Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 977
Chapter 977 Fierce Competition
Essence Pill after Essence Pill was refined by Ye Feng. Almost twenty days had passed in the gravity room. Ye Feng finally felt his realm loosen.
In the past 20 days, Ye Feng had also consumed 100 million Essence Pill, which was extremely terrifying.
Standing up, Ye Feng continued to go deeper. Although he felt the opportunity to break through, now was not the time to do so.
These past few days, Qin Cheng had regained its calm, but under this calm, there were hidden turbulent undercurrents. Yang Dan and the others were still staying in Qin Cheng, and they would not rest until they found Ye Feng.
The Yuan Dynasty royal family Little Princess once again personally came to Qin Cheng, bringing along five garment guards, preparing to capture Ye Feng.
Unfortunately, a month had passed and Ye Feng disappeared without a trace like a rock sinking into the sea.
It was less than half a year before the secret realm opened. Four more months would be the opening day. Some genius disciples all went back to seclusion and took advantage of this final period to increase their strength. Only in this way would they have the ability to survive in the secret realm.
Therefore, the search for Ye Feng could only be slowed down.
At the same time, there was also a fierce battle in the Tang Clan. Tang Wu’s face was filled with anger. His son had actually disappeared for such a long time, and no one knew of his whereabouts.
“To think that such an unscrupulous disciple would appear in our Tang Clan. He has offended the Yuan Dynasty royal family repeatedly, and now he has offended the Heavenly Sect. He has provoked hundreds of disciples from the Heavenly Sect to search for him with the Yuan Dynasty royal family. If he is threatened by the Heavenly Sect and the Yuan Dynasty royal family, what face does our Tang Clan have?”
Lord Qianshan Peak’s face was filled with anger. He had also received news of Qin Cheng these past few days. Naturally, the people pursued by the two families knew who it was.
‘”That’s right. Our Tang Clan has been on good terms with the two clans all these years. Now that we’ve been disrupted by the disciples of the Ancient Sword Peak, I suggest that we capture this brat and deal with him with our own methods!”
Li Shuifeng’s Peak Master echoed.
Listening to these people crushing his own son, Tang Wu’s expression was terribly gloomy, but he didn’t dare to reveal that Ye Feng was his son’s matter, so he definitely couldn’t reveal it.
“Are you all here to find me for this matter?”
Tang Wu took a deep breath and his expression returned to normal.
“Patriarch, don’t you think this matter is not serious? If these two families ask us to hand over people, what should we do? Why don’t we capture this brat first and deal with him directly?”
Lord Qianshan Peak said confidently. He didn’t have much respect for Tang Wu.
“What do you mean?”
Tang Wu looked at the other Peak Masters, wanting to hear their opinions.
‘”I think we should bring him back and ask him clearly. Furthermore, although the Tian Yi Sect and our Tang Clan have appeared to be very harmonious these past few years, there have been quite a few conflicts between disciples in secret. I feel that it’s not bad for our Tang Clan to be able to defeat the clamor of the Tian Yi Sect. Our Tang Clan has been showing weakness these past few years. It’s time for our Tang Clan to rise.”
Peak Master Yue Zhi said fairly.
“Peak Master Yue is right. We elders shouldn’t have participated in the fights between disciples. Besides, our Tang Clan didn’t do anything wrong this time. There is one thing I don’t understand. The Heavenly Sect and the Yuan Dynasty royal family swore to find people in Qin Cheng while our Tang Clan is waiting to die. This is a bit cold to our disciples’ hearts.”
Peak Master Lei Chang agreed with Peak Master Yue Zhifeng’s words. If the Tang Clan wanted to rise, they should be strong. Otherwise, they would always be suppressed by others.
In the gravity room, Ye Feng did not expect that his matter in Qin Cheng had already attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the Tang Clan.
It was mainly because Qin Cheng had caused too much commotion this time, because one person was involved in two major forces, and it was also Little Princess from the Yuan Dynasty royal family, so it was impossible for him not to attract attention.
Who was the Little Princess of the Yuan Dynasty? That was the reincarnation of a Celestial Immortal. Almost every place she went, she would be discussed for a long time.
“What a joke. To deal with such a disciple who only knows how to stir up trouble everywhere, we should deal with him so as not to harm our Tang Clan’s style.”
Lord Qianshan Peak’s face was filled with anger as he disagreed with the two Peak Masters’ words.
“Then tell me, what is our Tang Clan’s sect style? Should we not retaliate, curse, and allow others to slaughter us?”
Peak Master Lei Chang was also a hot-tempered person. He had long disliked Lord Qianshan Peak. Over the past few years, Qianshan Peak had continuously developed and had faintly become the largest mountain peak. Its influence spread throughout the entire Tang Clan, as if it was on par with the main peak.
“Everyone, don’t say a word. Before we can investigate the matter clearly, we have already started to fight amongst ourselves. The reason why the Tang Clan is declining has a lot to do with our endless internal strife.”
Peak Master Mei Yue was the only woman, holding a whisk in her hand, interrupting the quarrel between the two of them.
The other elders were all silent. Some were pondering, some were deep in thought, and some were ignoring it.
“First Elder, what do you mean?”
Looking at the endless quarrels below, Tang Wu’s head grew big. He turned his head and asked First Elder beside him.
“A bunch of old fools are worrying about a bunch of babies. Sigh, when did the Tang Clan end up like this?”
First Elder opened his eyes, his face filled with sorrow.
The surroundings fell into silence.
First Elder was second only to the Patriarch, and even more important than Tang Wu’s words. After all, First Elder had lived for thousands of years and had seen too many things.
“What First Elder means is that we should not interfere and let it develop?”
Tang Wu asked tentatively.
“The laws of the world have begun to change. If our Tang Clan wants to continue to develop, we must comply with the Heaven’s Will. If we continue to stand still, we won’t be far from annihilating the clan.”
After saying that, First Elder stood up and left. He seemed to be tired of such a family meeting.
‘”What First Elder said is correct. We are already quite old. Why worry about the young people? No matter what happens in the future, as long as we don’t do anything detrimental to the Tang Family, we should do our best to protect them.”
Peak Master Lei Chang still respected the important elders and agreed with him.
Regardless of what was happening outside, at the very least, the Tang Clan had to work together. Over the years, the Tang Clan had been separated from morality and was not far from splitting up. If they were unable to awaken in time, it would be sooner or later for them to exterminate their clan.
Lord Qianshan Peak glanced not far away. It was Tang Tianhao. At this moment, he did not say a word and had a faint smile on his lips.
“It’s a pity that the old patriarch is unable to cope. If the old patriarch were here, why would our Tang Clan fall to this state!”
Lord Qianshan Peak sighed and changed the subject.
“What does the decline of our Tang Clan have to do with our Patriarch? That’s our own incompetence!”
Peak Master Lei Chang was not used to hearing Lord Qianshan Peak’s words. The Tang Clan did not have their current status by relying on a single person. They had worked hard together to obtain it.
“Isn’t that so? After some people came up, what did they do in the past few years? Although our Tang Clan is now ranked among the five great clans, there are already many great clans in Qinli Middle Continent. They are not inferior to our Tang Clan in terms of status. We only occupy more resources than them.”
Lord Qianshan Peak said mockingly, then glanced at Tang Wu.
“You actually dare to deny the old master’s intentions.”
Tang Wu was chosen by the old clan. As the acting clan head of the Tang Clan, although he did not make any big moves these past few years, he was still in line with the rules and did not cause much damage to the Tang Clan. In fact, he was even recovering his vitality bit by bit.
“Do you have any objections to me, Peak Master Qian? If you have any objections, you can say it out loud. Let’s discuss it together.”
Tang Wu’s eyes narrowed. He had long known that the Qianshan Peak Lord and Tang Tianhao had come together. The two of them were secretly targeting him, causing the Tang Clan to basically form two factions.
“I don’t dare. How can I have any objections to the Patriarch? I’m just discussing the matter!”
Lord Qianshan Peak avoided the important points and ignored them. Everyone was not stupid and understood what Lord Qianshan Peak meant.
“Then you don’t think I’m worthy to be the head of the Tang Clan? Then who do you think should be the head of our Tang Clan?”
Tang Wu’s face was full of smiles as the fox’s tail finally leaked out.
“I’m just saying it casually. You don’t have to worry about it, Patriarch.”
Lord Qianshan Peak wanted to capture him and deliberately said it vaguely, letting everyone guess for themselves that Tang Wu still couldn’t grasp anything.
“Do you know that this casual remark will disturb the entire Tang Clan? Are you trying to provoke our Tang Clan?”
Tang Wu revealed a strong side, and a strong aura suppressed Lord Qianshan Peak. Last time, because of him, his son almost died in Gujian Peak, Tang Wu held back his breath. Today, he actually took the initiative to attack Ye Feng.
Now, he began to question his family head, which made Tang Wu utterly intolerable.
“What a mighty aura. Now that you’ve become the Patriarch, your tone has become formidable. You can casually exert pressure on others.”
Another imposing aura appeared and neutralized Tang Wu’s imposing aura. It was Tang Tianhao who was sitting not far away.
“Big brother, what do you mean? Don’t tell me you doubt father’s decision.”
Tang Wu turned his head and looked at Tang Tianhao.
“Big Brother, how could you doubt my father’s decision? I just hope that Second Brother will remember that our Tang Clan has established itself with virtue, trust and kindness. Did Second Brother violate one of our rules?”
Tang Tianhao’s tone was filled with a strange aura, causing people to feel extremely uncomfortable.
“Oh, then I want to know, which one did I violate?”
Tang Wu stared fixedly at Tang Tianhao. The fight between the two had been going on for decades, and it was no secret.
“De!”
“Our Tang Clan pays attention to morality, martial morality, and heart morality. No matter what happens, we have to convince others with morality. Wasn’t Second Brother a bit too radical just now? Lord Qianshan Peak just said his opinion. As for Second Brother, did he take action to suppress him?”
Tang Tianhao’s words were heartbreaking, and he actually described Tang Wu as an immoral person. This was the greatest insult to the Patriarch. He simply scolded people not to spit dirty words. Tang Wu’s expression was terribly gloomy.
Looks like using Ye Feng to say things today is secondary, wanting to crush him is the main thing.
“Brother Tianhao, it’s a bit too harsh to say that. Although the Tang Clan hasn’t improved much in recent years, it has stopped showing signs of decline. The Clan Head has done a good job these past few years.”
The Tang Clan’s affairs were no longer a secret. Peak Master Lei Chang knew that the two of them were competing for the position of Clan Master. However, everyone saw what Tang Wu had done in the past few years. He had already done a very good job.
“That’s right, then tell me, where did you do well these past few years?”
Tang Tianhao looked at Peak Master Lei Chang with a smile.
The scene fell into silence. A family meeting had actually evolved to this extent.
