Chapter 204 – Cutting Out The Heart And Liver (1/2)

Chapter 204 - Cutting Out The Heart And Liver (Unedited)

The previous Shangguan Xi Hong’s attitude towards Lei Yu was lukewarm at best. Once he found out that Lei Yu had an unsurpassed talent, only then did Shangguan Xi Hong try to find all means to bring him to his side. No one expected that after this incident, a noble leader of Martial Sect would actually say those words. At least the people currently behind Shangguan Xi Hong would absolutely not believe they had just heard those words.

“You’re too serious about this, please come in before we continue chatting.” Lei Yu made a hand gesture to invite them in.

Shangguan Xi Hong changed back to his domineering face and turned to the crowd behind him: “You guys wait outside!”

“Understood!” The group of people answered in unison.

After having Shangguan Xi Hong take a seat in the living room, Lei Yu deliberately took out his best tea to serve this VIP guest.

“My old subordinate confessed, and all of this was caused by the Ming Sect. It was all thanks to you!” Shangguan Xi Hong went straight to the point without any nonsense.

Lei Yu didn’t beat around the bush either and bluntly asked: “Then what are your plans?”

“I will show Du Chang Hai the methods of my Martial Sect!” Shangguan Xi Hong clenched his fists as he said this.

Lei Yu shook his head, “Chief Shangguan…”

Shangguan Xi Hong smiled and interrupted: “Don’t call me Chief; my title in front of you is not worth half a cent. You can directly call me by name or if you don’t mind, you can just call me Uncle.”

“Uh…” Lei Yu felt a bit reluctant but still said it. “Uncle Shangguan, are you saying you want to go to war with the Ming Sect?”

“The Ming Sect is originally a force of evil and should’ve been eradicated a long time ago. But because of maintaining the balance between the major forces of Tenglong country, this was never done. Now that they are acting so arrogantly, there’s no need for us to hold back!” Shangguan Xi Hong angrily said.

“The consequences of going to war with them can become disastrous though. The Ming Sect is rooted deeply in all areas. I’m afraid at that time; chaos will ensue in Tenglong country. The end result might cause an economic collapse and by then, even the safety of our citizens may be in jeopardy!” This was one of the reasons Lei Yu hadn’t rashly made a move against the Ming Sect yet.

“Then what do you suggest we do?” Shangguan Xi Hong asked.

Lei Yu smiled, “Why should we break the balance? You should know that it’s only Du Chang Hai, a single person that wanted to harm you and not everyone in the Ming Sect. The major forces are maintaining a balance without anyone being stronger or weaker. If Martial Sect musters up all their forces to destroy the Ming Sect, killing a thousand would result in eight hundred of our own losses. I’m afraid the day of Ming Sect’s demise would also mean the day that Martial Sect’s standing will fall. By that time, who knows who the fisherman would be to reap the rewards?”

“Either the Lei family or Celestial Court!” Shangguan Xi Hong replied without thought. In fact, how could a leader of a major force in Tenglong country not think of this? This happened because the poison incident happened too sudden, making him somewhat lose his cool-headedness. After hearing Lei Yu’s words did his mind suddenly become clear again.
