Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Setting a Trap_1

"He must be dead, right?" Qiao Anran, shaken by the ancestor’s sword, whispered.

Qiao Yuxuan sighed, "After the ancestor takes action, how can he survive?"

"Good riddance! Yet, even though we’ve taken revenge, your father still can’t be revived." Wang Haili shed tears in her grief.

"Mom, you mustn’t grieve too much. Look after your health," Qiao Anran comforted.

"The villain has been slain. You take care of the rest." After Qiao Jingwu had said this, he prepared to return to the loft to continue his seclusion.

At that moment, the debris and rubble covering Su Chengyu suddenly exploded. Su Chengyu sprung into the sky from the rubble and landed on another artificial hill.

Although Su Chengyu appeared ash-faced and in a pitiful state, with his torn clothes revealing his body armor, he had not suffered severe injuries.

"A Ninth Grade Grandmaster is indeed formidable. Thankfully, the True Dragon Reverse Scale and my body armor absorbed most of the force of the attack, or I’d be gravely wounded."

Su Chengyu was inwardly alarmed. Given his current state, he truly didn’t stand a chance against a Ninth Grade Grandmaster.

"Huh!? He’s still not dead?!" Everyone was likewise shocked.

Qiao Jingwu’s brows furrowed as he squinted, "You managed not to die from my sword strike. It seems you have some life-preserving techniques."

"It was pure luck, nothing more. I’m not fighting anymore, not fighting anymore! I didn’t kill Qiao Yuanting, and furthermore, he’s not even dead."

Su Chengyu brushed the dust off his body while hastily speaking.

"Nonsense! My elder brother was poisoned and has stopped breathing. Don’t think you can weasel your way out. I beg the ancestor to act again and kill this thief." Qiao Yuanfeng spoke loudly.

Qiao Jingwu raised his hand and pressed it down, his body’s energy immediately emerging once more.

"If killing you in one move didn’t work, then I’ll just try again!"

Seeing that Qiao Jingwu was about to strike again, Su Chengyu didn’t dare to take the blow. He yelled out, "Qiao Yuanting, wake up already! If I die, no one will be able to cure your poison!"

Su Chengyu’s words left everyone puzzled. Qiao Yuanting was clearly dead. How could he possibly come back to life?

"Quit your deceitful talking and your smoke and mirrors. How can a dead man come back to life? Ancestor, please act!" Qiao Yuanfeng said with a grim face.

"Wait, let me ascertain what the situation is!" Qiao Yuxuan stepped forward to speak.

"Shut up! He is your father’s killer."

Wang Haili grabbed Qiao Yuxuan, addressing Qiao Jingwu, "Ancestor, please avenge Yuanting."

Qiao Jingwu slightly nodded, raised his hand, and concentrated his Palm Seal. Su Chengyu again felt himself targeted by a formidable pressure, unable to evade Qiao Jingwu’s Palm Seal.

This palm strike was even more fierce than the previous sword strike. Any other Fourth Level Grandmaster would undoubtedly be turned into a pile of mush.

"Ancestor, please stay your hand!"

Just at this critical moment, with the assistance of a servant, Qiao Yuanting walked out of the courtyard. Qiao Jingwu withdrew his Palm Seal, and Su Chengyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Yuanting, seemingly miraculously alive, standing before them, startled everyone. They thought they were seeing a ghost.

"Yuanting?"

"Father?!"

Wang Haili rubbed her eyes in disbelief. Qiao Yuxuan siblings were also dumbfounded. Had Qiao Yuanting really come back from the dead?

Equally astonished and with unpleasant looks were Qiao Yuanfeng and Jiang Qi.

"What’s going on? What is all this?" Qiao Yuanfeng asked.

Jiang Qi shook his head and said, "I have no idea! I just checked his pulse and heartbeat and was certain that Mr. Qiao was dead."

Qiao Yuanting soothed Wang Haili, then looked coldly at Qiao Yuanfeng, angrily declaring, "Let me tell you what happened. You’re disappointed to see me alive, aren’t you?"

"Brother, what are you talking about? I’d be thrilled to see you alive. It’s great if you aren’t dead. We misunderstood Mr. Su," Qiao Yuanfeng hastily replied.

"Stop pretending! I heard everything you and Jiang Qi said earlier. If I hadn’t heard it myself, I wouldn’t believe that my own brother had been scheming with Jiang Qi to kill me this whole time."

Qiao Yuanting was furious, but above all, he was heartbroken.

"Brother, listen to my explanation. It was all a misunderstanding," Qiao Yuanfeng pleaded.

"Enough! I won’t believe a word you say. Qiao Yuanfeng, you are my brother. You poisoned me and even planned to harm my wife and children. You are ruthless!" Qiao Yuanting exploded.

With rage in his eyes, Qiao Yuanting turned to Wang Haili and said, "Haili, let me explain what’s been happening."

Qiao Yuanting then explained the whole affair to everyone present.

After Su Chengyu entered the room, he used his mana to cure Qiao Yuanting. Then he suggested a plan to fake Qiao Yuanting’s death, to set a trap for Qiao Yuanfeng and Jiang Qi, after he had woken and revealed their conspiracy to him.

Su Chengyu put Qiao Yuanting into a state of suspended animation, making him appear dead, but still able to hear everything around him.

Everything unfolded as Su Chengyu had predicted. Qiao Yuanfeng accused him of poisoning Qiao Yuanting, with Jiang Qi reinforcing the claim, and then they attempted to have Su Chengyu killed.

At this point, Qiao Yuanting mostly believed Su Chengyu, but held out hope due to his brotherly affection, hoping that it’s just a misunderstanding. That hope was shattered when he heard the exchange between Jiang Qi and Qiao Yuanfeng, revealing to him the truth about Qiao Yuanfeng.

Jiang Qi and Qiao Yuanfeng were instantly devastated as they realized what would happen to them now that their plot had been exposed.

Qiao Yuanfeng fell to his knees, pleading through his tears, "Brother, I was wrong. Spare me. I promise I’ll never do it again."

Despite everything, Qiao Yuanting found it hard to be ruthless to his own brother who was kneeling right in front of him.

"Uncle Yuan, Grandfather, please spare me. I don’t want to die. I was muddle-headed, misguided into doing all this." Qiao Yuanfeng banged his head on the ground hysterically, blood oozing from his forehead.

"Yuanting, the first rule of the Qiao family is no fratricide. You can’t be soft-hearted," Qiao Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, Uncle Yuan. But he is my blood brother. He was immoral, but I must not be unrighteous. I would ask Uncle Yuan to strip him of his martial arts, break his legs, and confine him in the backyard for life. As for his children, they would be removed from the Qiao’s family records and expelled from the family. Does it sound acceptable to Uncle Yuan?" Qiao Yuanting proposed.

"So be it, we’ll follow your decision."

Qiao Xiuyuan walked over to Qiao Yuanfeng, who scrambled to escape, but was captured and instantly crippled, eliciting a blood-curdling scream.

Knowing he couldn’t escape the Qiao family with his abilities, Jiang Qi collapsed to the ground.

"How could this happen? Our plan was seamless. How could it be discovered?" Jiang Qi lamented in despair.

"Your plan was indeed seamless, but you shouldn’t have brought me to the Qiao family, thinking to use them to take me out. Your cleverness became your downfall." Su Chengyu jumped down from the rockery, stood in front of Jiang Qi, and looked down on him condescendingly.

"How did you figure it out?" Jiang Qi demanded indignantly.

"Alright, I’ll let its essence be revealed to you when you die!" Su Chengyu patiently explained to Jiang Qi.
