The master went down the mountain

"The Duan family has only one son per generation. My father is dead, and you haven't given me a son yet. I'm the only one left in the Duan family. If I die at Tang Zhan's hands, the entire Duan family will be wiped out!"

Duan Shuai was not saddened by his father's death, not because he was unfilial, but because he was too preoccupied with grief at that moment!

He said in a deep voice, "Therefore, we must find a way to survive!"

"How can we survive? I'm an eighth-rank official, and you're a seventh-rank official. We're no match for Tang Zhan!" Shen Nana said in fear.

"We left overnight and went abroad to seek refuge!" Duan Shuai said.

"Your father is dead, and his body is in the hands of the authorities. This essentially confirms that the Duan family is a member of the anti-Tang alliance. Do you think the authorities will allow us to leave the country? As soon as we buy tickets, the authorities will definitely come after us immediately!"

Shen Nana remained relatively calm, knowing that she and Duan Shuai would never be able to leave the country!

"We have to try, we can't just sit here and wait to die!" Duan Shuai said fiercely!

"This is the only way!"

Shen Nana sighed.

The two immediately packed their belongings and were about to sneak away from the Lin Clan Ancestral Hall when Duan Shuai suddenly received a text message. After reading it, his expression changed drastically. He hurriedly opened the Dark Kingdom app, and his face instantly turned ashen!

"What's wrong?"

Shen Nana asked nervously.

"Many Chinese on the list of the Alliance to Destroy the Tang Dynasty had the same idea as us: to flee abroad for refuge. Some had even bought tickets. However, when they drove with their families to the airport, they were all intercepted and killed by mysterious people. Men, women, and children were all beheaded, photographed, and sent to the Dark Kingdom!"

Duan Shuai collapsed to the ground, his face filled with despair!

Shen Nana was shocked: "How is this possible? Tang Zhan is in Jinling, how could he simultaneously travel to so many cities to intercept and kill so many people? Besides, how did Tang Zhan know which people were going to escape abroad, the specific time, and the route to the airport?"

"Tang Zhan can't do it, but the Xuanmen can!"

Duan Shuai said with a heart full of despair:

"The Xuanmen sect is determined to side with Tang Zhan!"

"Impossible! Xuanmen is an official department. It's impossible for them to help Tang Zhan so blatantly, let alone kill people with impunity and send the photos to the Dark Kingdom!"

Shen Nana remained calm and questioned whether this was something the Xuanmen sect had done!

At this moment, both the higher-ups of the Xuanmen sect and the official leadership were puzzled. Tang Zhan was clearly under surveillance at the Xuanmen Club in Jinling City, so how could he possibly run to so many cities at the same time to intercept and kill so many people? Even a god couldn't do that!

Could it be the work of the Old Monster of Heavenly Secrets?

That's impossible! The Xuanmen has set up a large number of hidden sentries around Wuming Mountain. Tianji Laoguai is clearly still on Wuming Mountain right now!

Who could have done it?

"We only have one path left to take!"

When Duan Shuai was filled with despair, a sudden idea struck him, and he said:

"Even if the Xuanmen sect has evidence that my father was a member of the Alliance to Destroy the Tang Dynasty, they don't have evidence that you and I were also members of the Alliance. After all, I was only 14 years old when the Tang family was destroyed 16 years ago. The authorities wouldn't suspect that I participated in the operation to destroy the Tang family back then..."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Shen Nana asked impatiently.

"Let's join the Xuanmen Club. As long as we become members, Tang Zhan won't dare to do anything to us unless he wants to be an enemy of Xuanmen!" Duan Shuai said.

Shen Nana's eyes lit up: "This is brilliant! Let's go to the Xuanmen Club after dawn!"

Many members of the Destroy Tang Alliance shared the same idea as Duan Shuai and Shen Nana, especially the weaker ones. Unable to escape abroad for refuge, joining the Xuanmen Club was the only way to save their lives!

Of course, to join the Xuanmen Club for refuge, one must be a cultivator or someone with special abilities; ordinary people are not qualified to join the Xuanmen Club!

The list of the anti-Tang alliance includes not only cultivators and people with special abilities, but also a large number of business families, companies, political and military figures, and underground forces!

People in political and military circles are not afraid of Tang Zhan's retaliation at all; they are certain that Tang Zhan would not dare to take action against them!

Meanwhile, those business families and companies, as well as underground forces, unable to seek refuge by joining the Xuanmen Club, devised two solutions:

First, they hired a large number of practitioners and people with special abilities at high prices to protect themselves and their families;

Second, increase the bounty for Tang Zhan's head in the Dark Kingdom!

Thus, these business families and companies, as well as underground forces, tacitly and anonymously offered a bounty on Tang Zhan's head in the Dark Kingdom;

In less than an hour, thousands of bounties for Tang Zhan's head appeared in the Dark Kingdom, with a total reward of 12 billion US dollars!

This move caused a global sensation!

Assassins and underground forces around the world have gone mad!

$12 million!

That's an astronomical sum!

Killing Tang Zhan alone will net you $12 billion. Once you've done this job, you can retire!

"Holy crap, I overslept!"

Tang Zhan woke up to find it was already 6 a.m. He rushed to the ancestral building and, sure enough, saw Lin Yuantu pacing back and forth at the door, sweating profusely with anxiety!

But Tianye was still sleeping standing up!

"How is it?"

Upon seeing Tang Zhan, Lin Yuantu practically rushed over, looking at Tang Zhan nervously and asking questions.

"It's done!"

Tang Zhan said with a smile:

"I've already stolen Lin Yuanshan's body!"

Lin Yuantu finally breathed a sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease, and asked:

"Where's the body?"

"Where's the equity transfer agreement?" Tang Zhan asked instead of answering.

"The lawyer has been waiting at the ancestral hall for quite some time!"

After Lin Yuantu finished speaking, he led Tang Zhan back to the ancestral building!

Tang Zhan indeed saw the lawyer sitting on the sofa, dozing off!

Lin Yuantu woke up the lawyer, and in the lawyer's presence, he and Tang Zhan signed the equity transfer agreement!

With this, Tang Zhan now holds a 20% stake in the Lin Group, and it's time to take action against it!

"Where is Lin Yuanshan's body?"

After the lawyer left, Lin Yuantu asked again!

"I'll go and dispose of the body right now!"

Tang Zhan finished speaking and got up to leave!

Lin Yuantu did not stop him, nor was he worried that Gong Han would use him to hide the corpse, since Gong Han had too much evidence that could put the Lin family to death!

Tang Zhan had just stepped out of the ancestral hall when he received a group message from Qin Yitian:

"Mission canceled. Everyone return to Xuanmen Club immediately!"

Tang Zhan was at the Xuanmen Club, so the Xuanmen leadership believed that the people on the Jinling City's list of those to be eliminated from Tang were safe, and there was no need for the Xuanmen Club and the Zhenxuan Division to continue protecting them!

"Snapped!"

Tang Zhan slapped Tian Ye across the face:

"Wake up!"

Tian Ye, who was sleeping soundly while standing, was suddenly awakened by pain. He looked at Tang Zhan with a blank expression, then instantly snapped to attention and sneered:

"Didn't you say you were going to take a dump? You've been doing it all night! I thought you'd fallen into the latrine; I was just about to get an excavator to dig you out!"
