“Whoa!” Old Xu was taken aback, exclaiming, “This guy is very sly.”

Tang Luo glanced at Gong Zheng and Li Shaoyuan, and said casually, “Of course, he’s sly. That’s his only way to bring his family back.”

With no food or water for a whole day, Gong Zheng’s lips were parched and cracked. But his spirit was high, because he had successfully hidden Li Shaoyuan for a day without being discovered.

“Mr. Tang.” Gong Zheng, dragging Li Shaoyuan, saluted Tang Luo and Old Xu.

Seeing Li Shaoyuan, Mi Hou was enthralled again. Seeing his prime minister covered in mud and forcibly gagged, he bellowed, “How dare you treat my minister like this, Gong Zheng! You’re finished! I will kill your entire family and make you wish you were dead!”

Gong Zheng’s eyes flashed at those words, he turned toward Mi Hou, his murderous intent surging. His aura of transcendent peak exploded, sending shudders through Li Shaoyuan.

Having grown up in a sheltered environment, Mi Hou had never experienced such murderous intent. His voice gradually quieted as he trembled, looking into Gong Zheng’s eyes.

Meanwhile, Mi Shen was angry as he watched Gong Zheng actually try to suppress Mi Hou’s aura with his own. Immediately an aura of his own, no less fierce than Gong Zheng’s, broke out, rivaling him.

“Are you guys here to exchange or fight cockfights?” Tang Luo picked at his ear casually and asked.

There was a murderous look in Mi Shen’s eyes. He turned to Tang Luo and said, “Control your dog.”

Hearing Gong Zheng being addressed as Tang Luo’s, he assumed Gong Zheng had joined Tang Luo. This could explain why he had captured Li Shaoyuan to exchange for his family members.

Tang Luo laughed but did not bother explaining further. He raised his voice and said, “Will the exchange proceed or not? If not, I’ll go.”

Mi Shen reached out with his right hand and gestured coldly. Two warriors brought in a woman leading a little girl. The woman was proportionate, and attractive with her long black hair casually tied up adding a hint of elegance. Despite being a captive, she showed no fear. Holding the little girl’s hand, she walked to the front of the formation and nodded lightly at Gong Zheng, her eyes full of tenderness.

The woman seemed calm, but the little girl she was leading couldn’t stay calm. When she saw Gong Zheng in the distance, she pouted and began crying. Her bravery disappeared as she whimpered, “Daddy, come and save me!”

When Gong Zheng saw his wife and daughter safe, the murderous glint in his eyes faded leaving a guilty look. His heart ached at his daughter’s crying but he knew he couldn’t do anything right now. All he could do was comfort her softly, “Be good, baby. It’ll be over soon. Wait for Daddy.”

Mi Shen took a step forward and said coldly, “Let’s start the exchange.” All he wanted was to quickly complete the exchange and then kill Tang Luo.

“What’s the rush?” Tang Luo saw Mi Shen’s urgency to make the exchange, and he knew exactly what he was planning. He teased, “Look behind you, all those elite warriors. What happens when you all merge into a Combined Attack Technique after the exchange?”

“Does the Pride of Xiling actually fear?!” Mi Shen said coldly.

Tang Luo burst into a hearty laugh and said, “Fear, of course not. But what if I accidentally wiped out your ten teams of warriors, won’t your mansion have to disband?”

“Absolutely arrogant!” Mi Shen couldn’t believe that even with such a disparity in numbers, Tang Luo could still speak such provocative words. He originally thought Tang Luo was an opponent but now he seemed just a reckless lunatic.

Old Xu frowned. Although Tang Luo had asked him not to speak beforehand and just to follow his commands, he was very uncomfortable with the situation before him.

One person was cowardly yet incessantly talking, and the other seemed haughty but wasn’t honorable. Usually, with such people, he would just want to behead them with a sword instead of wasting words.

The Xu Clan’s motto was clear: if you can physically fight, try not to verbally clash.

“Should we kill him?” He whispered to Tang Luo. Although he had promised Tang Luo not to act rashly beforehand, he still suppressed his annoyance and asked, despite disliking him.

Tang Luo saw Old Xu’s impatient face and whispered comfortingly, “Not yet, wait until your challenge on the platform, then you can strike.”

If today, to save Gong Zheng’s wife and daughter, he killed Mi Shen, he could be sure that Mi Hu would not let the matter rest. If the Tang and Mi families clashed now, there would surely be more than just one or two casualties. So he couldn’t let Mi Shen get hurt, at least, not today. The same logic applied to why the other side wouldn’t let him get hurt.

Since his cousin was already impatient, Tang Luo decided to move on to the main point, he said loudly to Mi Shen, “Let’s start the exchange.”

Then he whispered to Gong Zheng, “Be careful during the exchange, I suspect they might attack directly. Remember to protect your wife and daughter.”

Honestly, he was quite appreciative of Gong Zheng’s wife. As the saying goes, ‘even the worst man can get a good wife’, and for a gangster leader like Gong Zheng, his bride was quite a catch. Trapped, yet calm and composed, she exhibited the grace of a lady. Despite having no cultivation base, she remained calm. From the beginning, she just calmly looked at Gong Zheng without saying a word.

He wouldn’t like a woman like this to die just like that, so he advised Gong Zheng a few words.

Mi Shen wanted to complete the swap ASAP. When he heard Tang Luo, he waved his hand, and the two warriors with Gong Zheng’s wife walked ahead. Gong Zheng also moved forward, dragging Li Shaoyuan.

The underhanded scheme that Tang Luo expected didn’t happen, and both parties calmly exchanged their hostages and retreated into their formations.

Gong Zheng held his little girl and held his wife’s hand. The two looked at each other for a long time. Slowly, the gaze of the gangster softened with guilt. He said in a low voice, “Madam, you have suffered.”

The woman gave a light smile, and only tightened her grip on Gong Zheng’s hand.

Tang Luo hadn’t expected the exchange to be completed so easily, but that was fine. Next, he had to do what he was supposed to do. He pointed at Mi Shen and said, “Well, gentlemen, now I must inform you, you’re encircled. Please hand over Li Shaoyuan.”

Having just removed the gag from Li Shaoyuan’s mouth, Mi Hou heard Tang Luo boasting across him and immediately spun around, exclaiming, “Tang Luo, has something gone wrong with you?”

Mi Shen’s face turned thunderous. He was about to order his groups to surround the opponent when he heard Tang Luo’s outrageous words. He looked at the two transcendent peak warriors next to Tang Luo, then at the ten teams of transcendent warriors behind him, feeling incredulous.

He couldn’t fathom how Tang Luo thought, how he could say such words, daring to utter such outrageous claims in front of him.

The ten teams of transcendent warriors behind him were the true elite of the mansion. The Combined Attack Technique they practiced held staggering power. With such a martial force at hand, he wouldn’t even fear the Fierce Realm let alone a guardian at the peak of the transcendent state next to Tang

Luo..
