Chapter 25

Chapter 25: The Ambition of a Wolf Cub

Silence!

When Lei Yuntian’s head rolled to the ground, everyone present fell silent. He was a master at the late innate stage, one of the three greatest masters in Green Cloud City.

Now, he was killed by a rising star, and no one would believe it if the news got out.

But it was happening right in front of them, and it was almost overwhelming!

"It’s over!"

The guards of the Lei family and even those closely related to them were filled with despair and surprise.

"Kill!"

Almost immediately, the guards who had laid down their weapons picked them up again and rushed to attack the Lei family and Huang family members nearby.

Caught off guard, dozens of guards were slain by these traitorous guards on the spot.

Rather than saying these people were decisive, it was more accurate to say they were well-prepared; if Yi Qianmo lost this battle, they would immediately turn to attack the Yi family.

And now, Yi Qianmo, almost overwhelming, has defeated Lei Yuntian, and they naturally chose the Yi family.

Just after these betraying guards revealed their loyalty, the remaining two members of the Huang family, with Yi Qianmo’s addition, fell into a disadvantage.

Huang Xingchu and Yi Danian were evenly matched, but Yi Qianmo’s arrival completely changed the battle.

Just as the Yi family was undergoing a great change, an old man hiding not far from the battlefield quickly left the Yi family; this man was Steward Yu.

………

Yu family.

Yu Changqing and the woman in white were waiting for news from the Yi family. They had already drank three cups of tea, but neither of them was in a hurry.

After a while, Steward Yu returned and saw Major Steward’s worried face. Yu Changqing asked curiously, "What happened? Did something go wrong?"

"Reporting to you, my lord, indeed, something has happened."

Steward Yu was covered in cold sweat.

Yu Changqing showed no signs of worry and said, "The Lei family and the Huang family lost quite a few people? That’s normal, after all, that little beast killed Lei He. The Yi family is like two innate fighters; it should be ending soon, right?"

"Yes, it should be over very soon."

Steward Yu said, "But, sir, you guessed wrong?"

Hearing this, Yu Changqing was taken aback and asked, "Could it be that we lost an innate fighter? The Lei family and the Huang family joined forces, four innate fighters, and yet still lost? That’s just unacceptable!"

"Yes, the Lei family lost an innate fighter; Lei Yuntian is dead!"

Steward Yu said.

"No way!"

Yu Changqing immediately stood up, staring at him coldly. "Say that again? How could Lei Yuntian be dead? I know his strength!"

"His strength is indeed very strong, but compared to Yi Qianmo, he is far behind!"

Steward Yu thought of the scene when Yi Qianmo fought Lei Yuntian, and he felt a chill all over; only he could see clearly Yi Qianmo’s strike.

Fast, too fast; it was so fast that even he found it hard to react!

"Yi Qianmo!"

Yu Changqing’s eyes widened, "Impossible! Isn’t he a post-natal? How could he possibly defeat Lei Yuntian!"

"Did Yi Qianmo really do it?"

The woman in white also stood up; her face seemed calm, but there was indeed some surprise.

"No, he is not post-natal, he is… innate, and he is in the late innate stage…"

Then, Steward Yu revealed everything he had seen, "Not only has Yi Qianmo entered the late innate stage, but Yi Danian has also entered the late innate stage. Additionally, the Yi family has gained two more innate members, Yi Tianyu and Yi Tianyang!"

Yu Changqing was stunned for a long time, then he sat back down on the chair, looking lost, "It’s impossible. How could the Yi family have two more innate masters? How could Yi Danian enter the late innate stage? Especially Yi Qianmo. He has been Youwei’s furnace for thirteen years. Even if Youwei didn’t destroy his energy center, he couldn’t have reached the late innate stage in such a short time!"

He looked at Steward Yu, thinking that Steward Yu was lying, but that thought only crossed his mind for a moment before he completely dismissed it. Steward Yu had been close to the Yu family for so many years; he would not deceive him.

So everything is true!

Although he did not know how Yi Qianmo reached the late innate stage, at this moment, he felt a bit regretful, regretting that he didn’t give the order to eradicate the problem at the manor.

And now this son-in-law of the Yu family has grown into the late innate stage, posing a huge threat to the Yu family.

No, the current Yi Qianmo is no longer the son-in-law of the Yu family, because Yu Youwei gave him two choices: one was to stay in the dungeon as a prisoner, and the other was to take a divorce letter and leave the Yu family.

Yi Qianmo chose the latter.

"This young man will surely seek revenge, and now he is gaining power…"

Just thinking about the bloody scene at the manor made Yu Changqing shiver instinctively.

Although he never personally hurt Yi Qianmo, he knows very well everything that happened in that mansion and dungeon over the past thirteen years.

During these thirteen years, the only one in the Yu family who cared for Yi Qianmo was Yu Youwei.

But he knows very clearly why Yu Youwei is kind to him, and in the end, the person who hurt Yi Qianmo the most was Yu Youwei.

If the Lei family and Huang family hate Yi Qianmo because of a vendetta against his father, then the Yu family’s pain towards Yi Qianmo is personal.

Yu Changqing, who had been steady for thirteen years, finally became nervous because the Yi family was rising!

"Sir, why don’t we hurry to the Yi family to help the Huang family and Lei family? That way…" Steward Yu said.

"It’s too late!"

The woman in white said, "If you go there now, you are telling everyone in Green Cloud City that you were part of what happened back then, and in fact, you were involved, weren’t you?"

Yu Changqing didn’t avoid the topic, but he didn’t admit it either. He just said, "Your Highness is right, the Yi family’s power is now strong, and going there now won’t help at all. Besides… Yi Qianmo is already late innate stage; with his skills, at least two people of late innate stage would be needed to handle him!"

Speaking of this, Yu Changqing looked at the woman in white.

The woman in white naturally knew what he was thinking and directly refused, saying, "I will not take part in this matter. However, with Youwei’s status in the Xuanyuan Sect, even if the Yi family had one hundred more innate talents, what could they do to your Yu family? Below the heavenly beings, everyone is like ants!"

When Yu Changqing heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief but still felt a bit worried and said, "I’m just afraid Yi Qianmo might take desperate actions. After all, long-distance water cannot quench short-distance thirst. Major Steward, please go to the Xuanyuan Sect yourself and inform Youwei. Ask the experts from the sect to come; we will hold off the Yi family!"

After Steward Yu left, he raised his hand, and immediately a man in black appeared beside him. Yu Changqing said, "Prepare a gift to be sent to the Yi family. Also, immediately notify Green Cloud City that the Yi family is our Yu family’s relative; to offend the Yi family is to offend the Yu family!"

With each order given, Yu Changqing finally felt a bit steadier.

The woman in white gave him a thumbs up and said, "Now there are rumors outside that the rise of the Yi family is due to the support of the Yu family. If you announce this to the whole city, it will make it more certain. If Yi Qianmo comes to take revenge, it will be seen as ungrateful, and the entire Green Cloud City will not tolerate him. Well done!"

Yu Changqing sneered and said, "The Yi family has wicked ambitions; we must be on guard!!!"

The woman in white did not comment and murmured, "What I am most curious about is how the Yi family gained two more innate talents without any help from your Yu family?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Changqing, who had just relaxed, immediately tightened his expression.
