However, Patriarch Tang was a little smarter than the rest. It's just that… even if he did realize that, it wouldn't help with the situation. If Xu Rouguang indeed was free to kill them just like that, he would have done so in a flash. No one would incriminate him at all. However, he did not. It was clear that he was still monitored by a power that he could not easily go against.
