Chapter 2307: Chapter 2302: The Bing Family’s Secret

However, things have taken a turn in the past few days.

Members of the Yu Family, at some unknown time, pledged allegiance to a force called the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect.

This force has attracted several local families, and those families have willingly become followers of the Blood Ancestor.

This makes people from the Bing Family somewhat panicked, because those who have pledged allegiance to the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect have rapidly increased in strength.

Even the useless Family Head of the Yu Family has reached the realm of the Bing Family Head.

"This cannot continue."

Bing Jianbo, the Bing Family Head, stood up and looked at the elders in the council hall.

Those elders looked at each other, faces painted with wry smiles: "Family Head, you must think it over."

"Indeed, Family Head, there are so many families that have pledged allegiance to the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect, if we really take action against the Yu Family, the consequences could be unimaginable."

Great Elder Bing Feng stood up and spoke at this time.

After all, the envoys of the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect are too powerful.

"If we do not take action, in a few days, our Bing Family will be finished."

Bing Jianbo slammed the table yet sat back down powerlessly.

"Why don’t we also pledge allegiance to the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect? Our Bing Family’s strength is much greater than the Yu Family’s."

An elder standing at the doorway suddenly spoke up.

The council hall suddenly fell silent, every Bing Family member’s gaze fixed upon that elder.

The elder looked somewhat embarrassed, coughed, and then said: "Family Head, I’m considering the family’s benefit in this. Look at the Yu Family; after pledging allegiance to the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect, they’ve gained so many benefits and increased their strength. If we pledge allegiance too, imagine how much we’ll gain."

Seeing Family Head Bing Jianbo and Great Elder Bing Feng remain silent, the elder named Bing Jiancha showed a delighted smile on his face.

"Family Head, Great Elder, I have already contacted the divine envoy of the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect. As long as we pledge our allegiance, Wanghai City will still belong to our Bing Family. Your previous refusals will not be held against you by the envoy."

Bing Jiancha stepped forward excitedly.

Bing Jianbo’s face revealed a cold smile: "Bing Jiancha, did they also tell you that if I don’t agree to this, they will send someone to end me, and then let you take the position of Family Head."

Bing Jianbo’s voice was not loud, yet Bing Jiancha’s face drastically changed: "Family Head, you can’t say that about me, my loyalty to the Bing Family is as clear as the sun and moon. The Bing Family joining the Blood Ancestor is following the will of Heaven. If you don’t agree, that means leading the Bing Family to destruction."

"Bah. Whether the Bing Family will be destroyed, I don’t know, but you will surely be."

Bing Jianbo extended his hand, intense cold energy condensed in his palm, directly covering Bing Jiancha.

But something unexpected for Bing Jianbo and the Bing Family occurred.

Bing Jiancha’s pupils turned red, and dense red lines appeared on his face.

The ice that had sealed him was all driven away by the red glow.

One hand directly reached for Bing Family Head Bing Jianbo.

"Bing Jianbo, Family Head, you have forced me. Becoming a servant to the Blood Ancestor is following Heaven’s will, and if you refuse, don’t blame me for being impolite."

The blue and red, two colors melded together, two beams of light rapidly spinning, flew directly towards Bing Jianbo.

Bing Jianbo and Bing Feng exchanged a glance, stood together, and gathered their immortal power to resist.

Boom.

A massive sound appeared before Bing Jianbo and Bing Feng. The two cried out at the same time, flying backward.

The elders in the hall split into two groups, one side came to Bing Jianbo and Bing Feng to protect them.

The rest stood in place, their gaze fixed on Bing Jiancha.

With a slight curve at the corners of his mouth, Bing Jiancha said: "Bing Jianbo, Bing Feng, I know you all look down on me, think my strength low, but now, my power is not inferior. The Blood Ancestor has given me strength. I declare, the Bing Family joins the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect. People, imprison Bing Jianbo, Bing Feng, and those fellows."

Bing Jiancha ordered with authority.

Tang Ming noticed upon entering Wanghai City that the atmosphere seemed somewhat different, with many shops closed and only one inn still open. ℴ

"First, let’s get a room and settle down," Tang Ming said.

Tang Ming heard Murong say that the Bing Family in Wanghai City had not yet pledged allegiance to the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect, so he thinks it should be relatively safe.

But as he entered the inn, he overheard some people in the hall dining talking about the Bing Family.

"That Bing Jianbo is really clueless; the divine envoy of the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect invited him to join, yet he refused, and now Bing Jiancha has imprisoned him. It is said tomorrow Bing Jiancha plans to personally offer Bing Jianbo and Bing Feng in the city’s central plaza to the Blood Ancestor."

A diner laughed heartily with his companions, clearly finding Bing Jianbo and Bing Feng’s downfall a source of joy.

Tang Ming’s brows furrowed slightly, yet he remained silent.

Gehou approached Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er: "Master, Madam, should I go out and gather some intelligence?"

Tang Ming nodded; Gehou, being an assassin, had a knack for gathering intelligence.

"Since this should be the territory of the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect, gather the intelligence and directly relay to Clan Leader Murong and the Demon Slayer Clan; Mei’er and I will stay here, so you should have no trouble finding us, right?"

"Rest assured, Young Master."

Gehou nodded, departing from the inn.

Tang Ming did not rush but ordered some dishes and a pot of wine, then sat with Hu Mei’er.

The inn’s discussions mostly revolved around tomorrow’s handling of Bing Jianbo and Bing Feng.

Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er sipped wine and tasted food, while listening closely to the surrounding conversations, eyebrows slightly furrowed.

They all seemed to yearn for the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect because it can grant them power.

As Tang Ming was about to open his mouth for inquiry, a servant dashed in from outside: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper. The divine envoy of the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect is here."

"What? The divine envoy is here?"

The entire inn erupted in chaos, with many eyes now fixed on the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper swallowed hard and then asked: "Where is he?"

"Just now, people from Bing Family and Yu Family came to notify. The divine envoy said he wants to stay at our inn."

The young servant wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied.

The old shopkeeper nodded, he cheerfully came out and declared: "Everyone heard, right? Today we won’t be hosting you. The meal’s on me. Let’s all elevate a step, okay?"
