Mountain Patrol Military Officer-Chapter 320 - 275: Be an Adult’s Dog! (Seeking monthly ticket)
Chapter 320: Chapter 275: Be an Adult’s Dog! (Seeking monthly ticket)
Chen Yuan burst into laughter.
So, this member of Liu Family’s Heavenly Pass wanted to use his power to usurp the position of the Family Head.
Aligning with the Ninth Mountain was just a temporary measure, using the situation to ascend to power was the real goal—such a well-calculated move.
He stood up from his seat and beckoned towards the desk. Immediately, a scroll flew out from a pile stacked like a small mountain. The scroll unfolded and began to speak slowly.
"Liu Tiansheng, the current Family Head of the Liu Family, Heavenly Pass Taoist Soldier Realm."
"In the 36th year of Tianwu, the Yuan Family of West City, Jingguan was unwilling to provide their Xuanjin Fire Mine. That year, the Yuan Family Master and the head of the second branch lay exposed outside the city, thirty li away. In August of the same year, the eldest son of the main branch of Liu Family proposed marriage, taking the youngest daughter of the Yuan Family’s main branch as his bride. Her dowry was precisely the Yuan Family’s Xuanjin Fire Mine. A month later, the youngest daughter of the Yuan Family died due to an illness, hastily buried. However, investigations later found out that the woman had been tortured and raped, unable to bear living, and had hung herself."
"In the 38th year of Tianwu, in July, a massacre that wiped out a family occurred in West City..."
Chen Yuan pronounced each word distinctly, his expression calm, yet his voice hammered down, bending Liu Tianming, who was bending over to support himself on the armrests, lower and lower. His face constantly changing, he dared not even breathe loudly.
"Ha, these scrolls contain countless people’s blood and tears, summarized briefly in just a few words. It seems, big brother, your hands are stained with much blood."
Chen Yuan sneered, reaching out with his other hand towards the desk, grabbing a scroll and throwing it in front of the Liu Family’s Heavenly Pass.
"This is yours, why don’t you take a look."
This member of the Second Branch of the Liu Family caught it hastily, then held it as if it burned his hands. He lifted his head, his complexion full of terror, and his pupils filled with fear.
"Slap!"
He immediately fell to the ground with a slap.
"My lord, please calm your anger, I am terrified, I..."
This member of the Second Branch attempted to say something but found himself at a loss for words, knowing that more talk was useless. This Nine Colonel had clearly grasped all their secrets; talking more would only lead to more mistakes. Since the lord hadn’t exposed his disgrace yet, there was still room for maneuver.
Immediately, he slammed his forehead to the ground, forcefully begging,
"Please give me a chance!"
Seeing his state, Chen Yuan slightly lifted his eyelid. "Aren’t you interested in becoming the Liu Family’s Head?"
As he spoke, Chen Yuan raised a hand and reached towards the outside of the hall. Instantly, a giant golden hand materialized, piercing the clouds and thundering, shaking the mountainside before pausing at a mid-mountain courtyard.
Soon after, suction emanated from the giant hand, and the entire courtyard shook violently as if being rolled by an earth dragon. The people imprisoned inside felt the world shaking around them, causing a wave of panic.
In one of the rooms, the protective spell on the door broke with a ’puff,’ the door opened with a ’snap,’ and a figure was yanked out from the room and flew towards the giant hand.
People in the courtyard witnessed this scene through the windows, their eyebrows and eyes jumping in alarm.
Then, the golden hand curled like a stone rolling down a hillside, grasping firmly and swiftly retracting, shooting up to the top and shrinking in the wind.
A few breaths later,
a fierce wind surged into the Heavenly Patrol Hall, followed by a dull ’banging’ sound and a painful moan.
A figure, bound by golden ropes, writhed and was thrown onto the ground.
The figure wore a python robe with a blue embroidery over a white base, and a jade crown that had fallen askew, rolling off to one side, disheveled, his facial features fierce like a tiger or a wolf.
This was Liu Tiansheng, the current head of West City Liu Family.
He fell to the ground in disarray, with hair hanging in front of his eyes. Peering through the gaps in his hair, he caught sight of his kneeling younger brother, his eyes flickering rapidly.
Since his younger brother had also come here, it seemed he was pleading with the Nine Colonels to release him.
Hmph!
Thinking of his status as head of a prestigious family, being treated like a prisoner, Liu Tiansheng was filled with seething anger.
Even in former years, when the Demon Suppression General was stationed in Jingguan City, they had never treated their noble family like this. Recalling the anxiety of being imprisoned below, his eyes fierce like a wolf’s, he then concealed it well.
In the current situation, he had to show weakness first. After getting out, as long as the green hills last, there will always be wood to burn – the move by this Nine Colonels had definitely displeased the major noble families of Jingguan City. These Family Sects have rooted and grown here for many years, and surely have some hidden cards; they would certainly have a chance to confront this Nine Colonel in the future.
"My younger brother, please speak on my behalf to the Nine Colonel, our Liu Family has always been good to others and has never disrespected the lord."
Then, he managed to control the emotions in his eyes, raised his head, and saw Chen Yuan standing in front of him. Their eyes met; his pair was light golden. His body shivered, struggling to kneel properly, his eyes showing respect, "Please, my lord, have mercy!"
Chen Yuan watched his "performance" quietly. The annoyance in his eyes, no matter how subtle, was clearly visible to him.
Then he glanced towards the Liu Family’s Second Branch kneeling on the other side, slightly lifting his eyelid, his voice indifferent, "Don’t you want to be the Liu Family Head?"
"Kill him!"
"Everything you wish for, will come true, and I shall assist you!"
Chen Yuan’s words, like those of a demon, stirred the heart, echoing in the ears of the Liu Family’s Second Branch.
Liu Tianming’s body trembled, and then he slowly raised his head and turned his face to meet his elder brother, Liu Tiansheng’s eyes, which suddenly widened.
Hearing Chen Yuan’s words, Liu Tiansheng suddenly realized that his younger brother had come not to plead for him but to replace him.
Damn it!
His wolf-like eyes became excessively furious and enraged, his pupils dilating as he frantically struggled against the golden ropes binding him, and he roared furiously at Liu Tianming.
