My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 2090: Chapter 2086: I’ll Go Alone

"Silly child, you are much more formidable than a Martial General. You were able to shake the Four Directions Prison Dragon Formation deployed by a high-level Martial General. I reckon even a peak Martial General could do no more."

Meng Ruming dotingly glanced at Liu Mengting, then turned to Tang Ming with a solemn expression: "Though our family is reunited, I’m certain the Meng Family will not let this rest. They will surely make things difficult for the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect."

"Heh, does the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect fear being made difficult now?"

Tang Ming let out a cold laugh, muttering to himself: "It’s just that I’m concerned about Meng Xianjun’s stance, after all, he is my brother."

"Brother Meng doesn’t seem to know why the Meng Family captured me; he really believed they wanted me to acknowledge my clan ancestry."

Liu Mengting quickly explained.

"That’s good then. No matter what, I don’t wish to come to blows with my second brother."

Tang Ming sighed helplessly.

"Sect Master, subordinate Xin Badao seeks an audience with you."

At this moment, the voice of Xin Badao rang in from outside the door.

"Come in and speak!"

Tang Ming sat in the chair and spoke indifferently.

Xin Badao entered the study with a somewhat grim expression, holding a black letter, which he handed to Tang Ming.

"What is this?"

Tang Ming looked at Xin Badao in confusion.

"It’s a declaration of war from the Ancient Tang Sect."

Xin Badao looked at Tang Ming with a grave expression: "The Ancient Tang Sect formally sent a declaration of war, demanding the sect surrender; otherwise, in three days, they will cleanse the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect with blood."

"Cleanse the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect with blood?"

Tang Ming narrowed his eyes, opened the letter, glanced at it, then laughed coldly: "Good! I didn’t expect the Meng Family would not come, but the Ancient Tang Sect would jump out first."

"The Ancient Tang Sect is one of the several peak Hidden Forces, and because they employ poison, their reputation in the Jianghu is vast; almost no one wishes to provoke them."

Meng Ruming quickly provided the situation.

"Hmph! The Ancient Tang Sect destroyed the Tang Family back then. I had not planned to let them go. I never thought they would come to deliver a declaration of war first; they truly overestimate themselves."

Tang Ming snorted disdainfully, then looked at Xin Badao: "How many people know about this?"

"Currently, only I and Chu Batian know. We were the ones receiving guests visiting the mountain, then this letter was left, and he departed."

Xin Badao responded truthfully.

"Good! Then let the matter stop with you two. Do not inform anyone else, especially my master Tang Cha; he absolutely must not know of this, understood?"

Tang Ming commanded incontrovertibly.

"At your command... but, how should we prepare for the conflict? The opponent is a sect that uses poison; we must prepare in advance, or the casualties could be significant."

Xin Badao worriedly reminded.

"Prepare for conflict? Heh, if that’s the case, why would I need to block the news?"

Tang Ming cast a glance at Xin Badao: "Go and cultivate. I will handle this matter myself."

"Alright then!"

Xin Badao hesitated, then bowed and left.

"Little Tang, what do you intend to do?"

Liu Gaoze questioned Tang Ming in confusion.

"Naturally, I intend to avenge the Tang Family and to kill the chicken to warn the monkey."

Tang Ming smiled faintly, "The Ancient Tang Sect was the perpetrator of the Tang Family’s demise; thus, I will repay them in kind."

"You plan to annihilate the Ancient Tang Sect?"

Meng Ruming looked at Tang Ming in astonishment; even back then, the Ancient Tang Sect allied with the Mo Family to destroy the Tang Family, illustrating the difficulty of eliminating a peak Hidden Force.

"Yes! The way they treated the Tang Family then is how I will treat them now. There’s no need for them to come to me; I will go to them."

Tang Ming grinned ferociously.

"I’ll go with you."

Liu Mengting immediately stated.

"No need, I alone am sufficient."

Tang Ming shook his head. "They want me to surrender, don’t they? I will deliver myself to their doorstep. Let’s see what they can do to me."

"This is too risky; if you aim to destroy the Ancient Tang Sect, at least gather the experts from the sect to ensure a better chance."

Meng Ruming uneasily advised.

"The Ancient Tang Sect is a poison-refining sect, and although we have many Martial Generals now, engaging directly would lead to casualties. It would be more convenient for me to handle it alone."

Tang Ming shook his head, sighed with concern: "Additionally, the affair between the Ancient Tang Sect and me should not involve my master."

"You’re worried Tang Cha senior might end up like Yun senior!"

Liu Mengting began to understand Tang Ming’s intent.

"My master might seem unruly, but no one knows more than I do how deeply he values relationships."

Tang Ming nodded, furrowed his brows reluctantly: "Back then, my father spared his life, and he was grateful, raising me and teaching me wholeheartedly. The Ancient Tang Sect was his old sect, and a conflict would be challenging for him—it might even end in self-harm afterward."

"Senior Tang Cha surely wouldn’t go that far, would he?"

Liu Gaoze questioned with an odd tone.

"He definitely would! With my master’s abilities, he didn’t need to hide his identity. The Ancient Tang Sect couldn’t easily kill him."

Tang Ming solemnly shook his head, "He hid his name and lived in the wilderness for twenty years simply to avoid conflict with them. To force him to directly clash with the Ancient Tang Sect would be extremely painful; I won’t allow it. I’ll settle everything myself and then seek his forgiveness."

Upon hearing of Yun Potian’s demise, the Ancient Tang Sect felt they could easily capture the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect without allying with other forces, so they avoided other factions and directly issued a declaration of war, planning to cleanse the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect in three days.

Convinced of victory, they didn’t ambush but declared war openly, also announcing that the Son of Sunken Star belonged to them, deterring other factions from acting.

Similarly, after Yun Potian’s demise, the Meng Family grew restless too. Since Liu Mengting had fled, the most likely destination being the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect, when the Ancient Tang Sect issued a declaration of war, the Meng Family was busily preparing to attack the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect.

They dismissed protocol, gathered forces, and marched toward the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect.

On the evening of receiving the declaration, the southern dense forest was humid and stifling, the Ancient Tang Sect’s base, surrounded by swamp shrubs, remained harmonious.

Though the Ancient Tang Sect planned to launch an attack on the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect in three days, internally, there was no sign of pre-war tension, as they regarded the task of dealing with the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect as trivial.

At the main entrance of the settlement, two young men in ethnic attire sat together, guarding, relaxed and chatting merrily.

The Ancient Tang Sect was a poison-utilizing sect, and the area around the Zhou Sect was rife with poisons, noxious gases, and toxic swamps. Even the sect’s disciples approached cautiously, so outsiders couldn’t reach this place, rendering their guard duties mere formalities.
