Chapter 1300: Chapter 1300

"Stop talking nonsense. I just want to see Wu Xiaoyu, and Lin Xue isn’t some wild woman, nor is she my fiancée. She has already broken off the engagement with me."

Tang Ming rolled his eyes and sighed deeply.

Upon hearing this, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli fell silent.

They both knew that back then, Wu Xiaoyu had been tortured beyond recognition because of Tang Ming. Now that Tang Ming had returned, it was only logical for him to visit Wu Xiaoyu.

"Do you know how Wu Xiaoyu’s current condition is?"

After a moment of silence, Liu Mengting asked uncertainly, "Before we left, she was still in Songlan City. But today, when we went to visit her, we found she was missing."

"I’ve already sent people to inquire. She has now been transferred to a convalescence home in the Imperial City for treatment."

Tang Ming’s face grew solemn. Thinking about how Wu Xiaoyu had been tortured by the Medicine Sect to such a state, he wished he could annihilate the Medicine Sect several more times.

"And how are her injuries?"

Liu Mengting asked weakly.

"It’s not clear at the moment, but based on my initial observation, her injuries are very severe."

Tang Ming furrowed his brows and said worriedly, "Although her life is not in danger, but..."

Tang Ming didn’t finish speaking. Wu Xiaoyu had already been disfigured, and parts of her body that identify her as female had also been destroyed. For a woman, it was more painful than death.

"Ah, you should go see Xiaoyu then, Brother Tang Ming."

Li Xiaoli nodded sympathetically, "Even though I don’t like Wu Xiaoyu, she did do a lot for us and Brother Tang Ming before. We can’t be ungrateful, eh."

"Indeed, you should go see her... go and return quickly."

Liu Mengting also nodded.

"Let’s eat, and I’ll go after we’re done."

Tang Ming sighed and didn’t say anything more.

At night, Wu Xiaoyu lay in a special care ward in a royal convalescence home, with a large contingent of Wu Family experts guarding the room.

Even though a long time had passed, Wu Xiaoyu was still wrapped in bandages, covered with a thin white sheet, and in a comatose state.

Tang Ming slipped through the layers of guards like a ghost, silently arriving at Wu Xiaoyu’s bedside.

Looking at Wu Xiaoyu, whose face was still wrapped in bandages, lying on the bed, Tang Ming felt a pang of pain and guilt in his heart.

If it weren’t for him, Wu Xiaoyu wouldn’t have ended up .

Gently placing his hand on Wu Xiaoyu’s wrist, Tang Ming began to take her pulse.

"Hey! It was my fault that you ended up !"

After a moment, Tang Ming sighed, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Wu Xiaoyu hadn’t woken up since she was rescued. The severe injuries and the mental trauma from the abuse had sapped her will to live, and she was now only sustained by medication to maintain her bodily functions.

"In a way, it’s a form of luck; otherwise, it’s hard to imagine how she would cope with her current state."

Tang Ming sighed helplessly in his heart, gazing resolutely at Wu Xiaoyu, "Don’t worry, once I handle Sun Zhuangjia’s issues, I’ll definitely help you return to your original state."

Because Wu Xiaoyu’s injuries were so severe, even Tang Ming couldn’t wake her up in a short time, and helping her recover physically would take a long time.

Therefore, Tang Ming decided to let Wu Xiaoyu stay as she was for now, at least without life-threatening danger.

That same night, Chen Cang led the Flowing Cloud Sect in an attack on the Ming Group’s division base in Songhai City, leaving many Ming Group members disabled, and then occupied the base, displaying the Martial Arts Sect Alliance sign, with names like Poison Sect, Flowing Cloud Sect, and Heavenly Cloud Palace inscribed below.

Previously, Tang Ming had said that they would start anew and no longer be affiliated with the Dark Group, so Chen Cang, after discussing with his two masters, decided to form a Martial Arts Sect Alliance.

The Flowing Cloud Sect and Poison Sect became core members of this alliance, and even the name of the Heavenly Cloud Palace, a sect of women once protected by Tang Ming, was inscribed on it.

While Songhai City’s Ming Group division was under attack, Songlan City’s Ming Group laboratory and suburban manor base were also assaulted by Xin Badao, Chu Batian, and Poison Sect forces.

In one night, the territories that the Ming Group had reclaimed in West Sea Province were seized by Chen Cang and his followers.

Early the next morning, Wan Changshou, holding two beauties in his arms, was woken up by a rapid knock on the door.

"Ugh, who’s knocking at the door so early?"

A naked beauty groggily complained.

"Damn it, it’s barely dawn. Who’s so blind to come knocking on my headquarters bedroom door?"

Wan Changshou opened his eyes, grumbling as he groped the two beauties beside him.

"Sir, just ignore them. I’m so tired from last night and just want to sleep now."

The other girl murmured while keeping her eyes closed.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The knocking outside grew more urgent.

"Damn it, if they don’t have a good reason, I’ll kill them."

Wan Changshou cursed, flipping out of bed and, wearing just his boxers, walked to the door, "Who is it? Disturbing my sleep so early, have you got a death wish?"

"Deputy Director Wan, it’s me, Yan Qinglong."

A voice filled with urgency sounded.

Wan Changshou snorted coldly and flung the door open, staring coldly at Yan Qinglong, "Give me a reason, or you’ll face the consequences!"

"Deputy Director, I didn’t mean to disturb your rest, but now all the bases in Songhai City and Songlan City have been breached. You must get up and take charge of the situation!"

Yan Qinglong was aware of Wan Changshou’s indulgences the previous night at headquarters, but dared not mention it, only reporting anxiously.

On hearing this, Wan Changshou instantly became alert, "Are you sure? Who’s bold enough to attack our Ming Group bases?"

"According to reports from the injured onsite, the Songhai City’s division was breached by Chen Cang leading the Flowing Cloud Sect, while Songlan City’s two major bases were assaulted by Xin Badao and Chu Batian."

Yan Qinglong wiped his cold sweat and said helplessly, "Now, all the bases have been converted into stations for the Martial Arts Sect Alliance, and these people are also seizing our Ming Group’s assets and resources in West Sea Province. If we don’t stop them, the Ming Group’s influence in West Sea Province will be eradicated entirely."

"This is outrageous. Who are these people? Why have I never heard of them before?"

Wan Changshou asked with a grim face.

"Chen Cang is from the business Chen Family in Songlan City, formerly a staunch follower of Tang Ming, with the cultivation of a Seven Star Peak Martial Master."

Yan Qinglong reported quickly, looking at Wan Changshou with apprehension, "Xin Badao and Chu Batian are said to be descendants of Xin Badao and Chu Batian. Their strength seems to be Seven Star Peak, potentially even Eight-star Martial Masters."
