Beast Blood Boiling 2
"I'd like to hear more." Hu Gao said with a sly expression, knowing that the Second Elder's next words would contain a huge amount of information, whether true or false, and he was confident in his ability to analyze it all.
"Hu Cai Piao's identity is very special, I have been observing her for many years and thought she would be content with staying in the Hu family. Alas, things are hard to predict, anyway, I sent her to Longjia Mountain Range, originally it was a test for you, there were people arranged by us around you, she had no chance of killing you, only we didn't expect that you would actually let her go." The Second Elder sighed.
"Alright, assuming Hu Cai Piao really had a problem, then why would she come to tell me that there's a traitor in our family after she found out about the Second Elder colluding with the four families, and at a time when her life was hanging by a thread?" Hu Gao asked skeptically.
"Did she go to find you?" The Second Elder was surprised, originally Hu Caihong's escape from his attack was already enough to surprise him, but he didn't expect her to actually go find Hu Gao.
"That's right, Second Elder didn't think of this, did he?"
"Haha, I indeed didn't expect this, it seems that in her heart, she still has a thread of guilt towards our Hu family. Who would have thought that when you let her go back then, it would actually bear such fruit."
"After saying so much, Second Elder still hasn't explained why you colluded with the people of the Four Great Families." Hu Gao shifted the topic back to Hu Caifeng. In fact, no matter what kind of person Hu Caifeng was in the past, she is now his blood slave, and asking her anything only requires a thought.
"Haha, ridiculous! I, Hu Jiaze, the master of the illustrious Hu family's White Branch, would collaborate with those four puppet families? You overestimate them too much." The Second Elder burst into loud laughter, but it seemed to have triggered a painful spot in his body, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out.
"I'm getting old, I'm really not useful anymore, just moving my bones and I'm exhausted! Hu Gao! You remember, our Hu family is not a small clan, even if we put it on the entire Totem Continent, we are a top-notch inherited family, absolutely not comparable to the small Dragon Tiger Country!" The Second Elder said suddenly with an extremely serious tone.
"I contacted them just to see how far they had collaborated with the Lang family. At this critical moment, we absolutely cannot allow them to stand on an outsider's ship! I didn't expect that after a lifetime of careful planning, I would ultimately be outmaneuvered by those wolf-like people from the Lang family." The Second Elder sighed.
Upon hearing this, Hu Gao's mind began to spin rapidly. He was able to stand out from among the countless students and enter Qinghua University, one of the top universities in China, so he wasn't really stupid. The information revealed by the Second Elder was already sufficient for him to piece together a complete logical thread.
A series of scenes flashed through Hu Gao's mind, from the time he first crossed over and Lang Huan Tian mysteriously killed his way into the Hu family's forbidden grounds, to the Li Qing rebellion, and now tonight's changes. It seemed as if a huge conspiracy had always been surrounding the Hu family.
Hú Gāo was keenly aware that there seemed to be a mysterious thread running through this, and he tried to find it out, but found that no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't see through it, because there were several important uncertainties inside that made Hú Gāo unable to make an accurate judgment.
After witnessing tonight's battle, he naturally understood the gap between the explosive yuan boundary warriors would be huge. The decisive elder in the Hu family absolutely belongs to the top layer of combat power. If even a young master from the Lang family can't kill him, it's hard to imagine that the two families will entangle for so long in the Qingyuan war pulse.
According to the dying words of the elder, Lang's genius would also be short-lived. So there was only one reason to let him go back: to tell the Lang family that the heir of the Hu family was in Ning City, and the hope for the revival of the Hu family was also here.
Then there was the encounter with the three-stage demon beast in the Longjia mountain range, which just verified the success of Hu's plan. This made Lang's family go all out to bypass Qingyuan mining vein and enter Hu's territory from the gap between Tu Mountain and Longjia mountain range, just to kill himself.
Is it also too cruel to sacrifice a legitimate elder just to tell the enemy that one exists?
Following this line of thinking, it's likely that the Ninth Elder sent Bai Wei and others to scout out the enemy situation, but they probably won't be able to escape with their lives. Because only in this way can the Lang family think that this is a real setup, and the Hu family still cares about their sneak attack, so they have people strictly checking and defending, which makes them even more want to enter this trap!
Another strange point is that during the Li Qing rebellion, in the face of a great enemy, no matter what kind of conspiracy or internal struggle there was within the family, terror would not choose to take place at this time. Because once the Qingyuan mine vein falls, the Hu family will face the possibility of extinction, and whichever branch wins this battle will not be worth it!
The young and old of the Lang family still launched this bizarre battle, thinking that if there was a traitor in the Lang family within Ning City, the enemy should have known about it too. For the Lang family who wanted to come to Ning City to kill themselves, this was another great piece of good news.
Before reconnecting with the two elders, he contacted the four major families to conspire against himself. Tonight, he suddenly launched a surprise attack and injured people. The purpose is to directly consume the combat power of the four major families by more than half. Isn't this exactly what Kaixing said? "To repel external enemies, one must first stabilize internally!" The Hu family does not allow Lang's impending invasion, and there is still an uncertain force within Ning City that they cannot control!
The more Hu Gao analyzed, the more frightened he became. The Hu family, which seemed to have already decayed in Li Rou's eyes, was actually cruel to such an extent. If he thought deeper, wouldn't even himself, this so-called successor, be just a pawn of the Hu family? There was no such thing as a guardian deity after all, that's why they would abandon themselves like worn-out shoes, never truly putting them in their hearts.
But the Second Elder said that he had not calculated it, and it was probably tonight's nine-tailed disaster. Also, he seemed to have been injured in this battle, which was also beyond his calculations. And all of this, probably meant that the Lang family was not as simple as imagined, and the other side had also prepared enough killing moves!
Thinking of this, Hu Gao boldly asked, "Is the plan that Second Elder mentioned referring to that Nine-Tailed Demon Beast that is currently rampaging?"
"That's right! Hu Gao, I don't have much time left. If there is anyone in this world who can turn the current situation around, it would be you." The Second Elder began to cough up blood nonstop, and even his palms couldn't cover his mouth.
"Second Elder, are you alright? With my current strength, how could I possibly stop it?" Hu Gao didn't dare to take on such a heavy burden himself.
"Cough, cough." The Second Elder stepped forward, placing a hand on Hu Gao's shoulder. "I can finally rest now, the future of the Hu Clan is in your hands!"
"Second Elder, don't worry, I can save you!" Hu Gao suddenly felt that no matter what, he should first save the Second Elder's life.
"Farewell!" The Second Elder shook his head, and a final hint of a smile appeared on his ugly face. His body began to slowly dissipate, like vaporizing, until only a white fox suddenly appeared, shooting straight into the sky, disappearing without a trace!
Did the two elders really die just like this?
Hu Gao couldn't believe his eyes, for a long time, as a fake successor, the Second Elder, who had always been suspicious of him, was like a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.
But did he really have to die like this?
Hu Gao was so grief-stricken that he had no tears to cry, the two elders were dead, and the Hu family in Ning City was truly on the brink of collapse. With his own weak strength, what could he do?
Hu's family set up such a big trap, will they end up getting burned themselves?
What the heck!
Hu stood there in a daze, momentarily losing his composure. He was at a loss for what to do next. In the past, when he encountered problems he didn't understand, he could ask his instructor, and if the instructor didn't know, he could ask Baidu. But now, he really was all alone.
Just as Hu Gao was at a loss for what to do, a sudden noise startled him awake.
He glanced sideways and found it was the same hand that had been trying to shake off the stone on top earlier.
Suddenly an idea popped into Hu Gao's mind. If his calculations were correct, the person under this giant stone was probably Zhu You Tian, the master of the Zhu family who had just fought with the Second Elder. If he could use the Blood Slave Oath to subdue him, wouldn't that be a free increase in combat power?
Think back to when he was fighting against the Second Elder, that majestic Yuan Decree and Totem skill were absolutely his trump cards. Moreover, grasping Zhu You Tian was equivalent to grasping the entire Zhu Family, which was a considerable gain.
"Listen up, I can get you out of here, but you have to agree to one condition: once we're out, you'll become my blood slave. If you agree, show me your palm." Hu Gao said.
The hand that was still struggling heard Hu Gao's words and suddenly stopped.
Hu Gao smiled, gazing at those hands with the same curiosity as when he used to squat in a corner and watch ants as a child. He knew that humans' desire for survival was extremely strong, and even someone like Zhu You Tian, an explosive Yuan boundary expert, was no exception.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, after a moment, that hand really opened wide and then didn't move again.
Hu Gao smiled and moved the stone a bit, revealing Zhu You Tian's mouth.
"How are you? Can you speak?"
"...can..." a desolate voice said.
"With a vitality as strong as this, you won't die even if you try. Consider yourself lucky to have met me." Hu Gao gathered a bit of yuan energy and cut open Zhu You Tian's finger, pressing the blood stain onto his own forehead before saying, "Come on, Master Zhu, don't be shy."
"I, Zhu You Tian, in this lifetime am willing to become a slave of Hu Gao, dedicating my soul, and at all times awaiting the master's command. If I violate this oath, I will be devoured by ten thousand beasts, never to be reincarnated!"
"Ah, now you're being good!" Hu Gao patted Zhu You Tian's forehead and chuckled.
