Betraying the Dongfang Family!_1 Chapter 172
The attack targeted the middle generation and the new generation of the Eastern World Family, who are the present and future of the family.
The destruction of their future in just an instant, filled Dongfang Yunkong with outrage.
Dongfang Yunkong had a generally refined and elegant demeanor, but there was always a hint of dark intent in his eyes.
Upon receiving the news, his usual decorum and etiquette were replaced by a frightening ferocity and violence.
Seeing Dongfang Yunkong somewhat losing control, an old man dressed in attire from the Republic era frowned at him, saying, “Yunkong, don’t lose your composure, calm down.
Only by calming down can you make a targeted judgment and plan…”
“Dad, how can I calm down?” Dongfang Yunkong said furiously.
The old man in the long robe was Dongfang Wudi, highly respected in the Ancient Martial Arts World, and known by the title, “Dongfang the Invincible”.
He was not only the strongest Ancient Martial Artist in the Dongfang family but also among the Eight Great Ancient Martial Arts Families.
His cultivation level was in the late stage of Innate, and even at the age of 96, he appeared no older than his son Dongfang Yunkong.
On the contrary, he appeared flushed, his breath long and steady, and his body seemed as fit as a younger man’s.
“The more you are unable to calm down, the more you must force yourself to,” Dongfang Wudi calmly advised Dongfang Yunkong.
Seeing his father’s indifferent stance, Dongfang Yunkong was forced to suppress his anger and attempt to maintain his composure.
Dongfang Wudi turned to the other two and said without looking at his son: “Yunxuan, Yunping, what do you think?”
Dongfang Yunxuan, Dongfang Wudi’s eldest son, was blind and now 61 years old.
His cultivation had reached the peak of the Inner Qi Seventh Level, mastering an extremely fearsome hidden weapon skill.
Among the Eight Great Families, his strength ranked second beneath the Innate Realm.
Dongfang Yunping, Dongfang Wudi’s third son, had no exceptional talent for ancient martial arts.
However, he had extraordinary wisdom and was a rising star in China’s political circle at 48.
If the Ancient Martial Arts Families didn’t have the rule that only an Ancient Martial Artist could become the family head, the current head of the Eastern World Family wouldn’t have been Dongfang Yunkong.
Dongfang Yunxuan remained calm and didn’t speak.
Dongfang Yunping, however, said, “Judging from the person’s actions, he only attacked the second and third generations of our family.
This suggests he may have been wary of the first generation’s Innate powerhouses.
He also left the fourth generation alone, probably because they are all just children, so this person did not act against them.
This leads me to suspect that this person is likely an enemy of our family.
However, his strength does not seem to reach the Innate realm, and it even seems that he has some degree of conscience.”
“Go on!” Dongfang Wudi said indifferently.
Dongfang Yunping extended his right hand, habitually stroking his nose, and said, “From the information we collected, the first ones in our family to suffer were the collateral relatives on our uncle Wukui’s side.
They were the dumbest and received the deepest poisoning.
A few days ago, the most outstanding member of their third generation, Dongfang Changhe, was crippled by someone who sealed his Dantian.
After that, it seems that Dongfang Yuntian exerted some pressure on your second brother and commanded several affiliated families to take revenge.
Therefore, I suspect that these incidents are related to the person who crippled Dongfang Changhe.”
“What?” Dongfang Yunkong suddenly stood up and said, “Third Brother, that’s impossible.
As far as I know, the person who crippled Dongfang Changhe was just an 18-year-old boy.
Could he really attack our Eastern World Family?
That’s absolutely impossible…”
An 18-year-old boy?
Dongfang Wudi, who had been sitting to one side calmly, suddenly opened his eyes wide, his mouth twitching.
He knew that Dongfang Changhe had promising cultivation talent.
Currently, he was at the peak of Inner Qi Stage 4.
Even compared to the current family head, Dongfang Yunkong, he was only one level behind.
Now Dongfang Changhe had been crippled by an eighteen-year-old boy, and he didn’t even know about it?
Dongfang Wudi suddenly felt that his second son’s performance as the family head was extremely disappointing.
“It’s not possible for him, but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible for the people behind him!” Dongfang Wudi interjected, glaring dissatisfiedly at Dongfang Yunkong.
After glaring at Dongfang Yunkong, Dongfang Yunping suddenly laughed and said, “Hehe, in fact, there’s another thing you seem to have overlooked.”
“What is it?” Dongfang Yunkong frowned.
From a young age, he had always hated his third brother’s smug demeanor.
He considered it mockery and profound jealousy.
“Early this morning, from the collateral line, Dongfang Wukui sent his son Dongfang Yuntian and Dongfang Changhe to Yan City in Xiangnan Province, seemingly to beg for forgiveness from a young punk named Lv Zhong.
At the same time, Dongfang Wukui seems to be going to invite a mysterious expert to Yan City to save the day…” Dongfang Yunping subtly revealed.
“What?” Dongfang Yunkong was shocked, his eyes wide with disbelief.
At the same time, Dongfang Wudi, who had been sitting quietly to one side, suddenly stood up with a change of expression.
He said to Dongfang Yunkong, “Pay full attention to the information from Yan City.
Also, call Dongfang Linglong and see if she knows anything about Lv Zhong…”
“This…” Dongfang Yunkong had a complicated look on his face, but he didn’t dare to defy his father’s will.
He began to instruct his subordinates to collect information from Yan City and proceeded to dial Dongfang Linglong’s number.
But to Dongfang Yunkong’s surprise, Dongfang Linglong didn’t answer the phone.
“Second brother, you sure are a failure as a dad!” Dongfang Yunping looked at Dongfang Yunkong deeply, a complex look flashing across his face.
Upon hearing Dongfang Yunping’s words, Dongfang Yunkong was incensed.
If not for the presence of their father and elder brother, he would have definitely turned against Dongfang Yunping, teaching him a harsh lesson he wouldn’t forget to let him know that his elder brother’s authority can’t be violated.
In his heart, however, he was also infuriated with Dongfang Linglong.
Having a daughter who had shown distaste for him, he felt not a shred of affection for Dongfang Linglong and had remained indifferent towards her over the years.
He had even thought of using her for political marriages within the family.
If not for his fear of Zheng Shuyu, who had control over a massive business empire and had a terrifying amount of wealth, he would have used Dongfang Linglong as a tool to curry favor with others a long time ago.
Thinking about it, Dongfang Yunkong felt a strong surge of anger and hatred towards Zheng Shuyu.
However, the wealth controlled by Zheng Shuyu does not belong to the Dongfang Clan, and she also holds many of Dongfang Yunkong’s weaknesses.
Temporary as it may be, Dongfang Yunkong currently has no way of controlling Zheng Shuyu.
Dongfang Linglong was still not answering the phone, and at this point, Dongfang Wudi suggested that the silent Dongfang Yunxuan should call Dongfang Linglong.
In the entire Dongfang family, the ones who had the best relationship with Zheng Shuyu and Dongfang Linglong were the blind Dongfang Yunxuan.
Dongfang Yunxuan hesitated for a long while before finally dialing Dongfang Linglong’s number, “Linglong, it’s me.”
“Uncle, if you’re going to ask about Lv Zhong, all I can say is I don’t know.
If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up…” As soon as the call connected, Dongfang Linglong’s cold voice came through.
She wasn’t stupid, she knew exactly why the people from the Dongfang Clan had asked Dongfang Yunxuan to call her.
Dongfang Yunxuan took a deep breath and said, “Linglong, just a while ago, more than two-thirds of the ancient martial artists in our family have been attacked by a mysterious person.
These people have either become imbeciles or have been poisoned with a slow-acting, highly toxic poison.
Did you know that?”
What?
Lv Zhong said he was going to retaliate, and his first target turned out to be Tianjing?
How long has it been?
Suddenly, Dongfang Linglong was shocked by this news, and it was followed by uncontrollable elation.
“Haha, Uncle, thank you very much for telling me such delightful news.
Haha, this is called retribution…” Dongfang Linglong’s laughter bordered on hysteria, her emotions running high with excitement.
At this moment, she was ecstatic!
Since she could remember, she had never been proud of being a member of the Dongfang Clan, but was rather ashamed.
Dongfang Linglong knew too many of the shocking secrets of the Dongfang Clan and she could still remember the humiliation and indignities that her mother, Zheng Shuyu, had suffered at the Dongfang Family.
If not for the several pieces of blackmail that her mother and she had accidentally gotten their hands on ten years ago, and hid these frightening secrets in a mysterious place, Dongfang Linglong wouldn’t have believed that she could make it safely to the age of twenty-four.
She and her mother may very well have ended up with tragic lives like Dongfang Baoyu’s real mother.
That’s right, Dongfang Baoyu was not Dongfang Linglong’s biological brother!
Instead, he was the illegitimate son of another woman Dongfang Yunkong was involved with.
That woman, however, was cruelly persecuted to death by Dongfang Yunkong.
As a result, Dongfang Baoyu was then adopted by Zheng Shuyu.
Besides Dongfang Yunkong, Zheng Shuyu, Dongfang Linglong and Dongfang Yunxuan, no one else knew about this.
“Linglong, you’re also a member of the Dongfang Family.
You shouldn’t…” Before Dongfang Yunxuan could finish, Dongfang Linglong’s voice had already turned ice cold, “Uncle, I’m only calling you ‘uncle’ this last time from today onwards, my name is not Dongfang Linglong anymore, but Zheng Linglong.
So, stop saying these things…
Everyone present was a practitioner, and so they all heard Dongfang Linglong’s words clearly with their sharp hearing.
Many faces changed color at her words.
But the person who was truly mad was Dongfang Yunkong.
Enraged, he snatched the phone from Dongfang Yunxuan’s hand and yelled, “You little wretch, get your ass back home ASAP.
I’m going to beat you to death…”
But Zheng Linglong had no intention of wasting any more words with him and simply hung up.
(From this moment onwards, Dongfang Linglong changed her name to Zheng Linglong.
The situation between Zheng Shuyu and Dongfang Yunkong will be explained in the following chapters.) (To be continued.
