Chapter 129 Battle Invitation
"Master Lü is a real character!"
Everyone was in an uproar when they saw Lü Ci suddenly make his move!
No one expected that Lü Ci would actually dare to do such a thing in the Tang Clan's stronghold. Xia Liuqing laughed heartily at Lü Liang.
"Well, little Lü Liang? See? Now you know why your great-grandfather was called a mad dog! Do you still want to cause trouble for your great-grandfather?"
Although Xia Liuqing had no conflict with the Tang Clan, for some reason he felt very happy to see the Tang Clan members being tricked by Lü Ci.
Lu Liang wiped the cold sweat from his brow. "I knew my great-grandfather was crazy, but I never imagined he was this crazy!"
Seeing Lü Ci's actions, Tang Bingwen smiled for the first time in a long time.
"Heh...heh heh...Young Master Lu, judging from your brothers' reactions, you didn't do this on a whim, did you? You had already planned to go up the mountain and snatch them if things got really bad, didn't you?"
Seeing that his plan had been exposed, Lü Ci simply stopped hiding it.
"That's right! We brothers planned this all along! Even if it means causing a major upheaval, we'll still need the Tang Clan's help today!"
Even if Lü Liang couldn't achieve a full cooperation with the Tang Clan, he still needed to ask a Tang Clan disciple to go back and help him find Bihe Ren.
The most suitable target is naturally the survivors of the Battle of Mianshan. They are not only skilled, but they are also on the kill list of the Bihe Ren!
As long as we can bring one back, why worry about not being able to wait for Bihe Ren?
"To cause trouble? Young Master Lü, you're exaggerating. How could we possibly cause trouble? You outsiders always misunderstand the Tang Clan, as if the Tang Clan is some kind of hellish palace, and we're all bloodthirsty people. Actually, we're just businessmen."
Tang Bingwen laughed as he pointed at Lü Ci and said, "I'll settle accounts with Young Master Lü. Either you all release Xu Xin and go down the mountain, or I'll pretend nothing happened today."
"Either you kill him, young master, and everyone can still go down the mountain. But from now on, every single member of your Lü family... should try not to make enemies outside, because our Tang Clan will definitely do business with the Lü family, and at a very low price."
Looking at Tang Bingwen's ferocious smile, Lü Xi realized that a forceful approach was impossible.
"Sect Leader! I'm begging you! We all know the rules of the Tang Clan, and my father knows them too! As the clan leader, he forbids us from going out to seek revenge! He said he admires your actions, but those damned bastards from the He Ren clan, so I'm begging you!"
But why did I still come?! Do you know why my dad couldn't stop us?! He couldn't! He couldn't get out of bed! My brother's head was right there, and my dad fainted on the spot. When he woke up, he was vomiting blood!
As a son and a younger brother, how could I do nothing! So we brothers have decided! We must ask your sect to help us take revenge, no matter what means we have to!
Lu Ci's words made Tang Bingwen sigh. He knew why Lu Ci insisted, but he couldn't break the rules of the Li Tang Clan.
"Young Master Lü, I understand what you're saying, but I really can't let you take Xu Xin away. However, it's not your fault, it's all because Xu Xin is incompetent, which gave others an opportunity to take advantage of him."
Tang Bingwen then looked at Xu Xin with a gloomy expression: "Xu Xin, you idiot, what are we going to do now?"
Xu Xin, looking utterly hopeless, said, "Yeah, it's so embarrassing. Being controlled by others right at my own doorstep, what's the point of living? Young Master Lü, just kill me."
"Brother Xu, I mean you no harm, I just want to..."
Xu Xin interrupted Lü Ci directly, "No! I really don't want to live anymore, or should I force you?"
After saying that, Xu Xin activated the poisonous miasma in his body, and a stream of poisonous energy traveled up Lü Ci's arm.
Lu Ci immediately grabbed Xu Xin by the neck, trying to make him stop, but Xu Xin showed no sign of stopping.
"Let go! Kill me, or die!"
Faced with Xu Xin's threat, Lü Ci ultimately couldn't actually make a move and could only collapse to the ground from the poison. Even in the last second before losing consciousness, Lü Ci still gripped Xu Xin's ankle tightly with his hand.
Those watching the video weren't worried about the unconscious Lü Ci, because they all knew that Lü Ci was still alive and well, and was one of the Ten Elders of the Extraordinary World, so he definitely hadn't died in the Tang Sect.
Sure enough, in the next scene, Lü Ci slowly woke up in bed.
Xu Xin had already cured Lü Ci of the poison.
Upon seeing that Lü Ci had regained consciousness, Xu Xin went up to him, took his hand, and wanted to have a good chat with him.
"Young Master! You're finally awake! Let's have a good chat!"
Lu Ci's body trembled as he said, "Brother Xu, I'm so sorry, I... I need to use the restroom first..."
At this moment, Lü Ci felt an unusual churning in her abdomen, and Xu Xin, knowing why, was not about to let Lü Ci go.
"Wait! Didn't you want to get closer? Come on!"
Unable to hold back any longer, Lü Ci shoved Xu Xin aside and ran wildly outside.
"Brother Xu, I'm sorry! The outhouse! Where's the outhouse?!"
Xu Xin stuck his tongue out at Lü Ci's retreating figure, "Pah! If I can't poison you to death, I'll at least kill you with my medicine! Let me show you the power of the croton in my medicine!"
Xu Xin, seizing the opportunity, was not about to let Lü Ci off so easily; he naturally wanted to avenge the time he was captured by Lü Ci in front of the mountain gate.
After spending half a day running around in the latrine, Lü Ci finally recovered and sat down with his brothers to discuss how to get Tang Bingwen to agree to help them take revenge.
One of the older members of the Lü family nodded at Lü Ci.
"Are you out of your mind? If Master Tang hadn't agreed to our request, do you think we'd still be on the mountain right now? Do you really think we have to force Master Tang to agree to our request?"
Only then did Lü Ci realize that the Tang Clan had agreed to their request!
Just then, Xu Xin came to him and conveyed Tang Bingwen's invitation.
When Lü Ci followed along, he learned that Tang Bingwen had invited him to go to the mountain gate to greet a guest.
"Sect Leader, what kind of guest requires your personal welcome at the mountain gate?"
“You are guests, guests who need to be welcomed into the mountains, but some guests can only be met here and cannot enter the mountains.”
When Lü Ci saw the figures appearing in the distance, he realized what Tang Bingwen meant. The people who came to pay their respects were actually from Biheren!
He handed a letter to Tang Bingwen, who opened it to find it was a challenge.
"You must be Sect Leader Tang, right? We, the Bihe Mountain Sect, have clashed with your sect many times. We can't bear to see both sides suffer so many casualties, but our conflict must be resolved."
"Sect Leader, what do you think of this arrangement? We'll each send ten people to fight one-on-one. The one who eliminates the other's ten and has survivors wins. If we lose, we will never again be enemies of the Tang Sect, nor will we ever set foot on your land again."
Tang Bingwen calmly countered, "What if we lose?"
Across from them, Bi Heren pointed a finger at Tang Bingwen.
"There's only one thing that can end our conflict: Tang Sect Leader's head."
