Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting
#262 - Empty Stone
Pfft!
Sixfold Wind Restraint landed on the Huang family's fifth-rank expert.
Their arrow-like speed immediately slowed to a snail's pace.
Afterimages intertwined, and a hurricane roared!
The Huang family's fifth-rank expert continuously used Instant Steps, their figure flickering, sometimes visible, sometimes not, as they rushed into the distance.
Doppelgangers, Instant Steps, Wind Manipulation…
All escape methods were used, one by one.
Multiple figures appeared in the sky simultaneously, scattering in different directions to escape.
Buzz~
A trembling sound echoed.
Tang Wen rapidly launched attacks with both hands, moving so fast that only afterimages could be seen.
Gravel vibrated violently in the air, sparks burst forth, and a series of flying stones shot out.
It was like a continuous line of fire traced by anti-aircraft guns in the night sky!
Pfft!
The gravel struck the Huang family's fifth-rank expert's fleeing figure, and the entire figure instantly disappeared.
It was a doppelganger.
Pfft pfft pfft!
Tang Wen shattered five doppelgangers in the blink of an eye, leaving the real body exposed.
Five white tigers pounced together.
Tiger Seven revealed its true form, its body expanding with the wind, resembling an ancient behemoth!
Not to mention others, even Tang Wen was stunned.
The white tiger was like a mountain, opening its massive mouth to roar, creating a visible shockwave.
Great sound is often silent.
The tiger's roar clearly contained a mental attack.
The Huang family's fifth-rank expert, who had fled less than three miles, collapsed to the ground.
Three white tigers and two White Tiger Tribe guards swarmed forward.
Bai Ningbing and a dozen others were completely dumbfounded.
When did fifth-rank experts become so worthless?
Even in White Stone City, mobilizing six or seven fifth-rank experts at once was extremely rare.
The others were in chaos, wanting to run but not daring to, trembling and not knowing what to do.
Bai Ningbing, being from a fourth-rank family, composed herself and asked in Tang Wen's direction, "Young Master, is there some misunderstanding between us? I am Bai Ningbing, the direct daughter of the Bai family from White Stone City."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a voice sneering, "Misunderstanding?! Sister Ningbing! There is no misunderstanding between us, only a blood feud!"
Bai Ningbing's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look ahead, where a white-clothed woman had appeared a hundred meters away at some point.
"Bai Youruo?!" she exclaimed, her composure lost.
A hint of ferocity flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"You actually mobilized so many fifth-rank experts?!"
Bai Ningbing was momentarily speechless, her expression complex.
It was as if she had seen something unbelievable.
"The Seventh Young Master's branch of your family has been struggling in this desolate Northwest for so long, so you found such powerful allies. In that case, why did you let Bai Shuo come to die that night?"
This rhetorical question was quite venomous.
As a direct daughter of the Bai family, Bai Ningbing naturally possessed excellent character and ability.
After calming down, she realized the problem.
She had seen Tang Wen's portrait many times and now remembered his identity.
The Blackwater Gang's Seventh Young Master, the most handsome young man in Ganshan City, the man favored by the White Tiger Tribe's Holy Maiden!
So, it wasn't Bai Youruo who was powerful.
It was Tang Wen who was powerful.
Therefore, it was best to sow discord between them.
Bai Youruo was indeed furious, "You're spouting nonsense! What 'sent to die'! The Bai family rules state that in the struggle for succession, fifth-rank experts cannot be used, and colluding with outsiders to harm family members is punishable by death! You're doomed!"
Bai Ningbing curled her lips, "Now that you have the power, and I'm in your hands, of course you can say whatever you want. However, I'm not alone."
She pointed her finger, and the Bai family exploration team fell silent like cicadas in winter.
They all avoided Bai Youruo's gaze, lowering their heads and trembling.
Yes, these people were also indirectly responsible for the death of Uncle Shuo and the others.
A cold light flashed in Bai Youruo's eyes.
Tang Wen, watching the two women, suddenly interjected, "Ganshan City has a Heart-Questioning Stone that can distinguish truth from lies. Your White Stone City should have similar methods as well."
Bai Ningbing's face stiffened, and she looked at Tang Wen, smiling bitterly, "I've long heard of Young Master Tang's great name. I don't know what this woman Bai Youruo promised you. At this moment, Ningbing dares not lie. Whatever Sister Youruo can promise you, I can too. What she cannot promise you, I can also promise. I beg Young Master Tang Wen to consider it. Our faction is much stronger than theirs."
Tang Wen didn't mince words, looking at Bai Ningbing, who could definitely be considered a beauty, "I believe everything you say, but Miss Youruo and I are friends who have gone through thick and thin together. Moreover, you don't play by the rules and resort to any means to achieve your goals. If I were to ally with you, I'd probably have to constantly guard against being betrayed by you."
Bai Ningbing was stunned, not knowing how to explain.
Because Tang Wen was right.
She was indeed that kind of person.
However, sticking to principles was too difficult.
Wasn't it good to take shortcuts?
Everyone was doing it.
Only fools like Bai Youruo would still be thinking about family rules from tens of thousands of miles away.
The victor is always right.
If I win, who would care about my methods?
If I hadn't been unlucky, I would have already won.
She closed her eyes, her heart frustrated and chaotic.
Bai Youruo personally administered Soft Fragrance Powder to everyone, including Bai Ningbing.
Then, she came to Tang Wen to discuss countermeasures.
"I plan to bring my own people here, first to get a confession, and then to take Bai Ningbing back. Second, to establish an alliance between our Bai family and you."
Tang Wen looked at her, "When you say 'us,' who are you referring to?"
"The Blackwater Gang, the Boulder Martial Hall, and the White Tiger Tribe, which you represent."
"The former two are easy to agree to, but as for the White Tiger Tribe, I need to ask the Holy Maiden."
"Yes, it's good that you don't object."
Bai Youruo had also become smarter. The White Tiger Tribe and White Stone City were more than tens of thousands of miles apart.
There were no conflicting interests between them.
An alliance was just a verbal agreement.
Commercial exchange was possible, but relying on a true alliance and frequent interactions was unrealistic.
Tang Wen understood this principle as well.
It was like the international landscape of his previous life: the first and second strongest countries could never form an alliance.
What Bai Youruo wanted was just a title.
Their Bai family was currently vying for succession.
As long as Bai Youruo announced that she had allied with a fourth-rank force for the family, it would be a great achievement.
"Boy, you've struck gold!"
The two were talking when Tiger Seven and the other fifth-rank experts returned.
As for the Huang family's fifth-rank expert's fate, there was no need to mention it.
"What?" Tang Wen looked puzzled. What did he strike gold on?
Thud!
A dark stone fell in front of him.
Shi Lei on the other side looked envious, "Void Stone. Have you heard of it? That old man Huang San'er actually had a Void Stone! Quickly probe it with your mental power and see how big it is inside and what's inside."
Envious as he was, Huang San'er was killed entirely by the Tiger Tribe's fifth-rank experts.
Even if Shi Lei was thick-skinned, he couldn't snatch it.
"This is a Void Stone?" Tang Wen placed the stone in his palm, very curious.
He probed it with his mental power and suddenly discovered a space the size of a hall.
It was filled with many things.
Gold, silver, silver notes, food, medicinal herbs, furs…
They were useful, but they weren't surprising treasures.
Tang Wen took the things out.
Everyone, including the white tigers, was uninterested, not even looking at them.
Shi Lei ridiculed, "It seems that Huang San'er used all his savings to exchange for this Void Stone. It's really cheap for you."
"Haha, this trip wasn't a waste after all."
Tang Wen hid the things close to his body.
With the Void Stone, he could steal fragrance and jade, well, he could act more freely in secret.
After some discussion, Tang Wen helped people to the end.
He decided to take Bai Ningbing and the others back to his territory first.
As for Bai Youruo, she took the initiative to say, "I'll return to White Stone City and bring the family experts."
The journey was long, and she couldn't go alone.
Tang Wen thought for a moment and looked at Tiger Nine, who was eating meat.
The latter immediately raised its furry tiger head and lifted its tiger paw, "I'll go?"
"White Stone City has ten kinds of fine wine," Tang Wen said, drawing a tempting picture.
Tiger Nine glanced at him and looked at Bai Youruo.
The latter said, "There are various rice wines, yellow wines, white wines, and beers. Senior White Tiger can drink to your heart's content."
"Then I'll make another trip."
"Elder Tang, it's not appropriate for the white tiger to act alone."
A guard spoke.
Tang Wen smiled warmly at her, "How about you accompany him on a trip?"
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ says ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ books ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!
"Okay," she thought for a moment and agreed.
On the way back, they split into two groups.
The speed was much slower.
Tiger Seven needed to control the hurricane to carry Bai Ningbing and the others.
The speed naturally couldn't be fast.
Fortunately, the team also had another White Tiger Guard.
The three wind department fifth-rank experts took turns, traveling day and night. After a few days, they finally returned to the outer edge of Ganshan City's territory.
A day later, the group saw Ganshan City.
Tang Wen entered the city, found Li Zi and Liu Bing, and entrusted them with the task of guarding Bai Ningbing and the others.
Li Zi, the leader of the Thief Sect, believed that they could hide the people in the city.
Liu Bing, on the other hand, believed that it was better to hide the people outside the city on his territory.
Such as Tang Wen's mines or other camps.
In the end, Tang Wen made the decision, "Do as Liu Bing said. You can use medicine to restrict their mobility and not give them a chance to cause trouble!"
Liu Bing reminded, "Does the Young Master mean that we can weaken them to the point where they can't even stand up? But if we do that, I'm afraid it will leave irreparable damage."
"It doesn't matter, just do it."
Tang Wen wouldn't leave hidden dangers for himself.
Even if the Bai family didn't take these people away and kill them.
He wouldn't let them live.
Bai Ningbing and the Huang family allied, which meant they were standing against him.
Before leaving, Liu Bing also reported, "Young Master, Madam Lin's father and brothers have recovered. The courtyard where Madam Lin lives has also been renovated."
He waved his hand to let him leave.
Tang Wen's heart was on fire.
This ordeal took nearly ten days on the road.
He should relax now that he was back.
He called a female martial artist from the guard, "Go to Zhao Zhe's original courtyard, find Madam Lin, and tell her that I will visit tonight."
The female martial artist was from the Seven Kill Hall, and her character had long been tempered.
She didn't say a word when she heard the order, didn't ask why, and didn't even show curiosity.
She went to execute it directly.
Tang Wen instructed the kitchen to reward Tiger Nine and went to the Water Rhyme Residence.
"Junior Brother, was your trip successful?" The beautiful woman of Water personally poured a cup of tea.
There was no one in the house, and Tang Wen hugged her and kissed her for a while.
When their blood was surging, they separated and began to recount their experiences on this trip.
He told her everything, big and small, the arrangements before and after, including the 【Void Stone】 he obtained, one by one.
Now, the relationship between the two of them couldn't be summed up in a single sentence of lovers or fiancés.
In fact, it was much more complicated. The two should be considered a combination of interests.
They were more tightly bound than ordinary couples.
Shui Yun listened carefully. When she heard that the matter was settled, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The two cuddled for a while, drank a pot of tea, and she went to work again.
This time she was busy practicing.
Shui Yun had been stuck in the realm of a senior transcendent for a long time.
Recently, she felt a breakthrough opportunity. If she hadn't been worried about Tang Wen, she should have gone into seclusion long ago.
In the room, the beauty left, leaving Tang Wen alone.
Outside the window, the sun was setting.
He pushed the door open and left, hiding his tracks all the way to Zhao Zhe's original residence.
The ground was clean, sweeping away the previous dilapidation, and the places that needed to be repaired had also been repaired.
All the way inside, Tang Wen saw several servants carefully pulling weeds.
When they saw Tang Wen's arrival, they quickly bowed.
After a while, he came to the small building.
Smoke curled from the small building, and the maids were coming in and out.
It was much more lively than the last time when only Madam Lin and her servants were busy.
"Young Master is here!"
The female martial artist at the door shouted.
The door of the small building was pushed open, and a beautiful woman walked out quickly, her waist graceful, and her hands still stained with flour.
She blushed and walked to Tang Wen, saying softly, "I've been looking forward to your arrival."
"I've been busy. What are you making today?"
Lin Shi didn't avoid him, carefully crossed Tang Wen's arm, and said softly, "There are many dishes, but I'm making dumplings, venison filling."
Tang Wen smiled and looked at her jade-white face, deliberately asking, "Why venison?"
"Young Master doesn't like it?" Lin Shi looked at him carefully, her face uneasy.
"How could I not like something made by Madam's own hands?"
Lin Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "Venison is nourishing, and it's perfect for the cold weather."
"Haha, I see, then I'll nourish myself well today." Tang Wen was very satisfied with this answer.
In front of the maids and female guards, he gently patted that full moon.
Lin Shi was both ashamed and happy, her body softened, leaned on him, and the two squeezed forward.
Her treatment now was much better than the last time Tang Wen came.
The guards and maids began to please her again, and the news was not so blocked.
Knowing that Tang Wen had done great things and became an elder of the White Tiger Tribe.
After confirming that the news was accurate, she wanted Tang Wen to come every day.
Later, knowing that her father and brothers had been brought to the city to treat their injuries, she looked forward to it day and night.
After all, only when Tang Wen came, she could make a request to let her father and brothers meet her.
The house was heated by a fire dragon, and the heat was blowing.
But there were very few people, except for two beautiful maids, there was only the maid Lin I saw last time.
"Young Master!"
"Lin Suowei, greetings Young Master."
Tang Wen was stunned, and then remembered the last joke, "Call her Lin Hua from now on."
"Yes, thank you Young Master for naming me." The maid Lin was happy.
After all, even if she was a little maid, who would want to be called Lin Suowei? It was too ugly.
Lin Shi first helped Tang Wen take off his coat, then said with shy eyes, "Since you left last time, I've been idle and made two sets of clothes for you. I don't know if they fit."
"You're thoughtful. Let's try them on then."
Arriving in the inner room, he saw the clothes were a set of winter pajamas.
Tang Wen chuckled twice, changed into them, and came out to find the table full of food and wine.
Many of the dishes had been prepared in the afternoon, just waiting for him to arrive.
Tang Wen sat in the main seat, with Madam Lin sitting close beside him.
The Lin servant girl also took a cushion and knelt on the ground, accurately finding her place.
"Hiss!" Tang Wen put down his cup. "This wine has some character."
