Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God-Chapter 1393: Why

Li Nianqing now looked at Mo Fan.

"Tell us about your discoveries."

Mo Fan and Lu Fei had entered the Xu Family first, at that time the Blood Sacrifice Array hadn't been activated, Li Nianqing now only hoped they had obtained some useful information.

Mo Fan nodded and began to recount the process of entering the Xu Family with Lu Fei.

"After Lu Fei and I entered the Xu Family, there was some unusual activity. We captured someone to inquire, and it seemed someone forcefully intruded into the Xu Family, alarming their security."

"I estimate that the person who intruded into the Xu Family is none other than the Ghost King Sect we've been tracking, but we couldn't obtain much more information."

"Later, Lu Fei and I proceeded deeper towards the Xu Family's main residence. To avoid alerting anyone, I directly used the Earth Listening Technique, and did hear some useful information from the main residence."

"Among those from the Ghost King Sect who went to the Xu Family, one is actually from the Xu Family, and he is the youngest son of the current Family Head, Xu Chunqiu."

"Xu Chunqiu's youngest son, could it be that genius Xu Qingfeng from the Xu Family?" Li Nianqing immediately mentioned the name, clearly having heard of Xu Qingfeng.

"Yes, it's him."

Mo Fan nodded his head. Li Feng turned to look at Li Nianqing, who immediately said, "The Family Head of the Xu Family has six sons and six daughters: the eldest Xu Wanli, the second Xu Qiansui, the third Xu Pengyuan, the fourth Xu Fangda, the fifth Xu Enci, and the sixth Xu Qingfeng."

"But among these six sons, Xu Wanli and Xu Pengyuan are the ones in power; the second died young, the fourth went abroad, the fifth had a car accident. As for the sixth, Xu Qingfeng showed outstanding talent after coming of age, and was esteemed as the Xu Family's Qilin Child by Xu Chunqiu, even attracting the attention of numerous elite families at his coming-of-age ceremony."

"Xu Qingfeng thus entered the public eye, continuously backed by Xu Chunqiu, who even openly stated that he hoped Xu Qingfeng could take over the position of Family Head after his own demise."

"During those years, Xu Qingfeng was the brightest, overshadowing his two elder brothers."

Li Feng listened, feeling that the plot was somewhat familiar.

"You're not going to say that these two brothers, out of jealousy of their younger brother, secretly assassinated him, are you?"

"Something like that; Xu Qingfeng and his family encountered a tragic car accident, and Xu Qingfeng escaped harm, but his wife in the car died horribly, reportedly pregnant at the time. It could be said that it was a two-life tragedy."

"After this, the Xu Family's Qilin child completely disappeared from the public scene, and Xu Chunqiu fell gravely ill, bedridden, with Xu Wanli and Xu Pengju taking over most of the family's power."

Li Nianqing said.

Mo Fan listened to Li Nianqing and shook his head faintly.

"Xu Chunqiu's paralysis is feigned; from some conversations I overheard, it was hinted that the tragedy back then wasn't caused by Xu Wanli and Xu Pengju, or it was orchestrated from behind the scenes by Xu Chunqiu."

"Why, though?"

Jiang Mengmeng widened her eyes: "Isn't Xu Chunqiu the one who supported his son, why secretly assassinate him, was the son disobedient?"

"More or less, Xu Chunqiu wanted to elevate Xu Qingfeng, but Xu Qingfeng had no attachment to the position of Family Head, indulging in love affairs, which greatly angered Xu Chunqiu, prompting the assassination."

"Xu Qingfeng's disappearance in recent years is just him being placed in the Xu Family's Dark Hall for hellish training, yet he has harbored hatred toward the family for his wife and child's death, especially knowing his father was the mastermind."

"So Xu Qingfeng fell into the Demon Path; he probably knew he couldn't eliminate the Xu Family or his father on his own."

"In fact, Xu Qingfeng initially used the Dark Hall to control Xu Wanli and Xu Pengyuan, but once Xu Chunqiu made an appearance, the Dark Hall turned against him, killing all of Xu Qingfeng's loyalists."

"Xu Chunqiu had been secretly manipulating everything, controlling his sons' lives from the shadows."

Mo Fan sighed at this, as the Xu Family's father and son had perfectly demonstrated the intricate and ruthless infighting within wealthy families; even close relatives calculated each other's moves, steps filled with threats.

"And then, and then."

Jiang Mengmeng was curious; she loved to hear such drama from wealthy families.

Mo Fan continued: "Xu Chunqiu was shrewd and resourceful, but Xu Qingfeng, worthy of being the Xu Family's Qilin, knew he couldn't outwit his father on his own, so he sought outside help."

"You mean the Ghost King Sect?"

Mo Fan shook his head: "No, it was the Xu Family's tributes Qianshou and Wan Hai."

"Them?"

"Yes, I'm not clear on the specifics, but Qianshou did appear; although she didn't act, at the final moment, Xu Qingfeng used countless blood to activate this Blood Sacrifice Array."

"And this array couldn't be established overnight. Covering such a large area, it's not something ordinary people could achieve."

"It was Wan Hai."

"He is a genius of the Tao Sect, known for his vast knowledge, and it's reputed to be an inheritance spanning three thousand years, with Kunlun harboring all the world's books."

"Setting up such an array couldn't be done by anyone else, and only he could invisibly inscribe such an array across the entire Xu Family's mountain."

Li Nianqing took a deep breath and said.

The truth seemed to be gradually emerging.

"So, what happened at the Xu Family now is a scene of revenge, quite a big commotion."

Beicheng Xue frowned.

Xu Qingfeng avenged his deceased wife and child, extinguishing his own family and killing his father, all for revenge.

While it's understandable, what were Qianshou and Wan Hai, two long-established figures, after?

Li Nianqing also considered this aspect.

"Qianshou and Wan Hai are both self-interested. Xu Qingfeng's motive to destroy the Xu Family for revenge might be explained, but what's in it for Qianshou and Wan Hai?"

"They have served as tributes in the Xu Family for thirty years; even if they are unfeeling and indifferent, they wouldn't act on behalf of Xu Qingfeng like this."

"Mass refining of Zombie Puppets is forbidden, and it effectively announces to the Ancient Martial World that they are still alive. In the past, Wan Hai and Qianshou were hunted by the Tao Sect, forcing them into years of desperate flight."

"If they resurface, Kunlun won't let it rest; they will surely mobilize disciples to hunt these two down again."

"As for power in the Xu Family, with the Xu Family wiped out, power becomes meaningless. Why would they do such a thing?"

The people present exchanged glances, feeling it didn't quite add up.

"No one would act against their own interests; people like Qianshou and Wan Hai, who could betray their Sect, certainly wouldn't do something so extreme with no benefit, extinguishing the Xu Family which served as their protective shield."

Li Feng didn't believe in the existence of Saints in this world; of course, Saints do exist, but they were certainly not these two.

"As for the answer, I think it lies on the mountain top; after all, going through such great efforts just to wipe out the Xu Family, Qianshou, with her poison expertise, could easily destroy the Xu Family without such fanfare."

Li Nianqing nodded in agreement.

"Li Feng is right; the answer lies on the mountain top, but this journey is fraught with peril and may lead to death."
