Chapter 118: Closing the Net
Huansha Village is a small fishing village not far from Donghua City, next to Huansha Lake, the largest lake in East Lake.
Early in the morning, two uninvited guests came to the village, one of whom looked to be about fifty years old, dressed in a gray plain robe, and the other was a young man in his Chinese New Year's Eve, with a burly body and short hair and thick eyebrows.
"This is where your mother lived since childhood, your parents brought you here when you were a child, but you were still in infancy at that time, so naturally you can't remember!"
It was Tang Dian and Tang Long who entered the village.
"Why doesn't it look like there's anyone living there?"
The bluestone road is silent and empty, the doors of the houses on both sides are closed, and the screen windows are covered with cobwebs, apparently vacant for many years.
"They've all moved away!" Tang Dian sighed and said, "Twenty years ago, when the news of your mother's murder of her husband came back, the people in the village were afraid of being implicated and retaliated against by the Tang family, so they moved clean in just a few days. β
Murder of her husband...... These four words no longer torture Tang Long all the time, he must get justice for his mother!
"It's here, it's hereβ"
The two stopped in front of a small inconspicuous courtyard, and pushed open the door and a cold wind greeted them.
After entering the door, they each chose a direction as if they were searching for something, and after a while, they met in the courtyard again, and Tang Dian had an extra yellowed sheepskin in his hand.
"It should be this, you quickly write down the diagram and destroy it, so that you are the only one who knows this diagram, and we can negotiate conditions with Tang Qian!"
"If you want to talk about what conditions, you might as well talk about it here!"
The indifferent voice suddenly sounded, and a figure stepped in from outside the courtyard, it was Tang Qian.
"I've searched this place many times and didn't find it, but I didn't expect it to be found by you, it seems that you really found a clue in the dungeon!"
"You've been following us?" Tang Dian's face was ugly and asked.
"You think I can't detect your dissent?" Tang Qian smiled coldly, "I have treated you well all these years, and you dare to betray me!" β
"Treat me thinly? Spared my life, this is what you call not thin? Secretly poisoned me to cut off my children and grandchildren, how did you have the face to say this! β
"What did you say?" Tang Qian narrowed his eyes.
"Thanks to your good son, who actually wanted to harm Xiaolong in the same way, I knew why I have been childless for so many years, second brother, you are so ruthless!"
"Hahahaha-ruthless? If I hadn't been ruthless, how could I have the status I have today! β
"Big brother and third brother, you really killed it!"
"It's me!" Determined to leave the two of them here today, Tang Qian's true nature, which had been hidden for many years, was completely exposed, and he said with a hideous face: "My talent is not worse than theirs, and my mind is smarter than theirs, just because my father doesn't like it, I can't get what they have at their fingertips!" Even the beloved woman was snatched away, shouldn't she be killed! I'm not afraid to tell you that even that old thing was killed by me! β
Brute! No wonder my father went mad when he practiced for no reason, it turned out that he was also harmed by this evil obstacle!
Tang Qian ignored the anger of the two, a wicked smile suddenly appeared on his face, stared at Tang Long who clenched his fists, and said slowly: "Do you know that the first person your mother met was me!" When I was swimming in the lake, I accidentally saw your mother, and I was shocked, and then I saw it again in Donghua City, which is simply fate! But the result? She ended up marrying Tang Ao! β
Hearing this, Tang Dian sneered, and reprimanded with disdain: "I keep saying that I love her, but I tortured her for a whole twenty years for a map!" β
"She betrayed me first!" Tang Qian's eyes were blood-red, like a madman, "I can't get her heart, at least I can get her person, every night in the dead of night for the past twenty years, she has been under me tactfully, that kind of taste...... Even more exciting! β
"Bastard, Lao Tzu hacked you!"
Tang Long's eyes were blood-red, and he raised the big knife in his hand to pounce on Tang Qian, and was kicked away by the latter just before he got close, and the sheepskin roll that he put on his chest was also snatched away.
Tang Qian's expression was so excited that he spread out his sheepskin, and after looking down, his face gradually froze. There is no so-called map on it at all, only six big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing - self-inflicted, not alive!
When Tang Qian realized that something was wrong, one after another figures jumped in from outside the courtyard.
Ning Zhiyuan, Lu Ding, Chu Ming, and the heads of various families......
"Impossible...... How is this possible...... I obviously asked Tang Qi to lead people to guard the place where they must pass, how can you be silent-" Tang Qian, who was pale, stopped as he spoke, and a ray of light burst out of his eyes, "Tang Qi!" This miscellaneous crumb, even he betrayed the old man! β
From the meeting between the fourth child and Tang Long, to sneaking here, all the news was told by Tang Qi, and now that he has fallen into a trap, he naturally has nothing to do with it!
"Killing one's father and killing one's brother and sister-in-law is unbearable!"
Ning Zhiyuan glanced at Tang Qian coldly, flicked his robe, and a battle aura hit his dantian directly.
Tang Qian snorted and retreated again and again, not noticing that the pain was confused, and then his face changed suddenly.
"Soul Refining Realm, half an hour, this is the limit of what I can do!"
Ning Zhiyuan's voice fell, and Tang Long, who had been impatient for a long time, pounced again with red eyes.
The realm has been suppressed at the initial stage of soul refining!
Tang Qian was horrified!
Although the other party was suppressed and cultivated, Tang Long was obviously still not an opponent, and Chu Ming flew in time to sweep the formation and join the battle group.
"Chu Ming, this is my Tang family's housework, why are you meddling!"
This post-graduate talent who is now famous in East Lake makes Tang Qian extremely jealous.
"You sent Tang Qi to attack Brother Lu and designed him to slaughter the mercenary group, is this reason enough for me to make a move?"
Chu Ming sneered, in public or private or righteous, he couldn't stand by and watch!
Tang Qian was speechless for a moment, Tang Qi had already betrayed, this matter must be impossible to hide, in other words, even if he could get rid of the entanglement of these two, Lu Ding on the side would never let him leave alive!
Give it a go!
Tang Qian, who was in a desperate situation, had made up his mind, and now he had to find a way to hold Chu Ming, the uncle of the Lu family, hostage, a chance to live!
Finding that the other party was so anxious that he tried to get closer, Chu Ming was keenly aware of his thoughts, and he didn't give a chance at all.
Tang Long is only a mid-level caster, two big realms different from Tang Qian, but Chu Ming has a mid-level realm of Ning Dan, and he has extremely rich combat experience, and he took the initiative to bear most of the pressure on the front, so that Tang Qian had to deal with it carefully, so that Tang Long, who was attacking from the side, could also pose a threat!
"Falling Rain Sword Technique!"
"A thunderbolt!"
"Two-style horror!"
Chu Ming's attacks continued like a mountain roaring tsunami, and the power of the ground-level combat technique made Tang Qian scramble, and he was so suppressed that he couldn't do it!
It was not so easy to fight across a large realm, plus with so many people present, the opponent's original cultivation was too much higher than his own, Chu Ming did not dare to launch a soul attack, and the stalemate battle lacked a decisive blow.
