Chapter 1536: Chapter 1536

Yang Jin squinted his eyes and sneered, "If you continue to think along this trend, once the time is ripe, it’s not impossible for the Hidden Family to control the resources of urban martial arts."

"The Dragon Group discovered our ambition, so now they want to prevent it in advance?"

Han Shan’s face slightly changed, and if things were really , then it would be a big trouble.

"This is just a guess, but it’s definitely not impossible."

Yang Jin nodded, speaking cautiously, "In the past, there were hidden forces that wanted to control urban resources, but unfortunately, the Dragon Group emerged suddenly and disrupted their actions."

"For so many years, there are still many hidden forces that have not given up on competing for control of urban resources. Unfortunately, the Dragon Group grows stronger and with the rise of hot weapons, martial arts decline. We had no choice but to hide."

"Now our purpose in coming out is just to fight for power in another way. If you were the Dragon Group, would you ignore it?"

"Damn, I didn’t even think about these things."

Han Shan’s face turned ugly, unexpected that Dragon Tooth would act against him for such a reason.

"You said earlier that Dragon Tooth only sent some Six-star Martial Masters to deal with you, but this time they indeed sent Seven-star Martial Masters. I believe they’ll soon send stronger ones, testing our limits step by step, until forcing the Martial General out, giving the Dragon Group a reason to act against us."

Yang Jin sighed, "I don’t know what to do now."

"Well, well, well..."

Han Shan stuttered, not knowing what to say.

"Let’s leave it at that. Since they come, let them be, and wait to see what else they can do."

Yang Jin coldly smiled, "The urgent thing now is to deal with Tang Ming and Chen Cang. If we don’t handle these new students properly, how can we compete with Dragon Tooth?"

"Right, prioritize internal peace before external threats, let’s unify the school first."

Han Shan nodded repeatedly.

Han Shan and Yang Jin never imagined, their wild speculations were worlds apart from the truth.

This erroneous inference would later lead to a near-deadly conflict between the Dragon Group and Hidden Forces, and the instigator of all this was Tang Ming.

Back in the dormitory, Tang Ming freshened up, didn’t bother with his roommates’ persistent questioning, wearing loose pants while standing by the corridor window making a phone call.

"Boss, calling me so late, how am I supposed to sleep?"

Once the call connected, Shen Yan’s lifeless voice sounded.

"Sorry, sorry, for disturbing your sleep, but I have urgent matters to discuss with you."

Tang Ming apologized anxiously, his tone very serious.

"What happened? Is there another task?"

Shen Yan instantly perked up.

"While there’s no large-scale task, pick some people aged between twenty to twenty-six to come here, let them find a way to join Imperial University, and secretly protect Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli."

Tang Ming straightforwardly explained his intentions, "I need some with strong capabilities."

"What exactly happened?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan grew more tense.

"Someone kidnapped Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli today..."

Tang Ming helplessly recounted today’s events, summarizing, "The people on my side are all men, it’s inconvenient to protect these two girls, so I need your help."

"So that’s it, are you planning to send the Heavenly Gang over or the Earthly Fiend?"

Shen Yan became troubled, "The Thirty-six Heavenly Gang are the old man’s treasured group; it’s fine to send them on missions to kill, but expecting them to protect Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli long-term might be difficult."

"That old scoundrel."

Tang Ming rolled his eyes and sighed, "Choose a few from the Earthly Fiend, I can’t arrange student identities temporarily, let them blend in as staff at Imperial University, make sure their appearances don’t stand out too much to avoid trouble."

Shen Yan yawned, "It’s too late today, I’ll select some tomorrow and send them over the day after."

"Thanks a lot! By the way, how’s the strength of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend?"

Tang Ming casually asked.

"Haha, the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang, even the weakest have reached Six-star Martial Master level; the strongest has already broken through to Eight-star."

Shen Yan sneered, helplessly said, "While the Seventy-two Earthly Fiend are a bit worse, ranging from Nine-star Martial Artist to Seven-star Martial Master, I’m planning to send you two Seven-star Martial Masters and three Six-star Martial Masters, should be sufficient, right?"

"Hiss, their cultivation skills grew fast? Did they eat fertilizer?"

Tang Ming gasped, back when Heavenly Cloud Palace had disciples, the strongest was only a Four-star Martial Master, now they’re all advancing so quickly.

Moreover, what’s about the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang? The lowest is Six-star Martial Master, and the strongest has reached Eight-star, stronger than Chen Cang, Xin Badao, and Chu Batian whom he trained!

"You’re right. The old man is practically a treasure trove, frequently bringing out natural treasures and elixirs for us, partly our cultivation is trained, the other half is supplemented by him."

Shen Yan sighed, enviously shouted, "Especially the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang, not only their cultivation seems to rise like a rocket, but they also become more beautiful and charming, almost like a group of fairies."

"Damn, the old man is so biased."

Hearing this, Tang Ming felt a fire of anger about to burst from within him.

Back in the days with the old man, he was incredibly stingy, even meals were boiled rabbit in plain water, no oil or fat, now he’s so generous to those Heavenly Cloud Palace people, it’s too aggravating.

If the old man had been this generous to him back then, Tang Ming’s cultivation could’ve reached the current level early, given his talent!

"Hey, didn’t you know, the old man’s backyard cellar is full of treasures?"

Shen Yan exclaimed in disbelief.

"Cellar? Isn’t it full of rotten potatoes and cabbages?"

Tang Ming grew more confused.

"What? It’s chock-full of the old man’s collections over the years, extraordinary treasures, and many elixirs he’s crafted, practically a treasure vault. We’ve been digging from it for our supplies."

Shen Yan explained speechlessly.

Hearing this, Tang Ming nearly fainted, back then the old man often asked him to dig from the cellar, but he rejected every time, little did he know there was such a secret.

Thinking back now, Tang Cha was always cryptic, never speaking directly, always beating around the bush, now Tang Ming finally understands, he was tricked by Tang Cha back then.

"Never mind, never mind, quickly send the people over."

Tang Ming sighed, recalling that the supplies consumed by Heavenly Cloud Palace were meant for him, his heart felt ice cold.
