Chapter 660: Chapter 660 The Faith of the Tang Sword!

Where is Inoue Kazuo?

A booming shout echoed out.

The faces of Caozhi Zhenyan and the others turned ugly.

It was clear that the voice came from someone of Xuan Country.

How could there be a voice of someone from Xuan Country? The faces of the members of the Caozhi clan grew grim.

Especially for Caozhi Zhenyan, today was the day of their Shrine’s ceremony, and the person they were commemorating was a crucial figure. They absolutely couldn’t let anyone from Xuan Country learn anything significant.

Turning around, they saw that the member of the Caozhi clan holding the Tang Sword was gripping the person hugging the sword tightly.

"How is this possible? The Tang Sword, which has been submerged for ten years, has shown no signs of activity. How could it suddenly start moving!" Caozhi Zhenyan remembered the moment ten years ago when the Tang Sword moved in the hands of a Tang, dancing like a Divine Artifact.

Thinking of that person’s death, Caozhi Zhenyan’s heart couldn’t help but tremble!

It was not only the Tang Sword that started trembling but also his heart.

"I can’t suppress the Tang Sword anymore!" exclaimed the clan member who was holding the Tang Sword.

Then they saw that the Tang Sword seemed to be attracted by some mysterious force, its body trembling with a rustling sound, almost slipping from the person’s grasp.

"Quick, help me, Father!"

"I’m coming!" Caozhi Zhenyan’s face turned grave as he stepped forward and reached out to grab the Tang Sword.

The sensation from the sword made Caozhi Zhenyan’s blood boil. He forcibly used his Blood Power to finally suppress the Tang Sword.

Suddenly, Caozhi Zhenyan’s brow furrowed. If the Tang Sword had become like this, there must be a problem—could it be the people outside?

"Father, how should we deal with the people from Xuan Country outside?"

"Let’s go and meet them!" Caozhi Zhenyan immediately walked outside the Shrine.

At this moment, outside the Shrine, Tang Zhong stood with the Blood Sword in hand, looming in the air like a divine presence.

He was looking for Inoue Kazuo and shouted again, "Where is Inoue Kazuo?"

Just as Caozhi Zhenyan appeared, he saw Tang Zhong from a great distance and his face turned sour, especially when he saw the Blood Sword in Tang Zhong’s hands, his gaze became even more solemn.

"May I ask who you are?"

"I’m only asking, where is Inoue Kazuo?" Tang Zhong continued.

He had only heard that this time Inoue Kazuo would appear above.

Caozhi Zhenyan’s expression changed slightly, "Your tone is rather bold. I would like to know on what grounds you have the right to meet Master Inoue. Inoue is the most powerful man in Bei Country. Today is the day for the Caozhi Family to honor the Shrine, so leave at once, or don’t blame me for being rude!"

"I am asking now, where is Inoue Kazuo?" Tang Zhong demanded.

"Is Master Inoue someone you can just meet because you want to?" chimed in one of the Caozhi members coldly.

"Moreover, who do you think you are, wanting to meet Master Inoue!" another one said as they clenched their fist and approached Tang Zhong, "You disrespect Master Inoue. Die!"

Immediately, this person turned to Caozhi Zhenyan and said, "Father, let your son strike for Master Inoue!"

"Go!" nodded Caozhi Zhenyan.

Then the speaker spun around to face Tang Zhong, an icy smile on their face, "You dare disrespect Master Inoue, prepare to die!"

In an instant, a palm blasted towards Tang Zhong.

But Tang Zhong gave him no time to think as he swept his Blood Sword.

The sword’s momentum was mighty and surged forward, making all other attacks seem futile.

He came to Bei Country to find Inoue Kazuo, and he didn’t want to waste time.

"I am asking you, where is Inoue Kazuo?"

The huge Blood Sword swept across.

"Not good!" seeing the scene unfold before him, Caozhi Zhenyan quickly shouted.

But as the words were barely out of his mouth.

The Blood Sword had already arrived, cleaving the Caozhi clansman in two.

Seeing his family member killed.

Caozhi Zhenyan’s eyes seemed ready to burst into flames, "You... You dare to kill a member of the Caozhi family, I’ll have you dead!"

Tang Zhong, shouldering the Blood Sword, sneered, "I’ve already killed one before, this makes it the second!"

"What?" Caozhi Zhenyan frowned, not understanding what he meant.

His phone rang suddenly, and seeing it was Ren Wei calling, Caozhi Zhenyan of course remembered this was a junior from a major family in Xuan Country, and wondered what he was calling about. As soon as he answered, an anxious voice came from the other end.

"Grandfather Caozhi, Caozhi Cangsi has been murdered!" came Ren Wei’s anxious voice swiftly after.

"What?" Caozhi Zhenyan’s face turned ugly in an instant.

"Who did it?"

"That person went up Shuangshui Mountain!"

On hearing this, Caozhi Zhenyan’s gaze fell quickly on Tang Zhong, with an icy tone he said, "You killed Cangsi, I will make sure to butcher you!"

Caozhi Cangsi was the grandson he valued most, yet now he had been killed.

"As someone from Xuan Country, coming to our Bei Country and acting wild is a bit much, isn’t it? There have been people from Xuan Country who did the same in the past, and they ended up killed by us. I believe, your fate will be the same as theirs!" Caozhi Zhenyan said coldly.

"That person’s surname was Tang, right?" Tang Zhong asked, his fist clenched unconsciously.

In the past, Grandfather Zhang Changgong had told him that in the entire Bei Country, no one could rival his grandfather Tang Zongyao. Yet, his grandfather had died in Bei Country, which meant there must’ve been some trickery at play.

Now that he had received this information from Caozhi Zhenyan’s own mouth, the use of "we" indicated that when his grandfather had come to Bei Country, these people had joined together against his grandfather, Tang Zongyao.

Upon hearing Tang Zhong’s words, Caozhi Zhenyan’s brow knitted even tighter. Ten years ago, Tang Zongyao came alone to Bei Country and was betrayed and killed by them. Such things were not strange on the mountain of Bei Country’s martial arts, meaning Xuan Country must surely know about it.

"Heh, knowing that it has to do with the surname Tang and yet daring to act up!" Caozhi Zhenyan said.

A cold smile hung on Tang Zhong’s face, "Not only do I know his surname was Tang, but I also know the knife in your hand is called the Tang Sword!"

Just before, with a single glance, Tang Zhong had recognized the Tang Sword—one of the ten famous swords. From a young age, he had heard of its appearance and remembered it well. The Tang Sword was the very blade his grandfather had once worn at his side.

This meant that the Caozhi family had surely had a hand in the murder of his grandfather at the hands of Bei Country’s people.

On hearing Tang Zhong’s words, Caozhi Zhenyan’s face turned even uglier in an instant, "You... How do you know that?"

Knowing the surname Tang was one thing, but knowing about the Tang Sword was on an entirely different level.

"Because my surname is also Tang, and my name is Tang Zhong, Tang Zongyao was my grandfather!" Tang Zhong stated calmly.

Immediately, his eyes narrowed.

At that moment, he extended his hand from afar, feeling the murderous aura emanating from the Tang Sword even from a great distance.

That was a blade belonging to people surnamed Tang, not meant to be touched by others.

At that moment, as if sensing the aura on Tang Zhong’s body, the Tang Sword began to tremble.

Caozhi Zhenyan was still gripping the Tang Sword tightly in his hand, preventing it from moving, but he could no longer suppress it. The Tang Sword was just a blade, but it was like an uncontrollable bull.

That was the belief of those surnamed Tang!

Only those surnamed Tang were worthy of wielding such a weapon; others were not worthy.

Then, Caozhi Zhenyan could no longer hold onto the Tang Sword, and saw the blade flying straight out, heading towards Tang Zhong.

Tang Zhong simply looked at the sword and extended his hand to catch it.

The Tang Sword belonged to him because, like him, the Tang Sword shared the surname Tang!

Then he looked ahead.

His grandfather had fallen here once, so today, he would begin to reclaim the honor his grandfather had lost in this place!
