Chapter 863: Bloody Revenge
“Who is it?” Yue Zhuoran asked curiously.
Blazing Flame Grand Venerable replied, “Li Xiaofei isn’t the only one who walked out of the Forbidden Zone alive. Chu Xiang was one of them as well, wasn’t she?”
Yue Zhuoran’s heart trembled, We are on Chu Family territory, and he wants to target someone from the Chu Family?
It was well known that the current family head, Chu Zhongtian, doted on his granddaughter. Though she couldn’t inherit the position of patriarch, she was granted nearly everything else she desired.
Making a move on Chu Xiang... would the Yue Family even approve of this?
“Lost your nerve already?” Blazing Flame Grand Venerable sneered. “Don’t be afraid. As long as it’s done discreetly, the Chu Family won’t be able to pin anything on us. When the time comes, they won’t dare go to war over it. Heh... I want nothing more than to see that old bastard Chu Zhongtian consumed with grief and fury.”
His tone brimmed with vicious malice. Yue Zhuoran couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine. Their group returned to the Revered Protectors Corps’s quarters.
After a round of discussion, they began to take covert action. Within just a few hours, all of Chu Planet had fully entered a state of emergency. The skies were filled with the roar of flying vessels and wailing alarms. Enraged, the Chu Family made no effort to conceal their power, fully displaying their formidable strength.
The elite members of the Revered Protectors Corps were also divided into teams and dispatched to patrol various regions. Even though Chu Planet was vast, it would not take cultivators at the Three Origin Realm, Four Extremes Realm, and Five Dragons Realm long to conduct a full sweep.
Anyone who appeared even remotely suspicious was to be apprehended and subjected to strict interrogation. In less than half a day, thousands had already been thrown into the Chu Family's prisons.
At first, Yue Zhuoran remained fairly composed. But soon, his expression began to change. Some of those arrested by the Chu Family were spies planted by the Yue Family on Chu Planet, as well as individuals who had secretly been working to turn key personnel against the Chu Family.
They were using this chaos as an excuse to eliminate hidden threats. Still, Yue Zhuoran wasn't overly distressed. After all, they were expendable. Though they had been uprooted, replacements could be arranged later. The Yue Family could bear the loss.
