1022: Chapter 1023: Hehe, is there infighting already?

“Gentlemen, let us depart!”

Nangong Yu waved his hand, leading fifty-seven families, over three hundred martial artists.

All of them were Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters.

Such a scale was truly staggering.

Nangong Yu walked at the forefront, the corners of his eyes tinged with a trace of cold mirth.

However, this smile went unseen.

Under the cover of night, the group of over three hundred arrived at the Qiu residence.

They directly overran the guards at the entrance and burst inside.

Over three hundred Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters, such a force was undoubtedly launching a frontal assault.

There was no need for stealth.

In the dead of night, the sound of the main gate being smashed open jolted the entire Qiu Family awake.

“Once inside, kill anyone you see, no need to show mercy!”

Nangong Yu ordered coldly.

He waved his hand, yet he himself did not move, while his people charged forward.

At that moment, the courtyard was suddenly enveloped in the bright light of search lamps, startling everyone.

On the second floor, Qiu Long sat there, smiling gently as he watched the crowd of over three hundred below.

To his left and right stood one person each.

To the left was Qiu Si, a sixth-rank Great Grandmaster of the Qiu Family, and to the right was Lin Qingteng, another sixth-rank Great Grandmaster.

“Heh heh, you really did come after all!”

Qiu Long said with a smile, “A bunch of fools, can’t you see someone is intentionally stirring trouble within the Hao League, yet you still help them against my Qiu Family.

But do you really think the Qiu Family is so easy to deal with?”

“Enough talk, do you think you’re Zhuge Liang, able to bluff us with an empty fort strategy?

Just you two want to annihilate us?

What a joke!”

The representative of the Chen Family roared.

“Exactly, today your Qiu Family will be destroyed, do you really think your Silver Aristocratic Clan alone could confront our fifty-seven families and their three hundred martial artists?

Dream on!”

“Don’t waste words with him, just kill.”

“However, tonight’s operation was supposed to be secret, how could they know?”

“It seems someone leaked the information!”

“We have a traitor among us!”

The faces of the crowd turned ugly.

To maintain secrecy, all martial experts had gathered at the Nangong Family residence, where no one was allowed to use mobile phones or contact the outside world.

Theoretically, the Qiu Family should not have known of their action tonight.

Definitely, someone had betrayed them.

“Heh heh, falling out amongst yourselves so quickly?”

Qiu Long chuckled and said, “Family Head Nangong, our plan has come to fruition, you may come over now!”

What!

Nangong Yu’s face went through a drastic change.

Before he could explain, suddenly, dozens of martial artists lunged at the people of the Nangong Family.

Nangong Yu was taken aback.

This development had caught him completely off guard; he had thought that by using these families as cannon fodder today, he could eradicate the Qiu Family.

But who could have predicted, with just a single sentence from Qiu Long, that these people would be thrown into disarray.

“Family Head, you must flee!”

The Nangong Family martial artists, of course, were not lacking in ability.

They tried to protect Nangong Yu and facilitate his escape.

But unfortunately, they could not hold the line.

Nangong Yu this time had brought two sixth-rank Great Grandmasters.

But those two were killed in an instant.

Qiu Long smiled.

Among those who had acted, there were naturally those whom he had previously arranged.

His father might forbid him from contacting the Hades Organization,

but how could his father Qiu Qianren know that he himself was a member of the Hades Organization?

And those two who had struck were high-level martial artists he had borrowed.

A mere sixth-rank Great Grandmaster wasn’t worth mentioning in their presence.

“Heh heh, a bunch of fools, do you really think I’m Nangong Yu just because I say so?

With this level of skill, you still dream of destroying my Qiu family, truly overestimating yourselves!”

Qiu Long laughed.

The color drained from everyone’s faces.

They had been played.

The two top experts of the Nangong Family had been killed, and although Nangong Yu wasn’t dead, how could his strength compare to those two experts?

“A bunch of idiots–I how could I possibly be the mole?

If I were the mole, all of you would have been poisoned to death while drinking at the Nangong Family’s residence.

Why would I have waited until now?”

Nangong Yu roared angrily.

Every person’s face was extremely ugly.

Qiu Long clapped his hands, and in an instant, atop the Qiu family’s walls and on the second floor, numerous skilled marksmen wielding crossbows appeared.

There were at least a thousand of them.

Each person was holding a crossbow.

In an instant, they could turn everyone in the courtyard into a hornet’s nest.

“Since all of you are here, there’s no need to leave.

Although we’ve all been used by others,

it’s just as well.

My Qiu family has long wanted to dominate the Hao League.

The decaying gold aristocratic clans only know how to look out for themselves.

If the four major gold noble clans joined forces, they would really leave us no opportunity.

Unfortunately, they will never join hands; they’ll only be broken by my Qiu Family one by one!”

Qiu Long sat there, lit a cigarette, and while smoking casually, continued,

“The Shangguan Family’s Crossbow Team!”

Nangong Yu suddenly said: “These people are from the Shangguan Family’s Crossbow Team, aren’t they?”

“Heh heh, you’re smart.

I won’t conceal it from you; my Qiu Family has already cooperated with the Shangguan Family.”

Qiu Long laughed.

“Qiu Long, have you lost your mind?

Jincheng has always been under the control of our Hao League.

The Shangguan Family has long coveted it but has never succeeded.

And now you’re colluding with the enemy.

Do you think that once the Shangguan Family has obliterated us, their next target won’t be your Qiu Family?”

Nangong Yu said coldly.

“That’s right, Qiu Long, you’re only after the Xifeng Group.

You’ve already acquired all the shares of Xifeng Group, why bother cooperating with the Shangguan Family?

Once the internal affairs of our Hao League are interfered with by the Shangguan Family, things will get complicated.”

Qiu Long laughed: “You people really do like to worry.

Since when is my Qiu Family’s business any of your concern?

It’s funny.

How the Shanguan Family chooses to cooperate with us is our matter.

You don’t need to worry about it.

In any case, all fifty-seven of your families will be wiped out today.”

“Fight back!

What does it matter if it’s the Crossbow Team?

Once we charge in, there’ll be nothing to fear!”

“That’s right, enough talk, kill!”

However, the word “kill” had barely left their lips.

Suddenly, someone next to them clutched their throats, a crisp snap.

With that one sound, their necks were broken.

In their dying moments, the person who had shouted didn’t understand why.

“Thanks to the both of you, I have no debts of gratitude to the Shangguan Family.

As for tonight’s matters, you two will take care of it!”

Qiu Long looked towards the two individuals in the crowd who had taken action.

“Understood!”

The two chuckled coldly and charged into the crowd.

Facing a group of Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters, it was as if they were entering a realm without anyone else.

Screams of agony rose and fell one after another, chilling to the bone.

“Who exactly are these people!”

Nangong Yu’s face changed drastically.

These two were too powerful; killing a sixth-rank Great Grandmaster from his Nangong Family was as easy as stepping on an ant.

Since when did Jincheng possess such terrifying experts?

They must be at least seventh-rank Great Grandmasters.

But why, how could the Qiu Family have such fearsome experts?

“Family Head, run, avenge us!”

A fifth-rank Great Grandmaster by Nangong Yu’s side rushed through the main gate, shielding Nangong Yu.

Blocking all the incoming arrows, he turned into a porcupine but did not leave Nangong Yu’s side.

“I will certainly avenge you.”

Nangong Yu turned and left.
