A thin old man had a wry smile on his face. Feeling the fierceness coming from the void, he quickly lowered his head and said, "I will obey Mr. Zhang's order. Wang Teng will immediately go to the northwest to pay for his crimes and make meritorious deeds."
"Hmm..." The faint voice began to fade away.
Along with it, the powerful aura that suppressed everyone's souls and trembled, also disappeared.
Phew! Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The feeling of having your soul suppressed is not pleasant.
At this time, Hou Boyan, who was sitting in the main seat, straightened his body and said indifferently: "Did you all hear what was said over there in the Forbidden City?"
"As the Pavilion Master, I didn't want to take care of your factional disputes before, but since it involves the Iron Law of Lingyan Pavilion, I have to take care of it."
"Wang Teng, what else can you say now?"
Hou Boyan's eyes glowed with light, and his aura swept the entire audience.
As the pavilion master, his cultivation level is at the peak of Nascent Soul Realm, which is enough to suppress all the pavilion elders present.
"Pavilion Master, I can't say anything."
The thin old man stood up with a wry smile, cupped his hands and looked around: "Because of my own selfish desires, Ling Yange and I have suffered together. I'm sorry."
Someone snorted coldly: "Huh, if I had known it, why would I do it now? Now Lingyan Pavilion will have to compensate 600,000 spirit stones. From now on, the cultivation resources will be reduced by 30%, and we will also be affected."
The thin old man remained silent, bowed his hands to everyone again, and then walked quietly out of the door.
He has been sent to the northwest border.
The situation there is complicated and cannot be suppressed within seven or eight years. To put it bluntly, he has been completely expelled from the power structure of Lingyan Pavilion.
"Let's adjourn the meeting. Come with me to the military headquarters tomorrow to apologize."
Hou Baiyan spoke indifferently, and disappeared in a flash.
……at the same time.
Over at the Military Region Staff Headquarters, a group of assassins were having a quarrel. They were all clamoring to send troops to suppress Lingyan Pavilion, which caused a headache for several senior officials in the General Staff Headquarters.
Fortunately, Zhang Wenyuan's words also resonated with the military.
After some silence.
"Hehe, there are 600,000 spirit stones, and so many magic weapons and spiritual weapons. Lingyan Pavilion is going to vomit blood."
Some people grinned happily.
"Tsk, tsk, it seems that the Forbidden City is still optimistic about our military department. In the future, with 30% of Lingyan Pavilion's training resources, the number of strong military personnel will gradually increase."
"Yes, yes, even if we send troops to grab it, we may not be able to grab so much."
"Damn it, Lao Luo, please be careful what you say, can that be called a robbery?
We are enforcing justice."
"Go away, you were the one who said you were going to grab resources just now."
"Hahaha, anyway, the goal has been achieved now..." The attitude of the group of killers changed very quickly from the anger before to the laughter now.
After all, 600,000 spiritual stones are considered a large amount of training resources for the military.
Before this, the military's training resources for a whole year were only about 500,000 spiritual stones.
The senior staff officers looked helpless.
One of the big guys knocked on the table: "Since the results have been given by the Forbidden City, let's end this matter. Anyway, with the resources, we can calm your anger."
"But..." He paused and said solemnly: "The military department will also start self-examination and strictly investigate the hidden forces colluding with the generals. Once discovered, they will not tolerate it!"
When it came to business, the generals nodded.
After all, when it comes to the military, they are quite serious.
After the meeting, the generals returned to their barracks.
Soon, strict emergency military orders were issued to various places, and the military inspection department was also put into operation, and began to conduct overt and covert inspections to collect intelligence.
...Jiangbei Han River.
Tang Ming didn't know what was happening in Kyoto, so he practiced at the bottom of the Han River for a whole day and two nights.
Until early the next morning.
"Bang!"
Tang Ming jumped out of the water, and the spiritual power around his body steamed his clothes dry.
"The cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation building has been solid, and it is time to attack the later stage of foundation building."
"There are veins of high-grade spiritual stones, so I don't have to worry about the spiritual energy. However, I still need to refine some elixirs to assist my practice, and try to speed up the process as much as possible."
Tang Ming murmured to himself.
When he was in the early stage of foundation building, he could use his magical power to surpass the early stages of killing the golden elixir.
Logically speaking, this was already terrifying, but Tang Ming was still not satisfied.
It is still the end of July, and he will go to Jinling in a while. Before going to Jinling, he must improve his cultivation to the late stage of foundation building, or even the peak.
Only if he has the strength to fight against the peak Jin Dan, can he be sure to go to Jinling and confront the Tang family.
"Don't go back to the Tang family until you enter the Golden Core, and don't seek revenge until you reach Yuanying!"
This was the warning his father gave him.
Tang Ming can now cross the ranks and kill the strong men in the middle stage of the Golden Core. He can go back to Jinling to take a look. As for revenge, he still needs to act according to the situation.
...Tang Ming returned to Hanjiang Villa.
During this period, Zhu Manqing had rebuilt the Zhu family with the help of the Wei family and the Zijin Chamber of Commerce, and also gathered some collateral descendants who were loyal to the Zhu family.
Although the frame is a little thin, it has been rebuilt.
After Tang Ming returned, Wei Honglin and Xia Dehai also came to report the situation.
"Mr. Tang, the Youge Property Auction has been confirmed and will be held in just one week."
"These days, we have controlled many industries. The commercial market in Jiangbei is huge. Coupled with the current reshuffle of forces, it is a great time for us to enter."
Wei Honglin said with excitement on his face.
Tang Ming nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Well, you can take care of these things as long as you don't mess around."
Wei Honglin smiled and said: "Mr. Tang, please rest assured, Wei Tao will lead Qingmingtang to supervise, and we will not mess around."
After discussing for a while, Wei Honglin and Xia Dehai left in a hurry and continued to take care of business in Hanjiang River.
When Tang Ming was going to take a shower, a video call came over.
China Overseas Video Phone.
Tang Ming connected, and a familiar beautiful woman, Aunt Liu, appeared on the screen.
"Aunt Liu, happy birthday."
Tang Ming scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I originally wanted to go back to Zhonghai to celebrate your birthday in person, but something delayed me here, so I'm really sorry."
"What are you talking about? Xiao Ming, I'm very happy that you can remember Aunt Liu's birthday."
Aunt Liu's face was filled with a smile, and then something seemed to sound, and she took out an exquisite packaging box from the side.
The packaging box is made of genuine leather and has the professional Hermès logo on the outside.
The edge is even engraved with dark golden patterns, which is very classy.
"Xiao Ming, I received this gift at noon today. I thought someone had remembered it wrong, until I saw your name."
"Xiao Ming, you don't have to spend so much money. This Hermès box is very expensive. Why do you want to buy it for me?"
Liu Qing glared at Tang Ming angrily: "Isn't this box expensive?
I heard that a box like Hermès sells for hundreds of thousands, which is simply a money grab."
Box?
Tang Ming was stunned for a while and said strangely: "Aunt Liu, do you think this is a box?"
Liu Qing wondered: "Isn't it just a box? When it was delivered, there was a layer of exquisite packaging outside the box."
Um... Tang Ming was a little embarrassed and said anxiously: "Aunt Liu, actually the gift I gave is not the box, but the contents of this box."
