Chapter 66: Riding a Tiger is Hard to Get Off

  Bai Jianming's words won over the sympathy of most people present.

  An Shizi was getting anxious, this skill of turning black and white around, he really wasn't as good at it as Bai Jianming, and his face wasn't that thick either.

  An Mou Song's face was calm, he had expected all this, with his understanding of Bai Jian Ming, Bai Jian Ming would definitely make a big deal out of today's events and drag the An family down.

  That day, Bai Jianming had actually been expecting for a long time, but he didn't think that the trigger would be his son's tragic death.

  The Bai family has five major families to rely on, if they can take over the Anshan country and replace it. Then Bai Jianming's weight in the main house will definitely increase significantly, and the main house's support for him will also continue to increase.

  However, An Jia, as the founding family of the Anshan Kingdom, has always had a good reputation among the common people.

  The Bai family wants to replace the An family, they must let the An family's reputation be completely destroyed.

  Today this matter is very suitable, it's just a bit painful for Bai Jianming.

  Tang Song Duan sat on the first floor of a tall tower, with the Heavenly Cycle Technique circulating within his body, absorbing large amounts of heavenly and earthly primal energy to cultivate.

  Although he had a lifesaving method like three rebirths, unfortunately, the time was too short and couldn't last long.

  The Bai family is now coming in full force, not only has the master of the house, Bai Jianming, taken action, but also two elder masters who have achieved great perfection in martial arts, and several other elder masters who are in the middle to late stages of their martial arts training have also come.

  This put on a desperate posture, causing An Jia to retreat.

  Three Lives Reincarnation, the two great martial artists' perfect avatars and the ninefold body of the warrior merge into one, unleashing combat power equivalent to that of a Martial Ancestor in their early days.

  Facing so many Wu Ling realm experts from the Bai family, the initial combat power of the Martial Ancestor was enough, but unfortunately, the time was too short and could only last for two minutes.

  Two minutes later, he would enter a period of weakness due to the exhaustion of his true energy. Although the Three Lives Wheel of Rebirth Technique absorbed and refined the primordial energy at a very fast speed, it would take at least several hours of cultivation to recover his strength.

  So unless absolutely necessary, Tang Song would not use this move.

  I agreed to Anshi's request earlier because there was still time to buffer. As long as the main body can break through to the Great Perfection of Martial Arts or even the realm of Martial Spirit within a few months, the time for the Three Lives Wheel and the Three Spirits Merge will be constantly extended.

  Sitting in the tower, his keen sense of hearing could still pick up the verbal sparring between An Mao Song and Bai Jian Ming at the entrance of the Martial Arts Institute.

  Tang Song felt stifled in his heart, for the first time feeling at a disadvantage without having his own power. If he had three to five martial artists of the Wu Ling level on his side at this time, why would he need to fear them?

  So he can only turn his sorrow and anger into motivation, constantly absorbing and refining the yuanqi, and every time he increases his true qi by a fraction, he can improve his combat power by tenfold.

  Ancestor Jiulong saw that Tang Song was able to cultivate with a peaceful mind, and he was very surprised in his heart. This young man has a good and steady temperament, and he will definitely become a great talent in the future.

  The war of words at the entrance of Wu's mansion has reached its climax, and more and more people are gathering here, including the heads of all major families from Fan Anshan and Wangdu.

  Bai Jianming felt that the timing was almost right and didn't want to engage in a war of words with An Maosong anymore. Continuing would only have the opposite effect, as speaking too much would inevitably lead to losses.

  What Bai Jianming wants is just a reason to fire at the An family.

  It's just that the timing is a bit off, he feels that his son died a bit too early, if he had waited for the master of the house to arrive before dying, the effect would have been greatly different.

  "An Mousong, if you don't hand over Tang Song, I'll have to bring people in and break in. At that time, don't blame me, Bai Jianming." Bai Jianming issued the final ultimatum.

  An Mousong's face was as gloomy as water, the strong men of the Bai family were all behind Bai Jianming, but the strong men of the An family were all in the Secret Realm Tower, he wanted to stop them but couldn't.

  Fortunately, An Shilun whispered a few words in his ear at this time. An Mao nodded and said to Bai Jianming: "Third Uncle said that you can go in."

  Bai Jianming was somewhat surprised, that stubborn old man actually let himself in. However, he didn't say much either and led the large group of Bai family masters behind him into the Martial Institute.

  The Bai family can enter, but others are not so lucky.

  Except for students of the Martial Institute, all other idle people are strictly forbidden from entering.

  This made many family heads dissatisfied, and finally under their joint complaint, An Mousong had to retreat a step and let these family heads in.

  An Mousong knew how important today was for the An family. If they didn't crush the Bai family's arrogance today, the An family's prestige in the imperial capital would suffer a devastating blow.

  He knew that Bai Jianming had always wanted to replace An Jia, so in recent years he had been trying to win the support of the Panlong Empire's main house.

  Now he finally got his wish, the master's family sent someone over, so Bai Jianming couldn't wait to take action.

  Anmou Song thought of Tang Song's master, how he wished that at the critical moment, Tang Song's master would take action and crush the White family's conspiracy.

  Then no one dared to mess with Anjia again.

  What a pity, this can only be thought of in one's mind.

  Before long, Bai Jianming and his group arrived at the foot of the tower. An Jiajiu elder An Shengming stood at the entrance of the tower, looking at the surging crowd with an unchanged expression.

  Jiu Changlao An Shengming only asked one sentence, "Bai Jianming, are you sure your Bai family wants to be enemies with our An family?"

  Bai Jianming understood what the Ninth Elder meant, but things had developed to this point and it was impossible to turn back now. Otherwise, how could he explain it to outsiders?

  "So I gritted my teeth and said: 'Elder Jiǔ, it's not that the Bai family wants to be enemies with the An family, but you want to protect the murderer who killed my son. I also have no choice.'"

  An Sheng Ming waved his hand and said, "What you're thinking in your heart, we all understand. Today's right and wrong, the ice is three feet thick, not a cold of one day. Who is right or wrong today, everyone has a scale in their heart, I won't say more. Since the Bai family has already made up their mind, then come on."

  After entering, An Shengming threw down another sentence, "Stepping into the high tower means that the Bai family is declaring war on the An family, to the death!"

  The Secret Realm's High Tower is the last dignity of the An family, left behind by An Shan Old Wang, the ancestor of the An family. If the Bai family enters the High Tower, it will be a life-and-death struggle with the An family.

  Bai Jianming's expression was stuck, he didn't expect An Jia to be so resolute in her attitude, at this time, she still protected Tang Song, not even leaving a step for him.

  Now he is in an awkward position.

  The original plan was to use a tough attitude to force An Jia to hand over Tang Song. Today's matter can be considered temporarily settled.

  When the host family arrives, they can use today's events to stir up trouble again.

  When the time comes and he has the support of his family, will Bai Jianming still be afraid of An Jia?

  The momentum is enough, and there are enough spectators, but unfortunately, An Jia is really too uncooperative.

  Break into the Secret Realm Tower?

  He didn't have the guts, the Secret Realm's High Tower was where An Jia's core resided, and all of An Jia's top experts were guarding inside.

  The most important things for settling down have all been placed inside here.

  Legend has it that Anshan Old Wang left behind a precious artifact before his nirvana, this artifact combined with the Secret Realm Tower, once activated, its power is boundless.

  But nobody has ever seen it.

  Bai Jianming was arrogant, but he didn't have the audacity to challenge An Jia's treasured equipment.

  An's attitude has been made clear, and everyone's attention is now focused on Bai Jianming.

  The Bai family is in a difficult situation. They want to avenge Tang Song's death, but they can't turn back now. However, completely falling out with the An family doesn't seem like the right time yet.

  Bai Jia's eldest elder, Bai Ruhou, persuaded Bai Jianming, transmitting his true energy and voice: "Jianming, it's not the right time yet. Why don't we retreat first? There will be plenty of opportunities to settle accounts with them later."

  True energy transmission sound, as long as it is a martial artist boundary, can be used. It's just that the higher the boundary, the farther the distance that the sound can transmit.

  Bai Jianming said reluctantly: "Second Uncle, if we leave like this today, then in the future, my White family will not be able to hold their heads up high in Anshan Wangdu."

  Bai Ruhou sighed, "I've always known this outcome, but we can't compete with the An family yet. An Shengwei's old and crafty, his strength is slightly higher than mine, and they have not only numerical superiority but also treasures in hand."

  "But I still can't accept it." Bai Jianming insisted.

  Bai Ruhou angrily rebuked, "Fool! If you get our family's elite killed here, the White family will truly have no future. The master of the house is about to arrive, why don't we wait for them and then settle this score with the An family together?"

  Bai Jianming had thought so in his heart all along, but he couldn't bring himself to leave with his tail between his legs like this.

  Anmou Song stood by and saw Bai Jianming's hesitant look, knowing he was looking for an excuse.

  Bai Jianming didn't dare to have a complete falling out with An Jia, and neither did An Maosong want it that way.

  In the end, it was still An Jia's own lack of strength, and An Mao Song didn't have enough confidence. If An Jia's Wu Zong ancestor were still around, An Mao Song would have long since ordered his men to drive the Bai family out.

  "Let's just end it here, no need to drag it out," An Maosong advised.

  Bai Jianming's expression changed, just wanting to take advantage of the situation, but unexpectedly a voice rang out from the crowd, "Uncle Bai, you must not compromise, White Eyes Big Brother died so miserably! You must avenge him!"

  "Yes, Master Bai, Second Brother Bai died a terrible death. It was that Tang Song who used despicable means to kill Second Brother Bai. You must avenge him, or he won't be able to rest in peace!"

  "Yes, revenge must be taken!"

  "Get Tang Song out here!"

  Bai Jianming was thoroughly blocked, and at this time, it was impossible to turn back easily.

  He sighed inwardly, although he was very unwilling, but Bai Jianming still had to continue acting, "An Miao Song, you see? This is the people's will. You are a member of the royal family of Anshan, do you really want to go against heaven? Hand over Tang Song, and we'll settle this!"
