Chapter 326 - Chapter 326: Chapter 319 Borrowing the Power of the Tang Family to Destroy the Enemy_1 (2/2)

Qin Niu got straight to the point.

“When did He Jun escape?”

Upon hearing that Qin Niu had slain all the other Innate Realm powerhouses of the He Family, Tang Yan was truly shocked.

After the initial shock, he had gradually calmed down.

Qin Niu had arranged a marriage with Tang Caixian, making him half a member of the Tang Family.

As the saying goes, help family over justice.

Tang Yan would certainly help Qin Niu eliminate the threat of He Jun.

“My battle with the He Family took place in the evening. He Jun fled to Black Tiger City; the city gates must have already been closed by that time. However, whether he had any special way to enter the city, that’s hard to say.

If He Jun hasn’t entered the city, I’d like to ask you to use your influence to watch over several city gates. As soon as He Jun is spotted, I will take him down immediately.

If He Jun has already entered the city, just finding his residence will suffice.”

Qin Niu revealed some critical information.

This allowed Tang Yan to have a better chance to think it over.

“Master Qin was newly appointed as a first-class noble, and as long as the stakes are high enough, the Lu Family might indeed take action. If He Jun has already entered the city, trying to kill him would be almost impossible. The law within the city is strict and killing someone at whim is a grave crime.”

Tang Yan, who was deeply aware of the character of the great clans,

knew that the Lu Family could very well act against Qin Niu if the benefits were significant enough.

“Now, let’s hope He Jun hasn’t entered the city yet; that will give us a chance to kill him. If he has already made it inside, I advise Master Qin to give up. Please sit here for a bit while I go out to make inquiries. I’ll be back quickly.”

After finishing, Tang Yan went inside to dress and left the house.

Shortly after, he returned.

“It seems that He Jun has not yet entered the city. I have already sent people to watch the four city gates overnight. As soon as He Jun appears, we will get word immediately. Master Qin, now you need to guard not just against He Jun but also against any major family within the city.

Your ability to kill several Innate Realm powerhouses of the He Family proves you are strong.

However, the great families in the city, one by one, have profound foundations and can easily obliterate an Innate Realm powerhouse.

The Lu Family controls the City Defense Force. If they intend to assist the He Family, then your situation will become very dangerous. I suggest you leave the city immediately and flee far away the moment things look sour. Although I hold some official rank within the city, I can’t stir even a ripple in front of the Lu Family.”

Tang Yan confided his thoughts to Qin Niu.

“Brother Tang speaks the truth. If I can get through this crisis, it would also mean a rapid rise for the Tang Family. Even if the Lu Family takes action, it’s not necessarily a no-win situation. Right now, all we can do is take it one step at a time.”

He was also subtly indicating to Tang Yan the benefits of helping him through this ordeal.

“Alas, the fortunes and misfortunes of life are unpredictable and cannot be foreseen. I was thinking of returning to Shuangfeng Village in a few days to congratulate Master Qin on his noble title and then discuss some important matters. Who could have anticipated such a sudden calamity? It’s all about timing and fate. One thing I can promise is that I will do everything in my power to help you.”

Tang Yan expressed his stance to him.

“Thank you so much!”

Qin Niu expressed his gratitude with a clasped hand gesture.

Sometimes, taking a couple of extra wives isn’t such a bad thing.

With that layer of marital ties, it’s like having your own people.

Many resources can be utilized.

As they were talking, a gray sparrow flew in from outside.

Tang Yan whistled to it, and it immediately flew into the room, landing on his hand.

He removed a piece of paper from its leg.

Tang Yan had some tricks up his sleeve to firmly establish his position in the city and reach a certain height.

“A suspicious person has been spotted, at the West Gate, most likely to be He Jun,”

Tang Yan said.

“Alright, I’m on my way immediately.”

Qin Niu’s spirits were lifted, and he hurried towards the West City Gate.

By the time he arrived, it was already somewhat late.

He Jun had already called for the city gates to be opened and was talking with the soldiers on guard.

The City Defense Army was under the control of the Lu Family, and He Jun had sought an audience with the Lu Family’s leader, which led to the opening of the city gates.

“Green Ox, we have only one chance; if we kill this man, I can rest easy. No one from the He Family will be left to threaten me,”

Qin Niu understood very well that for a family to cultivate an Innate Realm powerhouse was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

The real estates of the He Family would eventually be taken by other families if they didn’t end up in Qin Niu’s hands.

The remaining forty or so were mostly the He Family’s own kin.

They would have a hard time making any significant waves.
