Chapter 776: 776
Plague viruses swirled about all over the sky, forming into a dark blue cloud that obscured the void and swallowed even the starlight and the pale gleam of the moon . All the Elders from the Yu Clan in Zhong Province, including Yu Miao, stood absentmindedly in midair, glancing blankly at the large force approaching from around them .
Yu Mu had brought with him Yu Huai and Yu He, his only son and grandson, but his spouse was not in sight . Apart from them, the surroundings were filled with thousands of elite soldiers who donned black leather armors, the private army the Yu Clan in Liangzhu had dispatched to support Yu Mu . In addition, there were over a dozen of gray-haired old Oracles hovered in the sky with more than a thousand Oracles, all looking down at Yu Miao and his party, who were not trapped in the siege .
The gray-haired Oracles were the Elders from Yu Clan in Liangzhu . Among them, the three with the strongest cultivation bases had had one of their feet stepped into the realm of the Supreme Oracles . Had it not because their lives were approaching to an end, and there was no longer any medicinal pills that could effectively prolong their lives, they had every assurance of becoming Supreme Oracle . With three of such fearsome experts joined forces, Yu Miao and his party did not stand a chance to turn the tables, even when they had the Secluded Elder with them .
With her hands tucked under her sleeves, Princess Zhang Le floated in front of Yu Miao and his party, staring coldly at them in silence . They would die here, she knew, so she did not waste her time to talk to them . If Yu Miao had not harbored ill intention against Wu Qi's property, she would not have wasted her time on them . She was busy settling the people of the six dynasties, and she just did not have the leisure to deal with this bunch of old fogies .
Looking at the host of elites Yu Mu had brought from the Yu Clan in Liangzhu, the princess pursed her lips and back off a few steps on a cloud . She rested her gaze on Yu Mu, wanting to witness what method would he use to kill Yu Miao and the rest .
Yu Miao gave a bitter laugh . Shivering, he pulled out a pill bottle and crashed it, took out two pills and brought them up to his mouth . But, his instinct made him gave the golden body of the God of Scourge hovering atop Princess Zhang Le a glance, and then he quickly put the pills back into his sleeve . He had witnessed how his son was choked to death by two pills, and he did not wish to die an ugly death like that .
He sighed, looking at Yu Mu and said in a deep voice, "Are you really going to borrow the force of the principal clan to kill me? This is a violation of the laws and decrees of Great Yu . If this were to become a precedent, everyone will use the power of their principle clans to suppress the lesser branches, and it will create a messy situation across all the clans in Great Yu!"
With his hands clasped behind his back, Yu Mu looked at Yu Miao, shook his head and said, "We have fought against each other for many years, and I've not been able to truly defeat you," he heaved a faint sigh . "But you have made a mistake this time . You have laid your hand on Marquis of Dong Hai Province's property, and that has infuriated the Master of Yan Tian Palace . He has complained to His Majesty, and it is His Majesty who has issued a decree, commanding the principal clan of Yu Clan to remove you, the black sheep of the Yu Clan!"
He gave a cruel laugh, then went on, "If others were allowed to seize any Marquis of Province's territory, when it is uncertain whether he is still alive or not, isn't that will just make all the countless of Marquis in Great Yu shiver in fear? Grand Elder, your behavior has in fact damaged the very foundation of Great Yu!"
Yu Miao's brows knitted into a tight frown . Grinding his teeth, he said, "How could Tan Lang be possibly come back alive?"
Upon hearing that, a bright gleam flashed in Yu Mu's eyes as he stared at Yu Miao and said with a cold grin, "How can you be so sure that he is dead?"
Yu Miao's face flickered, and he avoided making eye contact with Yu Mu . "I see . So, you have colluded with those who assaulted Marquis of Dong Hai Province?" said Yu Mu, nodding slowly . "Yu Miao, the evidence is certain now, and you cannot cover it up in front of so many people!"
Princess Zhang Le nodded slowly, laughing coldly under her breath at the same time . Now she understood why as soon as Wu Qi went missing, Yu Miao had begun to jumping up and down, gathering others to scheme against Dong Hai Province . He must have received some concrete news that made him believed Wu Qi was dead . So, could it be that he also knew who set Wu Qi up in the dark?
She gave a cold snort, held her head up proudly, and said in a cold, indifferent voice, "Yu Miao, you better be frank to me . Who is the one you are colluding with? If you can tell me the truth, I will . . . " she paused, pondered for a while, then shook her head and said, "No, I have to dig up the grass, root and all . Sad to say that I can't spare you a few of your sons and grandsons . All your family must be killed . But . . . I can give you a clean death, sparing you a whole dead body . This is the greatest kindness I can bestow you!"
The corner of Yu Mu's mouth twitched a little . Even he found it hard to swallow Princess Zhang Le's words . He gave a quick glance at the princess, wondering why a little girl so delicate as she could come out with words so bloody and brutal? And why was she sounded so accustomed when she mentioned about killing Yu Miao's whole family?
After a long moment of silence, Yu Miao suddenly burst into wild laughter . Shaking his head, he said, "Well, well . . . I can't blame anyone for my own mistake . . . It's my fault to underestimate that little twerp Tan Lang . If I had been known that things would turn out this way, I would have killed him by all means, and that would certainly save me from all the troubles today!"
He darted a fierce glare at Yu Mu, and said grimly, "You said it is the Master of Yan Tian Palace himself complained to the Human Emperor, so the Human Emperor decreed the principle clan to intervene the affairs of Zhong Province? It seems that old fogy Yu Chen does know how to seize the chance . Well, congrats to you, for now the Yu Clan in Zhong Province has no other choice but to merge with the principle clan . Congrats on making the principal clan stronger than ever!"
