Chapter 426: Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-Two: Sincerity
Translator: 549690339
The next day, several Clan Heads, suppressing the night of debauchery, went to the city hall to atone for their sins. The Steward not only did not blame them, but also told them that it was a good idea to wander around the prosperous ’ Xiling, even recommending some famous pleasure districts. They said the Clan Heads could visit there to relax when free. Now that all matters of the new city were finished, it was time to return to life.
The several Clan Heads looked at each other, almost not daring to believe what they had heard. They knew that every city’s control over the Fierce Realm was very strict. Even those who voluntarily settled in, especially new immigrants, it would take a long time to integrate into the city.
However, with the relaxed attitude of the Tang Clan, it seemed that they didn’t care about the Fierce Realm members of Chengzhou staying or leaving at all Of course, they wouldn’t naively think that this was a negligence on the part of the Tang Clan, the only explanation was that it demonstrated the sincerity shown towards them.
From the moment they boarded the Wancheng Treasure Ship, the process of becoming a vassal had become a reality, but the process of clan subjugation is often accompanied by a lot of pain.
For instance, the practice of intermarriage within the clan, or good members from within the clan being recruited. These methods are extremely commonplace among clans, but none of them were experienced when they arrived in Xiling.
In a trance, the Clan Heads suddenly had a feeling that staying in Xiling like this might not be so bad after all.
TVio years passed peacefully. Tang Zhi appeared again, summoning all the Clan Heads of the Fierce Realm in the new city to the council hall. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
The Mi Clan’s intelligence was actually inaccurate about the number of the Fierce Realm in the new northern city. These destitute clans brought back by the Tang Clan after a series of screening procedures, each clan had at least one Fierce Realm member. The most powerful eight great clans even had two to three Fierce Realm members.
Almost thirty Fierce Realm warriors were hidden in a small northern New City, and now, they were all gathered in the city hall.
The strongest Clan Heads felt clear in their hearts. The Tang Clan’s expression of sincerity was complete, and now it was their turn to express their sincerity. Although they were already prepared mentally, Tang Zhi’s first sentence still shocked all the warriors!
“Longjiang is redirecting to Lingjiang, and the mighty flood is coming from the southeast to the northwest. In at most five days, the flood will spread to Xiling. Its scale is five times larger than the flood disaster in Chengzhou!” Tang Zhi, the clan head of the Tang Clan, sat at the helm, speaking indifferently to the ’ more than thirty Fierce Realm warriors below.
Only those who have truly experienced the torrential flood can understand the illusion of the strength to which they arrogantly cling. Even though the Fierce Realm can defy gravity, they can only secure their own lives. But how many elderly and young people are there in the clan? Even if one uses teeming Spiritual Power to rescue back and forth, how many people can be saved?
As long as you are caught in ten thousand tons of flood waters carrying mud and stones, even the fiercest warriors will face the risk of death, not to mention others. Therefore, even though all the people in their seats are strong warriors of the Fierce Realm, their faces turned pale and their hearts became extremely flustered.
If you talk about the strongest clan in the northern New City, it would be the Lei Clan and He Clan. The two clans, each with three Fierce Realm strongmen would be considered medium-sized in Chengzhou. However, when the natural disaster came and the cards were reshuffled, there were winners and losers. Having lost dozens of Transformed squads and with two Fierce Realm members seriously injured, the two clans had no choice but to board the Wancheng Treasure Ship.?????????????? 5
After recovery, the Lei Clan was one of the two most powerful forces in the New City. Lei Clan, having three Fierce Realm strong ones, had the power to easily destroy other clans, so many small clans in the New City followed the lead of Lei Clan.
At such a critical moment, the leaders of most small clans focused on the face of the head of the Lei Clan – Lei Ze.
For a Fierce Realm warrior, sixty years old is the prime of life, not to mention the continuous fighting in Chengzhou for years has given this head of the Lei Clan a fierce aura that ordinary warriors don’t have. With dark skin and square features, he looks extremely frightening.
He was also one of the few Clan Heads whose face did not change when Tang
Zhi talked about the flood coming.
Not because he had the confidence to resist the flood, but because he believed that since the Tang Clan Chief would openly tell them, there must be a solution. If not, concealing it from them would be the best choice for a stable situation. Although the New City has strong military power, its intelligence system is like a blind man with both eyes blinded. As long as Tang Zhi didn’t speak, they might be waiting cheerfully for the flood to come.
“The sincerity of the Tang Clan has been seen by all parties in Chengzhou. Now that we are on the TangClan’s boat, we are the people of the TangClan. Please instruct us to make arrangements, Clan Chief Tang.” Lei Ze said seriously to Tang Zhi, the Clan Chief at the helm. But his words caused an uproar in the council hall.
Two years of healing are enough to make you forget many things, even people could forget the identity they used to come to Xiling two years ago. The powerful clans who have regained their strength were also itching to start. If their intelligence system had not yet been built, they would even start to touch the surrounding cities.
But suddenly hearing Lei Ze’s act of directly swearing allegiance to Tang Clan on behalf of all parties in Chengzhou, it was too hard for them to accept in one go. This kind of submission without any foreplay was too abrupt, which undoubtedly provoked another large powerhouse in the New City the He
Clan!
He Clan, which also has three Fierce Realm warriors, has always considered themselves cooperating with Tang Clan. This view is recognized by many clans in the New City, after all, each clan still seeks independence. Although Tang Clan had grace towards all clans, such ‘grace’ would be forgotten over time, and not everyone has the virtue of gratitude.
Coldly, He Clan’s He Xiong said, “If Lei Clan Head wants to be a dog, don’t drag other clans with you. The flood disaster that is five times bigger than the one in Chengzhou will soon arrive in Xiling. Even if Clan Chief Tang has heavenly powers, it is unknown whether he can resist it. My He Clan can hardly entrust our life and death to such rash trust!”
The audience was in an uproar. This remark undoubtedly did not recognize the leadership status of Tang Clan amongst all parties in Chengzhou, which also meant that He Clan wanted to take advantage of this disaster to regain independence!
Originally certain to follow He Clan, many small clans suddenly hesitated. They saw the power of Tang Clan. Just a welcoming party consisted of eight Fierce Realm squads, and each Fierce Realm had an astonishing aura. They did not think that directly opposing was a smart choice. They wanted to see how Tang Clan Chief, who still appeared calm, would respond and then make a decision.
Who knew the opponent was just looking at He Xiong with interest, as if he wanted all his words to be said at once.
Tang Zhi is by no means a Fierce Realm warrior. Although the old man behind him looks unfathomable, how can He Xiong look down upon him being just one person. Therefore, He Clan’s He Xiong continued, “Husbands and wives are like birds and beasts, each flies away in time of trouble. The Tang Clan is deeply rooted and leaves much to be desired when the flood comes. How can our Chengzhou factions add trouble to Tang Clan? 150 miles north of the New City is a small town called Qingyang. He Clan will attack this city as a clan territory and to avoid the flood. I don’t know how many clans present who would like to go with my clan?”
Not only did they want to become independent, but they wanted to take away a large number of vibrant forces from the New City. He Xiong’s appetite turned out to be larger than anyone imagined. But autonomy is what every clan fundamentally pursues. Immediately, the heads of six small clans responded to He Xiong’s call to arms, ready to jointly attack Qingyang City to set up a new base.
As for Xiling and the new northern city, which were soon to be flooded, they would leave it to Lei Clan who wanted to become the vassal of Tang Clan!
