Chapter 474: The Oriole Behind

”They are actually from Above Heavens,” Yu ManLou suddenly said with a chilly tone . ”The person in the lead is obviously one of the five great experts from back then, Meng WuQing . The one slightly weaker should probably be Meng WuYi who never leaves Meng WuQing's side . A thousand-year-old sect is different indeed! Even if they have declined, the combat prowess of these few individuals can't be underestimated . ”

”Family Head, if this battle continues, while we will be able to wipe out our enemies completely, we will have to pay an immense price to do so . Should this subordinate take action immediately to quickly end this battle?”

”Quickly end this battle?” Yu ManLou seemed to have heard a joke and a smile could be seen on his face . However, this smile of his was filled with coldness, ”Meng WuQing and the two by his side obviously have some strength left . If all of you take action right now, the three of them would definitely fight back at full force . It is best for us to exhaust them further first . ” Yu ManLou then paused for a moment before continuing, ”The thing I am puzzled about is why these Above Heavens experts would appear in the courtyard of my third son! Who can give me an explanation?!”

While the tone Yu ManLou used was extremely soft and light-hearted, the two individuals by the side immediately realized something and lowered their heads without saying a word .

Yu ManLou sneered, ”It seems that my children have truly given me a huge surprise . ”

Unable to bear the tense atmosphere, a black-robed expert stammered, ”Perhaps… third young n.o.ble didn't know their ident.i.ties…”

”Hahaha, letting them stay at his courtyard meant for hiding his love affairs without knowing their ident.i.ties?” Yu ManLou chuckled, ”Big Hei, can you even convince yourself to believe that?”

The two of them couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat . While Yu ManLou had an amiable smile on his face right now, these two individuals who had followed Yu ManLou for a long time could naturally sense the uncontrollable anger in Yu ManLou's heart .

Another two miserable groans could be heard from below and two Yu Family experts died in the battlefield with their corpses trampled and mutilated in just a short moment . After being sent flying by one of the reinforcements of the Yu Family, both of their corpses were at the very least 'intact' .

”Such a huge disturbance tonight was truly out of this old man's expectations,” Yu ManLou said with a chilly voice as though he couldn't be bothered about the deaths of his subordinates . ”That second son of mine is probably behind this matter right? They are truly 'close brothers'!”

The two black-robed men s.h.i.+vered as their backs turned cold, and a cold sweat had already drenched their clothes .

”Furthermore, the Head Deacon should be aware of this matter as well, right?” Yu ManLou watched the skinny figure engaging in a b.l.o.o.d.y battle and said calmly, ”Perhaps he may even be the mastermind of this incident . However, this old man who is their father was actually the last to find out! If not for that little brat Ling Tian playing his little tricks, this old man wouldn't be here to personally witness such an exciting show! If that's the case, I would even have to thank Ling Tian!” These final words of his were said with a chilly tone as a dense killing intent shot out from his eyes!

Both the black-robed man couldn't help but turn to face each other . After serving Yu ManLou together for so many years, both of them had already achieved great chemistry and couldn't help but wonder why their Family Head talked about Ling Tian at such a moment . Could it be that their Family Head was angered by his sons' degeneracy to the point his thoughts weren't clear? This Ling Tian was truly a capable individual . Regardless of the matter, as long as they decided to investigate it thoroughly, Ling Tian's figure would definitely appear in the matter . This was truly the mark of an extremely capable individual! Both the black-robed men couldn't help but muse to themselves .

Yu ManLou was suddenly startled as his own words reminded him about something . Ling Tian! Could this be a part of Ling Tian's schemes? The motive of this scheme was obvious, to drive both the Yu and Xiao families to opposing ends and form an irreconcilable enmity between our families so that he can fish for benefits from the side . If not, my second son certainly wouldn't be able to come up with such a detailed plan!

All of a sudden, Yu ManLou was shocked by his own thoughts . Could it be that of both my sons, one of them colluded with Above Heavens and the other one is colluding with Ling Tian?

If someone were to say that there wasn't an inside story to this affair, Yu ManLou would be the first to disagree with that! Everything definitely has a cause and effect . This incident couldn't have happened without any rhyme or reason . If not, how could it be that they coexisted in harmony for such a long time but broke out in conflict the moment Ling Tian arrived?

However, if Ling Tian was truly the person behind this affair, he would definitely have another trick up his sleeves! Thinking about this, Yu ManLou felt a heavy feeling in his heart before feeling elated . With the bulk of the Yu Family's elites being present, as long as Ling Tian appeared now or something odd occurred, he would be able to deal Ling Tian a heavy blow or even get rid of this huge trouble by his side!

Yu ManLou's narrowed his eyes as his gaze swept pa.s.sed the battlefield slowly and watched for any oddities in the surroundings .

Ling Tian should probably be watching all of this by the side, right? Yu ManLou's lips curled up in a trace of mockery . Want to watch a show involving my Yu Family? If that's the case, you will probably have to come out and put on a show as well!

Two robust figures dashed over from afar at a lightning fast speed . The moment they landed on the ground, they immediately joined in the battle and the situation in the battle changed again . While every one of the remaining Above Heavens experts was a top-notch expert, the gathering experts of the Yu Family weren't much weaker . In fact, they were stronger than the Above Heavens experts in almost all ways . Furthermore, the final few experts who joined in the fray were the Pavilion Heads of the Yu Family . Their strength was no weaker than Meng WuQing and Meng WuYi, and the Above Heavens experts felt an immense increase in pressure . Even the most powerful Meng WuQing and Meng WuYi had no choice but to unleash their full strength to defend against the incoming attackers . As for the weaker experts of Above Heavens, they were in an even more miserable state .

In just a short while later, another two Above Heavens experts died under the weapons of the Yu Family and a hole was formed in the defensive circle of the Above Heavens experts . If Meng WuQing and Meng WuYi still did not go all out at this moment, they would no longer have the chance to do so . The both of them let out a loud roar and spread out to the left and right . Two brilliant rays of sword light shot out of the encirclement and blood sprayed out in all directions, raining down on all the experts present . The Head Deacon was originally at the frontline of the battle but after these two brilliant sword rays shot out, he made a swift retreat and felt a tinge of chill at the top of his head before feeling a sharp pain . A layer of his scalp was actually shaved off .

”Retreat!” Meng WuQing shouted and blocked all the Yu Family experts together with Meng WuYi . An empty s.p.a.ce was immediately formed in the encirclement and the remaining two experts of Above Heavens, Meng JueChen and Meng WuHui, made use of that opportunity to jump up to the roof . The both of them knew that Meng WuQing and Meng WuYi would never retreat before them and they would only be a burden by staying behind .

The experts of Above Heavens were truly united . Despite being in such a precarious situation, not a single one of them retreated out of cowardice!

Meng WuHui was originally the same level expert as Meng WuQing . However, he suffered inner injuries from the battle with Justice and had not recovered fully yet, thus becoming a burden in this battle . He already felt extremely guilty in his heart and now that he had the chance, he quickly made a retreat lest he becomes a burden . He had already made a decision in his heart that if he couldn't make use of this opportunity to escape, then he would rather sacrifice his life to give his brothers a chance to escape . He would never remain beside them and become a burden .

The figures watching by the side flew to the skies and blocked Meng JueCheng and Meng WuHui together . Below, Meng WuQing and Meng WuYi let out a roar and shot their swords towards the sky to obstruct the two Pavilion Heads who wanted to block Meng JueChen and Meng WuHui .

The Head Deacon let out a sharp scream and with both anger and humiliation, his sword shot towards Meng WuYi . On the ground, almost all of the Yu Family experts who could react in time shot towards the air and gave chase .

”Big Hei, should I capture them, let them off, or kill them all?” Yu ManLou watched the four escaping Above Heavens experts heartlessly and asked .

”Err… this subordinate does not know . ” Big Hei bowed down and broke out in a cold sweat .

It was obvious that this matter involved Yu ManLou's two sons . How would he dare to express his opinion?

Yu ManLou shut his eyes with fatigue and said with a tinge of weariness, ”Let it be then . If they are lucky, let them off . If they aren't so lucky, kill them all . Even if they can be captured alive, don't give them a chance to say anything . ”

”Yes, the Family Head is wise . ” Big Hei acknowledged Yu ManLou's words and sighed in his heart . Yu ManLou naturally has his reasons for letting them go . While Big Hei did not know what the reason was, he was certain that Yu ManLou had his own reasons . As for killing them, it was naturally so that he wouldn't hear anything he didn't want to .

Just why were these Above Heavens experts in third young n.o.ble's courtyard? What was their relations.h.i.+p with third young n.o.ble? Why would second young n.o.ble and the Head Deacon plan this operation? How much was hidden within this affair? The two of them did not dare to ask these questions and were not willing to find out the answers to them as well . They just did not dare to know the answer to those questions!

While Yu ManLou was definitely able to deduce all of these matters, he did not want to think about them right now . He had just lost his most outstanding son and even if his other two sons were degenerates, they were still his own flesh and blood . It was impossible for him to punish both of his sons at such a moment regardless of the mistakes they made!

But if he were to catch the Above Heavens experts alive, he wouldn't have a choice but to face all of these fairly . By letting them off, he would still be able to make use of them but he could never catch them alive!

These Above Heavens experts had already killed so many of their Yu Family's experts and a few of their brothers had died in the hands of their Yu Family experts as well . The enmity between them was already irreconcilable, but their Family Head still chose to let them escape if their luck was good . Just what did this mean? Could it be that their Yu Family brothers died for nothing?

Right at this moment, Meng WuHui, who had landed on the roof, noticed the precarious situation of his brothers . A resolute gaze shot out from his eyes and he shot back towards the ground . He was immediately stabbed by the two Pavilion Heads of the Yu Family but it seemed as though he did not notice a thing and he dashed past the sides of his brothers . After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the splendor of his sword light exploded forth and blocked all of the incoming Yu Family experts charging towards him . He had actually single-handedly blocked a few experts who were not weaker than himself!

He then shouted in a hoa.r.s.e but resolute voice, ”If you don't want me to sacrifice my life for nothing, leave now!” After that, he was swallowed by the numerous weapons .

Meng WuQing and Meng WuYi let out an indignant roar but did not hesitate in the slightest . Without even looking back, they shot up towards the roof and after meeting up with Meng JueChen, they immediately fled for their lives . They knew that their brother had just used a forbidden technique which burned up his life essence to create an opportunity for the two of them to escape . No matter what, Meng WuHui's death was certain and there was nothing they could do to reverse the situation!

In the surroundings, arrows shot over from the surroundings and the sounds of metal clas.h.i.+ng rang out incessantly . Then, a low grunt could be heard, and Meng WuYi suffered an arrow to his left shoulder, causing him to almost fall off from the roof . Meng WuQing hurriedly brandished his sword to deflect all the incoming arrows and charged out with Meng WuYi .

Right at this moment, a swoos.h.i.+ng sound could be heard and a few Pavilion Head level experts rushed over . Meng WuQing and Meng WuYi looked at each other and saw the grief in each other's eyes . Their third brother had stayed behind to block these experts and now that these experts were chasing after them safe and sound, it could only mean one thing: their third brother had already perished! While they knew that their third brother had used a forbidden technique and his death was certain, affirming the matter was a completely different matter .

There was an obstruction in the front and enemies chasing after them from the back . Furthermore, arrows were raining down upon them like a thunderstorm and they were currently in the territory of their enemy . Of the three of them left, there were already two of them who were injured and there were no less than seven to eight top-notch experts eyeing on them by the side . All of a sudden, the three of them couldn't help but be overwhelmed by a wave of hopelessness .
