Zhao Hu's thoughts returned to half a year ago.。
Half a year ago, he was called by his half-brother Tang Ming back to the Tang family ancestral temple for a meeting.
When he arrived at the ancestral shrine, he saw ten people sitting in it.
Seeing this scene, he was very surprised in his heart.
This was because other than his father and Tang Ming, the remaining eight people were, without exception, the true higher-ups of the Tang family. Every one of them was an elder of the Tang family, and the weakest of them was at the late-stage of the True Qi Realm.
So many people came to the ancestral shrine. Could it be that something big had happened?
Not long after he sat down, he heard his father, the head of the Tang family, Tang Xiansheng, say something that shocked everyone.
" The power of martial arts in Tian Hai City has been divided into three for too long. It's time to unify them. After that, our Tang family can be considered a first-class force in the entire Huaxia. At that time, the resources that our Tang family controls will definitely increase by several times or even dozens of times.”
"Father, although the Tang family has been slightly better than the Li and Song families in recent years, the gap is not big. I'm afraid it's impossible to unify the martial arts of Tianhai City.”Zhao Hu's elder brother, the future head of the Tang family, Tang Ming, quickly stood up and said after recovering from his shock.
"Why not?" Tang Xiansheng looked at Tang Ming and said indifferently.
"The Li and Song families both have the combat strength of a Half-Zongshi. As long as they are alive, the Song and Li families will forever be the three biggest families in Tianhai City. Even if Father can defeat them one-on-one, he will never be able to defeat them when they join forces, let alone kill them.”Tang Ming looked at Tang Xiansheng and said in a deep voice.
"Three days ago, I broke through to the Half-Zongshi realm and reached the early-Zongshi realm.”Tang Xiansheng looked at Tang Ming and said.
"What?"
Hearing Tang Xiansheng's words, Tang Ming, Zhao Hu, and the other elders were all shocked. Then, they stood up excitedly.
"Father, is what you said true? Have you broken through to Half-Zongshi?" Tang Ming was the first to react. He looked at Tang Xiansheng excitedly and asked.
"Not bad." Tang Xiansheng nodded.
As soon as Tang Xiansheng said this, everyone in the ancestral shrine revealed excitement.
" That's great. Although Half-Zongshi and Grandmaster are both known as Grandmasters, the difference between the two is like heaven and earth. Even if the Song and Li families work together, they will only have two Half-Zongshi. They will definitely not be a match for the family head. The day of unifying Tianhai City's martial arts is just around the corner.”An elder said excitedly.
" As long as we unify Tianhai City's martial arts and have a Grandmaster like our family head, our Tang family will be recognized by the Martial Alliance and officially become a first-rate faction. At that time, the power our Tang family wields will be more than ten times greater than what it is now.”Another elder said excitedly.
…………
"Father, since you've broken through to the Zongshi realm, the Song and Li families 'Half-Zongshi are nothing to be afraid of. However, other than them, the Song and Li families also have quite a number of powerhouses. With just our Tang family's martial artists, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for us to deal with the combined forces of these two families.”
"I'm afraid that when the time comes, we'll only have the name of a first-rate force, but not the power of a first-rate force. That's because, with the exception of my father, our Tang family's strength doesn't even match that of a first-rate force. In fact, we might even be inferior to a second-rate force. At that time, there will definitely be other martial arts forces taking advantage of the situation and entering Tianhai City to seize resources.”Tang Ming was also very excited, but he still started to analyze.
"Sometimes, to unify Tianhai City, killing isn't the only thing that's needed. As long as those two old fellows Song Yuan and Li Lian submit, the Song Clan and Li Clan will be within our grasp.”Tang Xiansheng looked at Tang Ming.
"How will they submit?" Tang Ming asked.
"I'll be heading to Yun Hua Province to visit the Lin family in Yun Hua Province soon.”Tang Xiansheng said.
"The Lin family, a top-notch martial arts family?" Tang Ming said solemnly.
"That's right. Other than being a top-notch family in martial arts, the Lin family's attainments in alchemy can also be said to be top-notch. They are only slightly inferior to the Medicine God Mountain. Twenty years ago, I once helped a direct descendant of the Lin family. He owed me a favor. Twenty years later, that person had long become a grandmaster and held some power in the Lin family.”
"In the past, I didn't look for him because I was only a half-step grandmaster. Things have remained the same, but people have changed. Who would still remember the favor from decades ago? Even if I remembered, my strength was far inferior to his, and he would still brush it off. However, I'm already a grandmaster now. Even in the Lin family, there are definitely not many grandmasters. I'll use that favor to ask him to refine some pills. I believe he won't refuse.”Tang Xiansheng said.
"Refining pills?" Tang Ming's expression froze as if he had a guess.
"You're right. I'm going to refine a poison that even a half-Zongshi can't resist. After I defeat Song Yuan and Li Lian, I'll force them to consume that poison. After they consume that poison, their lives will be in my hands.”Tang Xiansheng looked at Tang Ming.
"Yes." Tang Ming nodded.
"Before we attack the two families, try your best to recruit martial artists during this period. After all, once our Tang family becomes a first-rate force, we will naturally need as many martial artists as possible.”Tang Xiansheng said.
"Understood. I will instruct my subordinates to recruit martial artists.”Tang Ming nodded.
………………
At this point, Zhao Hu came back to his senses.
"As long as you go to the Tang family, you won't be able to refuse. The Song family and the Li family don't have the ability, let alone you.”Zhao Hu thought of Lyu Yang and sneered in his heart.
