Chapter 1265: Chapter 1265

"Bastard, Hao Jian doesn’t have this capability. My Long Family isn’t to be trifled with."

Long Aiyu roared, unable to contain his anger.

"Haha, so does that mean my Fu Family can be trifled with?"

Fu Tianyou leaned carelessly against the sofa: "If the Long Family makes a move against the Ming Group, the four major families of the Ming Group faction will not stand by idly. At that time, the one instigating a family war will be your Long Family."

Hearing this, Long Aiyu was left speechless, flushing red as he got up and walked out.

Hao Jian hurriedly followed behind Long Aiyu, leaving the office.

"Take care, won’t see you off."

Fu Tianyou laughed, excitedly slapping his thigh: "That’s satisfying! With Tang Xin gone, no one else in the Dark Group can rival me, and even the Family Head of the Long Family will have to bow to me."

Long Aiyu stormed out of the Ming Group base, originally intending to reason with Fu Tianyou, but instead, his adversary’s silver tongue left him completely defeated.

In conclusion, it’s clear: the current Martial Arts Inspection Team Group Leader Hao Jian is incompetent, incomparable to the time when Tang Xin was in charge.

"Uncle Long, what should we do now?"

Hao Jian asked anxiously, following behind Long Aiyu.

"What else can we do? Should the Long Family really start a family war?"

Long Aiyu roared angrily, glaring at Hao Jian: "You are the Group Leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team. Be a man and stand tall to fight, to strive, and knock down these bastards in the Ming Group like Tang Xin did. I’m at my wit’s end."

At these words, Hao Jian’s face changed drastically; he didn’t have Tang Xin’s skills.

Long Aiyu snorted coldly, got in his car, and left the scene, deciding never to concern himself with Hao Jian’s affairs again.

Initially, they thought that by putting Hao Jian in power, the Long Family would gain significant benefits, but they ended up angering several allies instead. It was like losing both the chicken and the rice, truly a blunder.

Seeing Long Aiyu leave, Hao Jian also quickly got into his car and left the scene. After all, this was the headquarters of the Ming Group, and as a Group Leader from the Dark Group, he could easily get killed here.

Thus, the Martial Arts Inspection Team of the once-popular Dark Group fell instantly. The brilliance during Tang Xin’s time was gone without a trace.

Now, the current Martial Arts Inspection Team Group Leader of the Dark Group, Hao Jian, became the sole leader of this titular department, as the people from the Hao Family could not sustain the prestige of the Martial Arts Inspection Team.

And so, what was once a feared entity—the Dark Group’s Martial Arts Inspection Team—soon became a joke to everyone.

In a single day, it lost all bases and territories, collapsing at an unprecedented speed.

In the days that followed, since the appearance of Tang Xin, the once lifeless Ming Group began to shine again, not only reclaiming all lost territories but also gaining an absolute advantage in the ensuing conflicts with the Dark Group.

The four families of the Dark Group faction have had conflicts due to Hao Jian and the Martial Arts Inspection Team, and harmonious relations among the Long Family and the other three families can no longer be restored. Each of the other three families is busy with their own matters, no longer united as they once were.

In contrast, the four families of the Ming Group faction, after losing the grand competition, have begun to unite. Only by doing so can they continue to compete with the Dark Group faction.

Thirty years east, thirty years west. The previously united Dark Group faction, after winning the grand competition, started to become independent entities striving for their own interests, much like the previous state of the Ming Group faction.

The Ming Group faction leaders, who were initially scattered and uncoordinated, have become united like the Dark Group faction of old after experiencing defeat in the grand competition.

As the balance shifted, the Ming Group faction, with its substantial foundation, gained an upper hand over the Dark Group faction, which had previously won the grand competition.

Except for the Su Family, which was managing resource allocation, the other three families’ forces significantly dwindled, deteriorating by the day.

Tang Ming, after being captured, was secretly escorted to the Medicine Sect by Nangong Tianyue.

Whether it was the genetic poison or the medical skill legacy, the Medicine Sect remained the foundation and headquarters for Nangong Tianyue. Hence, to study Tang Ming’s detoxification methods and acquire the Tianxuan Nine Needles and medical skills, Nangong Tianyue decided to imprison Tang Ming in the Medicine Sect.

Upon arriving at the Medicine Sect, Tang Ming realized that Nangong Tianyue was the mastermind behind all these conspiracies, but it was too late.

When Tang Ming was confined in the Medicine Sect’s laboratory, Nangong Tianyue appeared before him.

Through the strong bulletproof laboratory window, Tang Ming stared in disbelief at Nangong Tianyue, never expecting to be outwitted by someone he had once defeated.

Back in the Imperial City, he had faced off against Nangong Tianyue and was superior in both medical skills and cultivation.

But he never imagined that Nangong Tianyue’s strategy was so brilliant, managing to corner him into such desperation through multiple schemes.

Donning a lab coat, Nangong Tianyue smiled at Tang Ming: "Now that you’re on my turf, there’s no need for me to hide my identity anymore, because for the rest of your life, you will never leave this place alive."

"Damn, I truly didn’t expect it to be you."

Tang Ming stared at Nangong Tianyue intently, "I’ve really underestimated you."

"Not at all. If you hadn’t underestimated me, I might not have had the chance to capture you."

Nangong Tianyue chuckled, proudly looking at Tang Xin: "I admit your strength is formidable, but it’s a pity your propensity for trouble is equally strong. You offended the wrong people, resulting in your cultivation being destroyed. So dealing with you became effortless for me."

Tang Ming snorted coldly, squinting his eyes, quickly contemplating.

Since Nangong Tianyue was the mastermind behind all of this, many things started to connect.

Nangong Tianyue had a close relationship with the Ming Group; these schemes certainly involved the Ming Group, and previously seeing Nangong Tianyue and Mo Hongsheng conversing in the school woods, it indicated that the Mo Family was also part of these plots.

Although Mo Liuye was not from the Mo Family, Mo Hongsheng, Poison Widow, and Mo Liuye were all loyal to the secluded Mo Family. It was Mo Liuye who destroyed his cultivation...

"No wonder despite my efforts to hide that my cultivation was destroyed, so many people knew. It turns out all these people were in cahoots."

Tang Ming suddenly understood; Mo Liuye crippled his cultivation, Mo Hongsheng and the Poison Widow learned about it, and Nangong Tianyue and the Ming Group would have known about it immediately.

"Hahaha, it’s no injustice that I lost this time."

After a while of silence, Tang Ming suddenly laughed: "I genuinely didn’t expect that you, the Ming Group, the Mo Family, the Poison Widow, and Mo Liuye were all in this together. Truly surprising!"
