Weapon seller in the world of magic
chapter-85

He's Sui Weisheng, once in a century genius Archer and the future Patriarch of the clan. This thirty-year-old young man is the one that runs the clan behind the scenes.

The Patriarch opened his mouth, "So, um, the reason I summoned you here is… is… is… about… about…"

"Uncle, elite members." The young man leaned his head and slowly whispered in his uncle's ears.

"Ah, yes, three of our Elite members were killed by someone as they were pursuing a criminal. Their life crystals were shattered. And… and… and…" As the Patriarch is stuttering again due to nervousness, his nephew once again whispered something.

He continued, "And the radiance in Elder Hanying's life crystal is dwindling. So, he too was defeated by this same criminal."

The Elders were stunned for a moment when they heard the news. After all, Sui Hanying is a six-circle realm expert, who is close to being in the advanced stage. To defeat him is something only a powerful spirit warrior with high status can do it. Not to mention, everyone knows that Sui Hanying is close to the Grand Elder.

They wondered who this criminal is inviting death.

It was then the young man opened his mouth, "His name is Lu Zhen, the only seller of those unique weapons called Pistol and bullet. He is also the one that went rampage in Song Clan's Mansion and sent Song Yun into a state of deep sleep.

According to what we know so far, he and his servant got into conflict with the nobles and extorted 10,000 gold coins. If it is only once, it would have been alright. But, it has happened the same with Meng, Qian, and Lie Clans. And that too, in the span of mere two days. It was out of the ordinary.

So, I believe he purposely used some means to get in conflict with them. There was also news that his servant is a peerless beauty, which captivates a man's heart with a single look.

It might have been exaggerated but I believe he might have lured them using her and used it to his advantage.

Our subordinate clans are targeted and extorted. So, we can safely assume that this man is purposely targeted our clan. But, why? We don't know the reasons, so far. I suspect someone probably hired him to trouble us. Once we capture him, we will know it."

"What about the Imperial Palace? Why haven't they taken any action when a minister was injured? Not to mention, Song Yun was close to the Emperor." An elder asked him curiously. The Song Clan incident was well known all across the Empire but most people don't know the identity of the person that did it. This Elder is also hearing the name for the first time. Considering the surname Lu didn't have any noble status in the Empire, he wondered what sort of background Lu Zhen has.

To his question, Sui Weisheng replied, "it doesn't matter, Elder Peng. This is Sui Clan's territory. Here, the law lies in our hands. We won't spare both of them."

He took out a scroll from his storage ring and handed it to his uncle. "This is an order from Grand Elder."

The Patriarch once again took the lead of the conversation and read the order. Four of the remaining nine elders were deployed to apprehend the two criminals and bring back the heavily wounded Elder.

The Elders looked at each other.

After all, except during the dungeon break nearly a decade ago, four elders were never deployed by the Grand Elder. This explains how serious the Grand Elder is taking the matter.

At the same time, they were also satisfied with how their future Patriarch is putting up a good performance. In their eyes, he was already qualified to take the mantle from this cowardly Patriarch.

"We aren't aware of his whereabouts but I think it's best to ambush at its home and drag them with you. It's also important not to indulge in any talks. There's no need of giving any warnings either. All of you just…" As the young master of the Sui Clan is giving further instructions, all of a sudden, a clan member enters the room and interrupts the meeting.

"Greetings, Patriarch. Greetings Young master," He greeted the two of them with a bow.

"What is it?" The young man asked him with a frown on his face as his words were cut off.

"Our scouts witnessed a strange object in the skies. We don't know what it is but it seems to be made of metal and is flying straight towards our clan district." He informed him.

Everyone became alerted, right away. After all, the unknown is what fears the human.

But, Sui Weisheng was calm and passed the orders. "Everyone, let's get the Archers and Mages, ready. I will shoot it down, myself if it's necessary."

*Boom*

As soon as his words ended, a huge explosion occurred above them, destroying a part of the ceiling and things started to fall on them.

"Everyone, be careful." Sui Weisheng shouted while taking out a bow from his storage ring. Pointing at the flames at the ceiling, he conjured an arrow and shot towards it.

The arrow released a torrent of water, extinguishing the flames. However, the elders standing on the floor couldn't escape from being drenched as a result.

He then quickly passed the orders. "Elder Peng, protect uncle. You two over there…"

He pointed at the two guards who were standing in the corner, "get my mother and aunt to safety."

"Four of you will erect a barrier over the clan district. If this is a projectile attack from that unidentified flying object, then, he shouldn't enter our compound. And by chance, if the enemy is already here, then, he shouldn't escape.

The remaining will engage with the enemy along with me. Let's see which bastard dared to challenge us, so openly." Sui Weisheng rushed outside. He had a strong inkling that it might be Mark because the latter was the only one that possessed strange weapons. This is why he didn't hesitate to take such extreme measures.

When he got outside, he looked at the sky. There was no one nearby but, after a few seconds, he saw a dot far away that slowly became bigger as it came towards them.

He kicked the ground and jumped onto the roof and saw the attack helicopter is flying towards them. It was only a couple of hundred meters away.

He raised his bow and conjured an energy arrow made of ether. Strangely, there were sparks of lightning over the arrow. Earlier, he displayed an arrow that released water. So, it clearly indicates that he's a water attribute user. But, now, he could use lightning.

"Those who challenge the Sui Clan will meet their demise, no matter who they are." Sui Weisheng pulled the string harder and released the arrow to shoot down the helicopter without any warning.

Just as he released it, a missile was fired by the attack helicopter. Before the arrow even went ten meters far away from Sui Weisheng, the missile already hit the arrow, causing another explosion, blasting him, ten meters away. But, as he wasn't hit directly, Sui Weisheng was unharmed, except for little scratches here and there.
