Chapter 724: Chapter 724: Even more formidable!

The ancient culture of Xuan Country is centered on tea, so when it comes time to meet someone, they would always offer tea to discern the thoughts of the other party.

If the other party agrees, they would accept and drink it straight away; if they are unwilling, they would refuse just like now. As for those with hatred, they would probably directly overturn the tea onto the ground with a sweep of their sleeve.

Clearly, the intentions of these three people here are definitely not simple!

Tang Zhong, standing beside him, saw Vermilion Bird say "It’s bad" and quickly asked, "What’s going on?"

"Just be careful!" Vermilion Bird cautioned.

At this moment, Zhang Changgong’s face darkened slightly.

After all, the three countries represented by the visitors are also powerful nations of the current age; their experts can certainly match those of Xuan Country, so they must not be taken lightly.

Just then, the Combat Trio looked at Zhang Changgong and said, "Actually, we have come to Xuan Country with a purpose!"

"What purpose?" Zhang Changgong, knowing full well what the other party meant, could only pretend to be ignorant.

The Combat Trio revealed a mocking smile, "Don’t tell me you people of Xuan Country are unaware of the huge earthquake that befell your neighboring Bei Country?"

"This, of course we know, and we feel sad for the great disaster that has struck Bei Country!" said Zhang Changgong.

As far as Zhang Changgong was concerned, it wouldn’t matter to him if Bei Country was blasted to oblivion, but to avoid giving anything away, he had to display a saddened demeanor.

Seeing Zhang Changgong speak, the brows of the Combat Trio slightly furrowed, "So, it seems that Xuan Country really doesn’t know what caused that so-called earthquake!"

"Earthquakes are natural disasters; what do they have to do with our Xuan Country?" Zhang Changgong replied.

"However, there is a rumor that this earthquake was caused by someone from Xuan Country; after all, you have had ethnic hatred with Bei Country in the past, making you the most suspicious!" The Poker Queen spoke up, holding a Jack of Spades in her hand, looking very much the part.

Zhang Changgong’s face darkened slightly upon hearing this.

It seems Xuan Country really is being targeted, but he laughed and said, "I’m afraid you all are overthinking it; how could Xuan Country have such power!"

Vermilion Bird and the others beside him frowned.

"What are they doing?" Tang Zhong asked.

His heart was set on the valley of the Arctic; he had no time to wait.

The good life he hoped for lay ahead of him.

"They are testing each other, but we, the Martial Arts community, don’t have as many fancy words as the Scholarly Realm. In any case, we must not let these people know that the bombing of Bei Country has anything to do with Xuan Country!" Vermilion Bird said.

Tang Zhong also felt that the negotiations were indeed simplistic, but he really couldn’t wait any longer.

"I’m going!"

"Going where?" Vermilion Bird became anxious.

"To deal with these people, who have so much nonsense to discuss!" Tang Zhong declared bluntly.

"What are you going to do?"

"Drive them all away!" Tang Zhong pointed at the people in front and shouted, then stepped out from the crowd.

"What?" Vermilion Bird’s entire face turned ugly, wanting to hold Tang Zhong back, but it was too late, Tang Zhong had already walked out.

White Tiger and Li Linglong were also stunned, not expecting Tang Zhong to suddenly step out. What was this guy thinking?

This was too irregular.

All Xuan Country had to do now was keep quiet about the incident, and there would have been no issue at all—the Combat Clan’s trio and the others would probably have had to return from whence they came. But now Tang Zhong had unexpectedly jumped out; it was too outrageous.

Zhang Changgong’s face also changed.

At that moment, Tang Zhong stepped out and stood in the center of the area.

When several people saw Tang Zhong step out, their faces were filled with astonishment; they had not anticipated someone would stand up at this juncture.

The Poker Queen’s lips curved slightly upward, as she said to Zhang Changgong beside her, "This person must be a junior from your Xuan Country, right? Doesn’t he know we were conversing? What’s the meaning of stepping out like this?"

Zhang Changgong couldn’t let them know about Tang Zhong’s existence and quickly gestured to Tang Zhong to step back, and at the same time chided, "What are you doing? Retreat at once!"

Tang Zhong paid no attention to Zhang Changgong and directly addressed the questioning people in front of him, "First, let me answer your question from earlier. What do you mean by accusing our Xuan Country people of causing the earthquake? Also, as for the earthquake in Bei Country, what does it have to do with us? Just let it quake to its heart’s content. I just have one question—what the hell does it have to do with you?"

He knew what he was doing, but he couldn’t indulge these people either.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Combat Clan’s trio and the others looked extremely ugly!

Zhang Changgong’s brow was tightly furrowed.

Vermilion Bird and the others were completely dumbfounded, speechless to the extreme as they watched Tang Zhong. How could this guy be so foolish? It was clear that they were causing him trouble, and all the people of Xuan Country were protecting him, yet he had the audacity to stand out directly; wasn’t this tantamount to seeking death?

Yet Tang Zhong did not stop there; looking at the Combat Clan’s trio with a smile, he said, "We in Xuan Country have an old saying, ’it’s like a dog trying to catch mice, meddling in others’ business.’ Do any of you feel like you are the dog here?"

Upon hearing these words, one member of the Combat Clan’s trio clenched his fists tightly, grinding his teeth in anger, "Brat, what did you say?"

"Seems like you’re unwilling, huh?" Tang Zhong said with a laugh, "Could it be that you’re playing the role of the eunuch who is more anxious than the emperor?"

Eunuch—a grave insult to a man.

The Combat Clan’s trio had only learned rudimentary Xuan Country language, so they did not understand the deeper meaning. However, when the people of Xuan Country heard Tang Zhong’s words, they broke out in laughter. Only then did the trio sense something was amiss and roared at Tang Zhong, "What did you say?"

"What I said—you still don’t understand? This is Xuan Country, and it’s not your place to interrupt. Bei Country can quake however it pleases, and if anyone should come, it should be someone from Bei Country. What are you all worth to come here? Of course, you can come, but that would be when Luo Country, Water Country, and Yun Country are also trembling. Then you can come to us in Xuan Country... If not, there’s the door. Please leave!" Tang Zhong said all this in one breath and then pointed to the door ahead.

At that moment, everyone was stunned.

Nobody expected such an outcome—it was as if he was ushering them away.

But Tang Zhong was correct; this earthquake in Bei Country should only be investigated by the people of Bei Country. What business did these people have interfering?

Because they were so focused on protecting Tang Zhong, they nearly forgot the matter at hand.

Instinctively, the people of Xuan Country all began to straighten their spines.

The Combat Clan came from a warrior culture and had a naturally explosive temper, and were now completely enraged. However, as they were still in Xuan Country, they dared not act rashly. Turning to Zhang Changgong, they said, "Zhang Changgong, is this how Xuan Country treats its guests? This time, I’m truly witnessing the might of Xuan Country!"

Zhang Changgong, now also standing on Tang Zhong’s side, was about to respond, but Tang Zhong stole the opportunity, "There’s something even mightier—would you like to try it?"
