Chapter 104 The Tang Clan's Foundation

"Is this the Tang Sect's headquarters in Shrek City? It looks quite nice, with a distinct classical beauty. It truly lives up to its reputation as a power that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years."

Following the passages inside the Tang Clan, Wu Changkong led Topa towards the core area of ​​the Tang Clan. Along the way, they saw many buildings with classical styles, and Topa's gaze was inevitably drawn to these buildings.

"Really? Thank you for the compliment."

Although the other party could not be considered a good person by the Tang Clan, such praise was very pleasing, as it was, in a sense, an affirmation of the Tang Clan.

"No, I'm not praising you!"

Toppa looked at Wu Changkong intently, an attitude that made Wu Changkong narrow his eyes. This was completely different from when he was talking with Liu Ying and the others earlier.

Was the other person really this kind of person?

She was someone who completely separated her life from her work, and after Liu Ying and Tang Wulin left, she immediately went into work mode.

If things could be described as friendly before, now all that's left is seriousness and earnestness.

"In fact, this style is quite good. If our Douluo Peace Company needs to build a branch in Shrek City, this style would be perfect!"

Toppa's words made Wu Changkong narrow his eyes. It seemed that there was something more to what Toppa was saying, and it wasn't a good thing for the Tang Sect.

"What do you mean by that?"

However, facing the wary Wu Changkong, Topa merely smiled slightly and then said, "Of course, it's an acquisition!"

"Our Douluo Peace Company plans to open a branch in Shrek City. Since we're opening a company, a suitable location is essential... I think the venue here at Tang Sect is quite good!"

"If you were willing to use this space to pay off your debts, I'm sure it would offset a large portion of them, right?"

"Then you should also know that this is impossible!" Although Wu Changkong's current strength is only Soul Saint, and he can't be considered a high-ranking member of the Tang Sect at all, he is very clear about what the Tang Sect will do next.

"This is a place that the Tang Clan has managed for thousands of years, witnessing countless heroes of the Tang Clan over the years. It is also the foundation for the Tang Clan's resurgence ten thousand years ago. It is absolutely impossible to use it for trading."

"Of course I know that, but you should also be aware of the current state of the Tang Clan, right? If we don't make some choices, we'll probably decline again soon... With the Tang Clan's current methods, can we really rise again?"

The Tang Sect is in a really bad state because its middle and lower levels have been basically all crippled. If it weren't for the support of the two Limit Douluo, Wuqing and Duoqing, and countless hall masters, the Tang Sect would probably have trouble even operating.

After all, an organization can't just have a board of directors as its decision-making body, just as a machine can't only have its main parts while ignoring the screws that assemble it. If all the screws were removed, the Tang Clan would probably collapse in an instant, wouldn't it?

Wu Changkong naturally knew this, but unfortunately, in the Tang Sect's machine, although he was a piece of iron that was more important than a screw, his nature was no different from that of a screw.

Wu Changkong alone cannot have any impact on the future of the Tang Sect!

"Moreover, in the eyes of other forces, the Tang Sect is probably just a piece of juicy meat, isn't it? Do you really have the ability to protect everything you have?"

It's not easy to bring down a powerful force like the Tang Clan. Although the Tang Clan is currently in debt of hundreds of billions, it can still pay back its debts if it is willing to bleed heavily and pay a price.

For example, the small planes they possess, or secret realms like the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, could solve their current urgent problem if they handed over just one of them.

But would the Tang Clan be willing?

How could that be? Holding such a treasure in my hands, I would never hand it over to anyone else, even if it meant my death!

Therefore, the Tang Clan members would rather take on huge debts than give up a single thing. At the same time, they were also vigilant about their surroundings, since the intelligence organizations of various factions were not fools and they were certainly aware of the Tang Clan's current situation.

Although the existence of evil spirit masters makes many people hesitant to act rashly, would the Tang Clan dare to gamble their own fortune on whether others will attack them?

of course not!

Therefore, their main fighting force is currently stationed at key positions on the three continents, leaving them with no spare capacity to attend to other matters.

That's why the problems at the middle and lower levels spread so quickly, leaving the Tang Clan with nothing but its treasure land. All the disciples who should have been cultivating in the Tang Clan have now left.

This is also why Wu Changkong and Tuopa have walked through the Tang Sect for so long without seeing a single person.

"This is an internal matter for our Tang Clan, so there's no need for you to concern yourselves with it."

Although he said that, Wu Changkong had already guessed what the higher-ups' decision was. If nothing unexpected happened, they probably planned to use "those" to repay the debt.

After a period of silence, Wu Changkong finally led Topa to the designated location. Upon opening the door, Manager Guo, with a beaming smile, immediately came out.

"Haha! I never expected that Director Toppa of Douluo Peace Company would actually come to my Tang Sect. What an honor!"

"Not at all, it's an honor for Topa to be able to come to the Tang Sect, which has a long history on the Douluo Continent!"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Manager Guo extended a hand, inviting Topa into the room.

"We already know why Director Toppa came to the Tang Clan, so we made some preparations in advance. These are all items that can't be found on the market; hopefully, they should be able to pay off some of the Tang Clan's debts, right?"

"Oh?"

Upon entering, countless golden lights immediately blinded the three of them, and Toppa couldn't help but smile. It seemed that the Tang Clan did indeed have some skill, and the things they brought out were quite impressive!

The entire room was filled with rare herbs and metals, but the most eye-catching items were three herbs that exuded a unique aroma…

They're all top-quality!

"Three celestial-grade herbs, plus countless rare herbs and metals—the Tang Clan's foundation is truly profound!"

"Haha, after all, our Tang Clan has been passed down for so many years, isn't it normal to have such a foundation? I would appreciate it if Director Toppa could take a good look and tell me just how much our Tang Clan's foundation is worth!"

Although Manager Guo's voice sounded tired, clearly indicating that he had been working hard lately, there was a strong sense of pride in his tone, because this was the confidence that a member of the Tang Clan should have.

However, what Toppa said next made both Manager Guo and Wu Changkong furious.

"These herbs are alright, but they're barely worth 20 billion, right?"

"Compared to the 1000 billion yuan owed by the Tang Clan, this is nothing!"
