Chapter 2354: The Power of Language

Because in the previous second round of the Immortal Craftsman Competition, Tang Ming was in the spotlight. As the champion of the second round of the first Immortal Craftsman Competition in Source Stone City, many people regarded Tang Ming as an idol.

Even the courtyard where Tang Ming recruited wise men in Source Stone City was previously filled with people.

Hu Mei’er couldn’t find Tang Ming after his competition because there were too many Immortal Craftsmen to entertain.

“Tang Ming, the City Lord, you know, it’s said he won first place in the second round before?”

Several Immortal Craftsmen started discussing.

“Yes, yes. I wonder why the Feng Family wants Tang Ming, the City Lord, to talk about the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect. Could it be that there’s a connection between the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect and City Lord Tang Ming?”

More people joined the discussion, talking about all sorts of things.

Dadun and Carl stood among the crowd with furrowed brows but didn’t hear anything useful.

At this moment, Tang Ming extended his hand: “Everyone, please be quiet. What I’m going to say next may be difficult for everyone to accept, but please don’t panic.”

“Oh, we are curious, what do you intend to say, City Lord Tang Ming?”

Jin Family’s Family Head, Jin Baorong, looked at Tang Ming in surprise.

Tang Ming sighed deeply: “As we all know, our Taoyuan World is an ancient plane. The powerful Immortal Mountain plane originated from Taoyuan World. Ascenders from the Lower Realm who come to Taoyuan World or powerful figures born in Taoyuan World all guard this homeland.”

“Many years ago, the prosperous land, the West Realm Plain, was invaded. Abyss Demons occupied the West Realm Plain, turning it into a wasteland. Thus, the West Realm Plain transformed from a contested land into the desolate West Desolation, only abundant in Spirit Stone veins. And I, Tang Ming, am the current master of West Desolation and the City Lord of West Continent City.”

“Introducing myself and mentioning Abyss Demons isn’t to boast about how many Spirit Stones I have but to inform everyone that we must guard Taoyuan World well. Taoyuan World can absorb ascenders from the Lower Realm as an ancient plane with the oldest Heaven and Earth Laws. Living here, we should consider ourselves fortunate.”

“However, there are many people from other planes who have never abandoned their desire to destroy Taoyuan World. Now, Abyss Demons are about to enter the West Realm from Demon Origin Mountain, and people from the alien plane behind Blood Ancestor are attacking from Abyss Sea. Their target is Source Stone City.”

“Brothers, the death of the Serpent was only the first step. Next, it could be me, or it could be you. We cannot sit back and wait for death. Everyone must unite to deal with the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect and Abyss Demons. We cannot be slaves of the enemy, but must become hunters of them.”

Tang Ming’s voice wasn’t loud, but using the Qiankun Nine Palaces Technique, it could be heard by everyone.

Dadun’s pupils focused, while Carl beside him took a deep breath: “This Tang Ming cannot be left alive.”

“Yes, but right now, we don’t seem to have any solution. Alright, let’s go back first. After the Immortal Craftsman Competition ends, we’ll take the Treasure Ore and leave.”

Dadun nodded and then spoke.

“Young master, did you see the gaze of the Feng Family’s Family Head when he looked at us? I think they might have already discovered our identity.”

Carl was silent for a moment and then spoke.

“Hmm, if they discovered our doppelgangers, how could they not act against us? Carl, you overestimate these lower beings. How could they possibly identify our true identities? Alright, let’s go back. We shouldn’t linger here.”

Dadun raised his eyebrows slightly while disdaining Carl’s caution.

He thought that if Carl had a bit of adventurous spirit, his strength wouldn’t be just this meager.

“Young master.”

Carl wanted to say something else but was pulled aside by Sedno.

Watching Dadun already walking into the crowd, Sedno signaled Carl with a look: “The young master is already unhappy, why are you still nagging? Come on, even if we encounter danger, I can ensure the young master’s safety.”

Carl nodded. In terms of the Path of Artifact Refining, he was the strongest among the three.

But when it came to strength, Sedno’s was far beyond his reach.

Tang Ming gave a long speech, and it was particularly successful, at least that’s what the Feng Family and Jin Family people thought.

“After today, several nearby cities around Source Stone City will all become enemies of the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect. City Lord Tang Ming, your strategy is really brilliant.”

Feng Shendao looked at Tang Ming, feeling quite fearful. Tang Ming’s inciting words were terrifying. If the Feng Family became his enemy, people in Source Stone City could be swayed twice and leave him isolated.

“These are just minor issues. Actually, the right path lies in strong power. These people can be persuaded by me but will be frightened by the horror of the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect. On that day, those truly confronting the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect will still be us. However, once these people understand the horror of the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect, they won’t become its lackeys, and that’s what I want most.”

Tang Ming shook his head. He had long seen through these people who enjoyed the spectacle. They were fickle and didn’t require any effort to win over.

“I see. City Lord Tang Ming makes sense, though they call themselves the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect, focused on preaching and enslaving. Now, without believers, I doubt they would invade Source Stone City.”

Feng Shendao suddenly thought of something and remarked excitedly.

“Feng Family Head, you are too naive.”

Jin Baorong beside Tang Ming snorted.

Feng Shendao raised an eyebrow: “Oh, perhaps you hold other views, Family Head Jin?”

“Certainly, the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect is not merely a religious invasion but an alien plane invading Taoyuan World. They can completely capture humans from Taoyuan World, turning them into slaves. Slaves can reproduce, and once their descendants are isolated, they won’t know they weren’t originally slaves.”

Jin Baorong’s voice was calm, but the footsteps of Feng Shendao and the Family Heads of other major forces in Source Stone City paused.

It’s a method many families use to train Death Soldiers.

Death Soldiers inherently require absolute loyalty, trained from a young age.

The training methods and those mentioned by Jin Baorong before are very similar, instilling a thought of absolute loyalty.

Thinking of this, Feng Shendao’s voice turned cold: “People of the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect must not be allowed to remain.”

Tang Ming rejected Feng Shendao’s invitation, opting not to return to the Feng Family’s villa with him. He understood that after Tang Ming’s speech ended, the Feng Family would surely take action.

And Tang Ming had already become a thorn in the side of the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect, particularly the young master named Dadun, who wouldn’t let him go easily.
