Chapter 2353: Chapter 2326: Tang Fengxing’s Ruthlessness

“Family Head, will the people from the Chen Family really take action?”

Suddenly, Tang Zhiwen, who had been quietly contemplating, raised his head and spoke, “The Chen Family is a hidden family; they never interfere with outside affairs. Even when my elder sister-in-law married into our Tang Family, the Chen Family only sent someone to escort her over, without having any contact with our Tang Family. Now that we’ve asked them to take action, would they break their rule of staying hidden from the world for us?”

Upon hearing Tang Zhiwen’s words, everyone simultaneously turned their gaze to Tang Fengxing, awaiting his response.

Feeling the weight of everyone’s gaze, Tang Fengxing said straightforwardly, “You can completely put your mind at ease, and I have no reason to fabricate such an easily debunked lie to deceive you. If you don’t believe me, you can wait here for your sister-in-law to return and see whether what I say is true or false.”

“Family Head, do we really have to do this?” Tang Zhiwen stared into Tang Fengxing’s eyes and spoke.

“Yes, we absolutely must do this.”

Tang Fengxing said firmly, “Our Tang Family cannot afford to lose anymore, and we must not lose. This time, no matter what, we have to gamble once, otherwise, even if we succeed in stepping out of Shu in the future, we will face attacks from various powerful families in China. Even if we succeed, the loss will be severe, we might become a second-rate or third-rate family, or possibly be completely wiped out. However, if we have the Peacock Feather in hand, once we step out of Shu, no one can stop us, for those who block us will die.”

After hearing Tang Fengxing’s words, the eyes of Tang Liangcai and the other four became even brighter. If the Tang Family can rise up, step out of Shu, and become a top family in China, their status would also soar, earning respect from countless people.

Power is always a good thing; no one dislikes it because as long as you have power, whatever you desire, you can obtain.

“Family Head, we support you.”

Everyone once again made their stance clear: seeking wealth and prestige amidst risk.

It’s a gamble. If victorious, the Tang Family’s future would be bright; if defeated, the loss would not be significant for the Tang Family because with the Chen Family involved, Lu Tianxing will undoubtedly die.

Tang Zhiwen alone did not express his stance. His face bore a contemplative look, seemingly pondering whether or not to proceed with the plan and if it is worthwhile.

“Zhiwen, what about you? Do you have anything to say?” Tang Fengxing noticed Tang Zhiwen’s hesitance to speak and couldn’t help but ask.

Tang Zhiwen pondered again and then said, “Family Head, if we’re really going to do this, should we leave behind a trace of incense, leave descendants for the Tang Family, in case we fail, we can have a chance for resurgence?”

“Zhiwen, you’re right. Tomorrow, I will arrange for some younger members of the Tang Family to leave Shu, or even China, and go into hiding. If we gamble and lose this time, these people will be the foundation for the Tang Family’s future resurgence.” Tang Fengxing said, looking at Tang Zhiwen.

“Family Head, are you telling the truth?” Tang Zhiwen stared at Tang Fengxing, speaking in a solemn tone.

“Of course, I’m the Family Head of the Tang Family; do you think I’d allow the Tang Family to vanish into nothingness?”

Tang Fengxing stared intently at Tang Zhiwen and said, “Zhiwen, you can express your stance now, I need your answer because we must be united now.”

Tang Zhiwen fell into silence, although Tang Fengxing’s tone conveyed little, Tang Zhiwen discerned that Tang Fengxing was pressing for a decision.

Though he wanted to agree, for some reason, Tang Zhiwen always felt that agreeing would genuinely place the Tang Family in danger. If Lu Tianxing were truly easy to kill, he would have died long ago, as he has offended far too many parties. If he were easy to kill, he would have been crushed to a pulp long ago, dead beyond doubt.

After pondering for a long time, Tang Zhiwen looked at Tang Fengxing and said firmly, “Family Head, I agree, but I have a request.”

“What request?”

“When leading the younger members to leave Shu this time, there must be a leader. I wish to lead some younger members of the Tang Family away so that in case of any incidents, I can take care of them. Of course, my forces, I will leave them all with the Tang Family, not taking away a single one.”

Tang Zhiwen was afraid. Despite Lu Tianxing facing the greatest crisis, Tang Zhiwen still sensed fear, a constant feeling like a dark cloud shrouding the Tang Family, with thunder and lightning within, threatening to devour the entire family, causing an overwhelming chill, pushing him to desperately want to escape.

After hearing Tang Zhiwen’s words, Tang Fengxing gave him a deep look and finally nodded, “Zhiwen, you’re right. For the younger members leaving, someone must accompany them; without care, it’s not feasible. Since that’s the case, you may handle this matter. Leave now, go select some people to leave with you, because without strength, it is easy for incidents to occur.”

Tang Zhiwen said nothing more, nodded directly, “Thank you, Family Head.”

With that, Tang Zhiwen rose to leave.

Tang Zhiwen hadn’t walked a few steps when suddenly Tang Fengxing sprung up from the sofa, emitting an intense chill that seized one’s heart and mind. Raising his hand, he fiercely punched Tang Zhiwen’s back.

“Boom!”

Tang Zhiwen never anticipated Tang Fengxing would suddenly attack him, and before he could react, Tang Fengxing’s fist had already slammed into his back, violent True Qi surging into his internal organs.

“Pfft!”

Tang Zhiwen’s body trembled, a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organ fragments spurted from his mouth, appearing exceptionally alarming under the lamp’s illumination.

“Ah!”

Tang Zhiwen instinctively emitted a cry of anguish, slowly turning his head to look, only to see Tang Fengxing glaring at him with a sinister face, his killing intent blatantly evident.

All of this transpired in an instant, leaving Tang Liangcai and the others dumbfounded.

By the time they realized it, Tang Fengxing had already punched Tang Zhiwen.

“Why?” Tang Zhiwen looked at Tang Fengxing with disbelief and asked.

He never imagined that Tang Fengxing would strike him fatally; he never imagined that one day, it wouldn’t be the enemy’s hand ending him, but his own kin’s, his own cousin’s hand.

He devoted himself to the Tang Family, yet this was the ultimate outcome, undeniably a colossal irony.
