Chapter 68: Midnight Drumming Shakes the Heavens

  Mr. Tang, being an old hand in the world, also knew that Qin Hu's Beicheng gang would not dare to be reckless on Tai Sui's head, and at this juncture, it was even more impossible for him to say something fundamentally unbelievable and deceitful; if what he said was true, then there must be a follow-up!

  Qin Hu saw the old man seemed to have believed his words, and he couldn't help but sprout a few strands of hope. Even if he himself couldn't escape, at least his son would still have a chance to live on. He hastily continued: "The person who instructed me initially, I don't know their origin either. All I know is that this person has eyes and ears everywhere, even the layout of Old Master Hou's mansion, the location of hidden treasures, and even the entire plan including the timing of the move were all devised by this person. I think he should be someone from within the capital..." Qin Hu spoke up to this point when his eyes suddenly bulged out in anger, shooting out an extremely frightened gaze. In a state of panic, he loudly cried out: "Old Master Hou, save me!"

  At this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the air, and the yellow light surged. The enormous pressure from all directions came crashing down, almost without warning. The entire sky seemed to have several small suns bursting out of nowhere, as thick, earthy-yellow rays filled the entire sky!

  Di Xuan is strong!

  Three agile figures descended like lightning, forming a triangle and rushing towards Old Man Tang with swift momentum. Everyone was dressed in black and masked, revealing only a pair of bright yellow eyes.

  The Tang Family's top experts simultaneously exclaimed in surprise, and one by one they charged forward without regard for their own lives. Unfortunately, they were limited by their own abilities and could not stop the advancing footsteps of Xuanyuan High Hand!

  Tang Lao Yezi let out a cold laugh and shouted, "You dare, you rat!" As his white beard fluttered, his entire body emitted an even thicker and heavier yellowish-brown glow, which fiercely rose up to shield Qin Hu behind him.

  The other party's intention is very clear, it's obvious that they are here to silence him! But Qin Hu is now the only clue for Tang Lao Ye Zi to retrieve the Xuan Dan, how can he let them succeed? No matter what, he must stop them and will not allow them to harm Qin Hu's life.

  As long as Qin Hu is here, there's a chance to find the mastermind behind the scenes; finding the mastermind will lead to retrieving the Xuan Dan! Only by retrieving the Xuan Dan can we establish an unshakeable foundation for the Tang family for the next hundred years!

  Old Tang's eyes were all red.

  Boom! Tang Wanli came and went horizontally, with his own strength, he firmly blocked three top-notch masters of the same level, opening and closing, attacking but not defending, like a mad tiger!

  It's no big deal for these people to kill a mere Qin Hu, but if they were to kill Tang Lao here, that would be equivalent to going against the entire Tian Xiang Empire! This is not a consequence that just anyone can afford to bear! So Tang Lao has nothing to fear! For a time, he was even able to single-handedly hold off three same-level Di Xuan strongmen!

  Four people formed a circle, turning around and killing each other, the whole field was full of shadows, dust rising everywhere; The other two powerful men of the Tang family were afraid that their master would lose, so they quickly joined the battle group. These six great masters killed each other in pairs, and those below the Earth Xuan level couldn't even get involved.

  "Take Qin Hu away first!" Old Master Tang shouted loudly.

  Just then, a faint blue light flashed elegantly, and a white-clothed masked man suddenly appeared, floating over like a cloud in the water. In the darkness of night, his white clothes stood out particularly; his movements were elegant, as if strolling leisurely in a courtyard. But his speed was incredibly fast, and as he moved forward, the blue light flashed several times, and four miserable cries rang out simultaneously. The four masters of the North City Gang's hall suddenly had their brains burst open, and their bodies slowly fell to the ground!

  Heavenly Mystery First Stage! Heavenly Mystery Expert!

  Two hundred Tang family experts rushed forward, forming a dense defensive line. However, that person completely ignored them and flew in as if no one was there. His body floated up, and he flew over three feet, his blue light flashing. Qin Xiaobao, who was lying on the ground, only had time to hum a sound before his chest and abdomen were punched into mush by a single fist from afar!

  Tang Wanli let out a loud shout, turned around and rushed towards the man in white. The man's eyes behind his mask flashed with disdain, blue light surged forth, and a pair of palms clashed violently with Tang Wanli. Tang let out a muffled groan, his white beard trembling as he retreated repeatedly. The man in white floated away, spinning around, and all the skilled fighters from the Tang Manor were blocked by his powerful aura three feet in front of him, without even turning back, he struck down with a reverse palm.

  Behind him was Qin Hu!

  Qin Hu's eyes were wide with rage, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he let out a loud, hoarse cry: "Good... ruthless! Tang Lao Hou Ye, he is the one..." Just as he was saying this, he suddenly let out a mournful wail and collapsed to the ground with a soft thud. His entire body was broken, not a single bone intact.

  "Hahaha..." The man in white chuckled lightly and shouted, "Go!" Under the flash of blue light, they rushed out first. With a few loud noises, the people from the Tang residence retreated in disarray. In an instant, they reached the wall edge. A yellow and blue light flashed, and four people jumped onto the high wall at the same time. The three cultivators flipped over and fell off the wall, disappearing from view.

  The man in white was still standing on the wall, his white clothes fluttering, his demeanor majestic; from a distance, he cupped his hands and said in a clear and elegant voice: "Tang Old Master, today's offense is truly unavoidable, the mountains are high and the waters are long, let us meet again another day." With a loud laugh, he sprang up, and after a flash of blue light, the sky returned to darkness.

  Mr. Tang covered his chest, coughing heavily several times. He could feel that the white-clothed man's strength was indeed extraordinary, and he had shown mercy to himself. Otherwise, just with that one palm strike earlier, he would have been shaken into internal injury at the very least. Yet, despite this, Mr. Tang was still furious, his whole body trembling with rage!

  Looking at the miserable corpses of Qin Hu and his son, as well as the four hall masters with their brains splattered everywhere, Old Man Tang's hands and feet turned ice-cold.

  A Tianxuan expert like him should have appeared in his own family!

  It's really frustrating!

  After much difficulty, a crucial clue was finally found, but just as success was within reach, it was snatched away right in front of one's own eyes. The mouth was shut, and the two hundred or so people who were concentrated here, representing the strongest force of the entire Tang family, could only watch with their eyes wide open, and even endured the humiliation of being spared by the opponent's mercy!

  How can I bear it!

  Watching Mr. Tang panting heavily, everyone around him lowered their heads in shame.

  At this moment, a heavy, dull and majestic voice suddenly rose up from afar, resounding across the sky! Like waves crashing at the horizon, it rolled in, like thunder rumbling in the distance, slow but relentless, striking one note after another, carrying an unstoppable momentum that swept away all obstacles, slowly closing in!

  As the sound rose, the entire world between heaven and earth seemed to become desolate and barren in an instant! Even the dark night sky suddenly became exceptionally heavy!

  That abrupt sound did not slow down with the passage of time, but instead grew louder and louder. Later on, it was already echoing in all directions throughout the entire Tianxiang City, following the initial dull frequency, slowly catching up, and then merging into a massive torrent that resounded between heaven and earth!

  This is the war drum of the God of Thunder! This is also the prelude to slaughter!

  This earth-shattering drumbeat is also a fuse for large-scale war!

  The ball is round!

  After a decade of silence, the highest mobilization order from the top military in Tianxiang Kingdom suddenly sounded again on this quiet night without any warning!

  Once the drums of war have sounded, they will only bring forth a mountain of corpses and an ocean of blood! The clash of ten thousand horses and soldiers will result in countless deaths. It also means that there will be a group of brave warriors who will forever close their eyes, and among them, a small number of survivors will step on the mountain of corpses, tread through the sea of blood, and ascend to high positions!

  From all sides, countless soldiers woke up with a start from their dreams, jumped up quickly, and put on their clothes in a hurry. In the eyes of each person, a crazy bloodthirsty light shot out!

  "It's the General's gathering drum!" A high-ranking official of the Tang family exclaimed in shock, and everyone looked at each other in astonishment.
