Faced with Tang Luos straightforward attitude, Elder Xu couldnt help but admire him.

If this were a thousand years ago, the mere fact of the Han Familys eldest son dying in Xiling would have been enough for Longzhou to be obliterated by the Slaughter Immortal Army. But now, apart from the major sanctuaries and sects, who still remembers the past glory of the Han Family?

Ever since the fall of the Han Family a thousand years ago, this once-respected noble family disappeared from the face of the earth. It was not until rumors spread of a warrior named Han Qianhu appearing in Zhongzhou, who closely resembled the Han Familys Immortal Soldier, that the Xu Clan cto know that descendants of the Han family still survived in the world.

The Xu Clan had once dispatched the Divine Sword Army to protect this descendant of the Han Family in Zhongzhou, but by the tthey arrived, they heard that Han Qianhu and his family had been pursued and killed, struggling to flee westward.

The Divine Sword Army chased persistently in the west, but ultimately found no trace of Han Qianhu and his assailants, and had to give up.

Although the Divine Sword Army did not find Han Qianhu, they brought back a lot of news about him.

The most crucial piece of information was that the whereabouts of Han Qianhus wife and young son were unknown. The commander of the Divine Sword Army deduced that Han Qianhu had hidden them along their escape route.

But Han Qianhu had fought his way through twenty thousand li, across mountains and rivers, who knew where he had hidden his wife and child. All they could do was to make a rough guess that they might have ended up in Longzhou.

Today, the appearance of this jade pendant undoubtedly confirmed these rumors. At the time, Han Qianhu was escaping from west to east, indicating that he had abandoned his young son in Xiling.

How many people know about the matter of you killing the Han familys son? Elder Xu asked in a deep voice. Despite not knowing the extent of the Han Familys growth over the past thousand years, he assumed their strength to be far superior to that of the Tang Family in Xiling.

After all, a family with saintly foundations recovers at a terrifying speed.

But because too many people were looking into the whereabouts of the Han Family, they definitely did not dare to blatantly appear on the mainland. Therefore, it was easy to imagine that the Han Familys intelligence network must be very rudimentary. And Han Qianhu likely did not survive, otherwise, how could the Han family have allowed the Boundary Breaking Stone and their legitimate descendant to be lost and killed outside.

As long as they could control all the related individuals, no one would know about Tang Luo killing the Han Familys son, unless his cousin had killed him in broad daylight. That would indeed be troubling.

Upon hearing Elder Xus intentions, Tang Luo waved his hand and said, Except for me, no one knows that he was the Han Familys son. After being adopted by a beggar in Xiling, his nwas changed to Fang Han. The jade pendant cinto my possession after several transactions in pawnshops. You dont need to worry about loose ends, I just want to know the current status of the Han Family.

Fang Han? Shuhui asked in surprise, Are you saying the renegade servant is the Han Familys heir?

She never thought that the Han familys legitimate son, who was feared by many, was the rebel from the Martial Hall. This gave her a peculiar feeling. The legitimate son of the Han Family had died under the surnFang at the edge of Lingjiang. Two years later, there was no evidence to prove his death and this greatly relieved her.

Elder Xu was stunned, SurnFang? Wasnt this Han Familys son surnamed Han, raised by a widow?

In the rumors, Han Qianhu had hidden his wife and son together. However, according to his cousin and niece, this guy had actually becan orphan? This was fantastic!

Well, you dont have to worry, cousin. The Han Family wont be able to trace it back to you. Elder Xu let out a sigh of relief.

The biggest gap between a normal noble family and a reclusive one is not necessarily in terms of martial power, but the control over intelligence.

Unless the Han Family had a spy network that could infiltrate every city in Xiling, they would never suspect that their heir had becan orphan and changed his surname.

Such a network was beyond the capabilities of the Han Family even at their peak, let alone now.

Upon hearing Elder Xus words, Shuhui also broke into a smile, Thats great.

The saying goes, A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. Even if the Han Family was in ruins, she didnt want her child to cacross them.

The Xu Clan of Yuanzhou recorded real historical events, clearly depicting the once-glorious Middle Yuan Han Family and how formidable their warriors were.

Looking at the relieved expressions on Shuhui and Elder Xus faces, Tang Luo could only shake his head helplessly. Neither of them had answered his question about the Han Family.

To be honest, he didntthink a family erased from history could still maintain a formidable martial power. Even if the Han Family were to produce a King Realm master, would those clans who had once overthrown them have ceased to progress over the past thousand years?

Most hatred in the world is over interests. That is to say, as long as enough interests are involved, many grudges can be forgotten. fre(e)web

Only vendettas involving extermination of an entire clan are the exception. When a powerful clan is overthrown, their women becplaythings, their children are killed, their history is erased, and the remnants survive by clinging to the remnants of the clans past power, what sustains them is humiliation and hatred.

But the reality is, such a clan is very unlikely to make a comeback. Because once they show signs of revival and are discovered, those clans who once banded together to overthrow them will unite once again.

Because they know, theres simply no room for compromise between the two sides, only survival of the fittest.

Actually, Tang Luo was long-prepared for the possibility of a powerful clan backing Fang Han, but he never took it very seriously. After all, power is always relative. As long as he uses hatred as a leverage, when the forces behind Fang Han reveal themselves, he can always find plenty of allies to join his side.

Despite the terrifying origins of the forces behind Fang Han, it doesnt change their status as homeless dogs.

Only Tang Luo, as a clan elder, was fully aware of the true strength of the Tang Clan. With even the lowest-ranking Fierce Realm teams aside, the Tang Family alone had about thirty Fierce Realm squads, not counting the closed-door cultivated warriors. Unless the Han Family could mount an attack led by King Realm warriors, their aim to swiftly overthrow the Tang Family would be nothing but a dream.

If the Tang Family were given another ten years to perfect the research on individual fusion techniques, even the top sects in the world would not frighten them. If a family, even a former saintly family, were really that strong, why would they be afraid to make a bit of a nfor themselves on the mainland?

Tang Luo never underestimated any opponent, but he also did not underestimate his own strength. Therefore, he could take everything lightly. The worst-case scenawould be his family going into hiding until his martial arts skills were perfected, then returning for revenge. Whats the big deal?

After clearing up the matter of Fang Han, the three of them once again turned their attention to the auction.

Regarding this unidentified gemstone, the people on the first floor had been bidding for a good while before the price rose to two million gold. Now, there were fewer and fewer people bidding, and the bids were becoming more fixed.

After all, even for these noble families, a shining white jade isnt worth so much, especially when a night pearl of the ssize costs only a hundred thousand gold. This white jade, aside from being more luminous, serves the spurpose: illumination.

In essence, staring at a dazzlingly bright jade for enjoyment is foolish, let alone wearing a jade pendant that emits such a light.

When the price climbed to two million gold, everyone started to reconsider the price-performance raand realized that this thing was essentially useless.

Just then, the young master in the southwest corner called out a bid.

Three million gold!bender
