Chapter 126 The Rules of the Tang Clan
Chapter 126 The Rules of the Tang Clan
Yang Lie's indifference to death moved countless viewers once again, and even Zhang Wang in the video fell silent.
"Zhang Wang, Yang Lie is right. Go help the others. You don't need to stay here," Yu Huizhong said to Zhang Wang, then turned to look at Yang Lie and the other two.
"But you three, you've just been through the hellish ordeal at Mianshan, don't be so quick to talk about death. Back then, none of the ten were chosen from the draw, not even Mingyi! It's true..."
"So if this really has to involve risking one's life... why not let Xiao Zhangwang go instead!"
"Hey!"
Zhang Wang froze on the spot when he saw Yu Huizhong covering her mouth and laughing while pointing at him.
But Zhang Wang knew that although Yu Huizhong said that he was going to his death, it would actually be safer for him to stay away from the three of them.
The reason why Bihe Ren sent so many people was to find Yang Lie and his two companions. If Zhang Wang stayed behind, he would inevitably run into Bihe Ren sooner or later.
Sure enough, not long after Zhang Wang left, a group of thugs successfully found Yang Lie and his two companions.
The person leading the group was someone the audience recognized.
It was the chubby boy who was the last one spared by Yang Lie and his two companions during the Battle of Mianshan.
……
Tang Tomb.
A disciple suddenly entered the Tang Tomb and transmitted a message to Tang Bingwen.
"Sect Master, the Celestial Master has personally come to pay his respects."
Tang Bingwen didn't even turn his head. "I've said it before, I won't see anyone who comes to pay their respects! You've seen so many groups off already, why are you asking me again?"
"Guests are welcome, and we know why they've come. See them out! But we must not be impolite! Understand?"
"I told you! But the Celestial Master won't leave!" the disciple said helplessly. "He said that you led me to Longhu Mountain to beat his disciple back then, and he's here to avenge me. He wants to fight you to the death! If you don't come out, he'll come to the Tang Tomb to find you."
Tang Bingwen sighed helplessly, turned around, and walked out of the Tang Tomb.
Most of the audience were ordinary people who didn't understand why so many sects would come to visit the Tang Clan at this time, nor did they understand why Tang Bingwen wanted to send them all away.
[Tangmen Front Hall]
The contemporary Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing said apologetically, "Sect Leader, I'm so sorry! I was afraid you would kick me out as soon as you arrived, so I could only talk nonsense. Please forgive me!"
"Celestial Master, since you know my attitude, why bother?"
As the two talked, the ordinary people learned about a rule that had been passed down in the Tang Clan for many years.
From its inception, the Tang Clan has absolutely refused to accept help from outsiders!
Zhang Jingqing pointed to her two disciples in front of her, "As long as the sect leader agrees, my two rebellious disciples will stay in the Tang Sect to work as assistants! They can be at your beck and call!"
The Celestial Master brought his two most outstanding disciples.
Zhang Zhiwei, the future Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.
Zhang Huaiyi, who comprehended the source flow of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques Qi Body.
"Celestial Master, our Tang Clan is not ungrateful. We are extremely grateful that your Celestial Master's Mansion and other sects are willing to help us fight against the Bihe Ren!"
But we can only accept it in our hearts.
The battle at Mianshan was ultimately a business deal for our Tang Clan. The current conflict with the Bihe Ren is simply the aftermath of that deal. Since it's a Tang Clan transaction, it must be conducted according to the rules. Outsiders are absolutely not allowed to interfere in Tang Clan transactions!
"Pedantic..."
Zhang Jingqing didn't understand Tang Bingwen's insistence, only thinking that he was upholding the rules passed down in the Tang Clan.
In order to resist the Japanese, the Tang Clan stepped forward and publicly assassinated the leader of the Hiei Mountain Ninja, which spread throughout the entire world of supernatural beings!
Now, in order to preserve the ninja leader, the Bihe Ninja have mobilized their entire forces to fight against the Tang Clan. Various sects in the world of supernatural beings want to send people to help the Tang Clan.
But Tang Bingwen rejected them all.
The audience didn't understand Tang Bingwen's insistence, and even some of the disciples in the Tang Clan who were watching the video didn't understand Tang Bingwen's choice.
Seeing Zhang Jingqing's incomprehension, Tang Bingwen pointed to his eyes and said to himself.
"Does the Celestial Master know how I went blind in this eye?"
When I was a teenager, I accepted a commission to assassinate a master.
That expert was extremely skilled and meticulous. I failed in all three of my assassination attempts... I lost my eyes in his house, but he still showed me mercy and didn't take my life.
How do you feel about him/her?
"He has done everything he could to be benevolent and righteous..."
Tang Bingwen nodded in response to Zhang Jingqing's answer.
"Yes, he was incredibly kind to me... but I still killed him. I had been watching him for three years, and finally I found a weakness that allowed me to kill him..."
Not only Zhang Jingqing fell silent, but most of the people watching the video also fell silent.
After all, in the eyes of modern people, Tang Bingwen's actions are too different from their values.
Tang Bingwen slowly spoke the two most crucial rules of the Tang Clan to the silent Celestial Master.
"First, once we accept the commission, no matter who the other party is, we will kill them without hesitation!"
"Secondly, when we make a move, it doesn't matter who wins or loses, it's all about life and death!"
"Even if it takes a long time, as long as the employer doesn't give the order, we'll keep watching until either ourselves or the target is dead or unknown..."
Our opponent this time, the Higanbana, is actually in cahoots with us. The hatred between us cannot be resolved by simply agreeing to meet in one place for a good fight.
Three years? Five years? Ten years? Unless one side completely disappears, I estimate this battle will continue to plague the Tang Clan...
Celestial Master... how long can your esteemed disciples and other skilled practitioners from various schools hold out for our Tang Clan?
After listening to Tang Bingwen's account, Zhang Jingqing finally understood his thoughts.
"I understand."
After a long while, the comments on the video finally started appearing again.
"Was the world of supernatural beings... really this cruel?"
People who grew up in peacetime cannot understand why people would fight each other for so long.
Can human hatred truly transcend time, with people fighting each other for decades?
Xia Liuqing looked at Lü Liang, who was staring in disbelief, and teased him with a smile.
"What? Our acting sect leader is scared? You guys are lucky to be born in such a good time. Back in my day, the world of supernatural beings... tsk."
Lu Liang glanced at Xia Liuqing, "I just admire your resilience. It must have been tough for Old Xia to live this long. Then my great-grandfather must have been a tough character to survive that era."
"Of course! Your great-grandfather was known as the Mad Dog! Do you think that nickname came from?"
"In that case, I'll have to plan carefully how to deal with my great-grandfather."
