Chapter 1465 - Chapter 1465 Chapter 719 Letter from Ying City_2
Chapter 1465: Chapter 719: Letter from Ying City_2 Chapter 1465: Chapter 719: Letter from Ying City_2 Upon hearing that the Tang family in Xiling had risen to power by relying on the notorious Ghost Weeping Warship to plunder, and had also planned the river diversion that affected millions of households in Lingjiang,
everyone was unable to contain their anger. To these pure martial artists, who had trained in their sects since childhood, the monstrous crimes of the Longxi Alliance deserved death a million times over.
They had just been suspicious of the Divine Son An Heng’s motives, which was wrong indeed.
…
Yuanzhou
Middle Ying City
The truth cannot be hidden forever, especially when the Beast Taming Sect actively spread the news, the sins of the Longxi Alliance quickly became known throughout Yuanzhou.
Romantic and chivalrous wanderers were infuriated upon hearing the news, and wanted nothing more than to draw their swords and decapitate the members of the Longxi Alliance.
Sequestered Xu Feng and Xu Changfeng were even denounced by countless Sword Saints from the Sword Pavilion.
The actions of the Tang Clan had crossed the Xu Clan’s threshold of endurance. A family that would stop at nothing for the sake of group advancement would only become more of a hazard the stronger it grew.
If it weren’t for the sacred law forbidding holy land from intervening in family disputes, the Xu Clan would have perhaps wished to send the Falling Star army to Longzhou to eliminate their relatives in the name of justice.
“No matter what, the Xu Clan should no longer be involved with such an evil lineage.”
The master of the Sword Pavilion in Ying City ordered Xu Feng and Xu Changfeng, “Immediately recall the relatives from Longzhou.”
…
Longzhou Calendar, year 1791, early March
Xu Changge personally arrived at Jiejiang City. When Xu Shuhui opened the door and saw her brother, her heart skipped a beat.
Half a day later, all the males from the third branch of the Tang Clan had returned to the Sect Head’s residence.
Tang Sen, Tang Luo, Tang Xing, Tang Nuannuan, even the youngest two were not excluded.
Amidst the unusually solemn atmosphere, Xu Changge took out the letters from his chest and read out the Sword Master’s orders to everyone.
The meaning inside was very clear–it was to recall the relatives from Longzhou and to completely sever ties with the Tang family in Xiling.
The children of the clans present understood the meaning of the Xu Clan in Yuanzhou; now the Longxi Alliance had become Xiehe’s biggest negative example.
Within Longzhou itself, the Evil King Palace and the four major families declared war against them, while from the Outer Continent, numerous wanderers were heading towards Longzhou.
The downfall of the Longxi Alliance was inevitable, and the recall by the Sword Pavilion of Ying City was not only to delineate boundaries but also to protect the Tang Family.
“It is as such.”
Xu Changge finished reading the letters and said to Tang Sen, “The ship is currently moored on the southern shore of Chaochang City. When does my brother-in-law plan to leave?”
Tang Zhi, who had been particularly quiet today, glanced at his wife and then back at Xu Changge, wanting to say something, but remained silent.
“Second brother, this is a big issue after all, we need to discuss it…”
Xu Shuhui said to Xu Changge with difficulty.
Nodding, Xu Changge stood up and left the hall.
In the slightly dim hall, the faces of everyone present, except for Tang Luo and Tang Nuannuan, did not look too good.
Nobody expected Ying City to recall them at this time, and as a branch of the Xu Clan that had their plaque in the ancestral hall, they had almost no right to refuse the orders of the main house.
Seeing that no one was willing to speak, Tang Luo was the first to say, “I think mother should take Tang Xing, Nuan Nuan, and the two little ones back to the Xu Clan first.”
“I can’t go back!”
Tang Xing, whose name was mentioned, suddenly stood up, “I need to participate in the war. The bounty hunters in Jiejiang City have become rampant. If I leave, who knows how many assassination cases will crop up each day. I can’t leave.”
“The order from the Sword Pavilion of Ying City has come; someone has to go back.”
Tang Luo shrugged and said, “It’s your poor strength that’s to blame. If a battle breaks out, we would have to protect you, which would be a huge liability. It’s better you hurry up and follow mother back to Yuanzhou.”
“Who says my strength is poor!”
Tang Xing became furious, “Even low-rank Xuan grade Spirit Arts can’t break through my Diamond Dharma Aspect, I could take on several units of other families alone!”
“Below the Fierce Realm, everyone’s weak, wait until you’ve broken through before joining the battle.”
Tang Luo rubbed his fingers and turned to his father, Tang Sen, “Father, what do you think of my suggestion?”
“This matter, the clan head has instructed.”
Tang Sen looked at Tang Luo, then at Tang Xing, and said dryly, “He said that if a letter comes from Yuanzhou, the whole family should leave together.”
“What does that mean?”
Tang Luo frowned and said, “Does the clan head want to abandon the Longxi Alliance?”
Tang Sen shook his head silently, who could truly fathom the depth of those profound thoughts.

…
Jiejiang City
In the Tang Clan’s quiet chamber
Ji Xuanyuan was in a secret meeting with Tang Zhi, but the expression on the face of the commander of the Slaughter Immortal Army was extremely poor.
“The demands of the Tang Clan are simply too outrageous!”
“Not at all.”
Tang Zhi smiled, “If you don’t want the war to erupt prematurely, Commander Ji must satisfy the terms set by the Tang Clan.”
“Fine, this commander agrees!”
Ji Xuanyuan clenched his teeth, “I will dispatch someone to deliver the Boundary Breaking Stone as soon as possible!”
“Much appreciated.”
“Hmph!”
…
The entire Longxi Alliance was preparing for war with high morale, but Tang Luo astutely perceived that the clan leader intended to give up the fight, which puzzled him greatly.
He came to the clan office after failing to find Tang Zhi at the Martial Hall and finally saw the clan leader in the strategy room.
Looking at the sand table covered with densely packed flags, watching Tang Zhi and several patriarchs from powerful families in heated discussion,
Tang Luo began to doubt his own judgment. He waited quietly until the patriarchs had finished their discussion and said goodbye to the departing patriarchs before he approached.
“Clan leader, father told me that you want us to follow the orders from Yuanzhou and return together, but why?”
Knowing that time was precious, Tang Luo did not probe but went straight to the point.
As if Tang Zhi had anticipated Tang Luo would ask this, he beckoned Tang Luo over and pointed at the sand table, asking, “What can you see from here?”
Following Tang Zhi’s finger, Tang Luo could see countless flags of different colors surrounding Lingjiang without any gaps.
Some represented the powerful families of Longzhou, others represented the Evil King Palace, and still others represented the righteous people from the Outer Continent.
But in terms of absolute numbers, the Longxi Alliance was like a child facing a strong man, with no chance of victory.
However, the enemy was never a single entity. Tang Luo took out a few black flags from the mass of flags and walked to the center of the sand table, planting one of them in the center of the Bounty Guild, and the rest near the ancestral lands of the powerful families.
Then, nodding satisfied, he pointed to the southeast corner where the Evil King Palace was situated and said, “In this case, we just need to deal with that force, and the odds of victory seem quite favorable.”
Tang Zhi chuckled, “Seeing a chance for victory out of certain death is commendable, but if you really do that, you would fall into their trap.”
He followed the path Tang Luo had taken, pulling out the black flags one by one, then handing them back to Tang Luo.
“The sins of Tang Clan run deep, and the Longxi Alliance deserves death, even if we could win this battle, we are still doomed to fail eventually.”
Tang Zhi said indifferently, “Longxi must never surrender without a fight, nor can it be completely defeated, understand?”
How could he understand!
Tang Luo frowned and said, “If we can win, why are you having us follow Xu Changge back to Yuanzhou? Besides, what about the others in the Longxi Alliance?”
“I have other arrangements for the rest of our clan.”
Tang Zhi smiled, “Your stage is not now. Before it arrives, you need to wait patiently.”
…
Midnight
An abandoned temple halfway up the mountain outside Lanshan City
A few bounty hunters were gathering here
Under the candlestand, several fierce faces gathered, and laid out on the table was a map of Lanshan City.
“The man with the hooked nose pointed to a luxurious courtyard and said, “In there lives the eldest son of the Tang Family head, Tang Peng, and his wife. If we can nail this job, our brothers will be set for the second half of our lives!”
The breathing of the group became heavier. There were many targets in the Bounty Hall, but not many high-value targets like Tang Peng.
With a cultivation level at the peak of Transcendence and a bounty higher than a Martial Ancestor, what was even more exciting was the buy one get one free deal.
Since his wife also had a considerable bounty, capturing both would mean a worry-free life thereafter.
Of course, a high bounty was only good if you were alive to enjoy it. For these bounty hunters, the most painful thing was to kill the target with great effort but not be able to collect the bounty.
Luckily, they had an older brother who had awakened the Dharma Aspect of Earth, giving them a path through the ground. With this, they could easily complete the mission.
