CHAPTER 634 HE'S IN DONGHAI!
The rest of the night went by quietly.
The grandmasters from the Tan family had gone to Donghai, but there was no news after that.
All those watching the Tan family and Donghai had waited an entire night for news, but nothing came back to them.
It was as if Tan Xing had brought the other eight for a walk and returned to the northern mountains without confronting anybody in Donghai at all.
This really stunned the powerful families in the north.
They couldn't believe it.
How could this be?
The Tan family had gone out with great fanfare. Nine grandmasters had moved out together, so it was like they had thrown a huge bomb into the lake, but it didn't even cause a ripple.
It had crashed into the lake hard, but floated up and was taken out of the water again.
"I won't see anyone!" Tan Xing was practically yelling. "I don't want to see anybody!"
"Whoever tries to ask about Donghai will not get any response from the Tan family!"
He didn't expect so many people to come looking for news first thing the next morning. Some came formally and some came in secret, but they all wanted to know about Donghai and they wanted to know what happened between the Tan family and Donghai.
But were they really concerned about the Tan family?
Bullshit!
Tan Xing was beginning to really believe what Jiang Ning said.
The Tan family was probably already rotten to the core!
Out of the eight bloodlines, how many were really thinking about the reputation of the Tan family?
Possibly none!
He was so furious.
"News is circulating out there that the Tan family is afraid of Donghai and can't even get justice for ourselves!"
"Master Tan, let us go! We don't care if we live or die, but we must not let others look down on the Tan family!"
"We want to fight!"
Representatives from all eight bloodlines were shouting loudly outside the ancestral hall.
"Go home NOW! Whoever dares to say another word will be thrown out of this family!" Tan Xing didn't mince his words.
His expression had darkened and his angry shouts scared everyone into leaving.
But the people coming to get news never stopped. The powerful families of the north kept trying to use all sorts of channels to get news.
"What an irony," Tan Xing scoffed coldly. "So what if I've been embarrassed? If I let my clansmen go to Donghai, none of them will come back alive!"
Jiang Ning was powerful, and the wolves had a rare formation technique that was formidable. But just from the way those ordinary folks protected Jiang Ning alone, they could forget about even setting foot into Donghai!
The thing that worried him more now was the problem within the Tan family.
Jiang Ning was right. The problem in the Tan family wasn't just one Tan Feng, but the entire Tan family. There were too many people who had been secretly corrupted.
If this went on, the situation would only get worse.
He had to cut off all these rotten pieces of flesh.
Tan Xing's gaze became colder and colder and his eyes looked determined now. "I'm so old and I've already suffered my fair share of embarrassment, so what else am I afraid of? If the Tan family meets its downfall in my hands, then I'll be the greatest sinner of the Tan family!
HUMPH!”
He immediately sent an order to make sure none of the Tan family members were allowed to step out of the house.
He knew there were definitely more people who were in close contact with those powerful families of the north. He was going to watch and see who else was rotten in the Tan family!
There was no movement from Donghai, and the Tan family didn't respond at all.
All the people watching both sides were thoroughly confused.
Since it was impossible to get any news from Donghai, they could only try to get news from the Tan family.
Meanwhile.
A few men in black were kneeling on one knee behind the blinds. They reported everything about the Tan family heading for Donghai in detail.
"Oh? So nine grandmasters went to Donghai but didn't even make a splash?" The man behind the blinds laughed faintly. "How very strange.”
"You didn't miss out anything?”
"No. The men from the Tan family have all returned to the northern mountain and we can't get any information from them at all. My Lord, should we continue to sound him out?"
The person controlling Donghai was so high profile before this, but this time he didn't reveal himself at all. It was as if he knew that someone was using the Tan family to sound him out.
"Continue to sound him out," replied the
man behind the blinds. "Use whatever means necessary to dig out that fellow."
"Yes, My Lord!" Belonging to .
The figures disappeared in a flash.
The north was already in turmoil as the reputation of Donghai as a forbidden territory was public knowledge now.
And the name 'Jiang Ning' started to ring in many people's ears.
"Jiang Ning? You said the man who's been the talk of the town lately is called Jiang Ning?” Long Ling'er looked at her own secretary and her face was filled with happiness. "He's in Donghai!”
