"Let's go, you don't belong here."
Tang Rao had thought about it, leaving these people might not matter if they don't grow, but once they do, they would beco a great threat to the Kao Shan Sect.
"Tang Rao, you selfish man, being with you was never a good ending. We're leaving."
Lei Xiao had thought, Tang Rao would certainly not let him stay here. The priority was to gather a group of people for support; otherwise, going out alone would end badly for him!
"Why leave? If we hadn't believed your words, we wouldn't have ended up like this. If anyone's leaving, it's you!"
Dozens of people who were swayed ca to their senses. They knew what they could gain from the Kao Shan Sect. Outside, they might not be able to gain as much. Leaving now would be pushing precious resources to the outside!
"Indeed, if you hadn't recklessly spread rumors about the Kao Shan Sect being on the decline, would we have listened to you?"
What does it feel like to be isolated and helpless? Perhaps it's this feeling.
"You're all not leaving? Then I'll go first. Do you think I leave, and you can stay? Let tell you, I, Lei Xiao, will return one day. Just wait!"
Lei Xiao still wants revenge?
Even if you want revenge, why say it in front of Tang Rao, knowing that he always avenges his grievances? Tang Rao wouldn't leave any threats behind. Saying this is akin to seeking death, isn't it?
"You say you'll return? Does this an you want revenge?"
Tang Rao smiled like Maitreya, appearing kind and amiable.
But behind this amiable facade, he harbored discontent towards Lei Xiao.
"If you don't kill today, Tang Rao, one day I will kill you! Don't think your strength is unbeatable. Soday I'll surpass you and beco stronger than you."
The strongest?
With Lei Xiao's current strength?
He's still at the mid-stage of a lower god?
"You're at mid-stage lower god? If I didn't bring you out, could you have beco that?"
Tang Rao was embarrassed to continue speaking.
"The strength I have now is earned by my efforts and has nothing to do with you. Don't self-flatter!"
Every word Lei Xiao uttered was filled with deep dissatisfaction towards Tang Rao. If he didn't speak out, Tang Rao wouldn't have known his little brother had such strong opinions against him.
Tang Rao got angry, and with a backhanded palm strike, he drew Lei Xiao into his grasp.
He clutched Lei Xiao's neck, and Lei Xiao suddenly couldn't move.
He underestimated Tang Rao. He never imagined Tang Rao's strength was so overwhelming that he couldn't resist.
"Lei Xiao, I'm a person who never holds grudges. I settle them on the spot."
With his hand on Lei Xiao's neck, a slight pressure from Tang Rao and Lei Xiao would lose his life imdiately.
Tang Rao had such ambition; if others bullied him or had thoughts of doing so, he'd want to kill them.
Lei Xiao was crushed to death! Crushed to death!
...
"What about you all, will you leave or not?"
Not leaving ans death!
"We'll go, we'll leave right away!"
Leave imdiately!
More than thirty people, not one dared to stay behind.
"Boss, our Kao Shan Sect suddenly has so many fewer people. Should we recruit so?"
Xiao Yue understood the importance of maintaining internal balance within the Kao Shan Sect. As soon as they lost people, she imdiately beca worried.
"Yes, not only recruit but find powerful ones. We're not short on money or resources for cultivation, only on strong individuals!"
As Tang Rao's strength grew rapidly, more people began to pay attention to him. Most who did wanted his life, so how could Tang Rao manage without finding a few more people to protect him?
"Strong individuals? Any specific criteria?"
Xiao Yue asked.
"At least mid-stage middle god. Keeping those weaker than would be like adopting grandsons."
Having raised a group of weak ingrates already, he didn't want to do it again.
If strong ones wanted to rebel, it would be a chance for Tang Rao to train, facing challenging foes would serve as a platform to hone himself.
But he more so wanted to find strong brothers.
After all, who suffers the most when those painstakingly cultivated suddenly disappear? It's Tang Rao!
"I'll take care of it right away!"
Tang Rao appreciated Xiao Yue's efficiency, always providing him with a perfect response.
This is also why Tang Rao favored Xiao Yue and wanted to support her.
"Gentlen, I see your loyalty to , Tang Rao, and your intentions are clear to . As long as I, Tang Rao, remain successful, I won't let my brothers suffer. Let's continue to thrive together and strive to make the Kao Shan Sect the strongest family."
Tang Rao's heroic spirit filled the room, and everyone cheered for him.
"Well done, Boss! We followed the right leader. We'll never betray you in our lifeti!"
The Kao Shan Sect, with over a hundred people, may be small, but their loyalty to Tang Rao was genuine, and his efforts to find treasures for them, too, were voluntary.
The evaluation ended, and seeing the brothers' strength at the sa ti
allowed Tang Rao to understand everyone's true intentions, making it worthwhile for him.
With a wave, Tang Rao dismissed them all, leaving only himself and Lei Xiao's body.
Betrayers never have good endings. Tang Rao ordered Lei Xiao's body to be thrown at the Burial Mound, which would be his final resting place.
"Tang Rao, where are you going?"
Granny Hua approached Tang Rao.
He didn't even notice when she arrived.
"I have nowhere specific in mind, just going back to cultivate."
After dealing with such a big group, Tang Rao suddenly felt an emptiness within that was hard to describe.
"I've experienced betrayals by my own brothers before. But everyone has their own thoughts and paths. Their choices can't be blad on you!"
Granny Hua, comforting Tang Rao with such deep words, almost made him feel like he was dreaming.
"I didn't overthink it; you're the one overthinking."
To avoid Granny Hua's mockery, Tang Rao learned to deny at all costs.
"Assu I am. But you can't go out yet, co with to et soone."
When she grabbed Tang Rao, he couldn't move, not daring to even voice disagreent.
"Granny Hua, if you're taking to et soone, shouldn't you tell who it is?"
If he t soone questionable, as an upright person, he couldn't possibly associate with them.
"To et an old friend of mine."
Granny Hua's old friend?
Tang Rao never expected Granny Hua to have what you'd call friends.
Despite thinking this, he dared not say more.
Gripped by Granny Hua, flying through the clouds, Tang Rao, usually so bold, couldn't muster the courage to open his eyes and look below due to her speed.
"Granny Hua, can't you go slower? I'm getting airsick!"
