Chapter 187: Chapter 183: Clan Council (5)
Tang Hongtao had never imagined that an ordinary family council meeting would
go so awry. Tang Luo had directly confronted and ridiculed the Great Elder. This
was equivalent to stirring up a storm in heaven.
He understood better than anyone that threats rooted in the hierarchical status of
being a clan elder wouldn't dissuade Tang Luo. A person who, upon entering the
Secret Arts Pavilion, dared to accuse all the elders of seeking fame and
reputation would not retreat because of threats regarding hierarchical status. But
if the situation escalated, Tang Siyuan certainly wouldn't back down, and Tang
Luo’s elder status would surely be revoked. At that point, it was uncertain
whether he would still share his research with the Secret Arts Pavilion. The
rashness of youth was unpredictable. This would be a great loss for the Tang
Clan because Tang Luo was the only one who knew the technique of single-
person fusion. Not to mention the numerous martial arts he had traded for his
position as an elder.
Every skill practiced by the Mortal Realm members of the Tang Clan had been
modified by Tang Luo. It was too much to strip him of his elder status for just one
act of defiance!
Just as Tang Hongtao was about to persuade again, he heard Tang Luo sneer.
He arrogantly pointed at Tang Hongtao and said, “The elders have the power to
strip the status of a clan elder. But if 1 remember correctly, this requires the
signatures of at least five elders. I'm giving you the opportunity, right here and
now. Find the other four elders and strip me of my status!”
There was another uproar. The color drained from Tang Hongtao’s face. He
couldn't believe that Tang Luo would so boldly retaliate against the Great Elder.
He was also well aware of Tang Siyuan’s influence. It might be a difficult task for
other elders to collect five signatures, but over the many years in his position as
an elder, he had formed many alliances, which could become a significant force
at a time like this.
Tang Luo might become the pillar of the Tang Family in the future, but for now, he
couldn't outperform the higher-ranking elders. Once his position as an elder was
stripped, it would be incredibly hard to regain. It would be regretful if the young
pride of the Tang Clan lost so much because of a minor dispute. Tang Hongtao
was about to persuade Tang Luo when he was interrupted by the angry rebuke of
Great Elder Tang Siyuan!
“Young and ignorant! Becoming arrogant just because you possess the title of
Pride of Xiling and some talent in modifying martial arts techniques! Today, I will
show you why I hold the title of Elder!” Tang Siyuan glared angrily at Tang Luo.
He stood up suddenly and shouted, “Today, I will remove Tang Luo’s elder status.
Who is in favor and who opposes?”
As an elder who had held power for over a hundred years, he had seen
countless so-called prides. Deep down, he didn’t think they were all that
impressive. Perhaps the idea of a thirteen-year-old breaking through to the
Mortal Realm might sound impressive to outsiders, but to him, it was just a
matter of timing. He had seen many young talents rise and then slowly fade. He
didn’t believe that Tang Luo, who was simultaneously studying martial arts and
practicing martial arts, would achieve any significant success.
After all, Tang Luo had not awakened his bloodline and the accumulation during
his period of transmigration wouldn't be as brilliant as those in the Mortal Realm!
There's indeed a world of difference between transmigration at thirteen and
seventeen. However, there's hardly any essential difference between reaching
the Fierce Realm at the age of forty or forty-four.
As Tang Siyuan’s angry voice rang out, a few elders who owed him enormous
favors gritted their teeth and were about to raise their hands, showing support.
After all, they had to repay the favors they owed, and Tang Luo was just a junior.
Even if there were some minor injustices, there were ways to compensate for
them.
The elders were savvy from their vast experience. They realized in an instant
who to side with and decided to remain silent. They knew it was only crucial to let
Tang Siyuan vent his anger. Compensation for Tang Luo could be managed
through political maneuvers. Just take away a little, then give back a little more,
the elders’ silent glances exchanged their understanding.
Tang Luo watched as a few elders began to slowly raise their hands, a cold smirk
in his heart.
He understood that these elders did not hold any animosity towards him; they
were merely considering their own interests. He was still a junior, and even if he
was wronged, so what? Could it cause a rebellion? Watching as the Mountain
Chief, Chief Elder, and the Clan Chief remained silent, he found it ridiculous.
Everyone figured it makes more sense to offend him than to offend Tang Siyuan.
After all, even if he grew to be the pillar of the Tang Clan, that wouldn't happen
for several decades. By that time, they wouldn't even be sure whether they would
still hold their positions. Even if he gained power, there would be nothing he
could do to them.
But seeing that Tang Hongtao was the only supporter in the room arguing for
him, Tang Luo was filled with unspoken fury. Offending him seemed better than
offending Tang Siyuan? What terribly misguided logic!
“Let's see which elders are planning to strip me of my status!” Tang Luo sneered,
his words squeezed harshly between gritted teeth.
The spiritual power stored in the Marshal Star was released, and the aura of a
primordial realm’s peak exploded out. The sharp aura was like a knife, slashing
across everyone's faces!
“Unity of spirit and intent, reaching the peak of the Mortal Realm!” Tang Bin
exclaimed in shock, staring at Tang Luo’s aura.
He was the one who felt Tang Luo’s aura the deepest because he was still
working towards reaching the peak of the Mortal Realm. He knew very well that
reaching the peak of the Mortal Realm was not just about accumulating spiritual
power, but also about establishing an understanding of the martial arts essence.
This is the most important step for cultivating the soul and once they reach the
Fierce Realm, they can manifest the soul. Some people have souls like swords,
some like mountains, which is the display of a martial arts will solidified to the
extreme. Before the Fierce Realm, the most significant manifestation of martial
arts will was an aura!
Tang Luo’s sharp aura, which signified unity of spirit and intent, suggested an
extremely domineering martial arts will. Furthermore, he knew how well Tang Luo
could control his spiritual power. That meant he was no match for Tang Luo in
combat.

Strip him of his elder status? They were now more inclined to worship Tang Luo!
In just a moment, the situation had completely reversed.
“Great Elder, this is a place for family affairs, not for you to show off your might!”
Standing up, the Chief of the Elders accused Tang Siyuan.
The Mountain Chief also spoke up, “Yes, Great Elder, Luo’s ingenious Five Acre
Land strategy is extraordinary and should be promoted vigorously!”
