…
"You flatter me!"
Qin Fang was neither servile nor overbearing. He was neither happy nor proud … He only looked at Tang Ao calmly and waited for his next move.
"You killed an elder of the Tang Sect. That's a capital offense …"
The more he acted like this, the more Tang Ao admired Qin Fang. He stroked his beard and fell silent for a moment before he slowly said, "However, on account of your courage at such a young age, this old man will give you a chance …"
"Sect Master …"
Tang Ao's words caused the expressions of many people present to change slightly. This was especially true for the half-dead Tang Bin. His eyes suddenly widened as he used all of his strength to open his mouth and cry out.
Unfortunately, who was Tang Ao?
He was the Sect Master of the Tang Sect, a mid-stage Supreme-Being. How could he be controlled so easily?
He didn't even look at Tang Bin. He just waved his hand casually. Tang Bin couldn't even say a word … Firstly, he didn't have the strength to do so. Secondly, he didn't have the courage to do so. Even if he was going to die, he still didn't dare to do so.
Tang Ao had been the Sect Master of the Tang Sect since he was forty years old. He had led the Tang Sect for forty years. Although he didn't lead the Tang Sect to glory again, he had maintained the Tang Sect's reputation in the pugilistic world. The reputation that he had accumulated was something that others couldn't compare to.
Moreover, this old man was known for his ruthlessness after so many years …
"Please speak …"
Qin Fang didn't react as strongly as the Tang Sect disciples towards Tang Ao's attitude. He only calmly expressed his opinion.
Now, he was at a disadvantage. Naturally, the Tang Sect would be the one to raise the conditions … It seemed like Tang Ao had compromised a little, but as long as the conditions weren't raised, nothing could be said.
"Two options …"
The Tang Sect disciples kept quiet. Only then did Tang Ao slowly raise two fingers and say, "First, you can choose a girl from the Tang Sect's direct line of descent and marry her … I'll treat this crime as if it never happened!"
"Hiss …"
As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone around took a deep breath. They all looked at Tang Ao in surprise, and then looked at Qin Fang … Surprise, envy, jealousy, all kinds of emotions were clearly expressed.
Even Jian Qingfeng, who was by Qin Fang's side, was incomparably shocked …
However, most of the time, he lowered his head and frowned in contemplation …
"Junior Brother Qin, this … is feasible!"
Then, he whispered something to Qin Fang …
There were some things that Qin Fang might not be clear about, but Jian Qingfeng was much more clear about it … A woman from the Tang Sect's direct line of descent had a much higher status in the Tang Sect than a male disciple from the branch family. There had even been a precedent of a woman from the direct line of descent becoming an elder of the Tang Sect!
Of course, that kind of situation was rarely seen in a hundred years!
Firstly, the chances of a female disciple becoming a top-notch expert were much lower. Secondly, such female disciples were usually unmarried.
A married daughter was like water that had been poured out!
Although the Tang Sect's direct line of descent usually did not marry outside, even if it was a marriage between the direct line of descent, it was the same as leaving the line of descent. Their thoughts might not be with their own line of descent … Therefore, it was very difficult for such a woman to become an elder no matter how high her cultivation was.
As for a married woman, it was very, very rare …
Tang Ao's condition was almost an exception … However, his goal was also very obvious. He wanted to pull a monstrous genius like Qin Fang into the Tang Sect's camp. Even if he could not enter the sect, he would at least be related by marriage!
With this relationship, not only would the Tang Sect be related to Qin Fang, but it would also be much closer to the Kunlun Sect and the five great sects … This was a great opportunity for the Tang Sect, but it was also a great opportunity for the Kunlun Sect.
Tang Ao was indeed an old fox who had lived for more than eighty years. He had immediately grasped the most crucial point!
At least Jian Qingfeng had heard this suggestion. Even if he could not completely represent the Kunlun Sect, he knew that this was a good thing … A good thing that could turn the crisis in front of them into great joy. Naturally, he also persuaded Qin Fang to agree.
"Junior Brother Qin, as far as I know, there are not many direct line of descent females in the Tang Sect. There seems to be only one who is still unmarried …"
Jian Qingfeng carefully recalled for a moment. His eyes inadvertently swept across old man Tang Ao's face before he reminded him in a soft voice, "Tang Yi … One of the Four Great Beauties of the Tang Sect, the granddaughter of old man Tang Ao!"
Jian Qingfeng also understood Tang Ao's goal when he understood this point!
This old fox had directly pushed out his own granddaughter. It was clear that he had put in a lot of capital this time!
To put it bluntly, he had forced Qin Fang to negotiate this time not because he wanted to kill Qin Fang at all. He wanted to keep such an outstanding martial artist in the Tang Sect … If not for the fact that Qin Fang was a disciple of the Kunlun Sect, which surprised him, he might not have changed his mind at all!
As long as this matter was settled, then all the other grudges would just be minor details …
Tang Bin?
Who cares if he died!
No one in the Tang Sect dared to go against Tang Ao's words … Even Tang Bin's backer, the Grand Supreme Elder of the Tang Sect who did not care about the truth, did not dare to have any say in the decision of the Tang Family Head.
Not to mention, this old fellow only had half his life left, and he would soon die. What kind of trouble could he come up with?
"That's impossible …"
However, Qin Fang shook his head very decisively and rejected Tang Ao's suggestion!
"You …"
Qin Fang's answer shocked everyone. Jian Qingfeng's eyes widened, and the other Tang Sect disciples were all dumbfounded … Even Tang Ao himself was shocked by Qin Fang's choice.
"Junior Brother Qin … Why don't … Why don't you reconsider?"
Jian Qingfeng was also a little anxious. If there were not so many people here, he really wanted to pull Qin Fang aside and persuade him …
"There's no need …"
Qin Fang did not give him a chance and rejected him without hesitation.
Qin Fang naturally knew what this old fox Tang Ao was planning … Although the beauty called Tang Yi was probably not any less beautiful than Tang Xin, and such a beauty was the dream of many men, to Qin Fang, it was completely meaningless.
Firstly, they did not even know each other, so there was no basis for feelings!
Secondly, Qin Fang already had many women by his side, and almost all of them were stunning beauties. He was already very immune to women's charms, and was not like those lustful people who were blinded by lust … Furthermore, this old fox Tang Ao clearly had other tricks up his sleeve, and he did not want to fall for it.
Tang Ao, the old fox, stared deeply at Qin Fang for a long time. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through Qin Fang. It was as if his eyes were vaguely releasing flames of fury. That kind of imposing manner also pressured Qin Fang …
This time, Tang Ao did not deliberately control the range of his aura, and Jian Qingfeng, who was beside Qin Fang, was also affected …
However, he did not explode in the end. Instead, he sighed softly and continued, "The second option is a forbidden area in the Tang Sect, called the Poison Dragon Lair …"
"Hiss …"
As soon as Tang Ao said this, the expressions of the surrounding Tang Sect disciples changed drastically, and some of them even showed fear in their eyes … Jian Qingfeng noticed the change in their expressions, and suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed instantly.
"In the depths of the Poison Dragon Lair, there grows a strange flower called the Black Demon Flower … As long as you pick this Black Demon Flower and hand it to me, the grudges between the Tang Sect and you, Qin Fang, will be written off!"
Only then did Tang Ao slowly bring up the second option that the Tang Sect had given him.
"Black Demon Flower?"
Qin Fang repeated slowly.
"That's right, the Black Demon Flower … Its color is pure black, and its appearance is quite recognizable. As long as you see it, you will definitely recognize it!"
Tang Ao nodded gently and said with a smile.
"Alright!"
At this time, Qin Fang nodded slightly and said.
"Qin Fang!"
However, Jian Qingfeng could not help but jump up and say anxiously, "You can't agree!
That Poison Dragon Lair … "
Jian Qingfeng was really anxious this time, and he even changed the way he addressed Qin Fang.
Putting aside the fact that Qin Fang had rejected the previous relatively peaceful and stable condition, the Tang Sect's forbidden grounds, the Poison Dragon Lair … was a famous and dangerous place in the entire martial world. It was rumored that a Poison Dragon lived in the Poison Dragon Lair!
Dragons were terrifying existences with outstanding strength …
Although the Poison Dragon couldn't be considered as the purest Divine Dragon, it still possessed the bloodline of the Dragon Clan. Its strength was also abnormally terrifying … The Spirit Beast King level was considered a humiliation to it. It was definitely an expert at the Supreme Spirit Beast level, or even stronger!
No one could tell whether this rumor was true or false!
However, the Tang Sect's forbidden grounds, the Poison Dragon Lair, was indeed one of the few dangerous places in the martial world … Countless experts had entered it, and there was no lack of Supreme Spirit Beasts with outstanding strength. It was not a big deal to be in the outer area of the Poison Dragon Lair, but almost none of the experts who entered it walked out alive!
Even Supreme Spirit Beasts could not walk out alive, so it was easy to imagine how dangerous the Poison Dragon Lair was …
Jian Qingfeng had never heard of the Black Demon Flower, but Tang Ao had already said that this Black Demon Flower grew in the depths of the Poison Dragon Lair … Just this point alone was enough to show how dangerous the Poison Dragon Lair was.
In addition to the enmity between the Tang Sect and Qin Fang, Tang Ao's plan was very obvious …
Jian Qingfeng could ignore the purpose of Tang Ao's two paths, but he definitely did not want Qin Fang to jump into such a trap … No matter if it was Qin Fang's senior brother or Qin Fang's best friend, he had to stop Qin Fang from making such a choice!
