Chapter 206 – Another Path (2/2)
“I still feel this is a bit too hasty. Killing Du Chang Hai openly in front of the public… aren’t you afraid of the chaos that will ensue afterwards? I’m afraid by then, things will truly get out of hand!”
Lei Yu smiled and shook his head, “If we rallied our forces and made an all out attack on the Ming Sect, this will result in losses on both sides. But if we only killed Du Chang Hai, only internal chaos will appear in the Ming Sect as people start fighting for the position of the Sect Leader. The strongest person we feared no longer exists, so how rampant can Fifth Devilish Realm cultivators act in front of us?” Lei Yu then remembered something and said: “During the time when you were injured, there were very few people talking about taking revenge for you. There was even someone thinking of taking over your position. This was something I saw with my own eyes so you don’t have to doubt my words. If Martial Sect was like this, then we don’t even have to mention what will happen to the Ming Sect.”
“Who? Who was this person thirsting for my position?” Shangguan Xi Hong asked with anger in his eyes.
Lei Yu shook his head, “There’s no point in saying the name since he has the desires but doesn’t have the power. Aren’t you perfectly healthy right now? It’s best not to create any chaos amongst our ranks during a critical time like now.”
After listening to Lei Yu’s words, Shangguan Xi Hong felt it made sense and didn’t need to pierce this window made of paper¹. In his heart, he was already going through a list of several people he suspected.
“Then I will represent Martial Sect on your behalf and announce this message. We’ll see what reactions the other two major forces will have.”
“This is the only way. Since Du Chang Hai wanted to act like a turtle, this is the only trick we can use to force him out!”

Inside a bamboo house located in a secluded area that was similar to paradise on earth. “Court Leader, it looks like they’re going to perform a dogfight show for us to watch again!” The Elder of Celestial Court, Qing Feng, looked very excited. It seemed like he was extremely happy to see something like this happen.
A middle-aged man that looked slightly younger than Qing Feng then said: “Could it be that you don’t see the hidden meaning behind this?”
Qing Feng shook his head in confusion. The middle-aged man then said: “It’s obvious the Ming Sect made a move, and he didn’t just target Shangguan Xi Hong alone. Everyone knows about Du Chang Hai’s wild ambitions so I wonder what his response will be…” He’s not an easy pushover right? This whole thing started when he acted against Martial Sect. What if it started with our Celestial Court or the Lei family? Would there be another outcome different from now?”
Qing Feng looked surprised, “It shouldn’t happen right? Du Chang Hai would not dare…”
“Hard to say, very hard to say!”
“So what position should we take on this?” Qing Feng asked.
The middle-aged man smiled, “There’s no rush, let’s see what reactions the Lei family will have first before we continue.”
-------------------
It was extremely lively in the Lei family household. The Elder was quite long-winded next to Lei Yun Tian’s ears: “Master, you didn’t make a decision that day. If we had punished Kei Yu, something like this wouldn’t have happened now! It’s obvious Lei Yu wants to break up the balance between our four major forces!”
“Oh? Is that what you think?” Lei Yun Tian clearly didn’t agree with the Elder’s view.
