The mysterious woman turned her head and said, "Don't worry, I won't run away. After all, I will still have use for you in the future. Now that Wang Zihao and his men are already attacking the Tang Sect's base, you should hurry over to help out."

After saying this, the mysterious woman left.

Chu Xiaoxiao asked skeptically, "Master, can we trust what she says?"

Xu Hao watched the mysterious woman's disappearing figure and smiled, "There's quite a bit of credibility to it, just not clear what her exact purpose is. She must have some close relationship with the Tang Sect; otherwise, she wouldn't be so proactive. After all, she has made some sacrifices. This disk's role is undoubtedly significant, and just speaking of it must bear some risks. But for now, this is merely a transaction, each taking what they need."

...

The Tang Sect's base was located amidst a continuous mountain range.

As a sect famous for assassination, the Tang Sect has always been very secretive. They usually handle assignments outside and won't let anyone know the location of their base because, being assassins, they'd have numerous enemies. Naturally, they must protect their base well.

However, no matter how you guard against outsiders, it's hard to guard against insiders.

Today, everyone in the Tang Sect was very tense because they were facing an enemy they never expected!

The Great Elder's son, Tang Jing!

At this moment, in front of the towering gate of the Tang Sect, Tang Jing, leading a large group of people, was yelling at the entrance, "Listen up inside, I'm here at the Tang Sect not to kill anyone, nor to occupy the Tang Sect. I'm simply here to take something. Give me the item, and we leave immediately!"

Inside the gate, the Young Clan Leader of the Tang Sect, Tang Batian, led a group of Tang Sect disciples, coldly watching Tang Jing and his people.

His eyes were full of anger. If looks could kill, he would have killed Tang Jing long ago!

Originally, it should have been his father, the Sect Leader of the Tang Sect, Tang Changde, standing here to lead the Tang Sect disciples in resisting the outsiders. But Tang Changde had been confined by the Great Elder of the Tang Sect, Tang Jing's father. He didn't know what poison was used, but it rendered Tang Changde's cultivation unable to be exerted, turning him into a useless person for the time being.

This left Tang Batian feeling very aggrieved; his father had been ambushed.

Tang Jing sneered, "That's because your father is stubborn and senseless! Right now, the number one enemy before us is undoubtedly Xu Hao. If we don't get rid of him quickly, there will be endless troubles! We're willing to put in the effort; we just need to use the Tang Sect's Treasure, but you all? You're stingy and unwilling to use it!"

Tang Batian replied coldly, "How could the Tang Sect's Treasure be used just like that? It's absolutely forbidden to use it unless the sect faces a life-or-death crisis! Moreover, with your character, who doesn't know that once we give it to you, it's like a meat bun thrown to a dog, never to return?"

Tang Jing replied coldly, "You're speaking too harshly! What do you mean by throwing a meat bun to a dog? Is that what you think of me, Tang Jing?"

Tang Batian said angrily, "Humph! Who doesn't know what trash Tang Jing is? Your father and you are both the same kind of people. My father was truly blind back then to let your father become the Great Elder!"

Wang Zihao laughed, "Brother Batian, calm down. We're not here to fight today. Everyone knows each other; harmony brings wealth. That Treasure sitting in the Tang Sect is just idle; it might as well be used by us, don't you think? Otherwise, my brothers behind me aren't happy either! We came all this way, only to return empty-handed, who would be happy?"

Tang Batian coldly glanced at Wang Zihao. Back then, Wang Zihao was just an ordinary person who knew nothing, but he had a stroke of luck, and now his strength even surpassed Tang Batian's, making Tang Batian somewhat resentful.

He replied coldly, "Wang Zihao, just because your strength has improved doesn't mean you can do whatever you want in our Tang Sect! Who among the Tang Sect's disciples fears these outsiders?!"

"We're not afraid!"

In an instant, hundreds shouted, their voices deafening.

But Tang Jing sneered, "Ha! Are you all still planning to rely on the Mountain Protection Array for defense? Have you forgotten that my father is the Great Elder? Though Great Elders typically don't have methods to open or close the Sect Great Array, my father does! If you're thinking of using the sect array to keep us out, you're thinking too far ahead!"

Upon hearing Tang Jing's words, many Tang Sect disciples' faces instantly changed.

No one expected him to be so ruthless!

The Great Elder of the Tang Sect had long had ulterior motives!

And he's the Great Elder!

The esteemed Great Elder of the Tang Sect, yet he was the first to harbor betrayal against the sect, leaving many deeply disappointed. No one expected he would betray the Tang Sect!

This is incredibly unbelievable; why would he confine the Sect Leader and disable the Mountain Protection Array?
