Chapter 641 Rational Conjecture (2/2)

”How could we let them off so easily? If Yu ManLou does not give me a satisfactory answer, how could this old man rest?! No matter how strong his Yu Family is, he belongs to the Heavenly Star continent and should have no part to play in the politics of the Heavenly Wind continent! The Sky Alliance might be a ferocious dragon that has crossed the seas, but how could it beat the three of us local tyrant snakes joining hands?!” HuangFu YanHan grit his teeth as he viciously spoke, his eyes s.h.i.+ning with a frosty light!

”That's right! This should be the case! We are going to see just how unbridled the Yu Family can be!” The chorus of everyone present was filled with battle intent!

”Come early tomorrow morning, this old man will personally go and visit the head of the Shui Family, Shui ManKong. Grand Elder, please go and look for Song TianQiao right now, and negotiate a countermeasure with them. Remember to exercise restraint! Of course, Song TianQiao is someone who is steady and solid, and what I have concluded should not be something that eludes his grasp. To make the two of our families fight with each other just like that, their thinking is too simple!” HuangFu YanHan spoke in a confident tone. ”If the Yu Family was being discreet, then we couldn't have done anything either, but now that they dare to do it so openly, then don't blame us for being impolite! Our century-long foundation for the HuangFu aristocratic family can't be uprooted just because Yu ManLou says he wants to do so! What a nice fantasy he has! Could it be that Yu ManLou thinks he's the only genius in this world?!”

At this moment, Yu ManLou was far away on the ocean looking at the scenery. He never would have thought that before he even managed to reach the Heavenly Wind continent he had already been burdened with the black label of a villain by someone else! If he were to find out right now, he would likely vomit blood in anger!

The development of this matter was indeed too bizarre! Even if it was Ling Tian who had orchestrated this incident, he would never have thought this sort of strange scenario would occur. One had to mention that HuangFu YanHan's imagination was indeed bold and imaginative, to the point that no one could follow his thoughts, but he still could somehow frame this hypothesis in such a reasonable manner!

What sort of matter was going on?!!

However, if one were to pin the blame on Yu ManLou, it could still be considered plausible at this exact point in time! After all, the timing of this kidnapping was just too coincidental. Even if one were just to look at it from the surface, the greatest beneficiary of this would be the Sky Alliance, followed by the Yu Family. As such, thinking that the mastermind was Yu ManLou was actually something unavoidable! After all, the greatest winner of this sort of thing was usually the one orchestrating it!

If Ling Tian were to hear of all these conjectures, he would also be dumbfounded. When he first thought of this plan, he only had the intention to stir up and muddy the waters. Not only would he throw the two families into chaos, forcing the Shui Family to step in, he would also allow Shui QianRou to benefit much more from this. Secondly, he would also reduce the influence behind the other faction in the Shui Family, and lastly, Ling Tian would use this opportunity to gain a chance to enter Mount Vacant to seek for treasure!

This could be summed up into a single saying: When one has the intention to grow flowers, the plants do not bloom, but when one inadvertently plants a willow, it grows into a mighty tree to provide shade!

HuangFu YanHan's guesses were actually not wrong for some parts. The head of the Song Family actually did receive a mysterious package, a tiny box. And as for the Song Family, they were actually behaving in the same manner as what HuangFu YanHan thought, running around in chaos. All of them racked their brains for the answer, and the family Head Song TianQiao flew into a rage totally unbefitting of the steady image that HuangFu YanHan had praised him for.

Song TianQiao's wife, which was the birth mother of Song Kuang and Song Ao, after realizing that the life and death of her two sons were unknown along with the lack of attention from her husband for the past few years, had her heart immediately refueled with hatred. She put out a huge scene fully displaying the ability of a woman. She cried, bl.u.s.tered, and threatened to kill herself, torturing Song TianQiao to the point his seven orifices were literally emitting smoke.

While the group discussed for a long time, they could not come to any conclusion. When they were at their wit's end, someone brought the message that the HuangFu Family's Grand Elder was here for a visit. While Song TianQiao was extremely impatient in his heart, he endured the burning desire and invited the guest in.

”Yu ManLou! I f**k your grandmother!” After hearing the summary from Grand Elder HuangFu, Song TianQiao was struck with a revelation. He stamped his feet on the ground, loudly cursing and swearing until his face was red, apoplectic with rage. Compared to how HuangFu YanHan had described him to be, Song TianQiao seemed to be poles apart in real life. With his sons and concubine missing, he was already suffering from a surplus of anxiety. Having to deal with the incessant grumbling from his wife without being able to vent his frustrations, he could only endure blindly. He was almost driven mad by this fiasco.

Originally, he would put on airs whenever the HuangFu Family sent someone over, but right now, they could be considered his savior, giving him a solution out of his dilemma. Upon hearing that this entire matter was actually orchestrated by Yu ManLou, Song TianQiao could not help but seethe in rage. If Yu ManLou was present in the city right now in front of him, Song TianQiao would not hesitate to spit at him!

The two men hurriedly discussed for a while, firming up a countermeasure before the HuangFu Grand Elder took his leave. Song TianQiao rearranged his bearings, before bringing a group of experts and headed towards the Shui Family with a majestic entourage of experts.

In the blink of an eye, three days had already pa.s.sed.

In these three days, Ling Tian had worked in the night while resting during the day, recording every single nook and cranny of Mount Vacant Sky by going round and round the area. He had scoured every area that was in accordance with his plan, which was an extremely tedious matter. Just the three peaks of Mount Vacant Sky lay among hundreds of feet of undulating ranges, and just scouting out the Eastern peak already made him perspire profusely. This had nothing to do with one's internal cultivation, but rather it was a matter of labor. Such a scouting job like this was purely reliant on one's body rather than energy.

Lush forests, rugged outcroppings, steep precipice, flowing valleys... Ling Tian had expended a Herculean effort in the search for this treasure and yet came out with nothing to show for it. That saying of ”East of Vacant Sky” had tired him so much he was cramping everywhere.

The early rays of dawn rose again, and Ling Tian could only helplessly stare at the Eastern peak of Mount Vacant Sky, viciously spitting on the ground in disgust before turning around to leave.

Ling Jian, who had accompanied him for three straight nights on this fruitless search, was also drawn to the limits of his patience even though he was well known for his tempered patience. He requested permission from the Young n.o.ble to survey the task that Ling Nineteen and the rest were doing and immediately took his leave, not willing to accompany his young n.o.ble to go on this insane search.

Today was also the day that Yu ManLou's s.h.i.+ps would arrive. Ling Tian decided to let this matter drop for the moment. After the Yu Family arrived, in order to prevent them from playing any dirty tricks, the defense around the central peak of Mount Vacant Sky would also become even more guarded. This would be beneficial for Ling Tian to travel to and from the Eastern Peak.

As such, Ling Tian was now extremely eager for Yu ManLou to reach the area. He was completely unaware that awaiting Yu ManLou would be a heaven-borne disaster, and this entire matter was actually orchestrated by him, as well as totally unintentionally created against Yu ManLou...

****** ****** ******

Yu ManLou finally arrived.

The Yu Family delegate could be said to have arrived with the same timing as the people from Beyond Heavens. Separated by just a distance of ten feet or so was the small boat that held four people from the Beyond Heavens Sect. While the boat that they took was not considered tiny by any standards, with cabins and a helm, it was incomparably tiny when compared to the hegemon of a boat that the Yu Family wielded.

When Yu ManLou arrived, he never would have thought in his dreams, no, everybody included would never have thought in their dreams that the Yu Family's arrival at the Heavenly Wind continent would cause such a stir!

The sun rose high into the sky, letting out unlimited rays of light which shone on all objects over the world. Only that the suns.h.i.+ne at this period was considered the most harmonious!

Yu ManLou stood with his back facing the rising sun, standing with his hands behind his back at the helm of the s.h.i.+p. The salty and humid air of the ocean seemed to give him a feeling of meeting with a long lost friend! His entire bearing started to emit a congealed area, giving people who saw him a sense of respect. If Ling Tian were present, he would have noticed that the frosty air that was present in Yu ManLou's body had already completely vanished, melding together to become part of his body! Right now, Yu ManLou's skill could no longer be compared to when he was in Northern Wei. He naturally had undergone a tremendous breakthrough!

The Soul brothers stood directly behind him, not even an inch away from their designated positions, standing stock still like two honored statues.

It's been a long time, Heavenly Wind continent!
