Chapter 109 Hidden Humility

  When the tall figure of Hu Tai Lang appeared on the main street in front of the Tang family's door, the whole Tang family was thrown into confusion.

  In front of the government office, a lively scene unfolded with gongs and drums filling the air, firecrackers bursting in unison, red flags waving high, and a sea of people surging forward. Tang Song was overwhelmed with emotion, while An Su couldn't even lift her head up due to shame. She had not expected the Tang family to make such a big fuss, leaving her completely unprepared, and now she found herself sitting on the back of a gray wolf alongside Tang Song.

  Fortunately, Tang Songti stuck up for her and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't worry, SuSu, these are all my clansmen!"

  Just when everyone thought the Tang family would hold a grand celebration to welcome back Tang Song, and even more so to welcome the arrival of the three princesses at the Tang Mansion, the Tang Mansion instead took down all the lanterns and became extremely low-key.

  Then, a message suddenly spread out in Hengyang City that Tang Song was seriously injured and needed to retreat to recover.

  As soon as the news came out, almost everyone let out a sigh of relief. It seems that Tang Song, although he had made a big show of his divine power in the imperial capital, was not without paying a price for it. Ah, looks like there are aftereffects now?

  Soon, the news spread to Wangdu and even reached Chu State and Chen State. The two old ancestors almost vomited blood when they heard the news, but they also had some doubts in their hearts. When they saw Tang Song before, although he was a bit tired and his face was slightly pale, he didn't look like he had suffered heavy injuries.

  Isn't it just pretending?

  Whether it is or not, Chu Ruhui and Chen Baoguo both think that it's better to observe first.

  The means by which Tang and Song were revealed was really terrifying, Bai Xuan Yue was a great master of the late Wu Zong period, and not just an ordinary high-ranking expert of the late Wu Zong period, but a fifth-grade aristocratic family. The ultimate move came out, covering the sky and earth, making their hearts almost jump out.

  But in the end, he was still defeated by Tang Song with one punch.

  Everyone knew that Tang Song's sudden outbreak was the result of a secret method, but afterwards, Tang Song didn't show any problems, so everyone was still in doubt. Now they finally know what happened. It turns out he went back to his hometown to recover from his injuries, and it seems this time the injury was quite severe, so he didn't dare to stay in the capital to recover.

  An Jia also received this news. An Shizi was somewhat anxious to find his father, An Mousong: "Father King, I heard that Tang Song was seriously injured. Is it true?"

  Anmou Song nodded and said, "The news says so. This message came from the Tang family. It is said that after Tang Song returned home, the Tang family originally planned to hold a grand welcoming ceremony, but it was suddenly cancelled. After Tang Song returned home, he suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground, his face pale, and he couldn't even stand up."

  An Shizi shook his head and said: "How could this be? It was fine when we left. By the way, has Sanmei sent back any news?"

  If Tang Song's body really had a problem, An Su Su would definitely have sent news back.

  Anmou Song shook his head and said, "The strange thing is that there's no news from Suxin at all, it's as if nothing had happened."

  "Father King, does that mean that Tang Song's body doesn't have any problems?"

  An Mou Song was taken aback, waved his hand to signal An Shi Zi not to speak, and after a moment of contemplation, suddenly said: "Shi Zi, make arrangements to take out some of the best wound medicine from the palace and send it to Hengyang City. Remember, do it with great fanfare."

  "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

  Anmou Song said: "Don't ask what it means, just do as I say. Remember, let everyone know that our An family is sending a large amount of medicine to Tang Song's house."

  An Shizi was somewhat bewildered, but since An Maosong didn't explain, he could only follow orders and do as he was told.

  After An Shizi left, An Miao Song sighed with a bitter smile: "How come I didn't think of this move? A big tree attracts wind!"

  Tang Family Manor, a special courtyard was separated from the Tang family to serve as a closed door for the Tang and Song dynasties. This courtyard also became the absolute forbidden land of the Tang family. Within 500 meters of the courtyard, no one could approach, violators would be killed without pardon. To show its solemnity, Tang Qingtian stationed the Rainbow Battle Team, the strongest combat force of the Tang Family, outside the courtyard.

  In the courtyard, apart from An Su Su, there was an old man who was An Su Su's second grandfather, An Sheng Wu. On his way back with Tang Song, he found Tang Song and told him that he had gotten into big trouble.

  Tang Song defeated White Xuan Yue, who was in the late stage of Wu Zong's cultivation, with his early-stage cultivation in Wu Ling. This sparked a lot of interest among many people. After their initial shock and suspicion, they all began to speculate about what kind of martial art or technique Tang Song had cultivated that allowed him to kill an enemy who was nearly two major realms above him.

  And some masters are ready to take action against Tang Song, *he reveals this secret.

  An Shengwu rushed back after receiving the news, he had a good impression of Tang Song. Now that Tang Song was together with An Su Su again, as the son-in-law of the An family after the day, An Wei Wu did not want anything to happen to Tang Song no matter what.

  So he gave him a hint, letting him pretend to be injured. And Tang Song, after entering the Tang Mansion, suddenly spat blood and fell to the ground, which was also pre-arranged. Even Tang Song's father, Tang Qingtian, didn't know about it and was frightened pale.

  Afterwards, Tang Song deliberately spread the news that he had used a secret method and was now suffering from aftereffects, requiring him to retreat for several months to recover. It was even possible that he would be left with lifelong aftereffects.

  This message has gone through several versions and procedures, but it was not transmitted all at once, instead it was divided into several times, this is also the meaning of Ansheng Wu. Only in this way can people believe that this is true.

  Tang Qingtian even issued a strict order, absolutely forbidding anyone from spreading the news that Tang Song had been seriously injured.

  After the news got out, Tang Qingtian was even more furious and severely punished several of the Tang family's servants, but these people were actually spies planted by other families. Tang Qingtian had known about this for a long time and just used this opportunity to take action.

  Tang Qingtian's performance convinced everyone even more that the news coming from the Tang family was true.

  Some powerful people who were about to make a move against Tang Song temporarily halted their plans after hearing the news. To leave behind a lifelong aftereffect with a secret technique, how terrifying is that?

  What made them even more hesitant was that they didn't know if the secret method of Tang Song would have any effect on them. After all, some secret methods could greatly enhance one's combat strength when cultivated by those in the Wu Ling realm, but for those who had reached the Wu Zong or even Wu Wang realms, the enhancement to their combat strength was limited.

  After all the trouble, the secret method brought back is not only useless but also leaves a lifelong aftereffect. What's the point of such a secret method?

  So this crisis of Tang and Song is temporarily over.

  "Second Master, if we do it this way, will everything be alright?" asked An Su Su.

  An Wei Wu shook his head, gazing into the distance, saying: "It's not that nothing will happen, it's just that for now, nothing has happened. Once time passes and everyone comes to their senses, trouble will come knocking on our door."

  An Su quietly looked at Tang Song with a worried expression, not saying a word.

  Tang Song smiled and said, "Su Su, don't worry, once time passes, they won't find it so easy to take advantage of me. Who knows, maybe by then I'll be the one taking advantage of them."

  With the current cultivation of Tang Song, after the Three Lives Wheel Revival Secret Method is activated, even if it's a martial artist in the early stages of Wu Wang, they still can't compare to him in terms of combat power. However, the martial artists who have grasped the complete principles and intentions of Wu Wang's law, or even grasped the power of the domain, when fighting against such strong opponents, it's not simply a matter of comparing combat power.

  In the domain of a strong martial artist like Wu Wang, even if you have 100% combat strength, you can only exert 50%, or even just 30%. Otherwise, you'll be left with no choice but to surrender.

  So Tang and Song must have more insight into the meaning of the law.

  Ansheng Wudao: "Tang Song, this idea of yours is great. I believe that you will gain something from your battle with Bai Xuanwu. Why not take this opportunity to retreat and contemplate?"

  Tang Song nodded and said: "I was thinking the same thing. Su, I'm sorry, I originally wanted to take you to Butterfly Valley for fun, but now it seems we can't go."

  An Su shook her head and said, "It's nothing, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. It's just as well, I'll take this chance to retreat and consolidate my gains from the secret realm."

  An Sheng Wu said: "Alright, you two go into seclusion, I won't disturb you."

  "Tang Song hastily said: 'Second Grandfather, why don't you just stay at the Tang's for a few more days?'"

  An Sheng Wu waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm an old man who's not used to staying in one place for too long, I like to move around. Don't worry, it'll be the National Assembly in a few months, we'll meet again then."

  Tang Song nodded slightly, knowing that someone like An Shengwu couldn't be kept around, so he didn't force the issue and simply saw him off from the Tang estate with a courteous gesture.

  The gray wolf went back under the cliff, and there were no powerful monsters lurking under the cliff. The only two three-stage monsters had been destroyed by that strange cave. So Tang Song was very relieved to let the gray wolf go back alone. As for whether the gray wolf would come back or not, and when it would come back, it was no longer something Tang Song could decide.

  Since he let Grey Wolf make his own choice, he will absolutely not give Grey Wolf any more burdens, everything is up to his free choice.

  After all this was arranged, Tang Song and An Su Su really went into seclusion.

  Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. During this half-month period, except for sending meals to the closed courtyard where Tang Song and An Su were staying, no one from the Tang family had seen Tang Song's face.

  Another half month later, An Su Su came out of her room and appeared in front of the Tang family. Her face was expressionless, still with a cold and icy demeanor. But Tang Song had yet to emerge.

  Just after An Su Su left, another news came from the Tang's residence. It is said that Tang Song's closed-door training for a month did not have much effect, and more than half of the healing medicines sent by various parties have been used up. Now the Tang family is urgently purchasing healing medicines, especially those that replenish vital energy and blood. The Tang family is sparing no expense in buying them.

  And far away in Wangdu's Anjia, they also coordinated with the Tang family's actions, taking out a large amount of funds to purchase these spiritual medicines.
