"Uncle, why is this?"
Tong Longhai was stunned.
Bai Zihe's strength was so terrifying, even he was no match for him, how could this be...
"Just now."
Tong Wuji said slowly, "I just received the latest news. Bai Zihe has accepted an invitation and decided to join the War Department."
"Do you know... the rules of the War Department?"
Tong Longhai narrowed his eyes.
The War Department...
It was the highest overt military institution in Great Xia.
There were indeed many capable individuals and countless experts within it.
Not to mention anything else, the dozen or so elders alone were extremely powerful beings.
As for the rules for joining the War Department, Tong Longhai was not very familiar with them.
Tong Wuji, without waiting for him to speak, directly said, "To join the War Department, one must obtain the approval of the War Department Elder Council."
"And before that..."
"Bai Zihe massacred thousands of people in Suhang City, killed Japanese warriors, annihilated the Japanese divine doctor, then crippled a general, killed a regional lord, and assassinated a Japanese envoy..."
"Tell me, if you were a member of the War Department Elder Council, what would you do?"
Tong Longhai said as a matter of course, "Naturally, we would suppress and kill Bai Zihe to demonstrate the authority of the War Department."
"Otherwise, if anyone, be it a ghost or a god, a cat or a dog, dares to despise the War Department, how can it command the world and lead the masses?"
Tong Wuji smiled.
He took another sip of tea and closed his eyes in enjoyment, "And for Bai Zihe to join the War Department, he would have to engage in a series of battles with the elders."
"Do you think..."
"How much longer can he live?"
As soon as the words fell, Tong Longhai gasped.
A series of battles!
"Bai Zihe is certainly doomed!"
He finally understood why his uncle could be so certain.
The elders of the Elder Council were at least Grandmaster level in strength, and among them were several Great Grandmaster level existences!
The Great Elder, Dongfang Tuo, had already been a Great Grandmaster thirty years ago.
What was his current strength...
It was impossible to know.
Because in the past thirty years, no one had dared to fight him, nor was anyone worthy of his fight.
For Bai Zihe to engage in a series of battles with these people, it was pure suicide.
Tong Longhai no longer worried.
Bai Zihe...
No matter how strong he was, he couldn't survive their hands.
Even if, by some infinitesimal chance, Bai Zihe defeated these people and successfully joined the War Department, it would be none of his concern.
Great Grandmaster level strength was beyond his capabilities.
At that time.
The elites of the ancient martial families would naturally step in.
They were the true direct descendants, the true core of the ancient martial families.
And their overt Tang family in the capital...
Was merely a branch of the ancient martial Tang family, a proxy displayed on the surface.
After crippling Tang Qianqiu, Bai Zihe did not linger. He took the key and, with his seventh sister, Yao Ke'er, left the auction house.
Actually.
It could no longer be called an auction house.
In the several battles, the auction house was already in ruins.
Tang Qianqiu, Tang Beiye, Tang Fengyu...
The grandfather and two grandsons were all crippled by Bai Zihe. It was truly a complete family.
The servants of the Tang family had already been trembling. After Bai Zihe left, they immediately stepped forward to carry them back to the Tang family.
Tang Qianqiu immediately contacted the inner family of the Tang family.
Upon hearing that the entire grandfather and two grandsons of the branch Tang family had been crippled, the inner family was furious and immediately dispatched a master.
Firstly, to treat Tang Qianqiu and the other two.
Secondly, to avenge Tang Qianqiu and the other two, kill Bai Zihe, and serve as a warning.
The person who came was named Tang Fei.
Seeing the miserable state of the three, his face immediately became so grim that it looked like it could drip water.
Immediately.
Tang Fei began to treat the three.
However, after checking the pulses of Tang Qianqiu and the other two, his expression changed.
His meridians were completely destroyed...
Even if the Great Luo Golden Immortal descended to earth, it would be difficult to recover completely.
"Your Excellency..."
Seeing his grim expression, Tang Qianqiu's heart sank. He gritted his teeth and asked, "What is the situation with us three?"
Tang Fei frowned and said, "I will do my best."
Tang Qianqiu's pupils contracted, and then he said nothing more.
Tang Fei used acupuncture needles.
After half an hour.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Tang Fei's forehead, and he said faintly, "I have done my best, and this is all I can achieve."
"Thank you, Your Excellency!"
Tang Fengyu, Tang Beiye, and Tang Qianqiu lay neatly on the bed, thanking him in unison, and prepared to get up and pay their respects.
However, they discovered with shock.
Their cultivation was completely gone, and their limbs were unresponsive...
It turned out that.
The grandfather and two grandsons were all crippled and permanently disabled.
The three of them had their faces change in unison.
Tang Fei was also very displeased.
The inner family sent him here, partly to save the three.
After all, Tang Qianqiu and the other two had managed the branch Tang family for a long time and had made outstanding contributions. To the inner family, they were three excellent and useful chess pieces.
But now.
None of the three were cured!
This made Tang Fei lose face.
"Where is Bai Zihe?"
In his anger, Tang Fei only wanted to kill Bai Zihe as soon as possible, so that he would not lose face when he reported back.
