Chapter 2319 - 2292: Tang Qingyun’s Arrogance

After Tang Qingyun left, Zhihua picked up the phone, dialed a number, said a few words, then stood up and also walked outside, but the direction she took was not the same as Tang Qingyun’s, it was a completely different direction.

On the other side, after leaving the private room, Tang Qingyun walked straight downstairs without any hesitation.

Although he had obtained the blueprint for the Peacock Plume, there was not much joy evident on Tang Qingyun’s face. Cooperating with Zhihua was like asking a tiger for its skin; a slight misstep could invite a wolf into his home.

Even though Zhihua presented the blueprint for making the Peacock Plume, Tang Qingyun’s heart remained cautious and alert rather than one of sincere trust.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and with Zhihua offering such a generous reward, he had no choice but to take it seriously.

Once he stepped out of the private club, the gloom on Tang Qingyun’s face vanished without a trace. Regardless of what Zhihua might be plotting this time, if she dared to target the Tang family, he’d not hesitate to show her the might of the Tang family. Besides, with the Peacock Plume blueprint, no one would be able to stop the Tang family from stepping out of Shu.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Qingyun walked straight to a Mercedes parked not far away, opened the door, and sat in the back seat.

The driver, Tang Da, couldn’t help but ask after seeing the smile on Tang Qingyun’s face through the rearview mirror: "Young Master, what has made you so happy? You’ve been smiling since you left the Lanye Private Club, did something good happen?"

After hearing Tang Da’s question, Tang Qingyun replied softly, "Of course it’s something worth being happy about."

"Tang Da, do you know? From now on, nothing can stop the rise of our Tang family. Once we step out of Shu, no one can stand in our way, not even Ji Xingyun or the Yang family. They’ll have to follow our lead—from now on, in all of China, our Tang family will be supreme. As for the Lu family, as long as we wish it, we can eliminate them with a flick of our wrist. Whether it’s Lu Tiankuang or Jiang Liufeng, they are like ants that we can crush easily. Our Tang family will dominate the entire Huaxia Martial World."

Tang Qingyun’s voice carried an unmistakable excitement. With the Peacock Plume, Lu Tiankuang, Jiang Liufeng, any genius, were like ants to the Tang family, ready to be crushed at will. As soon as the Peacock Plume emerged, rivers of blood would flow.

"Young Master, you must be joking, right?" Tang Da asked, puzzled.

The Tang family currently faced numerous crises, the threat from the Lu family loomed large, and stepping out of Shu could provoke attacks from Huaxia clans. Yet, Tang Qingyun said these were paper tigers, easily vanquished. His words seemed so strange that Tang Da, if not for his long acquaintance with Tang Qingyun, might suspect he’d gone mad.

"Tang Da, you might think I’ve lost my mind, speaking nonsense. But I assure you, I haven’t. I just met someone who gave me something—a chance for the Tang family to rise."

Tang Qingyun looked at Tang Da without concealing anything. Tang Da, cultivated by the Tang family, had loyalty rooted deep within him; he would never betray the family, even if others did. He would die with a single command.

"What is it?" Tang Da asked curiously.

"The complete blueprint for the Peacock Plume!"

Tang Qingyun slowly uttered the words.

"What?"

Even with Tang Da’s composed nature, hearing these words from Tang Qingyun caused a shock, and his foot involuntarily pressed the gas pedal hard, almost resulting in a collision.

After pulling over safely, Tang Da turned to Tang Qingyun, struggling to believe it. "Young Master, are you serious?"

As a member of the Tang family, Tang Da naturally knew the Peacock Plume blueprint had been lost for over a century, leaving the Tang family without its trump card. That’s why they dared not step out of Shu, fearing becoming targets in the Huaxia Martial Artists Circle. They couldn’t afford a collision with the Lu family either. If Tang Qingyun was telling the truth, and they had the complete Peacock Plume blueprint, they could truly fear nothing. The Lu family, the Yang family, Lu Tiankuang, Jiang Liufeng—even if they weren’t killed, they’d be severely injured by the Peacock Plume, making them unworthy of fear.

Thinking of this, Tang Da quickly spoke: "Young Master, could this be a trap? The Peacock Plume can kill even those at the late stage of Mythical level. Why would they hand it to us so easily? Could it be a conspiracy?"

"To obtain these things, a price must be paid."

"A price?"

Tang Da looked puzzled at Tang Qingyun.

"For us, this price doesn’t matter, because the price is Lu Tianxing."

"Lu Tianxing?"

Tang Da’s confusion deepened upon hearing Tang Qingyun’s words. What did this have to do with Lu Tianxing?

"Of course it’s related to Lu Tianxing because our cooperation’s key lies in Lu Tianxing."

Perhaps having just received the Peacock Plume blueprint made Tang Qingyun unusually cheerful, willing to answer Tang Da’s every question.

"Cooperation?"

Tang Da found himself even more baffled, unable to understand the meaning of Tang Qingyun’s words.

"Tang Da, this person wants to use our hands to force Lu Tianxing to break through to the late stage of Mythical," Tang Da said slowly.

"What?"

Hearing this, Tang Da immediately showed a look of disbelief, turning to Tang Qingyun in urgency. "Young Master, did you agree to her request? This is no joke. If Lu Tianxing breaks through to the late stage of Mythical, it will be almost impossible to suppress him, and then our Tang family will be in danger."

Tang Da’s expression carried an unmistakable gravity. After battling Lu Tianxing last night, he realized just how frighteningly powerful Lu Tianxing was. The quality of his True Qi alone gave him chills. If not for being an experienced martial artist at the late stage of Mythical, it would be impossible to suppress Lu Tianxing.
