Chapter 939 Tang Lan's Decision
Chapter 939 Tang Lan's Decision
Tang Ya sat in the first seat, and Tang Lan sat next to her.
Besides the members of the Tang Clan, several high-ranking members of Yunshang Yaju were also seated on both sides.
They are also among the few Soul Saint level experts.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Honglian spoke up: "According to the intelligence gathered by our people, the Mad Lion Sect has two Title Douluos, one of whom has already been killed by the Vice Sect Master."
"On the other side is Chang Tianba, the sect leader of the Mad Lion Sect. He is an extremely domineering person and a level 94 Title Douluo."
"In addition, the Mad Lion Sect has about nine Soul Douluos, making it the strongest of the three forces."
The number of Soul Saints has reached thirty-one.
Over the next half hour, Honglian gave a general report on the overall strength of the Mad Lion Sect, the Purple Bamboo Pavilion, and the Wind and Moon Pavilion, including the number of Soul Masters above the Soul Saint level.
Together, the three groups have a total of three Title Douluos, twenty-one Soul Douluos, and as many as eighty Soul Saints.
In contrast, the Tang Clan's side is slightly short-handed.
Tang Lan is the only one capable of confronting a Title Douluo.
Apart from the four newly joined members of the Red Lotus faction, who are Soul Masters at the Contra Douluo level, there isn't a single one from the original Tang Sect faction.
There are two members of the Soul Saint Original Tang Sect: Fang Zi and Vina.
Vina is unable to act easily for the time being due to her own reasons, so she can be completely excluded from the list.
After careful consideration, apart from Tang Lan being the key figure who can turn the tide of battle, all other Soul Masters of lower ranks are at a disadvantage.
However, Tang Lan felt that as long as Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao and the others gathered together, they would be able to exert several times their strength.
This is the strength of the group of genius students in Shrek Academy, without a doubt.
"At present, if we confront these three forces head-on, we will inevitably fall into a weak position and be defeated."
"My deal is to temporarily shrink my sphere of influence to seek development, and then find an opportunity to take revenge on them when I have accumulated enough strength."
"For now, let's protect Feiyan City and the nearest two branches, Tianjiao City and Guyan City."
"As for the other four branches, we can only leave them to them for the time being. This is the best way I can think of to preserve our strength so far."
At this moment, Honglian, as an outer elder of the Tang Clan, made what she considered to be the most rational judgment.
She didn't let past grudges and anger get into her plans; she was a truly intelligent person who thought rationally.
"But sister, those are resources and influence that we've spent nearly ten years acquiring. Can you really just give them up like this?"
Yuan Yan, Honglian's younger brother, couldn't help but speak up.
The remaining seven cities, each branch, were won with the lives of his brothers; how could he possibly be willing to hand them over?
"There's no such thing as being willing or unwilling; as long as we have the last laugh, everything will be ours."
Focusing on immediate gains and losses will only lead to greater and more significant losses.
Honglian suddenly turned her head and looked at her younger brother Yuan Yan in a lecturing tone.
This time, Yuan Yan was speechless, because he knew that his sister was right.
"Yes, you're all right. Being able to think so far ahead certainly makes one worthy of the position of Tang Sect Elder."
"However, this contraction of strength must be planned. The Tang Clan never likes to suffer losses. If they have taken over four branches, then we must take them back immediately with double the effort."
"If the goal is to consolidate power, why not take over Lü Yuan City as well?"
"You know, that place is less than 100 kilometers away from us."
As Tang Lan spoke, she picked up a pen and circled Lü Yuancheng's location on the map on the table.
Lüyuan City is a city located less than 100 li north of Feiyan City, but it is the largest city within a radius of 500 li.
Within the territory controlled by the empire, Lüyuan City has always been known as the premier city of Luling Prefecture.
Normally, orders are issued from Lüyuan City and then distributed to surrounding cities of all sizes in batches.
The size and total resources of Lüyuan City are comparable to the combined total of three small cities.
"What? You mean, take the initiative and seize the three factions' branches in Lüyuan City?"
"This is such a bold idea!!"
After understanding Tang Lan's plan, Honglian and her brother exchanged a glance, their eyes narrowing sharply.
Tang Lan was the first person they had ever seen who could make such a bold and domineering decision.
However, Honglian still had to remind them at this point: "Our branch in Lüyuan City is very weak. It has only been established for less than a year and has not yet gained a foothold in the local area."
The latest novel is first published here!
"Besides our four forces, there are four other forces that control Lüyuan City. Everyone knows this tacitly and checks and balances each other. In addition, the city lord's mansion has explicitly prohibited it, so there has not been any major conflict for the time being."
Honglian gave Tang Lan a general overview of the current situation in Lüyuan City.
In her view, Lüyuan City was indeed a good place, but getting involved would be extremely difficult.
If they cause too much of a commotion, they might even be suppressed by the city lord's mansion or driven out of Lüyuan City.
This time, however, Tang Lan, Tang Ya, and the others all laughed.
Whether it's a token from Shrek Academy or a token from the Tang Sect, both are enough to make the City Lord's Mansion give way and dare not interfere in the disputes of the Soul Master world.
"We naturally have ways to keep the City Lord's Mansion from interfering in our affairs, and we can even get them to help us secretly."
"The three forces will definitely be the first to swallow up our forces on the periphery in the near future. What we need to do now is to mobilize all of us back to the remaining ten cities."
"They would never have imagined that we would raid their branch in Lüyuan City."
"By then, we will have control of half of Lüyuan City."
Tang Lan's voice suddenly took on a dignified tone, causing everyone to stand up involuntarily.
Honglian and her brother bowed respectfully to Tang Lan, then said in unison, "Yes, we'll take care of it!"
At this moment, everyone was completely excited.
If Tang Lan's plan succeeds, the strength of the Tang Sect and the Cloud Residence, which is affiliated with the Tang Sect, will not only not be weakened, but will even be greatly enhanced.
Having occupied Lüyuan City, their future development will be smooth sailing, and they will become increasingly powerful.
The meeting lasted for nearly three hours before Honglian hurriedly left with her younger brother Yuan Yan.
We should urgently go and mobilize members from outside to rush back.
The next evening, a scout from Yunshang Yaju brought news.
The four outermost cities of Yunshang Yaju have all been forcibly captured by the three forces.
The Soul Master from Yunshang Yaju had already left the branch a day earlier, leaving only an empty shell for the other party.
Almost everything that could be taken was taken; what couldn't be taken was burned in a fire. (End of Chapter)
