Chapter 568 (2/2)
While looking at the burning haunted house, Tang Xiu’s eyes flashed with a cold light within. Light silently stood behind him, but there was not the slightest trace of Dark.
“Daoist Xu Yang, it will be inconvenient for you to continue following me since Dongbei Hu has died already. So, you can go anywhere you choose from here! I hope you can keep the matter of my Everlasting Feast Hall confidential as well.”
Daoist Xu Yang was silent for a moment before slowly nodding, “I understand, Daoist Tang. I won’t disclose anything that happened here! However, there’s something I need to discuss with you.”
Tang Xiu nodded, “Speak!”
“If I have some free time later, can I consult with you at the Everlasting Feast Hall? I realized that I’m nothing but a frog at the bottom of the well, even mistakenly believing that your strength was not as good as mine. But now I fully realize that if you were to really fight me, then I’m afraid you can easily kill me.”
Tang Xiu pondered for a moment before nodding, “All right. You helped me dealing with my issue in the Resting Cemetery Island, after all, so I can give you my word on your request. But, contact me first before you go to the Everlasting Feast Hall, since I rarely stay there in normal times.”
“I already got your contact, so I’ll be sure to call you in advance later,” said Daoist Xu Yang quickly.
“Alright, then you go first!” Said Tang Xiu.
Along with Daoist Xu Yang’s departure, Tang Xiu, Light and Dark quickly left and went to the Tang Family’s ancestral residence.
At this time, all the members of the Tang Family were waiting in silence in the residence. The atmosphere in the entire courtyard was especially heavy and somber. Just as Tang Xiu arrived, all the eyes of the core members of the family fell on him, as the anxious Su Lingyun hurriedly rushed toward Tang Xiu and quickly asked, “Are you alright, Xiu’er?”
Tang Xiu let out a smile and shook his head as he gently hugged his mother and smilingly said, “Mom, do I look like someone who just got something bad? Rest assured! It’s just a minor problem and I have solved it already.”
“How is this a minor problem? This…” rebuked Su Lingyun.
“I’m no longer a child, Mom. I know what I’m doing.” Tang Xiu interrupted her and smilingly said. “You don’t want to see our Tang Family be forced to leave China by the Yao Family, right?”
“No, I don’t want to see it happen.” Su Lingyun shook her head.
“So, with an enormous ability, it’s a given that I have to deal with a big matter as well.” Tang Xiu smilingly said. “Please rest your worries, Mom! I’ll definitely pay attention to my own safety.”
Su Lingyun nodded.
After releasing Su Lingyun, Tang Xiu then came before Tang Guosheng and smilingly said, “Grandpa, the Amur Tiger died and his dead body has been burnt as well. Also, Yao Chengqing, Yao Xinhua, Yao Xinlei, and Yao Xintao—the four members of the Yao Family have also been slain by my men. We also killed dozens of experts of the Yao Family who were at martial arts grandmaster level in the process.”
Tang Guosheng couldn’t help but tremble inside upon hearing Tang Xiu’s report. The biggest enemy of the Tang Family was the Yao Family and Dongbei Hu. With the Amur Tiger dead and the Yao Family suffering such a huge blow, this was definitely great news for the Tang Family. Only, he was still puzzled as to how Tang Xiu was able to kill the Amur Tiger.
While keeping his smile, Tang Xiu pointed to Light and lightly said, “Grandpa, his name is Light and he’s my grand disciple. There’s also another one, Dark, but it’s inconvenient for her to appear here. They both have strength matching the Amur Tiger.”
Tang Guosheng was taken aback. He carefully sized up Light before contently nodding, “What a good boy! I didn’t expect you to be so young, yet you’re as strong as that Dongbei Hu who has lived for more than a century.”
“You overpraise me,” replied Light with a faint smile.
Tang Guosheng’s eyes went back to Tang Xiu as he spoke, “Xiu’er, since the Amur Tiger is dead, then we…”
A cold look appeared on Tang Xiu’s eyes as he said in a cold voice, “Since the Yao Family really wants to lose all decorum with us, we definitely must not endure any longer. The earlier we remove this latent danger, the smoother our family’s development will be. Grandpa, could you hand over the authority of our family’s forces to me temporarily? I assure you that the Yao Family will be removed from the capital within three days.”
“Xiu’er, can we discuss this issue over again?” Tang Guosheng quickly said. “The Yao Family has a deep and solid foundation. Even if our family get rid of them, I’m afraid that we’ll also suffer quite a loss as well.”
“There will be sixty experts arriving in Beijing tonight at the latest. They are all cultivators, and the weakest among them is stronger than a martial arts grandmaster. With them cooperating with us, is it possible for the Yao Family to resist such a terrifying force even though they have a solid foundation?”
Tang Guosheng was flabbergasted and couldn’t believe his own ears.
Sixty experts, with each of them more powerful than a martial arts grandmaster?
At the side, each and every member of the Tang Family looked at Tang Xiu with shocked expressions. Never once had they ever dreamed that Tang Xiu actually possessed such a terrifying force.
Tang Yunde strode toward Tang Xiu and asked with a serious expression, “Son, you are not lying, right? These many experts are really coming?”
“Yes!” Tang Xiu nodded heavily.
Tang Yunde then turned his head to Tang Guosheng and said in a deep voice, “Father, I believe him! We all have seen him in action before, and I believe you’ve witnessed it as well! Give him the authority! We, the Tang Family, cannot tolerate this any longer!”
Tang Guosheng seemed to have made up his mind as well, as he replied in a deep voice, “If so, then let’s get started! I’ll make a few calls as well!”
