In all his years of life, he had never encountered anything so strange.
Who exactly is the boy in white?
The elders were also deeply shocked and horrified.
Because at the same time, they could feel a power like divine strength that easily bound them, making them unable to move at all.
Only at this moment did they realize just how strong the boy in white was!
Even if all seventeen of them unleashed their strongest attack together, they would still be no match for the white-robed youth.
The two sides are simply not on the same level.
As for just how strong the white-clad youth was, it was ultimately beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like them.
"Cough cough."
After removing the restraints from the seventeen elders, Zhang Yun slowly glanced at everyone present, coughed lightly, and said leisurely, "Let me introduce myself first. I do not belong to this world."
Zhang Yun had just finished speaking when everyone present was utterly astonished, feeling as if their brains were about to explode.
Does "not belonging to this world" mean that the boy in white comes from another world?
"To be honest, I brought out samples of all the hidden weapons from the Tang Clan's forbidden area, and also noted down the manufacturing methods and uses of each hidden weapon."
"Don't be angry, because it won't do you any good. With your pathetic skills, you have no chance of taking anything from me."
Zhang Yun said calmly, not that he underestimated the elders of the Tang Clan, but that the martial power of this world was only slightly higher than that of Earth.
Zhang Yun was able to fight these elders using his own strength.
He simply didn't want to waste time.
As Zhang Yun had predicted, the elders clutched their chests upon hearing this, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood, and glared angrily at Zhang Yun.
If looks could kill, Zhang Yun would have died a thousand times over.
Mr. Tang was consumed by rage. If he hadn't retained a shred of reason, he might have already rushed forward to fight Zhang Yun to the death.
What a terrible thing to do.
The secrets and development foundation that the Tang Clan has preserved for countless years have now been taken away by an unknown white-robed youth, and they can only watch helplessly!
"Alright, let's get down to business now."
As if completely oblivious to the murderous gazes around him, Zhang Yun remained calm and composed as he slowly sat down in the main seat, looking at Tang Lian: "Tang Lian, I now formally bestow upon you the position of Tang Clan Leader, and also entrust you with the affairs of various factions in the martial world."
"In other words, you are now not only the leader of the Tang Clan, but also the leader of the martial arts alliance."
What?
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this, and their faces turned extremely pale.
Judging from Zhang Yun's demeanor, he doesn't act like an outsider at all. He's even acting superior, talking to himself as if everyone has to listen to him!
This brought Mr. Tang's inner rage to the brink of explosion.
"Since its founding, the Tang Clan has only sought survival and self-sufficiency, and has never had any intention of vying for supremacy in the martial arts world. I am sorry, but I cannot agree to your position as the leader of the martial arts alliance."
Tang Lian steadied herself and said, "As for the position of Tang Clan leader, with my master still alive, how could I possibly harbor any rebellious thoughts about seizing the position?"
"Seize the throne?" Zhang Yun's eyes flickered slightly. "Brother Tang Lian, you're exaggerating. The Tang Clan's leader has been in seclusion for many years and hasn't appeared yet. The Tang Clan must have someone in charge, otherwise it's not good to keep troubling Master Tang. Master Tang, don't you agree?"
"Why should we listen to you?" Tang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. The Tang Clan has stood tall in the martial arts world for so many years. When did it become the place for an outsider to point fingers at them?
"I know that the Tang Clan has no ambition to dominate the martial arts world."
Zhang Yun slowly said, "However, I believe everyone understands the principle that 'a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.'"
"Just like yesterday, the shocking killing trap set up by the alliance of various martial arts factions would have been unimaginable for the Tang Clan if it weren't for me."
Mr. Tang nodded slightly upon hearing this. He did not deny this, but he still maintained a high degree of vigilance towards Zhang Yun.
"Now that you have obtained the Tang Clan's top secrets, why are you still unwilling to leave? What is your ultimate goal?"
"My ultimate goal is naturally to promote the harmonious development of all factions in the martial arts world and create a golden age for martial arts."
Zhang Yun laughed, causing Mr. Tang to narrow his eyes slightly. "Only a fool would believe that."
"You all saw it yesterday. Almost all the sects in the martial arts world have submitted to me. As long as I give the order, they will attack the Tang Clan with all their might. Although the Tang Family Fortress is heavily guarded and full of traps, it is only a matter of time before it is breached."
"Putting everything else aside, my strength alone is enough to wipe out the entire Tangjiabao."
Zhang Yun suddenly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said solemnly, "I'm here to inform you, not to discuss anything with you."
"I'm only giving you one day to think it over. Think it over carefully."
The elders of the Tang Clan and Tang Lian all looked rather grim at this moment, simply because Zhang Yun was too domineering. These elders, who were usually high and mighty, didn't even have a chance to refute him.
Zhang Yun had already laid out the words: if they didn't agree, the Tang Clan might face annihilation.
Throughout its history, the Tang Clan has never been subservient to anyone.
Is the Tang Clan about to undergo a major upheaval this time?
"Who dares to bully my Tang Clan disciples on my territory?"
Just then, a thunderous, aged voice resounded through the heavens and earth, coming from a great distance, causing Mr. Tang and the others to show a hint of joy on their faces.
