Chapter 365: Chapter 361: Bloodline Divergence (End of the month- Seeking recommendations, seeking monthly votes!)

A vast melancholy fills the heart, in the silence listening to the thunder! The heads of the major families in Xiling all have their own legends. Many of them owe their reputations to their family1 s support, but even more of their success is due to their actual abilities.

However, Tang Zhi is different from most of the others. No one knows how he managed to beat competitors who had been nurtured for a long time, resulting in the Elder Council of the Tang Clan unanimously approving this young head. Everyone thought he would do something astonishing, but surprisingly, he became the most low-key among the heads of all families in Xiling.

Before the incident in Chengzhou and the establishment of the new city, it was widely speculated in Xiling that Tang Zhi was unworthy of being the head of the Tang Clan. Some even jested that if the position were just a title, anyone could take it.

After the Chengzhou incident, everyone witnessed the capabilities of the head of the Tang Clan. The group of refugees that the Tang Clan brought back from Chengzhou turned out to be the decaying small martial arts families!

The flood in Chengzhou broke out too suddenly, and winter was approaching. Apart from some powerful families who had the capability to resist the floods, the remaining small families could barely sustain themselves when their fields were flooded and their food reserves were not enough. Thus, alongside the natural disaster came man-made calamities.

All of Chengzhou was in chaos, with people fighting each other for food. The poor commoners were nowhere near as strong as the families, and within a few months prior to the flood, those without any martial arts skills either starved or were killed.

As the commoners died, winter set in, and food supplies dwindled, the powerful families and clans began to oppress the small families.
