Chapter 475: Corpses under the Tree

In a mansion in Lanqing City.

Lu Yeping is reporting to Zhao Mu the information she has collected about the Tang family.

Actually, there is not much.

After all, Lu Yeping has only been in Lanqing City for two days. Foreign cultivators here will be subject to great restrictions, and it is even more difficult to investigate the intelligence of the Tang family, so the information collected so far is limited to the surface.

But for Zhao Mu, it is enough.

The main forces of the Tang family are mostly concentrated in Lanqing City and surrounding areas.

The current head of the Tang family is named Tang Zhen, who is also the mayor of Lanqing City.

The heads of the Tang family are all direct descendants of the Tang family, and they have great power, but they have to rotate every hundred years. Tang Zhen has been in power for more than a year and will soon abdicate, so he is relatively low-key at present.

There are currently three powerful Tang family members active in Lanqing City.

They are Tang Yaqing, Tang Lunhai, and Tang Zhantian. These three are the best of the Tang family's core generation. Their cultivation is at the peak of the tribulation, and their talents in other aspects are also quite outstanding. They are the hot candidates for the next head.

In order to take over Tang Zhen's position as the head in a few years, these three have worked very hard in recent years and managed the affairs of the Tang family in an orderly manner.

But recently, Tang Zhantian's situation seems to be very bad.

His most valued child, Tang Fengyue, died in Jiangnan.

Tang Fengyue is the most favored child of the ancestor among the younger generation of direct descendants of the Tang family. Relying on this relationship, Tang Zhantian can also get a few more points of attention in front of the ancestor, which gives him a great advantage in the election of the next head.

But Tang Fengyue died, and the situation changed.

Tang Zhantian just learned this news, and he didn't dare to tell the ancestor, otherwise he would not be able to bear it when the ancestor was furious.

Although the pain of losing a son is hard to accept, Tang Zhantian is more afraid of his own ancestor. If he gets angry, he will be doomed.

Although he is also a direct descendant of the ancestor, there are so many direct descendants of the Tang family that it would not make any difference if he is missing.

In order to find out the reason before the ancestor knows about this, Tang Zhantian has sent many trusted elites to Jiangnan in the past few days.

But most of them were intercepted by Lu Yeping.

It was from these people that she got the current information of the Tang family.

"As a core member of the Tang family, Tang Zhantian is the most suitable breakthrough point."

Zhao Mu pondered for a moment and said, "The Immortal Binding Chain is still in your hands. If you use this item to lure Tang Zhantian alone outside Lanqing City, how much do you think I am?"

"The Immortal Binding Chain is a relic of Tang Fengyue. If Tang Zhantian sees it, he will definitely track it down. It should not be difficult to lure him out alone with this item." Lu Yeping said confidently.

"Okay, I'll give you this mission. We'll act tonight. I'll wait for you 500 miles outside the South City Gate." Zhao Mu ordered.

Lu Yeping nodded repeatedly, but looked embarrassed: "Master, the protective formation of Lanqing City is too tight. When entering and leaving, it will attract the attention of the patrolling swordsmen, leaving traces. I'm afraid it will cause too much alarm and ruin the master's plan."

"It's okay. I'll bless you so that you can enter and exit normally without being affected by the formation."

After that, Zhao Mu blessed everyone with the infinite law, and at the same time helped them to strengthen the concealment effect of their breath.

Lu Yeping was overjoyed: "In this way, I am 100% sure to lead Tang Zhantian out of the city."

"Go and prepare. It's still early. I'll go out for a walk alone. You can act according to the situation. I can sense it myself."

After that, Zhao Mu left the mansion and appeared on the busy street.

At this time, a large number of patrolling guards had appeared in the city, looking for something on the streets, but when they passed by Zhao Mu, they seemed to have not seen him at all.

Not to mention a group of minions, even if a powerful person who had passed the tribulation passed by, it would be difficult to detect Zhao Mu's existence.

He just swaggered around in Lanqing City, seemingly sightseeing aimlessly, but if someone who knew the inside story saw it, they would be surprised that the route Zhao Mu took was the location of the array eye and array vein of the Lanqing City defense array.

After a round of walking, it is no exaggeration to say that this Lanqing City has no secrets in front of Zhao Mu.

"The exquisiteness of this array is indeed remarkable, but it is too old, and the traces of patching are too obvious. It may not be difficult to resist the master, but with my array skills, it only takes two or three hours to fully control it." Zhao Mu murmured to himself.

But he did not intend to waste time and energy on the defense array.

There is only one person in the Tang family who can pose a threat to him.

That is the ancestor of the Tang family.

Last time in the Demon Sect, Zhao Mu almost killed Tang Zhi, one of the three supreme beings of the Tang family. It was the ancestor of the Tang family who saved Tang Zhi's life.

Although it was just a face-to-face encounter, Zhao Mu could feel that the strength of the ancestor of the Tang family was thousands of times stronger than Tang Zhi.

He was definitely at the peak of the Heavenly Man Realm.

If the Moon God had not appeared at that time, scaring the ancestor of the Tang family to flee, the entire Demon Sect would probably have been destroyed.

But now is different, Zhao Mu's strength is no longer as weak as it was before.

Now if Tang Zhi appears in front of him, Zhao Mu only needs a thought to make him fall into eternal damnation.

As for the ancestor of the Tang family, because he has never really fought, Zhao Mu cannot assert that he will definitely win.

But conservatively speaking, there is still an 80% chance of winning.

It's not that Zhao Mu is conceited, it's really that he holds the four supreme laws, plus a supreme law, Zhao Mu really can't see the possibility of losing.

To say that there is an 80% chance of winning is to be modest.

After all, the ancestor of the Tang family has broken through the Heavenly Man Realm for ten thousand years, and his accumulation of foundation must be quite profound. Who knows if he has any chances or adventures.

But before the war, Zhao Mu still needs to collect some secrets of the Tang family.

This will determine how Zhao Mu will deal with the Tang family in the end.

Is it to annihilate the nine clans, or to leave a glimmer of hope!

The sky gradually darkened.

The wind and rain came suddenly.

As the heavy rain fell, pedestrians on the street dispersed one after another. The wet air was mixed with the smell of dust, but no drop of water could get close to Zhao Mu.

He glanced in the direction of the inner city and knew that Lu Yeping had begun to contact Tang Zhantian.

The next second, Zhao Mu's figure disappeared with the wind.

Five hundred miles south of the city, there is a big banyan tree.

This banyan tree has a very strong growth momentum, several thousand meters high, and the diameter of the tree crown is more than ten thousand meters, covering the sky and blocking the sun, like a sacred tree.

Under the shade of the tree, there is a village of neither large nor small, but it has long been deserted, leaving only some building debris.

Zhao Mu leaned down and pinched a handful of soil on the ground.

As Zhao Mu kneaded it, a drop of bright red liquid seeped out of the soil, like blood.

The next second, a sword flashed.

The thick tree trunk with a diameter of hundreds of meters was cut off by Zhao Mu's sword.

With a loud rumbling sound, the big banyan tree collapsed, and the dust raised stretched for hundreds of miles.

Then, a huge mental force enveloped the roots of the big tree, pulling the huge roots out of the ground.

A strong smell of blood came to my nose.

Under the roots of the tree, there were skeletons everywhere, as many as a million!
