The situation took an entirely reversed turn after the show of power. The elders of the Tang Clan, who had previously remained silent, rallied to Tang Luo’s side one by one, advising the Great Elder to make peace.

Of course, Tang Luo understood why these people had made such a radical change. Their initial silence was due to weighing the pros and cons, and their current behaviour was for the same reason. Because when he displayed his realm, he was no longer a junior member, but the future that the Tang Clan had ever longed for – a King Realm martial artist of the Tang Family.

“Great Elder, what do you say?” Tang Luo glanced at Tang Siyuan and talked faintly.

Now that everyone in the hall was on his side, even those elders who once agreed to strip off the Great Elder’s title, he wanted to see if the Great Elder would still act on his own at this time.

Tang Siyuan just stared at Tang Luo, his eyes filled with shock, joy, and disbelief, but not anger.

After carefully feeling Tang Luo’s momentum, his eyes became exceptionally kind. He said to Tang Luo with a smile, “I was careless! Master Luo’s words are extremely accurate. I am old and react slowly. Upon careful consideration of the proposal, I believe it is advantageous without any harm, it should be passed, and I will be the first to support!”

He then sat down with an ease expression as if he had only just responded.

What a maneuver! Ah, my Great Elder! Tang Luo was dumbfounded by Tang Siyuan’s moves.

As the head of the elders of Tang Clan, his intuition for timing and retreat was ingrained in him. Not to mention his thick skin was stunning. His sharp transition in words, his sincere language, and his humble attitude were entirely different from his dominating behavior just now.

Confronting such a Great Elder gave Tang Luo the feeling of throwing a punch into a pile of cotton wool. The other party had already lowered their status so much. Was it necessary to push them further?

All he could do was bow to Tang Siyuan and say, “Great Elder, I admire your move!”

This wasn’t a sarcasm, but a genuine admiration from within. Who among the powerful didn’t have a temper, especially when confronted by a young challenger?

But getting angry is an instinct, while suppressing anger is a skill. Observing his own revealed strength, Tang Siyuan was able to adjust his state of mind in such a short time, which is an extremely difficult thing to do.

The elite education of the clan has determined that there is no mediocrity among those who can sit in this position. His moves left a deep impression on Tang Luo.

With Tang Siyuan’s concession, the voting for the five-acre order proceeded smoothly. After a round of voting,

Clan leader Tang Zhi, with a smiling face, announced, “Everyone, Elder Luo’s Five Acre Order has officially passed. It will be carried out by the house of studies, with the cooperation of the clan house, and the order will be released in three days.”

“We will obey the clan leader’s order!” The crowd answered in unison.

Tang Zhi nodded, put away his smile and said seriously, “And one more thing! The realm displayed by Tang Luo today, you all must keep it confidential. All martial artists from the martial arts house present today, go directly to the back mountain of the house to have retreat for ten years after this assembly!” “We will obey the clan leader’s order!” The crowd spoke again in unison.

But this statement surprised Tang Luo. Although he knew that the exposure of his realm would surely amaze everyone, he had thought about asking everyone to keep it a secret, but he didn’t expect that clan leader Tang Zhi had not only thought ahead but also taken such a radical approach.

Everyone here was the core figure of the Tang Clan. Those in high positions could naturally control their own tongues, but these martial artists were different. They just happened to be on duty today. These warriors were all devoted to the Tang Clan. It was hard for Tang Luo to accept the punishment of ten-year seclusion just because they had seen a secret they weren’t supposed to. Seclusion is equivalent to living in isolation from the world; they cannot see their loved ones, clan members, let alone go out. This was no different from imprisonment.

“Clan Leader, the martial artists of the martial arts house are loyal to our Tang Clan. I believe they will keep this secret. Why is there a need to punish them for this cruelty with ten years of closure!” Tang Luo spoke to persuade the other. He really couldn’t bear the sight of these twenty or thirty-year-old warriors spending the next ten years in isolation.

Several elders shook their heads at Tang Luo’s words, sighing in their hearts: he’s a young man after all, his heart is too soft! Only dead men keep secrets. If Tang Zhi hadn’t proposed to close them for ten years, they would have been asked to commit suicide after the assembly ended!

Clan Leader Tang Zhi, hearing Tang Luo’s words, said with a soothing smile, “Elder Luo, don’t mind. This group of warriors need to breakthrough through diligent cultivation. Ten years pass in a blink, this is not a punishment but a grace. You should know that the retreat in the back mountain has always been a treatment that only those above the master of the division can enjoy.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Perhaps in the eyes of these people in power, they did not believe that these warriors could keep a secret, whether it was a boast after a drink, a show off to a relative out of pride, or a slip of the tongue.

Not killing these warriors was solely because of their loyalty to the Tang Clan for generations, and also a portion of them were descendants of the clan. But it’s impossible to let them go naturally.

Tang Luo still wanted to plead for them. However, he heard the warriors standing behind him say to Tang Zhi in unison, “Thanks for the grace, Clan leader!”

Looking back at these warriors, Tang Luo couldn’t bear it. They were all looking at Tang Zhi and himself with incredibly admiring eyes. They gladly accepted this ten-year seclusion penalty. They were proud of their achievements and gave all their loyalty to the people present.

Ironically, this trust was not mutual because these people simply did not believe that they could keep the secret. Why else would there be this decade of seclusion?

Tang Luo felt very heavy-hearted. He suddenly felt regret. If he could have compromised a little, there was no need for the situation to develop to the point where he had to reveal his realm. In that case, not only his secret realm would have been kept, but these warriors would not have lost their freedom either.

All the mediocre people throughout history failed because of laziness; all the talented people throughout history failed because of arrogance. The ancients indeed did not deceive when they said this.

Because of his own arrogance, the Five Acre Order was passed and benefited millions of commoners in Grand Soaring City, but because of his arrogance, dozens of warriors lost their freedom for ten years. These were truly innocent people, but he had no way to save them, casting a shadow over this victory.

He was still not powerful enough. Tang Luo’s face was filled with gloom. If he had the realm of the King now, he wouldn’t have involved these warriors.

Money could solve 90% of everything; for the remaining problems, brute force was used to resolve them!

With the passage of the motion, everyone looked happy, the only exception was Tang Luo, under whose frowning face was deep gloom. People thought that the intense clash with the Great Elder had not yet resolved the knot in his heart, nobody knew that he was actually worrying about the warriors who were going to be closed for ten years.

Perhaps in the eyes of these people in high positions, even the lives of these ordinary martial artists from the martial arts house were worthless, let alone their freedom.

Seeing Tang Luo’s expression, Tang Zhi said, “The assembly is over, everyone may leave. Master Luo please stay for a moment and review the details of the Five Acre Ruling..”
