Chapter 731: 793 Chapter 731: 793 Chapter Seven Hundred Ninety-Three
“Hundred Spirits Grass?”
Tang Hongye’s face suddenly flashed a trace of embarrassment as he stammered.
Long Xiaoshan narrowed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice, “What’s the matter?
It was your Tang Family who orchestrated the tournament.
I won the tournament.
Could it be that your Tang Family still wants to go back on your word?”
“Master Long, how would our Tang Family dare to renege!”
Tang Hongye hurriedly knelt down and said, “Please, Master, do not misunderstand.”
“If you don’t want to go back on your word, then bring it out,” Long Xiaoshan said.
His purpose in visiting the Tang Family was for the Hundred Spirits Grass.
His soul had yet to recover ever since it split off a Second Prime Spirit last time.
...
Thus, he was determined to obtain the Hundred Spirits Grass, as the Longevity Art’s cultivation technique had strict requirements for the soul.
Besides, the damage to his soul also affected his Heavenly Eye and other divine skills.
After all, even though the External Incarnation was powerful, the most critical aspect was still the original body.
Naturally, Long Xiaoshan valued it highly.
“Yes, yes, but, merely but!” Tang Hongye continued to stutter.
“Just what?
Out with it,” Long Xiaoshan said impatiently.
Tang Hongye clenched his teeth and said, “Master, our Tang Family does not have the Hundred Spirits Grass.
The Hundred Spirits Grass was a ruse primarily to attract alchemists to the tournament.”
“What?” Long Xiaoshan slammed his hand on the armrest, snap, the mahogany armrest shattered instantly.
He stood up abruptly, furiously saying, “Your Tang Family indeed has some nerve!”
The terrifying pressure of a Grandmaster swept through the entire hall.
Instantly, everyone from the Tang Family was forced to kneel.
Even Fu Xuelan next to him furrowed her brows and said, “How can your Tang Family dare to do such a thing?
Aren’t you afraid of offending the various alchemist sects and provoking a backlash from the alchemists?”
Tang Hongye kept kowtowing and said, “Forgive us, Master, we beg your forgiveness.
Our Tang Family simply could not think of any other way.
The Supreme Elder (Tang Honghu) has been afflicted with a witch poison.
We’ve tried everything but have been unable to cure him.
Seeing that he is close to his end, once the Supreme Elder passes away, our Tang Family, without the protection of a grandmaster, will most likely face great troubles.
Hence, the Family Head took this risky move.
Although it might offend the alchemist community, if we can restore the Supreme Elder, any price would be worth it.”
“Detestable!”
Long Xiaoshan was seething with an aura of killing.
After all the efforts he made, the Tang Family could not produce the Hundred Spirits Grass.
“Master, calm your anger.
Although our Tang Family cannot produce the Hundred Spirits Grass, we do have information about the Hundred Spirits Grass.
Those photos were not faked.
Indeed, the Hundred Spirits Grass was photographed by people from our Tang Family,” Tang Hongye said, seeing Long Xiaoshan thunderously enraged and worried that Long Xiaoshan might go on a killing spree, he hurriedly shouted.
“Oh?” Long Xiaoshan’s eyes flashed with a cold light, “Are you sure you’re not trying to hoodwink me?”
“Master Long, I wouldn’t dare.
If this old man dared to deceive the Master, may I suffer a heart pierced by thousands of arrows, pus flowing from my feet, and a miserable death!” Tang Hongye swore fervently.
Long Xiaoshan stared at him, knowing that having slain a Grandmaster of the Tang Family, the people of the Tang Family wouldn’t dare to deceive him.
He spoke indifferently, “Then come here and tell me where was this Hundred Spirits Grass found?”
“Yes.”
Tang Hongye got up, rushed over to Long Xiaoshan, and whispered in his ear.
After hearing him out, Long Xiaoshan’s eyes narrowed.
Shennongjia?
The Hundred Spirits Grass was actually in that place.
That place had always been a forbidden land in Huaxia, with many mystical legends.
Even the Space Ring on his finger was related to that place, having been picked up by Patriarch Bai from the Ghost Cave of Shennongjia years ago.
Long Xiaoshan gently tapped his fingers on the armrest twice.
The appearance of Hundred Spirits Grass in Shennongjia is hardly surprising.
It is said to be the place where the Flame Emperor once tasted a hundred herbs, and the medicinal resources are extremely rich.
However, Shennongjia is full of unknown mysteries and dangers.
Even as a Grandmaster, one cannot recklessly barge in.
Preparation is still needed.
Now, there isn’t much time left until the New Year.
After some thought, Long Xiaoshan decided to wait until after the New Year to search for the Hundred Spirits Grass in Shennongjia.
“Even if the Hundred Spirits Grass once appeared there, does that mean the deceit of your Tang Family towards me should just be forgotten?” Long Xiaoshan snorted coldly.
Tang Hongye, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, said, “Of course not, certainly not.
Our Tang Family has a secret vault, which contains treasures and secret tomes of cultivation techniques that the Tang Family has collected over the years.
The Tang Family is willing to open the vault for Grandmaster, to atone for the deception.”
The corners of Long Xiaoshan’s mouth curved into a smile.
These noble families indeed had quite a few good things.
When the Qiu Family was annihilated by the Special Action Division, he had secretly scored a fortune.
The Tang Family, being the number one noble family of Xichuan and having dominated the area for many years, makes the Qiu Family look like a small witch in the presence of a Great Witch.
The Tang Family’s secret vault was bound to bring him a pleasant surprise.
His heart swelled with silent joy, yet his face remained expressionless: “Very well, seeing as you sincerely repent, I shall not hold you accountable for now.”
“Thank you for your generosity, Grandmaster,” Tang Hongye said with a tearfully grateful look, yet his heart was bleeding.
But he also silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Offending a Grandmaster was not a simple matter.
That the Tang Family had not been exterminated was already an enormous stroke of luck.
Those external possessions were better left unmentioned.
“Grandmaster, there is one more matter for which I seek your counsel,” said Tang Hongye cautiously.
“Hmm?” Long Xiaoshan looked up at him.
“It’s about the position of the Family Head of our Tang Family.
Now that Tang Xun has offended the Grandmaster and deservedly met his end, our Tang Family cannot remain without a leader.
We would like to nominate Tang Shengfeng as the new Family Head of the Tang Family.
What do you think, Grandmaster?”
“Ah?”
Standing below, Tang Shengfeng looked up, incredulously exclaiming, “Great grandfather!”
He had never imagined that he, a discarded pawn nearly abandoned by the Tang Family, would be nominated by Tang Hongye as the next Family Head.
For years, his greatest dream had been to return to the Tang Family and regain its recognition; that alone would have satisfied him.

Despite his youth, Long Xiaoshan’s mind was much shrewder than his peers.
His gaze flickered, and he looked at Tang Hongye with a half-smiling, half-serious expression.
The old fox.
He’s trying to leverage my influence.
The Tang Family’s experts were almost wiped out by him, leaving Tang Family as nothing but an empty shell.
Despite nearly two hundred people present here, very few were actually useful.
With only a couple of small Xuan Level Experts left and the rest being Huang Level and the old, weak women, and children…
To uphold the status of Xichuan’s first noble family in such a state was a pipe dream.
Once he left, the Tang Family, instead of maintaining its former glory, would sooner or later be devoured by other forces.
The Tang Family had been number one for too many years.
The forces that had been suppressed and bullied by it for so many years would surely not let them off.
Kicking someone when they’re down is what people love best.
This old fox Tang Hongye, although appearing utterly submissive, was actually setting his sights on leveraging my Grandmaster status.
Noticing that Tang Shengfeng got along well with me, he wanted to set Shengfeng up in power.
If Tang Shengfeng became the Family Head, I, as a Grandmaster, would not take action against the Tang Family out of consideration for Shengfeng.
I might even use my influence to deter other forces and prevent the Tang Family from complete ruin.
Long Xiaoshan flicked his fingernails, having seen through Tang Hongye’s intentions.
Yet, he had no intention to expose him, for Tang Shengfeng seemed quite acceptable; he had stood out to speak for him during conflicts with the Tang Family several times.
Since that was the case, he might as well bestow this generous gift upon him.
