Chapter 124 Zang Xin: Heaven has no eyes! Heaven has doomed the Tang Clan! (Please subscribe)

"Teacher, may you be well."

"Grandpa Zhenhua, it's been a long time."

"Hello everyone, it's been a long time."

At the headquarters of the Blacksmith Association, Feng Zaixing met his long-lost teacher Zhenhua. Yu Xin also greeted him familiarly as "Grandpa." Long Tianwu didn't speak immediately. Upon seeing them, Zhenhua led the three to their seats and smiled, "Your Majesty, Emperor Sword, you've reached the pinnacle. Are you here to have me forge a four-word battle armor?"

"If we could get the divine craftsman's help, we would be more than happy to do so; whatever our needs, Tianwu will do her best to fulfill them."

Long Tianwu spoke solemnly, his eyes burning with a fervent passion for the four-word battle armor.

Zhenhua thought for a moment and said, "My health has not been as good as it used to be in recent years. Forging a batch of Heavenly Forged Metal is not a problem, but Your Majesty the Emperor Sword will probably have to wait a year or two."

"Everything is up to the master craftsman!" Long Tianwu immediately chimed in, sensing an opportunity.

Feng Zaixing smiled and said, "Teacher, Uncle Long knows that you haven't had any experts protecting you lately, so he came here to protect you."

"Guardian? Thank you very much, Your Majesty the Emperor Sword." Zhenhua smiled, then asked:

"By the way, where's Makino? I haven't heard from him in the last two years."

Feng Zaixing said calmly, "My teacher has been in seclusion these past two years, trying to break through to a higher realm. Once he breaks through to the Limit Douluo level, he will definitely come to see you."

According to Kong Yao, Mu Ye, who had been suppressed in the secret chamber for two years, made rapid progress in his cultivation. All eight of his extraordinary meridians were opened, and he broke through to the peak of level ninety-eight, and was now making his final attempt.

"Trying to reach the Limit Douluo level? He's not obsessed with mecha anymore? And wasn't his potential already—"

Zhenhua was greatly surprised. Was this still the same Mu Ye who was stuck at the level of Super Douluo and couldn't make any progress?

"There always have to be some changes. We've discovered a new way to enhance the potential of a martial soul, and incidentally, we've also isolated his old man's mecha."

Feng Zaixing explained with a faint smile, making no mention of the fact that he had asked outsiders for help to suppress Teacher Muye.

"That's great. I hope he succeeds. Let me know if he needs anything." Zhenhua was very pleased. As expected, Mingdu can nurture people. His old friend was so ambitious after going to Mingdu.

"How could that be? It's a rare opportunity for me to return and pay my respects to you, sir. I would certainly like to bring you something nice; how could I let you spend money on me?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Zaixing's expression changed, and he solemnly asked, "Does our Blacksmiths' Association lack money and assets?"

Zhenhua was taken aback: "When have I ever lacked money? The association has the resources left by generations of high-level blacksmiths. Although its strength cannot compare with the four major powers and five major families, it is not inferior in terms of assets."

"So, would you like to acquire more assets for the association?" Feng Zaixing gestured with his hand raised.

"What do you mean?" Zhenhua's eyes flickered.

"The Tang Sect's experiment caused a huge mess, and the Spirit Pagoda is chasing them relentlessly. In the end, the Federation will definitely step in to quell the dispute and bring them to the negotiating table to discuss the aftermath."

Feng Zaixing said, looking at Zi Guangfeiyang, "But this time, I predict that the Tang Clan has been severely damaged and may not be able to come up with enough assets to make up for the losses of the Spirit Pagoda and those underground industries in Tiandou City."

"Shrek City isn't having an easy time either. As a result, the Tang Clan might have to beg for help from all sides, and might even find the Blacksmith Association. Then—we can talk about acquiring the Tang Clan's valuable assets."

Zhenhua asked, "The Tang Clan is the number one sect on the continent, with an unfathomable foundation. Could this explosion have damaged its very core?"

"I've visited their underground structures. They dug 500 meters beneath Tiandou City to build sixteen large arsenals, manufacturing machine tools and soul-guided weapons," Feng Zaixing said.

"According to the patriarch of the Le family, it is enough to support one-third of the Federation's army; you can probably imagine how much metal resources and soul-guided weapons it contains."

"According to Elder Kong's deduction and our inside information, this outbreak is likely to have originated from the Tang Sect Research Institute, which stores more than 60% of the resources that the Tang Sect has obtained from trading with Douling and Xingluo Empire over the years."

"Just think about it, if all these things are blown up, how much of the Tang Clan's millennia-old heritage will be left?"

Zhenhua's expression changed drastically: "Could this explosion be caused by you—"

"We didn't do it, we just gathered intelligence." Feng Zaixing spread his hands, looking utterly speechless.

"We never expected that the Tang Sect's experiment would cause them to explode. Who knows how someone of their level could survive for ten thousand years?"

Long Tianwu's face was ashen as he said, "In that case, the Tang Clan's misfortune this time is not unjust at all, and it is actually a great thing for our Federation."

It's one thing for civilian buildings to be blown up, but for an arms factory to be destroyed? Hmph, everyone knows who all that equipment was meant to be used against!

Yu Xin nodded, her expression as cold as frost: "And now, the Federation has to clean up the mess they created! If they hollow out five hundred meters underground in Tian Dou City, and the foundation collapses, the entire city will be destroyed!"

"So now, the Federation must begin the relocation operation."

Feng Zaixing sighed: "Although the iron shell built by the Tang Sect itself is quite sturdy, eliminating this underground threat will not be easy; ignoring it is even worse, as it might collapse one day and turn the residents of Tiandou City into flying people."

"My advice to Elder Kong and the others was to quickly relocate the people, then dismantle the surface and let high-level Soul Masters handle everything."

"This time, we'll completely uproot the Tang Clan's hidden strength!"

Zhenhua's expression was cold and hard as he nodded and said, "The underground structure of the Blacksmith Association has been mostly destroyed. We can assist."

"If you help us, the Tang Clan will pay the price."

Feng Zaixing clapped his hands together, a cold smile on his face: "Making such a fuss and expecting us to clean up the mess, how can we let him off without skinning him alive?"

"Please invite Governor Mo Wu over, teacher. Last time I exposed their doves' behavior, so this time I'll return the favor." Zhen Hua reminded him, "You want to have your cake and eat it too? The Tang Clan is one of their doves' supporters."

"That's why we need to find doves. They say one thing to one person and another to another, it's all about mutual benefit."

Feng Zaixing's expression was solemn: "This time I'm giving them face, but they have to give me substance!"

"This time, I'm going to dismantle the Tang Clan trust, this behemoth! All the companies they secretly control will have to give them back."

"Making money in our Federation and then using it to build weapons to fight against the Federation? It's not that easy! If you want to make money in the future, get out to the other two continents!"

"it is good."

Half an hour later.

Yu Guanzhi and Kong Yao, two demigods, intervened to stop the two powerful figures from the Spirit Pagoda from beating Zang Xin to a pulp.

The federal powers intervened, forcibly halting the clashes between the three major forces, and proposed negotiations to begin in half a day.

The Shi Tang warriors were psychologically stressed at the mention of negotiations, but they were in no position at the moment and needed to thank the Federation.

To the great comfort of both factions, the person presiding over the negotiations this time was no longer an old acquaintance like Yu Guanzhi, but Mo Wu, the governor of Tiandou City, an important successor of the dove faction.

The Spirit Pagoda was forcibly placed on the negotiating table. After a discussion, Qian Gu Dongfeng and his team calculated all the losses to be maximized and doubled, offering a price of over two trillion federal dollars.

This price almost drove the Tang Clan crazy again, but what drove them crazy was just beginning.

Yu Guanzhi appeared in plain clothes at the Spirit Pagoda and threw out a bill: "The properties and residences of the four major families in the underground of Tiandou City have all been destroyed, and there have been many casualties. All the expenses add up to six hundred billion federal dollars, not a penny more or less."

This time, in all honesty, he didn't resort to violence; he simply led his men to completely destroy the underground businesses that hadn't been completely destroyed.

Zang Xin took the order and nearly fainted on the spot. His hand trembled as he held the order, saying, "Could you grant us some time? Our Tang Clan suffered heavy losses this time and doesn't have enough funds at the moment—"

"Okay." Yu Guanzhi nodded, took out the next bill, and handed it to the other party:

"Your experiments in the underground of Tiandou City caused a massive explosion. For safety reasons, the Federation must temporarily relocate all residents of Tiandou City and open up the underground to deal with the source of the explosion."

"A rough calculation shows it would cost over a trillion Federal Credits. Out of respect for Brother Cao, I won't push it too far. Let's start with a 500 billion Federal Credit as an advance payment."

Zang Xin's heart sank completely, and his face turned ashen.

Heaven has no eyes! Heaven has doomed the Tang Clan!
