CHAPTER 625 THREE DAYS
Everyone in the ancestral hall was shocked.
The head of the family was going to make a move personally?
Was this a joke?!
Given Tan Xing's position in the martial arts world, he just needed to say the word and the few hundred members of the Tan family would go forth and raze Donghai to the ground!
And with one word, he could also make everyone in the Northern High Kick Sect respond.
There was no need for Tan Xing to do this himself.
Someone who had used underhanded means to kill another person was not worthy for Tan Xing to make an appearance personally.
The representatives from the various bloodlines exchanged glances and wanted to stop Tan Xing, but he just waved his
hands.
"Don't say anymore, I have already decided. All of you may leave.”
"Got it."
The ancestral hall was silent in no time.
Tan Xing sat on his wooden chair. His hair was white and his beard was long like someone of high standing. The martial arts training clothes he was in didn't have a single crease on it.
"How long has it been since the main line of the Tan family walked in the ways of the martial arts world?" His cloudy eyes shone bright. "This world has fallen apart, but the spirit of the martial arts world has never dissipated."
As long as the Tan family had Tan Xing around, even those powerful families of the north didn't dare to touch anybody that belonged to the Tan family, much less someone who was at grandmaster level.
But that man from Donghai had not only killed Tan Feng, but he had used a dirty trick to do so. Otherwise, how else would he have done in four grandmasters at one shot?
He didn't care about the rest. But the Tan family was not going to let one of theirs die for nothing!
Tan Xing's words were soon brought to Donghai.
Any movement in Donghai would alert the powerful families of the north.
They didn't expect the Tan family to send word out.
This terrifying family that had descended from the martial arts world wanted the person controlling Donghai to personally visit the Tan family and apologize!
Who would dare to refuse?
That would offend the entire Tan family.
There were so many members of the Tan family connected to the powerful families of the north, and the Tan family itself was not a family to be trifled with.
Donghai wasn't just faced with one powerful family or just one grandmaster. They were facing an entire family of the martial arts world, and possibly the entire Northern High Kick Sect!
If Jiang Ning went to the northern mountains to apologize to the Tan family, then Donghai's reputation as a forbidden territory would fall apart by itself.
But if he didn't go, then Tan Xing was going to personally make a move.
Everyone was focused on how Donghai was going to respond.
Butler Zhao gathered all the information he had on the Tan family and felt that this Tan family was not simple at all.
He brought everything he had to Jiang Ning.
"They're really aggressive," said Butler Zhao. "You asked me to take note of all these veterans in the martial arts world, and I've checked the Tan family out in particular. They're really quite complicated."
"Unlike those powerful families in the north, the Tan family is a huge clan by themselves. They aren't really powerful in the north nor in the legal circles, but every generation produces a number of highly skilled fighters, and many powerful families want these fighters to work for them.”
Of course Jiang Ning knew about this.
Descendants of martial arts sects like the Tan family continued to keep the spirit of the martial arts world going and never wanted to become part of modern society and compete for power and money.
They also continued to teach their children to never live for power and money. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Most veterans in the martial arts world were like Ye Qingwu's father, Ye Shan, and lived an ordinary life. Under most circumstances, nobody would know that they were incredibly highly skilled fighters even if you met them face to face.
Those who worked for powerful families for the sake of power and money like Tan Feng were probably the odd ones out among the Tan family.
"I used dirty tricks to kill Tan Feng?"
Jiang Ning was amused.
He remembered that it only took one punch to kill Tan Feng.
Even though Tan Feng was a grandmaster, he had only just reached this level. There was also quite a large difference in level between grandmasters.
"The clan leader, Tan Xing, has said that Mr Jiang must go to the northern mountains within the next three days to apologize, otherwise he'll come and pay Donghai a visit."
This threat was more than sufficient.
Who was Tan Xing?
He was an extremely powerful and famous person in the entire Northern High Kick Sect!
If he came to Donghai, he might cause an earthquake in Donghai!
"According to my research, Tan Xing has never liked Tan Feng and wanted to cripple him many times. So I'm afraid he's trying to use this chance to recover the Tan family's reputation,” analyzed Butler Zhao.
"No problem," replied Jiang Ning casually. "If he wants to come, he can come."
"The scenery in Donghai isn't too bad. Or maybe he's getting on in age and wants to see the world outside before he dies."
