Tai Clan, Tai Sect, or Tai Wudi?!

Upon hearing Tai Jiuling's question, the group exchanged glances, then shook their heads and said...

"I didn't pay special attention to it. It should be out by now."

"Should?"

Tai Jiuling frowned and said.

"This is just something I'll keep in mind casually; it shouldn't be a problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the people said...

"This matter is indeed not troublesome. However, our previous purpose was not to target the Jiang Clan; on the contrary, it was precisely because we targeted the Jiang Clan that we were almost dragged into a dangerous situation."

Tai Jiuling glanced at the junior who had spoken and said.

"But you should know very well that this matter is probably inextricably linked to this Jiang Clan."

Before the other person could respond, another middle-aged man nearby spoke up to remind him.

"Tai Jiuling, you've really gotten yourself involved in this."

As soon as he finished speaking, many people present nodded in agreement.

They had heard about what Tai Jiuling had been up to lately.

For them, a power like the Jiang Clan, once it decides to take action, will naturally align itself with the entire Tai Clan and contribute its strength.

But if they don't intervene, then this matter naturally doesn't fall under their purview.

Tai Jiuling, on the other hand, put all his energy into such a trivial matter, which was quite exhausting.

Faced with everyone's reaction, Tai Jiuling's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant, but he did not respond to anything, instead continuing to look at the younger generation who had come out.

"What does that so-called Venerable Baimei look like?"

One of the four raised his hand, and then Li Baimei's image appeared before everyone's eyes.

Tai Jiuling looked at Li Baimei's appearance and immediately spoke.

"It's him, it's definitely him!"

"Back then, in that Jiang Clan's secret realm, the only person the Jiang Clan chose to take with them was this person."

"Not long ago, they also got in touch with the Huaxia Sect through this person and obtained the Huaxia Sect's small wooden plaque."

"Don't you see any problem now?"

Are you sure?

A voice rang out, looking at Tai Jiuling.

Tai Jiuling snorted coldly and retorted with a question.

"You all know what kind of quirks Yang Kaizhi has. Of all the people who went to see him before, how many of them were ever seen again?"

"If he really only went there to serve Yang Kaizhi, how could he have gotten the chance to go to the World in the Painting?"

"While this opportunity may not be as crucial to us as it is to those smaller powers, it's not something a servant can easily obtain."

Upon hearing the word "servant," many people wore thoughtful expressions.

One of them said.

"So you mean, this Power of Time was discovered by the Jiang Clan?"

Upon hearing this, many people present showed expressions of doubt.

The idea that something like the Power of Time could be linked to a small force like the Jiang Clan is truly hard to believe.

But on second thought, it seemed possible.

If their kind of power were to obtain the power of Power of Time, although they would have to weigh whether they could retain it, they would certainly still try to make it a vital force supporting the future development of their Lineage.

However, if it were a small power like the Jiang Clan, there would be no such concern. Handing it over to a powerful force like the Huaxia Sect in exchange for protection would be quite reasonable.

"But even so, what practical impact does this have on us?"

Someone said this, and their gaze turned to Tai Jiuling.

The expressions of everyone present shifted slightly.

No one called out names, but everyone had an answer in their hearts.

The biggest impact, at present, is probably only on resolving the conflict between Tai Jiuling and the Jiang Clan.

Tai Jiuling clearly realized this as well, and immediately said so.

"A man who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present. The Huaxia Sect has now gained such Power of Time. Once it makes good use of it, we, with our current strength, will face unimaginable pressure."

No sooner had he finished speaking than another person spoke up.

"Hasn't the Huaxia Sect been constantly growing stronger? What you just said, are you implying that we, the Tai Clan, should clash with the Huaxia Sect?"

Tai Jiuling glanced at the other person with disdain and offered a reminder.

"When you're forced to hand over the extraordinary resources you've found, won't you keep a portion for yourself?"

The question is, can you even get it?

A voice followed immediately, still directed at that person.

Tai Jiuling's expression immediately turned very displeased, and he snorted coldly.

"Is this the only time you can find fault, in things like this?"

Then another voice rang out, saying...

"Alright, you two stop arguing. What you both say makes sense, but this is a matter beyond the control of our Tai Clan. Even if we could obtain the Power of Time, we couldn't hold onto it."

After a pause, the man looked at Tai Jiuling and said.

"Jiuling, let's put your matter with the Jiang Clan aside for now. We can't afford to create any more complications."

Tai Jiuling seemed to have no objection to this, and simply nodded.

Then the topic shifted to another matter.

"The Jiang Clan was originally just an unknown small power, but recently they have made quite a few moves and achieved considerable results."

"Moreover, what attracted me to that previous secret realm was precisely that uncontrollable aura of power. Now that they can even control the Power of Time, then that uncontrollable aura of power they displayed before..."

After a pause, Tai Jiuling slowly said:

"In that case, that power probably can no longer be described as uncontrollable."

This time, the person who had been arguing with Tai Jiuling before surprisingly didn't offer any rebuttals.

Like everyone else, he had a thoughtful expression on his face.

That uncontrollable force is different from the Power of Time.

The Power of Time was something their Tai Clan never pursued from the beginning.

Whether or not they could obtain it, and what kind of help it would bring, were things they hadn't actually considered.

But uncontrollable forces are different.

Over the years, they have put a lot of effort and thought into this.

Furthermore, in the glorious history of the Tai Clan, there were indeed individuals who received benefits from this uncontrollable force.

It's just a pity that such a talented person was killed by fate.

That ancestor died young and never bore any offspring for the Lineage.

However, the insights and understandings about uncontrollable forces left behind by that ancestor for the Lineage were extremely detailed.

Now, all they need is to find another opportunity, and it could very well bring about a qualitative leap for their Tai Clan.

If everyone could achieve that kind of extraordinary growth, like that ancestor...

At that time, their power was such that people called them the Tai Clan, the Tai Sect, or something else entirely.

Too invincible?!
