THE LIGHTNING EMPEROR

The Mu Yuan Plan

***

"Master Mu, I don't know what else to pay for Master's kindness with?"

"Brother Zui doesn't need to say that, the Mu Clan and Fang Clan are like two brothers who can't be separated, so it's your duty to help your own brother, isn't it?"

Fang Zui smiled wryly, ever since his Clan was destroyed and left only half of its members, Mu Yuan was constantly providing assistance, be it in the form of goods and manpower.

Currently the condition of the Fang Clan is really bad, even though the Mu Clan has provided assistance in the form of social funds ranging from building repairs and so on, but the Fang Clan still has difficulty getting back up.

Two markets belonging to the Fang Clan are now controlled by the Hun Clan, though the Mu Clan and the Ghost Valley Group as well as the Flying Knives were willing to reclaim the assets of the Fang Clan that the Hun Clan had forcibly seized.

It was just that Fang Zui could not fulfill the wishes of the Mu Clan and the two groups that wanted to help him, not without reason, Fang Zui did not want any more casualties from the side of the Mu Clan and the two loyal groups supported him.

Not to mention Fang Xian's condition of constantly wanting to go to the Peach Tree Mountain Sect to save his wife, if there were no Mu Yuan and Gu Fei Ming, perhaps Fang Xian would be hard to be there.

King Chang Hanzi himself did not interfere too much in the matter, he as the king was also confused to choose where he would side.

The greatest view to side with was the Peach Tree Mountain Sect supported by the Hun Clan and several other Factions, as well, but considering that the Peach Tree Mountain Sect was also allied with the Snake Head Killer Group and the Moon Shadow Group, King Chang had to reconsider his options.

"Will Senior Mu Zhi Tian really come?" ask Fang Zui.

"That's for sure, he'll send a message if he's coming!" replied Mu Yuan.

"Dad look at this! There was an announcement that in the Peach Tree Mountain Sect would hold a competition to find talented new disciples in two days!" said a young girl who had a pretty face.

"Then?" Mu Yuan asked as he raised his eyebrows.

"Can Ling'er take part in the competition? Who knew Ling'er could escape and become a disciple of the Peach Tree Mountain Sect," said the girl named Mu Yi Ling, Mu Yuan's 15-year-old daughter.

"Dad won't let you!" said Mu Yuan.

Fang Zui only silently listened to Mu Yi Ling who wanted to take part in the talented new disciple candidacy competition.

No one was not tempted to be able to become a disciple in a Sect as big as the Peach Tree Mountain Sect, that Sect that was very skilled in swordplay gave birth to many talented disciples, but all students are chosen who have acceptable potential.

Mu Yi Ling was currently already at the Yu Zhe Level 7 Stage, if she were to take part in that competition, perhaps Mu Yi Ling only had a 30-point chance of being accepted.

The problem was that the Mu Clan and the Peach Tree Mountain Sect had been troubled ever since the Mu Clan had always supported the Fang Clan, therefore Mu Yuan did not agree if his daughter should become a member of the Peach Tree Mountain Sect.

"But dad..!"

"Don't argue with me again, if you say no yes no!" mu Yuan's.

Mu Yi Ling immediately bowed then passed away feeling disappointed, after which Mu Lianli came over to her daughter to calm her down.

"Master Mu, shouldn't it be best to let Miss Yi Ling enter the competition?" asked Fang Zui who felt sorry for Mu Yi Ling.

"No Brother Zui, I already consider the Peach Tree Mountain Sect as my enemy, moreover you don't know the nature of this princess yet! He is very stubborn and difficult to manage, this is because we have spoiled him too much since he was a child, and now this child is growing up to be a child who wants to win by himself," Mu Yuan said.

Fang An smiled as he said, "It's not natural for children his age to behave like that, one day after he grows up, he will definitely change," Fang Zui said.

"Forget that we don't have to go over this matter, now that we're discussing what steps we'll take next in order to be able to free Fang Xian's mistress?"

Fang Zui thought for a moment then shook his head slowly. "Nothing can be done" he said.

"That's the one we don't know! They say a Gem thing or something that has a Purple color, let alone they say this object is the main valuable object of the Fang Clan," said Fang Zui.

"Then try to remember what is the most precious thing that the Fang Clan has? Is it an heirloom, or something else?"

"If something that belongs to the Fang Clan's most precious yes exists, it's just that I've never seen it since the one who holds the necklace is only the pure descendant of the Fang Clan, namely Brother Xian," replied Fang Zui.

"Callong? But they didn't say necklaces, but Purple Gems, so that's not what they might have asked for" Mu Yuan said, then he looked at his daughter who was with her mother.

"I have Brother Zui's plan!" said Mu Yuan.

"Plan? Plan for what?" ask Fang Zui.

"The rescue plan is Mrs Fang Xian," Mu Yuan replied.

"What's the plan?"

"As told by my daughter! We will take advantage of the competition held by the Peach Tree Mountain Sect!"

Fang Zui was slightly surprised to hear that, yet he still listened to Mu Yuan's plan.

Mu Yuan intended to send some youths to take part in the competition, and the few youths that would be sent were the chosen youths.

The moment the competition began, all the Sect members would definitely focus on the new Candidates, and by then, he and a few people would sneak inside.

Of course Mu Yuan had to know the description of the location as well as the situation as well as the path within the sect, and it was the duty of the chosen youths who were running for disciples to make a road route towards the prison.

If the plan fails and the strong fighters the Tree Mountain Sect has attacked them, Mu Yuan is not afraid, since the plan would involve her brother Mu Zhi Tian who would later become her flagship card, not to mention that she would ask for help from the Ghost Valley Group and Flying Knives in order to send their best Fighters.

"It's too risky, it's not right to have to lose so many lives from the Mu Clan members and our other allies just for the sake of saving one person!" said Fang Zui who was like to disagree with Mu Yuan's plan.

Although the effect is quite easy, but if it is discovered there will be a big fight later, so this is not an infiltration plan, but will attack secretly.

"Yes I am aware of that, but it is not a matter of victimization that I want to convey, but rather of the tightness between allied relations, from here we can know which is really our ally, from which, and which is not, because there are several small Clans and small groups that are included in the planning list," Mu Yuan said.

"But Master Mu Yuan..!"

"Brother Zui, if we don't take any action, they will belittle us even more, the longer they will become - so because they assume we don't have the courage to fight! Trust me, we will fight together to save Madame Fang Xian," said Mu Yuan whose plan would not be cancelled.

Fang Zui was speechless and deeply rooted in Mu Yuan's words himself, he also knew that if he remained silent without doing anything they would definitely come to attack because he considered the Fang Clan and its allies to be extremely weak and timid.

"How do you still doubt?" asked Mu Yuan again because Fang Zui was still thinking.

"Well, Master Mu, if it really does have to be this way in the end, there seems to be no other way but to follow your plan!" fang Zui said.

"Then we will inform Gu Fei Ming of this, he will definitely be willing to come with us" Mu Yuan said.

"Alright Master Mu, I must return immediately to convey this matter to Brother Xian, I'm sure he will definitely agree right away! I'm Pamit first," Fang Zui said then he immediately got up and would immediately inform Fang Xian of this plan.

"I will come with you, I have also invited the chiefs of our allies to gather at your house and talk about this," Mu Yuan said then he got up to leave with Fang Zui.

Fang Zui really did not expect if Mu Yuan had prepared all of that beforehand, he and Mu Yuan rushed off to Chang City to have a meeting tomorrow night.
