"Of course not!"
Hu Yitong stood facing the small island, saying, "Because of that little bastard today, our plan to attack Wu Yao has likely been exposed!"
Hu Lekuo's heart tightened. "What should we do? If Wu Yao finds out we were the ones who attacked her, let alone marrying me, she'll probably hate me to death!"
"And the Wu family will definitely see our Qian Zhu Sect as enemies. We'll have no hope of obtaining the Wu family's formations from now on!"
That's right, the attack on Wu Yao in the suburbs of Tai Dao was precisely what Hu Yitong had arranged.
Initially, Hu Yitong had sent people to attack Wu Yao to snatch the spirit pearl. But halfway through, someone unexpected, Qin Yi, ruined his plans.
Later, when the assailants returned to report their failure to Hu Yitong, he took advantage of their inattention and killed them from behind.
Then, Hu Yitong had Hu Lekuo deliver the bodies to the Wu family, telling them that the Qian Zhu Sect had put in great effort to find the culprits, and had even sustained injuries to several disciples in the process of capturing and killing them!
Hu Yitong had done all this for one purpose: to gain the Wu family's gratitude!
Today, he had brought Hu Lekuo here with the intention of proposing marriage to Wu Yao, taking advantage of the Wu family's peak gratitude towards the Qian Zhu Sect, so that Hu Lekuo could marry Wu Yao!
Wu Di had only one daughter, Wu Yao. Once Hu Lekuo married Wu Yao, the entire Wu family would essentially belong to them in the future.
At that point, wouldn't it be easy for them to obtain the Wu family's inherited formations and the rare materials used to set them up?
Hu Yitong gazed at the small island, his eyes narrowing slightly, and spat out, "Since the soft approach didn't work, we'll switch to a harder method!"
Hu Lekuo: "Dad, you mean..."
"I'll contact Fei Yulong right now. Tonight, we'll launch a night raid on the Wu family!"
With that, Hu Yitong pulled out his mobile phone and walked aside to make the call.
Hu Lekuo stood frozen, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
However, his complex feelings soon vanished, replaced by a cold resolve.
And the Fei Yulong that Hu Yitong mentioned was precisely the leader of another martial arts force on Tai Dao, the Hun Yuan Gang!
On the small island, the Wu family.
Ever since discovering the anomalies on the bodies of the assailants, Wu Di had basically concluded that Hu Yitong was behind everything.
For this reason, Wu Di was immensely angry. If Qin Yi hadn't been present, and if he wasn't being entertained, he would have immediately led his men to the Qian Zhu Sect.
Even so, Wu Di had already decided that once Qin Yi and Han Xin left, he would lead his men to the Qian Zhu Sect early the next morning to demand an explanation from Hu Yitong!
If Hu Yitong couldn't provide a satisfactory explanation, he would even declare war on the Qian Zhu Sect!
In the afternoon, at the behest of Wu Di and Wu Deshang, Qin Yi and Han Xin did not leave and stayed to explore the small island.
Indeed, although the Wu family's small island was not large, its scenery was exceptionally beautiful, no less than the famous tourist attractions on Tai Dao.
Han Xin had a very enjoyable afternoon exploring the island.
Qin Yi's mood was also greatly improved by this.
That evening, the Wu family prepared a sumptuous banquet to entertain Qin Yi and Han Xin, which lasted from after seven o'clock in the evening until past ten o'clock.
The banquet only ended when Qin Yi, seeing that it was getting late, said he wanted to take Han Xin back to the city.
However, just as Qin Yi and Han Xin stood up, preparing to leave, a sound suddenly came from outside.
Swish, swish, swish...
"Enemy attack, there's an enemy attack..."
Bang, bang...
"Ah..."
These sounds included the sharp hiss of arrows in flight, shouts, and screams.
In an instant, Wu Deshang, Wu Di, and Wu Yao, who were present, all stood up in unison and looked towards the outside of the villa.
The next moment, Wu Zhongshui, Wu Yuezhou, and several other Wu family members, injured and disheveled, rushed into the villa.
Wu Yuezhou, whether due to his injuries or his haste, tripped and fell to the ground as he rushed into the villa.
Wu Di dashed forward and helped him up, asking, "What happened?"
Wu Yuezhou, his face covered in dust, pointed back towards the entrance and said, "Patriarch, the Qian Zhu Sect and the Hun Yuan Gang are attacking us!!!"
"What?" Wu Di was greatly alarmed.
Wu Deshang and Wu Yao were both shocked.
Before they could speak, a group of people swaggered in from the main entrance.
The two leading the group were precisely Hu Yitong and Hu Lekuo.
Beside them was a shorter man, only about 1.6 meters tall, but stout and broad-shouldered. He carried a weapon resembling a mace!
Qin Yi clearly saw that blood was still dripping from his mace.
And these people were none other than the leader of the Hun Yuan Gang, Fei Yulong.
Hu Yitong, Hu Lekuo, Fei Yulong, followed by twenty to thirty martial artists from the Qian Zhu Sect and the Hun Yuan Gang, entered the villa in a grand procession.
A moment later, they stopped in front of Wu Di, Wu Deshang, and the others.
Wu Di stepped forward and sternly demanded, "Hu Yitong, Fei Yulong, what do you want???"
Wu Deshang also stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Wu Di. Wu Zhongshui and the others, being injured, remained behind.
Their gazes towards Hu Yitong and his group were filled with hatred!
If looks could kill, Hu Yitong and the others would have died a thousand times over.
Facing Wu Di's fury, Hu Yitong not only showed no concern but spread his hands with a smile, saying, "Brother Wu, isn't it obvious? Why do you ask such a foolish question?"
Fei Yulong flicked the blood from his mace and said to Wu Di, "Old Wu, your family's formations are really not much. I broke them with just a few swings!"
"Fei Yulong, our Wu family and your Hun Yuan Gang have always minded our own business. What is the meaning of your attack on my Wu family today?" Wu Di gritted his teeth and asked.
At this moment, if Hu Yitong hadn't been present, and if they hadn't had twenty to thirty martial artists from two factions behind them, Wu Di would have already rushed forward to fight.
Wu Di's strength was comparable to Hu Yitong and Fei Yulong. He could fight one of them, but not both!
Fei Yulong grinned and chuckled, "Your Wu family and our Hun Yuan Gang have no major grudges, but we are very interested in your Wu family's formations! If the Wu family head can hand over your Wu family's formation cultivation manual and the formation materials, I will lead my men away!"
"You're dreaming!"
Wu Di cursed without hesitation.
What the other party was asking for, the formation manual and materials, were the very foundation of their Wu family. Wu Di would never hand them over, even if he died.
