Chapter 155 The End of the Wang Family
Chu Yunfan's words were like a bombshell, hitting Li Mingtian right on the head and leaving him momentarily stunned.
He stared blankly at Chu Yunfan for a moment before finally asking:
"What do you mean by that, Brother Xuanyuan?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan replied:
"Xiang Fei is my woman."
I helped her wipe out the Wang family, it's that simple!
Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's answer, Li Mingtian instinctively became somewhat skeptical and pressed for further information:
"The Wang family has more than 100,000 members, including cultivators, as well as the elderly, women and children."
Once it is destroyed, countless innocent lives will perish.
Judging from the appearances of the Xuanyuan brothers, Li believed them to be kind-hearted people who would not choose to sacrifice so many innocent lives for a woman!
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunfan looked at the doubt in Li Mingtian's eyes, but his heart remained unmoved, and he did not offer any explanation.
He had long known that Li Mingtian wouldn't believe his excuse; after all, Li Mingtian was undoubtedly intelligent enough to have reached the position of city lord.
However, Chu Yunfan didn't care whether Li Mingtian believed it or not.
What he needed to do was give Li Mingtian an excuse.
Then we'll see whether Li Mingtian chooses to believe him or chooses to oppose him.
Looking at the silent Chu Yunfan, Li Mingtian slowly began to understand what Chu Yunfan meant.
After a long pause, he spoke again:
"Is the Wang family truly beyond saving?"
Upon hearing Li Mingtian's question, Chu Yunfan knew that it was time for the other party to make a final decision.
So he answered Li Mingtian with one sentence.
"If I said that I killed all those people in the Wang family before, would the city lord believe me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Mingtian's eyes widened, staring intently at Chu Yunfan, his shock beyond words.
In fact, through his investigation, he discovered that when the Wang family members had an accident in the Lianshan Mountains, the Martial Venerable Realm experts from the Mu, Jiang, and Tian families all stayed in Lianshan City and did not go out.
Moreover, during this period, no unfamiliar powerful figures above the Martial Venerable Realm have visited the Shanlianshan Mountain Range.
Unfortunately, so many Martial Venerable Realm experts from the Wang family died in the Shanlianshan Mountain Range.
This even included Wang Qifeng, the eldest elder of the Wang family and a powerful expert at the peak of the Martial Venerable Realm.
Therefore, he couldn't understand who or what force had made those astonishing moves.
Only when Chu Yunfan uttered those words did he finally realize what was going on.
With Chu Yunfan's monstrous talent, even if Chu Yunfan's cultivation was only at the early stage of the Martial Sect Realm...
He also believed Chu Yunfan's words without question.
To put it another way, even if a Martial Venerable Realm expert or a Martial King Realm expert died at Chu Yunfan's hands, he would only be a little more surprised.
Genius cannot be judged by common sense.
And the extraordinary are beyond description.
After a long while, Li Mingtian finally calmed down from his shock.
However, he did not press Chu Yunfan further about why he insisted on dealing with the Wang family.
Because Chu Yunfan had given that excuse before, it meant that Chu Yunfan did not want to reveal the real reason.
And naturally, he saw no need to ask any further questions.
Thus, Chu Yunfan and Li Mingtian fell into an eerie calm.
The two sat upright, neither speaking nor leaving, as if waiting for something.
The tranquility was shattered by the arrival of a guard from the city lord's mansion.
"Lord City Lord, I have important news to report!"
The guard glanced at Chu Yunfan but did not say anything more.
Seeing this, Li Mingtian directly gave the order:
"Don't hold back, speak your mind!"
Upon hearing Li Mingtian's words, the guard continued his report.
"Lord of the city, the Wang family has suddenly been involved in multiple poisoning and assassination cases. Many important figures in the Wang family have died suddenly and violently."
The murderers, however, were all members of the Wang family.
My subordinate has come to inquire how this matter should be handled.
After speaking, Li Mingtian did not answer the guard's question, but only turned to look at Chu Yunfan.
Chu Yunfan didn't say anything, but simply picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.
Seeing this, Li Mingtian simply waved his hand, signaling the guard to step back.
"I am aware of this matter. For now, you need not concern yourself with it. You may leave."
Upon hearing Li Mingtian's order, the guard looked at Li Mingtian with obvious surprise, but dared not ask any further questions and had no choice but to leave.
As soon as the first guard left, another guard came to report.
This time, before the guards could even speak, Li Mingtian directly gave the order:
"Just say what you want!"
Upon hearing this, the guard was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reported:
"Reporting to the City Lord, a large number of unidentified Martial Venerable Realm experts suddenly flooded into the Wang family and slaughtered them all!"
Even the Wang family patriarch died in the siege.
"Your subordinate has come to consult the city lord on how to handle this matter."
Upon hearing this news, Li Mingtian was visibly stunned.
Before the two guards came to report, he had already guessed that Chu Yunfan was going to take action against the Wang family today.
However, he did not expect Chu Yunfan to be so efficient.
Less than an hour had passed, and the Wang family, the largest family in Lianshan City, had been completely wiped out.
Li Mingtian waved his hand, instructing the guards to go straight back and not to concern themselves with the Wang family's affairs.
Then, he looked at Chu Yunfan and asked with some curiosity:
"Brother Xuanyuan, I want to know, how did you convince the three major families to risk their lives for you?"
The swift annihilation of the Wang family must have required the full force of all three major families.
Hearing Li Mingtian's question, Chu Yunfan smiled and looked at him, saying:
"Does the city lord truly wish to know?"
Upon hearing this, Li Mingtian did not answer, but his eyes revealed his thoughts.
Then, Chu Yunfan made no attempt to hide anything and answered directly:
"I promised them that once I become the Pill King, I will refine a pill for them."
Chu Yunfan's words, spoken calmly, struck Li Mingtian like a thunderclap.
His reaction was exactly the same as that of the Fragrant Concubine before him.
"Is it worth it for the sake of the Wang family?"
"If I feel it's worth it, then it's worth it!"
After saying that, Chu Yunfan raised his glass and toasted Li Mingtian.
"Speaking of which, I must thank the city lord for his cooperation in today's events."
If the city lord ever needs any help in the future, I will certainly do my best to assist him!
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunfan was the first to drink the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's words, Li Mingtian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Chu Yunfan:
"If I were to say that I also wish to refine a pill, I wonder if Brother Xuanyuan would agree?"
Chu Yunfan was not surprised to hear Li Mingtian's request.
Because, given his current strength, Li Mingtian has no need for him at all. The only area where he might need him is in alchemy.
