CHAPTER 359: CHAPTER 320: I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY
Feiyu District, Yu Family.
Feiyu District is an administrative district of Golden Source City and one of its thirty-eight districts.
The people who live in Feiyu District all bear the surname Yu, making it essentially a private property of the Yu Family.
Of course, there are also people with different last names here, generally low-level service personnel.
Feiyu District has a population of twenty million, which gives an idea of how large this district is.
The central area of the Yu Family is located by Spirit Fish Lake, next to Dragon Gate Mountain.
In Golden Source City, an artificial city, the lake and the mountains are both man-made.
Spirit Fish Lake is very large, large enough to enjoy yachting on it. Various fish are bred in the lake. It can be called a fishing paradise.
The surrounding area of Spirit Fish Lake, stretching for dozens of square kilometers, is a controlled area. Outsiders must apply for an appointment and gain approval to enter.
Dragon Gate Mountain, this man-made peak, is 800 meters high and over ten kilometers in circumference. The mountain is adorned with various strange rocks, exotic trees, spiritual herbs, and famous flowers, arranged in a very elegant manner.
A pond was built at the top of the mountain, from which water cascades down, forming waterfalls and streams, making the place even more secluded and beautiful.
Several dozen independent villas have been constructed on the mountain. This is also the core residential area of the Yu Family.
As the Patriarch, Yu Tianji naturally lives at the highest point.
There is a platform over a hundred square meters large on the villa, from which the scenery below the mountain can be overlooked.
Yu Tianji, when free, likes to stay on the platform, enjoying the mountain’s breeze and watching the multitudes below.
These past few days, Yu Tianji has remained on the platform, but he hasn’t been in the mood to watch the multitudes.
Yu Canghai was killed by Gao Xuan. This loss is massive, yet still bearable.
The crucial issue is that Gao Xuan will not let things go easily.
Yu Tianji has dealt with Gao Xuan twice. This young man is quite reasonable but holds grudges fiercely and employs extremely ruthless and cold means of revenge.
Yu Tianji is also very troubled, as they currently cannot defeat Gao Xuan and have no means to balance him, leaving them only with the nuclear bomb card to play.
In fact, this is the last resort; once played, everyone will know that the Yu Family has reached the end of their rope.
Moreover, this card can only be brandished as a threat and not easily used until pushed to the limit.
Once a nuclear bomb is used, regardless of what happens to Gao Xuan, other noble families will band together to destroy the Yu Family.
Due to the tense situation, the leaders of major families like the Wang and Lin families have all left Golden Source City.
They fear the Yu Family might go for ’to perish together’!
Thinking of this idiom, Yu Tianji couldn’t help but smile bitterly. It truly is not a good phrase.
"Second Brother."
Yu Tian Tao walked in from outside, politely greeting Yu Tianji.
Yu Tian Tao, with a gentle and refined appearance, wore a simple Tang suit and a pair of glasses, exuding an academic air.
Yu Tianji values this cousin highly, and he beckoned, "Tian Tao, come and sit."
He poured this cousin a cup of tea, "How did the talks go?"
Yu Tian Tao took a sip of tea, shook his head slightly, and said, "Gao Xuan did not show up. But the Xiao Family’s attitude was very firm, insisting that we hand over the culprit and relinquish our military authority."
"So there’s no negotiation possible then."
Yu Tianji was very disappointed. They talked of driving out Gao Xuan as a high bargaining position, not expecting truly to drive Gao Xuan away.
In fact, this time their demand was very simple, just to calm the situation down.
If Yu Canghai and the others are dead, they are dead. The matter ends here. From now on, both sides shake hands and make peace.
However, the Xiao Family’s attitude was extraordinarily tough.
If it weren’t for families like the Lin and Wang families fearing the growing power of the Xiao Family, following the Yu Family to maintain the same line, the Yu Family would possibly already have been unable to withstand the pressure.
Yu Tianji’s hair had turned white with worry, yet he couldn’t come up with any solution.
He angrily said, "Gao Xuan is really unforgiving when he holds the advantage! Damn it, damn it..."
Yu Tian Tao sighed, "Who could have thought such a guy would emerge from Taurus. Acts with total disregard, yet no one can suppress him."
To this point, the faces of the noble families have all been slapped swollen by Gao Xuan.
The problem is, they really have no way left. Even the action on Yu Canghai’s side, was determined after thorough preparation.
Yet, this seemingly 100% success rate plan failed.
Until now, they do not know why the plan failed. What exactly went wrong.
Yu Tian Tao asked, "Second Brother, have you contacted Hodder yet?"
They investigated that Gao Xuan had a deep-seated hatred with the Odin Family in the Sea Emperor Star Realm.
So, they wanted to contact Hodder of the Odin Family.
Rumor has it that this person has already been promoted to Gold level and is publicly declaring that he must avenge his brother Talos.
If they could invite Hodder over, dealing with Gao Xuan would be a breeze.
Even if Hodder is not up to it, Odin with its Golden Bloodline, is much stronger than the Hercules branch.
The Odin Family can casually send a few Golden Sword Saints to kill Gao Xuan as easily as killing a dog.
For this, the entire Yu Family has high hopes. This is also the most reliable solution.
However, Yu Tianji’s expression was a helpless one, "Hodder is extremely arrogant. He doesn’t want to come to the Twelve Star Domain. He knows Gao Xuan is going back to participate in the Sword Dao Alliance finals. He wants to kill Gao Xuan in the ring under the spotlight of thousands!"
Yu Tian Tao could only sigh. In the eyes of top noble families, they are all just country bumpkins with money.
Hodder’s lack of interest in coming over is also very normal.
From what this person said, he is also an arrogant guy who disregards everyone else.
"Gao Xuan is quite powerful, if Hodder, so arrogant, were to publicly lose to Gao Xuan, it would be quite the spectacle."
"It’s not impossible either..."
Yu Tianji sneered, "Talos was also hailed as a top genius, yet wasn’t he killed by Gao Xuan."
Because Hodder did not want to come over, the two from the Yu Family did not think much of him either.
