Chapter 2356 - 2329: Chen Bubai

Upon hearing Tang Fengxing’s icy words, everyone couldn’t help but shiver. What Lu Tianxing said was completely true; given Lu Tianxing’s nature, he would definitely not spare them.

"Enough, I’ve said what I needed to say. If there’s nothing else, you may leave!" Tang Fengxing spoke again.

"Family Head, we bid you farewell now."

Upon Tang Fengxing’s words, the four people led by Tang Liangcai stood up directly from their chairs, respectfully bowed to Tang Fengxing, then turned around to head outside.

Once they were outside, the four of them took a heavy breath, feeling the cold wind pass by, only to realize their backs were already soaked in cold sweat, as if they had just walked out of Ghost Gate and back into the human world.

"Someone come here." Watching Tang Liangcai and the others leave, Tang Fengxing sat on the chair, silent for a moment, suddenly called out toward the outside.

As soon as Tang Fengxing’s voice fell, two cold-faced middle-aged men entered the hall like the wind.

Upon seeing Tang Zhiwen lying in a pool of blood inside the study, a cold light flashed in both their eyes, and they stood silently like ghosts, waiting for Tang Fengxing’s instructions.

Tang Fengxing glanced at the two, stood up from the chair directly, walked slowly to Tang Zhiwen, squatted down slowly, looked at Tang Zhiwen’s already cold body, and murmured softly: "Zhiwen, don’t blame me; I’m doing this for the future of the Tang Family. Rest in peace. If we succeed, you will be the greatest hero of the Tang Family."

Then, Tang Fengxing raised his head and looked at the two middle-aged men in front of him, speaking word by word: "I was assassinated; Zhiwen fought to save me and died tragically. This blood debt is on the Lu Family. Spread the news."

"Yes!"

The two middle-aged men simultaneously bowed and complied.

Tang Fengxing withdrew his gaze and again looked at the deceased Tang Zhiwen and said coldly: "Send Zhiwen’s corpse to his home and bury him with honor!"

"Yes!"

The two middle-aged men respectfully responded, then walked to Tang Zhiwen’s side, bent down to lift him up, and turned to leave.

Watching Tang Zhiwen being carried out and seeing the bloodstains everywhere, Tang Fengxing took a deep breath: "Lu Tianxing, Lu Family, all of this was forced upon me by you. It’s all your fault. Wait for me to destroy your Lu Family; I’ll make sure none of your family members remain."

The bloodthirsty and sinister intent echoed in the room, and Tang Fengxing’s face showed an undisguisable vicious expression.

"Thump!" "Thump!" "Thump!"

Suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps came from outside.

Upon hearing the footsteps, Tang Fengxing’s face changed slightly, a burst of True Qi whirled out, directly sweeping up the blood on the ground, and threw it out the window. Then, he looked toward the doorway, and the previously gloomy expression vanished instantly, replaced by a look of intense anticipation.

A moment later, two figures appeared in Tang Fengxing’s vision; leading was a woman with a graceful figure. Although she was over forty years old, the marks of time hadn’t shown at all, making her look no different from an eighteen-year-old girl.

That woman was none other than Chen Min.

Beside Chen Min was an elderly man who looked seventy to eighty years old, extremely thin, almost just skin and bones, as if the wind could blow him over.

Yet his appearance was even more striking than his stature.

Because his eyes were ash-gray, devoid of any sign of life, a glance could make one feel like they were lingering at the gates of Hell, filled with a thick death aura.

"Min’er, you’re back."

Seeing the woman, Tang Fengxing immediately stood up from his chair, striding toward Chen Min.

"Yes, Fengxing, I’m back."

Chen Min nodded slightly upon hearing Tang Fengxing’s words, saying: "Fengxing, let me introduce you; this is my clan uncle, Chen Bubai. He has come to aid us."

"Hello, thank you for your assistance, clan uncle."

Tang Fengxing hurriedly extended his hand, attempting to shake hands with Chen Bubai.

Old Chen Bubai, upon seeing Tang Fengxing’s outstretched hand, showed no emotion in his eyes, nor any interest in shaking hands, merely saying indifferently: "Compared to Tang Aochen, you really fall far short. As a huge Tang Family, you can’t even handle the declining Lu Family. The Tang Family is really deteriorating; when Tang Aochen dies, I estimate your Tang Family will be annihilated."

Upon hearing Old Chen Bubai’s words, Tang Fengxing’s face stiffened, a surge of rage boiling within him. After all, he was the Tang Family Head, a king of Shu, never before openly mocked like this.

Although inferior to the Tang Family Ancestor, shouldn’t he say it to his face? Does he not care about his dignity?

Despite the rage boiling in his heart, Tang Fengxing’s expression didn’t change at all; he only took a deep breath and said: "Uncle, you’re right. It’s my incompetence. Had I not been careless, the Tang Family might not have ended up in this state, nor become like this. If not for Min’er, I would really die to apologize."

As he spoke, Tang Fengxing showed a face full of remorse, as if without any concern, he truly would die to apologize just as he said.

"Fengxing, don’t say such things." Chen Min hastened to speak with some urgency, looking at Tang Fengxing’s remorseful eyes.

"Min’er, all of this is my fault, but I’ll make amends."

Tang Fengxing tightly clasped Chen Min’s hand, then looked at Chen Bubai, saying heavily: "Clan uncle, this time we’ll rely on you more."

"Relying on me is useless."

Chen Bubai glanced at Tang Fengxing, seemingly seeing through his act or showing slight leniency due to Chen Min, and his tone softened slightly, saying: "I’m not here to help you this time but planning to enter Beijing."

"Enter Beijing?"

Without waiting for Tang Fengxing to speak, Chen Min quickly said: "Clan uncle, what do you mean by this? Didn’t you say you’d stay by the Tang Family when you left home? Why are you heading to Beijing now?"

Saying that, Chen Min set her gaze on Chen Bubai, her tone carried a hint of command, feeling a sense of being deceived.
