Chapter 573: Chapter Five Hundred Sixty Nine: Premonition

Tang Luo crossed his arms over his chest, a disgusted look on his face. He didn’t believe for a second that Xiao Baihe, who was over a hundred years old, was oblivious to everything. Pretending to be confused would not work on him.

Just by observing the man’s behavior and the direction he came from, it was obvious that he was completely unaware of the alliance between the two families, let alone the intricacies of the performance today. If he were allowed to carry on, it would be impossible for the Xiao family not to have a falling out with the Tang Clan.

The Tang Family had paid a considerable price to form an alliance with the Xiao Family and Tang Luo did not want such an important matter to be disrupted by one old man with a baby face. The only solution now was to force him back!

“What if the Great Elder of my family accepts your challenge today and accidentally kills the former Clan Leader of the Xiao Family in the process? Then what? Will Xiao Jinlin come out and challenge us next? If that’s the case, it would be less complicated for the ‘former Clan Leader’ of the Xiao Family to declare war against the Tang Clan directly!” Tang Luo spread his hands, calmly putting everyone’s greatest fears on the table.

He deliberately emphasized the words “former Clan Leader,” forcing Xiao Baihe to face this prickly problem whether he was genuinely confused or just pretending.

Xiao Baihe’s face was extremely serious, his eyes full of trepidation as he stared at Tang Luo. While he was truly furious at the death of Xiao Ziyu, he was far from losing his sanity.

Besides his wrath, his challenge to Tang Siyuan was largely an attempt to solidify the conflict between the Tang Clan and Xiao Family. He sensed that the ongoing conflict in Xiling would inevitably result in the victory of the Mi Clan.

Although he didn’t fully grasp politics, as a seasoned martial arts researcher and master strategist, he had unique insights into the strengths and weaknesses of each side. Now, with the Tang Clan occupying North Mountain and controlling Xiling, they seemed to have a substantial advantage, especially with the support of the vast North Mountain community.

However, Xiao Baihe keenly sensed that the Tang Clan’s apparent strength was but a facade. Capturing Xiling was not a viable strategy for victory but a path to destruction.
