Chapter 2353: Tang Ming’s Strategy

Tang Ming is an Immortal Doctor and used to be the Hall Master of Tianpo City’s medical hall. Among these people present, Tang Ming is the most familiar with corpses.

Tang Ming walked over and circled the corpse once, his pupils began to focus.

Because Tang Ming discovered something very important. The blood of this corpse has been completely extracted.

In other words, the person who killed him extracted all the fresh blood from his body.

He reached out and turned the body of the snake handler over. As expected, the snake handler’s expression was normal, neither shocked nor angry.

The person who killed the snake handler must have used some kind of ambush or abilities that Tang Ming and others couldn’t detect to directly extract the fresh blood from the snake handler’s body.

Thinking of this, Tang Ming exhaled a long breath, stood up, and looked towards Feng Shendao behind him; “He was unaware when his fresh blood was extracted and fell.”

“Extracted all his fresh blood.”

Feng Shendao opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Tang Ming nodded: “Look at the snake handler Immortal Craftsman’s expression. He was neither terrified nor angry, just like he was walking out normally. It means that he indeed had this habit of going to the tavern for a drink when he had nothing to do in the afternoon.”

“The snake handler Immortal Craftsman left his residence to go to the tavern for a drink, walked here after leaving the room, and was suddenly extracted of all his fresh blood before dying here.”

Tang Ming glanced around and then spoke with certainty.

“Tang Ming, City Lord, do you think it was done by those few from the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect?”

Both Feng Shendao and Jin Baorong knew that the snake tail had previously had conflicts with three individuals from the Blood God Plane. If they killed the snake handler, that’s plausibly the case.

“I’m not sure, but it is quite possible. Moreover, did you notice that not a single drop of fresh blood was left in the courtyard? I think it might be some kind of ceremony. Usually, things like ceremonies come from cults.”

After a long silence, Tang Ming spoke directly.

Feng Shendao nodded and then said, “Alright, everyone, let’s not discuss this matter further. The Feng Family will take responsibility for apprehending the murderer. We’ll certainly give an explanation to the snake tail Immortal Craftsman.”

Feng Shendao exchanged a glance with Tang Ming before leaving the courtyard where the snake handler resided.

“Too audacious, really too audacious. I didn’t expect them to actually dare to act so flagrantly. Tang Ming, City Lord, I will now mobilize troops from the family to take action against them. I refuse to believe that the three of them could defeat our Feng family’s ten thousand strong guard army.”

Upon returning to his courtyard, Feng Shendao directly threw the teacup he held to the ground.

Feng Rui and Tang Ming exchanged a glance, both raising their eyebrows slightly.

Just as Tang Ming was about to say something, a guard walked in from outside: “Family Head, Family Head Jin and Madam Murong request an audience.”

“Hmm, invite them in.”

Feng Shendao exhaled a long breath and sat back down in his seat.

Previously, Jin Baorong had shown him much respect. At this moment, as Jin Baorong came over, he would also return some respect.

Moreover, the Twin Clan and Tang Ming, the City Lord of West Continent City, are practically one and the same.

At this moment, as Murong visited, he definitely needed to give Tang Ming some respect.

Very soon, Jin Baorong came in from outside, followed by Murong behind him.

After exchanging pleasantries, Murong looked at Feng Shendao and said, “Family Head Feng, regarding today’s matter, what’s your opinion? I’ve heard that the individual was extracted of all fresh blood, which is clearly the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect’s method.”

“Indeed. This cannot be tolerated. They must be targeting our Source Stone City. The Feng Family is the oldest family in Source Stone City; your heritage is well-established, we cannot let this go.”

Jin Baorong also spoke directly.

From listening to Jin Baorong and Murong, Tang Ming understood that these two must have discussed beforehand.

Firstly, the Jin Family also shares the bloodline of the Twin Clan. The Twin Clan and the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect hold a deep-seated enmity. Previously, members of the Twin Clan were enslaved by the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect.

At this time, as the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect attempts to rule over Taoyuan World, their primary target would be members of the Twin Clan.

“Yes, that’s what I think too, but Tang Ming, the City Lord, stopped me.”

Feng Shendao looked at Tang Ming, waiting for him to explain.

Murong and Jin Baorong were even more surprised, knowing that for people from other planes, Tang Ming has always been a leader.

Tang Ming smiled and then said, “I considered many aspects for this matter. I think we should handle it like this.”

Tang Ming began speaking softly. After a long while, Feng Shendao’s laughter echoed from the courtyard.

Soon, the Feng Family sealed off the entire Source Stone City, and people within the city and those Immortal Craftsmen became paranoid.

However, led by the Feng Family, those families didn’t take action against them, but gathered everyone at the city’s central square.

“Everyone. Today, a dreadful event has transpired in Source Stone City. A vicious cult called the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect has used a malicious curse on an Immortal Craftsman named the snake handler within Source Stone City. The snake handler’s fresh blood was completely drained, turning into a dried corpse.”

Feng Shendao waved his hand, and the Feng Family members brought the snake handler’s body out.

Standing among the crowd, Dadun furrowed his brows. Though they were responsible for the snake handler’s demise, why was Feng Shendao escalating the situation now? Does he not fear unrest in Source Stone City?

Sure enough, murmurs gradually arose from below, some expressing fear, others expressing surprise; there were all kinds of sentiments.

At this moment, Feng Shendao raised his head and coughed: “I know what everyone seeks to understand. But I also know only that this matter may originate from a cult claiming to be the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect. This cult previously appeared near the Abyss Sea, and they’ve killed many people, such as near Wanghai City and the Holy Maiden Sect. All those living near Abyss Sea, including the Twin Clan, were wiped out by them.”

“What? I know the Holy Maiden Sect; indeed they’ve vanished from near Wanghai City. What sort of cult is the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect, and what do they want?”

Positioned among the crowd, a member of the Feng Family loudly asked.

“A good question. What kind of cult is the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect? Why did they kill the snake handler Immortal Craftsman? Now, we invite Tang Ming, the City Lord of West Continent City, to speak to everyone.”

Feng Shendao’s gaze fell on Tang Ming. He was indeed surprised that Tang Ming would undertake such a threat and personally speak about the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect.
