Chapter 814: Do NOT Provoke Them
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The Decree of Death Warriors was a kind of special, extraordinary command. Once issued by the Tang Family’s patriarch, it would allow all members of the 1st and 2nd Guardian squads to resign. But those who chose to follow were required to live and die together with the patriarch while facing the grave crisis with almost no chance to survive.
At this moment in time, all the core members of the Tang Family shuddered. They realized that the Tang Family was now facing a major issue, the fourth life, and the largest crisis since the family had been established.
Half a day passed by, and all the major forces and important people had received the news of the abnormal movements of the Tang Family. All the leaders of various forces were continuously dispatching intelligence personnel, trying to find out what happened to the Tang Family and why Tang Guosheng assembled a large amount of manpower with great fanfare and left the Tang Family’s residence to depart from Beijing.
The vast ocean.
A passenger ship was sailing through the wind and waves towards the Strait of Malacca. Inside a beautifully decorated cabin room, Duanmu Lin frowned deeply. He just received the news from Beijing that Tang Guosheng had assembled a large number of men and rushed outside the capital.
“Chief, there’s a fishing boat in front. The signals coming from them indicate that they are one of us.” A particularly short middle-aged man dressed in wushu suit quickly appeared in the room.
Duanmu Lin’s expression shifted, and he strode out of the room. When he came to the bow deck, he saw the fishing boat approaching closer with Zhu Long’s team of four standing on it. At this time, however, Duanmu Lin’s mood was very complicated. China could be said to have won an enormous victory and had obtained the most benefits—that was the reason that left him the most surprised and excited. However, Tang Xiu didn’t come out alive from the three-star vestige, leaving him somewhat sad and helpless.
“Chief!.”
As the passenger ship and the fishing boat got closer, Zhu Long, Firedevil, Electrolady, and Aquababe jumped onto the liner and respectfully greeted Duanmu Lin as they came in front of him.
“You’ve done a good job; the results couldn’t be any better.” Duanmu Lin nodded and said, “But this is not the time to find out about the booty. Just tell me, how is the situation with Tang Xiu?”
“Can we speak about some pleasant things first, Chief?” asked Zhu Long with a bitter smile.
“Do you think I don’t want to say some pleasant things to you?” asked Duanmu Lin back with a helpless expression. “The Tang Family is now restless and ready to move. Tang Guosheng is personally coming here with a lot of manpower to catch up with me. Not to mention there’s someone else, the unfathomable Everlasting Feast Hall. All of these combined will spell some big troubles. I cannot weather the storm if this issue is not handled well.”
“The Tang Family?” Zhu Long frowned and said, “What does this have to do with them?”
“Tang Xiu is Tang Guosheng’s biological grandson. Now tell me if this has no relation?” rebuked Duanmu Lin.
Zhu Long’s expression slightly changed. Even Firedevil, Electrolady, and Aquababe couldn’t help but have a change in expression. They couldn’t care less about the Tang Family had it been in the past. After all, for Elementalists who possessed magical powers like them, no matter how powerful a regular clan was, they were not a threat they needed to be concerned with.
That was, however, before the Tang Family eliminated Amur Tiger—Dongbei Hu. They also rooted out the Yao Family. Therefore, they couldn’t underestimate the Tang Family despite them being ability users. After all, the Amur Tiger was a well-known Daoist cultivator, while the Yao Family housed a lot of experts. From only those instances, it could be seen that the Tang Family definitely had unfathomable accomplishments.
“What power does this Everlasting Feast Hall have, Chief?? Why haven’t I heard of it before?” asked Zhu Long after he collected his mind and took a deep breath.
“This Everlasting Feast Hall is headquartered in Jingmen Island. It’s just a restaurant with several branches on the surface, but it possesses dreadful forces under the radar,” explained Duanmu Lin. “Even from my observations only, this Everlasting Feast Hal has a lot of martial artists, many of whom have strength comparable to at least a martial arts grandmaster. Not to mention its mysterious founder; even I can’t figure out who he is. But…”
“But what?” asked Zhu Long quickly with a changed expression.
“The founder of this Everlasting Feast Hall turns out to be Tang Xiu’s disciple,” said Duanmu Lin helplessly.
Hiss (Hiss)…
Zhu Long and the rest gasped at the same time.
After a long while, Zhu Long said in a hurry, “If so, this Everlasting Feast Hall is actually the extension of the Tang Family’s power?”
