Chapter 2325 -2320: Contest Participants

The attendant spoke excitedly.

Bing Jianbo was very surprised, he exchanged a glance with Bing Feng.

Tang Ming then raised an eyebrow and looked at Jin Bashan, “Elder Bashan, what do you think about this matter?”

“I’m not sure what the Feng Family is planning. But this kind of thing hasn’t happened before.”

Jin Bashan’s expression was solemn. He’s faced off against the Feng Family members more than once.

He’s quite familiar with Feng Shendao and Elder Feng Rui from Source Stone City.

Both of these individuals possess the Feng Family’s astuteness and pride.

“Hmm, it seems we need to hurry back. Ice Family Head, do you plan to go to Source Stone City? If you do, we can look out for one another.”

Tang Ming looked at Bing Jianbo to the side.

Bing Jianbo shook his head and said, “Forget it, forget it, I have a lot to deal with, I won’t go.”

“Then I’ll go on behalf of the Family Head.”

Seeing Tang Ming’s raised eyebrow, Bing Feng smiled and then spoke.

Tang Ming nodded. Although the Ice Family’s internal turmoil was resolved, Bing Feng and Bing Jianbo’s attitudes revealed Bing Jianbo still wished to hold firmly to Wanghai City, while Bing Feng’s mind was more active.

The fact that Tang Ming previously asked Bing Jianbo was quite telling, if you want to come with us, then we are allies.

If you’re unwilling to go, it’s a slight to me, Tang Ming. As the City Lord of West Continent City, disrespecting me means disrespecting the city itself.

“If the Ice Family truly has matters to handle, not going is no big deal. I suspect this Immortal Craftsman competition by the Feng Family may be aimed at me.”

Tang Ming sighed deeply, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.

Jin Bashan recalled what Yao Jian had previously told him, his eyes sharpened, and said, “So that’s how it is, no wonder the Feng Family suddenly started such a competition.”

“City Lord Tang Ming mentioned that the Feng Family’s competition is aimed at you. Are you perhaps also an Immortal Craftsman?”

Bing Jianbo looked at Tang Ming in surprise and asked.

Tang Ming raised an eyebrow and replied, “Why, can’t I be an Immortal Craftsman?”

“That’s not what I meant. I mean, I’m actually an Immortal Craftsman too, which is why the family is so happy. But now, with Wanghai City so vulnerable, if I don’t stay, it risks being lost once again to any approaching enemies.”

Bing Jianbo sighed deeply and said.

“Now, even if you stay, it won’t make a difference. It’s better to unite forces and face it as one.”

Jin Bashan glanced at Bing Jianbo, seeing him unwilling to say much more, huffed and walked straight out.

Tang Ming exchanged a glance with Hu Mei’er, “Great Elder, shall we depart soon?”

“I’ll leave tomorrow, there’s still much to handle on the family’s side.”

Bing Feng said awkwardly.

Tang Ming nodded, watching Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er leave, Bing Jianbo slapped the table and stood up; “Outrageous, he just wants us to become slaves in his domain!”

“Family Head, watch your words. After all, he saved our lives and drove away the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect.”

Bing Feng looked towards the door, fearing Tang Ming and others hadn’t gone far.

Someone able to defeat the creatures of the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect could eliminate the current Ice Family in an instant.

Bing Feng thought, Tang Ming already gave them much respect by not forcing them to West Continent City.

However, Bing Jianbo believed, Tang Ming disregarded them by not helping stabilize the situation, merely requesting they leave Wanghai City for West Continent City with no regard for the Ice Family.

“If the Holy Maiden Palace were still around, those people wouldn’t leave. Who knows what the Holy Maiden was thinking, abandoning the Holy Maiden Palace for West Continent City, a place constantly under threat.”

Bing Jianbo muttered to himself.

As Tang Ming followed Hu Mei’er out, Hu Mei’er sighed, “Actually, I can understand the Ice Family Head’s thoughts.”

“Just someone power-hungry. No big deal, we’ll encounter more like this in the future.”

Tang Ming nodded, seemingly indifferent.

Hu Mei’er was taken aback by Tang Ming’s response then laughed softly, “Turns out, I didn’t think as clearly as you did.”

“That’s the way it is, such individuals are numerous and widespread, self-centered. Don’t dwell on it. I think this time, the Feng Family’s Immortal Craftsman competition is a great opportunity.”

Tang Ming shook his head helplessly and said.

Hu Mei’er’s eyes sharpened at Tang Ming’s words, “You wish to recruit those Immortal Craftsmen competing, knowing those participating must be associated with certain forces.”

“I know, so I want to spread word about West Continent City’s situation, knowing doors open and close depending on choices, everyone understands the challenges West Continent City faces, yet participation or avoidance is a matter of decision.”

Tang Ming sighed deeply and said.

“Hmm, hmm, then with whom do you intend to join in this competition?”

Hu Mei’er nodded and asked.

Tang Ming paused briefly then said, “I think myself, Yao Jian, and Master Nak.”

Barton Nake is a highly skilled Artifact Refiner, otherwise the Feng Family wouldn’t be collaborating with him to sell minerals to the Demon Slayer Clan.

“Hmm, Master Nak is a good choice, but are you sure of Yao Jian’s skill level?”

Hu Mei’er nodded at Tang Ming’s selection and asked.

“The Twin Clan recently allied with us, Yao Jian represents newcomers. Master Nak represents veterans. Plus, because the Demon Slayer Clan just lost their Prophet, I need to boost their confidence.”

Tang Ming looked at Hu Mei’er and said.

Hu Mei’er’s mouth twitched a bit, realizing Tang Ming’s considerations differed from hers. Apparently, Tang Ming had many thoughts on the matter.

Recently Barton Nake has been doing well, despite the old Prophet’s demise causing him a day’s grief, he hasn’t delayed in crafting Immortal Artifacts.

After all, the Guardians of West Continent City have increased, and so has the demand for Immortal Artifacts.

He moved out of the City Lord Mansion, residing with other Immortal Craftsmen. They handle the artifacts reported daily, and to prevent their workload from becoming overwhelming, Tang Ming has even increased the contribution for crafting Immortal Artifacts.
