130: Chapter 130 Attacking the Tang Family
During the time Tang Jingyi's father was in charge of the Tang Family, it was inevitable that he would make enemies everywhere. Upon his death, the surrounding hungry wolves certainly wanted to take a bite.
Therefore, having Tang Jingyi marry the City Lord as a concubine was not a bad plan!
But in Tang Jingyi's view, this was an attempt to kick her out of the house to prevent her existence from destabilizing Tang Shao's position as the head of the Family; that was why they resorted to this low-handed tactic.
With her cultivation, she had no way to resist. So after hearing the news, she took advantage of Tang Shao's negligence and, with the assistance of some people loyal to her father, fled the Tang Family.
During the escape, Tang Shao personally led people in pursuit. Under the protection of those loyal to the death, Tang Jingyi was ultimately the only one to escape to Triangle Island, while everyone else was killed!
The main purpose of having Ning Yuan bring her back this time, besides seeking justice for herself, was to reclaim the Tang Family's ancestral Spirit Chef Legacy.
It is said that the Tang Family's ancestors were once Rank Six Spirit Chefs, and they were extremely glorious back then. However, as time passed, even the most prosperous families could not avoid decline. By now, no one in the Tang Family had become a Spirit Chef.
It was still Tang Jingyi's father who discovered her talent as a Spirit Chef and took out a portion of the Spirit Chef Legacy for her to try and Cultivate. As it turned out, Tang Jingyi did not disappoint and quickly became a Rank Three Spirit Chef.
But before her father could pass on the full Legacy to her, he passed away. Originally, Tang Jingyi could have obtained the Legacy by inheriting the position of Family head, but Tang Shao seized the position, and the Legacy fell into his hands.
"Alright, stop being so sentimental! Let's enter the city quickly!" Ning Yuan said somewhat impatiently as he watched her filled with emotion. He was still thinking about the promise she had made back then!
"It's not like I'm going to run away, look at how impatient you are!" Having spent half a year with him, Tang Jingyi already understood exactly what kind of person Ning Yuan was.
When she was on Triangle Island, she had been deceived by him. He said he had no lustful intentions toward her, but after getting to know him, she discovered that was just a lie, and she had been foolish enough to believe it.
However, Ning Yuan was indeed a man of principle, just as he said; he didn't lay a hand on her, though he couldn't help but tease her from time to time.
"Hee hee!"
Ning Yuan didn't reply to this, only laughing mischievously. Since they both understood the situation, Ning Yuan wouldn't put on an act anymore. As long as he helped her complete the task at hand, everything would fall into place.
"Let's go!"
After saying that, Tang Jingyi took the lead toward the city gate, and Ning Yuan quickly followed. After passing through the city gate, they headed straight for the Tang Family's location... Inside a secret room of the Tang Family.
A middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes sat on a large chair, stroking the beard on his chin while asking in a deep voice:
"Have you not found the person yet?"
Below, a man whose features were somewhat similar to Tang Jingyi's stood with a bowed back, saying with a bitter face:
"In reply to the City Lord, the person indeed hasn't been found yet!"
"Useless! So many people couldn't even keep an eye on one woman back then, truly useless!"
The City Lord of Xiangye suddenly shouted, his Aura erupting and pressing directly onto Tang Shao, making him immediately prostrate on the ground. Breaking out in a cold sweat, Tang Shao repeatedly begged for mercy:
"Please forgive me, City Lord!"
"Humph, if it weren't for the fact that you're still somewhat useful, I would have fed you to the dogs long ago!" After the City Lord of Xiangye snorted coldly, his anger subsided, and the pressure slowly receded.
"Thank you for sparing my life, City Lord!"
This allowed Tang Shao to breathe a great sigh of relief. His clothes were completely soaked through as he stood up tremblingly, feeling as if he had been granted a great pardon.
"Tang Shao, get out here!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came, startling both people in the secret room. Then, the City Lord of Xiangye looked at Tang Shao with a strange expression and chuckled:
"An enemy of yours?"
"Hehe, I've made a fool of myself before the City Lord! I'll go out and handle it right now." After laughing awkwardly, Tang Shao hurried out after obtaining the City Lord's consent.
After Tang Shao turned to leave, his face immediately darkened, and his gaze became terrifyingly frightening as he said:
"I'd like to see which reckless person dares to come and seek death at this time!"
The City Lord of Xiangye was at the Tang Family; even if Tang Shao couldn't solve it, wouldn't the City Lord be there?
So in their view, the newcomer was just looking for death, the type who didn't check the omens before leaving the house!
Not long after, Tang Shao arrived in front of the manor's main hall and saw a shocking scene.
On the open ground ahead, people were lying everywhere, clutching their heads and wailing in pain, rolling around on the ground. The scene was completely out of control.
"Are you Tang Shao?"
Just then, a cold shout came. Tang Shao immediately looked up toward the source of the voice, but upon seeing the person, he froze on the spot with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"Hmm? Is your uncle an idiot? Why does he seem so dazed!" Tang Shao's behavior also made Ning Yuan slightly confused, as he quietly asked Tang Jingyi beside him.
"You're the idiot!" Tang Jingyi gave him a cross look. Although she also felt her uncle's behavior was quite strange, she didn't think much of it:
"Uncle, I've come back to claim what belongs to me!"
Tang Jingyi's words snapped Tang Shao out of his daze, and he immediately showed a look of wild joy, laughing loudly:
"Hahaha, Tang Jingyi, I didn't expect to see you again! Truly, heaven is helping me!"
While the three were talking, a large number of Tang Family members swarmed out from the surroundings, surrounding Ning Yuan and Tang Jingyi. Every one of them looked at the two with hostility, not showing the slightest bit of the respect they should have for their Young Miss.
It seemed that in these twenty years, the Tang Family had been completely brought under Tang Shao's control. To them, Tang Jingyi was more like an outsider.
"Everyone, attack! We absolutely cannot let Tang Jingyi escape again!" Tang Shao no longer cared why Tang Jingyi had returned to the Tang Family; he would capture her first.
As for Ning Yuan standing next to her, he only had a Nascent Soul cultivation. The Tang Family had more than one Nascent Soul; why should they fear him alone?
As soon as the words fell, the Tang Family members naturally did not hesitate, rushing toward Ning Yuan and Tang Jingyi with shouts of killing.
"Kill them all?" Ning Yuan asked quietly, signaling with his eyes toward the Tang Family members who had already begun to rush over.
Tang Jingyi's brows furrowed slightly as she looked at the Tang Family members, then they smoothed out as she replied calmly:
"Just subdue them!"
"Understood!" Ning Yuan said cheerfully. He didn't take these people seriously at all; his eyes narrowed as a gray light flashed through them.
"Bang!"
A Tang Family member who rushed in front of Ning Yuan immediately stopped in his tracks and then fell straight down, his eyes turned white, clearly having lost consciousness.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
It didn't stop there; all the Tang Family members who attempted to attack also did the same, rolling their eyes and falling to the ground unconscious, producing a series of thuds.
This was still the result of Ning Yuan holding back; otherwise, not a single person would be left alive, and it wouldn't be as simple as losing consciousness.
Tang Shao and those who hadn't made a move yet all showed expressions of extreme horror, looking at Ning Yuan as if they were looking at a monster!
"With just a single glance, so many people fell at once. If someone with such an ability isn't a monster, then what is?"
