Chapter 696: Chapter 549: Win with Ingenuity, Unite with Orthodoxy+Chapter 550: Painting the Big Picture_2

If one perceives this gentleness as weakness, the next moment, they may very well witness the annihilation of the Tang Family.

"Cough cough, General Zhou’s divine power."

Struggling to rise, Tang Shimin saluted with one hand somberly, "I’ve heard of it many times, always finding seeing is believing. Today’s battle struck me like a thunderbolt, dispelling the self-conceit and pride of our Tang Family. It is indeed a blessing."

"Oh, truly befitting of the Tang Family Patriarch, deeply understanding the greater good. However, as our two sides are enemies, the hatred for the deaths of Tang Shiquan and Tang Yuanqing can’t be dismissed so lightly, can it?"

Zhou Ping’an looked at Tang Shimin, the Clan Leader, and realized the man actually harbored a calm and tranquil heart, which was quite perplexing.

The only explanation was that this man’s cultivation of mind was extraordinary.

He could perfectly control his own emotions.

To put it plainly, his Qi Cultivation Technique was extremely remarkable.

This is also the formidable aspect of the Tang Family’s "Literary Heart" cultivation technique.

Able to change stance at any moment, self-hypnotizing; without this, one wouldn’t be able to stand firm in this chaotic world and moreover, bring the family to greater prominence.

With a wry smile, Tang Shimin said: "My younger brother Shi Hong and nephew Yuanqing initiated the attack for personal gain. Their inferior skills led to their rightful deaths. In warfare where all tricks are fair, there’s no room for private grudges. General Zhou jests..."

"Fine, you say you can dismiss the blood feud for the sake of your brother and nephew so easily, but what about your grandson, Tang Baoyu? He had his teeth knocked out, his martial arts crippled, and henceforth can only be a wealthy idler who can neither shoulder burdens nor handle chores. Does he not harbor resentment?"

"My grandson Baoyu, spoiled by the family’s indulgence, has done many wrongs and tarnished the Tang Family’s reputation. Being stripped of his martial arts privileges is still a luxury as he can still carry on the family line. Even if General Zhou personally executed him, it would still be a blessing for him."

"Alright then, let’s execute him. Such a lust-clouded miscreant does indeed dishonor the Tang Family."

Zhou Ping’an clapped his hands and laughed lightly, a semblance of heroes sharing common insight on his face.

"Um..."

Tang Shimin’s expression slightly stiffened, and swallowing hard, he nodded: "Indeed, he deserves death. Once I take him home, I will personally execute him. Wherever General Zhou sets foot, the Tang Family will retreat a mile, never daring to oppose you again."

"Clan Leader Shimin, you speak too modestly. There’s no need for such retreat. We are all one family, and shouldn’t speak as if strangers. In the future, I will need the Tang Family to devote their best efforts, assist in conquering territories and managing lands for Mr. Zhou. The Tang Family’s talent is abundant, and the clan is renowned for its erudition — they can’t just idle at home..."

Zhou Ping’an shook his head, showing strong disapproval of Clan Leader Shimin’s words.

He continued earnestly, "Don’t consider Mr. Zhou’s current limit to three counties, and control over only half of Jiangzhou. Heroes are not judged by their origin. It remains to be seen who will have the last laugh... Mr. Zhou is honored by the support of the ancestors from the Cloud Water Sect to manage Jiangzhou. Should I make achievements, it’s not impossible to look forward to governing two provinces, three provinces, or even the whole Nine Provinces.

"If the Tang Family contributes now, when Mr. Zhou to ascends to the Nine Cauldrons, the Tang Family will also gain merit for helping the dragon soar. It’s not impossible to bestow Jiangzhou to the Tang Family’s descendants for management and governance. Why settle for just now, relying on Brahma Temple, scraping a prefecture or two from the mouths of those monks, always being hindered at every turn..."

Suddenly, Tang Shimin felt a throbbing in his tooth.

Although it was his arm that was broken.

He realized he had still underestimated the man before him.

The Tang Family’s ceding of Jinhe County was apparently insufficient.

The implied message was clear: to bind the entire Tang Family to his war chariot, sharing prosperity and hardship, expending every effort to conquer the world.

Such grand ambitions, such a perfectly depicted pie.

With the full support of the Cloud Water Sect and a 200,000-strong army behind him, his generals striving with fierce combat power — before the advent of the third Spirit Tide, he truly had the strength to take all of Jiangzhou.

Especially after suppressing the Tang Family, it would indeed be difficult for Brahma Temple to withstand.

Even if those domineering monks pulled reinforcements from their Heavenly Cave Blessed Land, it would be the same.

The combat power Zhou Ping’an previously exhibited indeed left Tang Shimin feeling powerless and desperate.

He simply couldn’t imagine.

At the level of True Martial, who could really contend with this man.

If nobody could resist Zhou Ping’an at the high-end combat level, then all strategies would be void.

Even if they could defeat him, Brahma Temple would be greatly weakened, perhaps never to recover.

It seemed the pie he painted was truly appetizing and sweet, and the future he envisioned might indeed be attainable.

But unfortunately for Tang Shimin, he knew that the great chaos of the world was only just beginning.

At this point, all the rebellious forces...

Anyone daring to show their face would merely be paving the way for the king, their gained territories and strength futile.

The Imperial Court hadn’t yet begun to exert its force in eliminating or placating rebels.

The real masters of various sects and temples were still biding their time.

Once the grand Spirit Tide rose and conditions became favorable.

He didn’t even think Zhou Ping’an could withstand even an initial strike of Divine Martial power.

And within those Heavenly Cave Blessed Lands.

Which sect, which World Family didn’t have three to five Divine Martial level ancestors?

What could he rely on to resist?

Was it the supposed support from the Cloud Water Sect’s ancestors?

"General Zhou may not know, Brahma Temple has deep roots and is not as weak as it seems. What’s displayed outwardly is less than a tenth of its strength."

The Third Elder, Tang Shitong, who had barely climbed out from a thirty-foot-deep pit, was coughing up blood while hastily taking a handful of Elixirs. Seeing his Clan Leader’s grim expression, he quickly interjected from the side.
