"What were you thinking just now, do you want Tang Rao to kill you directly?"
The Black Demon reproached Leng Pengfei for his reckless behavior.
"Master, I thought Tang Rao would be easy to deal with, unfortunately I couldn't see Tang Rao's strength. By the ti I reacted, I nearly beca one of his victims."
Black Demon stood with hands behind his back in front of Leng Pengfei, feeling anxious.
"Tang Rao is becoming more powerful. If you don't eliminate him now, he will beco a threat to you, and his weapon might be aid directly at your life."
Black Demon explained to Leng Pengfei.
Is it really that severe?
Although Leng Pengfei was heavily brainwashed by Black Demon, it wasn't as terrifying as Black Demon just said. Why did Tang Rao almost succeed earlier? Not because Leng Pengfei thought he was much stronger than Tang Rao, which made him fearful. Now it's different, with no fear in his heart, facing Tang Rao is naturally much easier.
"Think things aren't as serious as you imagined? Then look at the mountain just shattered by Tang Rao, an entire mountain turned to dust without a single stone left. What does that an, can you do it?"
When Leng Pengfei turned back, there was no mountain, only dust still lingering, Tang Rao still shrouded within it. Leng Pengfei, who escaped earlier, was still feeling restless.
He couldn't, at least when punching a mountain, he wasn't sure if it would move or not. But Tang Rao was different, the ability to shatter a mountain alone showed that Tang Rao is much stronger than Leng Pengfei.
"Go back and train, don't continue to embarrass yourself outside."
Fortunately, this ti outside, Leng Pengfei was under Black Demon's watchful eye, so Black Demon didn't take any harsh asures nor punished Leng Pengfei for not taking Tang Rao's life.
What good would punishnt do? Even Black Demon underestimated Tang Rao, thinking he was only mid-level celestial, while Leng Pengfei was lower-level celestial. Taking a mid-level celestial's life should be simple, yet this mid-level celestial beat Leng Pengfei so bad, who could match that?
Aside from admitting defeat, pursuing responsibility now seed slightly delayed.
Tang Rao watched Black Demon take Leng Pengfei away, cursing, "Bullshit."
This Black Demon is bullshit. Tang Rao could have easily dealt with Leng Pengfei, it's all Black Demon's fault Tang Rao didn't succeed.
Having a powerful boss above is really nice, at least in tis of crisis, soone pulls Leng Pengfei out, but when sothing happens to Tang Rao, who would pull him out?
"Tang Rao, well done!"
Upon returning to the Kao Shan Sect, Granny Hua was the first to praise Tang Rao.
"I thought if you couldn't handle it, I would take you with . Didn't expect you did it."
ntioning this, Granny Hua felt like applauding.
"I thought no one would want to take , thinking about you taking , I'm touched indeed."
A grown man, didn't cry when beaten nearly to death, but just hearing Granny Hua's words brought tears to his eyes.
He thought no one needed him, but it seems he has a dependable mountain.
"Why say such things, I'm so powerful, nobody can beat . I just didn't want to fight him."
Concealing vulnerability, Tang Rao comforted himself.
"Alright, after that battle, you'll have a hard ti keeping a low profile lately."
Granny Hua wasn't sure whether this was a blessing or a curse, as power attracts challenges. Whether Tang Rao accepts or declines them, future troubles loom, she dared not consider it further.
"The commotion just now made our Kao Shan Sect look impressive. But I don't know if they'll give my sect mbers so respect, and not antagonize them."
Tang Rao's followers were with him through tough tis, he'd regret it if anything happened to them.
"Tang Rao, you're mistaken."
Granny Hua felt sorry for Tang Rao one mont, then shook her head at his softness the next.
"Mistaken about what?"
Tang Rao didn't quite understand Granny Hua's aning.
"You're confusing juniors with seniors, juniors are juniors, seniors are seniors. Rember that. I've observed that in the Kao Shan Sect these past days. Do you think all 200 mbers are wholly devoted to you and diligent?"
As the sect grew, it beca harder for Tang Rao to manage, with people divided among Xiao Yue, Cha Xiangzi, Geng Bucuo, and Lu Jun.
Even Holy Emperor Dong and others, Tang Rao hadn't asked about for a long ti, hoping for stability in the sect without considering how the others were doing.
"Granny Hua, do you know sothing?"
Tang Rao inquired.
Granny Hua spoke plainly, not minding clarifying further:
"Your people have joined the Kao Shan Sect but are dissatisfied with your leadership, starting their own factions. I wonder when you'll notice anything unusual."
Granny Hua sighed.
These trivial matters shouldn't concern Tang Rao, how people rebel or start factions aren't his issues. On the contrary, them starting factions benefits him, freeing him from supporting them. But as a contributor, he has the right to know the truth.
"Starting factions?"
Tang Rao lowered his head, unsure what to say.
"Yes, starting factions, didn't you know?"
Tang Rao shook his head.
He hadn't enough ti to pay attention, so people starting their factions didn't surprise him.
"Can you tell who they are?"
This ti, Granny Hua shook her head.
"As for who they are, I think it's better for you to investigate yourself. That's for your own good, allowing you to understand Kao Shan Sect inside out, rebuild bonds with your comrades, especially since you're relatively free lately, why not now?"
Though Granny Hua seed odd usually, what she said convinced Tang Rao, drastically changing his impression of her.
"I understand."
Tang Rao returned to his courtyard, changing into his usual casual clothes, heading to the battle arena in the afternoon.
Beside the training ground, this was a newly built area by Tang Rao.
Inside the arena, Geng Bucuo and Cha Xiangzi were fiercely dueling.
"Boss, you're here?"
The two sparring stopped simultaneously when they saw Tang Rao, showing more respect for him.
"I just ca to watch, carry on, no problem."
Geng Bucuo and Cha Xiangzi exchanged glances but didn't resu sparring.
"How are the brothers doing lately?"
Seeing them not spar any longer, Tang Rao dusted himself off and walked towards them.
