148: Recruiting major foundation-building families

The Shopkeeper Yunshui Pavilion also said, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured today; whoever dares to kill you, I will definitely protect you..."

Ning Yuan was shocked. He was just a Master Alchemist of Profound Rank Four; why were so many people helping him?

Ning Yuan said, "Fellow Daoists, why not withdraw? My Ning Family will definitely reward you handsomely."

The other Clan Chiefs laughed and said, "A handsome reward? What kind of handsome reward does your Ning Family have?"

"Your Ning Family Old Ancestor is only at the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. You want us to give you Face?"

"This brother, as long as you say the word, I can make the Ning Family not dare to say anything."

Elder Xuan made a gesture, and everyone stopped, watching how Tang Tian would answer.

Elder Xuan said, "You brat, say something. Should we kill the Ning Family or not?"

Tang Tian said, "If we kill the Ning Family, do their spoils of war belong to me?"

Elder Xuan laughed and said, "You brat, what are you thinking? That is wealth from the Foundation Establishment Realm; it definitely belongs to me."

What Elder Xuan admired most was this streak of greed in Tang Tian. If he weren't greedy, he wouldn't have done things like destroying the Yuanjia Gang and wiping out a series of bandits in the surrounding area.

Tang Tian asked, "Then after I join the Green Mountain Sect, will I have free space?"

Elder Xuan replied, "No, because the Green Mountain Sect Disciple Assembly has just passed, and we are in a period of closing the Sect. Only we Enforcement Elders are qualified to come out. You should just stay in the Green Mountain Sect and cultivate in seclusion for a year."

"Join the Enforcement Department, and I will look after you."

Tang Tian could not accept this, not to mention that he had to go watch his four Senior Brothers' Literary Examination, as well as the Martial Examination a year later.

Even if the Green Mountain Sect could protect Tang Tian, Tang Tian would not do so. After all, the Great Scholar gave him the Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword, and this was a kindness.

Furthermore, there was the Azure Wave Immortal Pool and Chi Daizi closer by...

Tang Tian said, "Can I really not go out?"

Tang Tian originally wanted to join a Sect, and the Green Mountain Sect was a good choice. After all, there were acquaintances in the Green Mountain Sect.

Elder Xuan said, "This was decided by the Sect Master; we cannot change it."

Tang Tian said, "Then forget it..."

Ning Yuan had already felt hopeless, but now he laughed wildly and said, "Haha! You don't even want the protection of the Green Mountain Sect? Today, with the Foundation Establishment Cultivators protecting you, I cannot kill you, but they cannot cover you forever. Once you leave the protection of Foundation Establishment, my Ning Family will definitely kill you..."

Ning Bian also looked at Tang Tian viciously. Tang Tian struck directly. It was another sword strike. Ning Bian used his weapon to block it, but he was heavily injured again, and his weapon was broken.

As for Ning Yuan, because he was blocked by a group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he could only watch this scene helplessly.

Ning Yuan roared, "Pavilion Master of Cloud Water Pavilion, I suggest you step aside now, otherwise my Ning Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivators are not to be trifled with!"

This was the arrogance of a Foundation Establishment Family.

Tang Tian shook his head and said, "I thought there was something different about how your Ning Family raises spirit pets; it turns out you are all just cowards."

Tang Tian asked again, "Can I really not leave the Green Mountain Sect?"

Elder Xuan said, "Really not, unless you are at the Foundation Establishment Realm, or like Zhen Qu, you are a descendant of a Green Mountain Sect Foundation Establishment Cultivator."

Tang Tian said, "Then forget it..."

Hearing this, the Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper, who had been staring at this side, had excited eyes, because he discovered that a strong aura was gathering in Tang Tian's right hand.

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said, "Could this be using some kind of combo technique?"

The Clan Chiefs of the other families around said, "Fellow Daoist, join our Family, and you will be absolutely free. Even when you go out, you will have Foundation Establishment Cultivators protecting your Dao."

Having a Foundation Establishment Cultivator take me out, is that still freedom?

Tang Tian smiled and said, "This is what your Ning Family forced upon me, but I do not regret it, because this Opportunity is what I need. People who have threatened me rarely have a good ending."

The surrounding Foundation Establishment Family Clan Chiefs did not understand. Could it be...

Tang Tian moved at this moment. An Ice Lotus, formed by the gathering of ten thousand strands of Evil Qi, appeared, and a terrifying aura spread...

It struck directly at Ning Yuan. This Evil Qi contained both Fire and Ice attributes.

It instantly engulfed Ning Yuan, who struggled to defend himself with everything he had.

He thought that at most, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would make a move; this Tang Tian at the Lianqi Seventh Level couldn't possibly kill him, so he didn't guard against Tang Tian at all.

Ning Yuan's grasshopper loyally protected its master and died.

Ning Yuan's eyes were splitting with rage as he said, "No! You actually dared to kill my spirit pet!"

Tang Tian said, "Your spirit pet is no good; it's as brittle as paper. Otherwise, what did you think I was waiting for? Waiting for someone to save me?"

The surrounding Foundation Establishment Family Clan Chiefs realized it upon hearing this; it turned out he had never intended to join any Family, so they also gave up the idea of recruiting Tang Tian.

However, they did not resent Tang Tian; it turned out Tang Tian had calculated their desperate thirst for talent.

One looked at the other and said with a bitter smile, "We were actually played by him."

Each of them felt that Tang Tian was even more extraordinary; after all, what they couldn't get made them feel even more intrigued.

They bid farewell to Tang Tian, "Fellow Daoist, we shall part ways here. If you are willing to join my Shen Family, the gates of my Shen Family will always be open to you!"

"And my Zhang Family. For the sake of this good karma, when you decide to join a Family, do not forget my Zhang Family..."

A terrifying aura of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator came from afar.

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator rode a lion and stepped through the air, saying, "Who dares to harm my Ning Family Elder!"

Seeing this scene, Ning Bian's eyes lit up, and he said, "Grandfather!"

This person was none other than the Ning Family Old Ancestor.

The Clan Chiefs of the families who were preparing to leave had their eyes light up; perhaps they really had a chance.

They stayed on the sidelines and did not leave. As long as Tang Tian said the word, they could protect Tang Tian.

The Shopkeeper Yunshui Pavilion said, "What kind of skill is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator attacking someone at the Lianqi Seventh Level?"

The terrifying aura of the Shopkeeper Yunshui Pavilion rose from thin air, blocking the aura of the Ning Family Old Ancestor.

The Ning Family Old Ancestor's lion roared at the Shopkeeper Yunshui Pavilion.

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper sighed softly and said, "Sigh, I have to make a move."

After all, he had given Tang Tian a Foundation Establishment Pill; he really couldn't let Tang Tian die.

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper stayed in the back, preparing to sneak attack the Ning Family Old Ancestor when the fight started...

The Ning Family Old Ancestor said to Tang Tian, "By what right do you dare to make a move against my Ning Family?"

He bypassed the aura of the Shopkeeper Yunshui Pavilion and went straight to grab Tang Tian.

Tang Tian released his Literary Qi to resist, and the rabbit-hair brush in his hand released power, allowing him to dodge.

The Ning Family Old Ancestor said, "This is actually the Cultivation Technique of Mr. Zhu, Zhu He! What is your relationship with him?"

Tang Tian released his Literary Qi, which was to tell them that he was the Disciple of Mr. Zhu, Zhu He. He didn't expect them to actually recognize it.

The surrounding Clan Chiefs also said, "So he is Mr. Zhu's Disciple; no wonder he is so strong."

"Zhu He was demoted from above, has seen the Holy Countenance, and survived the Holy Countenance's anger. He is the purest of the pure and a role model for our generation."

Hearing what was said around him, Tang Tian was shocked. Was Mr. Zhu that famous?

However, with the exposure of his identity as Mr. Zhu's Disciple, the City Lord's Mansion also began to loathe him...
