657: Chapter 646: Evil Gu Yunteng Family 657: Chapter 646: Evil Gu Yunteng Family “I’m sorry…”
Standing by the bed, Shangguan Tanglong buried his head in sha.
He had failed to protect the Holy dicine that could have allowed Shangguan Tenglong to stand again.
Now, not only Shangguan Tenglong but also other severely injured masters of the Shangguan Family wouldn’t be able to regain their combat strength anyti soon.
A strong sense of guilt was growing in his heart.
Shangguan Tanglong dared not et his brother Shangguan Tenglong’s eyes, which had once been filled with hope but now were shadowed by the sorrow they reflected.
Shangguan Tenglong’s wife, Zheng Youqin, was not a foolish woman.
Although sowhat timid, she could keenly read the aning in Shangguan Tanglong’s eyes.
The fla of hope that had reignited in her eyes had now completely extinguished.
“We must avenge this.
I will go to Zang City afterward,” he said.
Shangguan Tanglong clenched his fists, a hint of hatred flashing in his bloodshot eyes.
Ning Fan had caused great losses to the Shangguan Family several tis.
In the coming period, the Shangguan Family would face unprecedented difficulties.
Even those families they once looked down upon and considered beneath notice might take advantage of the chaos to bite back.
This trip to Zang City was not only about seeking revenge but also about seeking protection.
In Jiangcheng, they might have been dominators, albeit past tense, but compared to that family in Zang City who controlled them from behind, the Shangguan Family was nothing.
Behind the Shangguan Family, there was another major family supporting them.
The Shangguan Family was essentially an affiliate of theirs.
“If you leave, I worry…”
Although Shangguan Tenglong was emotionally troubled right now, he was more concerned about the future of the Shangguan Family.
It was not that he distrusts the major family in Zang City backing the Shangguan Family, but now, with only Shangguan Tanglong left as an Object-Manipulating Realm master, without him present, could the Shangguan Family hold on until support from Zang City arrived?
Shangguan Tanglong sighed and comforted him, “Trust Yunyang and the others.
I’m going to Zang City this ti, and I’ll leave the family matters to him.”
Now, that was the only option, aside from Shangguan Tanglong himself, there was no suitable candidate to go to Zang City.
Lying in the bed, Shangguan Tenglong’s expression beca tornted.
“Don’t overthink it.
Our Shangguan Family will definitely overco this tough ti.”
Shangguan Tenglong nodded, trying not to think further.
Now that Shangguan Tanglong was going to Zang City to see that family, the temporary responsibility of managing the Shangguan Family had to be entrusted to Shangguan Yunyang.
Having decided this, Shangguan Tanglong discussed so issues with Shangguan Yunyang and then hastened to Zang City overnight.
…
Zang City housed four major families, among which one was known for its Evil Gu and was called the Evil Gu Yunteng.
Behind the Shangguan Family was the support of the Yunteng Family.
The affiliation of the Shangguan Family with the Yunteng Family was little known, and unless necessary, this relationship would not be exposed.
Shangguan Tanglong rushed to Zang City overnight.
After traveling tirelessly, he arrived in Zang City and directly sought an audience with Teng Zhuhai, the Family Head of the Yunteng Family.
“My na is Shangguan Tanglong, and I urgently need to speak with Mr.
Teng Zhuhai, the Family Head of the Yunteng Family!”
Standing at the entrance to the grand Yunteng residence, Shangguan Tanglong, respectful and cautious, greeted with clasped hands.
The two individuals at the entrance were known to Shangguan Tanglong.
These two young n were among the five Object-Manipulating Realm masters of the Yunteng Family, Teng Zhong and Teng Xi.
“Shangguan Tanglong, the Family Head is already waiting for you.
Go in,”
Teng Zhong coldly glanced at Shangguan Tanglong, then casually made a gesture of invitation.
Facing the forr head of the Shangguan Family and the current protector, Shangguan Tanglong, Teng Zhong and Teng Xi’s attitudes were rely polite.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Shangguan Family was a subordinate to the Yunteng Family, which ant they were basically underlings, their attitudes would have been prouder, or even described as rude.
Everyone in Zang City knew that anyone from the Yunteng Family walked horizontally across Zang City, and no one dared to speak idly.
Noticing the disdain in their eyes, Shangguan Tanglong felt so resentnt inside, but he dared not show it on his face.
By realm, he was at the Object-Manipulating Realm Peak, yet he had to be utterly respectful toward two who were at the Object-Manipulating Realm Interdiate Stage, which truthfully felt stifling.
But standing behind these two was the vast Yunteng Family, indeed the real behemoth compared to the Shangguan Family.
Shangguan Tanglong dared not provoke them easily, and could only struggle to maintain his deanor, making sure he didn’t look too awkward.
Having just been through an ordeal with Ning Fan not long ago, Shangguan Tanglong hadn’t had a chance to get organized and arrived here weary from his travels, without even a mont to rest.
Following them inside, all the way, Shangguan Tanglong kept his head down, not looking around, because in the Yunteng family, venomous creatures were kept everywhere, and it was not unusual here to cherish the Five Poisons as treasures.
As an affiliate of the Yunteng Family, Shangguan Tanglong naturally knew what the Yunteng family was up to; they were always developing towards Evil Gu, and everyone carried Gu Insects with them.
These Gu, when used on people, could kill or control them.
Just thinking about it, even Shangguan Tanglong, no stranger to such horrors, shivered.
Being one of Zang City’s four major families, the atmosphere in Yunteng Family was quite eerie, perhaps due to the rearing of Gu Insects, and Shangguan Tanglong had been feeling particularly oppressed since he entered.
“Go in; the Family Head has been waiting for quite a while now,”
Teng Zhong said coldly, then bent over to open the door to the study.
“Family Head, Shangguan Tanglong is here,”
The tone of Teng Zhong changed suddenly to respectful, a stark contrast to how he had treated Shangguan Tanglong earlier.
Shangguan Tanglong took a deep breath, patted his robe, then slightly bowed his head, and with hands at his sides, cautiously walked into the study.
After seeing him enter, Teng Zhong casually closed the door, then stood guard with Teng Xi, blocking anyone from entering.
At the sa ti, a tall and pretty woman with purple eyeshadow approached, noticing Teng Zhong and Teng Xi guarding the study door out of curiosity, and ca over to ask, “Is there a guest?”
“I’ve t Miss Feiyue.
The Family Head is eting Shangguan Tanglong from the Shangguan Family,”
“Oh, soone from the Shangguan Family has co again?
Tell , what’s his business here?”
Teng Feiyue knew about Shangguan Tanglong, a peak master of the Object-Manipulating Realm, the forr Family Head of the Shangguan Family, and currently its protector.
She was quite curious about his arrival.
But Teng Zhong was sowhat troubled, unsure whether he should speak.
