Chapter 1423: Chapter 1423

Fu Tianyou slowly stood up, coldly looking at Wan Changfa: "To deal with Tang Ming, my son had his limbs cut off and his eyes gouged out. Look at the state of the Ming Group. For whom did I suffer this? Damn it, wasn’t it to protect you old bastards."

"What do you mean ’you’? The Ming Group has indeed suffered heavy casualties, but I took down the Heavenly Cloud Palace, killed Tang Ming’s Two-star Martial General elder, and even disfigured Tang Ming entirely."

Fu Tianyou didn’t give Wan Changfa a chance to speak: "Your brother Wan Changshou may be formidable, but when confronting Tang Ming, besides losing interests, what achievements does he have?"

Wan Changfa was immediately at a loss for words. Although the Ming Group’s current situation is indeed bleak, Tang Ming’s losses weren’t small either. It was unclear who truly suffered more.

"None of us expected that Tang Ming would actually have a Two-star Martial General as an elder!"

Fu Tianbao laughed, looking playfully at everyone present: "A Two-star Martial General! If we let the opponent live to support Tang Ming, not to mention the Ming Group, even if we add up everyone in our entire Ming Group faction, we would definitely not be their match.

Now, before the other side could emerge, my brother killed him. This achievement alone is enough to make up for the Ming Group’s losses."

Wan Changfa and the others fell silent. They all knew how powerful a Martial General was. Let alone losing dozens of martial masters, even exchanging a few Nine-star Martial Masters for one Martial General would be worthwhile.

That Azure Dragon was merely a One-star Martial General, yet upon making a move, controlled three Peak of Nine-star Martial Masters. To kill such a person, even attacking with dozens of martial masters would hold little chance of victory. Yet, Fu Tianyou managed to take down a Two-star Martial General.

Moreover, Tang Ming’s Nine-star Martial Master was also beaten to the point of disfigurement. This result was quite remarkable.

"Since you all have such a big problem with me, I’m done with this."

Fu Tianyou removed the Ming Group insignia from his chest and tossed it directly onto the table: "Whoever has the capability can take over. I want to see how you will kill Tang Ming."

Seeing this, Zhao Jincheng and Qian Weiguo immediately panicked.

The current Ming Group is a mess. If Fu Tianyou drops out, whoever takes over will be holding a hot potato.

"Brother Fu, we didn’t mean it like that, just worried."

Zhao Jincheng quickly looked at Fu Tianbao, urging: "Although Fu Tianyou’s control over the Ming Group has resulted in heavy losses, he also inflicted significant damage to Tang Ming. It’s something none of us could achieve."

"Yes, yes, yes, consider when Wan Changshou was vice-director, sending so many benefits to Tang Ming in vain, yet causing no harm to Tang Ming. By this measure, Fu Tianyou is truly suited to be the Ming Group’s vice-director, irreplaceable."

Qian Weiguo also quickly followed to persuade.

"Please don’t say that. The Wan Family Head obviously doesn’t see it that way; he’s got a big problem with me."

Fu Tianyou looked coldly at Wan Changfa.

"Right, since Brother Wan has such a big issue with my brother being the vice-director, let’s have Wan Changshou take up the post again. We’ll watch as Wan Changshou glorifies the Ming Group."

This time, Fu Tianbao decisively supported Fu Tianyou’s decision, mainly because these people were truly infuriating.

"Ahem, I didn’t mean that."

Hearing this, Wan Changfa immediately shrunk back. Taking over the Ming Group now is like holding a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.

"Brother Wan, you’re in the wrong this time, why bring up Wan Changshou for nothing?"

Zhao Jincheng looked at Wan Changfa unhappily, scolding: "Fu Tianyou is doing a great job as the vice-director. We should commend him. After all, not many can take down a Two-star Martial General and disfigure a Nine-star Martial Master."

"Right, right, these were against a Nine-star Martial Master and a Two-star Martial General. Although the Ming Group suffered significant casualties, it’s absolutely worth it."

Qian Weiguo quickly chimed in.

"Alright, alright, it was my mistake this time. I formally apologize to Director Fu. I was wrong, I was wrong."

Wan Changfa bit his lip, forcing a thin smile as he bowed and apologized to Fu Tianyou.

"Second brother, that’s enough."

Fu Tianbao tapped the table, "In the current situation, no one else can take up the position of vice-director of the Ming Group but you. Don’t worry and do your role courageously; if anyone still has a problem with you, we certainly won’t let it slide."

The others nodded repeatedly.

"That’s more like it."

Fu Tianyou angrily sat down, picking up the Ming Group insignia on the table: "Originally, I gathered all of you here to discuss Tang Ming’s situation, who knew someone would kick me while I was down, demanding I be held accountable, how ridiculous."

"That’s right, that’s right."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, though feeling stifled, they could do nothing but accept it, as the Ming Group could not do without Fu Tianyou, and they were unwilling to take over themselves.

"Second brother, we already understand the situation. What are your plans going forward?"

Fu Tianbao asked Fu Tianyou with a smile.

"The situation is very complex. After this battle, we can draw several conclusions."

Fu Tianyou straightened his clothes, earnestly introducing.

"First, there must be a powerful sect force behind Tang Ming. Otherwise, no Two-star Martial General would risk their life to save him."

Fu Tianyou squinted, analyzing very confidently.

"What could that force be?"

Everyone was immediately tense; a force with a Two-star Martial General is absolutely terrifying.

"There’s no clue yet, but we can be sure that a force with a Two-star Martial General is either a Hidden Sect or a Hidden Family. Either way, it’s very unfavorable to us."

Fu Tianyou shook his head, saying worriedly: "Currently, Tang Ming has only called one Two-star Martial General, thankfully I killed him. Otherwise, today the Ming Group and all your families could have been wiped out by that Two-star Martial General."

"Right, right, Yan Nantian couldn’t even handle Tang Ming, facing a Two-star Martial General would surely mean death. If a Two-star Martial General truly targets us, by the time the envoy arrives, our families would already be massacred."

Zhao Jincheng nodded repeatedly, becoming frightened at the thought of what Fu Tianyou said.

The others also came to their senses, grateful that the Two-star Martial General was blown up by Fu Tianyou’s men. Otherwise, if he had acted, they would all be doomed.

"Second, Tang Ming has been able to assassinate both the leaders of the Ming Group and those of various provinces simultaneously. This implies he’s not acting alone like before; his subordinates must hide a very elite force, capable of bringing down martial masters."
