Chapter 1146: Chapter 440: Chaos Begins Chapter 1146: Chapter 440: Chaos Begins Life is but a muddled account, where the wrong people abound, it becos right.
In a foreign environnt, how can you prove that you are you?
What sounds like an absurd story is now playing out in the front courtyard of the Xiang Residence.
Besides the mbers of the Yun Clan Summit who were cursing Xiang Qian ferociously, the onlooking crowd was mostly skeptical.
After all, people only want to believe what they already believe, and they don’t wish to know the truth.
Over the past twenty years, under the deliberate guidance of the Xiang Family, everyone had co to believe that the Yun Family had only collateral disciples and the main family’s young lady surviving the calamity.
To accept that the Yun Family also had a surviving eldest son in such a short ti was indeed difficult.
“You find soone with a similar appearance and think you can usurp power, your gambler’s habits cannot be changed even at this age!”
Xiang Qian coldly said to Yun Huan and Yun Ji, “If he truly is the eldest son of the main family, why has he not returned to Chaochang for these twenty years, but chooses to appear at this ti?”
Why, if not because of the Xiang Family, yet these words could only remain in the heart, not spoken aloud.
Because the Xiang Family’s reputation had already been established in all parts of Longzhou and was not sothing that could be overthrown now.
After the marriage agreent, Yun Huan and his party once again fell into a passive position, and Xiang Qian clearly had no intention of showing rcy, continuing, “In the end, isn’t it just you collateral lines with disloyal hearts? There’s a saying that ‘a person’s greed is insatiable like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.’ Over the years, the city lord out of rembrance for the decimation of the Yun line, without distinguishing between legitimate and collateral branches, entrusted all major decrees and matters of Chaochang to the council to oversee and granted you significant powers, but what has been returned is your increasingly inflated ambition and outrageous arrogance that does not discern between high and low.”
Compared to the suddenly erging eldest son, people were more inclined to believe Xiang Qian’s words, as they were clear and well-founded.
The multitude of families that had initially stood behind the Yun Summit Council began to retreat one after another, except for the three from Four Directions Bank, Southern Sea Manor, and Tongnan Dock who could not extricate themselves, the rest were no longer to be seen.
Righteousness had once again returned to the side of the Xiang Family, and Xiang Qian, with hands behind his back, said loudly to Yun Huan’s group, “I see that the Yun Summit Council has beco overly self-interested and no longer qualifies for such an important position. It might be best to withdraw.”
Who could have expected that what was initially an action by the Yun Summit Council to drive out the Xiang Family would turn into the Xiang Family moving to abolish the Yun Summit Council?
“Ridiculous,” Yun Huan said coldly. “The Xiang Family has pledged allegiance to the An Family Divine Dynasty, what right have they to ddle in Chaochang affairs!”
“According to your ans, Elder Ancestor, if one has no right to ddle in Chaochang’s affairs, then what about this city lord?”
The clear and elegant female voice carried an unquestionable dominance as the Xiang Family’s courtyard soldiers dispersed, revealing a valiant woman approaching. Although she was dressed in coarse mourning clothes, she seed as though adorned in garnts of brocade, exuding an untouchable luxury.
Seeing her arrival, the family heads standing in the courtyard all bowed and greeted her respectfully, softly calling her the city lord.
…
Shigang Tavern
Tang Luo, who had taken lodgings in the tavern, spent his days discussing philosophical ways with Du Sha, and waited for the news sent by the young n of the Marshal Star Pavilion.
The most eye-catching piece of news was that the Xiang Family head, Xiang Ange, had been beheaded in his residence, all four camps were searching for clues to the killer, and Chaochang’s inner city was in complete disarray.
Everyone felt that Chaochang was about to descend into chaos, but Tang Luo noticed sothing different in the movents of the four camps.
“How could well-trained soldiers run around the city like headless flies?” Tang Luo frowned, his fingers tapping the report on the table sporadically, lost in thought.
It wasn’t until Du Sha, who had finished training the Star Generals, sat down opposite him that Tang Luo was startled awake.
Pushing the report on the table forward, Tang Luo asked Du Sha, “Mr. Du, what do you think about this?”
“There’s order in the chaos, it doesn’t seem like genuine fury.”
After reading the intelligence report, Du Sha arrived at the sa conclusion as Tang Luo.
Those outside the ga always have clearer vision than others; to scrutinize the movents of the Xiang Family’s four camps, it would be less chaotic and more of a planned notification.
Because with the actions of the four camps, many wealthy rchants and noble families within the inner city had already started to sharpen their swords and prepare their horses, ready to flex their muscles.
Could it really be that they intended to have a showdown with the Xiang Family? Tang Luo was highly skeptical.
The uneasy feeling in his heart was growing stronger, and Tang Luo only hoped that the Yun Family would not recklessly dive into the fray. Just as he was about to inquire about the progress of the agency, Fang Yuan barged into the tavern unceremoniously, rushed up to the two n like the wind, placed a sealed letter down, and spoke in a low voice, “This morning, Yun Huan, the chairman of the Cloud Summit Council, led the other seven council mbers into the Xiang Residence. After so negotiations, they have now started fighting in the inner city!”
Hearing the news, Tang Luo clenched his fists tightly. Although he had predicted that the Yun Family would plot against Chaochang at this ti, he did not expect them to be so hasty.
He had assud that they must have so amazing trump card in hand to be so urgent, yet now they had already made their move.
And once things developed to this point, there was no room for deceit; it was all about the comparison of true strength.
But Tang Luo really doubted whether the Yun Family could have grown strong enough in just over twenty years to confront the Xiang Family, the eighth wealthiest clan in Longzhou.
By forcibly seizing the Yun Clan’s foundation and commanding Chaochang’s resources, the Xiang Family’s power had grown exponentially over the years, with two Grandmasters among them. Even if they were injured by Master Chen at the mont, their combat power not at its peak, they still possessed the pinnacle strength of the Fierce Realm. Not to ntion that they had the support of the An Family Divine Dynasty behind them.
Could such a clan be provoked lightly without a King Realm champion?
“Instead of worrying, why not go and take a look?”
Seeing Tang Luo’s restless appearance, Du Sha suggested.
“Worry? Ha, I’m not worried at all.”
Tang Luo said contrarily, “I’m just afraid that if they fight too fiercely, it might hurt the young lads in the pavilion.”
“The agency is in the central district.”
Du Sha said indifferently, “Really not going?”
“Weren’t you the one influenced by the Stone Heart and Shadow Soul, becoming more indifferent?”
Tang Luo shook his head and sighed, “It seems such influences cannot be fully trusted after all.”
Having said that, Tang Luo stood up and asked Du Sha, “In a great battle between two clans, with Fierce Realm combatants clashing, my health is frail; can you protect ?”
“With the reappearance of the glory of Mi Yang, you won’t be hard in the slightest.”
Du Sha stood up and responded indifferently.
“Excellent. Have you brought the items?”
Nodding his head, Du Sha turned back into the room. When he reappeared, he was dressed in the Twenty-eight Constellations Robe and wore the Juexiu Mask on his head.
It is said that under the seat of the Northern Emperor, there are twenty-eight constellations, with Juexiu as the leader, the foremost in martial prowess, hence always summoned to the front.
And the appearance of this Marshal Star finally signified that the long-planned Marshal Star Pavilion was ready to declare its existence to the world.
…
Chaochang inner city, Xiang Residence
The bloodless coup plan ultimately evolved into an ard confrontation.
And what differed from the plan was that the scene of overwhelming response did not occur; even Boss Huang, Master ng, and Harbor Master Wang seed to be holding back.
