I Can See Your Combat Power

While pondering over the secret letter, a figure approached the Chief’s table. Tang Luo looked up to see it was Tang Zuo, the head of the Dark Thunder Hall.

Tang Zuo first nodded to Tang Luo as a greeting, then placed another secret letter on the table and said to the Chief, Tang Zhi, “The martial artists who pillaged and extorted supplies have been found, and the supplies have also been recouped. This is the list of the culprits and an inventory of their booty, please review it, Chief.”

Chief Tang Zhi opened the secret letter, quickly glanced at it and then closed it, “Thank you for your hard work. How do you plan to deal with these martial artists, Chief Tang Zuo?”

“There are many clans involved in this matter. Punishing them harshly may affect the situation of the new alliance, so I only expelled several minor clans that were involved in pillaging and killing, and issued warnings to the others.”

“That is quite fitting.” After glancing at Tang Zuo who was still standing and not moving, Tang Zhi asked, “Anything else?”

“There’s also the matter of the whereabouts of the Mi Clan’s army descendants.” Tang Zuo replied indifferently, “Commissioner Tang Feng asked me to tell you that they took a spirit boat upstream of Lingjiang, and then joined Longjiang. It seems they plan to travel by land to central Longzhou, and their likely destination is Kunwu County.”

Actually, there were only a few places in the whole of Longzhou that could be considered safe, and these were the cities under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Sect. These ancient forces that have been passed down from ancient times always like to have a peaceful zone to showcase their martial power, so Tang Zhi was not surprised at all about the Mi Clan army’s descendants moving to Kunwu County.

“If these people fled to the Outer Continent, it would be one thing, but staying within Longzhou is clearly declaring their intention to return. I think we should send people to kill them at this point and make them pay heavily before they reach Kunwu County.” Tang Zuo told Tang Zhi coldly, if you don’t kill a thief, they will come back to haunt you. Although the various clan descendants who left Xiling have no threat to the Tang Clan, which is rising like the sun, Tang Zuo, as one of the heads of the Tang Clan’s martial force, still follows a basic rule of action, the best enemy is a dead enemy.

After hearing Tang Zuo’s suggestion, Tang Zhi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, “Now is not the time to strike, let these people go.”

“Why?” Tang Zuo frowned unhappily, “Although the Mi Clan Alliance that escaped from Xiling is less than one-tenth of its original size, amongst them, there are top combatants from the Fierce Realm and promising youngsters. They won’t pose any threat to our clan in the short term, but what about forty or fifty years from now? When these children grow up, they will definitely become obstacles for our clan — bearing the hatred of their clan’s extermination.”

After all, how could the accomplishments of children who grow up under the teaching of the top martial ancestors of the Alliance, and who bear the hatred of their clan’s extermination, be low? If they don’t strangle these kids in the cradle, Tang Zuo always feels uncomfortable.

“In my opinion, you are being a coward, Tang Zuo.” Tang Luo teased after putting down his secret letter, “A group of rogue combatants from the Fierce Realm and a group of immature children make you feel like you’re facing a great enemy. If the Tang Clan could be threatened by this kind of dogs in a few decades, the clan would be better off dead already. We crushed their lands when the Mi Clan was at their peak, but now we can’t let go of these children?”

Tang Zuo glared at Tang Luo, asking coldly, “The Wind Media Department has only discovered the whereabouts of the Alliance’s spirit boat. Minister Luo, how did you know that the people who fled Xiling are a group of immature children?”

He didn’t mind Tang Luo’s mockery. Cowardly or brave, as a professional commander, all he knows is how to minimize future risks for the clan. Since this group of children could potentially become a threat to the clan, he would strangle them in the cradle. Therefore, he did not care about Tang Luo’s assessment. However, he was enraged by the important information he inferred from his words. Tang Luo, who had not participated in the Battle of South Ridge, was not only not surprised that the Mi Clan had created a spirit boat but also knew about the members on the boat. This made him very angry.

“Alright, let’s stop arguing.” Chief Tang Zhi shook his head, interrupting the increasingly fiery exchange between the two.

The reason why I disagreed to attack the descendants of the Mi Clan now is because we have more important things to do next, and we can’t divide our forces.” Tang Zhi stood up, pointing at the map behind him, “Within three days, I want to gather an army to overthrow the alliance of the three clans in Lanshan City. Although the number of descendants of the Mi Clan Alliance who fled from Xiling is not large, the ones protecting them are all top combatants from the Mi Clan Alliance, not to mention the presence of Great Mi Yang. If we attack, it will definitely involve a lot of our top combat forces, and the benefit would only be killing some children who might pose a threat to the clan in several decades. It’s not worth it.”

The so-called good steel should be used on the blade’s edge; to complete the unification of Lingjiang before the summer harvest is the top priority for Tang Zhi. Compared to this goal, these descendants who escaped are not worth mentioning.

Therefore, whether these descendants managed to escape on their own or were set free by Tang Luo, it doesn’t matter.

As long as the Tang Clan continues to grow stronger, to the point of despair for others, no fool would put revenge first. Living people are always more important than the dead. The world will dilute all memories, including hatred.

Having heard Tang Zhi’s final decision, even though Tang Zuo was begrudgingly, he had to give up. After glaring at Tang Luo, the head of the Dark Thunder Hall left indignantly.

As he watched his younger brother leave angrily, Tang Zhi shook his head helplessly, then turned to Tang Luo and said, “Minister Luo, the supplies that were extorted from Red Cloud Mountain have been recouped and are now stored on the shores of South Ridge. You can collect them at any time. Also, I have a question to ask Minister Luo.” ＲαƝоβÊＳ

“Please ask, Chief.”

“What do you think would be a good name for the new alliance, Minister Luo?”

“Ah?” Tang Luo was taken aback as he saw the dozens of names passed over by Tang Zhi.

He had always assumed that the new alliance was simply called the ‘New Alliance’. Who knew that it hadn’t actually been named yet? Such a nameless and constitutionless alliance had gathered more than 300 Fierce Realm members. It seemed a bit hasty.

New Longxi Alliance, Disaster Aid Association, Cloud Dispatch Alliance…

Dozens of all sorts of names made Tang Luo’s eyelids twitch. It was obvious that each clan in the alliance had proposed a name and then let the alliance leader choose. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why so many names embed their own clan’s name into the alliance name.

“I think the above options are all pretty good.” Tang Luo shrugged, pushed the name roster back to Tang Zhi and said, “The name of the alliance is a very important matter. It’s better for the Chief to decide.”

“Oh, I see.” Tang Zhi took over the name roster, “Then let’s decide on ‘New Longxi Alliance’. What do you think of that name?”

“The New Longxi Alliance?” Tang Luo tasted the name, “Not bad.”

It’s certainly better than the ‘Disaster Aid Association’. Tang Luo secretly criticized in his heart. If the Chief had really chosen the name ‘Disaster Aid Association’, he felt that the Tang clan would move further and further down the path of being a villain clan. Although the Tang clan didn’t look like a proper clan at the moment.
