Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God-Chapter 1320: Chaos Begins

Lin Changge's messengers swiftly returned to the Mountain Villa and found the three Elders who had stayed behind, narrating the entire sequence of events.

"The Lu Family is rebelling?"

This news undoubtedly shocked the three quite a bit, for the Lu Family was the largest non-Lin Family clan associated with the Divine Sword Manor.

The Lu Family alone had hundreds of direct relatives, and they even established their own camp, which within the Lin Family was equivalent to establishing a small faction.

"Our Lin Family has treated the Lu Family generously over the years, even bestowing them with favor, otherwise, how could the Lu Family have grown to their current power."

"Now it seems, the Lu Family are like ungrateful wolves, with the ambition of wolves, likely having long planned to take the place of our Lin Family as the master."

"Alright, what use is talking about this now; the pressing matter is how to handle it."

"Is there even a need to think? Immediately gather forces, though the Lu Family might have planned well, they didn't expect to be caught in the act; now we are prepared, can the Lu Family truly cause a storm."

"Hmph, if only it were that simple."

The Third Elder shook his head slightly, looking at the Fourth Elder and the Sixth Elder across from him.

"The Lu Family claims the title of the leading non-Lin Family Elder, having recruited many non-Lin Family Guest Elders. Although these Guest Elders mostly stand alone, together they are a formidable force."

"The Lu Family's betrayal, do you think this is a spur-of-the-moment decision? For all we know, the Lu Family had already secretly allied with several Guest Elders."

"Even if these people remain neutral, it is not good news for us, much less as they are unreliable; currently, only our own Lin Family members can be counted on."

"The Family Head took away three Elders, as well as two of the Four Directions Sword Servants; currently, only Beicheng Feng remains among the Sword Servants, but the four Sword Servants can be trusted. First, send someone to invite Beicheng Feng."

"Additionally, there are the Inner Sect disciples; although the Family Head took a batch of elite ones, there are still three hundred Lin Family disciples in the Inner Sect."

"We cannot mobilize everyone; half should remain to guard the Mountain Villa, and the other half will descend the mountain. Also, select three hundred Lin Family members from the Outer Sect to make five hundred. Beicheng Feng and I will lead this group to suppress the chaos."

"As for the other Lin Family disciples, they should also stand ready, with you two overseeing. If anyone causes trouble, suppress them immediately."

The Third Elder was undoubtedly a decisive and ruthless figure, having immediately formed a comprehensive plan.

"Alright, we'll do as you say."

Though the seven branches of the Lin Family usually vied for power and had many disputes, at this moment, concerning the Lin Family's foundation, they were united.

"Beicheng Feng, greetings to the three elders."

"Beicheng Sword Servant, there's no need for many words. Our Lin Family is currently facing a huge crisis. According to reliable information, the Lu Family has already betrayed us."

"Hmm? The Lu Family betrayed us?"

Beicheng Feng looked quizzically at the Third Elder.

The Third Elder said: "This is no need for doubt. We're not saying this just to eradicate the Lu Family; in fact, we only just received this information."

"Since last night, Lu Family members seized the helipad and secretly relocated most people from Lu Family Camp. Now Lu Family Camp is deserted, indicating the Lu Family is prepared to destroy everything to accomplish their goals."

"Currently, the Lu Family elites are all at the helipad. I estimate they will soon launch a surprise attack on those guarding the Mountain Villa."

"Had someone not luckily escaped last night and returned to report, we'd still be in the dark. If at this very moment the Lu Family assaulted the Mountain Villa, without our knowledge, the consequences would be severe."

"The Family Head's Kunlun mission took away three Elders, two Sword Servants, and many elite Inner Sect members, essentially deploying the Mountain Villa's best force."

"Lu Yun, that old scoundrel, is no weakling; if he allied with other non-family Elders, Beicheng Sword Servant, you should know our forces may not be able to withstand them."

"Beicheng Sword Servant, we don't have time to ponder; perhaps the Lu Family has already begun their action."

"Changge headed with some people to the helipad; if the Lu Family acts, they might already be in contact. He is likely no match for that old scoundrel Lu Yun."

"Hmm."

Beicheng Feng nodded, though still somewhat stunned by the Lu Family's betrayal, but now truly had no time to verify each detail.

Immediately, the Third Elder began ordering the assembly of forces, though this would take time. Coordinating over a hundred Inner Sect disciples and three hundred Outer Sect disciples while avoiding alarming the Lu Family's potential allies into retaliation.

"Young Master, why haven't the Lin Family moved?"

Li Feng peered through the dense forest at Lin Changge and his group, who were hiding on the opposite side. Lin Changge's group was small, only a little over thirty people.

"He probably realizes his strength is insufficient, so he's waiting for reinforcements."

Li Feng answered.

"Lin Changge is shrewd and, along with Lu Yun's warning yesterday, though outwardly, the Lin Family and Lu Family seem harmonious, keenly aware of growing wary of the ever-expanding Lu Family."

"Likewise, the Lu Family feels similarly, understanding their expansion would inevitably provoke the Lin Family's caution, hence their overtures to others outside the family for solid footing."

"This is like a false proposition."

"The Lin Family grows powerful, so naturally, the Lu Family attached to them would expand. Yet, the Lin Family isn't like those ancient martial sects, large enough to accommodate diverse surnames and individuals."

"The Lin Family is a noble family, a single lineage, and for them, the Lu Family members are indeed dependents, servants."

"However, as these dependents grow stronger, they become less obedient and develop individual demands, intolerable to the Lin Family."

"As a result, whether out of ambition or self-preservation, the Lu Family continues strengthening to avoid becoming a pawn at the mercy of others. Yet the more they grow, the less the Lin Family can tolerate them."

"So the conflict between the two families deepens and is ultimately irreconcilable."

"What I've done is merely expedite this conflict."

"Since the old man Lu Yun misunderstood us as being sent by the Lin Family to eradicate them, I simply went along with it without clarification."

"I had everyone moved out of the Lu Family Camp, creating the illusion for Lu Yun that the Lin Family was set to completely eradicate the Lu Family's sore spot; the removal of ordinary members and a strike on the core was perfectly logical."

"I had Long Ya slightly provoke with words; given Lu Yun's imperious nature, and now faced with his family on the brink, his fury was to be expected."

"Meanwhile, misinformation would lead the Lin Family to believe the Lu Family betrayed us; seeing the empty Lu Family Camp, they would naturally assume the Lu Family had premeditated it, especially with Lin Dong taking the finest batch to Kunlun, leaving the Lin Family vulnerable."

"Now, both the Lin and Lu sides have no alternative; unless Lin Dong arrives to oversee both sides, a showdown is inevitable."

"We only need to watch from the sidelines as the tiger and wolf clash and step in afterward to seize the situation."
