My Co-renting Lady Boss

"Don’t dwell on unhappy things, I’ve brought you some fine wine, disciple."

Tang Ming patted the wine jar in front of him mysteriously.

"Tch, all the wine I drink now is good wine, why would I care about your stuff?"

Tang Cha scoffed disdainfully.

"Not necessarily."

Tang Ming reached out and tore open the seal on the wine jar, instantly filling the room with a fragrant aroma.

"What wine is this?"

Tang Cha sat up abruptly, sniffing repeatedly, "This is over thirty years old Huadiao aged wine, where did you get it from?"

"I don’t know what kind of wine it is either, but it was treasured by a Martial General at peak level. Are you going to drink it?"

Tang Ming smiled.

"Of course I will drink it!"

Tang Cha grabbed the wine jar and drank greedily, "Good wine, it truly is good wine!"

"I’m glad you like it, Master."

Tang Ming picked up another wine jar, watching Tang Cha with satisfaction.

"All of this is mine, go drink that garbage."

Tang Cha snatched the wine from Tang Ming’s hand as well, then tossed him the jar he had been drinking before, cradling the two jars preciously.

"As long as you’re happy, I toast to Master."

Tang Ming chuckled indifferently, respectfully offering a toast to Tang Cha.

Soon, the master and disciple began drinking together, back and forth.

No one knew how much time had passed, but when Tang Ming left the stone house, it was already dark outside, while Tang Cha lay drunk and unconscious.

Glancing at Tang Cha still holding the wine jar on the bed, Tang Ming sighed helplessly. He wasn’t sure if Tang Cha truly let go or was just appeasing him, but it seemed the issue had been resolved.

In the following days, Tang Ming stayed at the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect for cultivation, and the sect officially got on track.

With the influx of resources from the Meng Family, the strength of the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect soared, and the disciples began to develop comprehensively, no longer just women or poison cultivators.

After the fall of the Ancient Tang Sect and the retreat of the Meng Family, the hidden peak forces achieved unprecedented unity. Following several days of video conferences, led by the Mo Family, the major forces decided to join forces in battle.

Although Tang Ming’s true strength was a mystery, in this world, Martial General at peak level was already the highest existence. No matter how strong Tang Ming was, he could not exceed this level. Hence, the decision was made that if the peak experts of the major forces joined forces, they could undoubtedly handle Tang Ming.

This decision was reached after several days of research by the major forces. Despite the shock of the Ancient Tang Sect’s destruction, the generations planned Tianqi Project was too important to fail.

Under the influence of the Mo Family, to complete the Tianqi Project—an undertaking deemed sacred with the potential to change the martial arts world—the Mo Family, the Meng Family, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, and Rainbow Cloud Peak, the four peak hidden forces of the current martial arts world, decided to join forces and attack the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect.

This time, the major forces did not notify in advance like the Ancient Tang Sect did, but directly led their elite armies towards the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect to learn from the bitter lesson of Ancient Tang Sect’s downfall.

If the Ancient Tang Sect had not boasted and announced their intent to attack the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect but instead launched a direct offensive, they would not have been destroyed without even stepping out of their gate.

From the southwest Rainbow Cloud Peak, the South Sea Mo Family, Southern China Meng Family, and Central China Heavenly Mechanism Sect, four armies advanced towards the northwest region and almost simultaneously arrived at Riyang Peak, perfectly converging.

One morning, the leaders of the four major forces met in the tent for a pre-war meeting.

Zhuge Qitian, Sect Leader of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, Murong Xue, Sect Master of Rainbow Cloud Peak, Meng Rushan, Family Head of the Meng Family, and Mo Changtian, Family Head of the Mo Family, stood solemnly before a map to introduce the situation.

"The Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s Ancestor and forty-nine Martial General experts have stationed the disciples east of Riyang Peak, ready to engage at any moment."

Zhuge Qitian elegantly introduced while waving a fan.

"The personnel from Rainbow Cloud Peak have entered the west side of Riyang Peak."

"The Meng Family’s troops have circled to the north side of Riyang Peak."

"Our Mo Family’s troops hold the south, responsible for engaging the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect head-to-head."

...

The individuals explained the status and condition of their respective forces.

"Everyone, this is a joint operation of our four peak forces. Without knowing the true strength of the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect, I suggest we quickly merge our disciples."

After a long silence, Zhuge Qitian spoke slowly: "Although it looks like a joint venture of our four forces, in reality, everyone is stationed separately."

"I feel the same. Each force is responsible for one direction, with separate troops, failing to utilize our joint advantage."

Mo Changtian nodded, explaining: "For instance, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect personnel are all magicians; if they could cooperate with members of other forces, only then could they unleash their true potential. Concentrating them together would waste resources."

"I agree, since that’s the case, let’s immediately divide into four groups and restructure the teams. Although this makes commanding inconvenient, it definitely utilizes the combined strength of our four families."

Meng Rushan nodded repeatedly, with forces scattered in four directions; if Son of Sunken Star and Moonfall Trace break through from one direction, the other three may find it hard to share benefits, possibly even letting someone break through the encirclement.

"Since that’s decided, let’s swiftly deploy. Once the deployment is completed, we’ll launch an attack on the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect for a swift and decisive victory."

Murong Xue urged impatiently.

The four then enthusiastically researched the plans.

At the Heavenly Martial Poison Sect’s stronghold, Tang Ming sat at the Sect Master’s seat in the main hall, brows furrowed, listening to the reports from his subordinates.

"Sect Master, we are currently surrounded by four peak forces. According to scouts, they have stationed themselves in four directions, combining their forces, encircling us."

Xin Badao looked worriedly at Tang Ming.

"How is the connection with Moon Yin Peak?"

Tang Ming squinted, responding calmly.

"The passage to Moon Yin Peak has been sealed, but currently, Moon Yin Peak only houses some low-level disciples, unaffected by the situation. It seems they are targeting the main forces of our Heavenly Martial Poison Sect."

Chu Batian quickly reported.

"Hmph, that’s good. If they dare target the low-level disciples of my Heavenly Martial Poison Sect, today won’t be a battle with them but a bloodbath by my sect over the four forces."

Tang Ming snorted coldly, if the opponents indeed target low-level disciples, he wouldn’t bother negotiating, opting instead for a massacre.

Given his current strength, slaughtering the enemy’s low-level members would be no issue.

"What should we do now?"

Chen Cang asked anxiously, looking at Tang Ming.
