Chapter 1001 978: Your Daughter Has Returned
At this moment, Tang Hongtu felt a warm and comfortable True Qi entering his body, which, under his refinement, swiftly transformed into his own True Qi.
"So comfortable, this method of enhancing power is truly fast." Tang Hongtu had a cold smile on his face.
"Ah!"
Tang Dingtian screamed in pain, the veins on his face bulged.
"The Tang Sect's ultimate technique 'Eight Transformations of Minor Inference' is solely mastered by you, with True Qi recovering so quickly; it's a bargain for me." Tang Hongtu sneered, "Thanks to you, with your help, I can soon step into the Profound Realm!"
Suddenly, Tang Hongtu withdrew his hand, leaving Tang Dingtian gasping for breath, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
How could the esteemed leader of the Tang Sect become a slave raised by Tang Hongtu, madly absorbing True Qi? If word got out, who would believe it?
In fact, everyone in the Tang Sect thought Tang Dingtian was in closed-door seclusion, simply not yet due to emerge.
"Indeed, the demon technique obtained from the forbidden area in the East Sea has truly done me a big favor." Tang Hongtu's lips curled.
"Tang Hongtu, I will kill you!"
Tang Dingtian roared!
His voice echoed within the stone chamber, but no matter how loud it was, it could not be heard outside, as this stone chamber was sealed shut.
Tang Hongtu smiled as he looked at Tang Dingtian in front of him, and suddenly, he punched him in the abdomen!
"It's a pity, really, that you now have no strength to resist. Even when I hit you, you have no chance to fight back. In about ten days, you, Tang Dingtian, will become a complete cripple, and all your True Qi will become my stepping stone."
"Moreover, I can tell you another piece of news, free of charge."
Tang Hongtu approached Tang Dingtian, looking at his angry eyes, smilingly said, "Tang Churou, your daughter, has returned."
Tang Dingtian's body stiffened, and disbelief filled his eyes.
"Can't believe it? Right, I couldn't believe it either. Decades ago, Tang Dieyi deceived your wife, then killed her, and kidnapped your daughter, then disappeared without a trace. But unexpectedly, she's found her way back."
Tang Dingtian's body trembled.
"By the way, she doesn't go by Tang Churou now, she calls herself Shi Yi, and there's a man with her. But don't worry, I will kill them when the time comes, especially your daughter."
Tang Hongtu patted Tang Dingtian's face, his words chilling.
"If you dare touch my daughter, I will kill you, for sure!"
Tang Dingtian went mad, while Tang Hongtu waited for him to finish his outburst, then smiled, "Your threats mean nothing to me. If it were three years ago, I'd fear you a bit, but now you're nothing but a useless person."
Tang Dingtian was extremely angry, but his body was completely immobile, and whenever he tried to condense True Qi, pain surged within him.
Tang Hongtu remained calm, and Tang Dingtian looked at him hatefully, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"You're a smart man." Tang Hongtu smiled slightly, "Simple, give me the few ultimate techniques of the Tang Sect that you possess, and I can spare your daughter."
"How can I believe you?"
"You have no other choice."
Tang Dingtian was silent for a while, then after a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Fine."
...
The next day.
Ren Feng and Shi Yi emerged from the house, the air seemed very fresh.
After eating breakfast, someone came to invite them to participate in the sect's exchange.
The meeting place was at the Tang Sect's back mountain, where there was a large circular martial arts arena, Zhang Jianliang and others had already arrived.
When Ren Feng and Shi Yi appeared, Tang Hongtu greeted them with a smile, and had them guided to seats on the side.
"Did you both sleep well last night?"
"Pretty well." Ren Feng nodded, "When can we meet the Sect Leader?"
"No rush, we'll discuss that later, let's get through the exchange first." Tang Hongtu said with a smile.
Ren Feng nodded.
Besides Tang Hongtu, many other people from the Tang Sect were present, Tang An was there, as were many young people and unknown middle-aged men, presumably members of the Tang Sect's lineage.
Surrounding them, Tang Sect disciples stood in large numbers.
The composition of the Tang Sect, besides the disciples they took in, mainly centered around the lineage of the Tang Sect leader himself, unlike the Lu Family, which was entirely family-run, while the Tang Sect remained in a martial arts sect framework, with some family management methods mixed in.
A distinctive feature was that everyone who entered the core or elite disciple ranks of the Tang Sect had to change their surname to Tang.
Just then, Ren Feng's gaze sharpened. He recognized someone in a seat—Tang Hu, the middle-aged man from Tang Sect he had seen at Shaolin.
Tang Hu also saw Ren Feng, his eyes showed some surprise, but he clasped his fists from afar.
After all, this was considered a formal occasion, not the best setting to approach and greet Ren Feng.
Zhang Jianliang and others sat on the other side, with participants from both sides engaging in sparring and duels.
The exchange was divided into three parts: the first was sparring, the second was sharing of common martial arts learning, and the third was understanding the moves left by past Tang Sect masters known for their powerful abilities.
Initially, Zhang Jianliang's side sent out ordinary disciples, as did the Tang Sect, with mixed outcomes on both sides. But winning or losing wasn't the most critical thing, rather the opportunity to recognize weakening points and progress during the duel.
Later came the match-ups involving masters like Zhang Jianliang.
A sect leader stepped forward as the Tang Sect sent out a senior member, both engaging in a back-and-forth duel.
Ren Feng looked calm, with his current strength, he could easily spot various weaknesses in such high-level battles.
After all, different strengths breed different perceptions.
Soon, it was Zhang Jianliang's turn.
"I've long heard of Tang Hongtu's reputation, and now I want to challenge you."
Zhang Jianliang said with a smile.
Tang Hongtu also smiled faintly and nodded, rising from his seat.
The two entered the martial arts arena, exchanging fist salutes, then Zhang Jianliang made the first move.
However, from the outset, Tang Hongtu was at ease, as Zhang Jianliang kept attacking, Tang Hongtu expertly evaded using footwork, easily avoiding the opponent's attacks.
"Good skills, but you should be careful with the move I'm going to use next."
Zhang Jianliang laughed heartily, his aura suddenly contracted, and in an instant, his figure became like a phantom, appearing in front of Tang Hongtu, a finger reaching out straight towards him.
Heavenly One Finger!
