Chapter 104 Taking an Opportunity to Launch an Attack
Seeing that Li Kun had calmed down, Uncle Zhou breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Since Brother Li has made up his mind, let's wait for A-Ming to arrive at Twin Islands and then we'll tell him about it."
"Given A-Ming's relationship with Li Ang, he certainly won't refuse to help," Uncle Chen said softly. "And with our help, it will be easy for A-Ming to deal with those who attacked Li Ang."
"Didn't they say that top talents shouldn't interfere?" Li Kun said angrily.
"We don't need to take action ourselves," Uncle Chen said calmly. "With my authority in the Killing Pavilion, it's not difficult to mobilize a few assassins directly under the Killing Pavilion. If all else fails, I can put up a few bounties."
"I will provide intelligence support," Uncle Zhou replied.
"It seems I won't be needed," Old Deng said, shaking his head slightly. "Brother Chen and Brother Zhou have practically taken care of everything; all we need to do is have Young Master Jiang show up."
Hearing the three people's words, Li Kun's heart sank a little.
Although he was a top expert, he was only a protector of the Great River Alliance. He had no real power except for the title, because he had once been a lonely wanderer in the martial world.
"What's done is done, there's no going back. Brother Li, don't be too angry," Uncle Zhou advised. "With the technological level of the Four Nations Alliance, Li Ang's limbs can be restored to normal, but it will be difficult for him to practice martial arts in the future."
"I know." Li Kun sighed softly, "I'm a little unwilling to accept that I can't take revenge myself."
"You can't do it yourself, but Li Ang can take revenge himself, if he wants to," Uncle Chen said calmly.
"We'll have to go back and ask Li Ang for his opinion," Li Kun sighed again. "Hopefully, this experience won't cause him any psychological trauma."
The three people in the room remained silent. They had no children or carefully nurtured offspring, so they naturally couldn't understand that feeling.
"After we finish this game of chess, how about we play cards?" Uncle Zhou suggested.
"No, thank you." Li Kun shook his head slightly, stood up, and prepared to leave the room. "I'm going out for a walk to clear my head. You don't need to worry about me."
The three watched Li Kun leave, feeling quite distressed by the situation, especially since Li Ang's accident occurred after they left the Four Nations Alliance, clearly indicating that it was timed perfectly.
"Brother Deng, I'm thinking of using this matter to make trouble. What do you think?" Uncle Zhou asked, turning his head.
"How do you plan to make things difficult?" Old Deng asked curiously.
"Some people in the Four Nations Alliance have forgotten the role that Shenwu Kingdom played when it was founded, to the point that they have the idea of expelling the people of Shenwu Kingdom." Uncle Zhou's voice was cold. "Take this opportunity to purge some ungrateful people and get the Four Nations Alliance back on track."
"Then let's do as Brother Zhou says." Old Deng nodded upon hearing this. "After we get back, I will inform the stationed martial artists in various places and ask them to cooperate in putting pressure on us."
Uncle Chen sat aside, drinking tea and listening quietly to their conversation.
He was just one of the leaders of the Killing Pavilion, and his presence in the Four Kingdoms Alliance was voluntary; he could not be considered to be stationed there on behalf of the Divine Martial Kingdom.
The two people in front of them were different. One represented the Shenwu Kingdom in gathering intelligence, and the other represented the Shenwu Kingdom in stationing troops. They were both high-ranking and powerful figures.
Of course, the reason why the two held such high positions and wielded such great power was mainly because they were independent cultivators who were not bound by any sect or faction, and thus were able to gain the trust of various forces.
……
It was nearing noon.
The fleet, bearing the flags of the three major families, arrived smoothly at the port of Twin Islands, where many martial artists disembarked to load and unload cargo.
The restaurant is located not far from the port and overlooks the port.
A man sat at a table by the window, leisurely drinking and eating. After witnessing Jiang Yanming and the others disembark from the ship, a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.
"The target has finally arrived, and the timing is exactly as predicted."
The man thought to himself, "If I'm not mistaken, the target will be returning to the Four Nations Alliance by ship today, which will allow us to intercept him at sea."
He finished his drink in a few gulps, then got up to pay the bill.
Now that he had witnessed the target arrive at Twin Islands, all he needed to do was pass on the message and leave the rest to others.
the other side.
Not long after Jiang Yanming disembarked from the ship, martial artists from the three major families came to report: "Young Alliance Leader Jiang, there are people outside claiming to be from the Great River Alliance."
"Young Master, they must have been sent by Mr. Chen to keep an eye on the port," Leng Tong reminded him.
"Let him in," Jiang Yanming said.
"Alright." The martial artist nodded in agreement and then quickly retreated.
Before long, he returned with a young man in white. The young man bowed and greeted Jiang Yanming, saying, "Greetings, Young Alliance Leader."
"I remember you." Jiang Yanming nodded and asked, "Did Mr. Chen send you?"
"Yes, Mr. Chen assigned the two of us to take turns watching the port," the young man in white replied respectfully.
"Have you received any people from the Four Nations Alliance recently?" Jiang Yanming asked.
"A few days ago, a Protector Li returned from the Four Kingdoms Alliance and moved into the guild hall with three other people," the young man in white replied.
"Protector Li?" Jiang Yanming asked thoughtfully.
"Young Alliance Leader, it should be Protector Li Kun," Leng Tong reminded him from the side.
"Yes." Jiang Yanming nodded. He thought so too. After all, among the people his father got along well with, only Uncle Li had the surname Li.
Jiang Yanming could tell that the martial artist was of high status, probably a top-tier expert at the fourth level of the Condensation Realm, and likely a high-ranking member of one of the three major families.
He then turned to the martial artist and said, "Please tell Senior Liang that the people who came to take me back to the Four Kingdoms Alliance have arrived, and I will be unable to attend the farewell banquet."
"I will certainly pass on the message." The martial artist bowed and replied, "Young Alliance Leader Jiang, please take care."
So, Jiang Yanming and his group of four headed towards the Great River Alliance's headquarters.
Because he had visited Twin Islands before, which exposed his identity as the young leader of the Great River Alliance, many martial artists recognized him. Although they didn't point fingers at him to his face, they couldn't help but gossip about him behind his back.
After a long while, Jiang Yanming and his three companions arrived at the Great River Alliance's headquarters.
Upon entering the lobby, a middle-aged man in white immediately greeted them: "Greetings, Young Alliance Leader."
"Is Protector Li here?" Jiang Yanming asked.
"Protector Li is in room B on the second floor." The middle-aged man in white hesitated, ultimately not revealing the information he had previously learned.
Jiang Yanming nodded and walked towards the room on the second floor.
Before long, he arrived outside the room with the character "乙" and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Li Kun's voice came from inside the room.
"Uncle Li," Jiang Yanming called out, "it's me."
"Come in," Li Kun's voice came from inside.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanming pushed open the door and saw Li Kun sitting in a chair holding a letter.
"Ah Ming, come and take a look at this." Li Kun placed the letter on the table.
Jiang Yanming walked over, picked up the letter, sat down on an empty chair, and began to read it. His expression then turned somewhat gloomy and puzzled.
"They actually dared to attack Li Ang?"
"Why wouldn't they dare? They even deliberately chose to attack me when I left the Four Nations Alliance, causing Li Ang to suffer a non-fatal injury." Li Kun snorted coldly, then waved for Leng Tong and Wang Chen to leave.
"Is it because of military technology?" Jiang Yanming asked.
"Military Technology is an important company supplying weapons to the armies of the Four Nations Alliance. Some people don't want Military Technology to be associated with Shenwu Kingdom," Li Kun replied coldly.
"Li Ang has ultimately been drawn into the family feud." Jiang Yanming shook his head inwardly; he had considered this possibility before.
They thought that with Uncle Li around, Li Ang's mother's family wouldn't dare to make a move, but they didn't expect them to strike when Uncle Li wasn't there.
However, according to Uncle Li, there is a hidden force manipulating everything, possibly the core of the Four Nations Alliance, whose purpose is to prevent military technology from being associated with the Divine Martial Kingdom.
"Uncle Li, how do you plan to take revenge?" Jiang Yanming asked.
"Ah Ming, if I were to entrust this matter to you, what would you do?" Li Kun stared intently at Jiang Yanming.
"Me?" Jiang Yanming frowned upon hearing this, carefully considering how to answer.
