Chapter 180: Chapter 176: All Depends on Attainment
How could Tang Ming not understand Tang Cunfu’s heart that always leaned
towards the clan? Among the three representatives, who wasn’t wholeheartedly
working for the welfare of the clan?
Being a representative is not an easy job, having to both report the situations
faced by the branch clans to the main clan and seek solutions, and also
communicate information from the main clan to each branch clan and ensure
they comprehend it.
Heavy workload doesn't equate to having any privileges — wanting wealth means
having to earn it oneself, as well as the need to personally recruit martial artists.
Being a representative of the branch clan may sound intimidating, but it really
comes down to hard and tiring work. Yet they find joy in it. Firstly, because no
one else is willing to take on such a difficult role, and secondly, because the three
of them truly wish to do good for the clan and are willing to make sacrifices.
However, he recognized himself to be two years older than Tang Cunfu and Tang
Qi, and the reason he refused to join them in impeaching Tang Zhi was not
because he was overly loyal, but because he had worked with Tang Zhi before.
Back when both of them were students at the clan school, he clearly
remembered how astonishing Tang Zhi's strategies were behind his unassuming
appearance, the kind of person who meticulously planned every step and moved
in a calm and measured way.
He would never believe that Tang Zhi would harm the clan for his own personal
gain, but he also could not convince Tang Cunfu and Tang Qi, so he could only
stand by as an observer, waiting for the truth to be revealed.
But all of these words, even if spoken, they would probably think he is just
making excuses, so he might as well not say them.
Tang Cunfu gathered his thoughts and with an indifferent look, he said to Tang
Ming, “The time for wartime regulations has passed. I will once again impeach
Tang Zhi at the clan meeting tomorrow.”
Tang Ming's face took a drastic change of color, he gripping the armrest tightly,
feeling anxious in his heart. It was such a rush — Oh Cunfu, why go to such
lengths? Couldn't the clan leader be given a little more time?
“If elder brother is willing to support me, you can submit your complaint with me
tomorrow. If not...” After a pause, Tang Cunfu looked up and said, “I hope that,
for the sake of our past sentiments, elder brother can remain neutral. I assure
you, the Tang Clan under my care will definitely be more splendid than it is in the
hands of Tang Zhi!”
Cuiyun Building, the biggest restaurant in West City, was owned by the Wu
Family and has a history of 200 years.
As one of the oldest families in Xiling, the Wu family had always been known for
their contentment with small fortunes and lack of ambition. They firmly guarded
their restaurant and its secret recipes, did not open shops, did not build trade
teams, hence even today the Wu family only had the Cuiyun Building as their
sole property. Every clan member practiced martial arts, yet none of them
emerged as powerful warriors from the Fierce Realm.
“That's enough.1“, was a common phrase often heard amongst the Wu family
members.
Inside Cuiyun building's Tianyun Pavilion, Tang Luo sat at the head of the main
table, facing an anxious-looking woman who was holding a little girl.
Perhaps due to extreme hunger, the little girl was stuffing food into her mouth in
the woman's arms, murmuring, “Mom, you eat too.”
The woman simply shook her head, keeping her fearful eyes on Tang Luo.
Nevertheless, her gulping and overflow of saliva showed that she was indeed
very hungry.
“Have something to eat.” Tang Luo casually encouraged, “If Gong Zheng comes
back and we need to escape, you won't get far with an empty stomach.”
Mentioning Gong Zheng, the woman felt a swell of bitterness in her heart and
tears slid down her cheeks.
Seeing the two young lords outside the city but not Gong Zheng, she knew her
husband had stayed to cover their escape. But how could he survive facing the
Martial Artists of the Mi Clan?
As a woman who has no martial arts abilities, the Mi clan of Xiling was no
different from divine beings to her.
“I beg you, young master, to save my husband,” pleaded the woman to Tang Luo.
When the little girl in her arms heard her mother’s words, she turned to look at
her teary mother. After struggling to swallow the food in her mouth, she said,
“Mama, why are you crying? Don’t cry.”
In the child's heart, her father was always the strongest. She only thought that
Gong Zheng was coming a bit later, just as Tang Luo had told her.
While comforting her mother to stop crying, the little girl turned back to ask Tang
Luo, “Brother, why hasn't Papa come back yet?”
Seeing the adorable and innocent little face which somewhat resembled Tang
Nuannuan, Tang Luo replied with a smile, “Maybe he’s lost.”
To be honest, he himself wasn't sure if Gong Zheng could make it back. After all,
facing an entire squad of ten Common Realm Warriors, whilst having not eaten
or drunk for an entire day, even with a Spirit Armor, he wouldn't survive if
surrounded. It all depended on Gong Zheng’s own fate.
But he couldn't just tell the little girl, “Your dad might be beaten to death,” how
cruel that would be. So he told a white lie.
The little girl nodded thoughtfully and then turned back to say, “Mama, are you
waiting for Papa to come back so we could eat together? Then I will wait too-"
Seeing her considerate daughter, despite the tears, the mother felt a warmth in
her heart. She hugged the child closer, but the tears wouldn't stop flowing.

child. Tang Lyahadaays had little

of him, so he urged her to eat again.
His way of persuading people might
sound rational, but to another, it was
cold and indifferent. The content is

The woman stopped her tears in surprise and stared at Tang Luo. Suddenly, she
grabbed a handful of food and started chewing.
Hearing her mom's chewing, the little girl in her arms looked up and saw the tear-
soaked face of her mother eating her food heartily. For reasons unknown, she
began crying loudly.
West Suburban Farm
What was once a fertile grassland was now charred black, with traces of burns
everywhere. Huge craters scarred the landscape, revealing the black soil below
the grass sod.
After escaping the first wave of the Combined Attack Technique, Gong Zheng,
clad in black scale armour, charged into the crowd like a giant python, clashing
with the Mi clan warriors.
Within a few moments, he had suffered several heavy blows, but he was
extremely excited because, as long as the first wave of the Combined Attack
Technique didn't kill him, he had a chance to fight back.
He didn't rashly create distance from these warriors because dodging wasn't his
strength!
Only by facing death head-on can he fight a bloody way out. Each warrior team
consisted of three people. Besides the team leader who was at the peak of the
Common realm, the two other team members were mostly just ordinary Common
Realm warriors.

Even with armour, they weren't a

Amongst the flurry of fists and feet, those cold stares seemed like they were not
looking at an opponent, but a chunk of meat ready for slaughter.
