"However, the Tang Sect Disciple Code of Conduct still needs to be distributed to your subordinates for them to review."
"If someone makes a mistake in the future, I think you will be able to solve it well without our intervention."
As Tang Lan spoke, a book appeared in his hand, which he threw to Honglian.
After just a few glances, Honglian quickly agreed.
Because she found that there were some very simple regulations, the requirements were not high, and there was no need to pay too much attention.
Because anyone who violates the rules is a very evil person, even if Tang Lan does not take action, she will clean up the mess herself.
"From today on, I, Yunshang Yaju, declare my loyalty to the Tang Sect. If I betray you, heaven and earth will not tolerate it, and my body and soul will be shattered!"
Honglian supported his weak body and walked to the highest point of Yunshang Yaju, then announced while focusing on soul power in his voice.
This sentence immediately spread to the area within a few miles.
Countless people heard Honglian's words at this moment. They were all thinking and wondering, wondering what kind of force this Tang Sect was.
Why have they never heard of it.
Tang Lan and others who had intended to leave the next day changed their original plans because of Yunshang Yaju's oath of allegiance.
He then discussed the next plan with Honglian and Yuan Yan.
In the empty meeting room, there is a huge square table in the center. (End of this chapter)
Chapter 939 Tang Lan's Decision
Sitting in the first seat was Tang Ya, and Tang Lan sat next to her.
In addition to the people from the Tang Sect, there were also several senior executives from Yunshang Yaju sitting on both sides.
He is also one of the few Soul Saint masters.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Hong Lian spoke up, "According to the intelligence our people have gathered, there are two Titled Douluo in the Mad Lion Sect, one of whom has been killed by the deputy sect master."
"On the other side is the leader of the Mad Lion Sect, Chang Tianba. This person is extremely domineering and is a level 94 Titled Douluo."
“In addition, the Mad Lion Sect has about nine Soul Douluos, making it the strongest of the three factions.
The number of Soul Saints has reached thirty-one."
In the next half hour, Honglian gave a general report on the overall strength of the Mad Lion Sect, Purple Bamboo Pavilion and Fengyue Tower, including the number of soul masters above the Soul Sage level.
Adding the three parties together, there are three Titled Douluo, twenty-one Soul Douluo, and as many as eighty Soul Sages.
In comparison, the number of people on the Tang Sect side seemed a little shorthanded.
The only one who can fight against the strength of Titled Douluo is Tang Lan.
There is no Soul Master at the Soul Douluo level in the original Tang Sect except for the four Soul Masters of Honglian who have just joined.
There are two Soul Saints from the original Tang Sect, Fang Zi and Vina.
Vina cannot take action easily for the time being due to her own reasons, so she can be completely excluded.
With such a detailed calculation, except for Tang Lan who is the key point that can turn the tide of the battle, all the soul masters of the lower levels are not at an advantage.
But Tang Lan felt that as long as Tang Ya, Huo Yuhao and others gathered together, they would be able to exert several times more power than them.
This is the undoubted strength of the talented students in Shrek Academy.
"Right now, if we confront the three forces head-on, we will inevitably be at a disadvantage and lose."
"My deal is to temporarily shrink my sphere of influence in order to seek development. When I have accumulated enough strength, I will look for an opportunity to seek revenge on them."
"For the time being, we must protect Feiyan City and the three nearby branches, Tianjiao City and Guyan City."
"As for the other four branches, we can only give them to them temporarily. This is the best way I can think of to preserve our strength so far."
As the outer sect elder of the Tang Sect at this time, Honglian made what she thought was the most rational judgment.
She did not include previous hatred and anger in her plan, but was a smart person who truly thought rationally.
"But sister, those are the resources and power we spent nearly ten years to gain. Would you be willing to just give them up like this?"
Honglian's younger brother Yuan Yan couldn't help but speak.
As for the remaining seven cities, every branch was obtained by him and his brothers' lives, so how could he be willing to give them up?
"There is no such thing as being willing or unwilling. As long as we can have the last laugh, everything will be ours."
"Focusing on the gains and losses in front of us will only make us lose more and greater amounts."
Honglian suddenly turned her head and looked at her brother Yuan Yan in a lecturing tone.
This time Yuan Yan was speechless, because he knew that what his sister said was right.
"Well, what you said is correct. Being able to think so far ahead is indeed worthy of the position of the Tang Sect elder."
"But this reduction in strength must be planned. My Tang Sect never likes to suffer losses. If they take over our four branches, we must double our efforts to take them back immediately."
"Since you want to shrink your power, why don't you take Lu Yuancheng as well?"
"You know, it's only less than a hundred kilometers away from us."
As Tang Lan spoke, he picked up a pen and circled the location of Lu Yuan City on the map on the table.
Luyuan City is located less than a hundred miles north of Feiyan City, but it is the largest city within a radius of 500 miles.
Within the territory controlled by the empire, Luyuan City has always been known as the capital of Luling County.
On weekdays, all orders issued are from Luyuan City and sent in batches to surrounding cities of all sizes.
The size and total resources of a Luyuan city are more than enough to match the sum of three small cities.
"What? You mean, take the initiative to attack and take down the branches of the three forces in Luyuan City?"
"This is such a bold idea!!"
After understanding Tang Lan's plan, the Honglian siblings looked at each other, their eyes shrinking violently.
Tang Lan was the first person they had ever seen who could make such a bold and domineering decision.
But Honglian still had to remind him at this time: "Our branch in Luyuan City is very weak. It was established less than a year ago and has not gained a firm foothold in the local area at all."
"In addition to our four forces, there are four other forces in Luyuan City. Everyone knows it and restrains each other. In addition, the City Lord's Mansion has issued a clear ban, so there has not been any major disputes for the time being."
Honglian gave Tang Lan a brief introduction to the current situation in Luyuan City.
In her opinion, Luyuan City is indeed a good place, but it is also extremely difficult to intervene in it.
If the noise is too loud, they may even be suppressed by the City Lord's Mansion or driven out of Luyuan City.
However, this time, Tang Lan, Tang Ya and others all laughed.
No matter whether it is the token of Shrek Academy or the token of Tang Sect, both can make the City Lord's Mansion show some courtesy and dare not interfere in the disputes in the soul master world.
"We naturally have ways to prevent the City Lord's Mansion from interfering in the matter, and we can even get them to help us secretly."
"And the three forces will definitely take the lead in annexing our forces on the periphery in the near future. What we need to do now is to mobilize all of our people from the remaining ten cities back."
"They would never have thought that we would raid their garrison branch in Luyuan City."
"By then, half of Luyuan City will be in our hands."
Tang Lan's voice suddenly carried a touch of majesty, causing everyone to stand up involuntarily.
The Honglian siblings bowed respectfully towards Tang Lan, and then said together: "Yes, we will do it!"
At this moment, everyone's blood was boiling.
If Tang Lan's plan succeeds, the strength of the Tang Sect and Yunshang Yaju, which is affiliated with the Tang Sect, will not only not weaken, but will even be greatly enhanced.
If they occupy Luyuan City, their future development will be smooth and they will become increasingly powerful.
The meeting lasted nearly three hours before Honglian hurriedly left with her brother Yuan Yan.
We should urgently go and mobilize the members outside to rush back.
The next night, news came from the spies at Yunshang Yaju.
The four cities of the outermost Yunshang Yaju have been forcibly captured by the three forces.
However, the soul master of Yunshang Yaju had already left the branch one day in advance, leaving only an empty shell for the other party.
Almost everything that could be taken away was taken away, and everything that could not be taken away was burned in a fire. (End of this chapter)
Chapter 940: Night Visit to the City Lord's Mansion
All that was left to them was an empty shell, with only a few ruins inside.
The people from the Tang Clan had already entered Luyuan City the day before.
Before dawn the next day, the people from the Tang Clan had already appeared on the street dressed in black.
According to the location given by Honglian, the three forces were in different streets. The farthest one was about ten miles apart, and the other two were only four miles apart.
Two of them are in East City and one in South City.
The City Lord's Mansion is located in the North City, so Tang Lan went there specifically to meet with the City Lord of Luyuan City.
"Outsiders are not allowed to enter the City Lord's Mansion. Leave quickly if you know what's best for you, or I'll call for help!"
The guard standing at the door saw Tang Lan, Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao walking towards the door, and immediately reminded them in a bad voice.
In his view, these people were just some young people in the city looking for excitement.
If they break into the mansion, the guards will be punished by the city lord.
"Tell your city lord that there is a guest outside the door who wants to see you!"
Tang Lan had a calm expression as he spoke to the guard.
"Huh? Which academy are you guys from? How dare you keep making trouble here!"
"If you don't leave, don't blame us for being rude!"
Another guard, Tang Lan and others, were still unwilling to leave.
With a gloomy face, he raised the spear in his hand and walked towards Tang Lan and others.
"Humph, if you dare to do that, I think you are tired of living!"
Ma Xiaotao's hot temper was instantly ignited. Without thinking twice, she reached out and grabbed the spear in the guy's hand, then kicked him out.
With a bang, the armored guard was kicked away by Ma Xiaotao and hit the gate of the City Lord's Mansion heavily.
"What's going on? Quick, someone broke into the City Lord's Mansion without permission, capture them!"
When the guards who were patrolling not far away heard the fighting here, more than twenty guards came running towards Tang Lan and others.
Tang Ya looked helpless at the moment. It seemed that her original idea of a gentle negotiation was not going to work.
After half a stick of incense,
boom! !
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard in the City Lord's Mansion.
It turned out that Tang Lan had punched the door of the inner courtyard and was about to charge into the courtyards at the back.
"Who, who on earth is it? How dare you be so bold!"
Soon, a middle-aged man who had just put on his clothes in a panic came to the front garden accompanied by his confidants.
"City Lord Qu Heng, you have such great authority! Why don't you take a look at what this is?"
Ma Xiaotao snorted, then threw out a Shrek Academy token in her hand.
After taking the token, the city lord named Qu Heng looked at it carefully for a moment, then his whole body was shocked and his face was full of horror.
But before this guy could speak, Tang Ya threw a token to him and said, "There's also this!"
One side is the token of Shrek Academy, and the other side is the token of Tang Sect.
After seeing the two tokens clearly, Qu Heng, the Lord Mayor of Luyuan City, fell to his knees on the ground.
He then quickly begged for mercy, saying, "I didn't know you gentlemen were here. Please forgive me!"
Then, in front of the guards around him, he kowtowed solemnly to Tang Lan and others.
The current Shrek Academy Sea God Pavilion Master, Mu En, is the honorary imperial teacher of the Tianhun Empire.
