Chapter 1342 - Chapter 1342 Chapter 634 The Humerus as the Mainstay

Chapter 1342: Chapter 634: The Humerus as the Mainstay Chapter 1342: Chapter 634: The Humerus as the Mainstay “There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world, Miss Yun Xiu’s importance to the divinity project goes without saying, but this help is not without compensation,”

Tang Luo crossed his fingers in front of him and said solemnly to the core members of the Tang Clan seated before him, “The remaining members of the Yun Family still drift in the void along with the Minor Spiritual Realm of Longyuan. As a reward for cooperating with the divinity project, the Tang Clan needs to protect the Yun Family members in the Minor Spiritual Realm of Longyuan and help them rebuild the Yun Clan!”

Lead by the thirteen elders, the Tang Clan’s power group started whispering among themselves, and soon the hesitant elders relaxed, continuing to pay attention to the description of the divinity project in their hands.

After all these years, Tang Luo understood the nature of noble families too well: gratitude for a grain of rice, grudge for a scoop of grain.

Blind contribution will not earn you respect; you must start with your own interests and stand firm to be recognized by the noble families.

The clan leader Tang Zhi, who had been reading the documents attentively since their distribution, put down the paperwork and asked Yun Xiu, “Miss Yun Xiu, what level of protection and reconstruction would allow you to fully cooperate with Tang Luo on the divinity project without any concerns?”

When the clan leader spoke, everyone quieted down and turned their attention to Yun Xiu, looking amiable yet evaluative.

The divinity project is indeed enticing, and the Tang Clan will not let go of it upon seeing it, but there are also interests to measure.

After all, the Yun Family’s adversary is none other than Dutian Heavenly King’s patrol. Although Hanging Sky City has fallen and Cao Jinyu has been executed, the succeeding Qionghua Star Lord is not an easy target.

Especially after the world’s conscription, the influence and power of the Heavenly King’s patrol have not decreased but increased. Although the current focus of this immense force is to find the elusive Han Family, if one were to rank the next targets, Ancient Blood Tower, Yun Clan of Chaochang, and Devil Lord Gou Chen would not be able to escape.

Protecting the Yun Family is not impossible, but once this results in a confrontation with the Heavenly King’s patrol, it’s akin to risking one’s life.

It is known that the Tang Clan’s dealings are not clean, entangled with both the Han Family and Devil Lord Gou Chen, and their core members are all cultivating the Undying Battle Body.

If discovered, there would be no need to continue protecting the Yun Family, because all of the Heavenly King’s patrol’s firepower would be directed at the Tang Clan; at that time, there would be no way back.

So, even though they are highly enthusiastic about the “divinity project”, the heads of the Tang Clan are still maintaining a high level of calm and rationality.

Confronted with the real core of the Tang Clan of Longxi, Yun Xiu was not intimidated and listed the conditions negotiated with Tang Luo one by one.

And Tang Luo maintained a detached demeanor, merely listening in, occasionally looking at Yun Xiu with a look of approval.

Perhaps due to her improved cultivation, Yun Xiu seemed more imposing, speaking confidently in front of the Tang Clan elders and not showing any sign of being inferior.

Her inner resolve was even firmer, her tone was gentle and her expression calm, yet she did not relax on the matters she insisted upon.

If this could be compared to negotiating a business deal, Tang Luo felt he would surely be at a loss if he were to negotiate with Yun Xiu.

But those present were shrewd individuals who had lived long lives. Although they clearly understood Yun Xiu’s importance, they did not want to take on too much responsibility. Therefore, concerning the details of the conditions, there was continuous bargaining.

This petty squabbling over noble family interests bored Tang Luo after a while. Out of sheer boredom, he heard footsteps pacing back and forth outside the council hall.

By the figure, it was undoubtedly Fang Yuan, which surprised Tang Luo somewhat because he had mentioned to Fang Yuan that this meeting was extremely important and if there was nothing significant, it would be best to leave.

But judging by Fang Yuan’s demeanor, he seemed unable to determine the importance of the matter and thus hesitated.

So Tang Luo stood up intending to go out and ask, but as he rose, the fierce discussion in the council hall suddenly quieted down, with all eyes focusing on him.

“Uh… don’t mind me, please continue talking,”

Tang Luo spread his hands and shrugged, with an indifferent expression, “Just let me know the result once you’ve decided; I will fully cooperate with whatever it is.”

“No need to chat anymore.”

Tang Zhi smiled and pushed the “God-making Plan” on the table gently forward, saying, “The Tang Clan fully accepts Miss Yun Xiu’s terms. The Wind Media Departments in various cities will focus on tracking information regarding the boundary determination of the Minor Spiritual Realm in Longyuan in the future, and will take corresponding actions as soon as there is any news. Likewise, please also give your full support to this plan, Miss Yun Xiu.”

“Thank you, Clan Leader Tang, for your generosity. This humble girl will definitely cooperate fully with Tang Tianjiao in accomplishing the plan.”

“Hard work is appreciated, Miss Yun Xiu.”

The demanding conditions that had been haggled over were thus settled by the clan leader with a decisive strike, and the elders who had hoped to gain more had no choice but to shake their heads in resignation.

The incredibly important council meeting was concluded with an astonishing speed, but the slightly resentful gazes of a few elders as they departed still made Tang Luo feel quite wronged.

It was you who were discussing the deal, and after it ends, you come to blame me? How does that make any sense?

If you’re going to blame anyone, blame Fang Yuan. If he hadn’t been wandering around outside, I wouldn’t have suddenly gotten up.

After sending away Clan Leader Tang Zhi and the thirteen elders, Tang Luo planned to collect and destroy the imprinted God-making Plan, and said to the seven reluctant elders, “Alright, that’s enough. You mustn’t be too attached, we can’t keep this imprint. At worst, when the God-making Plan commences, you can come and watch as bystanders.”

Upon hearing this, the seven-city elders reluctantly handed back the imprint, and Tang Hongtao sighed looking at Tang Luo, “The once young prodigy has truly become the backbone of the family. The new waves push the old waves forward, we really are old!”

“Grand Master is certainly not old, no one can match your physical technique realm, and your palm force is ranked amongst the top, you can aspire to be a grandmaster.”

Feeling the tiredness in Tang Hongtao’s words, Tang Luo hurriedly offered up flattery, which led to a round of laughter and scolding from the elders.

“We are people who are halfway into the grave, what does it matter if one is a grandmaster or not? It’s just that thinking about the future, there is still some reluctance to let go.”

Tang Hongtao lifted himself up on his toes to pat Tang Luo’s shoulder, lamenting, “The future rests on you now.”

“Rest assured, Grand Master.”

Tang Luo slightly bent his knees, narrowed his eyes, and smiled, saying, “From now on, the family will only get better and better, and we’ll have more and more strong people.”

“Good, very good.”

Having tossed the retrieved imprint into the brazier to burn it to ashes, ensuring even the fragments were reduced to ash, Tang Luo then called Fang Yuan to enter the council hall.

“Tell me, you’ve been wandering outside for a long time, do you have something important to report?”

“Reporting to the Hall Master.”

Fang Yuan clasped his hands and said, “Little Nuannuan has arrived at Lanshan City atop a Star Moon Coral Rhinoceros, saying she has urgent matters to discuss with you. I didn’t know whether to regard this as an emergency, so I hesitated outside the council hall.”

“This matter is urgent, you’ve done well.”

Hearing that his younger sister had come looking for him, Tang Luo immediately responded.

Actually, he understood why his little sister now detested him so much; the root of this resentment must be from back when he used the Iron Eating Beast to trick Little Nuannuan into following their mother to Yuanzhou.

After all, from the little girl’s perspective, he was the bad brother who abandoned her, and the relatives in Yuanzhou were the ones who helped and cared for her when she was most helpless. Perhaps in Nuannuan’s heart, the role of her biological brother had long been replaced by others.
