Chapter 23
C23 – Angry Tan Zhong
This was the first time that Lian Ning had actually killed someone. However, he did not feel any discomfort.
It seemed that the environment of the apocalypse had made him become ruthless. However, this was also good. This was the only way he could survive.
Next, it was his battlefield. He didn’t just want to use these Ferocious Beasts to kill the people of the Tan family. He also wanted to combine all the Ferocious Beasts.
When a fisherman and a clam fight, the fisherman will benefit, and he will be the fisherman.
At the same time, in the Tan family’s conference hall in the Shenbin Base City.
The head of the Tan family was Tan Zhong. He sat in the hall, but because of his anger, his hands could not stop trembling.
His beloved third brother had died, his fifth brother had died, his eighth brother had died, and all thirty elite disciples had died.
He felt heartache and pity.
This was equivalent to one-third of the Tan family’s strength, and the Tan family only had fifty elite disciples left.
Apart from the people at the Foundation Stage, who could have such strength? Moreover, the killer who killed them was not just one person.
He did not believe that this was the doing of the Ferocious Beasts. Someone must have been plotting against the Tan family.
Tan Tianming’s death might be a bait.
He even thought that the death of the three elders and the thirty elite disciples might be a bigger bait.
However, even though he knew that this was a bait, he had no choice but to fall into a trap. Until now, he did not know who this person was.
The more Tan Zhong thought about it, the more furious he became. He could not help but slap the table hard, causing it to shatter into pieces and turn into dust.
All the disciples and seven elders present trembled. The strength of the Patriarch was so terrifying.
“They are really bullying the Tan family! Have you investigated who is plotting against the Tan family? Is it the Ning family or the Qin family? Or are they working together?”
The Great Elder of the Tan family was Tan Ying. He shook his head and said, “These two families have more than a dozen spies in the Tan family. One of them is even in a high position in the Qin family, but none of them can confirm that this matter is their doing. They even said that the two families did not make any moves in the old city.”
Tan Zhong looked at Tan Ying and nodded. Tan Ying was in charge of the mobilization and arrangement of personnel in the family, and he had never made any mistakes.
It seemed that the mastermind was not from the two families. Who was this person?
“No matter whether the mastermind is from the two families, we have to go to the old city. This time, I will personally lead the team. Other than the Great Elder and Fourth Elder who will stay behind to oversee the affairs of the Tan family, and some disciples of the Tan family who cannot leave, the rest of you will follow me. I want to see if you can defeat me.” In the end, Tan Zhong sighed helplessly and made a decision.
“Yes.” Everyone bowed and answered.
At this moment, someone outside the door said, “The Young Master is back.”
When Tan Zhong heard that his eldest son had returned, the sorrow in his heart slightly dissipated, but he was not happy.
Very quickly, a man in a white robe walked in with his head held high. Everyone in the meeting hall looked at him.
The man had thick eyebrows and big eyes. His demeanor was elegant, and the sunlight shone on his body, as if he was covered in a golden light. He was the young master of the Tan family, Tan Tianqi.
The second young master of the Tan family was Tan Tianming, a person with no talent. Tan Tianqi was different from Tan Tianming. His talent was excellent, and he was hardworking. He was a legend.
He broke through to the Energy Refining Level 10 at the age of eighteen, defeated the young generation of the Shenbin Base at the age of nineteen, and was selected as a disciple by the Carefree Sect at the age of twenty.
Because Tan Tianqi was a disciple of the Carefree Sect, the Tan family was able to suppress the other two great families and become the leader of the three great families.
It had been three years since then, and he had finally returned.
