The 74th Wife

  Last time, the Extinction Sect's ancestral hall, all the ancestors of various families came out. This time, it wasn't to destroy the sect, but rather Dongfang Zheng was telling the ancestors in the stone chamber about Tang Yan's deeds. Of course, he added some embellishments, dragging Nangong Xiangxue into the conversation as well, saying that Princess Xiangxue was originally supposed to be the future wife of his grandson, Dongfang Yu. But then this kid Tang Yan came along and messed everything up, even severely injuring Dongfang Yu. Apart from mentioning this point, Dongfang Zheng also said that Nangong Wang used Tang Yan's power to eliminate the city masters he had arranged in various cities, weakening the strength of the Dongfang family.

  There is no catalyst more powerful than eloquence, especially for an old man who has been living in the mountains, unaware of worldly affairs and only focused on his cultivation. If someone were to threaten the interests of his family, even to the point of life and death, it's hard not to believe he wouldn't come out of the mountains to kill. When Dong Fangzheng spoke to him, he didn't ask any questions, merely responding with a single sentence: "I know," before letting Dong Fangzheng hand over the land deed to him, though only after he left this place. Dong Fangzheng said that Tang Yan had two Dou Huang protecting him.

  In the Eastern Hidden World, aside from an old ancestor of the Dou Zong level, there was another one who came from the Ancient Eastern Family Clan. On the surface, it was said that he was guiding their martial skills, but on another aspect, he was also supervising their movements.

  The hidden world family is doing it, the secular family is also doing it. Dongfang Lifu knew that Tang Yan had risen four star ranks in one day, and he was both surprised and delighted. He came to Tang Yan's door, lingering and waiting, as if he had something to say to Tang Yan, but was finally called into the room by Nangong Boya to wait.

  "The princess is polite, Miss Xuan Yuan is good!" Dongfang Lifu entered the room and nodded to the two girls, saying hello. As for Zi Lan, he just smiled and nodded, indicating a greeting.

  "Dongfang Lifa, aren't you and Dongfang Zheng on the same side? What do you want from us?" Nan Gong Xiangxue didn't give him any face.

  "I've come to find your boyfriend about something!" Dongfang Lifu said, pointing at Tang Yan who was sitting on the bed.

  "Who's his girlfriend, what nonsense are you talking about?" Nan Gong Xiang Xue's face couldn't help but flush with a hint of redness, she didn't know why, if it was Tang Yan saying that he was her man, she wouldn't have any issues, but when an outsider said that she was Tang Yan's woman, she became extremely agitated and scolded.

  "Sorry, I was talking nonsense, it's my mistake, I was just babbling!" Dongfang Lixing knew this little witch all too well and immediately admitted his error, flattering her with a smile.

  "Tell me, what are you looking for this scoundrel? Could it be that you're representing Dongfang Zheng to win him over?" asked Nangong Xiangxue.

  "Oh, it's like that!"

  Next, Dongfang Liefeng told them the purpose of his visit, including what Dongfang Zheng had previously entrusted to him. The words reached the ears of Zilan Xiaoshi and Xuan Yuan Yue by her side, who couldn't help but feel a little tense. Who knew if he would make a move at this time? As he continued speaking, Zilan Xiaoshi finally understood that it was just like those other sects, coming to fawn on him.

  "You're doing this, aren't you afraid that the Dongfang will annihilate your family?" asked Nangong Xiangxue.

  "I'm afraid, that's why I came to find him. I want to hand over the worldly affairs of the Dongfang family to him. To put it bluntly, he is the business partner of the Dongfang family, and every year, two-thirds of the income belongs to him!" said Dongfang Lifu.

  "I understand what you mean now. You want him to help you deal with Dongfang Zheng, and use him as a shield, right?" Xuan Yuan Yue asked.

  "It can't be said like that, it's cooperation, it's cooperation. Moreover, I'm just talking about this matter, and I don't know if this young master will agree or not?" Dongfang Lifu thought, and decided to put pressure on the family property, rather than letting Dongfang Zhenghua lose face.

  At this time, Tang Yan, who was sitting on the bed, spoke up and said: "Your Dongfang family's worldly possessions, how much income do you have in a year? How much can I get? Cooperating, is there some sincerity?"

  No one knows how long Tang Yan has been awake, only that he just heard the conversation between them and Dongfang Lixing, now hearing him say this, it seems like he wants to participate in the Dongfang Su Shi family's industry. Hehe, Tang Yan wouldn't want to if he was stupid, who doesn't want money? Anyway, he is already an enemy of Dongfang Zheng, taking things from the Dongfang Su Shi family is a battle, not taking them is also being an enemy of Dongfang Zheng, why not take them then?

  "Our Dongfang family is the largest economic power among all the families, with an annual income that accounts for half of the empire's. Don't believe me? You can ask Princess Nan Gong Xiangxue and Miss Xuan Yuan Yue! That's why many people are eyeing me, including those in my own family. They'd rather see me dead so they can take control of our family business!" Dongfang Lixing said with a bitter tone.

  "So wealthy, why don't you invite a few more masters to sit in?" Tang Yan couldn't understand why his family was so rich but didn't invite more people to sit in.

  Xuan Yuan Yue, who was beside him, couldn't help but refute Tang Yan's words and said: "You think that just because you have money, you can hire a master? If masters were really that easy to hire, our family wouldn't have been exterminated!"

  "Those above the Great Dou Shi level all have their own sects and families, and those who are invited to sit in are from hidden worlds and ancient family clans. Even if you invite a Great Dou Shi, it's useless, as they can easily pick one out from among the hidden world families. The same goes for the sects." Dongfang Lixing said to Tang Yan.

  After chatting for a while, Tang Yan didn't ask much either. In terms of sincerity, Dongfang Lishi handed over 5 million gold coins to Tang Yan in person. Even if they couldn't cooperate successfully, he asked him to take good care of his only son, Dongfang Qitian, if he had the chance. Because he knew that Tang Yan and his group were preparing to head to the Purple Dragon Imperial Academy, who knows, maybe they would encounter his son there. Of course, currently in the Purple Dragon Academy, there was also a cold and terrifying Mu Rongqian waiting for him.

  Five million gold coins, the magic crystal card is in hand, Tang Yan's property has also risen to 120 million, making Zi Lan Xiao feel a thrill of excitement, she doesn't know why, only knowing that the more money Tang Yan has, the happier she becomes. Perhaps she thinks that if Tang Yan becomes rich and powerful, rebuilding the Fist Gate will make it the first sect of the Purple Dragon Empire.

  "If you go back like this, Dongfang will suspect that you are disloyal and might even take preemptive action against you?" Tang Yan knew the purpose of his visit.

  "So I want to have a fight with you, so they won't suspect me. As long as I get injured and go back, I can deceive their suspicion!" Dongfang Lifu said to him.

  "Alright, let's settle this here and now. But it won't be you hitting me, it'll be the other way around. Don't worry, I won't kill you. Come on, stand by the window, and let me give you a slap that will send you flying!" Tang Yan said to Dongfang Lixing.

  "You little scamp, you look like you're going to kill someone and silence them!" Nangong Xiangxue said as she saw Tang Yan's Dou Qi bursting out.

  "Can I not be nervous? The opponent is the King of Fighting, who knows if he has learned the ultimate technique of Dongfang Yu that can absorb the opponent's fighting energy?" Tang Yan thought to himself.

  "Alright, I'll hit myself, you don't need to lift a hand!" Dongfang Lixing said, feeling that Tang Yan's strength was truly not ordinary.

  "This won't do, I said it would be alright, I'll be gentle. Come on, stand still, and I'll send you flying!" Tang Yan said.

  "I..."

  This time, Tang Yan didn't let him say anything. With a slap of his palm on his body, a thunderbolt exploded on him, sending him flying out. Like a bullet, he crashed through the window and fell into a village over 100 meters away, spitting blood, clutching at his chest where his clothes were blown open, his face as pale as paper. He muttered some curses before hastily leaving Fengqing City.

  "He should be able to go back and hand it over now!" Tang Yan said with a pat on his palm.

  "Now you can go back to the empire with me, right?" asked Nangong Xiangxue.

  "Hmm, that's it. I originally planned to reach the rank of Dou Wang, but for now, it's impossible to upgrade in a short period of time. Ah, didn't we plan on not killing this Qing Cheng City Lord?" Tang Ye asked.

  "I don't know where he's hiding now, can't find him, don't worry, isn't it just the Dou Wang? After returning to the palace, I'll ask my father to grant you a few Progression Pills to eat, so you can break through to Dou Wang soon. Also, my father said that if you don't want to be bothered by Dongfang Zheng, you can become an official, and Dongfang Zheng won't dare to do anything to you!" Nangong Xiangxue said.

  "Surrender? But I've killed one city lord and crippled another. If I become an official, it will make things even harder for your father the king. Don't worry, after all, isn't it just the Eastern Lord? With my current strength, I can take him down with a 70% chance of success!" Tang Yan said to this petite, slender, and charming little princess.

  "I'm afraid he'll send someone to capture you and take you to the Eastern Mountain Peak!" Nan Gong Bo Ya heard Tang Yan's words. In his heart, he thought: "This child will be extremely formidable in the future, if it's really as he said, now that he has also learned the Purple Dragon Five Seals, we may not necessarily be his match."

  Yes, they are now very worried about Tang Yan's growing power. It's a good thing that he is getting stronger, but if this demon head can't be controlled, the Purple Dragon Empire might be destroyed by him. However, so far, at least he has been getting along well with Princess Nan Gong Xiang Xue, even though she always bullies him and he never fights back. This makes them think of a saying: Heroes are hard to pass through the beauty pass, and with Nan Gong Xiang Xue's beauty, any man would drool all over the place. Just like Miss Xuan Yuan Yue, her pair of giant peaks on her chest make any man want to squeeze and suck on them.

  At this point, Tang Yan had previously taken advantage of the opportunity to grab her a few times when they were escaping together. In the mountain cave, he pretended to accidentally press his arm on her pair of bulging peaks. It's just that recently, Tang Yan has been practicing martial arts in seclusion and hasn't had the chance to attack her yet.

  After getting rid of Dongfang Lixing, Tang Yan carried Chui Xue and made large-scale purchases with three beauties in the city pool of Fengqing City until the next morning. When the people of Fengqing City knew that Tang Yan was going to leave, they rushed to the city gate and blocked Tang Yan from leaving.

  "Great grandfather, great hero, please kill the city master before you leave, please, we'll all kowtow to you!" A citizen knelt on the ground, and those behind him also followed suit, begging Tang Yan to kill the city master.

  "Everyone get up! It's not that I don't want to help you kill the city master, but rather I don't know where he has run off to!" Tang Yan said as he looked at these people kneeling in front of the horse carriage.

  "Great hero, I know where he is!" a woman who looked like a servant girl said.

  "Where is he?" Tang Yan didn't want to owe anyone a favor, since he had agreed to Nan Gong Wang's request, he must see it through. Now that he had the City Master's whereabouts, Tang Yan planned to take him down first before leaving.

  "In the castle!" The maid said.

  "Damn it, this pig is really clever, hiding in the city lord's mansion. Come on, all of you go and surround the city lord's mansion, this time we can't let him escape! I'll go kill him right now." Tang Yan cursed and said.
