Chapter 44 - NEGOTIATIONS

All the people in the room were looking at Tang Hao's group especially Tang Hao. His actions were responsible for most of their suffering. If he wasn't so rash they wouldn't have to live such a hard life and loss of may their clan members. Three clan heads then look at Tai Tan who was just calmly sitting there. They understood that this meeting was arranged by him. Niu Gao, who was always close to him suddenly shouted and said: "Tai Tan, What is the meaning of this? Why have you arranged such a meeting? Do you want us to rejoin Clear Sky Sect? Didn't we suffer enough because of him and clear sky sect? Give us one reason we don't take our clan and move out of heaven dou city now." The other two have the same thoughts.

Tai Tan stood up bowed to them and said:" For this old fool please listen to them before making any decisions. No, I don't want any of us to rejoin Clear Sky Sect. They don't Represent that sect though they are here to recruit you to their family's new sect. It was I who begged them to come here, Master wanted to make up for his mistakes, so he came with his family and three youngsters I really don't know about to help us. Our main enemy is spirit Hall and it's increasing their domain very fast. It won't be long that they will come to us because of the bad blood between us. I wanted to reunite our four one attribute clan together like it used to be back in the day. Please, For this old fools listen to them once."

The people of the room were awkward now the head of the host clan was bowing his head to the guests for them to listen to newcomers. Tang Hao suddenly stood next to Tai Tan and bowed his head to them as well, this gesture was repeated by all of the Tang Hao's group that came with him.

Seeing their old friend, Tang Hao, a woman and 5 teenagers bowing to them and logic behind Tai Tan's head. Three heads of clan sighed, Bai He stepped forward, raised their head and then Bai He said time Tai Tan said: "Okay we will listen to them but don't expect us to follow them after how their predecessors have treated us. We are willing to listen to them only once for you. We also want to know how and what are the qualifications to have you be so hopeful of their sect." Other clan head snorted but remained to listen to Tang Hao's group.

Truth was they never blamed Tang Hao but clear sky sect. Tang Hao was just defending his family. Any man worth their existence according to them would do the same. Tang Hao was the youth they have seen being born and brought up in front of them, Bai He even was his uncle as his sister was Tang Hao's mother. They have seen Tang Hao become strong and blooming as a talent comparable to his grandfather "Tang Chen". They have seen Tang Hao always had an arrogant and dominating attitude within him and were proud of him as he was their own son. Seeing such youth bowing his head before them has made them unknowingly sad. The resentment in their hearts severely lessened.

Tang Chen stepped forward and said:" Thank you for the opportunity seniors, I assure you joining Tang sect will be beneficial to you. I am Tang Chen son of Clear sky douluo Tang hao and let me for the introductions, This to my right is my blood brother Tang San, girl next to him is our adopted sister Xiao wu, The lady standing next to my father is our birth mother Ah Yin or Blue Emperor Douluo. The other two are our comrades and the first member of our sect aside from my own family, The handsome red-haired youth is Ma Hongjun and handsome white-haired youth is Oscar" Tang Chen gave some time to process what he said. Other in-room was shocked that the woman Bowing to them was a Titled Douluo. In all douluo continent strength matters the most so Tang Chen deliberately and subtly told them that two Titled Douluo was present both in the room and Tang sect. After a few moments, Tang Chen continued and said: "Our Tang sect is a business based sect which will be beneficial for whoever joins us by solving their financial problems. We have our techniques which are highly compatible with seniors clans specialties, but we will talk about it later. For now, we will tell you how we plan to make money and what are the things that make us so sure that others will buy or product?" After that, he hinted toward Tang San to continue further as he can explain more about hidden weapons.

Tang San then took a bunch of spit weapons from his ring and said: "These are our product we call them hidden weapons, This thing is called Godly Zhuge Crossbow, forty-eight crossbow bolts are hidden inside, including the crossbow bolts, all of it is made from refined iron. Each time the mechanism on top is wound, it can instantly shoot sixteen crossbow bolts from the holes in the front, tyrannically powerful. It can break defensive spirit abilities of the fortieth rank and below, and the crossbow bolts are furthermore poisoned. If used to sneak attack before the opponent raises his defense, even fiftieth and sixtieth level Spirit Masters will find it very difficult to escape. Just that since these crossbow bolts require extremely fine craftsmanship and uncommon materials, the cost is high."

Tang San took back the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, swiftly winding the mechanism,

"Seniors please watch."

While speaking, Tang San raised his hand and fired. Along with a series of sonorous cracks, sixteen streaks of shadow entered the ground in an instant. Clan heads didn't clearly see how they shot, but the granite floor already had sixteen small holes.

Bai He couldn't help asking:

"How large is the killing range for this thing? And what is its price"

Tang San said:

" Due to our new forging techniques the greatest killing power is guaranteed within seventy meters, further than that, the power gradually weakens and it's the price is 150 gold coins for one. I am not exaggerating the price we have told seven treasures school the same price as they are already interested in our weapons and want it to equip it to their immediate clansmen."

Tai Tan said:

"Bai He, I can prove this on his behalf. Selling this Godly Zhuge Crossbow for one hundred fifty gold spirit coins absolutely isn't expensive. The craft required to make this weapon is executive and detailed. The forging techniques are such that it is even unknown to me. And I can say seven treasures school will be Tang Sect's long term client."

Tang San then Said: "There are other weapons but explaining them will waste seniors time so let me show a demonstration. Ma hongjun come to act as a target."

"No problem! Come."

He was just looking for an opportunity to show off in front of the beautiful woman. Eager to take on this task, he walked over to stand ten meters in front of Tang San.

"Fourth brother, wait for me to prepare. Those hidden weapons of yours aren't so easy to block."

While speaking, Fatty immediately released his spirit.

Along with his spirit releasing, Ma Hongjun's body immediately straightened somewhat, his hair started turning scarlet red from red, his b.a.r.e limbs displaying dazzlingly beautiful feathers, and his whole body released hot temperature from him increasing the temperature of room alarmingly. What drew most attention was naturally those four spirit rings of his.

Two yellow, two purple. Four rings altogether.

Everybody was startled. Originally they haven't paid attention to smiling and giggling handsome red hair colored much attention, they hadn't expected him to actually also be a Spirit Expert level, Spirit Master. From how he called Tang San fourth brother, he was clearly even a bit younger than Tang San. And even Tang San looked 13-14 years old. The grandfather and granddaughter Bai He and Bai Chenxiang thought even more deeply. First putting aside Ma Hongjun's spirit rings, when he released his spirit, both of them simultaneously felt an indescribable pressure hitting them. That was a feeling that made their souls tremble, an innate fear of their spirits. How was it possible? Their always proud expressions immediately changed greatly.

Ma Hongjun somewhat boastfully said:

"Junior is Ma Hongjun. Forty Fifth-ranked power attack type Spirit Expert. Spirit, True Fire Phoenix."

As he spoke, his second and third spirit rings flashed simultaneously. Red hot flame suddenly soared from his body, the temperature in the entire drawing-room suddenly rising sharply, a pair of wings of flame extended from his back, immediately making this originally harmless-seeming handsome youth filled with an oppressive might. Bai He then realized it was because the king of all birds Phoenix as Ma Hongjun's spirit was their initiate fear come from.

The demonstration goes on then, Everybody sees Tang San's entire chain of attacks was as fluent as moving clouds and flowing water. All the Spirit Masters here were experts, and could naturally sense how frightening the attack power of the hidden weapons were. Of course, they also sensed ma Hongjun's formidable strength. He seemed to be blocking in a fl.u.s.ter, but very clearly, these hidden weapons still weren't enough to threaten him.

Tang San then said to clan head present there:

"Seniors, the full set of equipment I mentioned is all here. This is the full deployment of five hundred gold spirit coins. Of course, these still don't count as my Tang Sect's most tremendous hidden weapons. Only sect disciples have the right to use those most powerful ones. Seniors you have seen its effect against the animal spirit, Spirit masters. I will once again let my brother demonstrate the attack for you to let you know it's effective against the tool type spirits."

Tang Chen stepped forward and said:" Second brother, please step forward for demonstration to the seniors."

Oscar stepped forward and said:" Junior is Oscar. Forty fifth-ranked Spirit Expert." He already has summoned his spear from his spirit tool. Slowly two yellow, two purple rings emerged behind him. After that, the atmosphere changed around him as he brought out his spear intent. Oscar was training very hard since he picked his spear he simply fell in love with it, He fought everyone he can find to the point that he now has advanced his intent close to where Tang's brothers are. He especially fought with Tang Hao even Tang Hao was impressed by his determination and gave a special direction to him.

Tang Chen and Oscar's demonstration ended after a while. People were surprised by the weapons but more than Oscar formidable strength. They thought that this youth didn't use his spirit rings or it's abilities to block weapons. Yang Wudi who was silent all this time stood up and Said to Oscar: "That spear isn't your spirit, but you have progressed far in it, The spear is also very strong. Can you tell us what is your spirit?" As a person with spear spirit, he can tell the difference but others were shocked hearing this.

Oscar sighed and said: "Senior have sharp eyes Junior is 15 years old, 45th rank Food support type spirit master and Spirit: Sausages."

Everybody was shocked to hear, Forget about knowing they didn't hear such young 45th rank food spirit mater. They now seriously intrigued by the sect. It all seems Hunky Dory but it was arranged by Tang Chen he invited Ma Hongjun and Oscar especially because of Ma Hongjun's spirit and Oscar's use of spirit. It was all to intrigue Bai He And Yang Wudi respectively. With this first part of his plan succeeded.

Tang Chen again stepped forward and said: "Respected senior this was just only one of the aspects of benefits we are talking about. As, we told you, in the beginning, there were techniques that would complement your specialties. For further proving our point we ask seniors that they allow us brothers to Spar with a member of your clan below rank 70." Both Tang Chen and Tang San combine can take one of the clan heads, but they only wanted to gain the confidence and forgiveness of clan heads not to humiliate anyone of them. Both parties agreed. Tai Nuo and Niu ben were sent by both their clan heads. Tang Chen stepped forward and stood in front of them. They introduced themselves as Tai Nuo,59th rank soul king, vigorous Orangutan spirit and Niu Ben was 61rank soul emperor, Spirit: Armored plated giant rhinoceros.

Tang Chen introduced himself as "Tang Chen, 13 years old, Rank 53, Soul king, Spirits: Blue silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer." Tang Chen deliberately focused his soul power in his voice and spoke slowly so that everyone can hear about his talent and blessing. Both brothers are founders and future heads of the sect, they have to show off their talent to gain allies or members for their sect. His effort wasn't wasted every clan head had perked their ear after hearing this.

The battle didn't last even for 2 minutes Tang Chen summoned his blue silver spirit made a clone of himself. While original attacked Niu Ben with mystic jade hands sending him to a wall, his clone useful controlling crane to disrupt the flow and strength of Tai Nuo's fist and catching dragon after that to throw him to the wall next to Niu Ben. Both were knocked out. Others were truly surprised that Tang Chen defeated two opponents of higher ranks with only using one soul skill. Both Tai Tan and Niu Gao saw the techniques and knew how beneficial it will be for their one attribute clans. They now really wanted to Enter Tang Sect. But kept quiet for the moment.

Tang Chen went back and Tang San stepped forward he said to Bai He: "Junior just want to compete in pure speed for one incense stick if senior allows it."

Bai He just nodded his head and gestures his granddaughter to step forward, Bai Chenxiang stepped forward and said: "Bai Chenxiang, 13 years old, 32nd rank, soul ancestor, spirit: Needle Tailed swift bird."

Tang San replied:" Tang San,13 years old 51st rank, soul king, spirits: blue silver emperor and clear sky hammer."

The room suddenly went quiet. Now everyone realized how talented Tang Hao's sons were both are 13 years old soul king and to add to that they were rare twin spirit soul maters. They didn't know about the blue silver emperor but how can they not know about the Clear sky hammer spirit? Both kids have boundless prospects and were more talented than Tang Hao himself. This Tang sect has a very bright future with these two in them. They now realize that how these two 13-year-old kids were continuously stirring wave after wave and cunningly engaging them who were at least 6 or 7 times of their age to follow their lead. A must quality of a leader. They inwardly nodded their heads, not only them but even Tang Hao and Ah Yin were surprised by their sons' maturity.

The speed battle lasted for a while, by the clever use of Ghost shadow perplexing steps Tang San, created mirage effect and remain untouched not even summoning his spirits, while Bai Chenxiang used all her soul skills to enhance her speed.

After their competition ended Yang Wudi said he will have his clan member compete with Oscar if Tang brothers don't mind. Oscar and one soul king of breaking clan then battled, they tied after 30 minutes as they both were exhausted to even lift their hands. Oscar benefited from this confrontation. After Their battle, Tang Chen stepped towards Yang Wudi and said: "Junior heard from his father that your esteemed clan is famous for making medicine and poison. So junior ha especially prepared a present for your clan, if they entered Our sect. Please allow this junior to show his sincerity by showing the gift to senior."

Yang Wudi had already decided to enter the sect but was again intrigued at what Tang Chen has that he was so sure that he, Yang Wudi will definitely enter the Tang sect just by looking at his present. Others were also curious. Tang Chen took out a pale pink flower without leaves. The length of its stem was three chi and the diameter was two chi. Every petal of it looked as glittering and translucent as crystal.

"You're really giving it to me?" Yang Wudi's voice was somewhat trembling from excitement and exhilaration. "Good, this old fellow will follow you in the future. Ah… Why didn't you take it out at the beginning? Had you taken it out earlier, I would have already joined your sect. Only, say it first, your Tang Sect isn't allowed to restrict me."

Even Bai He who was close to Yang Wudi the most said: "is this flower really that important."

Yang Wudi put his nose over the big flower and sniffed at it with all his strength, dancing with joy like a madman, "Haha, hahahahaha, I've been searching for it for a lifetime, I never thought I'd be getting it this way. Aromatic silk beauty immortal treasure, with you, is there any poison I dare not make? Nor will there be any tragedies. Haha, excellent."

Yang Wudi looked at Bai He and said: "To you all, it may not be, However, to me, the Aromatic silk beauty immortal treasure is very vital. With it, I needn't be afraid of any medicine or poison when studying them. With it, I can try many materials that I didn't dare to try in the past. Moreover, its fragrance can also cause a lot of materials' effects to mutate and improve their effectiveness. For us Breaking Clan, this thing is a priceless treasure, even my life I won't begrudge."

Hearing this Tang Chen asked others: "Seniors what are your decisions, I can even give you a manual that will guarantee all your clan will progress fast and a pill for each of you, clan heads to reach Titled Douluo rank in a couple of years".

With this Tang Chen sealed the deal, Every spirit master wanted to be Titled Douluo, no one was the exception to this. When Four of them heard this They practically jumped and caught Tang Chen's shoulders. Tang Chen nodded towards them. The immediately knelt and pledged their loyalties then and there only. Their only demand was the sect must become subsidiary sect to clear sky sect as they knew Clear Sky Sect will not be willing to clear their hands from such talented sons of Tang Hao.

Bai He suddenly said: "But where will our sect's Headquarter be, We don't have such funds."

Tang Chen chucked and replied:" If one strength clan will allow, we will make this place our headquarter and purchase the landscape around, construct grander Headquarter here not only that it will also be a Fortress with our hidden weapon installed everywhere to accompany any unwanted guests. You don't have to worry about money our family will take care of it."

Tai Tan laughed at this and said: "Leave purchasing of lands and construction to me and Niu Gao. We will take care of it you all go and make preparations to move here in 3-4 months."

Tang Chen then took out Three medium and one large box in front of them and said: "Seniors let the money be this junior's parting gift to all of you. It will smooth the development of our Sect and your journey back to heaven dou city."

After discussing a while all other clan heads with their clansmen moved out deciding to return 4 months later. The foundation of Tang sect began Tang Chen told the clan heads that they will get their techniques, manual & hidden weapons when they will meet again in 4 months. Tang family with Oscar and Ma Hongjun returned to Shrek academy and told others about the successful meeting they had. Tang Chen has written the method of hundred and thousand refinement and gave it to Tai Tan as his help for letting them recruit more members to their sect.
