Chapter 202 Confrontation between uncle and nephew
When the group from Cangqiong Mountain set out towards the Shangguan family, other sects or families, even if they had a myriad of ideas in their minds, all reluctantly reorganized their personnel and headed towards the Shangguan family.
As the Shangguan family was at the center of the storm, things were obviously not very calm at the moment.
Not long after Shangguan Cheng hurried back to the Shangguan family, he discovered that many people in the family no longer listened to his orders, and some were even pretending to obey him but actually disobeying him.
This made him, who had suffered a setback at Cangqiong Mountain, very angry in front of many elders. He picked out a few of the most cheerful disciples and gave them ruthless punishments. Only then did the voices of those who were pessimistic in the sect become a little quieter.
It was when he proposed that although the exchange competition was suspended, their Jindan disciples still had to enter the secret realm for training that he realized how big a thing had happened to the entire Shangguan family in the past few days.
The Shangguan family is so big, but they couldn't even manage a secret realm properly, allowing the man in black to take complete control.
This made him not bother to listen to the advice of those old guys, and he rushed into Shangguan Wei's residence angrily.
"Uncle San, are you also in cahoots with the black-robed man?"
Shangguan Wei, who was sitting behind the desk and looking at the document in his hand, seemed to have anticipated his coming. He patiently read the letter in his hand and put it aside before looking at Shangguan Cheng.
"As the acting head of the family, how can you be so reckless?"
Shangguan Cheng's mind was in a mess at the moment. On the one hand, he felt ashamed of suddenly becoming a traitor, and on the other hand, he was panicked by what he had heard on the road about Gong Bowen being stabbed to death by Venerable Xing Heng.
In the end, it all turned into dissatisfaction with Shangguan Wei.
"Uncle San, how could you do this? Where do you want to put the hundreds of years of reputation of our Shangguan family?"
"The head of the Gong family was considered a great hero, but in the end, his death was ridiculous, and the entire Gong family fell apart. Do you think the Shangguan family will be like this as well?"
Shangguan Wei didn't care about his angry accusations at all, and even had the leisure to take out the tea set to make tea.
"What qualifications does Gong Bowen have to compete with me, Shangguan Wei?"
"I, Shangguan Wei, have been the head of the family for hundreds of years. I don't need a young boy like you to teach me a lesson. What I did is naturally due to the Shangguan family."
"Traitor? I, Shangguan Wei, was attacked and failed to pass the tribulation. Was there anyone in the entire cultivation world who lent a hand to help? On the contrary, they all took advantage of my misfortune. Why would I continue to associate with such people?"
By the end of his speech, Shangguan Wei's usually gentle face was filled with sarcasm and resentment.
He threw the teacup in his hand onto the desk with a crisp sound. Shangguan Wei sneered and looked at Shangguan Cheng.
"Shangguan Cheng, I watched you grow up. I know exactly what kind of person you are. Stop pretending to be so righteous in front of me."
"You look so angry now, it's just because you were scared by Sang Yunqi."
"Do you think that if you act this way now, people will look at you with respect, praise you for your integrity, and spare your life?"
"It's just stupid."
All of Shangguan Cheng's fig leaves were suddenly torn off by Shangguan Wei. He became furious and no longer cared about hierarchy. He took out his sword and pointed it at Shangguan Wei, looking at his good uncle with a vicious look.
"In that case, Third Uncle, don't blame me for killing my own relatives for the sake of justice."
"As long as I kill you with my own hands and clean up the mess, I will be the one who has done the most meritorious service in eradicating the traitor, and the Shangguan Family will be completely in my possession. I believe that by then everyone will be grateful to me for being the head of the family."
There was not a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation in Shangguan Wei's body. He was just an ordinary person. Because his foundation was damaged, his body was even weaker than that of ordinary people.
Even so, facing Shangguan Cheng's uncontrollable murderous aura, she did not show any panic. She still sat behind the desk as steady as a rock, looking at him with a smile.
Shangguan Cheng, who was so angry that he was about to get mad, felt like someone had a basin of cold water poured over his head, and the hand holding the sword couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Something is wrong, very wrong. Shangguan Wei is too calm.
It was not until this moment that Shangguan Cheng regained his sanity. He looked around the room vigilantly, and his feet involuntarily retreated towards the door.
But the door, which was originally wide open, suddenly slammed shut behind him, and he didn't even see a single figure.
Shangguan Cheng no longer had the courage he had just now. He hurried to the door and tried to open it, but even though he used all his strength, the seemingly fragile wooden door did not move at all.
He couldn't help swallowing, looked at Shangguan Wei with forced calmness, and said in a timid tone.
"Shangguan Wei, I am the head of the Shangguan family now, you can't kill me."
Shangguan Wei chuckled, put his hands on the armrests of the chair, and slowly stood up.
"No matter how stupid you are, you are still my nephew, Shangguan Wei. How could I kill you?"
"It's just to prevent you from doing something stupid and ruining my plan. I'd like you to take a good rest."
After saying that, Shangguan Wei gently raised his hand, and two people wrapped in black robes jumped out from nowhere, restrained Shangguan Cheng on the left and right, and dragged him out.
Shangguan Cheng was extremely flustered, but he couldn't break free from the people around him, so he could only curse in shame and anger.
Shangguan Wei in the room looked at his figure getting farther and farther away, his eyes a little dazed.
At this moment, a man in black robe appeared behind him without his noticing, sat casually on the chair he had just sat on, picked up the still warm teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea.
"The head of the Shangguan family is kindhearted after all. He was so tolerant towards the murderer who wanted to kill his own son and was reluctant to kill him."
Shangguan Wei turned around instantly and stared at the person in front of him with a sinister look.
"I, Shangguan Wei, have agreed to cooperate with you. As a condition, I will take care of all the people in the Shangguan family. This is what your leader promised. You are not qualified to tell me what to do."
"My Shangguan family does not participate in the affairs of the secret realm, nor will we interfere. You can rest assured."
The man in black robe took a sip of the tea in the cup and spoke in a calm tone.
"I just said it casually, why should Master Shangguan be angry?"
"But according to our investigation, the head of the Shangguan family seemed to have gone out a few days ago. I wonder if you can tell me where you went."
"Don't worry, Patriarch Shangguan. I'm just worried about your safety."
Shangguan Wei's heart trembled. His trip to Cangqiong Mountain was completely secret, and even the people in Shangguan's family were not alerted. He also made full preparations before leaving, and he didn't know how the man in black knew about it.
He didn't believe that Xu Zhuo would reveal this matter, so there must be something wrong with the people around him.
Has the man in black robe actually infiltrated here now?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the man in black robe sneered: "Master Shangguan, for the sake of your son, you should stop doing these little tricks. It will be good for both you and me, isn't it?"
