(One more) The entire Xuanguan Sea was utterly astonished.
The newly appointed Divine Dragon General actually silenced the Yan Family, defeated Yan Long, and yet the Yan Family did nothing in response.
It was hard not to wonder—who exactly was this Divine Dragon General?
But the more curious people beca, the harder it was to find any answers.
No matter how deep they dug, they couldn’t uncover Tang Zhong’s true identity!
However, the astute understood this: if you cannot unravel soone’s background, it’s probably best to stop trying.
Because soone had clearly gone to great lengths to keep it hidden.
Thus, Tang Zhong was unequivocally no ordinary man.
With that realization, everyone understood why no one dared to act against him.
After all, they were rely part of Xuanguan Sea and didn’t fully grasp the intricacies of Xuan Country’s martial arts world.
Only a few families with martial arts experts on retainer uncovered details about Tang Zhong’s na and imdiately relayed the truth within their families.
As a result, those families quickly declared within themselves that this Divine Dragon General was not to be provoked under any circumstances.
Very soon, Tang Zhong’s na beca a taboo across Xuanguan Sea.
No matter the family, whenever their mbers encountered Tang Zhong, they would avoid him at all costs.
Many families even instructed their young mbers to build good relationships with him.
After having a al with Bai Xiaochun, they parted ways in haste.
Peng Yuan walked out of the restaurant with Tang Zhong.
It was clear Peng Yuan was in a particularly good mood.
The Dragon Group sent soone over to pick them up, but General Peng Yuan firmly declined the offer.
The scenes around Xuanguan Sea were quite picturesque.
From afar, the streets looked vibrant and lovely.
The red lanterns and green surroundings were brimming with prosperity.
A bridge connected Xuanguan Sea to Xuanjing City, with an artificial river flowing beneath it.
Because the enfeoffnt eting lasted a long ti, it was already nightti, and the area had few vehicles left.
The two walked across the bridge, looking like a pair of old friends.
“Little Tang, you perford exceptionally well today,” Peng Yuan said with a wide grin.
“Not at all,” Tang Zhong replied, smiling back.
He held imnse respect for this elder of the Dragon Group.
“You outshone by far in my day.
You know, back then, it was the sa for .
The sons from those aristocratic families sat high and mighty on judge’s seats, scrutinizing .
I was so nervous—and furious—but I didn’t dare retaliate.
As a result, my enfeoffnt ceremony as the Cavalry General beca a lifelong regret,” Peng Yuan said with a touch of lancholy.
Tang Zhong picked up on the hint of helplessness in the old general’s voice.
“But today, you breathed life back into !
You made all those bastards shut their mouths!
Hahaha!
Seeing those people from the great families so disgruntled made incredibly happy,” Peng Yuan exclaid.
Tang Zhong couldn’t help but grin.
“Actually, I’d planned for us to share a drink,” Peng Yuan suddenly remarked, pulling out two bottles of Chinese liquor from who knows where.
He handed Tang Zhong a cup: “Drink.”
“Alright,” Tang Zhong readily took the cup.
“It’s been a really joyous day for ,” Peng Yuan said, opening a bottle and gulping down a hearty swig.
“I can tell—it’s already the third ti you’ve told that,” Tang Zhong chuckled.
“Haha.”
“You know, I just really like you, kid.
You remind of my younger self.
Back in the day, when fighting for the country, those people from Bei Country would tremble whenever they saw .
I killed them until they scread in terror.
Just the sight of sent them fleeing!”
“That’s incredible,” Tang Zhong said, raising his thumb in admiration.
“Do you know why I can’t stand those so-called noble families?” Peng Yuan suddenly stopped, his tone shifting.
Tang Zhong shook his head, sensing there was more to the story.
“Because those bastards are nothing but motherless dogs!
A bunch of self-serving brats.
They are unworthy of being called citizens of Xuan Country,” Peng Yuan suddenly shouted furiously.
“What exactly happened back then?” Tang Zhong asked.
At that ti, Tang Zhong wasn’t even born yet and knew nothing of past events.
“In those years of chaos, when facing the martial artists of Bei Country, we were completely powerless.”
Tang Zhong was stunned.
“Bei Country had martial artists?
But Xuan Country has martial artists too.
Why were we afraid of them?
From what I recall, weren’t families like Yan, Lei, Li, and Cheng renowned as martial artists back then?
They’re here in Xuanguan Sea now, so they must have contributed significantly during the war.
Plus, there’s Yan Chihuo.
With them around, why fear Bei Country?”
“Bullshit!
Those people were the absolute worst!
Do you know how many invitations it took—three tis begging at their doorsteps—just to persuade those families to stand up and fight for Xuan Country?
And yet those sons of bitches had the audacity to demand conditions.
Have you ever seen people negotiating terms while the nation is on the brink of disaster?
Are they even human?” Peng Yuan roared.
Tang Zhong had never imagined events could have unfolded like this.
Peng Yuan’s words could not be false.
If that were the case, those families truly were scum!
How could anyone make demands when the country was in peril?
“Dammit!” Tang Zhong cursed, unable to hold it in.
“General, what were their conditions?”
“Just one—that they must beco founding fathers of the nation.
Their descendants had to be born generals.
Yes, their aid made them legitimate founding fathers, and we common folk had no objections to that.
But do you know what else those bastards demanded?
They insisted on never mingling with us commoners, aning no ordinary person could beco a general.
Even if we achieved monuntal feats, it’d still be impossible for us to gain the title of general!”
“This…
this is outrageous!” Tang Zhong gritted his teeth.
“Initially, there was resistance.
After all, everyone was a hero back then.
But Bei Country invaded, and we had no choice but to agree.
With martial artists stepping in, the national crisis was resolved quickly.
The Yan, Lei, Li, and Cheng families ascended to true aristocracy, while people like us were relegated to lackeys,” Peng Yuan explained.
“Honestly, I wouldn’t have minded that too much.”
“But after establishing Xuan Country and implenting new rules, you already know what happened.
They finally decided to grant the title of Cavalry General to make up for my contributions that went unrecognized back then.
Yet during my enfeoffnt, those aristocrats berated and criticized relentlessly.
Do you know why?
Because we were commoners.
They refused to associate with us.
We were rely peasant uprising leaders in their eyes, unworthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with them as generals.
I despised the air of superiority martial artists carried, so I founded the Dragon Group to prove to those so-called elites that life doesn’t tolerate such shalessness.
And you—you made so proud, you know.
Seeing you stand on that stage and cuss out those aristocrats, watching their faces twist in disgust—I felt so elated.
Karma is real.
Heaven shows no rcy to those who deserve none.
Hahaha!” Peng Yuan broke into hearty laughter.
