Chapter 637: Chapter 513 Significant Progress in Sword Intent + Chapter 514 A Major Disaster Looms_4

This battle, whether we fight or not, must be fought. Otherwise, we will have no place to bury our dead.

"Exactly. Despite the Brahma Heaven Sect’s haughty attitude, pressing down on our Tang Family, it is after all that for a thousand years, we have lived in peace, always leaving some face.

Unlike the Cloud Water Sect, with whom our Tang Family not only has no friendship but also bears numerous grudges of slaughter, allowing them to station in Jiangzhou would mean that we have no standing ground, and a millennium of our family’s fame would be ruined in an instant.

We cannot decide on this matter alone. We must venerate our ancestors and ask for their aid, hoping that the forebears of our Blessed Land will protect us."

To the southeast of Jiangzhou, at the Tang Family Ancestral Hall, it was already densely packed with people either sitting or standing, a full thousand in number, where all the masters and elders from every branch and every lineage expressed their indignation.

Even if on normal days, they fought tooth and nail over resources, now, they can’t help but feel united in a shared hatred for the enemy.

As an Elder of the Blessed Land, Tang Shihong is amiable and likable, especially caring towards the younger generation.

He dislikes the chilly and isolated cultivation within the Blessed Land; instead, he prefers the lively atmosphere of the outside world.

Thus, across a hundred years, seventy to eighty of them were spent teaching the younger generation within the family.

The number of disciples who have benefitted from his grace is not merely a thousand but at least several hundred for certain.

All younger members of the Tang Family know that this Elder Shihong has given up his own cultivation to focus completely on nurturing the next generation, sacrificing a great deal.

Otherwise, with his astonishing talent, he might even have had the possibility of reaching the Divine Martial Realm.

How profound is this grace?

This time, responding to the summon of Jiangzhou Fantian Temple, joining forces with two major powers, we thought we were just facing the soldiers of Guangyun County, and the opposing general was just an unpopular disciple from an Outer Peak of the Cloud Water Sect; no matter how you look at it, it seemed like an easy capture, a simple crushing victory.

However, the outcome was not as anticipated...

As the disastrous news arrived.

The Tang Family, high and low, simply refused to believe it.

The first reaction was to hold great resentment towards the Brahma Heaven Sect.

Believing the Sect had caused the incident, and moreover, that it had secretly betrayed its ally.

Fortunately, the wise old heads in the family promptly exerted their influence, investigated the entirety of the battle that had taken place at Xiao Mountain that evening, and only then accepted the reality.

"If we do not avenge this, we are unfit to be called sons."

"We must not let Elder Shihong down; his spirit in heaven will be watching. This time, I will personally lead the troops, and I vow to behead Zhou Ping’an and Bai He. The million descendants of our Tang Clan will rise up; just Guangyun alone, we can annihilate in one battle!"

A burly man, with a face as coarse as sandpaper and eyes wide like copper bells, roared angrily.

In a moment, a murderous aura filled the sky.

The fame of a Thousand-year-old family is not blown out of thin air.

But fought for with territory.

Even during the great calamity of a thousand years ago, when ghosts roamed the night and the cycle of life prospered, the Tang Family had never faced such a huge loss.

The dead were mostly the younger members of the clan.

Very few were from the True Martial Realm, and reaching the level of the Dharma Manifestation Realm,

None were lost.

This time, just as the battle had begun, an ancestor was lost; while everyone was angry, they also felt a hint of chilling dread.

...

Yunzhou.

Hushan County...

Fang Chengdong and Gu Mingxiao stood on the summit of a mountain,

Overlooking the vast army camps stretching ten li below.

Yet the two had the leisure to smile and converse.

"Hong Ye has been defeated, the three Elders of the Nine Luminaries Peak also retreated after seeing the opportunity; probably they won’t dare to launch a strong attack again. These old fellows are truly difficult to handle; wanting to eradicate their roots in one battle is not easy."

Fang Chengdong stroked his beard lightly, chuckling.

The situation in Yunzhou is extremely favorable.

The Pei Family has already allied with the Cloud Water Sect.

The hard-edged rebellion-quelling general Xiao Yuanfang could only accept the situation with reluctance, in the face of Yunzhou’s overall situation.

Even if after the rebellion is quelled, if this army were to have any second thoughts, facing the armies of the Cloud Water Sect and the Pei Family, there would be no way to cause any turmoil.

As for Guangyun County, it’s said that Zhou Ping’an has gone up the mountains and even gained the upper hand, seizing Turing.

"Originally, I had high hopes for him, but I didn’t expect him to be so unwise, offending the Elders of the Inner Residence, he won’t end well."

Gu Mingxiao listened and sighed: "Indeed, with Guangyun County’s army isolated, it’s impossible to confront Fantian Temple. Young people, they always fail to understand that sometimes choosing is more important than striving; I’m afraid his defeat is imminent, I just hope he sees the situation clearly and withdraws early to save his own life."

"It’s a pity, such a talented and intelligent person. If he escaped to Yunzhou, sought refuge with Zhong Shu, at least he could build some achievements. Coming late might mean getting nothing."

Fang Chengdong shook his head.

Knowing Zhou Ping’an’s pride and arrogance, feared this time, would be a disaster upon him.
