As the chilling voice drifted in the air, the black-suited Tang An appeared in front of everyone. She quickly made a gesture to Jin Shi’s team to immediately follow her.

Tang Xiu looked straight at Singtuo and the old man, saying, “I know your clan once belonged to the Celestial Wizard Clan, but the blood feud between me and the Celestial Wizard Clan will only end until one of us is gone. I want your clan to make a stance now. If you still want to come back to them, then we’re enemies. If you have no friendship with them, then you’re my friend!”

Singtuo’s eyes sparkled and he replied in a deep voice, “The ancestors of Dark Shaman Clan were chased and hunted by the Celestial Wizard Clan’s experts in the past. Many of our clansmen died in their hands as well. If there’s any relationship between us and them, it should be as enemies and never as friends!”

One of the top clansmen of the Dark Shaman Clan, a white-haired old man echoed. “It’s as Patriarch said. The Celestial Wizard Clan once hunted our ancestors and damaged our lineage greatly. It has been so many years, but we have never forgotten this hatred. Pity that our clan is too weak compared to them, or we could’ve sought justice for our ancestors.”

Singluen took a deep breath and solemnly stated. “What my father and everyone else said is correct, Mr. Tang. We never had any good impression toward the Celestial Wizard Clan, and have been wanting them destroyed instead. We won’t meddle in the blood feud between you and them. But if you provide us with many pills by which we can enhance the strength of the entire clan greatly, we can even help you in the future should you need our assistance.”

“SINGLUEN!”

Singtuo’s expression changed and he shouted. He didn’t want the Dark Shaman Clan to be involved in the blood feud between Tang Xiu and the Celestial Wizard Clan. Although he knew how close Singluen and Tang Xiu were, he still shouted to prevent it.

The old man, Singtuo’s father, however, looked surprised and slowly said, “Tuo’er, I approve Singluen’s suggestion. Our clan has never been able to seek justice for our ancestors. It’s all because we’re weak. But if our clansmen’s strength grows by leaps and bounds, I don’t see any reason why we can’t help Mr. Tang later.”

Singtuo quickly retorted. “But father, this matter is…”

The old man raised his hand to interrupt him and said to Tang Xiu, “Mr. Tang, we need the pills, but I hope you can exchange it with our clan at a fair price. I’m certain that you’ve heard from Singluen that the amount of Sorcerer Stones our clan has is but a few, so I hope you won’t cut us off from this resource.”

“You can rest assured about that. I’ve already considered it.” Tang Xiu nodded. “Also, I hope that all the Dark Shaman Clan’s senior members can keep this matter a secret. I don’t want my men’s hunt to kill the Celestial Wizard clansmen to be affected because of you.”

The old man raised his hand and vowed in a deep voice. “The Dark Shaman Clan will keep your secret as long as I’m alive. Should any of us violate it, they’ll be charged with treason! However, there’s one presumptuous request I’d like to ask you. And I hope Mr. Tang can help us.”

“Speak then!” Tang Xiu nodded.

“Singli is a senior member of our clan, and his strength is second only to my son, Singtuo,” said the old man. “He has betrayed the clan and is a sinner. If your men find his trail during their missions, I hope you can tell us promptly.”

“No problem. I’ll tell you his whereabouts should we find any news of Singli,” replied Tang Xiu. “Also, I can’t attend the ceremonial homage for the patriarch seat coronation. I also hope that we can be friends and not enemies in the future.”

“Hmm.”

The members of Dark Shaman Clan nodded together. They may not like Tang Xiu since many of their clansmen died in Tang Xiu’s hands, but their lives were in Tang Xiu’s hands now, and it was very likely that they and the clan would obtain many benefits from him in the future. It was just natural that they didn’t dare to act otherwise.

A few minutes later, in order to fulfill his promise, Singluen asked his father to open the clan’s vault and hand over all the Demon Stones he owed Tang Xiu. He even gifted the Radiance Bloodstone to Tang Xiu to thank him for his help.

Bangkok, at the coconut plantation.

After Tang Xiu and Mo Awu returned to this place, he found that Zuo Daquan was supervising his men as they cleaned up the rubble. Upon seeing his sweaty and tired face, Tang Xiu took a porcelain bottle from his interspatial ring, then took a drop of Body Tempering Liquid and put it in the bottle before coming before him.

“Mr. Zuo.”

Upon seeing Tang Xiu’s arrival, Zuo Daquan immediately looked pleasantly surprised and a bit respectful, saying, “You’re back, Mr. Tang. Kanaja has just left, but he left a message for you inviting you to his place if you have time.”

“I already called him on the way here,” replied Tang Xiu. “Anyway, I need to leave soon since there’s an urgent matter, so I won’t be able to visit him. Also, I’d like to borrow your place to do something and will immediately leave after that.”

“Here?” Zuo Daquan’s expression turned strange. “But this place is already a ruin, Mr. Tang. I’ve settled Qing’er and my two grandsons in the hotel. May I know why do you want to borrow my place?”
