Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 898 The Tang Clan's Ancestor Emerges from the Mountain
"Hiss, this..."

Xu San stood up.

They were all little kids once, and during their formative years when they first fell in love, they all had feelings for Feng Baobao.

There's nothing shameful about it. Let alone the two of them, even their father, Xu Xiang, one of the founders of Nadotong and the first head of the North China region, wasn't he the same way when he was a child?
But as they grew older and became more sensible, they realized that the mortal and immortal realms were separate, and that there was probably no future for them with Feng Baobao, so Xu San and Xu Si gave up on the idea.

However, their feelings for each other never faded; they truly considered Feng Baobao their closest person. Although Feng Baobao could be their grandmother in terms of age, the Xu brothers regarded her as their own sister and daughter.

Now that he's heard that someone might send Feng Baobao to He Songling's place to die, Xu San certainly can't accept it.

"Send them to their deaths? Temporary workers are only temporary. If the higher-ups really issue orders to send people to their deaths, aren't they afraid they'll rebel?"

"Third Brother." Even Zhang Chulan looked at him with concern for the mentally challenged. "After the Liao Zhong incident, most of the company's senior management were inclined to eliminate the temporary workers who could defect at any time. And you still openly betrayed us?"

At other times, it's one thing, but if you really go to war with the gods, then it's a state of war. Forget about turning your guns on your own people; even sneaking away would be considered desertion, giving the company a reason to crack down on temporary workers.

Temporary workers don't have deep relationships and are scattered all over the country. How can they possibly stand up against the company? Even if they were truly united, could seven people possibly stand against the company?

"Ah..." Xu San slumped down, "So it's unavoidable?"

“There should still be a way. I don’t think that Ling Songhe will necessarily kill us. Besides… if he really is He Songling, according to him, Bao’er is Wugensheng’s daughter. He and Wugensheng are also acquainted, so he should… he should be able to.”

In the end, Zhang Chulan also lost confidence.

Ultimately, he was just a nobody, and even Xu Si was merely a pillar in the middle, unlikely to influence the overall situation. Neither the company nor the powerful figures on the other side were beyond their comprehension.

"These are turbulent times," Xu Si said, chain-smoking, much like Gao Yuliang the night before he decided to confront Sha Ruijin head-on. However, he now had one more opponent than Gao Yuliang, and the disparity in strength was far greater than that between Gao Yuliang and Sha Ruijin.

"I'm afraid there are more than two opponents." The smoke swirling around Xu Si grew thicker, almost enveloping his entire head. "The matter has long since moved beyond just Ling Songhe and the company. This Luo Tian Grand Ceremony has caused quite a stir. I heard that there's someone hidden deep in the tombs of Sichuan who has also emerged this time."

"Which one is it?" Feng Baobao had lived in Sichuan for as long as she could remember, and spoke with a strong Sichuan accent or Sichuan dialect. When she heard this province, her eyes lit up, and she leaned over to ask, perhaps hoping to find someone she knew.

“The Tang Clan’s patriarch.” Xu Si pressed Feng Baobao back down, his face even more worried. “If the rumors are true and this person is still alive, then regardless of whether Ling Songhe’s identity is real or not, the Old Celestial Master’s status as a ‘top master’ is most likely doomed.”

"So powerful?" Zhang Chulan was taken aback. He hadn't thought anyone could be stronger than the Old Celestial Master. On one hand, out of self-interest, he naturally assumed that those close to him were stronger, and the facts proved this, whether it was his grandfather's achievements or the Old Celestial Master's status.

Furthermore, Tang Clan is just a junior college. As everyone knows, junior colleges are not as good as universities. The president of Trinity University has always been in the public eye, but he has never said that he can surpass his master. He still has to honestly be classified as one of the "two heroes" along with Lu Jin. So why is this great-grandmother of Tang Clan so powerful?
"Of course. This is also news we just received. The information was sent to our regional managers by the company. Take a look." Xu Si handed over a tablet computer, and Xu San, Feng Baobao, and Zhang Chulan all huddled together to look at it.

"Tsk, hiss..." The three of them clicked their tongues after reading just the first sentence. Xu San and Zhang Chulan were genuinely surprised, while Feng Baobao simply found it amusing and imitated their actions.

"He Songling's wife!?"

Xu San and Zhang Chulan exchanged a glance, then looked at Xu Si. Xu Si closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Maru spicy!"

Zhang Chulan leaned back and threw himself on the ground, lying in a spread-eagle position. "Just wait to die. The world war of the supernatural world is coming."

Even if Ling Songhe is indeed He Songling, he is only a suspected deity. So far, he has only contacted Lu Jin and not Trinity University. Lu Jin has not given him any practical help, which shows that, for whatever reason, he is unwilling or unable to rely on the power of these two major forces.

So even if there is a conflict, it's just the company versus the deity, nothing more.

But if He Songling's wife were still alive, things would be different. He Songling appeared out of thin air, while his wife was resurrected in the Tang Tomb and could command the Tang Clan without any problem.

Once they really build up their power, Trinity University and the Lu family will probably be dragged into it as well. Don't be fooled by how impressive they seem; their extensive equipment and talent development system all originate from Trinity University and the Tang Clan.

If things really turn sour, and both companies cut off supplies, then even with the official advantage that is claimed to not exist, All-Access can only have a numerical advantage at most.

But there are deities on their side, possibly even a husband and wife deity.

Although it was clear before the Tang Clan's ancestor disappeared that she wasn't a deity, what if she was? Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor could ascend to immortality with three thousand women, so why couldn't He Songling bring his wife to become an immortal?
Although no Celestial Master descended the mountain in this life, and no one witnessed the old Celestial Master's earth-shattering feat of single-handedly annihilating the entire sect through his revolutionary Qi cultivation, thanks to He Songling, such a feat had already been demonstrated more than eighty years ago.

Although it's from a long time ago and there's no video footage, many people nowadays consider it an exaggeration or rumor about their predecessors. However, given the company's capabilities, they should be able to verify its authenticity. At least Zhao Fangxu, the head of NaDuTong, firmly believes it.

That was before He Songling became an immortal.

Now?

Regardless of what other tricks they have up their sleeves, if a conflict were to break out on this scale, All-Tong alone would definitely have no chance.

Regardless of how things ultimately turn out, whether the gods cause trouble or not, whether they are suppressed or not, the top management of Na Du Tong, including Zhao Fangxu and other directors, will definitely have to step down and be replaced. It's even questionable whether Na Du Tong can continue to exist.
