Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!

Who is Tang Feifei?

She is the legitimate granddaughter of Elder Tang of the Fengtian Faction, a powerful competitor for the core position in the future of the Fengtian Faction.

She herself is on the watch list of various families and factions!

Any new intelligence was almost instantly transmitted to the Sanctuary through various channels.

Thus, when Tang Feifei announced a week ago that she had become the Domain Master and was preparing to advance to a Fourth-order Cataclysmic,

it took barely a few minutes before all families and factions received the related intelligence.

At that time, everyone was truly shocked!

The first Domain Master of the Eighth Sanctuary! A Fourth-order Cataclysmic under the age of 30!

Either of these statuses were enough to shake the Sanctuary!

And yet, they both appeared in the same person?

How could this not astonish all families and factions!

Moreover, what's more important is... how long had it been?

Everyone vaguely remembered that the "Boundless Heart Sea Expansion" had only started just over a month ago, right?

And now it's already achieved?

Is "expanding" that simple?

Or was Tang Feifei just incredibly lucky?

Considering the impact of Tang Feifei's successful advancement on the whole situation of the Eighth Sanctuary, various families began to feel restless.

They each started to connect with the Fengtian Faction, gather intelligence, send spies to Xinjie City...

Among them, there were those who wished to sabotage Tang Feifei's advancement, but... Qiu Tu had daringly planned everything well in advance for Tang Feifei to face this challenge.

—Don't forget, to expand the "Boundless Heart Sea", the Fengtian Faction had several Third Order Cataclysmics experts in Xinjie City!

Without any Fourth-order stepping in, these people were enough to ensure Tang Feifei's safety.

Therefore, after discussing the right time for advancement with Tang Feifei, Qiu Tu arranged for these Third Order Cataclysmic experts to guard the perimeter of the villa.

Moreover, with Qiu Tu deploying heavy forces to encircle the villa inside and out, no one could disturb Tang Feifei.

That's why Tang Feifei was able to advance so smoothly!

And because no one deliberately caused trouble during this time, all factions within the Sanctuary had somewhat anticipated Tang Feifei's success.

This resulted in a relatively mild response from the factions of the Sanctuary when the news of Tang Feifei's successful advancement arrived today, only showing increased enthusiasm towards the Fengtian Faction.

After all... as one of the next core members of the Fengtian Faction, such a development ensured that the Fengtian Faction likely wouldn't decline for decades.

Thus, maintaining good relations with the Fengtian Faction is definitely beneficial for all factions.

Of course... what they wanted to get their hands on more was the insider details of Tang Feifei becoming the Domain Master and the shares in the "Xinjie Region" expansion...

In contrast to the other factions' underlying turbulence, within the Fengtian Faction it was different...

When Tang Jiancha arrived at Elder Tang's home,

Elder Tang was seated in the study, drinking tea with a long-missing smile on his face.

His steward, Fu Wenliang, was beside him, smiling as he praised the two jars of old wine on the tea table.

"Old master, it's your influence indeed. Old Zhou had hidden that wine for so long, and you managed to bring two jars back in one go. He must be heartbroken."

"That's the wine he only opened one jar of for his son's wedding, the old wine from before the Cataclysm, you know."

Upon hearing Steward Fu's words, Elder Tang couldn't stop smiling.

He stroked his graying beard, then proudly said, "It's not my influence; it's Fei Yatou's influence."

"Normally, if I asked for these two jars of old wine, Old Zhou would puff up his beard and glare, refusing to give them to me."

"Today, with the joyful occasion of Fei Yatou advancing to Fourth-order, I just grabbed these two jars of wine and ran."

"When he chased after me, I said the wine wasn't for me but that Fei Yatou wanted to drink it. He hesitated for a long time but eventually didn't catch up. Hahahaha."

The "Old Zhou" and "Old Master Zhou" they referred to is another family patriarch from the Fengtian Faction: the Old Master of the Zhou Family.

The core of the Fengtian Faction is composed of three major political families near the old site of the Eighth Sanctuary, "Fengtian City": the Tang family, Zhou Family, and Song Family.

These three major political families were powerful century-old families even before the Cataclysm, possessing enormous strength. Although the great Cataclysm caused them to lose a significant portion of their power, their remaining strength is still formidable.

Over the years, the unity among the three families, despite internal competition, has been benign. The three elders also have very good relations.

However, normally, the three elders emanate a natural air of authority that can make people tremble with just a glance.

They typically don't joke around or laugh heartily.

Today... such a childish demeanor is clearly because Tang Feifei has become a Domain Master and advanced to Fourth-order, which gave them hope for the faction's future, making them genuinely happy...

But as happy as the old master was, Tang Jiancha was somewhat sweating profusely.

Telling him bad news when he's at his happiest...

Tang Jiancha felt he really was scolded too little...

He felt he shouldn't have come tonight... He should have let the old master be happy tonight and come over tomorrow to talk.

Now, isn't this just upsetting the old master and himself?

Thinking this, Tang Jiancha also somewhat regretted it.

But... now that he was here, he definitely couldn't just turn around and leave, which would raise more suspicion.

So, he had no choice but to toughen up and called out, "Dad."

In fact... as soon as Tang Jiancha arrived at the study door, Elder Tang had seen him.
