Two days later, Tang Ran indeed came to the Tang Clan.
However, Tang Ran didn't come alone. Behind him were over thirty Soul Sea Realm experts, all of the same cultivation level, and two Profound Void Realm experts.
"Tang Clan, today, I will definitely take back everything that belongs to me!"
Tang Ran stood outside the Tang Manor's gate, a perfect "?" curved at the corner of his mouth, looking as if he had victory in his grasp.
Tang Ao, who was enjoying "family bliss," heard that Tang Ran had come and immediately slapped the table, sternly saying, "Good! Gather all Tang Clan disciples, and follow me to kill this rebellious son of the Tang Clan!"
Ding Buer slurped down a mouthful of tender beef, then immediately stood up to comfort Tang Ao, "Father, please calm down. There's no need to hurt yourself over this little beast."
Tang Ao nodded with satisfaction, his gaze towards Ding Buer softening. He thought to himself: This son's appearance is a bit lacking, but he is truly filial to me, unlike the others, who only want to seize control of the Tang Clan.
"Third Brother, don't worry. Within the Tang Clan, no one can harm you in the slightest. Just watch how your father tears these beasts apart today to liven things up for you."
With that, he put down his chopsticks and flew off.
Hundreds of Tang Clan disciples stood ready, and all twelve houses of the Tang Family were present.
Looking at the Tang family members before him, Tang Ran simply smiled faintly and said proudly, "Today, I'm here to retrieve my mother's belongings. I advise you all not to get in my way!"
Tang Kun, the eleventh son of the Tang Family, immediately spoke up, "Tang Thirteen, your mother, that lowly woman, was long ago expelled from the Tang Clan. What belongings are you talking about? Since you're here today, then prepare to go to the underworld to accompany your mother!"
Tang Ran's expression changed, "How dare you insult my mother, Tang Kun! You good-for-nothing should have died a long time ago!"
As he finished speaking, Tang Ran raised his hand, and a shower of Golden Needles shot straight towards Tang Kun's face.
Pshhh, pshhh...
Tang Kun was startled and quickly pulled two Tang Clan disciples in front of him to shield him.
The moment the Golden Needles hit the two Tang Clan disciples, they immediately emitted puffs of black smoke. In just a moment, the two poor Tang Clan disciples had already died.
"Ouch, the Tang Clan's methods are truly ruthless, not even sparing their own people."
Ding Buer whispered to Shen Zhao, still feeling a lingering fear.
Shen Zhao shrugged, not surprised by anything he saw.
After all, the Tang Clan's principle was: a man is not a man if he isn't cruel.
"Tang Ran! How dare you attack people!"
Tang Ao saw Tang Ran acting so arrogant and sternly rebuked him.
"If you want to return to the Tang Clan, then kneel down and sever all ties with your slut of a mother."
Tang Ran's lips curled into a "?".
"You old coot, what right do you have to order me around? The Tang Clan? I can wipe them out with a wave of my hand!"
These words were spoken with great confidence, reminding Shen Zhao of Tang Ran's change in expression when he stopped holding back at the Pang family. It was exactly the same.
Tang Ao was also angered and shouted, "You little beast, how dare you speak to me like that? You've gotten bold, haven't you? I'd like to see how you destroy my Tang Clan today."
Tang Qin also chimed in, "Father, this boy must have lost his mind."
Tang Kun added, "He must have read too many of those urban fantasy novels and thinks he's a reborn dragon king."
Tang Ran sneered and decisively said to the Dragon King Hall's people behind him, "Today, I want the entire Tang Clan to be buried with my mother. Kill them all!"
Just then, Ding Buer rushed out to mediate, "Come on, come on, Thirteenth Nephew, give your uncle some face. We're all family, we can sit down and talk things over. Why resort to violence, huh?"
Tang Ran stared at Ding Buer, his pupils contracting after a long moment. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's you! You were at the Pang Manor..."
Ding Buer immediately jumped in, "You remember now? I told you I was your uncle, but you didn't believe me then. We're relatives, family."
Tang Ran raged, "Family? Who the hell is family with you!"
Ding Buer sighed, his eyes filled with sorrow. "Thirteenth, I know you resent me for not being around to take care of you all these years, for letting you suffer.
I don't blame you for having a grudge against me, but after all, the blood of my Tang Clan flows in your veins. Blood is thicker than water.
If you make such a big show of force, aren't you afraid of being called unfilial?"
Tang Ran looked stunned. Tang Ao said, "Third Brother, don't waste your breath on this ungrateful, white-eyed wolf. Our Tang Clan will not acknowledge this little bastard."
Ding Buer said helplessly, "Dad, we can't do this. The Tang Clan has some face to uphold. If people know we're squabbling like this amongst ourselves, won't we become a laughingstock?
I think Thirteen is a decent kid. Dad, just give him a chance."
Then he turned to Tang Ran and said, "Thirteen, why don't you quickly kowtow to your grandfather and apologize? Your uncle has been worrying himself sick over you."
Tang Ran's eyes turned green with anger, and he roared at Ding Buer, "You bastard, you're not fit to be my uncle! What are you?"
Tang Kun immediately chimed in, berating, "Tang Ran, how dare you disrespect your elders! You're just like that slut of a mother of yours!"
Tang Ao also said, "Tang Thirteen, you really are a wolf in sheep's clothing! Your uncle cares for you so much, and yet you dare to speak so viciously!"
Tang Ran was numb all over and roared, "Are you blind? Does this guy have anything to do with the Tang Clan? Do you know who he is? He's..."
"Don't say anymore!" Ding Buer looked sorrowful. "Thirteen, I know you look down on me, your uncle, an outsider, but I won't blame you. I really am doing this for your own good. Just give your uncle some face, and stop making a scene, okay?"
He immediately turned to Tang Ao and said, "Father, Shisan is still just a child. Don't hold it against him. It doesn't matter if he doesn't acknowledge me as his uncle. As long as he's willing to return to the clan, I'll call him nephew, and he can call me brother. We can each call the other by different titles, wouldn't that be great?"
Tang Ao's expression was moved. "Third, you have a truly kind heart. But your kindness cannot be given to such a heartless person. You don't need to worry about this. Leave it to me to handle."
After speaking, he immediately turned a cold face to Tang Ran and said, "Tang Shisan, since you've come here to offer yourself up to die today, you might as well stay."
Tang Ran's lips curled up. "Die? Humph, you don't think I'm still that abandoned son who can be bullied by the Tang Clan, do you? Today, I will not only reclaim my mother's relics, but also seek justice for my father and mother!"
The next moment, he waved his hand, "After today, the Tang Clan will change masters. Anyone who dares to obstruct me will be killed without mercy!"
Tang Ao was not to be outdone. "Tang Clan disciples, listen up! Today, we will clean up the clan!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
At a single command from both sides, the forces of the Tang Clan and the Dragon King Hall immediately engaged in a chaotic battle, locked in a fierce struggle.
Ding Buer and Shen Zhao took the opportunity to withdraw from the fighting, hiding in a dark corner to watch this dog-eat-dog show.
"Your acting is not bad; maybe after a few million years, you might get an Oscar nomination."
"Shen-ye flatters me. It's just a minor trick, nothing worth mentioning."
On the battlefield, the Dragon King Hall and the Tang Clan were locked in a bloody melee, with blood and poisonous mist spreading everywhere. Accompanied by the shrill howls and cries of agony, the battle had reached its peak.
The Tang Clan had more people, but the Dragon King Hall's envoys were all elites. Moreover, Tang Ran himself had fortune on his side. After several rounds of fighting, many Tang Clan experts had already been killed.
Boom!
Tang Ran punched Tang Kun in the chest, then changed his fist into a claw, directly breaking all of Tang Kun's meridians.
Having dealt with Tang Kun, Tang Ran's expression became even more ferocious as he looked at the Tang Clan members who had fallen around him.
At the same time, Tang Ao had also taken care of over a dozen Dragon King Hall experts, and even killed a Dragon King Envoy at the third rank of the Profound Void Realm, which stabilized the situation slightly.
"You old bastard, next year, today will be your death anniversary!"
Tang Ran roared and used the Seizing Lightning Hand to charge straight at Tang Ao.
Tang Ao's pupils shrank. "You beast, you dare to steal my Tang Clan's unique skills? Die!"
With that said, he also used the Seizing Lightning Hand and lunged at Tang Ran.
"Oh? Peak cultivation of the Spirit Gathering Realm?"
Seeing that Tang Ran's current cultivation was more advanced than when he was at the Pang Manor, Shen Zhao nodded. He was indeed a Son of Destiny; he must have had many opportunities during this period.
Boom!
The sonic boom caused by the collision of the two bolts of lightning shattered the surrounding rocks, the sound deafening.
When the dust settled, Tang Ao looked at Tang Ran standing opposite him with disbelief.
"You actually managed to withstand my full-force attack? Impossible! You're only at the peak of the Spirit Gathering Realm. I, on the other hand, am a seventh-rank Profound Void Realm expert!"
Tang Ran sneered, the corners of his mouth lifting. He pointed to the jade necklace around his neck and said, "This Qilin Crystal Soul can withstand a full-force attack from a peak Profound Void Realm expert. Do you think I would come to cause trouble for your Tang Clan today without any preparation?"
Tang Ao suddenly understood, and then sneered, "So that's how it is. But your cultivation is only at that level. How can you, with your Spirit Gathering Realm cultivation, shake me, a Profound Void Realm expert?"
"Really?"
Tang Ran heard this and just gave a cold laugh.
The next moment, Tang Ao suddenly felt weak all over. The spiritual energy in his body dissipated rapidly at a visible speed, and his cultivation began to decline.
"Do you feel like the spiritual energy in your body can't gather, and your cultivation is constantly dropping?"
Tang Ao looked at Tang Ran with a face full of shock.
"You, what did you do to me?"
"You're still a member of the Tang Clan, and yet you don't even know the effects of the Corrosive Incense Powder?"
"What? Corrosive Incense Powder? It's a lost art of my Tang Clan… How could it be with you?"
"Because I found the recipe again and took the antidote in advance. I attached the Corrosive Incense Powder to my palm, and it dispersed through the fluctuations of spiritual energy. How is it, Head of the Tang Family? How does the Corrosive Incense Powder taste?"
"Despicable!"
"Despicable? The Tang Clan's principle is, 'A man is not a man without being ruthless.' Today, I will make all of you from the Tang Clan pay with your lives for my mother!"
Tang Ran's eyes flashed coldly, and then Sleeved Arrows continuously shot towards Tang Ao.
Tang Ao could only barely dodge. Finally, seeing no way to avoid them, he simply pulled Tang Qin in front of him to block the attacks.
The moment the highly poisonous Sleeved Arrows entered his body, Tang Qin immediately died.
Tang Ao didn't care at all about Tang Qin's death. To save his own life, he wouldn't care about anyone else's life.
However, as his stamina continuously depleted, the poison of the Corrosive Incense Powder in Tang Ao's body began to seep into his internal organs. His cultivation also rapidly fell from the Profound Void Realm, seventh rank, to the Qi Gathering Realm, third rank, and it was still declining.
"Tang Ao, pay with your life for my mother!"
"No, Thirteen, calm down. I am willing to make you the head of the Tang Clan."
"Belated affection is cheaper than grass, go die!"
Shen Zhao spat out a mouthful of wine the moment he heard this, nearly choking.
"Damn, I didn't realize this guy was a bigshot in the romance genre. I'm impressed."
