Book 8 Chapter 42 One’s Man Fight (TEASER)
“Is this Dong Clan’s Dong Zhezi?” Teng Qingshan inquired, his eyebrows raising in doubt.
“Yes that is correct Mister, and by the way, it would be prudent not to underestimate the Dong Clan. In the Eastern Flower Region, the Dong Clan has a strength that is said to be in the top three there.” Fu Dao said solemnly. Teng Qingshan responded with a nod as he replied, “How many large clans have brought along their armies in this expedition?” Teng Qingshan was extremely particular about such matters as this involves the Fiery Gilt Steel Deposit.
Furthermore, Teng Qingshan would very much like to gather more Fiery Gilt Steel. As long as there is a sufficient amount of Fiery Gilt Steel, it would be a trifling matter to establish an impressive and dominating force of elite troops that is much stronger than those of the Qing Hu Island’s Golden Scale Guards in the Land of Nine Prefectures.
However, all of these is dependent on this deposit of Fiery Gilt Steel. Only with it would Teng Qingshan be able to return to the Gui Yuan Sect and overpower Qing Hu Island on the quality of troops!
“Mister, as of today, apart from my Fu Clan, there are 7 other large clans that wish to seize the Fiery Gilt Steel Deposit and have dispatched troops for that purpose. They are the Tantai Clan, the Wu Clan, the Yan Clan, the Dong Clan, the Xiahou Clan and the Duan Clan.” Fu Dao reported.
Amongst the seven great Clans, Teng Qingshan was only familiar with five.
“The Xiahou Clan and the Duan Clan?” Teng Qingshan asked puzzledly.
Fu Dao explained, “The Xiahou Clan is a great clan based in the northern part of the Eastern Flower Region. As for the Duan Clan, it is also an ancient clan and its prowess should not be taken lightly.”
“Fu Dao, on the matter of troop’s strength, your Fu Clan’s army is comparatively weaker than the other six great clans. It would be suicidal to pit your army head to head against them. Teng Qingshan gave a rough a.n.a.lysis. Teng Qingshan was cognizant about his strengths and abilities; even if he were to pit himself against the combined strength of an army of on hundred thousand. It would still take at least half a day before he could annihilate them.
