Don't Tell My Father

"This..." Tang Tiansong frowned: Ever since Tang Miao became a trainee Buddhist Cultivation at Emptiness and Form Temple in Ji Household Village, he has always been acting strangely, as if he were possessed by a demon.

"The descendants of the Tang Household must absolutely not become Buddhist Cultivation," Tang Tiansong thought to himself...

"Everyone, please be quiet." Ye Hailiang, the head of the Ye Household, who was in his fifties, raised his wine glass.

Today is the day when the Ye Household of Iron Bridge Village and the Tang Household of Dangwu Village celebrate their marriage.

My Ye Household included a powerful cultivator at the Qi Refining Stage.

Due to natural disasters and man-made calamities, more than a hundred years ago, my Ye Household came from the Northern Province lands to the eastern foot of Prosperous Dragon Lake in the Central Province.

Who would have thought that the Gazing Dragon Lake, spanning tens of thousands of miles, and its surroundings are all places lacking in Spiritual Qi, which is why my Ye Household has not produced any cultivators in the past hundred years.

Fortunately, I, Ye Hailiang, know how to do business, and now the Ye Household is quite wealthy.

It is a rare occurrence in a century for the Tang Household of Dangwu Village to produce several cultivators.

The marriage between my Ye Household and the Tang Household is a divinely ordained alliance of strength. Tiansong, let us drink this cup together and offer our blessings to the newlyweds.

Although Tang Tiansong was somewhat reluctant, he still took a sip of the tea in his cup.

Ye Hailiang finished his drink and his face darkened. "Tang Tiansong, today is a joyous occasion."

I, an old man, respectfully raise my cup, yet you only drink tea. What does this mean? Do you look down on the Ye Household?!

Was Ye Hailiang drunk? How dare he question a Qi Refining Stage cultivator like me?

The Ye Household doesn't have a single cultivator; they only have three guest cultivators at the Meridian Opening Second Layer and the Governing Vessel Passage Realm stage: the one with the mustache, the one with the goatee, and the one with the blue forehead.

However, for the sake of Tang Miao's face and his second uncle's face, Tang Tiansong still held back.

"Master Ye Household, if I, Tang Tiansong, looked down on the Ye Household, I wouldn't have come today."

As I just mentioned, I haven't been drinking alcohol lately due to my spiritual practice. Since Ye Household is already drunk, I won't bother him any longer.

"Farewell." Tang Tiansong stood up, cupped his hands in a salute, and prepared to leave.

"Hmph, Tang Tiansong, five years ago, you rudely broke off the engagement. Today, you rudely left the banquet again."

You really don't respect me, Ye Hailiang, at all. You're not leaving here today!

"What a joke! I want to leave, let's see who can stop me!" Tang Tiansong sneered, but suddenly paused: the three cultivators from the Ye Household today, who were clearly at the Meridian Opening Second Layer, have now obviously all reached the Qi Refinement Second Layer.

Seeing Tang Tiansong's changing expression, Ye Hailiang smiled sinisterly, "Tang Tiansong, you've noticed something's wrong, haven't you?"

A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years. I, Ye Hailiang, have waited five years for this day.

Your humble Tang Household, a peasant family that digs up rat droppings, dare to look down on my Ye Household?!

Heh, today is the day your Tang Household dies. You don't know there's a cultivator's elixir called the [Void Spirit Pill], do you? Taking the [Void Spirit Pill] allows you to temporarily conceal your cultivation level.

These three guest elders I invited from the Northern Province are all at the Qi Refining Second Layer.

So, what do you think? I, Ye Hailiang, still think highly of you, don't I?

"Patriarch Ye Household, stop wasting your breath on him."

"We should kill them as soon as possible. We still need to go to Dangwu Village to wipe out the entire Tang Household later." A male cultivator with a hoarse voice and wearing a mask walked out from behind the screen.

Qi Refining First Layer!

Three are at the Qi Refinement Second Layer, and one Qi Refining First Layer.

My Tang Household is indeed facing a catastrophic disaster today!

Bass!

Tang Miao drew his sword, glaring at Ye Hailiang. "Patriarch Ye Household, you once built bridges and roads, benefiting the people. Don't let a moment of weakness ruin your legacy!"

"Hmph, Meridian Opening Sixth Layer cultivator dares to draw his sword!" The masked man unleashed a golden light from his right hand.

When!

Puff!

The masked male cultivator's golden light was deflected by another Sword Qi, which struck a diner, instantly blasting the diner's head off.

"Ah!"

Many diners were so stunned by the golden light that they fainted.

Those diners who hadn't fainted immediately scattered, covering their heads and fleeing.

Tang Tiansong frowned slightly: The person who swatted away the golden light and saved Tang Miao was actually the male cultivator with the mustache opposite them.

"Tang Miao is on the list of Buddhist Cultivation from Northern Province. The Buddhist Cultivation from Northern Province are very powerful. Our sect has already warned us that we should not offend Buddhist Cultivation unless absolutely necessary." The man with the mustache curled his lip.

Tang Miao has been added to the list of disciples of the Northern Province Buddhist Cultivation Buddhist Cultivation. Does this Northern Province intend to protect Tang Miao, or is he planning to kill Tang Miao himself?

Never mind him, let as many as they can escape.

"Tang Miao, you go first!" Tang Tiansong said loudly, drawing his sword. Seeing Tang Miao hesitate, he smiled helplessly, "Go and remind Tianlan and the others, and tell them to take good care of my mother and the Tang Lineage..."

Take good care of Yu Wei...

I have a letter in my study, in the Mystic Spoon Pavilion of my home, addressed to Tiandong.

He instructed Tiandong and the others that, two generations later, if they had the strength, they should have Tiandong and Tianya's grandchildren avenge him!

If you lack the strength, then forget my grudge.

The cause of my death must never be told to my uncle, my father...

Remember, remember, do not act impulsively!

Outnumbered and outgunned, we had no ability to resist.

The fact that the other side sent out four Qi Refinement cultivators at once means they must be a powerful Aristocratic Clan or sect specializing in cultivation.

Within two generations, the Tang Household had no power to take revenge.

What Tang Tiansong just said was clearly his dying words.

Tang Miao gritted her teeth, turned around angrily, and ran away.

Call out!

"If you won't let me kill you, can't I at least injure you?" The masked male cultivator unleashed another beam of golden light.

"Tang Miao, be careful!" Tang Tiansong warned, but dared not turn around.

Bang!

Thump!

Tang Miao managed to parry with his sword despite having a protective shield.

However, how could Tang Miao, Meridian Opening Sixth Layer, withstand the attack of Qi Refining First Layer cultivator?

The golden light shattered the protective shield, destroyed the sword, and struck Tang Miao.

It seemed the masked man hadn't gone all out, and with the protective shield and the sword's deflection, the golden light that struck Tang Miao only sent him flying more than ten feet.

"I'm fine, Tiansong. Hang in there!" Tang Miao said, and ran away with all his might.

"Fellow Daoist Dao, the three of us have been painstakingly infiltrating the Ye Household for three years."

"This great fortuitous opportunity in Gazing Dragon Lake will land near the Tang Household of Dangwu Yuan, right?" The man with the mustache snorted lightly.

"That's right. My family is weak, but we've been in Gazing Dragon Lake for hundreds of years."

The rise of the Chu Household in Prosperous Dragon Lake back then was also due to this great fortuitous opportunity.

This great fortuitous opportunity will either land near the Tang Household in Dangwu Mountain or in Wang...

"Near the Shen Household's residence on the southern slope of Gazing Dragon Lake," the masked male cultivator said decisively.

"Senior brother, stop dawdling."

The Shen Household will be handled by other members of the sect; the three of us will only be responsible for the Tang Household.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Tang Household currently only has Tang Tiansong, who is at the Qi Refining First Layer, and that no other members of the Tang Household are disciples of the Azure Origin Sect...

"We haven't formed a marriage alliance with any of the cultivation Aristocratic Clan in this Central Lands. We still need to get rid of the Tang Household Tang Household as soon as possible, to avoid causing unnecessary trouble later." The man with the goatee looked impatient.

Hehe, it's all for the great fortuitous opportunity that Gazing Dragon Lake is about to present.

Tang Tiansong gave a wry smile: Cui Xueyong is right, my Tang Household is guilty of possessing a treasure.

"Tang Tiansong, the path of cultivation is long and arduous. We are all cultivators, and your cultivation has reached the Qi Refinement, which is indeed not easy." The cultivator with the mustache had an expression of mutual respect. "We each serve our own masters, so let's not blame each other."

We are three at the Qi Refining Second Layer and one at the Qi Refining First Layer; you have only just entered the Qi Refining First Layer.

Moreover, the three of us are Qi Refining Stage weapons, while you are just an ordinary spirit sword at the Meridian Opening Stage.

Tang Tiansong, draw your sword and commit suicide. We'll give you the dignity a cultivator should have.

"Hahaha, the path my father taught me Tang Tiansong, is: Show your sword!"

"No matter how powerful the enemy, we have no choice but to draw our swords and attack!" Tang Tiansong roared to the sky, brandished his spirit sword, and destroyed two talismans in his pocket with his left hand...
