . ”As for the matters at Sky Bearing, you had better look through this before we talk . ”
