Tang Zuo, with a perfectly symmetrical face, was clad in a cyan-purple python robe, with a white-patterned rhino-hide belt around his waist. His raven black hair casually scattered over his back giving off an air of casual elegance. Amidst the applause, he emerged from the curtain, bowed to Tang Zhi, positioned himself in the middle of the stage and revelled in the crowd’s cheers.

He silently waited for the applause to slowly fade away before speaking again, and the first sentence spoke sent shockwaves through the hall.

“I am Tang Zuo, and I have returned.”

He said this looking straight at Tang Sen.

From the elevated platform, Tang Zuo locked eyes with Tang Sen standing below. The audience could almost feel the sparks flying between their staring contest.

Fortunately, Tang Zuo’s intention was not to engage in a staring contest with

Tang Sen, but to make a significant announcement.

-The Elder Council has already approved my proposal to establish a new hall.

Therefore, the first order of business is to institute a levy.”

-Alas.” The hall erupted into chaos. The so-called levy was a clan custom requiring each family to contribute Mortal Realm warriors for the use of the Martial Hall during wartime.

Not every branch family was as wealthy as Tang Sen’s. Sometimes a branch might only contain two to three clansmen who were warriors. The new rule meant that one of them would have to be levied, a sacrifice akin to physical pain.

Everyone knew that Tang Zuo was full of antagonistic intentions. They just didn’t expect his first move upon returning would be to institute a levy. This disastrous turn of events left the once jubilant hall filled with grim faces. The expression on their faces was as if they had swallowed a rotten orange.

Having received the Elder Council’s approval, these family heads couldn’t find excuses to refuse. However, their applause was clearly lacking enthusiasm as everyone was contemplating which warrior should make the sacrifice. Please visit fr𝐞𝐞wn.𝒸o𝔪 website to read fastest update

Tang Zuo observed the clansmen in front of him, hands folded behind his back before opening his mouth again, “This levy only requires five hundred Mortal

Realm warriors under thirty.”

The faces of clansmen below changed again. They silently cursed Tang Zuo’s audacity. It was indeed saving face for many clans to levy just five hundred individuals from thousands of branches. Although it was a relief for those not selected, the ones chosen now faced a situation akin to physical pain.

After all, instruments are external possessions and bloodline talents can only be envied, so secret techniques that everyone can practice are the most attractive.

And for a clan, a powerful secret technique can even give birth to a powerful tactic or style.

For instance, the Xianyu Tianyu of the Mi Family, traced back to its origin, was nothing more than a secret technique for training celestial birds.

Centered on this technique, the Mi Clan began to focus on training archers who could ride celestial birds like the wind. Even though each archer might not have a high realm, when they gathered as a group, they formed an unstoppable power.

All of this was attributed to a single secret technique. With this technique, the Mi Clan was able to stand toe-to-toe with the Tang Clan, remaining strong even in the era when the Tang Clan was at its zenith.

The only constraint on the growth of the Mi Clan was the difficulty in raising celestial birds and their slow maturity. Whereas martial artists could come of age in thirty years, celestial birds required sixty or seventy years before they could be ridden. Hence, after hundreds of years, the number of members in the Xianyu Tianyu of the Mi Clan was still less than two thousand.

Now, Tang Zuo was able to bring back a secret technique. Even if it was a relatively rudimentary one, it could cause a significant leap in the strength of the entire Tang Clan.

No matter the rift between him and Tang Sen, Tang Zuo more than deserved the position of the head of a branch with this substantial contribution. However, such a treasure as a secret technique is often a clan’s most important secret. How did Tang Zuo acquire it? It was unfathomable.

Longzhou Calendar, 1779, the second day of the first month.

Tang Sen’s family who had spent two days at the clan’s headquarters returned to their mansion, all the while listening to Xu Shuhui’s heated complaints.

Tang Sen, a man of few words, listened quietly, while Tang Luo could only respond with a wry smile.

All people hustle for their benefits.

With Tang ZUO’S generous offer and only five hundred slots available, which branch would not want a piece of the pie? Tang Zuo had just returned and sat with the clan leader, it was no wonder that people flocked to him with continuous toasts and flattery for days on end.

It was no surprise that Xu Shuhui was upset when comparing the number of people offering them toasts and the scale of the queues lining up for Tang Zuo. What upset her the most, however, was when Tang Zuo personally appeared and offered a toast to Tang Sen’s family.

After finishing his pleasantries, Tang Zuo looked at the two brothers and said, “The two nephews are very talented. I wonder if the Sect Head is willing to part with them?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shuhui, who had been smiling, immediately turned icy cold.

She now despised Tang Zuo even more because he dared to set his sights on her two precious sons.

But what infuriated her most was not this, but the fact that Tang Sen had calmly nodded and said, “It’s up to them.”

That blockhead actually did not oppose it. The rage in Xu Shuhui’s heart almost exploded. She really wanted to knock open Tang Sen’s head and see whether it was filled with mashed potatoes or rocks..
