Chapter 844: Chapter 0844: The Strong Ming Group

Su Xiaoxi was in a state of dizziness. She originally thought that when the Ming Group people appeared, the scene would get out of control. She never expected Tang Ming would resolve it so easily.

Moreover, she couldn’t comprehend how Tang Ming’s identity in the Dark Group turned out to be real. Wasn’t it a fake identity Tang Ming created to help her get rid of Sun Zhuangjia’s harassment? How did it become real?

Looking at the departing backs of Tang Ming and the others, Zhou Hai uncertainly asked Sima Yu, "Sir, since this kid is from the Dark Group, why would he appear at the Martial Arts Conference? He couldn’t possibly be here for an inspection."

"Nonsense, didn’t you see he was holding two boxes?"

Sima Yu rolled his eyes at Zhou Hai and said irritably, "This guy is obviously here to buy things, and he’s buying them on behalf of the Dark Group. Otherwise, how could a youngster like him have so much money?"

"That seems to make sense."

Zhou Hai suddenly realized. When he thought about all the trouble he had given Tang Ming earlier, equivalent to offending the Dark Group head-on, he broke out in a cold sweat. If the Dark Group sought revenge, he might not even know how he died.

"Strange! The Ming Group and the Dark Group have always been at odds. Dark Group members are too prideful to attend our Martial Arts Conference. Why would they send such a guy to buy things this time?"

Sima Yu looked puzzled at the mountain below. Could it be this kid doesn’t know that doing so is very disgraceful and would make him a laughingstock?

Sima Yu could never imagine that although Tang Ming is a high-ranking member of the Dark Group, his understanding of the Dark Group is equivalent to that of the Ming Group, barely an external member. He doesn’t understand the conflicts and unwritten rules between the Dark Group and the Ming Group.

Of course, even if Tang Ming knew about these so-called rules, he wouldn’t care. His purpose for attending the Martial Arts Conference was merely to accompany Su Xiaoxi to shop. As for buying the Star-falling Iron for the Dark Group, it was because Liu Gaoze had specifically asked him for help, and it had nothing to do with the Dark Group.

"Master, this woman is not dead yet."

At this moment, Sun Yong, who was squatting beside Zhao Zhongxue, suddenly shouted, "What should we do with her?"

"Sir, what do you think we should do?"

Zhou Hai quickly sought Sima Yu’s opinion.

"Hmph! Send her to the hospital for treatment, then have the Zhao Family come and get her."

Sima Yu narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Although I don’t know who this Tang Xin is, he killed someone from the Zhao Family, and the Zhao Family will definitely not let it go. Let’s have the Zhao Family prob his background first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sima Yu turned and left the scene. He needed to report this situation.

When they reached the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, Su Xiaoxi got into the car. While starting the car, she asked Tang Ming, "Dear, where are we going now?"

"Didn’t I say, we need to go to the Heavenly Cloud Sect and deal with the matter related to that guy named Bai first."

Tang Ming put the two boxes on the back seat, leaned back in the front passenger seat, and closed his eyes to take a nap.

"But I feel it would be more rational to return to Songhai City first."

Su Xiaoxi glanced at Tang Ming and analyzed, "The Star-falling Iron and Heavenly Sound Poison Scorpion Egg are both very valuable, carrying them with us is too dangerous and inconvenient. Besides, I need to report back to the family; I can’t accompany you to the Heavenly Cloud Palace, I hope you understand."

Tang Ming froze for a moment. Upon thinking about it carefully, it did seem inappropriate to go directly to the Heavenly Cloud Palace now.

Liu Gaoze must need the Star-falling Iron for research, so we must first find a way to send it back. Also, Meng Ting and the others were still waiting at the provincial capital, if I left without a word, the three girls would surely worry.

"Alright, let’s go back to the provincial capital and handle what needs to be dealt with first, then I’ll go to the Heavenly Cloud Palace."

Tang Ming nodded. Although he was the leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team, he was not familiar at all with the sects’ forces in the martial arts world. He couldn’t predict how long it would take to go to the Heavenly Cloud Palace. It was better to deal with things first, so there would be no worries later.

Hence, Su Xiaoxi and Tang Ming drove towards the provincial capital.

At nightfall, Su Xiaoxi dropped Tang Ming off at the Blue Sky Hotel and quickly rushed back to the Su Family’s base to report.

When Tang Ming returned to the hotel suite, the three girls and Chen Cang hadn’t returned yet. He didn’t know if they were on a shopping spree or eating somewhere? He wasn’t concerned since Xin Badao and Chu Batian were protecting them; safety wasn’t an issue.

Looking at the two boxes on the table, Tang Ming felt conflicted.

Although Liu Gaoze needed the Star-falling Iron, he was in Songlan City.

Tang Ming had to handle business and couldn’t send it back to Songlan, but letting Liu Gaoze come to fetch such an important item made him uneasy.

After considering, Tang Ming took out his phone and dialed a number.

"The Martial Arts Conference just ended over there, and Tang Xin has already called me. Looks like you miss me more and more."

As the call connected, Lin Canghai’s voice came through.

"Stop flattering yourself."

Tang Ming scornfully dismissed, "You need to come to Songhai City as quickly as possible."

"West Sea Province’s provincial capital? What for?"

Lin Canghai was slightly taken aback and hesitated, "West Sea Province is Ming Group’s territory. If I go there rashly, it might cause disputes."

"Hmm? Why is this Ming Group’s territory?"

Tang Ming was instantly puzzled, "Isn’t the Ming Group an official organization? How can they occupy territory like kings?"

"Not quite occupy, but the Ming Group has set up a branch office in Songhai City. Given that they are stationed there, our people have no need to mingle with them."

Lin Canghai explained awkwardly, "In simple terms, Songhai City has a Ming Group branch, but not a Dark Group branch. We would be considered outsiders."

"If they have a branch, why don’t we?" Tang Ming asked, confused.

"Ahem, the Dark Group can’t intervene in the Ming Group’s affairs. Since the Ming Group has already set up a branch there, the Dark Group can’t manage Songhai City, so the Ming Group does not allow the Dark Group to establish a branch there."

Lin Canghai sighed helplessly.

The Ming Group and Dark Group have always fought each other, but the upper authorities have clearly stipulated that the Dark Group cannot interfere in the Ming Group’s affairs. Therefore, in cities where the Ming Group is stationed, the Dark Group cannot be stationed long-term. However, where the Dark Group is stationed, the Ming Group can set up a branch.

Once the Ming Group intervenes, any branch set up by the Dark Group becomes a façade, because the Dark Group can’t interfere in the Ming Group’s matters, and they won’t care about the Dark Group.

This led to the current situation where the structures of the Ming Group and the Dark Group are entirely different. The Ming Group has branches all over the country, while the Dark Group’s personnel are concentrated at the only domestic headquarters base and foreign battlefields. Only when the Ming Group can’t handle a situation will the Dark Group send people from headquarters to assist.
