God of War Ye Fan: Sexy sister-in-law insisted on marrying me
Chapter 870 - 870: Exhuming the Coffin to Conduct an Autopsy? This is Outrageous!Northwest An City.
Lu Family.
Ye Fan, transformed into Fan Ye, raised a storm in the Capital, nearly uprooting all the forces under Prince Jin’s command, and devouring all their accumulated resources.
However, in terms of time, only a few days had actually passed.
At the Lu Family, the memorial hall that Lu Yuwei had set up for Ye Fan was still in place.
And today was the day of Ye Fan’s funeral.
For the past few days, the entire Lu Family Courtyard seemed to be enveloped in an invisible, dense gloom, creating an atmosphere so heavy and oppressive that it left people breathless.
The attack and murder of Ye Fan was a massive blow to the Lu Family.
Worse still, following this incident, the situation in the Northwest rapidly deteriorated, like a row of dominoes toppling over, triggering a vicious cycle.
Currently, Lu Yuwei, clad in hemp and mourning, was busy in the memorial hall, preparing for the funeral arrangements.
Meanwhile, the Lu Family’s Second Master, Lu Zhongting, the top expert Wei Zhengyang, and Aunt Lu Xue, who managed the family’s finances, among other Lu Family high-ranking members, were gathered outside the memorial hall.
Everyone’s brows were furrowed, filled with worry.
“Yuwei is truly devoted and heartfelt, and her deep love for Ye Fan is just heartbreaking to see.”
“Sigh, the Ye Family truly is beset by misfortune, first losing seven brothers and three uncles all at once. We thought that with Ye Fan’s rapid rise, hailed as the Qilin Child, he could recreate the Ye Family’s glory, but unexpectedly… sigh!”
“It’s indeed very touching that Yuwei insisted on setting up a memorial hall for him here in the Lu Family Courtyard, but after all, she’s not yet married into the Lu Family. It’s somewhat inappropriate.”
“We have let her have her way with this, but escorting the coffin and sending it up the mountain is different. If a woman does such a thing, it would be tantamount to declaring herself a widow, destined to never marry again. We absolutely can’t let her be so reckless.”
“All these are minor concerns, what I’m more worried about are the Eight Great Families.”
“Those guys have been more active recently, extremely pleased with themselves, having even bought off Tianji Pavilion, Tiankui Base, and the Mortal Alliance. They are rampant.”
“With such arrogance, I’m afraid they’ll kick us when we’re down. After assassinating Ye Fan, they won’t even let the funeral pass without causing trouble, using their power to pressure us.”
“I’ve heard that even Guo Li, Songyang, Yu Qiang, and Wang Fugui have been bought off. If the Eight Great Families really cause trouble today, how could our Lu Family possibly stand up to them?”
“When people are gone, even the tea cools; when a tree falls, the monkeys scatter.”
While they were talking, a voice suddenly rang out from inside the memorial hall, “The auspicious time is approaching, prepare to carry out the coffin for the funeral…”
The Lu Family high-ranking members exchanged glances.
After heaving a deep sigh, they were about to enter the memorial hall when suddenly the courtyard outside erupted in chaos, with a group of people barging in arrogantly.
A few Lu Family members who tried to stop them were sent flying and spitting blood, struggling to rise after falling to the ground.
This group numbered over a hundred, with the Family Heads of the Du Family, Xiang Family, Zhou Family, and Liu Family, among the Eight Great Families, at the forefront.
Following the eight of them were the elite backbone of each family, all above the rank of Martial Venerable, with even several Martial Emperors among them, their arrogance running rampant.
Lu Zhongting, Wei Zhengyang, and the other Lu Family high-levels trembled, their faces turning pale in an instant.
What they feared had come to pass.
They had just been worrying about the Eight Great Families bullying them by causing trouble on the day of Ye Fan’s funeral, and before they could finish talking, the people had arrived.
Today, in this Lu Family Courtyard, a confrontation and conflict seemed inevitable.
The commotion clearly alarmed everyone inside the memorial hall.
Lu Yuwei was the first to come out, her eyes wide with fury and shining with a murderous intent as she sharply scolded, “What are you doing here? The Lu Family does not welcome you!”
“The insignificant Lu Family, what do they count for? Whether you welcome me or not, I truly couldn’t care less!”
Patriarch Du stepped forward, hands clasped behind his back, his demeanor arrogant and his presence wildly overbearing.
As he spoke, he gestured towards the ancestral hall, “Make way this instant, or don’t blame me for being impolite. Today, we are going to… exhume and perform a post-mortem examination!”
Whoosh!
At these words, the area inside and outside the ancestral hall instantly erupted into a buzz of commotion.
Lu Zhongting, Wei Zhengyang, and the rest of the Lu Family high-ranking members trembled with fury.
This was an intolerable affront!
The coffin had already been sealed and was about to be taken out for the funeral procession. How could they bring up exhuming for a post-mortem at this point?
This was, without a doubt, an outright slap in the face of the Lu Family.
Indeed, if they were to open the coffin, not only would they be laughed at by outsiders, but more importantly, it would also be a sinister and inauspicious act, wouldn’t it?
“The Eight Great Families, you are taking this too far!”
Lu Yuwei was so infuriated she nearly coughed up blood, her clenched fists white at the knuckles, “Ye Fan has already been killed by you, his body reduced to ashes, with only a few fragments found to be cremated.”
“And yet, you do not even let him rest in peace, you come to humiliate and disgrace us on the day of his funeral. How despicable can you be, to do such evil without fearing retribution from the heavens?”
The Lu Family members gathered in the courtyard also showed their indignation, with some spontaneously grouping behind Lu Yuwei, clearly not willing to give an inch and ready to fight.
To everyone present, the demand from the Eight Great Families this time was truly unreasonable.
Ye Fan had just been killed in an explosion, and they had already collected some fragments from the crater for DNA identification.
Yet, what Lu Yuwei found later was nothing more than a few remains that had been cremated, and here they were, demanding to open the coffin for examination on the day of the funeral.
Such a pretext is not only despicable but also brazen.
It was clear that they didn’t even feel the need to conceal their intentions—it was a blatant act of bullying the Lu Family!
“What if it’s turned to ashes? It can still undergo DNA identification.”
Patriarch Du waved his hand impatiently, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, his eyes flashing fiercely, “If you know what’s good for you, get out of the way now. You cannot stop me.”
“In any case, today Ye Fan’s coffin will be opened, and anybody daring to obstruct will not blame us for… a bloodbath in the Lu Family!”
This was no empty threat or intimidation.
Patriarch Du’s power surged through his body, the overwhelming aura of a Martial Emperor spreading an invisible oppression.
Dust swirled up from the ground, and the hum of vibrating air was faintly audible.
It was clear that he was already set to kill, ready to strike without further discussion.
The Lu Family members within the courtyard changed color.
Some clenched their fists even tighter, but others gasped and subconsciously shuffled backwards.
The Martial Emperor Strong was too terrifying, and the Eight Great Families were too arrogant; the Lu Family would surely be unable to hold them off.
Even the high-ranking members of the Lu Family had changed their complexion, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Lu Zhongting’s brows were deeply furrowed, silent in contemplation.
Wei Zhengyang’s eyes were cold, his powers subtly stirred.
Lu Xue did not say anything, but she stepped forward a few steps, standing behind Lu Yuwei.
But there were those with trepidation and anxiety in their hearts, who hesitantly advised Lu Yuwei in a trembling voice, “Yuwei, why don’t… you just step aside and let them take some ashes to examine?”
“Yes, the Eight Great Families are powerful, what can our Lu Family do to stand against them?”
“Ye Fan is already gone, opening a coffin won’t affect anything, and we surely can’t let our Lu Family Courtyard be turned into a river of blood because of this, can we?”
