Xu Longsheng turned to Tan Zheng, silently asking for his opinion.
Tan Zheng nodded in profound resignation. He didn't dare to risk their lives to offend Fang Shen.
He was not sure about fleeing from Fang Shen.
Fang Shen used such a powerful skill effortlessly. Tan Zheng guessed that there was a strong possibility that Fang had more powerful skills.
Tan Zheng found a seat and sat down, sighing to himself, "Fang Clan is still as strong as before. Though something happened to Fang Clan and it is not one of the top ten clans in the State of Huaxia anymore, it has such a talented descendant. The members of Fang Clan have withdrawn from society and lived in solitude for several years. It turns out to be a perfect decision. Though Dugu Faction enjoys a long history, it is nothing comparable to Fang Clan."
The founder of Dugu Faction had established the faction about a thousand year ago. But the Fang Clan enjoyed a history of more than two thousand years. No wonder Fang Clan had so many gifted descendants and rich resources.
Tan Zheng thought Fang Shen's skill was developed by the Fang Clan during these years. Otherwise, Fang was unable to have so powerful skill.
Tan Zheng sat there, quite nervous. He was afraid that Fang Shen would burn him to ashes with the black flames.
He had served Xu Longsheng for nearly a year. Xu Longsheng was also a talents person in martial skills. He was ruthless and treated others' lives as nothing. Xu once killed several people without wavering even a second. Tan Zheng thought Fang Shen and Xu were of the same kind.
Tan Zheng had short dry coughs and took a deep breath to calm himself down. He swallowed and said with a flattering smile, "Mr. Fang, according to the information I have, five clans and five factions joined together to deal with Fang Wen."
Fang Shen's face soured at what he said. Fang Wen was his father's name.
Tan Zheng continued, "I don't know why they joined together to fight against your father as it was top secret. Many people who joined the action didn't know the purpose either. I'm afraid that only our former leader knew the reason. Ten years ago, he suddenly went to the capital city. Before then, he had stayed in the Dugu Faction for years. After coming back, he gathered several members in the faction. Before long, the thing happened."
Seeing Fang Shen's angry face, Tan Zheng immediately explained, "Our former leader died three years ago. I don't think the members in Dugu Faction know the secret."
Tan Zheng was looking at ways to disentangle Dugu Faction from what had happened ten years ago.
He turned to Fang Shen in an attempt to figure out what he was thinking about.
Fang Shen, however, remained poker-faced. Tan Zheng was unable to know what he was thinking about.
Tan Zheng thought to himself, "What a monster this young man is! He is not only highly skilled in cultivation, but also much smarter than his contemporaries. As long as he is not killed, he is sure to be somebody in the future. Fang Clan will be able to rise again. It's a piece of cake for Fang Clan to regain its past glory. It may even rank among the top three clans in the State of Huaxia."
Fang Shen let his eyes settle upon Tan Zheng, demanding, "Go on."
Tan Zheng continued, "As for the five clans and five factions joining the action, Mr. Fang, I'm not aware of the rest nine. This is top secret, and I have no way to figure it out."
