66: Chapter 66 Suppressing the Rebels (Part 1)

The October weather was still very hot.

A gentle, warm breeze added to the heat.

Time quickly arrived at night.

After the discussions during the day, Pei Tianlin divided the five Wang Family teams into two parts.

Among them, three teams led by Wang Gang would attack the Wang Family rebels within the Liu Mansion.

And he himself would lead the other two Wang Family teams, along with a team of Pei Family guards, to attack Mufeng Manor.

As time passed, it drew closer to the Hour of the Rat.

Pei Tianlin and Wang Gang also began their final pre-battle preparations.

Because the enemies were former clansmen, Wang Gang was also worried that the members in his team might find it hard to deliver a lethal blow.

Therefore, before the battle, he deemed it necessary to give another reminder.

Within the Wang Family grounds, all combat members lit torches, their expressions serious as they gazed at the figure in the very front.

Wang Gang gave a light cough, and his heavy voice resounded across the martial arts arena, "Tonight, we set out to eliminate the rebels; this is a life-or-death struggle. If we fail, the Wang Family will cease to exist. Everyone must remember, traitors are not worthy of forgiveness, and you must never go soft at critical moments. Has everyone remembered this!"

"Remembered!" Following Wang Tianqi's lead, a sound like a mountain-toppling tsunami erupted within the martial arts arena.

After quite a while, the sound finally subsided.

Looking at the high-spirited team members, Wang Gang was also full of confidence.

The next moment, his gaze locked onto Wang Tianqi: "Wang Tianqi."

Wang Tianqi knelt on one knee and said: "Present."

Wang Gang: "You are to lead the First Team and Second Team and head to the Pei Family immediately. Coordinate with Elder Tianlin to take down Mufeng Manor."

"This subordinate obeys." Wang Tianqi slightly cupped his hands, standing perfectly straight, a soaring fighting spirit bursting forth proudly.

Back when Wang Yang succeeded as the Family Head, Wang Tianqi was merely a peripheral Elder.

Now that he had gained Wang Gang's deep trust, his status was far different from before.

Thus, he was even more aware of the significance of this battle.

Whether it was to repay Wang Gang's appreciation, for the sake of the Wang Family, or for himself, this battle must be won.

Wang Tianqi looked at the members of the First and Second Teams; although these people were not a battle-hardened army, none of them were novices who had just stepped out into the world.

"Set out."

With Wang Tianqi's order, the nearly one hundred members of the Second Team simultaneously readied their weapons.

Wang Tianqi walked at the very front, with the crowd following closely behind.

Under their rhythmic steps, the floor emitted a heavy sound, as if unable to bear the pressure of the crowd.

Meanwhile, over at the Pei Family, everyone was also fully prepared and ready to go.

Pei Tianlin, clad in black armor, stood proudly at the very front of the team, while behind him was the guard unit commanded by Pei Kong.

They were just waiting for the Wang Family's team to arrive so the two groups could merge together.

Pei Tianlin did not have to wait too long before the two teams led by Wang Tianqi arrived in a hurry.

"Elder Tianlin, sorry to have kept you waiting." Upon seeing Pei Tianlin, Wang Tianqi immediately flattered him.

"Elder Wang, you have arrived at the right time. Take your men and join the ranks quickly." Pei Tianlin glanced at him and said indifferently.

"Yes." Wang Tianqi acknowledged, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Pei Kong, who was to the side.

However, he did not go up to greet him.

Pei Kong's temperament was very cold; if he tried to get close, it would likely just lead to awkwardness.

The two groups of people merged together, quickly forming a torrent.

Although the two sides had not practiced together, they did not appear unfamiliar; on the contrary, they were orderly and disciplined.

"Everyone, set out." Pei Tianlin scanned the neatly aligned crowd, feeling very satisfied in his heart.

He did not dawdle and immediately gave the order.

More than a hundred people, holding torches, jogged toward Mufeng Manor; the entire team looked quite imposing.

Since the time was approaching late night, most households in the city were asleep.

Even though the sound of the marching was not insignificant, it did not attract the attention of others.

Just like that, the group jogged for nearly a quarter of an hour.

It was not until they reached the end of a small alley that Pei Tianlin signaled everyone to stop.

A few hundred meters ahead was Mufeng Manor.

Since it was a surprise attack, it naturally required catching the enemy off guard.

Wang Tianqi and Pei Kong walked at the very front.

Just as the two reached the protective wall less than ten meters from the main entrance of Mufeng Manor, they both drew the long blades at their waists.

The next second, the two burst out with astonishing speed, arriving at the side of the guards at the main entrance in a few leaps.

"Who goes there!" At this moment, the guards also noticed the two people rushing over and exclaimed.

However, what greeted them were two brilliant flashes of blade light.

The long blades cut through the sky, leaving behind two perfect arcs.

Before the two guards could react, they were already decapitated.

Seeing the guards killed, the three teams of over a hundred people also rushed up.

The sounds made by the two before their deaths were not small, added to the stomping sounds of over a hundred people.

Inside the manor, the guards responsible for the night watch naturally heard the noise.

They rushed out holding long blades, but when they opened the gate, they saw a dense crowd of over a hundred people and immediately screamed in alarm, "Someone is attacking the manor."

However, just as the person who spoke finished, a bloodstain appeared on his neck.

Fresh blood spurted out!

The person who spoke fell to the ground accordingly.

The other guards who rushed out also knew they couldn't escape at all.

They held their long blades, their faces twisted with ferocity as they charged toward Pei Kong.

They were merely Foundation Martial Artists; how could they possibly injure Pei Kong, who had reached Divine Power Perfection?

The outcome was obvious.

Three flashes of blade light streaked by, and the three fell to the ground.

At this moment, the hundred-plus people also broke through the gate and entered the manor.

The group of rebellious Wang Family Elders who were originally in deep sleep were all awakened.

"What is going on!" They had just put on their coats and were about to walk out of the courtyard when they saw the scene outside with flames shooting into the sky.

Immediately following, several guards rushed into the courtyard where the Elders were located.

Several of them panted heavily and said, "Elders, it's bad! The allied army formed by the Pei Family and the Wang Family has attacked."

"What!" The Elders' expressions all changed simultaneously.

They didn't even bother to finish adjusting the clothes they hadn't yet tidied up.

"How could this be, how could it be like this!"

"Wasn't the land deed offered to the Li Family Head? Didn't the Li Family Head say that Magistrate Tang would protect us?" one Elder exclaimed.

"Why does the Pei Family still dare to make a move against us."

This Elder simply could not understand.

But the purple-haired Elder standing beside him had already reacted.

He roared, "Now is not the time to worry about that; immediately light the signal flare and send the news out of here. This is the Li Family's territory; as long as we hold on for a little longer, the Li Family will be able to arrive immediately."

"I'll light it." This Elder immediately rushed into the room and lit a signal flare.

The next moment, a beautiful streak of fire shot up into the sky, and an eye-catching radiance erupted over Mufeng Manor.

"Wake everyone up immediately, kill them for me!" the purple-haired Elder roared.
