Chapter 465: Chapter Four Hundred Sixty-One: The Wu Siblings

The rite of passage on the eighth of August not only resolved the future development issues for the Tang Clan, but also provided a new strategy for the sixth elder, Tang Gaomin, to deal with Wu Huan.

On the night of the ceremony, a letter was delivered to the desk of Wu Huan at Xiling in Western Yulong. It greatly worried the ambitious hawk of Xiling who had risen to fame after decades of enduring hardship.

He assumed the Tang Clan would express appeasement towards the Wu family as they did with others known for their territorial claims, even without outright offering supplies. Instead, he received a harsh retort.

“Look at this,” Wu Huan passed the letter to his younger brother, Wu Lan, expressing his regret. “Tang Zhi is always Tang Zhi. Our intentions were never hidden from his eyes. Right now, the entirety of the western waterway is patrolled by the Tang Clan’s warships. We can only leave those smaller clans to the Tang Clan.”

Wu Lan carefully read the letter several times before tearing it up. Outraged, he said: “Elder brother, the Tang Clan are going too far! We should join hands with the Mi Clan, let Tang Zhi experience the consequences of undermining the Wu Clan!”

Looking at his furious younger brother, Wu Huan could only shake his head with a bitter smile. In a conciliatory tone, he asked, “Are you suggesting that the Wu Clan become mere pawns for the Mi Clan?”

The Wu Clan, now at its prime, was bolstered by the support of various influential families that had pledged allegiance to the Tang and Mi Clans. The Xiao Family even moved entirely to Red Cloud Mountain, staying at arm’s length from the conflict.

Every little bit counts. Once the supplies of the lesser clans run out, that will be when the two clans step in to wipe out the families. At that time, all of Xiling will become a real battlefield. The Wu Clan must leave Xiling before winter. If you think that the support of these lesser clans gives us the qualifications to compete with the Tang and Mi Clans, then you’re making a big mistake!” Upon hearing his elder brother’s blunt criticism, Wu Lan’s face darkened, but he still defended himself, stating, “Elder brother, don’t paint the Mi Clan with such a nasty brush. Currently, all the major elite clans in Xiling have already pledged allegiance to the Mi Clan, making them more powerful than the Tang Clan. Although the Beast Valley in South Ridge is not as vast as the mountains to the north, it won’t be a problem settling the families of Xiling there.
