Tang Zuo, with a perfectly symmetrical face, was clad in a cyan-purple python robe, with a white-patterned rhino-hide belt around his waist. His raven black hair casually scattered over his back giving off an air of casual elegance. Amidst the applause, he emerged from the curtain, bowed to Tang Zhi, positioned himself in the middle of the stage and revelled in the crowd’s cheers.

He silently waited for the applause to slowly fade away before speaking again, and the first sentence spoke sent shockwaves through the hall.

“I am Tang Zuo, and I have returned.”

He said this looking straight at Tang Sen.

From the elevated platform, Tang Zuo locked eyes with Tang Sen standing below. The audience could almost feel the sparks flying between their staring contest.

Fortunately, Tang Zuo’s intention was not to engage in a staring contest with

Tang Sen, but to make a significant announcement.

-The Elder Council has already approved my proposal to establish a new hall.

Therefore, the first order of business is to institute a levy.”

-Alas.” The hall erupted into chaos. The so-called levy was a clan custom requiring each family to contribute Mortal Realm warriors for the use of the Martial Hall during wartime.

Not every branch family was as wealthy as Tang Sen’s. Sometimes a branch might only contain two to three clansmen who were warriors. The new rule meant that one of them would have to be levied, a sacrifice akin to physical pain.

Everyone knew that Tang Zuo was full of antagonistic intentions. They just didn’t expect his first move upon returning would be to institute a levy. This disastrous turn of events left the once jubilant hall filled with grim faces. The expression on their faces was as if they had swallowed a rotten orange.
