-Has the impeachment proposal been passed?” Tang Luo was still quite concerned about the outcome.
The elder shook his head, “It’s hard to say.”
Tang Luo didn’t quite understand. To him, either the proposal had passed or it hadn’t. He wasn’t sure
what the elder meant by “it’s hard to say.
“Tang Cunfu himself had secured one hundred votes from the separate branches of the clan, as well as
ten votes from Elder Tang Gaomin, even the votes from the legal head were in favor,” Tang Hongtao
was still very perplexed.
“When all the votes were added up, the number of votes for the impeachment
of Tang Zhi exceeded two hundred.”
“It seems Tang Cunfu did a good job then,” Tang Luo commented, not believing that so many people
had objections to Tang Zhi, the clan head. The large amount of votes Tang Cunfu garnered clearly
indicated a lot of political exchange.
“But it’s no use.”
“Didn’t it already pass the two hundred votes threshold?
“The Sect Head and the head of the mountain alliance initiated wartime regulations,” the Elder said, a
look of disbelief on his face. Tang Kuan, known for his neutrality, and Tang Sen, who was notably
uninterested in clan affairs, had unexpectedly sided with Tang Zhi during this power struggle.
It was baffling enough that Tang Kuan had taken a side, but Tang Sen’s allegiance was even more
puzzling.
It was well known that Tang Zhi had supported his younger brother, Tang Zuo, in establishing a new
branch, creating a rift with the Martial Hall. How could the First Head of the Martial Hall not notice this?
It was hard to believe that he could still support Tang Zhi.
During the implementation of wartime regulations, the Martial Hall and the judicial institutions must
obey the clan head; it’s the moment when the clan head has the most concentrated power.
And now, with Xiling as peaceful as ever and nearing the end of the year, the activation of these war
regulations seemed unusual, as if buying time for Tang Zhi, preventing him from stepping down
immediately.
Even if Tang Cunfu was vehemently against it, with the war regulations in effect, he had no choice but
to set aside all his plans and be on standby.
Tang Luo, too, was deeply puzzled upon hearing this. He, who claimed to know Tang Sen very well,
could not imagine that his stoic and taciturn father would initiate the wartime regulations for Tang Zhi.
These specialized authorities resided solely with the First Head of the Martial Hall and the Sect Head of
the mountain alliance, and were typically triggered when the Wind Media Department sensed
impending war. Hence, the whole clan would be on standby preparing in advance.
Ever since the emergence of the Wancheng Treasure Ship, the military strength of the Tang and Mi
clans had been growing on an annual basis. The need to mobilize the entire clan for war preparations
had considerably reduced. This tradition, however, remained.
This meant that the colossal Tang Clan would soon start preparations for war. Consequently, the Mi
Clan, who were caught off guard by the sudden preparations, would also enter a state of readiness.
Could it be that a war was imminent between the Tang and Mi clans this year?
Tang Luo brushed off this fleeting thought as he found it completely illogical. If they had seized the
opportunity while Mi Clan’s Wancheng Treasure Ship was away and waged a war regardless, but now
it was clear that the two clans were once again balanced. If a war ensued, mutual destruction would be
the best-case scenario.
If the total combat power of Xiling were divided into twelve parts, then the Tang Clan possessed four
parts, Mi Clan also four parts, and the remaining parts were divided among the minor clans of Xiling.
The small clans of Xiling had long harbored jealousy towards the Tang and Mi clans. However, their
inferior strength had kept them silent. If the Tang and Mi clans were to go to war, these clans would
surely scatter and form an alliance to attack the victorious side once the dust settled.
Therefore, if the two clans were planning a war, they must first purify the small clans of Xiling, a fact
that everyone understood.
But now, Xiling was in a state of universal peace, with smaller clans merrily enjoying themselves. There
were no signs of an imminent purification, suggesting that this war was unlikely to take place.
Therefore, this so-called wartime regulation might be unrelated to actual combat. Perhaps Tang Zhi had
some important matters to attend to, and was temporarily unable to relinquish his position as clan
head.
Tang Luo could only think of it this way. Although he had only met Tang Zhi a few times, in his heart,
the clan head was an enigmatic figure.
Since Tang Zhi took office, the Tang Clan’s annual profits have steadily increased, and its strength has
risen steadily.
Yet, no one could pinpoint exactly what outstanding things Tang Zhi had done -it seemed as though
these growths naturally formed on their own.
As a result, people often commented, “With such an easy job as the clan head, I could do it too.”
But Tang Luo didn’t agree. Take, for example, Tang Zuo, who was widely known for his arrogance and
excelled in both literature and martial arts.
Why, even with his full effort, did he only aspire to be the First Head of the Martial Hall and not care
about the position of clan head? Was it because of fraternal love?
Why did the position of clan head fall to Tang Zhi-who was seemingly unremarkable-during the time of
the last two exceptional talents in the Tang Clan? Was the Elder Council all muddled?
Tang Luo didn’t believe in such notions. The closer one is to the center of clan power, the more one
realizes that high positions aren’t for the incompetent.
He wouldn’t accept the idea of a group of elites choosing a mediocre man to be their clan head.
So Tang Zhi must have been chosen as the clan head of the Tang Clan because of his abilities and
tactics. However, the fact that such a person didn’t have much of a reputation was worth pondering.
As the ancient saying goes: ‘The highest excellence is not to let people know of your existence. The
next, to be loved and praised. The next, to be feared. The last, to be despised.’
Whether Tang Zhi was an extremely mediocre clan head or a clever clan head whose tactics were too
profound to be seen, based on the steady growth of the Tang Clan over the years, Tang Luo leaned
more towards the latter.
He was also present at the emergency council meeting in April. The promise Tang Zhi made over the
North City land always seemed like a lure to collect grain, just so the separatist families could focus on
grain collection.
But what was his real intention?
Putting all the conjectures aside, Tang Luo refocused his thoughts on himself.
No matter if Tang Zhi remained the clan head or not,
It had little to do with him. In this world of martial arts, only the power in his hands was the force he
could control.
To put it bluntly, even if the clan head was a pig, once he grew up, he could still help the Tang Clan
dominate Xiling. It would just be a matter of a few years earlier or later.
So, the current priority was to resolve the issues related to his cultivation. Sacred-level martial arts
techniques, even if merely assimilated, were a daunting task. The number of blends seemed to have
peaked at three. Once he tried to merge with a same-property, same-origin spiritual force, it would lead
to a complete collapse.
In addition to the challenges faced by the fusion of the martial arts technique, Tang Luo still had
unresolved issues with the Concealment Technique.
His thoughts were correct: the star core could transmit spiritual energy and store spiritual energy. But
there was a major problem.
Once he attempted to manipulate the spiritual energy, the primary star core would continuously absorb
the spiritual energy that had already been stored in the star core. Meaning, his Concealment Technique
was both a success and a failure simultaneously.
The Mortal Realm’s star core could store 999 points of spiritual power and the Transcendence Realm
star core could hold 9,999 points. Even if Tang Luo stored all of his spiritual power in the star cores,novelbin
there would still be more than enough room.
To anyone attempting to sense aura, the spiritual energy surrounding the main star core could only be
felt. If all spiritual energy were stored in the star cores, Tang Luo could even complete the
transformation and become an ordinary human again.
But all of this was centered around the idea that he could not act. As soon as he channeled his spiritual
energy, the main star core would start absorbing all of it again, taking back all the spiritual energy within
a few breaths.
Unless Tang Luo could defeat his enemies in one move, his spiritual realm would be revealed if a battle
broke out.
improvements had yet to be made. The young man still needed to work hard..
