Chapter 177 Tang Sect: Were we tricked?

the other side.

Inside the Tang Clan's reception room.

Tang Miaoxing, Zhang Wang, and Tang Qiushan almost simultaneously pulled out a round plate from their pockets.

The disc is only the size of a palm, and its sides are made of warm white porcelain, as white as jade, radiating a soft luster.

The very center of the disc is a deep black, which at first glance resembles a mysterious curtain, adorned with dozens of striking red dots.

What's amazing is that these little red dots are not stationary, but are moving at an extremely fast speed.

"Alright...it has already begun..."

Tang Miaoxing's gaze swept quickly across the red dot, then turned to the window, a slight smile playing on her lips:
"In times of peace, it's a rare treat for the children of our Tang Clan to get some exercise. Let's go take a look..."

Zhang Wang nodded, his gaze falling on the disc in his hand, but his brows quickly furrowed.

"Look, these red dots have suddenly split into three waves!"

Tang Miaoxing and Tang Qiushan immediately looked down.

Sure enough, within this circular platform called "Guanyuan," the red dots representing the Tang Clan disciples were rapidly diverging, heading in three different directions.

"What happened? Zhang Chulan and the other two got separated?"

After watching for a while, Zhang Wang's expression changed.

"No, although they are moving in three directions, they are all moving towards the back of the mountain."

His voice became cold and stern:

"Didn't we agree to stay near the dense forest and lure the Quanxing out? What are they doing in the back mountain?"

"The back mountain..." Tang Miaoxing's gaze drifted towards the back mountain, and he pondered, "It seems that everything Zhang Chulan said before was just a pretext, and this is his real purpose."

His eyes narrowed slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them.

"Heh, we thought Zhang Chulan wanted to use us to deal with Quanxing, but now it seems that he might also be using Quanxing to restrain us."

"Their initial target was the back mountain."

“There’s nothing good on the back mountain…” Zhang Wang’s face turned ashen. “Unless… he’s trying to break into the Tang Tomb!”

"Tang Tomb?"

Tang Qiushan, who had been all smiles, now realized the seriousness of the situation and asked in confusion, "What are they doing at Tang Tomb?"

"Ha! No matter what, we have to stop them."

Zhang Wang's eyes were blazing with anger, and the veins on his neck became even more prominent due to his fury.

"That's a forbidden area of ​​the Tang Clan. Except for the annual sacrificial rites, no one is allowed to enter without the sect leader's permission. Zhang Chulan actually dared to barge in like that, it's simply arrogant!"

"Yes, yes, we definitely have to stop them."

Tang Qiushan's usually amiable face showed a rare hint of anxiety.

"The Tang Tomb is surrounded by traps. If they accidentally die in the Tang Tomb, we won't be able to explain it to Na Du Tong and the Celestial Master's Mansion."

He looked up at Tang Miaoxing and said urgently, "Senior brother, you should make a decision quickly."

Tang Miaoxing put away the Guanyuan Garden, a cryptic glint in his eyes, and then he slowly said:
"One person at a time, step in and stop them."

……

The outskirts of the dense forest.

Feng Baobao nimbly dodged the projectiles flying from all sides, while simultaneously speaking into the phone to Zhang Chulan:

"Zhang Chulan, you're right, those kids who use poison have really become more vicious!"

"Of course! Our intentions have probably been seen through by those old men from the Tang Clan. Now these people aren't playing house with us; they're serious."

"Sister Bao'er, remember, don't get entangled in a fight with them, try to get to the Tang Tomb in the back mountain."

"Mmm," Feng Baobao responded, then asked, "Are we going straight to find that person?"

"Not yet." Zhang Chulan continued talking on the phone while throwing a palm strike behind him.

“A place that even my grandfather wouldn’t dare to venture into must be extremely dangerous.”

"Let's meet at the back entrance first, wait for the Quanxing people to arrive, and then sneak in together."

"Those three should be arriving soon, Bao'er, remember to take good care of yourself."

“No problem,” Feng Baobao replied calmly.

"Well, I need to inform my junior uncle again. That's all for now."

Just as Zhang Chulan was about to dial the number again, his phone was struck by a hidden weapon from behind, and a bloody mark appeared on his hand.

He turned his head and saw that Tang Wenlong was only two meters away from him.

"Holy crap! They're chasing us that fast!"

……

Tang Qiushan was responsible for intercepting Zhang Chulan's direction.

Following the location Tang Wenlong had just indicated, he walked briskly forward, glancing at the Guanyuan map in his hand from time to time, while keeping a close eye on the surrounding situation.

Just then, three Tang Clan disciples appeared in front of him.

Although all three were wearing the same style of black school uniform, Tang Qiushan, as the vice principal in charge of moral education at Tangmen Martial Arts School, was extremely familiar with the Tangmen disciples and recognized them at a glance.

From left to right, they are Tang Qingfeng, Tang Wenhu, and Tang Yunying.

Tang Qiushan quickly stopped the three of them and asked:
"How did it go? Did you manage to stop Zhang Chulan?"

"Elder Qiushan, not yet," Tang Yunying, who had walked to the far right, replied.

"Not yet... then they must be catching up to the back of the mountain soon."

Tang Qiushan subconsciously looked down at Guanyuan Garden.

As expected, most of the red dots representing Tang Clan disciples on Guanyuan Garden had already reached the entrance to the back mountain. Even the red dot closest to them was now not far from the back mountain.

and many more!

Tang Qiushan's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he was startled.

The recent red dot... shouldn't it be right in front of me?
His hand unconsciously tightened around Guanyuan, and his brows furrowed slightly, but this subtle movement only lasted for a moment before he quickly returned to normal.

However, with such a simple action, Lü Liang, who was disguised as "Tang Qingfeng," immediately realized that they had been exposed.

No matter how excellent the disguise effect of the Domain Poison was, it could not escape the detection of Guanyuan.

Guanyuan observes Qi, specifically the Qi of Tang Sect disciples that has been recorded.

Therefore, the three of them will not appear in the Guanyuan Garden in Tang Qiushan's possession.

Tang Qiushan was clearly already suspicious!

really……

The next moment, Tang Qiushan slowly raised his head, subtly placing the hand holding Guanyuan behind his back, calmly looking at the three of them, and took the initiative to probe:

"How's the situation over there?"

"Thankfully, we're almost surrounded!" Lü Liang replied calmly.

"Oh, I see... okay..." Tang Qiushan said calmly, "By the way, my Guanyuan Garden is broken, can I take a look at yours..."

No sooner had Tang Qiushan finished speaking than a flash of cold light appeared, and a hidden weapon shot out of his hand like lightning, heading straight for Lü Liang, who was standing in the middle. Lü Liang was prepared and quickly turned to the side, the hidden weapon grazing past the hem of his clothes.

"They actually managed to dodge?" Tang Qiushan looked at the three people in front of him, his expression turning serious. "It seems that those who sneaked in this time aren't small fry!"

After saying that, he made another move. This time, six hidden weapons flew out of his hand at the same time, shooting swiftly towards Lü Liang and the other two from various tricky angles.

"call out--"

The sharp sounds of hidden weapons slicing through the air rang out one after another.

Upon seeing this, Lü Liang and the other two immediately mobilized the flow of Qi within their bodies, their speed suddenly increasing, and they narrowly avoided this dense attack.

However, as they circulated their Qi, their disguises gradually faded away like melting snow.

Lü Liang revealed his second disguise, which he had created with his red hands—Xia Liuqing.

Similarly, Wang Ye, standing to the side, transformed from Tang Wenhu into "Mei Jinfeng," a form created using the Feng Hou Qi Men method.

Only Tu Junfang revealed his true face.

"Xia Liuqing, Mei Jinfeng, and the Corpse Demon!! Tu Junfang of Quanxing has indeed arrived!"

Tang Qiushan frowned, his expression turning serious.

He leaped up, dodging the stones that Mei Jinfeng was controlling with her telekinesis, and then quickly threw several hidden weapons in retaliation.

at this time……

Tang Qiushan caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye that Tu Junfang suddenly accelerated forward, his target being him.

His heart tightened, and purple Qi surged from his body. This Qi quickly condensed, forming a solid layer of poisonous miasma that exuded an eerie aura, to guard against Tu Junfang's terrifying corpse poison.

At the same time, gray Qi also surged from Tu Junfang's body. The two completely different Qi flows, once they came into contact, began to tear and erode each other like two ferocious wild beasts...

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Tang Qiushan's forehead. He gritted his teeth and persevered, muttering curses under his breath:

"Tu Junfang, you little brat, what are you doing meddling in the Tang Clan!"

"Naturally, it's because the Tang Clan has what I want." Tu Junfang said slowly with a wicked smile on his face, "It seems that Master Qiushan is not very welcoming to me."

As he spoke, he continued to work, increasing the output of his Qi. The gray corpse poison Qi surged even more violently, pressing down hard on the poison barrier.

Meanwhile, Wang Ye manipulated the wind ropes, lifting up the stones on the ground and launching wave after wave of attacks towards Tang Qiushan.

Those attacks weren't particularly powerful, but inexplicably they were very difficult to dodge.

Caught between these two attacks, Tang Qiushan gradually began to retreat, his steps unconsciously slipping away.

But just as he turned to leave, Tu Junfang reacted swiftly, lunging forward and grabbing Tang Qiushan's hands, sneering:

"Trying to run?! Do you think I'll let you have your way?!"

……

The next instant, the three corpses on Tu Junfang's body were revealed.

His corpse turned out to be a giant wasp, hundreds of times larger than a normal wasp, its enormous size almost comparable to that of an adult.

The giant bee was seen vibrating its wings violently, making a buzzing sound that sent chills down one's spine.

In the blink of an eye, it split into hundreds of fist-sized wasps, like a black cloud, rushing frantically towards Tang Qiushan's poisonous miasma from all directions, trying to break through it from every tricky angle.

His internal body was a cold, venomous snake.

It stretched its snake head forward, flicking its tongue, its eyes gleaming with a cold light, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

As for the lower corpse, among Tu Junfang's three corpses, the one that is closest to human form is a woman.

She moved nimbly and strangely on all fours, circling around Tu Junfang, constantly on guard against possible attacks from other directions.

Under the powerful onslaught of the three corpses, large beads of sweat rolled down Tang Qiushan's forehead, his face flushed red, as he fought back with all his might.

He was so focused on the threat before him that he didn't notice a blue hand, emitting an eerie blue light, silently appearing behind him...

After the blue hand touched Tang Qiushan, it split into more than a dozen small blue hands, which rushed into his forehead.

"what!!"

Tang Qiushan cried out in pain, losing all will to fight Tu Junfang, and hurriedly covered his forehead with both hands.

However, it was all in vain.

In just a moment, Tang Qiushan's eyes began to vacant, his body went limp, and he knelt heavily on the ground, his eyes glazed over.

"Hehe, you succeeded?"

Upon seeing this, Tu Junfang quickly put away the three corpses and looked with great interest at the blue Qi flowing continuously from Lü Liang's palm, his eyes full of curiosity and amazement.

"Tsk tsk... Acting Sect Leader's move is impressive. Even the Tang Clan's poison barrier couldn't withstand your technique!"

Lu Liang shrugged and laughed, "After all, I only attack the soul, and the only thing that can resist it is the powerful spiritual force originating from the soul."

"Even for a renowned figure in the Tang Clan, dealing with both of you simultaneously while still having enough mental energy to resist my attacks is quite a challenge!"

Seeing that Tang Qiushan had completely lost consciousness, Wang Ye took a few steps closer and said:
"How's it going, Lao Lü? You'll need some time to get to work, right? Isn't it unsafe here?"

"It's okay, it won't take too long."

Lu Liang smiled easily, "This senior's spirit is not as strong as I expected, and my methods are not comparable to those before."

As he spoke, he squatted down and used the Blue Hand again.

Soon, he took out two memory energy clusters from between Tang Qiushan's eyebrows.

The first memory cluster contains information about Tang Tomb and the ancestors of the Tang Clan, while the second cluster erases the memory of Tang Qiushan being attacked by the Blue Hand.

……

Lu Liang sent the first cluster of memory energy into his brow, and soon, images of memories about the Tang Tomb flashed by.

Information about the ancestors of the Tang family also emerged soon afterward.

Lu Liang paused for a moment, but quickly composed himself and addressed Wang Ye and Tu Junfang:

"Let's go, we've got the information about Tangzu."

"We can head over now to meet up with Zhang Chulan and the others."

The three of them placed the unconscious Tang Qiushan by the roadside and then quickly ran towards the back of the mountain.

On the way, Lü Liang used his telepathic communication ring to call Zhang Chulan.

The call was connected after a while, and Zhang Chulan's panting voice came from the other end.

"Holy crap! These Tang Sect disciples are really fierce! If I hadn't turned Xunlei's power up to the maximum, they would have caught me by now."

"Hey? Brother Lü, you guys succeeded?"

"Yes, we have the route map of Tang Tomb and the general layout of the nine checkpoints. However, Tang Qiushan is not clear about the details of the mechanism array, so we can only try it on the spot."

"Okay, Brother Lü, I'll wait for you to come over so we can go in together."

"How are things going with Feng Baobao and Zhang Lingyu?" Lü Liang asked.

According to information that Tang Wenlong inadvertently revealed, Zhang Wang is the one pursuing Bao'er.

"The person on my end is most likely Tang Qiushan, whom you guys stopped. I couldn't contact Junior Uncle because my phone is broken; logically, it should be Tang Miaoxing—"

"Oh no! I can't take it anymore!" Zhang Chulan's voice became urgent. "Brother Lü, you guys need to come quickly, I can't hold on much longer!"

 Thank you so much for the monthly tickets from Changhou's side!! Thank you!!
