Chapter 66: Northern City Clan Under Siege

Translator: Novel_Saga Editor: Novel_Saga

A sullen-faced Grandfather Tang stood at the main door, his eyes glimmering with a tinge of hope. Finally, he found a hint of something, which might be a vital clue. However, he was done waiting. Sending out his troops in daylight would cause a huge pandemonium, but now that night had fallen, he had gathered all of Tang Family’s experts!

246 men!

Two of them were Earth Xuan experts with intermediate rank, four were Jade Xuan experts, 12 were Gold Xuan experts, 36 were Silver Xuan experts, and the rest had Level Nine Xuan Qi cultivation. This time around, Grandfather Tang Wan Li had gathered the forces of Tang Family from both inside and outside the city!

In the short span of just one afternoon, he had managed to mobilize all 246 men, who were the strongest within the Tang Family. They were the very foundation of the Tang Family!

This operation must be flawless!

“Our aim is the Northern City Clan for today’s operation,” announced Tang Wan Li sullenly. “I do not want anyone from the clan to escape, especially those who hold the position of Hall Master or higher! I want them to be captured, ALIVE! Do not kill and do not be rash. Understood?”

“Understood!” answered the crowd in unison. They had no idea why they were going against the Northern City Clan, and they felt that it was too extreme to gather so many men just to deal with a mere Northern City Clan. However, upon seeing the grim expression on Tang Wan Li’s face, none of them dared to question him!

“I will be the one conducting today’s operation. If any of you dare to let a member of Northern City Clan escape, you will be beheaded!” commanded Grandfather Tang as he slowly scanned over everyone that was present. Seeing that everyone had listened raptly to his words, he waved his hands and shouted, “Move out!”

Silently, 246 men clad in black from head to toe headed out into the night. Grandfather Tang strode towards the door, his coat rippling in the night wind. He was old but was still strong. Every step of his exuded strength and confidence; his unyielding determination to win tonight’s operation was apparent.

“Wait! I… I want to go too!” huffed a figure in black who had just rushed out from the inner courtyard. This figure looked like a human-sized black meatball – Tang Yuan. Even though Tang Yuan’s figure is extremely unsuitable for any kind of operation, he still wanted to join in the fun. However, he was too round to find any suitable black clothing, which was why he had simply wrapped himself in black cloth before rushing out.

“Roll back to your room!” commanded a furious Grandfather Tang, as he watched the human meatball roll towards him. Grandfather Tang kicked out his leg swiftly, and all 400 plus jin (241 kg) of Tang Yuan shot back towards his room, breaking the door of the room in the process. As he rolled, the black cloth on Tang Yuan’s body tore open, and his white buttocks and thighs could be seen. When he stopped moving, he was resting on his stomach, and his hands and legs were waving desperately in the air, similar to a tortoise that had fallen upside down. With nothing to leverage himself off the ground, Tang Yuan could only roll around, till he managed to push himself up by grabbing the door. With a sigh, he looked, disheartened, at the black and empty courtyard, not a soul in sight…

…

In the darkness of the night, a grand residence could be seen. Within it lay the leadership of the Northern City Clan.

Grandfather Tang’s beard fluttered about as he arranged his men. There were more than a hundred high level experts present, and the huge residence was getting cramped. Everyone was silent as they waited for Grandfather Tang to instruct them.

The other hundred men had separated into four groups, according to Grandfather Tang’s command. Each of the group was assigned to cover the four doorways of the Northern City Clan, their subordinates, casinos, brothels and other locations that were connected to the Northern City Clan. Even the houses of all the leadership of Northern City Clan were covered!

Grandfather Tang’s intention was to block off all possible routes of escape by the Northern City Clan and slowly force them inwards. They would then be surrounded from all sides and no one would be able to escape! Finally, the leadership of Northern City Clan would be wiped out last! With more than a hundred powerful experts surrounding the residence, the people would be trapped inside with no chance of escape.

Anyone who managed to flee would be captured!

Moreover, Grandfather Tang could use this tactic to better understand the attitude of Northern City Clan. If Northern City Clan did not fight back and submit themselves to his mercy, that meant that they had nothing to do with the theft incidence at Tang Residence. Even if they knew something about it, it would likely be unimportant. However, if Northern City Clan acted aggressively to his attacks, and were desperate to escape, it meant that they were connected to the theft incidence.

Yet, even at that moment, Grandfather Tang was still skeptical of the information that Tang Yuan had provided: This clue, found by the infamous debauchees Jun Mo Xie, and Tang Yuan… is just not credible enough! No one else would believe it!

Sadly, I have only myself to blame, for taking things too far. But I am really desperate right now! Sigh, I will just think of this operation as helping the commoners get rid of some nuisance in the world. However, if I were to find out that this is all because of those two douchebags trying to get even with each other… I will capture both Jun Mo Xie and Tang Yuan, and let them feel my wrath! Even Jun Zhan Tian cannot stop me! I will pummel Jun Mo Xie until he turns fat, and pummel Tang Yuan until he turns thin! Let their body be disfigured, for all I care!

Grandfather Tang’s face was extremely black and he gritted his teeth in silent fury.

As he watched the alley before him, sacks of tied up captives started to increase by the number. Grandfather Tang heaved in annoyance. He had already made up his mind to return home and teach the two douchebags a lesson: They have become too daring for their own good! The residence had been surrounded by half an hour already. Every single person that had tried to escape had been caught. Their inner Qi was sealed, their limbs were bound together, and they were gagged. The number of captives was rather significant, yet they remained meek and passive. Hence, Grandfather Tang believed that Northern City Clan was innocent; they had no connection with the theft of the Xuan Core.

That is no surprise. After all, what can this Northern City Clan actually do? Do they even have the guts to disturb the tiger whiskers of my Tang Family?

The experts from the Tang Family started to return, carrying fewer and fewer captives. The raid against the outskirts of Northern City Clan was done!

Grandfather Tang felt defeated. His face was twitching with annoyance as he cursed to himself: Tang Yuan! Jun Mo Xie! You two bastards! Senior will never forgive you! Both of you dare to coerce with each other and trick me into looking like a fool? I swear…

Grandfather Tang was not able to finish his thoughts because right at that moment, numerous silhouettes leaped out from behind the residential walls of the Northern City Clan. Each of them brandished their projectiles and fired. A torrential rain of projectiles begun to descend upon the experts from the Tang Family. Simultaneously, a war cry could be heard from behind the walls, and people started charging out from every single door of the residence! They were like an exploding grenade!

They had the balls to initiate war without stating their motive! They did not even intend to negotiate with Grandfather Tang! Not only that, all of them were running away as if their lives depended on it. It seemed like they were wishing that they were born with more than two legs so they could run even faster.

What does this mean?

Oh my god! This was such an intense reaction! Were they acting any differently from rebels? Grandfather Tang’s eyes were bulging in disbelief. The extreme turn of events had caused him to be overcome with shock for a moment. Grandfather Tang slapped his own thigh forcefully. The pain caused him to snap to attention. He was excited: There is going to be a show!

Exclamations of shock could be heard amongst the members of the ambush team from the Tang Family. The sudden change in scenario had all taken them by surprise. In addition, most of them were only at the Ninth Xuan Qi Level, which meant that they were still rather weak. Most of them had been hit by the projectiles and the injuries were not light. The uninjured men of the Tang Family scattered and lunged towards the members of Northern City Clan that were dashing out. The clanging of swords connecting from both sides rang throughout the night. Brilliant colors of purple, black, silver and gold lighted up the entire area, painting a spectacular scene.

It was as if the firing of the projectiles and the rushing out to fight by the Northern City Clan members had occurred simultaneously.
