I Can See Your Combat Power

: : Blood-colored Night Banquet

The closer he got to the Martial Hall, the more uneasy Tang Cunfu felt. As he approached the banquet further, his heart grew heavier.

The faint light emanating from the earth indicated that the Martial Hall’s defensive formations had been activated, covering the banquet area in the east like a semi-circular dome, no wonder no sound could be heard from the outside.

“What’s happening inside?” Tang Cunfu clenched his fists anxiously, his worries growing as Yun Piaopiao and the girls from Yun Mansion were still inside.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Standing before the light wall, Tang Cunfu struggled internally. One part of him argued that it was okay, the Martial Ancestor, the Secret Arts Pavilion elder, the Third Elder, the Martial Overlord were all there, and even the top-notch monks were in the Martial Hall beneath, with such a powerful lineup, nothing could go wrong and there was no need to go in.

Yet another voice kept reminding him that the Mi Clan, located at the heart of North Mountain, could not extend their attack silently here, so the activation of the Martial Hall’s defensive formation was not due to external factors. The guests at this banquet were all members of the martial clan from various generations, including those who had already participated in the battle.

The defensive formation was not for protection but to trap some people.

“No, I have to find out what’s going on inside!” Tang Cunfu had an inexplicable feeling of palpitation, and the internal struggle had now resulted in a decision.

Since he took charge of the Martial Hall, he got to know all the details about the formations in the North Mountain tribe due to his position, and while he was not in control, it was not difficult to manipulate his spiritual power at a certain frequency to make the formations cease to reject him.

Resolute, Tang Cunfu mobilized his Dantian Spirit Power, and a golden glow shone all over him instantly, resonating exactly like the light of the formation.

“If I were you, I wouldn’t do this.”

Tang Cunfu, shrouded in golden light, turned around and saw Tang Luo approaching the light wall, he asked sternly: “What do you mean?”

“Considering your wisdom, Cunfu, can’t you figure out who this formation is activated for?” Tang Luo shrugged, looking somewhat helpless.

If it wasn’t for Tang Xing taking his invitation, and pulling Tang Zhen into this, he wouldn’t be at the Martial Hall today.

The Mi Clan attacked Red Cloud Peak, and if it wasn’t for the protection of Martial Ancestor Tang Qian, he wouldn’t have been able to return in one piece. The expedition to the Minor Spirit Realm had already cost them a daughter, he didn’t want to see another daughter perish because of the mistake of his silly brother.

Hearing these words, Tang Cunfu remained expressionless, his golden glow flickering, signaling his inner turmoil.

How could he not know? Among this banquet, the only ‘outsiders’ were the ladies from Yun Mansion and Yun Piaopiao, but he suppressed this judgment, and until he saw it with his own eyes, he would not believe it.

The golden light became resolute again, and Tang Cunfu entered the formation.

Despite both being within the Martial Hall, the inside and outside of the formation felt like two different worlds. The sounds of killing and explosions were incessant, the hearty banquet had turned into a bloody feast, the whole venue was dyed red with blood. The martial artists of Tang Clan were hunting down the musicians and dancers of Yun Mansion, limbs and broken arms lay everywhere, overturned tables, dishes, all told Tang Cunfu that his worst fear had indeed materialized.

“No… This can’t be…” Tang Cunfu clenched his fists; he had to find Yun Piaopiao, he needed answers, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

Two warriors of the Martial Army were chasing a musician named Xiao Hui. Her white dress was soaked with blood, she dodged left and right with exquisite agility, but more and more wounds accumulated on her body. The warriors, like hunters toying with their prey, were only chasing the injured deer, hoping she would bleed to death.

The helpless Xiao Hui saw Tang Cunfu, her eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope, but two palms hit her back before she could get close.

Watching the familiar musician die before his eyes, Tang Cunfu was consumed with anger, his blood raging inside, and his neck vein pulsing.

“What are you doing? Stop! Everyone stop!” His enraged shout echoed throughout the formation, drawing everyone’s attention.

The warriors of the Martial Army nearby, hearing Tang Cunfu’s command, instinctively froze on the spot; even some of the martial artists at a distance, stopped their attack.

The girls from Yun Mansion, under his commanding shout, managed to catch a break, and they quickly gathered towards the backstage, confronting the Martial Army.

Despite the chaos, the important figures at the head of the table, apart from Tang Yi, who had gone to suppress Yun Piaopiao, remained seated. Hearing Tang Cunfu’s shout, the Third Elder Tang Zhenghao said to the Ancestor Tang Zu: “Cunfu has arrived.”

Tang Zu turned his head, shook it and sighed, “That’s good too.”

Better to see his own mistakes than to hear it from others’ mouths later, it would also help him think about how not to make the same mistakes in the future.

The mistake of a branch representative can be covered up, but if he takes another step forward, even if he is highly regarded, his error cannot be undone.

With Tang Cunfu’s shout, even Yun Piaopiao and Tang Yi who had been fighting were stunned, allowing the fight at the banquet to pause, and finally, everyone could sort out what happened that night.

Not just Tang Cunfu, but also the representatives of the several martial clans who had come to participate in the farewell banquet and the branch clan leaders were confused. They couldn’t understand why the Martial Army suddenly attacked backstage. They were even more puzzled about how these musicians and dancers, who seemed defenseless, could fight back against the Martial Army’s warriors.

However, as branch clan leaders, they realized questioning directly would show a lack of respect. Now that their representative had appeared, they started questioning Tang Cunfu.

“Representative Cunfu, what on earth is happening?”

“Representative Cunfu, isn’t Lady Yun your concubine? How is she so powerful?”

“Representative Cunfu, how are these ladies of Yun Mansion so powerful? I heard Yin Liu Jia could only make their bodies weak?”

“Representative Cunfu…” “Representative Cunfu…..”

As soon as Tang Cunfu appeared, numerous questions arose. But as the first branch representative, he was unable to answer them all.

With a bitter smile and a shake of his head, Tang Cunfu waved his hand to signal everyone to keep quiet, he said with a bitter tone, “I also want to know the answer to your questions, so please give me some time.”

The crowd nodded in understanding and became quiet again.

But there was a hidden pity in some of the clan leaders’ eyes because they had roughly guessed why the Martial Army would carry out a massacre on the family of a branch representative.
