713: Chapter 702: Making a Move Against the Yunteng Family 713: Chapter 702: Making a Move Against the Yunteng Family “Big brother…”
Lying in bed, Shangguan Tenglong looked at Shangguan Tanglong’s expression and sensed something was amiss.
After Teng Huayang said he would use Gu Insects to treat them, Shangguan Tanglong quickly arrived at Shangguan Tenglong’s room.
“It seems the Yunteng Family really wants to treat our Shangguan Family like a mere dog!”
Shangguan Tanglong said bitterly, struggling in his gaze.
If they truly let Teng Huayang plant Gu Insects in Shangguan Tenglong, what it implied didn’t need further explanation.
The person who was implanted with the Gu Insects of the Yunteng Family would become the Yunteng Family’s puppet, their life completely controlled by them.
Hearing this, Shangguan Tenglong’s face also changed.
“You may have to lie in bed for a while longer.”
“Why?”
“Teng Huayang is planning to use Gu Insects to treat you, you are the Family Head of the Shangguan Family, if you were also implanted with Gu Insects, then what purpose does our Shangguan Family have?”
Even the Family Head’s life lying in the grasp of Yunteng family, isn’t this a mere existence in name only?
Although there are younger generations, whether it’s Shangguan Yunyang, the First Son of the Shangguan Family, or others, they still need time to grow; the burden of the family can’t yet be placed on them.
“Gu Insects…
I see, the Yunteng Family wants to push us into a dead end!”
Shangguan Tenglong had more or less guessed what was going on.
The Yunteng Family wanted to use this opportunity to completely control the lifeblood of the Shangguan Family, making them thoroughly a dog of the Yunteng Family.
Now they are like fish on the chopping board with no possibility of resistance.
If it weren’t for the serious depletion of their vital energy, they might still have room to negotiate, but now, the entire Shangguan Family is solely dependent on Shangguan Tanglong’s desperate support.
What terms could they negotiate with?
Since it was already unchangeable, Shangguan Tanglong could only make some final struggles, at least Shangguan Tenglong should not be controlled by the Yunteng Family.
Apart from using Gu Insects, there were other methods that could potentially heal Shangguan Tenglong, so he could bear it for the time being.
“Then let the Yunteng Family make their move, big brother, do you have any assurance after that?”
“Any assurance?”
Shangguan Tanglong gave a self-deprecating smile, even somewhat puzzled by what Shangguan Tenglong meant.
What was he referring to?
“If you are talking about your health, I still have some ways.
Our Shangguan Family cannot lose its sovereignty; bear with it for now.”
After saying this, Shangguan Tanglong left Shangguan Tenglong’s room and then found Teng Huayang and Teng Dong, taking them to meet the Object-Manipulating Twin Evils.
Under Teng Huayang’s urging, Teng Dong had already prepared the Gu Insects.
The Object-Manipulating Twin Evils, each had one leg and one arm disabled, and they were in poor condition.
Because Shangguan Tanglong had previously found the Holy Medicine, they didn’t opt for amputation and had been postponing since Ning Fan’s visit.
Their muscle tissues had necrotized, which might cost both their lives.
“Impressive that you could still hold out.”
Teng Dong said with a sneer, if they delayed any longer, not only would their limbs be beyond saving, but they might also lose their lives.
“You can go out now.”
Before preparing, Teng Dong looked at Shangguan Tanglong and Shangguan Yunyang, seemingly unwilling to let them stay in the room.
Shangguan Yunyang’s face changed, wanting to say something, but Shangguan Tanglong stopped him with his hand, giving him a reminding glance.
“Yunyang, come out with me.”
The two could only leave the room, giving up the space to them.
Watching the two leave, Teng Dong disdainfully curled his lip.
“Hurry up and start, the Gu Insects you’ve prepared should be enough,” he said.
“Yes, young master, it’s just that I fear we must leave one alive,”
“Hmm?”
“Shangguan Tanglong probably doesn’t plan to let Shangguan Tenglong implant the Gu Insects,”
Thinking about it, it made sense.
If even the Family Head of the Shangguan Family were implanted with Gu Insects, then the entirety of the Shangguan Family would essentially be extinct, though now it wasn’t far from that.
Afterwards, although many experts from the Shangguan Family would recover their strength following today, they would still be limited by the Yunteng Family; the Yunteng Family had essentially seized control over a large part of the Shangguan Family’s fate.
“Who cares what they think, what waves could one Shangguan Family still make?”
Teng Huayang didn’t care how Shangguan Tanglong decided.
After all, the Shangguan Family could only become a dog of the Yunteng Family, could they possibly have any other choice?
On the other hand, Shangguan Tanglong and his nephew Yunyang stood outside the door, both bearing starkly different expressions.
Although the elder, Shangguan Tanglong, did not look very good, he suppressed it well, while Yunyang was on the verge of exploding.
Even now, Yunyang hated Teng Huayang more than he hated Ning Fan, his hatred for the latter having diminished a bit.
Despite being so unwilling internally, there was nothing that could be changed.
“Uncle, what will become of the Shangguan Family now?”
With most of their fate controlled by the Yunteng Family, was their family’s destiny just to be hand over like this?
The taste of fate controlled by others was indeed bitter.
“Endure!”
Shangguan Tanglong had only one word, endure!
Now, aside from enduring, there was no other way for the Shangguan Family, as their ambitions were fiercely gripped in someone else’s hand.
In the past, the Shangguan Family had thought that one day they might break free from the control, but now such thoughts seemed like a dream.
“Ah!!!!”
Not long after, a chillingly dreadful scream echoed from within the room, and judging by the voices, it belonged to the Twin Evils.
It was hard to imagine what sort of pain they had endured to emit such screams.
Hearing this, cold sweat involuntarily broke out on Yunyang’s forehead.
Approximately half an hour later, the screaming inside the room finally subsided slightly, but the agonized cries of the Twin Evils could still be heard.
Squeak —
The door suddenly opened, Teng Huayang walked out followed closely by Teng Dong.
“Let’s go, next one.”
Teng Huayang said somewhat bored, watching had been a waste of time for him.
“Those two will need just one night to rest, hurry up, don’t dawdle,”
Thinking that Shangguan Tanglong and another seemed to want to check on the condition of the Twin Evils, Teng Huayang urged them.
After the Gu Insects were implanted, the injuries of the Twin Evils were forcibly reversed; the price was draining their life.
Now, lying in the room, the Twin Evils had hair that had turned white, looking utterly lifeless, as if they had aged a dozen years.
However, Shangguan Tanglong was not yet aware of the Twin Evil’s current condition; otherwise, even he might be shocked by their current state.
Without lingering, Shangguan Tanglong led Teng Huayang and Teng Dong to the rooms of other injured individuals.
Each time, they could only helplessly stand outside, hearing the screams and clenching their fists.
Inside the Shangguan mansion, screams continued incessantly, causing Yunyang’s cold sweat to flow, while Shangguan Tanglong’s face appeared grim as water.
“That’s enough, Teng Dong, let’s set off as soon as possible,”
