Looking at Jing Heng's serious expression, Tang Tian was stunned for a moment before helplessly smiling and saying, "Brother Jing, why are you telling me all this?"

Jing Heng remained silent for a long time before sighing deeply and saying, "Tang Shao."

"You should know about the recent events, right?"

Tang Tian replied calmly, "The incidents involving Lu Changge and Tian Yangsheng?"

Jing Heng looked at Tang Tian and said, "As someone like me, I am more concerned about Du Yuanqing and Guan Meng."

Tang Tian was slightly taken aback, seemingly understanding the purpose of Jing Heng's visit today.

"We are actually in the same situation."

Jing Heng continued, "As the influence of Tianfu continues to expand, our original forces are finding less and less space to survive."

"So, we can only seek cooperation."

"Coming to Qingyue Gate and becoming the most prestigious disciple on the main peak is to seek a path of survival for our families."

"To outsiders, we may seem extremely glorious, with power in our hands."

"But in the eyes of the true wielders of power, heh..."

Jing Heng shook his head with a bitter smile, his face filled with bitterness.

"For this position, our families have almost exhausted all their efforts, spending countless wealth and resources."

"We thought that this path had finally been successfully opened, and we could continue to rely on the Tianfu tree in the future."

"But now..."

"Guan Family was slaughtered overnight, and Du Family suffered a great blow, on the verge of collapse."

"I'm truly afraid that our Jing Family will be next."

Looking at his expression, Tang Tian asked in a calm voice, "But you don't have the desire to compete for that position, do you?"

Jing Heng smiled bitterly, "Neither does Du Yuanqing, nor Guan Meng, but look at their outcomes."

"Since entering the sect, I have always been cautious, maintaining relationships with everyone and keeping a safe distance, fearing being dragged into their conflicts."

"But now it seems that everything was in vain."

"When the conflicts truly descend, no one can escape."

Tang Tian sighed softly.

This is the tragedy of insignificant people.

Jing Heng may not be an insignificant person, but compared to those truly powerful individuals, he is not much different.

When useful, he is a tool; when useless, he is a disposable pawn.

"But it's not all in vain."

Tang Tian comforted, "Du Yuanqing's outcome was because he got too close to Lu Changge."

"Guan Meng's outcome was because his family got too close to Tian Yangsheng."

"The reason you are safe now is probably because of your years of careful management."

Jing Heng shook his head, "This stability can be torn apart at any time."

"So I must make the greatest effort to protect my family."

Tang Tian neither agreed nor disagreed, and asked, "Then why did you specifically come to me to make a vow?"

Jing Heng said, "You must know the fundamental reasons behind the incidents involving the Du and Guan families."

"And now, the most likely person to obtain that position is only the four of you."

"I cannot determine who did these things, so I can only express my inner thoughts to each person."

"I just want to beg for a complete family."

Tang Tian sighed softly, "To be honest, I don't have that desire either."

"And my influence is far inferior to those three."

Jing Heng looked up, "But you have the support of Master Chi Feng."

"As long as Master Chi Feng stands by your side, your influence within the sect will not be inferior to those three."

Tang Tian fell silent.

Some time ago, Chi Yuan had also told him that with his connections, he could stand on the same level as those three.

Although he himself did not have that intention, objectively speaking, there was indeed such a possibility.

It's no wonder that Jingheng would come to me personally.

Seeing Jingheng's anxious appearance, Tang Tian poured him a cup of hot tea and said slowly, "Brother Jing, you are the first young master I've met in Qingyue Gate."

"Since you have concerns, let me make it clear to you today."

"This conflict has nothing to do with me."

"I have no reason, no intention, to deal with your Jing family."

"I understand your concerns, but I can only say these."

"The conflict cannot be stopped, and both you and I can only do our best to safely navigate through it."

Jingheng looked at Tang Tian for a while, then picked up the teacup and drank it all in one go.

Afterwards, he stood up and bowed deeply to Tang Tian.

"Thank you, Master Tang."

After a moment, Jingheng left the Purple Bamboo Courtyard alone.

He still had to visit three other difficult individuals.

Tang Tian sat quietly under the old locust tree for a while, then shook his head and smiled.

Jingheng was the only one among those who came to visit him who didn't comment on this place.

It seems that the troubles in the Du and Guan families have indeed scared him.

The last sentence Tang Tian said to him was actually also for himself.

As the fire grew larger and larger, no one could be certain that they would be safe.

But what makes Tang Tian better than Jingheng is that he is alone, without so many entanglements and concerns.

So, he is relatively relaxed.

As long as no one provokes him, everything will be fine.

But if someone reaches out to him, then...

Tang Tian also strongly agrees with some of the ideas of the Hall of War God.

Shaking his head, Tang Tian pushed away all the scattered thoughts.

In any case, only strong power is the fundamental confidence.

Let the outside war burn as it pleases, he will continue according to his original plan.

Another half month passed in the blink of an eye.

After the destruction of the Guan family, Guan Meng became completely furious and began to target all the forces of Lu Changge.

But without the support of the family, his abilities were ultimately limited.

In the end, he tragically died in an assassination.

After a series of extremely strict investigations, Mo Xiaoxiao was also imprisoned.

Just like before, she denied everything and no concrete evidence could be found.

But after this incident, Lu Changge and Tian Yangsheng seemed to have realized it and began to turn their attention to Nanfeng.

However, Mo Xiaoxiao was not weak either. Under her many years of management, Nanfeng was like an iron bucket, not afraid of anyone.

Plus, there was also the presence of Qianjin Chen Sirou, so they didn't suffer too much.

But after this battle, the three parties were completely embroiled in chaos, with people dying every day. The Enforcement Hall of the sect almost became a professional corpse collector.

Blood stained the entire sect.

The situation outside was even worse, with the power structure changing everywhere, and everywhere was filled with war and killing, with blood flowing.

And all of this was just because of the struggle for the position of the second-in-command of Qingyue Gate.

Power struggles have always been the cruelest existence in human history.

However, Tang Tian always remained detached from it.

As his cultivation steadily progressed, accompanied by the roar of the Heavenly Dao, he successfully reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

This speed was even faster than he had imagined.

However, just as Tang Tian was preparing to continue, Chi Yuan and Yun Kong almost simultaneously sent him a message.

"Elder Hanhai."

"He has come out of seclusion!"
