The New King's Mansion, asking the obvious

Early morning.

The sky gradually turned a pale white.

Qian Renxue, Bai Wanwan, and the others left the Imperial Palace and, led by a guard, headed towards the new King's Mansion.

Cross a bustling street.

The group stopped in front of a mansion, looking at the plaque above it that read "King Canglan's Mansion." Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan were the first to enter the mansion and survey its surroundings.

Guibao, Moxiong, and others followed closely behind.

The layout of this mansion is almost identical to the previous one, but its area is about twice as large.

After touring the entire mansion, Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan exchanged a glance, both showing satisfaction.

"We are very satisfied with this mansion."

"When you return, please convey our gratitude to His Your Majesty."

Qian Renxue looked at the guard with a faint smile on her lips.

"Yes."

"Your Highness, I will now return to the Imperial Palace to report to His Your Majesty."

The guard bowed respectfully and headed towards the Imperial Palace.

After the guards left, Bai Wanwan casually found a place to sit down, her azure eyes looking at Ling Yuan.

"Ling Yuan, go find Lor Diarra and tell him to come here after he's finished dealing with this matter. Also, bring Maid from the King's Mansion here and let them each do their assigned tasks."

Bai Wanwan gave the instructions softly.

"Yes, Young Lady."

Ling Yuan agreed and walked out of the mansion.

Leaving the mansion, Ling Yuan headed straight for the Strength Clan, her figure disappearing at the end of the street in a few flashes.

At the same time.

Message of the annihilation of the Strength Clan was spreading rapidly throughout Heaven Dou City.

Blue Tyrant Academy.

On the somewhat empty playground, Tailong ran towards the academy gate with bloodshot eyes, but just as he was about to run out of the gate, he was firmly held down by two hands.

"Let me go, I want to go home."

I want to go home and visit my family!

Tailong struggled fiercely, his scarlet eyes fixed on Tang San and Dai Mubai, who were holding him down.

"Tailong, calm down."

"I've heard about the annihilation of the Strength Clan, and I'm deeply saddened by it, but wouldn't you be throwing your life away if you went back now?"

Tang San pressed down hard on Tailong's shoulder.

"The mistress is right."

"I understand how you feel, Tailong, and I know you want to go back to your family, but now is not the time. Even if you want to go back to your family, you have to wait for a safe time."

Dai Mubai also offered words of advice.

"Waaah~"

Tailong seemed to have lost all his strength, collapsing to the ground and staring at Tang San with bloodshot eyes.

"Third Young Master, the Strength Clan is gone."

"Our Strength Clan is gone."

"Our Strength Clan was wiped out overnight."

Tailong kept pounding the ground with his fists, the immense force leaving a fist-sized dent in the earth.

Tears streamed from his eyes and dripped onto the ground.

A surge of overwhelming hatred erupted from his heart, and his scarlet eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"I know."

"Aren't you still here?"

"One day, I will join you in avenging the Strength Clan and making them pay for their crimes in blood."

Tang San patted Tailong on the shoulder, comforting Tailong while glancing towards the Strength Clan.

He's starting to regret it.

I regret not stopping Tai Tan back then.

If he had stopped the Tai Tan back then, the Strength Clan might not have been wiped out.

This will give him an extra advantage when he seeks revenge in the future.

But it's too late to say anything now. The Strength Clan, who had just declared their allegiance two months ago, was wiped out overnight.

A gentle breeze blows.

The wind stirred Tang San 'Tang San hair and the empty sleeve on his left arm, while a bitter feeling welled up in his heart.

Tailong, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly got up from the ground and grabbed Tang San's only remaining arm.

"Third Young Master, Third Young Master, I've got an idea!"

"I've figured out a way to avenge our family."

"My grandfather, Tai Tan, had a brother he risked his life for, the patriarch of the Defense Clan."

"The Defense Clan, like our Strength Clan, was once one of the Single Attribute Four Sects."

Tailong kept shaking Tang San's arm, as if he had grasped at the last straw, his voice full of urgency.

"The Defense Clan?"

"Single Attribute Four Sects?"

A look of confusion crossed Tang San's eyes, but a sharp glint quickly flashed within them.

Single Attribute Four Sects.

The Strength Clan is one of them. Will the other three clans be like the Strength Clan, bowing down and worshipping as soon as I reveal my Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul?

If that's the case, then I'll have reinforcements again.

"Tailong, don't rush."

"Tell me in detail about the Defense Clan and the other Single Attribute Four Sects."

Tang San's expression turned serious as he asked earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Tailong recounted everything he knew to Tang San without any hesitation.

As Tang San listened to Tailong's story, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

Through Tailong's explanation, Tang San learned that the other three clans of the Single Attribute Four Sects had very low favorability towards the Clear Sky Sect, but their attitude towards his father, Tang Hao, was still unknown.

Think about it carefully.

Tang San made a decision in his heart: he would go with Tailong to the Defense Clan to see their attitude. If the Defense Clan and the Strength Clan shared the same attitude, then he would ask the Defense Clan to act as a go-between and contact the other two clans.

On the other side.

King's Mansion

In the quiet Hall.

Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan sat in the main seats, listening quietly to Lor Diarra's report.

After listening to Lor Diarra's report, Bai Wanwan gently twirled her fingertips, a thoughtful expression on her face.

"For all those who perished in the battle, their families will receive five times the normal compensation. If their families face any difficulties, no matter what those difficulties may be, we will do our utmost to help them resolve them."

"Those injured in battle, please have the best Soul Master heal them."

"Everyone who participated in the battle will receive triple the reward."

Bai Wanwan gave the instructions softly.

"Yes, Young Lady."

After Lor Diarra agreed, he began to tell her another story.

"Young Lady, Tailong from the Strength Clan was at the Blue Tyrant Academy yesterday, not with the Strength Clan. Should I go and handle this?"

Bai Wanwan raised her eyes slightly, her gaze completely calm.

"Tailong?"

"You're asking a question you already know the answer to."

"Let Dugu Bo handle it."

"Remember to tell him to clean it up thoroughly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Wanwan waved gently to Lor Diarra, indicating that he could leave.

After bowing, Lor Diarra silently withdrew.

"Wanwan, you haven't rested all night, let's go back and get some rest too."

Qian Renxue leaned forward slightly, gazing quietly into Bai Wanwan's deep blue eyes.
