Chapter 1166: Being Outmaneuvered
The explosion sounded like a bolt from the blue.
The ancestral tomb was blown up. My own ancestral tomb was blown up. Not only was there smoke, but there was also fire.
After receiving the call, the faces of all the clan leaders changed drastically and they rushed home as quickly as possible.
This is a big deal, a huge deal!
Orientals believe in a very diverse range of gods, but if you analyze the gods they believe in carefully, you will find that they basically all believe in ancestral gods.
Big gods or small gods, ancestors come first!
If the trees in an ordinary family’s cemetery were cut down, they would rush to the door with knives and fight to the death, not to mention that the ancestral tombs of these families were blown up.
"Ancestors, it is my incompetence that has brought shame upon you all!"
"I swear, anyone who destroys my ancestral tomb will be torn into pieces!"
“…”
Crying, cursing, and swearing.
All the families cannot swallow this humiliation. If you killed their people, we can still talk about it, but destroying their ancestral tombs is an irreconcilable feud.
No matter who the enemy is, no matter where the enemy is, revenge must be taken!
So countless calls were made to Old Man Jiang, and all the clan leaders asked him to change the wanted order for Lei Zhen to hunt him down because his ancestral tomb had been blown up.
At this time, Old Man Jiang and Lu Xiaoqi looked at each other in bewilderment. They never dreamed that the ancestral tombs of all their families would be blown up... How could such a thing happen?
When there is a family feud, even if one family is destroyed, the ancestral tomb will not be disturbed.
The revenge for digging up graves, and even the revenge for killing one's father and wife from a distant dynasty.
In traditional Eastern culture, disturbing one's ancestral graves is equivalent to digging up one's roots.
"Why would he think of disturbing someone's ancestral grave?" Lu Xiaoqi said angrily, "Is he even a human being? Does he have any moral principles? Does he even have any conscience?"
It is unacceptable, not even the King of Northeast China can accept it.
For him, killing people in an entire family was normal, but he had never blown up ancestral tombs. At most, he had his men dig up ancient tombs.
Old man Jiang was puffing on his pipe, not knowing what to say.
He has been ruthless and ruthless in his life since he was young. He has killed his opponents more than once. Later, he used various insidious tricks to bring down the Zhu family and established the leadership position of the Jiang family.
But even someone like him didn't say anything about digging up other people's ancestral graves.
Because some things can be done and some things cannot be done, this is the most basic principle of being a human being.
They're all dead, and digging graves is not what humans should do.
"There is no bottom line, absolutely no bottom line..."
Even an old man like Jiang had to make a judgment. He realized for the first time how extreme Lei Zhen's style of doing things was, and he was disgusted.
"Fortunately, they didn't blow up my house..." Lu Xiaoqi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Although the Northeast King was powerful, he was also afraid that his ancestral tomb would be blown up, otherwise his family would be destroyed and he would have to run to the ancestral hall to kneel down and apologize.
"So many family tombs have been blown up, and all the clan leaders are going crazy, demanding to hunt down Lei Zhen." Old Man Jiang said, holding his pipe. "And Lei Zhen went to the Gold Coast of the Plateau Continent. If we want to hunt him down, we have to go abroad and enter his territory."
When receiving the call from Lei Zhen, Old Man Jiang's heart was filled with joy, and he believed that the other party chose to escape due to the situation, which was a good thing.
Without Lei Zhen's interference, he would be able to quickly control the forces of all parties, and also bring together the traditional factions, and eventually take control of the world in one go.
By the time the other person comes back, it's too late.
But he never expected that his future son-in-law would actually do such a thing.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
The phone rang, and it was a clan leader calling.
"Chief Jiang, when are we going to hunt down Lei Zhen? If you don't give the order, we'll go to the Gold Coast ourselves!"
"Chief Xu, calm down."
"Why should I be calm? Our ancestral tomb was blown up, but yours hasn't been, so of course there's no need to worry! Are you going to kill Lei Zhen? If you don't go, we will!"
“…”
Faced with the emotional clan leaders, no matter how Old Man Jiang tried to comfort them, it was useless. When it came to the ancestral graves of each family, no one could remain calm.
"Brother Jiang, first promise them that you'll gather everyone and then persuade them to calm down," Lu Xiaoqi said earnestly. "If we let them go on a vengeful quest, it will disrupt our rhythm. Right now, we must focus on rallying all forces and not give Lei Zhen any chance."
They formed the Pure Land Organization, which has thousands of members, and their purpose is to capture Lei Zhen.
But the other party ran away directly and ran to the plateau continent. Of course, it was impossible to go to the other party's territory to carry out a capture operation, but we had to quickly take control of this place.
It can even be said that the biggest purpose of creating such an organization is to make the other party give up.
"You're right, this is the top priority."
"That's it, I'll take a call."
Lu Xiaoqi nodded and took out his cell phone to answer the call.
"What?"
"You fucking say that again?"
As soon as he answered the phone, his expression changed completely.
"What happened?" Old Man Jiang asked with concern.
"My family's ancestral tomb was also bombed..."
Bang!
Lu Xiaoqi crushed the phone and roared like a wild beast.
"Kill Lei Zhen! No matter where he is, he must be killed!!!"
"Brother Lu, calm down."
"I'm not calm at all! The Plateau Continent isn't owned by his family, so I don't believe that we can't kill him with the combined strength of our family! Don't even try to convince me to calm down, I can't calm down—"
Whoever is responsible for the incident will be anxious.
The Lu family’s ancestral tomb was also bombed, and Lu Xiaoqi was the first one who couldn’t bear it.
No matter who persuades me, it’s useless!
"The most urgent task now is..."
"Don't tell me that, I'll take the people there myself!"
“…”
Old man Jiang had a splitting headache. He used Sun Jingshan to successfully let Lei Zhen bring in the outside world, and then took advantage of the situation to gather all the families. He then formed the Pure Land and issued a wanted order, successfully forcing him out.
This is a checkmate move, almost a dead end.
This method is enough to deal with anyone, and he even thought it had succeeded, but he never expected that Lei Zhen would blow up the ancestral tombs of so many families.
There are only two options left: one is to lead all the families into the plateau continent to kill Lei Zhen and appease everyone's anger; the other is to continue to implement the original plan and gather forces from all sides.
But now it's clear. If he doesn't allow the families to go to the plateau continent to seek revenge, there's no way to move forward with the plan.
If he couldn't even vent his anger when his family's ancestral tomb was blown up, what kind of prestige did Old Man Jiang have? As for gathering forces from all sides, forget it.
Especially since Lu Xiaoqi was also upset, it became even more impossible to implement it.
He was outmaneuvered!
"Notify all families and prepare to enter the plateau continent to hunt down Lei Zhen." Old Man Jiang said quickly, "This matter must end with Lei Zhen's death, otherwise there will be no comfort to the ancestors of each family."
Now that things have come to this, there is nothing that can be done.
Even though we knew that the plateau continent was Lei Zhen's territory, we had to go there anyway.
Otherwise, he will lose the support of the people and be questioned by various families.
