720: 720 720: 720 The next day, Tang Zhong said goodbye to the others and prepared to return to Xuanjing City.
Feng Xiaoxiao and his companions, because of yesterday’s events, understood Tang Zhong’s attitude and didn’t rush to follow him.
They liked Tang Zhong, but their affection wasn’t blind.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good either for them or for Tang Zhong.
So they chose to part ways for a short while.
Only Xia Yuqing accompanied Tang Zhong back to Xuanjing City.
Finally, Tang Zhong, with Jiang Weiwei and Xia Yuqing, arrived back in Xuanjing City.
After settling them into the Tang Family ho, Tang Zhong was ready to head to the Dragon Group.
Seeing a text from Li Linglong, this ti he was to et with General Peng Yuan; since he was referred to as an old general, he didn’t dare to be negligent and headed straight to the Dragon Group.
At the Dragon Group, he encountered Li Linglong, and after a few reserved exchanges, Li Linglong led him to the Dragon Group headquarters.
Seeing Tang Zhong, he threw a punch right at Tang Zhong’s chest, a greeting only close brothers would exchange.
“I tell you, lad, you’re really sothing, blowing up the Bei Country and now killing a figure from the Black List.
How co I never realized you had this kind of ability!” Li Linglong couldn’t help but tease.
Tang Zhong just smiled.
“Typically, you wouldn’t see General Peng Yuan around the Dragon Group, but now that you’re here, the old general has been following you around.
Do you know that when you killed Blood Hand in Jianghai, the general even thought about paying you a visit?
That is indeed extraordinary treatnt!” Li Linglong said.
Soon the two of them ca to a eting room.
“Alright, you go in by yourself!” Li Linglong said.
“Sure!” Tang Zhong nodded and then pushed open the door to the conference room.
He saw that inside, many people were in a eting.
Zhang Changgong and others were all there.
Tang Zhong’s gaze swept over the room and imdiately landed on the elder seated at the highest place.
If not mistaken, that was General Peng Yuan.
Even Zhang Changgong heeded his words, indicating the old man’s prowess.
The Vermilion Bird and others were also present.
Today, Vermilion Bird had changed into a red leather outfit, looking exceptionally sexy and also exuding a mature charm.
Apart from the familiar faces, there were a few he had never seen before, such as the white-bearded man in front, who indeed had the appearance of a robust man, likely in his forties, also a Martial Arts Peak level character, and probably a bit stronger than Vermilion Bird, emanating a wild and violent aura, as if he were a human-shaped killing machine.
At that mont, seeing Tang Zhong enter, General Peng Yuan stepped forward and said, “General Tang, you’ve arrived!”
The leader of the Dragon Group inspected Tang Zhong carefully, sizing him up.
“Yes!” This was Tang Zhong’s first encounter with the old man, and he felt quite reverent.
After all, grandfather Zhang Changgong was his subordinate, so his own grandfather was undoubtedly another of the old man’s subordinates.
Peng Yuan, having taken a good look at Tang Zhong, laughed heartily and said, “To et General Tang is indeed no small feat.
I’ve been waiting so long I’ve grown old!”
Tang Zhong gave an awkward smile, rembering that Li Linglong had ntioned that General Peng Yuan had wanted to see him since his return from Bei Country.
The plan was delayed previously due to a classmate’s college entrance examination and the bar incident.
“Not at all, if the general needs in the future, I will surely be there imdiately!”
Hearing this, Peng Yuan burst into hearty laughter.
Despite being over eighty years old, he still had the air of an ironclad warrior.
And then, staring at Tang Zhong, he asked, “Do you know why I have called you here this ti?”
“I know!” Tang Zhong answered.
Peng Yuan was slightly astonished, “Co on, tell , why do you think I asked for you?”
After he finished, he continued to look around and added, “Rest assured, everyone present is one of our own; there will be no trouble!”
“Yes!” Tang Zhong continued, “It’s because of the incident with Bei Country!”
“Right, you are smart.
I heard from the Vermilion Bird that it was you who shattered Bei Country in one fell swoop.
What kind of power do you possess that enables you to wield such formidable ans!” Peng Yuan remarked.
“It was who shattered it!” Tang Zhong nodded in response.
“You must have received that power from Hidden Sword Mountain!” said Peng Yuan, not waiting for Tang Zhong to reply, and he continued, “I’ve also heard about the anomaly that day.
Legend has it that long ago, when the Emperor fought Chi You, the Xuanyuan Sword he wielded was acquired through a similar serendipity to the extraordinary event you experienced on Hidden Sword Mountain.
Can you tell what power you have obtained?
Don’t worry, I just want to see,” Peng Yuan said, his pupils reflecting a burning curiosity.
Tang Zhong could tell that the other party had no ill intentions, but the secret of the ten Fla Dragon Soldiers was absolutely not to be disclosed.
He imdiately replied, “Indeed, I did receive a force, which I have been suppressing inside my body.
That day, it erupted completely, resulting in that vision!”
Power?
Upon hearing this, Peng Yuan nodded, “I see, that explains it.
No wonder you were able to shatter the Bei Country Peninsula and then kill Blood Hand and the others.
Is that power still within you now?”
“It’s nearly all used up now,” Tang Zhong said.
“Oh!” Peng Yuan nodded, “Since you’ve co here, let tell you about your current situation.
Try not to go out recently!”
“After Bei Country was sunk, almost every nation in the world began looking for the source, which ans they’re looking for you.
They only have one thought in mind, and that is to kill you!”
“I know!” Tang Zhong said.
“Therefore, it’s better if you do not go out anymore.
Stay within the Dragon Group for the next while; we can ensure your safety,” Peng Yuan stated.
“I refuse!” Tang Zhong replied directly.
General Peng Yuan’s expression changed slightly in an instant.
The others around were also taken aback, directing at Tang Zhong they demanded, “You…
how can you speak to the General like that?”
Not everyone present recognized Tang Zhong; there were many whom Tang Zhong had never t before who shouted at him.
“Shut up!” At that mont, General Peng Yuan roared, his authority still very much present despite his advanced age.
No sooner had he finished roaring that everyone around did not dare to continue speaking, and they all closed their mouths.
The General Peng Yuan continued, “I allow Tang Zhong to speak to like this…
starting from now…”
“What?” Everyone present was shocked, he was actually being allowed.
In the eyes of the crowd, there was deep envy.
Li Linglong was truly convinced; Tang Zhong must have stepped in luck, otherwise, it was impossible for him to be this impressive; he was impressed.
“However, you must remain within the Dragon Group for now.
Blood Hand, being Number 58 on the Black List, his death will cause international turmoil.
I believe those who follow the Black List will soon stir, and it won’t be long before Xuan Country experiences upheaval, and their only target will be to kill you!” Peng Yuan looked at Tang Zhong and said.
“Then let them co!” Tang Zhong looked at the elderly man ahead and said with a smile.

I’m really too tired, sorry!)
