Seventy I am looking for dregs
Tang Yan broke through to the four-star Dou Ling, and this matter was soon known by the supervisors outside. The first message was passed on to those sects and aristocratic families that had invested in Tang Yan. Especially the master of the Dongfang family, when he saw the intelligence in his hand, he couldn't believe it, thinking it was just a scam. Yesterday, he was only a seven-star Da Dou Shi, how could he possibly break through to four-star Dou Ling in one day? To verify the authenticity of this matter, he had someone probe Tang Yan's strength. If he really reached four-star Dou Ling, the master of the Dongfang family couldn't let him continue to develop like this and must take control of Tang Yan first.
How many levels of Wu Zhe will be sent to test his strength? Dou Ling? The news says that during the Great Dou Shi, there were already strong Dou Wang who had defeated Dou Ling, so only a Dou Wang-level expert can be dispatched. Dong Fang Wan Er? Although his daughter reached two-star Dou Wang, the head of the Dong Fang family would not send his precious woman into the wolf's mouth, so he could only let the worldly Dong Fang family head take action. The worldly Dong Fang family head is also a two-star Dou Wang and is considered a collateral branch of the hidden world Dong Fang family.
The news quickly spread to the secular Dongfang family, making the master of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Lifu, feel extremely headache. As for Tang Yan, this thorn, who in the Purple Dragon Empire doesn't know that he has two Dou Huangs by his side? On the surface, they are protecting the princess, but in reality, they are also protecting Tang Yan.
If Dongfang Lixing doesn't take action, the secular Dongfang family will be kicked out. At that time, they won't get the protection of the hidden world's Dongfang and Shanggu families. Their industries will soon be swallowed up by other forces. Unless there is a top-notch expert in the family, relying solely on financial resources to hire strong people cannot protect their own business.
"Father, is there really no other way?" a young man of about twenty asked.
"What else can we do? Unless we break away from this family relationship!" Dongfang Lifeng suddenly said, as if he were several years older.
"But this is simply going to be a death sentence, Father. Why not do it this way instead? We'll break away from the Dongfang family's control. With our current wealth, we can live comfortably for several generations!" said Dongfang Lifu's son.
"This industry was left to us by our ancestors, generation after generation. How can I bear to destroy it in this dynasty? Alright, son, you go to the Purple Dragon Academy for further study. There are sons of various aristocratic families and officials there. If something happens to me, you can use the wealth left by our ancestors to establish your own power. Even if we don't get the protection of the Eastern aristocratic family, we can cooperate with other aristocratic families and officials. Our family business cannot be destroyed in our hands, you should know that, as a member of the Xuan Yuan family." East Force said to his only son, East Ask Heaven.
Dongfang Wentai, he was an only child. Despite being wealthy, he didn't have the arrogance of a young master or a second-generation rich kid. He was very sensible. Under the careful guidance and instruction of his family members, he possessed exceptional business acumen and had the strength of a great martial artist. In response to his father's persistence, Dongfang Wentai simply followed his words, knowing that this was not the time to provoke the master of the Hidden East Mansion, or else they would truly be destroyed like the mundane Xuan Yuan family.
"Alright, since Father has decided, I have nothing to say. I'll pack my things and head to the Violet Dragon Academy now. As for family matters, I'll leave them in your care, Elders. If anything happens, just send someone to inform me!" Dongfang Qitian said as he took over the letter of recommendation his father had prepared.
"Go! My child, this is the fate of our family, our ancestors will protect you!" Dongfang Lifu said.
He bid farewell to Dongfang Wentai and set off with his treasured sword, which he had not unsheathed in years, leaving his family behind as he hastened towards Fengqing City.
Tang Yan, after he woke up from his closed-door meditation, the first thing he did was to take a bath and eat. After finishing his meal, he was dragged out by Nangong Xiangxue to kill someone, which should be the promise he made to Nangong Xiangxue before. However, unexpectedly, when they arrived at the City Master's mansion, Qingfeng City Master had disappeared, and his wife and children were not in the mansion either. The servants didn't know anything about it, but that was okay, as the Nangong family's eyes and ears were everywhere. It was an easy task to find someone's whereabouts, and within half a day, Nangong Xiangxue had already grasped Qingfeng City Master's trail.
"Feng Qingcheng's master seems to know that we're going to deal with him, he took his whole family and escaped to a small town outside!" Nan Gong Xiangxue told Tang Yan.
"What's the point of staying here? Go find him and have a showdown!" Tang Yan said, wanting to try out his own strength.
"Hmm, but we won't make a move, you know what to do!" said Nangong Xiangxue.
"Alright, don't worry about it. Even if he's the King of Fighting, I have the confidence to kill him. Anyway, I've already become a strong enemy in many people's eyes, so killing a few more doesn't matter. As long as the military doesn't get involved, that's all that matters!" Tang Yan thought to himself, recalling how every time he killed a city lord, he would obtain a large sum of money.
"Let's go, we're going to Maple Bridge Town to find him!"
Maple Bridge Town is only half a day's walk from Maple Clear City, but Tang Yan ran over and arrived in Maple Bridge Town in just a short while. The town was very quiet, with a small river at the entrance of the town, and an ancient stone arch bridge on the river, hence the name Maple Bridge Town. However, Tang Yan and his group were not here to sightsee, but to kill people. Besides Nangong Xiangxue, there were also Zi Lan Xiao Shimei and Xuan Yuan Yue, who were also brought along because Tang Yan was worried about them staying in Maple Clear City.
Arriving at Maple Bridge Town, Nangong Xiangxue's eyes searched around for the marks left by Lin Yan, following the secret signals all the way to a large mansion on the outskirts of town.
"It's here!" Nangong Xiangxue said, staring at the tightly closed mansion gate.
"Alright, hand it over to me then. As for Zi Lan and the little sisters, I'll trouble you to take care of them!" Tang Yan said, pulling out Baoxue.
"No problem!" said Nangong Xiangxue.
Tang Yan's method was simple, and he wasn't there to make friends, so there was no need to put on a polite face. With a wave of his hand, the two large doors were split into four pieces, and half of the doorway collapsed. The servants inside were frightened and retreated into the house. However, a dozen or so martial artists rushed out, each with well-developed limbs and an aura of murder surrounding their bodies.
Facing these warriors, Tang Yan glanced at them and asked Nangong Xiangxue beside him: "Is the city master present?"
"No!" said Nangong Xiangxue.
Leading the way, how could they not know Tang Yan? It was because of Tang Yan's relationship that they received the guidance of the Eastern House Master and brought the City Master to hide here. Unexpectedly, the other party still killed their way in to find them, now it's too late to hide.
"How dare you barge into the city lord's private quarters." He tried to intimidate Tang Yan.
"I've come to kill the city master. If I don't enter his private quarters, how can I kill him? You tell me, isn't that right?" Tang Yan said with a smile.
"You think no one dares to punish you? If you kill the city lord, the Eastern family head won't let you off!" Another warrior shouted at Tang Yan.
"The master of the East is, Dongfang Yu is, don't worry, after a while, I will go and kill them!" Tang Yan didn't like being calculated. Then Tang Yan said to them again: "Make your move, let me see the strength of you great Dou Masters, and you this Dou Spirit!"
"Hum, kill this self-righteous guy!" One of the true powers in the back of the Dou Ling shouted out orders as soon as they heard Tang Yan's words.
"Good, good, you've come!" Tang Yan was eager to know just how powerful he was. Against these Grand Masters and a Dou Ling, Tang Yan didn't swing the Blowing Snow in his hand, but instead slapped out with his palm, sending a massive handprint hurtling towards them.
Purple Dragon Seal, Purple Dragon Asks the World!
Nangong Xiangxue finally saw Tang Yan's current strength, and unexpectedly, he had even mastered the Purple Dragon Qi of the Nangong family. On top of that, there was an additional layer of lightning on his palm print. Compared to her own Purple Dragon Seal, it was more than twice as powerful. With one slap, three great Dou Shi were sent flying dozens of feet away, knocking down two walls and finally crashing into another wall. Their clothes were completely charred, including their skin, which had reached the point of bursting open, like they had been electrocuted by high voltage. The three great Dou Shi died on the spot, and two more were severely injured by the shockwave, spitting out blood.
"It's all over!" Looking at his three companions, they didn't even have a chance to react before being knocked flying away. Now they were fighting desperately for their own lives and for a way out.
"Thunderclap Palm!" Tang Yan looked at them as they approached, his palms sank down, and a powerful thunderous energy appeared on the surface of his palms. The crackling lightning made people's hearts tremble with fear.
"Kill!"
"Clap...clap..." A warm welcome with applause.
Withdraw the Blizzard Giant Soldier, Tang Yan's speed was extremely fast, and with the old man's footwork, he killed with ease. Compared to these Grand Masters and a Dou Ling, it wasn't as intimidating as when Tang Yan fought against the Dou Huang. So, during these days, Tang Yan's sparring with the Dou Huang wasn't in vain. With actual combat experience and powerful martial skills, the enemies struck by Tang Yan not only had their Dou Qi broken but were also blasted by a powerful thunderbolt, causing their skin to split open and die after a few hits.
"The Purple Dragon Arrives!"
In an instant, several martial artists were slapped to death. Tang Yan's feet stomped the ground and he jumped up more than 20 meters high, head down, striking out the second seal of the Purple Dragon Five Seals: Purple Dragon Descends to Interrogate. Another massive handprint came crashing down from the sky, and the five Grand Masters who were locked in place were under the Purple Dragon Seal. The sword energy of these Grand Masters was like encountering a vast ocean, all their moves were swallowed up by a massive handprint. They were slapped into a pit over 10 meters deep in the ground. Their bodies were charred like corpses, with wisps of black smoke rising from them...
"What a terrible palm print! Mom, what to do?" The Five-Star Douling, who had been dodging Tang Yan's attacks all along, saw Tang Yan's strength and was deeply afraid from the bottom of his heart. Even if he fought with all his might, he was no match for him.
Next to him, Nangong Xiangxue watched as Tang Yan's palms opened wide and killed with a loud clap, but she didn't participate, only gazing at these so-called strong men and their martial arts. Under the Purple Dragon Seal, they were nothing. Even the weapons in their hands were shattered, more than ten guards died at Tang Yan's hands, leaving behind one Dou Ling strong man. He didn't try to escape; even if he could escape from Tang Yan, the Eastern World Family wouldn't let him off, so he simply didn't run.
"The castle owner you're looking for has escaped!" he said to Tang Yan and the others.
"I know, so you lead the way and bring him out. Otherwise, I'll use electric torture to serve you!" Tang Yan knew they were stalling for time earlier. Then Tang Yan said: "I want to see your strength, if you don't want to die, use your strongest power and fight me!"
