Chapter 435: Chapter Four Hundred Thirty-One: Rescue

Persuasion was futile, arguments ineffective.

Even when entering the Minor Spiritual Realm, the clan leader only concerned himself with his own interests, and did not hesitate to destroy the Spirit Realm Gate. However, when it came to the welfare of his entire clan and the lives of tens of millions, he did not feel the weight of such responsibility.

Were the still joyful people of Xiling aware that in three days, a fierce flood would wash away everything they hold dear, submerging the brightest “Pearl of the Lingjiang” under a layer of silt?

Since it was impossible to prevent the natural disaster, he would do his best to save as many common people as possible.

Knowing the Xiling clansmen as he did, he realized that they didn’t care about the lives of common people at all. They probably wouldn’t spread the news about the incoming flood until it was too late. He had to do something about it.

There was no time to waste in anger. Tang Luo turned to Tang Gaomin, who was bitterly looking off to the side, and said, “Elder Six, I want to convert all our clan offerings into food and hillside caves.

As a clan member with a mass amount of offerings, Tang Luo wanted to provide caves in mountain ranges for Xiling’s 1.6 million common citizens. This would at least serve as a shelter in times of the flood. As for the food, it could keep them alive during the harshest times.

After two years of continuous food collection, the Tang Clan’s granaries were almost full. It went without saying that most of the food had already been stored in the mountains. If he could get hold of some, he could at least help the people get through the first winter.

However, he had underestimated the ruthlessness of the noble clans’ elders. Tang Gaomin, who was in charge of finances and food, immediately refused, saying, “We can’t do that now. Because wartime measures have been activated, all strategic resources are not allowed to be exchanged and can only be allocated by the clan leader.”

Despite the resentment towards Tang Luo, Tang Gaomin felt a reluctance to sour their relationship further. Tang Luo was the most promising of the younger generation. He explained, “We owe our ability to accommodate two million people in the northern mountains of Xiling and to keep our clan s granaries overflowing partly to the immense efforts of the three representatives. These resources will be key to bestow our favors on the smaller clans of Xiling and should be our priority.”
