Bai Sha’s figure vanished almost without discussion!
Li Chonglou and Yue Hai exchanged glances.
"Follow!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Yue Hai took Li Chonglou and also disappeared from the room.
Everything happened too quickly. One moment all three were sitting on the sofa, and the next they were all gone with a gust of wind!
In the blink of an eye, only Yu Ke remained alone in the room.
"Brother Li, Brother Hai!"
Yu Ke rushed out of the room but only saw Yu Tianba, who had just come downstairs.
Although the latter was unclear about what had happened, he sensed the departure of the three. His expression suddenly changed, and he turned back towards Yu Ke.
"Little Ke! If you don't want your sister and father to be harmed, you will come out with me!"
Meanwhile, after leaving Yu Ke's place of confinement, Li Chonglou immediately fused with Caihong and drastically increased his speed.
"I'll go ahead!"
"Brother Li!"
Just as Yue Hai called out, Li Chonglou's figure vanished before his eyes. His speed was so great that Yue Hai could only watch from afar.
"Alas, when will I be able to have this kind of strength?"
For some reason, a red figure suddenly appeared in Yue Hai's mind. Although he had kept this memory buried deep down and dared not recall it, its influence was always there.
The reason he stayed at the Yu family’s instead of reporting back was partly due to this.
Yue Hai had intended to resolve Yu Ke’s issues before returning. His thoughts were not solely because Yu Ke was his friend.
More importantly, he felt that if he couldn't even protect Yu Ke, how could he protect anyone else?
And this was someone who far surpassed Yu Ke in both status and power!
However, he couldn't dwell on these thoughts for too long and immediately cast them aside, hurrying to catch up.
After performing the soul fusion, Li Chonglou immediately activated his Heavenly Eye's透视 (tòushì - clairvoyance) divine ability. Halfway there, he saw a scene that furrowed his brow.
In the Patriarch’s mansion, six men in grey were currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Patriarch's guards!
Besides the three masters, the Patriarch’s mansion also had several guards who had reached a certain level of cultivation. However, in front of the six men in grey, they seemed to be no match.
The lowest cultivation level among these six men was the third layer!
Four of them were at the fourth layer! The three masters were kept busy outside the Patriarch’s mansion, while the remaining one had already entered the core area and was in a fierce exchange with Bai Sha, who had rushed back!
Li Chonglou concealed his aura and hid in the shadows, just in time to hear Bai Sha’s furious roar.
"Who are you people! How dare you invade the heartland of the Yu family!"
To Li Chonglou’s surprise, the answer to Bai Sha did not come from the grey-clothed men, but from a slightly sinister voice.
"Bai Sha! You were the ones who broke the rules first by inviting outsiders to participate in internal affairs! According to the rules, our lineage has the right to help the Yu family restore order!"
"Nonsense! Second Master, the old Patriarch devoted his entire life to the Yu family and even cultivated you several people into talents. Is this how you repay the old Patriarch?"
"Bang!"
Perhaps due to distraction, Bai Sha’s figure was heavily struck by the grey-clothed man into a side courtyard. Immediately, stones shattered, kicking up dust.
But in the next second, Bai Sha’s figure rushed out from within, and with a backhand punch, struck the grey-clothed man in the air, repelling him. However, at this moment, a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Yet, there was no fear on Bai Sha’s face at this moment; instead, he was filled with rage.
"Second Master, how dare you collude with outsiders to invade the Yu family? Have you even considered the consequences!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several powerful auras rushed in from the west.
Simultaneously, Fourth Master's voice followed, "All of you, stop!"
Without understanding the situation, Fourth Master and his five accompanying masters surrounded the core area, instantly turning the previously weak defenses into an impregnable fortress.
The grey-clothed men also stopped their attacks and retreated to the side.
The great battle ceased as abruptly as it began. The six grey-clothed men returned to the main entrance of the Patriarch’s mansion, where Second Master and Mr. Hong stood with their hands behind their backs.
A moment later, Fourth Master also emerged from within with Ning Qiu, his face grim as he stared at Second Master.
At the same time, Bai Sha gathered his forces, but fearing another attack, he merely guarded the rooftop of the core area.
The Patriarch did not show himself.
However, in an instant, almost all of the Yu family’s core combat strength was gathered here, with the exception of Third Master’s lineage, who had never appeared.
At the main entrance, Fourth Master approached Second Master, his voice deep as he questioned, "Second Brother! Have you gone mad! When did the Yu family's affairs become the business of outsiders!"
Second Master met his gaze coldly.
"Fourth Brother, don’t speak so righteously. Don't think I don't know that you've also colluded with people from the Zhang family!"
Fourth Master roared, "Don’t bring up other things. I'm just asking you what your intention is by bringing outsiders to attack the Patriarch's mansion!"
Second Master sneered, "Fine, I won't bring up other things. Then open your eyes wide and see what this is!"
Second Master gave a signal to one of the grey-clothed men beside him. The latter took out a mobile phone from his怀 (huái - bosom/pocket) and threw it over.
Ning Qiu’s expression tightened. He quickly flashed forward and caught the phone. After confirming it was safe with his internal energy, he handed the phone to Fourth Master.
The phone was unlocked and contained almost nothing except for a video.
And the content of the video was precisely the scene previously secretly filmed by Second Master, showing Li Chonglou leaving the Patriarch’s mansion.
Fourth Master said coldly, "Second Brother, this is Yu Ke's boss. He came to see the Patriarch regarding Yu Ke's matter. I also know about this. What's wrong with this video?"
"Nothing wrong? Then let me show you something else!"
Second Master, with a gloomy expression, waved his large hand, and two of his subordinates carried out a package.
The package was clearly a human-shaped object. The two men set it down and unwrapped it, revealing the dead viper from earlier.
Second Master shouted, "You should know who killed my man! Do you think you can brush it off with a mere excuse? Someone who came to see the Patriarch killed my man, do you not understand what that means?"
Fourth Master’s expression suddenly changed, and he quickly looked at Ning Qiu beside him.
"I... I heard about this, but I'm not sure who killed the person."
After Ning Qiu finished speaking, he also looked towards Bai Sha behind them.
Bai Sha’s expression flickered, changing several times, but he finally shook his head, "I didn’t kill the person. When I got there, he was already dead."
At this moment, Second Master also interjected, "It wasn't Bai Sha. I've seen the wounds, and they aren't from anyone in our Yu family! And the person the viper was chasing at the time was precisely this outsider who claimed to be looking for Yu Ke!"
"Fourth Brother, with witnesses and evidence all present, what else do you have to say!"
"Can I just make up an excuse and invite people over to slaughter my own people? Then I can also say that they merely wanted to see the Patriarch!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s expression changed. Even Li Chonglou, hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but furrow his brow tightly upon seeing this.
He never expected Second Master to exploit the death of his own people to make a fuss!
