Chapter 611 Three Days And Nights (1/2)
Yu ManLou was in need of a victory! A speedy and absolute victory! Thus after Yu LiuQing died, Yu ManLou had no choice but to use his younger brother, Yu ManTang. Only Yu ManTang would be able to accomplish such a feat. After all, Yu ManLou needed to stay back in the headquarters of the Yu Family to maintain the morale of his family.
Yu ManLou was pretty confident that he could obtain a victory. He had already given the orders for all his troops to retreat back to Bright Jade City after exterminating the Wu Empire. At that time, Yu ManTang would be fully in charge of the battle with the Moon Deity Empire and Yu ManLou was also intentionally sending Yu ManTang out. As for the final battle with Ling Tian, Yu ManLou would not trust anyone else but himself! It would be the safest if he personally made a move!
Another reason was also because Yu ManLou received the news that the 3000 soldiers that Lei ZhenTian led to ambush the Ling Family Courtyard were completely wiped out without a single survivor!
After receiving this piece of news, Yu ManLou was completely dumbfounded! He had almost fallen from his chair as well!
Yu ManLou was extremely clear about the strength of the Lei Family's experts led by Lei ZhenTian. Especially the martial arts of the three deacons and Lei ZhenTian himself were something that even he needed to treat with respect. Furthermore, the Lei Family still had another six elders and dozens of other experts. Not a single one of them was a character that could be dealt with easily.
This strength was already the absolute peak which the Lei Family could muster. However, they were all wiped out in a single battle with the Ling Family Courtyard without a single person leaving alive! On top of that, Ling Tian was absent from the Courtyard during that period of time but such a baffling event had still occurred.
Yu ManLou knew that if his Yu Family were to face the elites of Lei ZhenTian, while he would be able to achieve victory in the end, the price which he would have to pay would be extremely heavy and his victory would be a Pyrrhic one. It would be impossible for him to wipe out all of the Lei Family elites without leaving a single person alive!
However, the Ling Family Courtyard was actually able to achieve such a feat! Just what kind of strength was Ling Tian hiding? How many more trump cards did Ling Tian still have hidden?
Hearing this piece of news, even someone with Yu ManLou's composure could not help but be startled. Furthermore, he could not deny that he was feeling a tinge of fear! Such a feeling was something that Yu ManLou had never felt before in his life!
Thus, Yu ManLou resolutely decided to make good use of XiMen Sa and Yu ManTang. At this time, he needed to gather all of the strength that he could. Regardless of what kind of ambitions XiMen Sa had, at the very least, XiMen Sa had value to Yu ManLou presently.
As for the future... who would be able to foretell the future?
After settling this matter, Yu ManLou sent out another order: All the commoners were to be conscripted! Regardless of whether or not they belonged to Northern Wei or Western Han, as long as they were part of the Yu Family's territory, all the healthy young men were to join the army and be trained properly.
These soldiers would become the backup force for the Yu Family in the future.
When facing Ling Tian, Yu ManLou would never dream of defeating him in a single battle. This would definitely be a long battle! Thus, it was necessary to ensure that he had a constant supply of soldiers.
The thing which angered Yu ManLou the most was his third brother Yu ManTian. When that b*stard was feeling bored, he actually had the cheek to find Yu ManLou and say that since he had nothing better to do, he wanted to go to Sky Bearing to have some fun...
Yu ManLou flew into a rage on the spot! He ferociously beat up the boorish Yu ManTian before locking him up! Go to Sky Bearing? Do you think that I don't know why you want to go to Sky Bearing? You have obviously taken a liking to that brat Ling Tian and want to go and play with him. But do you think that the present circ.u.mstances would permit you to enter Sky Bearing?
Besides that, who was Ling Tian? He was the biggest enemy of our Yu Family! As the Third Master of the Yu Family, you actually want to go to Sky Bearing? Are you going to find him for fun or for your death?!
Besides that, for the Lei Family to launch an ambush at Sky Bearing, any wise individual would be able to deduce that our Yu Family had a hand behind the matter. It would be great if Ling Tian doesn't seek trouble with us but you actually want to go and find him at his doorstep? What am I going to do if war breaks out with Ling Tian when you are in Sky Bearing?
Yu ManLou was angered by his third brother to the point he lost his appet.i.te.
In the secret chamber.
