Chapter 667
In the meeting with Lu Chengfeng and others, the only thing Wu Qi discussed was how to retaliate against Yu Miao .
Yu Miao had tried to kill Wu Qi several times, including the palm strike that almost killed him when he had just arrived in Pangu Continent . Many of such attacks had driven him to the brink of death . This time, while he was 'seriously wounded', Yu Miao struck once again by sending assassins to kill him .
The public news was that Wu Qi was 'seriously wounded', and everyone knew that Dong Hai County had been given to him by Yu He, a reward for helping him seize the power of Hai Province's Prefecture Overseer . His condition was so bad that he could not get out of his bed, and his soul was probably consumed by evil spirits such that he would never regain consciousness . Although he was in such a bad shape, Yu He did not show any intention of taking over Dong Hai County . Instead, it was Yu Miao who had struck out impatiently .
In the year that Wu Qi left Pangu Continent for outer heavenly realms, Yu Miao had sent someone to find out about his condition . After discovering that Wu Qi was indeed seriously wounded and bedridden, and that only a few of his subordinates were in charge of Dong Hai County, Yu Miao immediately sent assassins to kill Wu Qi . Meanwhile, he also sent his son, Yu Lei, to seize control of Dong Hai County .
That was the reason why Yu He was here with Yu Lei yesterday . According to Yan Feiyu's observations and Yu He's explanation, it was apparent that Yu Lei had used Yu Miao's power to force Yu He to Dong Hai County and help him seize the control of the county .
According to Great Yu's law, if a newly appointed county governor had no relatives or offspring, that was to say, no heirs; in the event that he was incapable of running his duty like Wu Qi, who had his soul badly wounded and was unlikely to recover, his direct superior had to send competent officers to take over the control of the county .
But, Yu He did not do that . Although Wu Qi was 'severely wounded and bedridden', Yu He turned a blind eye to Dong Hai County's affairs as if he did not know that Wu Qi had violated Great Yu's law . It was true that Yu He exhibited some habits of the son of a wealthy clan, but he remained faithful to friends; Wu Qi was grateful for that . However, he was greatly infuriated by the greed of Yu Miao and Yu Lei, the father and son duo .
"Whatever it takes, we must give Yu Miao a warning!" Wu Qi explained the cause and effects to Lu Chengfeng, and then gave the order . Wasting no time, Lu Chengfeng immediately assigned a number of confidants to carry out the task .
With the manpower and resources that Lu Chengfeng now had in hand, it was impossible for him to assassinate Yu Miao, who was a Great Oracle and as powerful as a Gold Immortal . But, he could handle it beautifully if the task was just to kill Yu Miao's sons, grandsons, the people he was related to, and destroy the shops ran by the people close to him .
Great Yan had a tradition of raising assassins . As Great Yan's Duke of Yan Le, along with the lucrative profits brought to him by Star picking City and Little Meng City, Lu Chengfeng had trained nearly ten thousand assassins in the recent years . The assassins had followed Wu Qi to Pangu Continent, and were now training in a secret valley outside Dong Hai City .
With all the vicious curses, lethal immortal talismans, and powerful war machines made by Mo Sect, these assassins would soon pierce into Yu Miao's heart like countless needles and make it bleed profusely . And when Yu Miao and the Elders around him were significantly weakened, it would be the time for Wu Qi to teach him a hard lesson .
Dong Hai County was on the move .
Teams of assassins were sent out after Wu Qi put all sorts of vicious curses and magic on their souls . At the same time, numerous intelligence personnel also swarmed out of Dong Hai County, infiltrating Zhong Province and the three hundred provinces under its jurisdiction . Lu Chengfeng, Lu Quyuan, and others had very strong administrative ability and efficiency . Within a few days of their deployment, Dong Hai County had initially put in place an efficient intelligence and assassination framework .
Years ago, after Wu Qi was severely wounded by the Primordial Gold Talisman, he had sent a lot of celestial fiend puppets to different places for developing powers while he was traveling across Pangu Continent on foot . Later on, he rescued tens of thousands of cultivators from Miao Ying Palace's mine and controlled them by planting restrictive spells on their souls, and sent them to assist those puppets . By now, they had all built up powers of different sizes in different places .
The puppets did well, even under the situation where Great Yu was wantonly killing itinerant cultivators of the Myriad Immortal Alliance . They lay dormant in towns and cities, spreading their networks in all directions like spiders . With the help of the powers and networks established by these puppets, the intelligence personnel from Dong Hai County had quickly penetrated every corner of Zhong Province .
Seven days later, Wu Qi received his first report from the assassins . Three assassins blatantly assassinated Yu Miao's great-grandson and great-granddaughter in the street of Zhong Ning City . Both were killed instantly, and dozens of guards responsible for protecting them were killed by the self-explosion of the assassins . Two Moon Oracles who were notified and rushed to the rescue from Yu Clan's mansion were also seriously injured by an assassin . The assassin had been hiding in the dark, and triggered a lethal immortal talisman made by Xun Kuang when the Oracles arrived, causing one of them to lose an arm and the other a leg . After he did that, the assassin self-detonated before he was captured .
Over the next three days, the results kept coming .
