Chapter 871: Chapter 871: Arrogant, Striking to Kill! Chapter 871: Chapter 871: Arrogant, Striking to Kill! The few who spoke out in persuasion were also high-ranking mbers of the Lu Family.
And indeed, their words had so rit, primarily considering the interests of the entire Lu Family.
Just for this reason alone, even Lu Zhongting, Wei Zhengyang, and Lu Xue, who supported Lu Yuwei, just furrowed their brows.
They had no grounds to argue!
As for the Lu Family mbers gathered all around the large courtyard and inside and outside the ancestral hall, seeing that so among the leadership had made their stance clear, imdiately there was an uproar.
So of the family mbers whispered among themselves in small groups.
Those gathered behind Lu Yuwei quietly moved aside.
If Ye Fan were still alive, they would lend him their unwavering support without a sliver of doubt.
But now that Ye Fan was gone, just for the so-called final dignity and peace, to block the Eight Great Families from exhuming the coffin, risking their own lives for it, they really didn’t think it was necessary.
“Ha ha ha…”
“I thought they really weren’t afraid of dying. Turns out after all this, they’re just spineless.”
“Lu Yuwei, do you see? Even in your own Lu Family, so many people are unwilling to be a sacrificial burial for the Ye surna. Or do you really want to drag everyone down with you?”
“This is what it ans to recognize the current situation, this is what it ans to be smart!”
“Get out of the way imdiately, my patience has run out with you, if you keep blocking the way, don’t bla for taking action right away…”
Seeing the Lu Family mbers divided into two factions, erupting in internal strife, the people from the Eight Great Families laughed loudly, becoming even more domineering and arrogant.
The so-called exhumation for examination was just a casual excuse.
Their true purpose for coming here today was to take one last stab at revenge, to spite Ye Fan even in his death.
And so, the final exhumation, although necessary, was sothing they enjoyed less than the entire process leading up to it.
Just like now, watching the Lu Family fall into chaos, split in opinions, not only was it a slap in the face for Lu Yuwei, but it also brutally tarnished Ye Fan’s reputation.
This was the effect they wanted!
“You’re too much, get out of here at once…”
Lu Yuwei was provoked, her almond eyes bloodshot and full of veins.
Completely ignoring Patriarch Du’s final warning, she instead yelled at him angrily.
Seeing Ye Fan being humiliated even after death, not even able to rest in peace during his funeral procession, she was on the verge of a ntal breakdown, close to going berserk.
“If you don’t want a toast, you must drink a forfeit – it’s a misery of your own making!”
“Boom!”
Patriarch Du’s expression darkened, his Qi Force revolved around him, and as he coldly shouted, he suddenly made his move.
A terrifying force surged like a tide, rolling straight towards Lu Yuwei…
“Humph!”
“Yuwei, be careful!”
“Move aside quickly!”
Cries of shock and cold hums quietly rose. Lu Xue pulled Lu Yuwei away, and several key Lu Family mbers rushed forward, taking their place in front.
Even Wei Zhengyang made a move, taking on most of the force of the blow.
Unfortunately, due to the suddenness of the attack, Wei Zhengyang wasn’t able to exert his full power; a stream of blood spurted from his mouth as his figure was imdiately sent flying.
Lu Xue also staggered backward several steps, affected by the residual force, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
The most tragic were the few key Lu Family mbers who had rushed out to the front; they were all sent flying, their chests caved in, and after crashing to the ground, they lay silent, dead on the spot…
Inside and outside the ancestral hall, an uproar ensued once again.
All Lu Family mbers had reddened eyes, so wanted to rush out but were firmly held back by peacemaking clansn beside them.
They feared a bloody purge of the Lu Family by the Eight Great Families, a price too heavy to bear.
“Surnad Du, you are going too far!”
Lu Zhongting’s eyes were bloodshot, his beard and hair quivering, his expression mournful as he berated loudly.
But he dared not make a move, his clenched fists digging into his own flesh, forcefully suppressing the impulse to burst forth and fight.
He was the manager of the Lu Family, representing the entire family’s stance.
Once even he made a move, all mbers of the Lu Family present, whether in favor of war or peace, would have to act together.
Then the other seven Family Heads standing behind Patriarch Du, along with over a hundred powerful mbers of the Eight Great Families, would swarm in as well.
The only possible outco would be a massacre of the Lu Family, blood flowing like a river.
The opponents wanted just that, and as the manager of the Lu Family, he must endure the unendurable, or else fall for their provocation…
“This is what happens to those who oppose the old man!”
“Lu Zhongting, to think you’re the manager of the Lu Family, watching your clansn lying dead in front of you yet cowering from action, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at if this spreads?”
“So the entire Lu Family is nothing more than a bunch of shrinking turtles…”
“Ha ha ha…”
Patriarch Du, hand stained with the blood of Lu Family mbers, still insisted on humiliating them publicly without restraint.
The group of over a hundred experts from the Eight Great Families gathered behind him also burst into laughter, so even whistling and jeering in mockery.
It was at this ti that footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the courtyard.
A group of people rushed in, all mbers of the Mortal Alliance, with Guo Li, Yu Qiang, Songyang, and Wang Fugui leading the way.
This group of Mortal Alliance powerhouses also numbered dozens and they charged directly into the courtyard.
There were also so figures lingering outside of the Lu Family gates, looking inwards, whispering and discussing amongst themselves.
These people were from other larger and smaller families in An City.
They knew that today was Ye Fan’s funeral.
They had rely intended to co and watch but had unexpectedly stumbled upon this scene.
“Alas, what is the Lu Family doing? For the dead, they’ve needlessly sacrificed several more lives.”
“What you’re saying isn’t right. Lu Yuwei’s insistence, her genuine and sincere feelings for Ye Fan – he was fortunate…”
“Even so, what’s the point of it all? The man’s already dead, and yet it leads to Lu Yuwei’s humiliation and the Lu Family mbers accompanying him in death. How can they bear the sha when this gets out?”
“Rember how renowned the Qilin Child of the Ye Family was? Now in death, he faces such unbearable disgrace; such is the unpredictability of life that provokes one to gnash teeth in regret…”
While those outside the courtyard were busy with their discussions, Guo Li and the others had already charged into the center, blocking in front of the mbers of the Eight Great Families.
With grim faces and furious expressions, they spoke out in accusation, “Patriarch Du, what are you doing?”
“Brother Fan is no more, the dead should be respected. Isn’t this just aningless?”
“It’s said that one should spare others when one can. Please, esteed Family Heads, withdraw. We ca today only to send Brother Fan off peacefully on his last journey…”
Implicit in their words was that if the people from the Eight Great Families wouldn’t concede, insisting on desecrating the body and causing a scene, Guo Li and his comrades would not stand idly by.
If need be, they would fight!
Lu Yuwei covered her mouth, tears welling up when she saw Guo Li and the others arrive, all her grievances pouring out in that mont.
And Lu Zhongting, along with Wei Zhengyang, Lu Xue, and the others who had just risen from the ground, were greatly heartened.
The many Lu Family mbers in the courtyard also saw hopeful light in their eyes once more.
However, the leading eight Family Heads seed not to take it lying down, their expressions darkened, and they sneered one after another…
