The Dao of the Primordial World - Chapter 31

Chapter 31 - Conspiracy

The Liu and Nan Gong Families in exchange for fresh blood was indeed the name of Li Yi, the Martial Immortal of the Li Family. Especially the head of the Liu family, Liu Dingbang. If his daughter-in-law were to be taken away from him, it would be like slapping himself in the face, slapping the Liu family in the face.

Nangong Family and Liu Family were all injured during the trip to Zhao Kingdom, especially the Liu Family.

When the Nangong Family attacked Li Yi in the wild boar forest, he let two Sword God experts fall, the Sword God was the goal that almost all the martial cultivators wanted to achieve, it was the lofty God that all the ordinary people looked up to; the Sword God, if the martial cultivator did not have good talent, a good cultivation technique, or the guidance of a powerful expert, and had not been training with tenacity for many years, it would be impossible to reach that goal. Nangong Family suffered a small mistake and lost two Sword God experts, how could he not feel heartache?

In the Zhao Kingdom, Li Yi had killed four Sword Saints and one Sword God with a single slash. The remaining two Sword Saints and Sword God were severely injured, and would not be able to recover until they had recuperated from several decades of recuperation. It could really be said that the loss was huge, it was the Liu Family's greatest loss in the past few hundred years, and it was not considered a serious loss for the Liu Family who had a large amount of assets. But the thing that angered Liu Family Head, was that Li Yi actually took away his daughter-in-law in front of the Liu Family Patriarch, causing Liu Dingbang to be so furious that he wanted to vomit blood on the spot.

Liu Family Liu Yi, as the eldest son of the current Patriarch of the Liu Family, had a halo of envy on her body. Now, having her wife snatched away by Li Yi in front of him and being completely powerless, she, who had always been known as the unparalleled number one in the younger generation, had been mercilessly beaten into the abyss.

Liu Yi lifted his wine cup and downed each cup of wine, not caring in the slightest whether he was drunk or not. Liu Yi's eyes were filled with endless sorrow and regret, as well as endless hatred. Remembering the bits and pieces of the marriage with Xue'er, that smile that could make flowers bloom, and that sound that could make skylarks lose their color, the corner of Liu Yi's mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile. Then, thinking back to the day of the wedding, when Li Yi appeared, Xue'er's eyes were filled with boundless joy. Li Yi, if I, Liu Yi, do not take revenge for stealing my wife, how can I live on with this world? Liu Yi's eyes were filled with anger, as though he was a ferocious beast that was fond of choosing a person, he gritted his teeth and swore silently.

Liu Dingbang's study, Liu Yi pushed open the door and fiercely kneeled beside his father's legs that was in deep thought.

"Father, you must avenge your son! Li Yi stole my wife, stole your daughter-in-law, and killed people from my Liu family. Father, when has my Liu family ever received such humiliation? How can we not avenge such a huge grievance? " Liu Yi cried.

Liu Dingbang looked at his precious son's twisted face due to hatred, and his heart suddenly hurt. To take revenge, how could he not want to?

Yi'er, such a huge grudge, how can we not take revenge, it's just that Li Yi is too strong, we can't do anything recklessly! Liu Dingbang said helplessly.

"Father, my Liu Family has so many experts, how can they be afraid of Li Yi? Then, we shall exterminate the Li Clan first before dealing with Li Yi. " Liu Yi's mind was filled with hatred.

Exterminate the Li Family! Liu Dingbang's heart suddenly skipped a beat. That's right! Could it be that the Li Family was afraid of Li Yi? Then, he thought about how it would be extremely difficult for the Liu Clan to annihilate the Li Clan with their strength! Liu Dingbang's eyes suddenly brightened up, as if he had thought of something that moved his heart.

"Yi'er, don't worry. Father will soon be able to avenge you." Liu Yi supported Liu Yi as he spoke, his eyes filled with an inexplicable spirit.

"Father, really?"

Nangong Family's Patriarch, Liu Family's Patriarch Liu Dingbang requests an audience! A servant reported to Nangong Chen.

"Oh! Why is he here? " Nangong Chen said, "Quickly invite him in!"

"Brother Dingdong, what wind brought you here?" Nangong Chen rushed into the house and said to Liu Dingbang.

"Brother Chen, I don't want to come here for no reason. I'm going to give you a treasure. I wonder if you have the guts to accept it." Liu Dingbang said.

"Oh!" Nangong Chen muttered to himself and knew that he had something important to discuss with him, "Brother Dingguo, let's talk in the secret room."

Nangong Chen's secret room: "Brother Dingguo, this place is quiet. If there's anything you want to say, just say it!" Nangong Chen looked at him and said.

Liu Dingbang sat down, picked up the teacup on the tea table and slowly sipped.

"Brother Chen, I heard that eight years ago, young master's meridians were crippled. Is that true?" Liu Dingbang said, "This is a family scandal, I don't know what Brother Dingbang means." Nangong Chen knit his brows.

"Don't you want to take revenge?" Liu Dingbang stared into Nangong Chen's eyes and said.

"I do, why would I not? But the Li family is powerful, and Li Yi's martial arts are unfathomable. How can I report it?" A trace of hatred flashed deep in Nangong Chen's eyes, he continued, "Previously, didn't your Liu Family also lose to Li Yi?"

The hatred in Nangong Chen's eyes did not escape Liu Dingbang's gaze. Liu Dingbang's heart relaxed a little.

"Brother Chen, let's not beat around the bush. I want to join forces with Brother Chen to deal with the Lee family. With the strength of our two families, it shouldn't be difficult to eradicate the Lee family. I wonder if Brother Chen has the guts." Liu Dingbang went straight to the point.

"Since Brother Ding Peng is honest, then I will say it clearly, I have always wanted to eliminate Li Yi from the Li family, but you know Li Yi's strength, killing the Li family is easy, but according to the Second Elder, Li Yi's strength might already surpass the Old Ancestor." Nangong Chen hesitated a little before continuing, "Do you have a way to restrict Li Yi?"

"Brother Chen, have you heard about the Gate of Heaven?" Liu Dingbang suddenly said.

"You mean the Gate of Heaven that opens every 500 years?" Nangong Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Right, we can deal with Li Yi there, but how are we going to deal with the Li Family?"

"At this stage, we can only secretly attack the Li Family, we cannot alert Li Yi, or else the consequences will be unpredictable!"

The two of them kept quiet at the same time, frowning in deep thought.

Time passed minute by minute.

Suddenly, the eyes of both of them lit up as they spoke at the same time, "War!"

They couldn't help smiling at each other.

In the Li family's study room, "Father, Yi Er has probably made a big deal out of this, do you think the Liu Family and the Nan Gong Family will join hands to deal with us? Li Yunfeng said to Li Cangwu who was drinking his tea.

"It's very possible that I've been thinking about this these past few days." Li Cangwu frowned, "Why would the Liu Family let it go after suffering such a humiliation? Nangong Family has lost two Sword Gods, they will not tolerate it, the two great families are more powerful than us, if they work together to kill us, the Li Family will be in trouble!"

Speaking of Li Yi, Li Yunfeng's face flashed with a proud light. War God Li Yi had fought alone against the Liu Family's Nine Star Armored Slaughtering Formation, killing four Sword Saints and one Sword God with one sword attack, scaring away six Sword God experts. With a son like that, what else could he want? Then, he continued, "Aren't we still going to have the hundred or so Swordsaint experts we just nurtured?"

"Yun Feng, although Yi Er's cultivation is shocking, he's still young! Besides, just him alone, how are we going to defend against the two great families? Our family's time is slower than the Liu family, and slower than the Nangong family. If we have enough time and with Yi Er's spirit medicine and his miraculous cultivation technique, there is no need to worry about being afraid of their Liu and Nan Gong Clans! " Li Cangwu said, "Right now, the most important thing for the family to do is to nurture their strength, and do not provoke trouble. If there is a fifty to sixty years' time, who would our Li Family be afraid of?!"

"Father, I understand. They don't dare to go out and attack my Li Family right now, so we need to strengthen our defenses in secret and retract the family's influence," Li Yunfeng said in a low voice. "I'll make a trip to the Xiang Family to see if I can join up with the Xiang Family."

"Alright, let's do it quickly. The Liu family and the Xiang Family have always fought in secret, and if the Li family is destroyed, the Xiang Family will not be able to protect them either." Li Cangwu analyzed.

"This subject, Nangong Chen, greets your majesty!"

"This subject, Liu Dingbang, pays his respects to the Emperor!"

When Nangong Chen and Liu Dingbang saw the emperor, they both slightly bowed and cupped their hands.

"Patriarch, there is no need to be so courteous!" Although the Han Kingdom Emperor was angry in her heart, she had no choice but to treat him with respect.

In the past, when the emperor took office, he first conferred the title of duke to the heads of the Nangong and Liu Families, giving them no respect at all. Although the two great clans did not have a powerful army, their strength was not something that the royal family could match up to.

The trio got to the point after exchanging a few pleasantries.

"Your majesty, I wonder if you have the idea of unifying the continent?" Liu Dingbang said to Zhuge Gan first.

Could it be that they, the Han Kingdom's Emperor, Zhuge Gan, had great ambitions? How could the continent be peaceful for hundreds of years, with two great clans controlling the situation, and two powerful Chu Kingdom s fighting each other. Although they had lofty ambitions, they just didn't have the time to bother with others.

"Patriarch Liu, what do you mean by that?" Zhuge Qian pretended to be confused.

"The continent has been peaceful for too long. People have already forgotten that the five empires originally were one family. Could it be that the emperor does not want to unify the continent? That is a glorious name that will spread through the ages!" Nangong Chen stared at Zhuge Gan as he said this seductively.

Zhuge Gan was shocked. What were they planning to do, these two old foxes?

"I may have some ambitions, but how can the Four Great Empires be as strong as us? Especially the Chu Kingdom, which is equivalent to our own country. How can we unify it?" Zhuge Qian said calmly.

The two Patriarchs looked at each other and nodded.

"If Your Majesty wishes to unite, then we, the Liu Clan and the Nangong Family will assist. I wonder if Your Majesty will be able to make a decision." Liu Dingbang said.

A sharp light flashed in the eyes of the Emperor, Zhuge Gan. He had been dreaming this for many years. He picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"I wonder what benefits will it bring to the two Patriarchs?" Zhuge Gan said.

"The goal of our two families is to pursue martial arts. We want to experience higher levels of martial arts through war." Nangong Chen smiled.

Hearing this, Zhuge Gan started to talk nonsense. The three-year-old kid didn't believe that starting a war was just for the sake of martial arts comprehension.

Zhuge Gan, who was deep in thought, suddenly heard a voice, "Qian'er, promise them. Ask them how much troops they are willing to contribute."

"I wonder how many people the two Patriarchs are willing to send out?" Zhuge Qian pretended to be moved.

The two Patriarchs smiled at each other. They knew Zhuge Gan was tempted.

"We will send out a thousand Mages of Rank 5 and above, as well as a thousand experts of Grade 5 and above, as well as five Sword Saint and one Sword God. I wonder if Your Majesty is satisfied." Nangong Chen said indifferently.

Zhuge Gan was shocked. How could they be so powerful? If the royal family had such a strong force, the whole continent would be wiped out, especially high-level mages. They were killing machines in war, mages could destroy an entire city with a forbidden spell. Zhuge Gan was moved, he only cooperated with them, it was the same as asking a tiger for its skin.

"Really?" Zhuge Qian pretended to be surprised, "If we have this army, we won't have to worry about not being able to accomplish anything big. It's just that what if the Li and Xiang Family interfere?"

"The emperor doesn't need to worry about this. The five great families have agreed not to interfere in the war. If they help in secret, our Liu and Nangong Families should deal with them."

"Alright, that's it."

The three of them laughed out loud, but they all had different thoughts in their minds.

After the two of them left, Zhuge Qian turned around and walked to the back of the palace. He came before an old man. Zhuge Qian stood respectfully at the side and said, "Royal ancestor, why should I agree to them? Although I have great ambitions, working with them is no less than working with a tiger. Besides, we don't know their purpose. "

The old man laughed, "They wanted to eradicate the Li family, but the sudden appearance of a genius in the Li family threatened the status of the two families, so they wanted to weaken or even eliminate the Li family through war. Let them fight for it! There's bound to be injury when two tigers fight each other. Isn't this our chance as well?

The Zhao Kingdom began a series of military activities, using the military exercises as an excuse to transfer troops to the Chu Han border.
