Chapter 221 Challenge
There were only two people standing present: Tang Zheng and Mu Hongyan.
Mu Hongyan was stunned as this scene was just like a dream, it was too unreal. In her world view, she does not have the habit of kneeling down to others.
Moreover, they were not forced to do so. Instead, they were sincere in their intentions.
She looked at Tang Zheng, not knowing how he could be so capable. Just who was this Wu clan\'s Emissary, Emissary was actually able to make them so willingly.
Tang Zheng froze for a moment before recovering his senses, not knowing what to say.
The Elder knelt at the very front and said loudly, "The Wu Clan welcomes the arrival of the Emissary."
"The Wu Clan welcomes the arrival of the Emissary!" The earth-shattering shouts shocked everyone.
Tang Zheng felt that he should say something, so he coughed dryly. After holding back for a long time, he only said one sentence: "Everyone, please rise."
No one got up, because the Elder said, "I beg of you, Emissary, please save us from the sea of suffering."
"I beg you, Emissary, to save us from the sea of suffering." The shouts came again.
Tang Zheng originally did not care much for the Emissary\'s identity, he wanted to find an opportunity to leave once his injuries had healed.
No wondered if the Elder had seen through his thoughts or not, but after causing such a grand scene that was completely unfolding, there was no way for him to retreat at all.
Looking at the gazes filled with hope from the men, women, elders, and children, Tang Zheng knew that if he agreed this time, then he would have to fulfill his promise.
However, those eyes made it impossible for him to refuse. Besides, his own life was saved by the Wu clan, and it was reasonable for him to agree to their request.
Therefore, he said seriously, "Everyone respects me as the Wu Clan\'s Emissary. I don\'t understand what virtue or ability I have to shoulder such a heavy responsibility, but I will do my best to let everyone leave these hundred thousand mountains."
"Thank you, Lord Emissary!" Tremendous thanks and cheers rang out, and many people had tears streaming down their cheeks. This was the wish of who knew how many generations they had been waiting for, and now, they finally had a chance to fulfill it.
"Elder, tell everyone to stand up, it\'s not good to kneel like this." Tang Zheng hurriedly supported the Elder and said in a low voice.
The Elder was so excited that his hands were trembling. Tears welled up in his eyes as he said, "It is an honor for us to kneel before Lord Emissary who would lead the Wu clan out of the sea of suffering."
Tang Zheng rolled his eyes, this old man was determined, and unhappily said: "Didn\'t you say I was the Emissary?" Then listen to me and tell them to get up. "
Sure enough, the effect of raising his face was not bad. The Elder hurriedly ordered everyone to stand up, but he still stood in the middle of the square and stared at Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng felt as if he was about to be melted by these passionate gazes as he pulled the Elder and said: "Elder, even though you kept on saying that I can lead you out of the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range, I do not have absolute confidence."
The Elder firmly shook his head, "There is no need for you to be modest. Tomorrow, we will go to the Sacred Land and everything will become clear."
Tang Zheng had no other choice but to do so.
That night, the huge square was set ablaze as all the Wu Clan members gathered together to celebrate the arrival of the Emissary. Tang Zheng and Mu Hongyan were naturally the distinguished guests as they sat at the main table with the Elders accompanying them.
Mu Hongyan looked at the crowd gathered around the bonfire to celebrate, as she was used to seeing such grand occasions and was deeply shocked by this sincere admiration and joy. From time to time she would turn her head to look at Tang Zheng.
Under the shine of the firelight, the corners of his face were sharp, and there was an additional trace of a mysterious aura that caused her can\'t help but want to investigate him.
Mu Hongyan had seen countless successful men but compared to the current Tang Zheng, they were nothing. Even if they were worth billions of dollars, they would not be able to compare to him.
He was like a huge black hole, attracting people\'s attention and hearts.
Tang Zheng looked at the bonfire, his gaze was unconsciously attracted to the four stone statues surrounding the plaza. Under the light of the fire, these stone statues became even more mysterious.
"Elder, I heard that these stone statues are the Guardian Gods of the Wu clan, but they are stone statues. How can they protect the Wu Clan?" Tang Zheng asked curiously.
The Elder retracted his gaze and respectfully said, "The legend of the Guardian God is passed down from generation to generation. I don\'t know much about the Guardian God."
Tang Zheng felt a bit regretful as even the Elders were not clear on the matter of the Guardian God, so he could not ask, than he changed his question: "The Wu Clan members are all very strong, why is that?"
The Elder\'s face was filled with pride as he said, "We Wu Clan are born with great strength, but that\'s only we have great strength. We can only train after we got rid of the restrictions."
Tang Zheng felt his heart move as this Wu Clan members was born with great strength and if he were able to cultivate then his strength would be much stronger than an ordinary person.
"Lord, the Wu Clan is your most loyal warrior. In the future, we will follow you into battle and create a glory that belongs to us."
Tang Zheng shook his head: "You guys have been trapped here for too long. The outside world is completely different and I am only an ordinary person outside. There is no way to talk about battle from north to south."
"No, Lord Emissary is destined to achieve some great things in the future, and we, the Wu Clan, will be Lord\'s most loyal warrior, sweeping away all obstacles for you." the Elder said firmly.
Mu Hongyan couldn\'t help but feel her heart jump as this Elder\'s tone was simply too big. Of course, she was more interested in Tang Zheng\'s decision as she did not know what he planned to do in the future after he had such great power.
Roar!
Suddenly, a tiger\'s roar sounded out, and a cage appeared within the square. Within the cage was a fierce tiger with big mouth.
It paced back and forth in the cage, roaring at the people outside, as if it wanted to tear everyone\'s throats apart.
Mu Hongyan was frightened into a jump by the tiger\'s roar. Than she focused her eyes to see, she could feel the beast nature of the tiger and her heart was pounding.
This tiger was definitely not a domesticated tiger from the zoo, but a true Mountain king.
The Elder said with a smile, "In order to celebrate the arrival of the Emissary, we have prepared a program."
As soon as the voice fell, Ah Yuan walked to the front of the main table. The elder pointed at Ah Yuan and said, "Lord Emissary, he is one of the brave warriors of our clan, his name is Ye Yuan. We all call him Ah Yuan, and tonight he will perform for you."
Hearing this, Ye Yuan proudly raised his head and looked at Tang Zheng with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Tang Zheng curiously asked: "What program?"
"Lord, you\'ll understand at a glance." The Elder deliberately gave Ye Yuan a mysterious nod, and Ye Yuan turned around and walked towards the center of the square, towards the cage.
Everyone\'s gaze was attracted by him, the crowd cheered, many of them shouting loudly: "Ah Yuan! Ye Yuan, do your best."
Ye Chong walked to the front of the cage and opened the door.
"Whiz!"
The tiger pounced towards Ye Yuan, the aura of a king that looked down on the world was terrifying.
Ye Yuan stood in front of the cage as if he was about to be bitten by a tiger.
