Chapter 1396 - 1395: Kuang Shengtian’s Revenge
"Oh, daddy, what are you saying? You’re making your daughter sound like a sadist; I’m actually very gentle, okay." Wu Mengting said with a playful complaint.
"Haha, alright, alright, you’re very gentle." Wu Jian was just joking around.
Saying this, the three of them entered the hall and sat down. Wu Jian had also heard about the situations outside recently; now, corrupt officials are in power, foreign enemies invade, the country has lost its integrity, and the people are living in deep distress.
"Since you both have returned, I am greatly relieved. I also know that today’s Huaxia is no longer so peaceful. The Kuang Chenggong family has occupied Capital City, and the military situation at the border is urgent; the grand landscape is already in grave danger." Wu Jian sighed and said.
"So the urgent task now is to find a way to eliminate the Kuang Chenggong father and son, regain imperial power, and then help the Outer Border Army to annihilate the foreign enemies, driving the Sabina People out of Huaxia."
Wu Jian, like Zhuge Liang of later generations, strategizes in the tent, winning from a thousand miles away.
"Father-in-law is truly someone who cares for the country, worrying for its people when in high position, and fretting for the lord when far in the wilderness." Chen Tianlong said with great admiration.
"Dad, what should we do next?"
Wu Mengting, although not understanding the major affairs of the state, felt particularly distressed by the various things she saw outside these days; the chaos of war brought great harm to the people.
"First of all, eliminating the Kuang Chenggong father and son is not an easy task. Kuang Chenggong’s Phantom Divine Skill has reached a miraculous level, and there are many hidden cultivation experts and wise laymen around him. To completely uproot them, we must plan carefully."
Wu Jian also shook his head helplessly and said.
"Alright, don’t think too much. Since you are back, stay at the villa for a few days before leaving again." Wu Jian was not willing to part with Wu Mengting, wanting to stay with her for a little longer.
"Mm, okay, daddy."
Wu Mengting replied joyfully.
And Chen Tianlong, having just recovered from significant injuries, did not want to be restless, so he agreed to stay and enjoy a few days of peace; the days of wandering outside were really uncomfortable.
Assassin Group, in the secret cave on the mountaintop.
Everything was quiet, like the calm before the storm, deathly still, peaceful.
Fang Yan administered the Great Rejuvenation Pill to Wu Guangzu, then began to channel Qi for healing. Wu Guangzu quickly felt his body’s meridians slowly restoring, albeit slowly, but it could recover; at this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Fang Yan Daoist, still incomplete in reaching Great Perfection, was now consuming a large amount of Powerful Qi and cultivation to heal Wu Guangzu, causing his power to slowly decline. Fang Yan was willing to gamble, but a tragic scene was about to unfold...
Kuang Shengtian, after chasing all day with several men in black, saw nothing at all, becoming very angry, feeling it impossible. Obviously, the two ran towards the outskirts of the city, one a maiden, the other a severely injured person, how fast could they run?
Kuang Shengtian was very depressed, suddenly recalling Wu Guangzu seemed to be someone from the Assassin Group, possibly ran through a hidden path?
Thinking of this, Kuang Shengtian decided to retract and discuss a plan when returning, moreover they were all injured, his going for assassination failed, but instead Great Power God under him suffered serious injuries.
They accelerated, quickly returning to Capital City; Kuang Shengtian returned home, at this time seeing his mother limping out of the room supported by servants.
Initially, she did not feel anything, but after lying down for a while upon returning, pain spread all over her body; now she was limping while walking.
"Mom, what happened, who was so bold?"
Kuang Shengtian, seeing his mother in such a state, became very angry.
"Shengtian, you must avenge me. This morning the coachman was driving me back from the outside, when an unknown boy tricked us, killed the horse, and we flew off the road into the ditch, almost dying." The lady cried and said.
"You mentioned a young man, is he about this tall, looking handsome, wearing leg wrap pants?" Kuang Shengtian said while gesturing.
"Ah? How did you know, yes, and beside him was a very beautiful girl." Hearing Kuang Shengtian’s words, she thought of the girl Wu Mengting.
"Ha, then it’s most likely that kid Chen Tianlong."
Kuang Shengtian said viciously, but suddenly thought of something.
"No, Chen Tianlong was heavily injured by us last night, how could he recover so fast?" This made Kuang Shengtian take a deep breath in surprise.
"I’m also not sure if it’s the same person as you said."
The lady was a little confused, not daring to confirm directly.
"Alright, mom, just rest well, I’ll definitely avenge you, if it’s that Chen Tianlong, I’ll repay him double."
Kuang Shengtian said with a cold smile.
After saying it, he walked to the hall.
Just reached the hall when Kuang Shengtian was called by his father Kuang Chenggong: "Shengtian, dad wants to discuss something with you, according to reports, Assassin Group’s Wu Guangzu was severely injured, is it your work?"
"Hehe, indeed, but how did you know, dad?"
Actually, Kuang Shengtian wanted to cover up the matter of Power God Li Qianchou.
But just as he finished speaking, Kuang Chenggong stood up angrily and scolded: "You fool, don’t you know Li Qianchou is my right-hand man, I rely on him at the battlefield, how could you ruin him."
"Please calm down, dad, I deserve death, but....." Kuang Shengtian hurriedly pleaded.
"Ah, but what, you better tell me."
Kuang Chenggong asked irritably.
"But it’s not entirely my fault, if it wasn’t for Assassin Group’s Wu Guangzu using some Powerful Qi Bomb at the end, Protector Li would not have been seriously injured; we never anticipated that, and you know, Protector Li is so mighty in battle, those small minions are of course insignificant, who would have thought....."
Kuang Shengtian, feeling he’d said enough, indeed Kuang Chenggong thought for a moment and then said: "What you said makes some sense, but death can be avoided, punishment is unavoidable; I punish you to lead troops to capture Assassin Group tomorrow, this place is easy to defend and hard to attack, if it can be used by me in the future, it’d be a treasure."
Kuang Chenggong was indeed imposing, his idea was of annexation, rather than personal vendetta, showing signs of a great general, though he was a tyrant, he was capable.
"Yes, dad, I will complete the mission."
Kuang Shengtian said, sneering, turned and walked out of the hall.
Outside the courtyard, Kuang Shengtian looked at the sky and said viciously: "Chen Tianlong, if you want to fight me, there’s no way."
The next morning, Kuang Chenggong mustered a thousand elite soldiers, divided into cavalry, infantry, etc., accompanying Kuang Shengtian heading to Assassin Group.
Additionally, to ensure no mistakes, Kuang Chenggong assigned two generals, Zhao Ping and Zhao An, two brothers, to accompany Kuang Shengtian.
The two are military generals of Sabina, second only to Great Power God Li Qianchou; Kuang Chenggong intended for this operation to succeed.
He anticipated that Wu Guangzu is the backbone of the Assassin Group, thus with such severe internal injuries, Fang Yan would undoubtedly deplete his cultivation to heal Wu Guangzu; once broken through, he would strike again, considerably confident in success.
