Chapter 1311: Chapter 1311

"The Liu Family will settle in the Imperial City. If you want to deal with me in the future, feel free to bring it on. But if anyone acts against the Liu Family, don’t blame me for being ruthless. You’ll end up like Sun Zhuangjia."

Tang Ming issued a cold warning.

The Liu Family’s foundation is too thin. Even with the industries I’ve seized as a base, it’s impossible for them to withstand the attacks of these established families in the short term.

"Rest assured, my Lin Family will absolutely not trouble the Liu Family."

Lin Qingfeng was the first to make a statement, and the others quickly nodded in agreement.

"The second thing is, although I’ve returned, I won’t easily intervene in the conflicts between the Ming Group and the Dark Group in the future."

Tang Ming thought for a moment and voiced his decision.

"What do you mean by that?"

Everyone looked at Tang Ming in confusion.

"I mean I won’t participate in any martial contests in the future. If people don’t mess with me, I won’t mess with them. The Liu Family will remain neutral like the Meng Family and will not take sides."

Tang Ming squinted his eyes and said seriously, "But the premise is that no one provokes me. Otherwise, with my Nine-star... martial master’s strength, who among you can withstand it?"

Hearing this, everyone gasped, then repeatedly nodded, fully agreeing with Tang Ming’s statement.

With the strength of a Nine-star Martial Master, eliminating them by force is simply a piece of cake.

Even if the higher-ups won’t intervene, once the family is destroyed, what use is any severe punishment?

"Ahem, Young Master Tang, since you say you won’t involve yourself in the fights between the Ming Group and the Dark Group, shouldn’t you return the territories you seized from my Ming Group?"

Wan Changshou asked Tang Ming expectantly.

"How are you even more brainless than Fu Tianyou?"

Tang Ming shot a glance at Wan Changshou, "Those territories were seized by me. You took them back when I wasn’t around. I haven’t even settled that with you yet. How dare you ask me to give them back?"

Wan Changshou shrank his neck and quickly shut his mouth.

"I’m being very clear. I’m only saying that the Liu Family will remain neutral. But if you are unsatisfied, I can still continue to face off with you. If you manage to snatch those territories back from me, then that would be your skill."

Tang Ming smirked at Wan Changshou and others, "As long as you don’t touch the Liu Family before I collapse, I won’t take extreme measures against you."

At this moment, no one dared to reply, a Nine-star Martial Master!

The strongest in the Ming Group and the Dark Group are no more than Nine-star Martial Masters. Facing such an entity, no one dares to openly oppose him, or it would be courting death.

Moreover, is Tang Ming really just a Nine-star Martial Master? Wasn’t Sun Zhuangjia a true Nine-star too?

Soon, the food and drinks were served. Tang Ming immediately smiled, "Come, come, everyone, don’t just watch. Since today’s a good day for me replacing the Sun Family, enjoy the food and drinks!"

Then a group of people started dining. Although everyone had their little plots in mind, in the current situation, they had to maintain harmony as much as possible to avoid direct conflict.

This was the first time in history that the leaders of the Ming Group and the Dark Group factions could calmly sit down together to eat.

Even though the food tasted bland, they had to pretend to enjoy it because someone’s eating manner was simply terrifying.

Tang Ming ate with gusto; a table full of dishes was not enough for him alone. In no time, he devoured everything on the table.

Lin Qingfeng, prompted by Lin Canghai, was the first to get up and help Tang Ming bring food from other tables. Seeing this, the others also got up and helped Tang Ming bring dishes.

Apart from Meng Xiaolu, who remained seated without moving, everyone else became Tang Ming’s waiters.

As the leaders of the nine families and the Ming and Dark Groups, they actively served Tang Ming. If this were to spread, it would absolutely shock countless people.

"Young Master Tang, you’re really an enigma."

Watching Tang Ming gobble down his food, Meng Xiaolu remarked with a complex expression.

"Not bad, there are many things I can’t control."

Tang Ming mumbled in response with his mouth full.

"Hehe, I wonder which hidden family or sect Young Master Tang comes from. I can’t believe you’ve accomplished so many unbelievable things without a background."

Meng Xiaolu squinted, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Tang Ming, "For such a young Nine-star Martial Master, even in a hidden sect, there aren’t many who can achieve that."

"That’s where you’re wrong. Did you forget that Sun Zhuangjia was also a Nine-star Martial Master?"

Tang Ming looked up, giving Meng Xiaolu an odd look.

Meng Xiaolu was at a loss for words, wondering.

Has the era changed so much that Nine-star Martial Masters have become so common, and each is younger than the last? Is there no justice?

While serving food, members of the Ming and Dark Group factions naturally separated and communicated with each other.

"Everyone, what should we do now? This guy, whether he’s Tang Xin or Tang Ming, actually defeated Sun Zhuangjia. If we continue , our families will never rise again."

Wan Changfa muttered worriedly.

"What else can we do? Even a powerful presence like Sun Zhuangjia was defeated by him. If we clash with him head-on, we’d definitely be wiped out."

Fu Tianbao sighed helplessly.

"Let’s plan slowly and think of a way to deal with him after returning."

Qian Weiguo bit his lip, "Does anyone have poison? Why don’t we poison him now and kill him?"

"Nonsense, what if it doesn’t kill him?"

The others fiercely glared at Qian Weiguo.

Let’s not even mention that the poison might not kill Tang Ming. Just the fact that he’s a Nine-star Martial Master means that even if he gets poisoned, he could likely kill them all before succumbing. It’s too risky.

"Oh, so it seems we’ll just have to come up with a plan after we return."

Wan Changshou sighed helplessly.

"Hehe, Director Wan, you should either think about how to reclaim the territories taken by Tang Ming or how to get rid of Tang Ming."

Fu Tianbao coldly sneered at Wan Changshou, "When my brother was in power, he kept him in check. Now let’s see what you’re capable of."

Hearing this, Wan Changshou’s face turned red with frustration. Faced with the Nine-star Martial Master Tang Ming, he wracked his brains but couldn’t think of any countermeasure.

"Forget it; for now, I’ll just serve this ancestor well. After we return, we’ll plan long-term."

Wan Changfa hurried to mediate, deeply regretting letting Wan Changshou take over as the deputy director of the Ming Group. He originally thought it was a cushy job, but now it’s turned into a big problem.

Members of the Dark Group faction, except for Long Aiyu, were in high spirits and gathered for casual chatter.
