66 Northern City Clan Under Siege (1/2)
A sullen-faced Grandfather Tang stood at the main door, his eyes glimmering with a tinge of hope. Finally, he found a hint of something, which might be a vital clue. However, he was done waiting. Sending out his troops in daylight would cause a huge pandemonium, but now that night had fallen, he had gathered all of Tang Family’s experts!
246 men!
Two of them were Earth Xuan experts with intermediate rank, four were Jade Xuan experts, 12 were Gold Xuan experts, 36 were Silver Xuan experts, and the rest had Level Nine Xuan Qi cultivation. This time around, Grandfather Tang Wan Li had gathered the forces of Tang Family from both inside and outside the city!
In the short span of just one afternoon, he had managed to mobilize all 246 men, who were the strongest within the Tang Family. They were the very foundation of the Tang Family!
This operation must be flawless!
”Our aim is the Northern City Clan for today’s operation,” announced Tang Wan Li sullenly. ”I do not want anyone from the clan to escape, especially those who hold the position of Hall Master or higher! I want them to be captured, ALIVE! Do not kill and do not be rash. Understood?”
”Understood!” answered the crowd in unison. They had no idea why they were going against the Northern City Clan, and they felt that it was too extreme to gather so many men just to deal with a mere Northern City Clan. However, upon seeing the grim expression on Tang Wan Li’s face, none of them dared to question him!
”I will be the one conducting today’s operation. If any of you dare to let a member of Northern City Clan escape, you will be beheaded!” commanded Grandfather Tang as he slowly scanned over everyone that was present. Seeing that everyone had listened raptly to his words, he waved his hands and shouted, ”Move out!”
Silently, 246 men clad in black from head to toe headed out into the night. Grandfather Tang strode towards the door, his coat rippling in the night wind. He was old but was still strong. Every step of his exuded strength and confidence; his unyielding determination to win tonight’s operation was apparent.
”Wait! I… I want to go too!” huffed a figure in black who had just rushed out from the inner courtyard. This figure looked like a human-sized black meatball - Tang Yuan. Even though Tang Yuan’s figure is extremely unsuitable for any kind of operation, he still wanted to join in the fun. However, he was too round to find any suitable black clothing, which was why he had simply wrapped himself in black cloth before rushing out.
”Roll back to your room!” commanded a furious Grandfather Tang, as he watched the human meatball roll towards him. Grandfather Tang kicked out his leg swiftly, and all 400 plus jin (241 kg) of Tang Yuan shot back towards his room, breaking the door of the room in the process. As he rolled, the black cloth on Tang Yuan’s body tore open, and his white buttocks and thighs could be seen. When he stopped moving, he was resting on his stomach, and his hands and legs were waving desperately in the air, similar to a tortoise that had fallen upside down. With nothing to leverage himself off the ground, Tang Yuan could only roll around, till he managed to push himself up by grabbing the door. With a sigh, he looked, disheartened, at the black and empty courtyard, not a soul in sight...
…
In the darkness of the night, a grand residence could be seen. Within it lay the leadership of the Northern City Clan.
Grandfather Tang’s beard fluttered about as he arranged his men. There were more than a hundred high level experts present, and the huge residence was getting cramped. Everyone was silent as they waited for Grandfather Tang to instruct them.
The other hundred men had separated into four groups, according to Grandfather Tang’s command. Each of the group was assigned to cover the four doorways of the Northern City Clan, their subordinates, casinos, brothels and other locations that were connected to the Northern City Clan. Even the houses of all the leadership of Northern City Clan were covered!
Grandfather Tang’s intention was to block off all possible routes of escape by the Northern City Clan and slowly force them inwards. They would then be surrounded from all sides and no one would be able to escape! Finally, the leadership of Northern City Clan would be wiped out last! With more than a hundred powerful experts surrounding the residence, the people would be trapped inside with no chance of escape.
