Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 93 We are the successors of communism
Tang Zheng's eyes turned cold instantly.
Yes, he felt from the very beginning that Xiao Tanzhi knew too much!
Moreover, after he arrived, his dedication to Tang Zheng and Xu Qingyan far exceeded the scope of his job duties. Xiao Tanzhi took on all the responsibilities without saying a word. He even stayed up late and vomited blood several times in order to design Xu Qingyan's awakening. Tang Zheng actually felt that something was a bit abnormal.
Now it seems that Xiao Tanzhi is atonement?
While the two were talking, a leaf flew over.
Qin Rong and Tang Zheng looked in the direction where the leaves came from, but neither of them moved.
The next moment, the leaves passing between them burst out with star power, covering the entire forest.
"Hey, Grandpa Ghost, you won. You didn't hit any of them." A voice that was very familiar to Tang Zheng but a little unfamiliar to Qin Rong came along with the leaves.
However, after the leaves fell, Tang Zheng looked helpless, but Qin Rong accurately said: "Shadow King Formation?"
Qin Rong suddenly understood who Tang Zheng was referring to when he said he didn't mind waiting for one more person.
Kageyama, the Shadow King!
"Azhi, I haven't seen you for a year, and you haven't made any progress at all." Tang Zheng's eyes fell on the child who was walking slowly towards them.
A leaf, a world of its own - Azhi has certainly made progress!
However, he also knew that what Tang Zheng was talking about was not his improvement in strength, but his temperament which had hardly changed.
"Tsk." He turned his head. "It's you who hasn't made any progress, right?"
"Wow, you've learned how to betray your teacher and ancestors, haven't you?"
"I just listened for a long time..." Ah Zhi looked at Tang Zheng and said speechlessly: "Master, Master! In this world, not many people know the surname of Shadow King of Shadow Mountain. As for the exact name of the Shadow King's successor... do you think some great prophet of the demon race can calculate it?"
“…”
"So, Master, when you saw the blacklist, you should have known that it all came from Xinjiang!"
“…”
“Ghost Grandpa, Ghost Grandpa, look, I said that the Master was deceived by the blacklist, hahahahaha, now you lose…”
"Azhi, I take back what I said just now." Tang Zheng couldn't laugh at all.
Before going out on his travels, Azhi needed to maintain the purest heart because he had to practice the most difficult martial arts. Even when Tang Zheng met him, he could be easily fooled around.
However, a year later, he could actually read such details.
The blacklist was not calculated by any great prophet, but was fabricated by some people in Xinjiang with ulterior motives.
And there are probably not many people in the territory who know Azhi’s real name—Fang Youxie.
Even Qin Rong, the eldest son of the Tianqin family, one of the seven top families, probably doesn't know the real name of the next Shadow King of Yingshan.
"Unfortunately, Xiao Tanzhi is one of the people who knows my name." Azhi spread out his hands and said with a smile.
In a year, Azhi grew a little taller.
However, the liveliness and brightness in her expression remained unchanged.
Even if you grow one year older, you are still a child.
"Oh? Allowing the dream mirage to attack us? Haha, I didn't expect Xiao Tanzhi to be so cruel. Is he playing the Battle of Pearl Harbor?" After Tang Zheng came to Xingyao Continent, it was rare for him to feel so heavy-hearted as his mood and breathing.
In fact, Tang Zheng had already anticipated Azhi's arrival.
Xiao Tanzhi has arrived, Du Qixi has arrived, Luo Fei's whereabouts are unknown, Hua Yingxiu has a task entrusted by Tang Zheng. Of the five heirs to the famous city who are located in the territories of the aristocratic families but whose power is outside the power of the aristocratic families, only Azhi has not shown up.
Therefore, Tang Zheng did not expect much from what Qin Rong said.
Because even without Qin Rong's frank narration, Tang Zheng would have figured out the whole story when Azhi arrived - what family's secret could be hidden from Yingshan?
And now, combined with what Qin Rong and Azhi said, Tang Zheng began to feel that things were getting difficult.
If we start from the beginning, the order of things might be like this:
First, Xiao Tanzhi and a certain star lord behind him colluded together and found some clues in the search for the Tianyi Secret Realm.
Then, they learned of an important attack plan of the demon tribe—perhaps it came from the Yaoshan tribe?
Then, they decided to use this attack plan to make a blacklist and spread it before the demons attacked Tang Zheng and his team. The evil cult that indirectly helped spread the blacklist was probably also planned by them.
Finally, the truth was revealed.
Because of the blacklist, the people on the blacklist were already regarded as the hope for the future of the entire continent. Then, this group of hope for the continent was almost wiped out by more than half...
The entire human race's desire to destroy demons, as well as their hatred towards demons, will immediately be raised to an unprecedented level!
He really knows how to play.
After Tang Zheng figured it out, he really didn't want to complain about the "Battle of Pearl Harbor" which was full of loopholes.
"Wait a minute, Azhi, are you also against the extermination of the demon clan?" Tang Zheng suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Me? Nonsense, of course I... don't object!" Azhi rubbed his hands together, looking like he was ready to meet those superior demon tribes right away.
The ghost grandfather who had been accompanying him all the time stroked his beard and smiled: "The economy of Purple Gold City has already infiltrated a large part of the demon race, and Yingshan's power is naturally not far behind... If the demon race is poisoned to death overnight, it is estimated that... humans will be in chaos. What will Yingshan do then? Participate in the civil war?"
Not to mention whether the economic system of Purple Gold City will collapse, what is the point of keeping a place like Yingshan that specializes in killing?
The Shadow Power List might as well die with them.
They disagreed with Xiao Tanzhi's actions, and their reasons were different from Qin Rong's. They did not have different political views, but simply had a conflict of interest.
"Well, since so many people disagree, let's just arrest Xiao Tanzhi and kill him, so that you don't have to..." Tang Zheng was halfway through his words and slapped his head, "No, Xiao Tanzhi can't die..."
Qin Rong was helpless.
The ghost grandfather also looked helpless.
If it were someone else, even the star lord behind Xiao Tanzhi, who wanted to force this matter forward, it would be possible that he would be brought out and killed.
But, Xiao Tanzhi couldn't be killed!
He is the young master of Tianyi Valley.
Eighty-one noble families, countless armies, who has not remembered his kindness?
In fact, who doesn’t have one or two lives in their family, and they are all hanging on Xiao Tanzhi’s shoulders?
Perhaps, among those whom Xiao Tanzhi was taking good care of in Tianyi Valley, there might be some nine-star experts in their twilight years from top families?
And... Tang Zheng himself couldn't let Xiao Tanzhi die - if Xu Qingyan was going to wake up, Xiao Tanzhi was indispensable!
"It's not easy to read the questions, and it's even harder to solve them." Tang Zheng leaned against the tree trunk.
Not far away is Fengmen Village.
Tang Zheng remembered that when he had just traveled to the Xingyao Continent, he looked at the extravagant flower fields of Fengmen Village from afar from this perspective.
Time is running out.
After Tian Meng cracked the Well of the Prophet, they had to cross the border and reach the demon tribe as quickly as possible.
But the variables of this trip are becoming more and more complicated as time goes by...
"General Tian doesn't have enough star power. I'm afraid I can't cross the border with you guys." Ghost Grandpa laughed a few times, "This trip, Your Majesty, is truly the first time you travel alone."
"..." Ah Zhi was stunned for a moment, took a deep look at Grandpa Ghost, and then snorted, "You should have let me go out alone a long time ago!"
Seeing that Ghost Grandpa was walking away, Qin Rong turned to Tang Zheng: "Now that you have figured it out, what are you going to do? Have a showdown with Xiao Tanzhi?"
showdown?
Tang Zheng shook his head.
The cards were already clear. Xiao Tanzhi's answer about whether it was an enemy or a friend was based on his certainty that Tang Zheng would be able to figure out what he was going to do.
Since both sides know what the other side wants to do, there is no question of a showdown, only who is willing to make concessions.
As for Tang Zheng, if he is willing to sacrifice Hua Yingxiu, the two half-demons in his family who have demon blood - the little fox girl Daji, and Ning Mo's nephew, then there will actually not be any big conflict between him and Xiao Tanzhi.
But how to sacrifice?
Even the demon tribe was willing to go for Hua Yingxiu's sake.
For whom do Daji, Ning Mo and others light the lantern every night in Tianxia Minglu?
"Master..." A Zhi poked Tang Zheng with his finger.
Qin Rong had never ignored the way the young heir of the Shadow King addressed Tang Zheng, but, as a son of an aristocratic family, he did not ask out of curiosity.
When Tang Zheng was poked by Azhi, he let out an "oh" and his eyes lit up again.
When Ah Zhi saw his look, he felt something was not right: "Master?"
"Well, let's go back first." Tang Zheng's dark pupils sparkled in the sunlight, "Call everyone over and gather them together."
Soon, all the people in the camp gathered in front of Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng looked at these noble sons and famous border generals with a smile, and said, "There is a legend in the demon tribe - no tribe that schemes against each other can survive and walk out of the Far North Wasteland! So, after leaving Fengmen Village, no matter what your purpose is, don't kill each other or deliberately frame each other. Can you do it?"
"Yes." Xiao Tanzhi smiled and nodded. He didn't want to harm anyone. He just wanted to exterminate the demon clan.
"Well... I guess so." There were a lot of scattered responses. Anyway, Tang Zheng only said that one can't do this or that in the demon clan. Even if they wanted to take action against Fang Jun Ji, they would have to wait until they came back. So, there seemed to be no conflict with Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng nodded: "Very good, you are all sons of noble families and famous generals of the time, your credibility should not be a problem..." Just when everyone thought they could set off, he changed the subject, "However, I don't know you, and I don't trust you, so I designed a spell. After you sing it, the oath will take effect."
Xiao Tanzhi frowned slightly: "Okay."
Tang Xiaotang, who was already stunned by what she heard, blinked several times - when did their teacher design a spell?
Before she could figure it out, Tang Zheng spoke directly: "This oath is also valid for me... Ready, get up... We are the successors of communism, inheriting the glorious traditions of our revolutionary predecessors, loving the motherland, loving the people, with bright red scarves fluttering on our chests..."
Afterwards, in this camp that gathered the most powerful people in Xingyao Continent thirty years later, a solemn and serious "oath" sounded: "We are the successors of communism..."
Tang Xiaotang's eyes twitched - Master, this isn't another piece of nonsense you made up, is it?
