At the midsection of Lingjiang, atop North Mountain

A drizzling rain washed over the place where the Longzhou Tang Clan began to thrive. This magnificent and towering North-Viewing Great Boat stood rooted in the now vastly changed midsection of Lingjiang, with the mountain still bearing the desolate traces of past battles.

There were no craftsmen to mend it, for this was the glory of the Tang Clan’s bravery, accomplished by generations of heroes who succeeded one after the other, ultimately dominating seven cities and becoming the largest power in the west of Longzhou, with control and millions of citizens looking up to them.

All noble families said that the Tang family in Xiling held the true power, an unstoppable rise was at that time believed by the Tang Clan as well.

Yet, in just a few months, this edifice built by the efforts of generations had become a target of scorn, attacked by warriors and righteous men from all directions, who camped around with a resolve not to cease until their goals were met, threatening to topple it.

I still recall that it was on this very mountain that the Tang family in Xiling had broken the spinal cords of the Prominent Mi Clan and other short-sighted noble families, rising as the new kings of Longxi with countless bodies sunk in the river.

After that, only one voice remained in the west of Longzhou, and the elders of the Tang Clan, along with their ministers, dispersed across the seven cities, starting their relentless toil.

Power equated to responsibility, easy to conquer but hard to govern. The Tang elders, who had managed only half a city for a millennium, were immensely excited to handle such a large area west of Longzhou, even if only collaboratively managing, participating in the city hall meetings, couldn’t lessen this excitement.

It seemed from that point onward, the thirteen elders of the Tang Clan never gathered to discuss matters together again, not to mention returning to North Mountain.

Even during the last resistance against the Evil King Palace, clan leader Tang Zhi had not issued an urgent summons, each elder performing their duties and thus, getting through that period.

What was once thought to be the darkest hour for the Tang family, now in comparison with the current tempestuous situation, those troubles seemed nothing.

How could a group of noble families, unable to even feed their subjects, dare to claim the high ground of justice and aggressively pursue us?

With such doubts, the thirteen elders wielding the highest authority of the Tang Clan, along with the clan’s judicial and legislative officials from the seven cities and twenty-one branch representatives, returned to the place where the Tang Clan’s dreams began.

But unlike the majestic presence of the past, the assembly in the council hall on North Mountain looked solemn, gazing at the familiar place with nostalgia, but more with discontent.

As the convener of the emergency council, Tang Zhi clearly understood what they were reluctant to let go of, but now the situation had reached a point of no return.

People’s hearts had turned, irrevocably. When the overwhelming force of evil pressed down, the level of strength was never the issue, as the just-hearted warriors along with scheming ambition-filled plotters could shatter anything unbreakable.

The last one to be destroyed by such force was the Evil Sect hundreds of years ago, with millions of followers, several grandmaster protectors, and the sect leader Beimang, a King Realm powerhouse.

Having this precedent, whether to resist stubbornly or plan cautiously was no longer a hard choice.

Sitting at the central round table in the council hall with the thirteen elders, with the branch representatives and the heads of office behind, such significant figures assembled should hasten discussion, but this time, it seemed no one was eager to speak first to break the silence.

It was as if they wanted to linger just a bit longer, even longer.

But they couldn’t linger on forever, for if those outside knew that the people holding the highest power of the Longxi Alliance were currently sitting in North Mountain, lost in thought, the already unstable alliance would truly be in chaos.

“… Tang Sen from the third branch brought the best disciple of this generation onto the boat, with the protection of the Xu Clan in Yuanzhou, some remaining grievance is no harm.”

“… Ji Xuanyuan has delivered the promised Boundary Breaking Stone, and the representatives of the seven cities have prepared a list for hiding, which, along with the Slaughter Immortal Army, will be sent to the Spirit Realm in batches.”

“… The forbidden land of Lanshan City has gathered pharmacists from the seven cities, working day and night to harvest and process divine herbs and sacred plants into medicinal pills.”

These were all preparations for the Longxi Alliance’s upcoming battles, but only those present knew something deeper.

“Clan leader!”

Tang Qi, the representative from Boma city, suddenly spoke, interrupting Tang Zhi’s recount, his face filled with pain as he asked, “Is there really, absolutely no other way?”

Tang Qi’s words also represented the sentiments of most people present; they couldn’t understand why, with still a chance of winning, it had to come to this.

Third Elder Tang Zhenghao spoke harshly, “Since the four clans dare station troops in Longxi, clearly prepared for a long battle, we should then gather our elite forces, using stealth techniques to launch a night raid on their camps. Take advantage of the instability of their four camps to strike fear into those clans declaring war on us. Let them understand that today’s Longzhou is not governed by their seven families and Tang Clan isn’t a soft persimmon for them to squeeze!”

“Third Elder speaks sense.”

“Exactly, damn it, among the seven prominent clans, except for Liu Clan of Chuanyuan, what are the rest? Just a bunch of nobodies trying to act like righteous warriors. Slaughter their elite camp, then launch a night attack on their ancestral lands, knowing two or three groups of Martial Ancestors, and handling what families like the He Family and Mu Family, to keep them obedient, not daring to provoke again!”

“If you ask me, just go for it, they really think they are some kind of heroes, daring to put bounties on all our middle and high ranking members. I say we should mobilize our troops to Da Lin now, break the millennium-old City of Da Lin, destroy that Bounty Hall, and hang the twelve highest councillors of the trading assembly at the city gate, let these dogs and hawks find someone else to claim their bounties!”
