Chapter 958 To catch the thief, first catch the king
"These things are all ours; they absolutely cannot take them away. It seems we made the right decision to come tonight!"
A hint of anger also surfaced in Tang Ya's eyes.
After inspecting the supplies and confirming that they were indeed the materials needed by the Tang Clan, he said in a deep voice.
"Let's go, let's go to the council hall he mentioned!"
"If we arrive too late, the elders of the Mad Lion Sect might have a chance to escape in the chaos."
Tang Lan glanced at the sky before giving the order.
However, this man named Old Joe was the first to back down.
He then said, "This...this is probably not possible. I'm just a lowly patrol captain; I have absolutely no right to enter that area."
However, he only said half of what he was about to say before swallowing the rest of his words.
He noticed that everyone was looking at him with hostility.
Jiang Nannan snorted coldly and said, "Some things are not up to you. You just go ahead and we'll handle what happens behind you."
These words were spoken with such menacing intent that the middle-aged man was momentarily speechless.
At this point, all we can do is bite the bullet and lead everyone on.
Soon everyone saw a cluster of buildings to the north, which, from a distance, looked no different from those in the city.
You can't see the specific scenery on the mountain from the foot of the mountain.
"Wait, unauthorized personnel are not allowed here. Your patrol area does not include this area. You should go back!"
Soon, the group was stopped by two Soul Emperors guarding the door.
These two people are at level 61 and level 63 respectively.
But they look 80% alike, they are actually twins.
These two men were tall, but incredibly obese. Standing there, they resembled two mountains, exuding a powerful sense of oppression.
"Um, we have something important to report to you, sir. We discovered a group of suspicious individuals at the foot of the mountain before dark."
"If you don't let us through, it could very well cause us to miss our chance in battle, and I'm afraid the chief will blame you two for it afterward."
"I think you two should know very well what kind of temper the leader has."
Old Joe spoke with a somewhat evasive look in his eyes.
Although he didn't have much of an imposing presence, his words still made the two fat men in front of him change color.
"Alright, you can go in now, but remember not to wander around. If you anger the boss, no one can protect you."
The two fat men exchanged a glance, and in the end, they chose to make way for Tang Lan and the others.
Upon entering, Tang Lan discovered that most of the buildings ahead were dark, with only a few spiritual areas illuminated by faint soul-guided lights.
Apart from the two gatekeepers outside, no other patrol teams were seen inside.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, with only the faint chirping of insects filling everyone's ears.
"This is where the head of the family lives. It looks like the elders are still here!"
"Can I...can I walk now?"
Old Joe spoke, his body trembling.
At this moment, his gaze swept across Tang Lan and the others, as if trying to find the answer he was looking for.
But he was wrong, because he didn't see any expression at all, neither a smile nor a sneer.
The unknown outcome was the most terrifying thing, causing his body to tremble slightly involuntarily.
boom! !
Jiang Nannan knocked the guy unconscious with a chop to the neck, then casually tossed him into the bushes nearby.
Finally, he spoke up, "This guy won't wake up anytime soon, let's act quickly!"
Everyone nodded in unison and followed Tang Lan toward the largest building in front of them.
"Who?"
The people inside quickly noticed Tang Lan and the others outside, and asked in a cold voice.
Tang Lan smiled and said, "Boss, when we were patrolling at the foot of the mountain this evening, we encountered a large number of unfamiliar Soul Masters. We were worried that delaying would miss our opportunity, so we came here late at night to belittle you."
Tang Lan imitated Old Joe's way of speaking very well.
This guy has always been a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. He's extremely strict with his subordinates, but he puts on a fawning face when dealing with his superiors.
"Huh? Is that so! Could it be Lü Yuancheng? Or perhaps the Tang Clan!"
"Come in and tell me properly what I saw this evening."
A slightly lazy male voice came from inside.
Tang Lan looked through the window and saw four figures sitting still inside.
The latest novel is first published here!
He immediately gestured to the people behind him, meaning that he could go in and the others could wait outside.
Pushing open the door, a pale yellow light shone outside, and Tang Lan slowly walked in.
What came into view were three men and one woman sitting at the table.
The man in the main seat was tall and thin, with a slightly pale face; you could even see the bone structure of his face.
This person should be the leader Zhuo Er that Old Joe mentioned.
Looking at this guy's appearance, Tang Lan was reminded of the White Bone Douluo again; both of them were almost extremely thin.
The three people next to him were an elderly man, a middle-aged man, and a young woman.
The three were dressed in very similar attire, which Tang Lan recognized at a glance as belonging to the Mad Lion Sect.
These three are all elders of the Mad Lion Sect, and each of them possesses the strength of a Soul Douluo.
"Huh? Which patrol squad are you from? I've never seen you before!"
Zhuo Er stared at Tang Lan for a long time, and seeing that she was an unfamiliar face, he couldn't help but ask.
Tang Lan simply smiled faintly at this, and then said, "It's normal that you don't recognize me, because I'm also a newly joined member of the patrol team."
"Huh? Why are you three looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Tang Lan turned her head and saw that the other three were all staring at her with strange expressions, so she couldn't help but ask.
This scene also aroused Zhuo'er's suspicion, and he turned to look at the three elders of the Mad Lion Sect.
"You, you are Tang Lan, the leader of the Tang Sect!"
"How did you get here? This is impossible!"
The middle-aged man and the young woman both stared wide-eyed, pointed at Tang Lan, and questioned her with slight stammering.
Meanwhile, faint fluctuations of soul power began to appear on the old man beside him.
"What? Who do you think he is?"
Now it was Zhuo'er's turn to be unsettled. She thought she had misheard, so she questioned him.
Seeing that things had come to this point, the middle-aged man had no choice but to say, "He is Tang Lan, the vice sect leader of the Tang Clan, and the one who killed my Mad Lion Sect's White Bone Douluo."
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.
Zhuo Er shuddered, realizing the subtle change in the atmosphere around him.
How could he not know the name Tang Lan? These past few days, he had specifically ordered his men to rob Tang Clan supplies passing through the foot of the mountain. (End of Chapter)
