Chapter 335: A Good Chess Piece
Mr. Wei stood aside, watching the conversation between the Sect Master's wife and Yu Lingxi with cold eyes.
When he heard the Sect Master's wife resolutely express her intention to let Yu Lingxi and Lei Tingyi get married, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Madam, Lord Lei Zong wants to stop this marriage."
Mr. Wei spoke calmly, his voice revealing an indescribable coldness and threat.
Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader's wife laughed even more strangely.
"Then I'll kill him!"
When these words came out, Yu Lingxi and Mr. Wei were stunned.
They didn't expect that the Sect Master's wife would be so resolute and cruel. In order to facilitate this marriage, she even did not hesitate to attack Sect Master Lei.
"Ma'am, why are you doing this?"
Yu Lingxi tried to persuade him.
"Master Lei is your husband after all, how could you do that to him?"
However, the Sect Master's wife seemed not to have heard Yu Lingxi's words. She just sat there quietly, her eyes revealing a deep hatred and determination.
"Mr. Wei, what do you think?"
The clan leader's wife suddenly looked at Mr. Wei, and her voice revealed an indescribable complex emotion.
Mr. Wei pondered for a moment, his eyes cold.
"Madam, I think you should calm down. After all, Sect Master Lei is the leader of a sect. If he dies suddenly, it will inevitably cause chaos and turmoil in the Leixiao Sect. This is not a good thing for us."
Upon hearing this, the Sect Master's wife sneered.
"Chaos and turmoil? So what? As long as Tingyi and Lingxi can get married, I don't care about anything else!"
After saying that, she stood up abruptly, turned around and left the room.
Only Yu Lingxi and Mr. Wei were left looking at each other, with an indescribable fear and uneasiness in their hearts.
After the Sect Leader's wife walked away, Mr. Wei and Yu Lingxi smiled at each other, as if everything that had just happened was just part of their plan.
"Miss, look, isn't this Sect Master's wife being tightly controlled by us?"
Mr. Wei spoke in a gentle tone, with a smug gleam in his eyes.
Yu Lingxi curled her lips and smiled charmingly and cunningly.
"Yes! She thought she was in control of everything, but she didn't know that she had already fallen into our hands."
The two smiled at each other, as if they had seen the dawn of victory. They knew very well that as long as they could control the Sect Master's wife, they could control the entire Lei Xiao Sect.
The marriage between Lei Tingyi and Yu Lingxi was only part of their plan to consolidate their status and power.
"However, we cannot take it lightly."
Mr. Wei pondered for a moment, his expression solemn.
"Although Sect Master Lei is poisoned and unconscious, there are still other elders and disciples in the Leixiao Sect. We must find a way to stabilize them and not let them ruin our plan."
Yu Lingxi nodded, with a determined light in her eyes.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wei. I have a plan, and I believe I will be able to stabilize the situation in Lei Xiao Sect soon."
After saying that, she turned and left the room, ready to start implementing her plan.
Mr. Wei stayed where he was, watching her leave, with an indescribable sense of satisfaction and anticipation in his heart.
The Sect Leader's wife came to Sect Leader Lei's bedside with a sword in hand and a determined look on her face.
Her eyes were empty and cold, as if she had lost all emotion and reason.
Just as she was about to chop him down with her sword, Sect Master Lei’s life was in danger.
At this moment, Ling Jiuan rushed into the room like a flash of lightning, holding the Red Feather Sword in his hand, blocking the way of the sect leader's wife.
"lady!"
Ling Jiuan shouted, his voice revealing endless anxiety and worry.
"What are you doing? Are you really going to attack the Sect Master?"
When the Sect Master's wife heard this, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She looked at Ling Jiuan as if she was looking at a stranger, "You... why did you want to stop me? Don't you know that only when Tingyi and Lingxi get married can the Leixiao Sect be saved?"
Ling Jiuan took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner panic.
"Madam, I know you have your own plans, but killing the leader is definitely not the solution to the problem. What we need is unity and wisdom, not violence and cruelty."
However, the Sect Master's wife seemed not to have heard Ling Jiuan's words. She just stood there quietly, her eyes revealing a deep pain and helplessness.
"Ma'am, please calm down."
Ling Jiuan spoke again, an indescribable plea in his voice.
“I believe that as long as we work together, we can find a better solution.”
The Sect Leader's wife looked at Ling Jiuan, and a trace of rationality gradually returned to her eyes.
She took a deep breath and slowly put down the sword in her hand.
"Okay... I'll listen to you. But you have to guarantee that Tingyi and Lingxi will get married, and Leixiao Sect will be saved."
When Ling Jiuan heard this, he felt an indescribable joy and gratitude in his heart.
She knew that although the Sect Leader's wife was temporarily convinced, the crisis was far from over.
They must find a way to rescue Master Lei as soon as possible, while stopping the conspiracy of Mr. Wei and Yu Lingxi.
"Don't worry, ma'am. I will do my best to make everything alright."
However, at this moment, the Sect Master's wife's expression suddenly changed. The trace of rationality that had been restored seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness, and her eyes became empty and cold again.
She suddenly stabbed Ling Jiuan's dantian with the sword, and her movement was so fast that Ling Jiuan had almost no time to react.
"what!"
Ling Jiuan cried out in pain and felt a huge force hitting her body, as if it was going to tear her apart.
She tightly grasped the Akabane Sword, trying to block the attack from the Sect Master's wife, but the force was too strong and she could only barely support her body.
"Ma'am! What are you doing?"
Ling Jiuan spoke with difficulty, his voice revealing endless pain and confusion.
"We are together, why did you attack me?"
The Sect Leader's wife did not answer, but just looked at Ling Jiuan coldly, as if she was looking at a dying person.
Her eyes revealed an indescribable complex emotion, as if hiding endless secrets and conspiracies.
"Could it be that... you are completely controlled?"
Ling Jiuan suddenly thought of this possibility, and an indescribable fear and despair surged in his heart.
"This...how is this possible?"
She tried to struggle, but the force was too strong. She could only watch as the sword of the clan leader's wife pierced into her chest bit by bit.
"No... Madam, wake up!"
Ling Jiuan gritted his teeth and used all his strength to hold the Chiyu sword, trying to resist the attack of the sect leader's wife.
However, at this moment, a figure broke into the room like a ghost, grabbed the wife of the clan leader's wrist, and spoke in a cold tone.
"That's enough! Madam, what are you doing?"
