Douluo: Did you move Danta here?

Chapter 468 The Tang Clan's Rapid Development

The scene before him stirred up a storm in Ma Hongjun's heart, and he finally understood why Oscar was willing to sever ties with him to leave the trio and return to the Heaven Dou Empire.

Having figured all this out, and the desperate situation that the parties might face next, a bitter smile appeared on Ma Hongjun's face.

"Tang San, won't we become public enemies of the entire continent by doing this?"

After all, such methods can be described as cunning and ruthless, with no bottom line whatsoever. Whose cultivation is not achieved through hard work and accumulation over time? Who would be willing to do the work for someone else?

Seeing that Ma Hongjun did not immediately lash out and suggest leaving, Tang San's eyes flashed with satisfaction. Then, he slowly shook his head with a sincere expression.

“Fatty, I won’t lie to you. I have indeed used this ability in the Star Luo region, but it was all used against the most heinous people. The reason why we chose the outskirts of the Slaughter City as our sect’s base this time is because there are many fallen people here. Most of them are wicked and evil. Killing these people will not make us feel sorry. As for whether we need these people as nourishment, it is entirely up to us.”

Although Tang San's words sounded grand and dignified, Ma Hongjun still didn't quite believe that the other party would be able to resist the temptation of rapid growth in cultivation in the future.

Can you guarantee that you'll be able to resist this temptation in the future?

“Fatty, my cultivation level is currently 66. Do you think that with this ability, I would only have reached this level if I wanted to? External things are just external things after all. They can't compare to the speed of my own down-to-earth cultivation. My goal is not just to reach the peak of the Title Douluo realm. Overusing this ability will only make my goal a pipe dream.”

Tang San shook his head again and began to appeal to his emotions and reason with him. He had already patiently given the other party a chance. If the fat man was as courting death as Oscar, then he couldn't blame him for granting him a way to die.

After pondering for a moment, the fat man also felt that Tang San's words made sense. If Tang San really abused his abilities, he would not have been able to maintain his current level of cultivation. Breaking through to the Soul Saint level was the most basic requirement.

Ultimately, Ma Hongjun's desire for the Phoenix Sunflower outweighed his fear of Tang San's evil abilities, and he chose to continue fulfilling his promise and work with Tang San to develop the Tang Sect.

"Alright, Tang San, I'll trust you this once. How should we begin establishing the Tang Sect?"

"No rush, there's already a gap, isn't there?"

Seeing that the fat man had indeed agreed, Tang San nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to the bald Walton behind him.

"Walton, right? I need to consolidate the power of the entire Kill Town and then establish a sect. Within two days, I need you to assess the capabilities of all the gangs here and whether they can be subdued. From now on, you can temporarily call me the sect leader. This is Elder Ma of the Tang Sect."

Tang San instructed Walton to compile a complete information list of the entire Killing Town and hand it over to him. He then briefly introduced the rules of the Tang Clan and the position that Ma Hongjun would be taking on.

"It is the sect leader. Greetings, Elder Ma."

After exchanging greetings with the two, Walton respectfully retreated towards the door. Tang San wasn't afraid that Walton would switch sides again. After all, he had already tasted the benefits, and he didn't believe that Walton wouldn't be tempted, especially in the lawless city of Slaughter, where cultivation and strength were even more important.

The same method was used to gather subordinates during the Xingluo era. They were both useful and, because there were benefits involved, there was no worry about betrayal.

After Walton left, Tang San turned his gaze to Ma Hongjun again. "Rest for a few days. This place is called a small town, but it is actually quite vast, and the forces involved are very complex. It will take Walton some time to figure everything out."

"Okay, I'm sleepy too. I'll go rest first and then I'll take over later tonight."

Now that he had decided to follow Tang San and do great things, Fatty wouldn't hesitate. After all, the two still shared a bond from their school days, and he didn't believe that Tang San would ultimately kill him. Didn't he see that Tang San had let Oscar go?

Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and the name of the Tang Clan had become well-known throughout the Killing Town.

After Walton had compiled the information on all the forces, he handed it over to Tang San and introduced all the subordinates he had recruited in the town over the years.

Tang San had no intention of shirking responsibility and chose to accept them all, recruiting them into the Tang Sect as its first batch of disciples.

In the past few months, this group of people has plunged Kill Town into chaos. Soon, many forces have discovered the rise of the Tang Clan, a new force, and some have begun to unite to resist the Tang Clan's invasion.

In just over a month, the Tang Sect has transformed from a small workshop into a behemoth, with no fewer than ten Soul Saints under Tang San's command.

Of course, these people didn't start out as Soul Saints; they transformed after receiving enough nourishment from their hands.

Now, the only force standing in Tang San's way in Killing Town is the Anti-Tang Alliance. This alliance is formed by almost all the remaining notorious villains in the town, and its purpose is just as its name suggests: to target the Tang Clan.

"Sect Master, the leader of this Anti-Tang Alliance is called Niu Lei. His martial soul is the Rock Demon Bull, and his peak Soul Saint cultivation is unparalleled in this town. His defensive power is terrifying. It is said that even a powerful attack-type Soul Douluo is helpless against him. As long as we kill him, the rest will be no threat."

Walton respectfully introduced the core figures of the Anti-Tang Alliance to Tang San. These people had gathered together out of fear of persecution from the Tang Sect. As fallen beings, they had no discipline whatsoever. Once the leader was removed, the rest would be no match for him. Now, with his mid-level Soul Saint strength, he could easily take down the rest of them.

"Okay, you and Protector Ma take the men to deal with the others, and I'll handle Niu Lei."

"Yes, Master."

After receiving the order, Walton glanced contemptuously at Ma Hongjun, who had little presence beside him, then waved to his subordinates behind him and left the Tang Clan's base first. Countless shadowy figures followed closely behind Walton and rushed towards the Anti-Tang Alliance's base.

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun clenched his fists, his eyes filled with deep resentment. In terms of status, his position as an elder was above that of Walton's protector. However, the problem was that Ma Hongjun had never asked Tang San to help him improve his strength quickly. After three months, he had only increased his cultivation from level 61 to level 62, while Walton had already made considerable progress on the path to becoming a Soul Saint.

With the disparity in strength, Walton's attitude towards Ma Hongjun changed from initial respect to contempt. After all, in this murky water, the only clear stream is bound to be disliked. Your aloofness only makes the others seem more wicked and greedy.

Ma Hongjun could only feel quite helpless about this, after all, he was no longer a match for Walton.

Of course, Walton's change of attitude was also due in part to Tang San's leniency; this was exactly the result he wanted.
