Chapter 388: Tang Family Crisis
Zhongzhou, known as the center of the entire continent.
Here, all sects and factions are blooming, and the cultivation of the true world is nothing more than that.
It's just that although there are many sects here, and new sects and families are born almost every year, there are only a few who are really powerful.
These families or sects have always maintained a relative balance and containment with each other, and it is this balance that has kept the entire Zhongzhou relatively stable.
But this time, with the appearance of the Tang family's elder Taishang, the strength of the various forces in Zhongzhou has also changed, and the balance has also been broken.
If the balance is broken, the interests of the original forces will be threatened, and even if the Tang family promises not to be interested in those interests, I am afraid that no one will believe them.
After all, no matter which family it is, if it wants to grow and pass it on, it needs a strong foundation and endless resources.
The resources of his own family's development were threatened, which naturally caused hostility, and the appearance of the Tang family's Taishang Elder was the reason for the hostility of other families or sects.
"Which force is hostile to us?"
Hearing Tang Yibing's answer, Ling Fan subconsciously asked.
"A lot. ”
Tang Yibing replied solemnly: "Almost all the sects around us have become hostile to us, and many of them think that the appearance of our Supreme Elder is a deliberately designed bureau, the purpose of which is to provide an opportunity for the rise of the Tang family. ”
"These families are really sick, can't they see that in that situation, if Grandpa didn't invite Elder Taishang, he would have died at that time?"
Hearing Tang Yibing's words, Tang Yiyao immediately muttered indignantly, but Ling Fan beside him didn't have any anger, just shook his head helplessly.
Ling Fan could understand such conjectures about those forces.
After all, the Tang family has a person with such strength as the Supreme Elder, but he has always stuck to the Tang family city, like a monk who lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and never expands his power, which is too incomprehensible for them.
"Hey, the purpose of this meeting now is to study how to deal with the current situation and face it head-on?"
Sighing softly, Ling Fan asked the biggest question in his heart, and at the same time stared at Tang Yibing's face, waiting for the other party's answer.
It wasn't until he saw Tang Yibing slowly shake his head that Ling Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, what we want to study is not how to destroy these forces, but how to avoid this war!"
Almost every family or sect exists in the sphere of influence of the larger sect and is attached to the largest sect among them.
Be limited by them, and at the same time be protected by them.
Although there are not many sects around the Tang family, and most of them are not very powerful, if they really take the initiative to attack them, it will inevitably arouse the disgust of the forces behind them, and they will even be hit by those forces.
This was what Ling Fan was most worried about.
However, although the purpose of this meeting was to study how to avoid this battle, it seems that everyone is talking about it now, but it is more like a quarrel, and it is clear that there is no good way to discuss it.
"Family Master, if you want me to say, let's also find a powerful sect to attach to, with the current strength of our Tang family, as well as medical skills, we will definitely be able to find the top few in the entire Zhongzhou who are willing to protect us. ”
In the midst of the discussions, some people put forward such an idea.
It's just that as soon as such words came out, someone immediately denied it.
"No, even if we can really attach ourselves to a top-level sect and get their protection, I'm afraid we will inevitably lose a lot, the most important of which is freedom!"
This freedom is no longer a matter of one person, but the entire Tang family.
If the Tang family really attached themselves to others, although they would be protected, when that person needed cannon fodder and needed to complete a task with greater damage, they would inevitably find them, and at that time, they couldn't refuse at all.
Without freedom, it means that the Tang family is no longer an independent family, and it is reasonable for everyone to deny it.
Even the children of the Tang family who put forward that opinion did not refute at this time, but just stomped their feet anxiously, looked at the ceiling, and said helplessly.
"But this doesn't work, that doesn't work, then what do you say we should do? Are you just waiting for those little fish and shrimp to come to the door to find trouble?"
This person's words made everyone in the Tang family stunned, and then the entire main hall fell into silence.
All those in the silence, you look at me, I look at you, but no one speaks, because there is no one who has anything to do.
After a while, people who really couldn't think of a way all set their eyes on Tang Han.
At this time, they also wanted to see how the previous head of the Tang family, Tang Han, who had just succeeded him this time, dealt with the situation in front of them.
Tang Han was no stranger to the feeling of being watched by everyone, but in the face of such a familiar scene, he was unexpectedly nervous.
It is indeed surprising that the head of a family, who is facing everyone every day, is actually nervous, but in addition to surprise, everyone also feels that this crisis is almost unprecedented.
Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone in the main hall, Tang Han looked around and sighed lightly.
"For the current situation, I can't do anything for the time being. ”
As soon as Tang Han's words came out, they immediately caused everyone's discussion, and the entire main hall suddenly boiled.
When they were discussing, their faces were more or less panicked, obviously, Tang Han's words hit them too hard.
After all, Tang Han is the head of the family, if the head of the family loses confidence in protecting the Tang family, then how can he expect ordinary people from the Tang family to protect the Tang family.
There was a sudden discussion in the main hall, but Tang Han didn't have the slightest expression, as if everything in front of him had long been expected by him.
It wasn't until after half a ring that everyone in the main hall seemed to be tired of talking, and their voices gradually dimmed, and Tang Han's voice sounded.
"Although there is no good way to deal with the situation at the moment, I do have a few ways to deal with the situation at hand. ”
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused again, Ling Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "The first way is that we need to find a sect of equal strength to establish an alliance and help each other, and the other way is to do our best to invite the strong to join us, so that the other sects will be even more afraid of our strength, until they dare not attack us!"
Tang Han's words once again made everyone fall into deep thought.
As he said, these two ways to solve the crisis are the most suitable for the Tang family, who does not want to be attached to anyone.
However, although it is not easy to find a sect and establish an equal alliance, one family is subject to the enemy and defends together, as soon as such an alliance appears, it can make the forces hostile to the Tang family dare not make a move, but it is not easy to find such a sect, after all, the current Tang family is in crisis.
Compared with finding such an alliance, it is easier to invite the strong to join, and even everyone has already thought that as long as one person is invited to join, as long as this person is strong enough, I am afraid it will be enough to scare other forces.
But where can such a person be found?
With such a thought, everyone pondered for a long time, but at this moment, someone suddenly noticed that Tang Han's gaze suddenly looked at Ling Fan.
"What is the head of the family doing staring at Ling Fan at this time?"
"Could it be that at this time, he still has the leisure to admire this son-in-law of the Tang family?"
"Although Ling Fan has few qualifications in Zhongzhou, if he wants to help the Tang family in this crisis, he is obviously still a little weaker. ”
Whenever someone saw Tang Han's eyes, they would almost make a comment and say what they thought.
And most of their thoughts had nothing to do with dealing with this crisis, until one person suddenly said something, everyone's eyes lit up, and when they looked at Ling Fan's gaze, they were suddenly full of hot feelings.
"That dragon senior who came with Ling Fan is strong enough!"
This sentence came from the mouth of the three elders of the Tang family.
And here, apart from Ling Fan, only the Third Elder was the most qualified to say this, because he was the only one who had personally felt the strength of the other party.
At the beginning of the competition in the ring, Long Ba just kicked him off with a single blow, and the experience is still fresh in my memory.
And with his reminder, others gradually remembered what happened when the competition was recruited.
This third elder of the Tang family, although his strength has not yet reached the out-of-body stage, the distance is only a line away.
With his strength, Tang Zhongzhong at the beginning probably couldn't do it so easily to lift him away, and even, everyone still remembered that the original Long Ba didn't use all his strength at all, and he didn't even use a little bit of strength.
From the fact that Tang Zhongzhong did not continue to attack Long Ba, and at the same time gave up his plan to attack Long Ba and defeat Long Ba, it can be seen that Long Ba is obviously stronger than Tang Zhongzhong.
Tang Zhongzhong is a monk in the late stage of the out-of-body stage, stronger than him, doesn't it mean that at least it is the Guiyuan period!
"Ling Fan, can that dragon senior who came with you help us?"
This sentence came from Tang Han's mouth, and as his words sounded, everyone looked at Ling Fan with anticipation.
It's just that Ling Fan at this time has a wry smile on his face.
How powerful the dragon tyrant is, only he is the only one present who really knows.
If Long Ba was willing to help, the matter of the Tang family could be easily solved.
It's just that Long Ba didn't completely obey Ling Fan's arrangement, every time he asked Long Ba for help, Ling Fan's tone was very polite, and he could see this.
"Seniors, juniors can try, but whether it is successful or not, juniors don't know"
When Ling Fan said this, the others were not too surprised, but nodded in agreement.
After all, Ling Fan's cultivation, if he could control a strong person like Long Ba, it would surprise them even more.
Almost all of them looked at Ling Fan with gratitude at this time, and in their minds, Ling Fan would definitely spend a lot of thought when he asked Long Ba to make a move, but this grateful gaze quickly turned into surprise.
"By the way, the head of the family, the younger generation has a way to keep the dragon lord seniors around the Tang family."
"Hmm, what method, you say?"
After a short period of surprise, Tang Han immediately asked.
"Family Master, do you know that when the younger generation was in the Eastern Wilderness, he established a sect called the Daoist Sect?"
Ling Fan suddenly said something else, which made everyone wonder, but Ling Fan didn't explain anything, only after seeing Tang Han nodding, he smiled lightly and said, "As long as I move the Dao Sect to the vicinity of this place, I can ask Senior Long to help defend against foreign enemies." ”
Speaking of this, Ling Fan saw that the eyes of everyone around him were still full of doubts, and he suddenly put away his smile and turned to a solemn expression.
"It's just because Senior Long has promised me to help me protect the Dao Sect for a hundred years!"
