Chapter 1291 - 1291: The External War Has Just Begun, And Now We’ve to Wage an Internal War as Well?

"Nephew, where did you hear that name? And what does it have to do with the karma Men Clan is facing right now?" Grand Elder asked curiously.

Of course, there were not many people who knew about this assassin force. Only high-ranking people would know, so it would be very difficult for Guan-Yong to know them unless he knew by himself.

"I'll answer this myself. Xiao-Yong only knew about them because the people who attacked him before were assassins from the Dark Crescent Secret Force. As for the employer, you all know who they are. As for the karma that the Men Clan is facing, it's because the assassins who worked for them were all killed by the Men Clan to silence them. When the Dark Crescent Secret Force found out, they returned to take revenge!"

Hah!

Is this true?

Why did the Men Clan do such a stupid thing?

That's right!

When everyone heard the clan leader's explanation, they all exclaimed.

"If that's the case, should our Guan Clan join this war? We can use the fact that they attacked our people first as an excuse. This is an opportunity to claim justice and settle the grudge that the Men Clan did to us?" The second Elder asked when the exclamations and criticisms had died down. His eyes and expression were serious and determined, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Moreover, deep down, there was a grudge hidden inside.

"Not yet! We won't do anything for now. We'll let Men Clan and Dark Crescent Secret Force fight each other. Let them both get tired, then we can go in and reap the reparations for what the Men Clan did to us!"

Umm!

Clan Leader is so smart!!!

How excellent Clan Leader is!!!

Hearing his plan, everyone immediately praised the clan leader. Only a fool would interfere in the middle of a fierce tiger fight. As for the wise ones, they would wait until the tigers were weak, then take them down at once.

"Today, everything has been made clear. So, from now on, we'll keep quiet and ignore everything. Also, close the clan entrance and announce that the Guan Clan won't host any guests during this time. End the meeting!"

Yes, sir, Clan Leader!!!

"Xiao-Yong, you stay here for now!"

"Yes, sir, Father!"

………………

"Now, can you tell me who this comrade exactly is? And what's his purpose in helping you and our Guan Clan?"

After the others left, Guan Clan Leader immediately asked his son about his mysterious comrade who helped uncover the secret behind the ambush on his son and the clan members who betrayed them by selling information to the enemy.

"Father, I really can't tell you. Even if it's you, I can't break my promise to him. I hope Father will understand and not ask about his identity again. As for his purpose, I believe he definitely doesn't wish me or our Guan Clan harm. If he wanted to do something to us, he would have done it!" Guan-Yong refused without hesitation. He had promised Zheng-Fu that he would not tell anyone about Zheng-Fu's identity. But even if he wanted to tell, he still did not know who Zheng-Fu was or where he came from. Other than his name, he did not know anything about Zheng-Fu.

Umm!

"Never mind then. Since you made a promise to him, you've to keep it. Even though we're people of the Demon Race, we also have morals. As for his ulterior motives, since you believe in him so much, I'll believe what you believe. By the way, is there any other information that your comrade told you?"

When the clan leader saw that his son was determined not to talk, he did not want to ask more. He knew that his son was firm—just like he himself had been in his younger days. It was a true case of 'like father, like son'. So, he changed the topic.

"Apart from this information, he also said that we should cooperate with the Sang Clan to deal with the Men Clan. As for the reason, I don't know either." The young man pondered for a moment before continuing what Zheng-Fu had told him through the mysterious message sent to him.

Cooperate with Sang Clan?!

"Does he know Sang Clan, too?"

"Not exactly, Father. Do you remember the song I mentioned?"

Umm!

"It's a very good song. Even the elders who are good at playing music praised it nonstop. By the way, what does it have to do with this?" the clan leader replied in confusion. He did not understand what his son was implying. He could not figure out what the song his son was talking about had to do with this.

"I got this song from him. That day, Brother Sang-Long was there too. So, even though he may not know the Sang Clan directly, he knows someone in it. I think what happened to the Sang Clan before must have been done by the Men Clan as well. And I believe that Comrade Zheng-Fu must have sent the information about Men Clan's plans against Sang Clan to them as well, through Brother Sang-Long, just like he sent it to me so that I could pass it on to Father!"

Umm!

Guan Clan Leader understood immediately after hearing his son's explanation. When he learned that the Sang Clan was also in the Men Clan's plans, he connected the events of other clans. Before he concluded in his mind that all the events that happened to the clans must have been done by the Men Clan. But in the end, they were punished by the consequences of their karma.

Sigh!

"From what you've said, I think the person who's causing trouble for Men Clan right now is probably your mysterious comrade. If possible, you should make friends with him and build a relationship with him. He doesn't seem like an ordinary person!"

Clan Leader continued to analyze and concluded that it was impossible for the Men Clan to make a mistake and leave evidence for the Dark Crescent Secret Force to know after silencing the assassins, thus digging their own grave. Unless someone deliberately created a situation and fabricated evidence to blame the Men Clan. And the most suspicious person in this case should be none other than this mysterious young man.

"I also think the same as Father. Because he was the one who dealt with the assassins who ambushed me in such a short period, it's very possible that it was him." Guan-Yong also thought the same as his father, but he did not say it before because he was afraid that his father would not believe him.

Umm...

"All right! That's enough for today. Go back and rest. Your body and energy haven't fully recovered yet. When you're better, we'll go to Sang Clan!"

Yes, sir, Father!

At Sang Clan, in the Sang Clan Leader's office...

"Is that really true, Xiao-Long? Are you sure the information you got is correct?"

A middle-aged man with a strong body, sitting at the desk in the middle of the room, asked seriously after he listened to the report from the young man in front of him, who was none other than Sang-Long, his son.

"I guarantee it, Father. My comrade is trustworthy, and the information he gave me is exactly what happened to our territory and business group before. How could it be anything else, Father!" Sang-Long replied seriously. He seemed very confident in the information he had received from Zheng-Fu. Even though they had only met once, it was enough for him to know whether Zheng-Fu was suitable for him to get along with.

Umm!

"It's exactly as you said. The information your comrade gave you is exactly what we experienced. Huh! I never thought that the Men Clan would dare to do such a shameless thing. Good! Since they want to wage war on us, we'll give them the war. Is anyone out there?!"

Flap!

Yes, sir, Clan Leader!

"Call the elders to an urgent meeting, I have something to inform everyone!"

Yes, sir, Clan Leader!

Flap!

"Father…, hmm…"

"Do you have anything else to say? Or did your comrade tell you something more?"

"Actually, my comrade told me that in the next few days, we should not make any moves, wait a while, and then contact the Guan Clan to cooperate in dealing with the Men Clan."

Hah!

Guan Clan?!

"Could Men Clan have been behind the ambush on Guan Young Master as well?"

"I think so, sir, Father. Apart from what happened to the Guan Clan, what happened to other clans before must have been the same!" Sang-Long nodded and answered his father quite confidently. He thought that all the unrest must have been related to the Men Clan as well.

Huh!

"Men Clan! You guys should have been erased from history long ago. And now, with what you've done, don't even think about living any longer!"

Sang Clan Leader clenched his fists, his eyes filled with flames of resentment. If it could kill people, his enemies would have died from the heat. But of course, although these flames could not kill his enemies, Sang Clan Leader was very confident that what would happen next would be able to extinguish their breath.

"You go back first. I'll discuss this with the other elders. During this time, you should try to act normally. Or if possible, go to the Guan Clan to see what they think about this matter."

"All right, sir, Father. I'll take this opportunity to visit Brother Guan-Yong. At least we're close to each other to some extent. Since the day he was ambushed and returned to the clan, I haven't visited him!"

Sang-Long thought that going to the Guan Clan was also good. In fact, he had already planned to visit the injured Guan-Yong, and he also wanted to talk to the young man about Zheng-Fu.

"Well then, you can go now!"

All right, Father!

After Sang-Long left the room, Sang Clan Leader sat back down in his office chair. He had a lot to ponder as he waited for the clan elders to gather in the hall to start the meeting.

Sigh!

"The external war has just begun, and now we've to wage an internal war as well?
