The relationship between Yuan Tiangang and the 12 Clans was complicated. Yuan Tiangang was a powerful character. He had once broken into the 12 villages of the Miao Territory alone and successfully defeated 13 experts. Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were experts of the Great Tang, and they could predict and resolve many problems. Yuan Tiangang once went to the 12th cave to protect the treasure of Longquan and communicated with the Holy Child. However, the 12 Clans chose to hide from the world in the end, and Yuan Tiangang also let them go. Even though the Twelve Clans had once planned to use Soldier God Weird Altar to take revenge on the Central Plains, the appearance of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng made them decide to retreat. Although Yuan Tiangang had tried to ask for the Soldier God Monster Altar from the 12 Clans, he was rejected. In general, the relationship between Yuan Tiangang and the 12 Clans was one of mutual influence and checks and balance.

The reason why the delinquents, Shi Er Tong, were afraid of Yuan Tiangang was because he was a powerful general with the support of a large army. Although there were many talents and experts in the Twelve Clans, they were few in number and could not contend with Yuan Tiangang and his troops. Thus, in order to avoid being destroyed by Yuan Tiangang, the 12 Clans chose to reconcile with him. In addition, Yuan Tiangang also possessed the elixir of immortality, which made him have a special status in the eyes of the Tang Emperor. However, Yuan Tiangang went berserk after consuming the medicinal pill, and his appearance was completely ruined. Therefore, he did not dare to continue consuming the medicinal pill. To sum up, the Twelve Clans were afraid of Yuan Tiangang because of his strength and the support of the main force.
Yuan Tiangang and the 12 Clans had reached some sort of agreement, but the details of the agreement were not mentioned. According to the description in the document [5], the people of the 12 villages might have used some kind of Gu that could not leave the 12 villages and promised to protect the Dragon Spring treasure. And Yuan Tiangang's focus on guarding the Dragon Spring treasure was probably to protect the interests of the Great Tang. However, the other documents did not provide more details about the agreement. Therefore, based on the information provided, it was impossible to accurately answer the specific content of the agreement between the Twelve Clans and Yuan Tiangang.
The 12th Clan Master was not Yuan Tiangang. Although Yuan Tiangang had a certain influence and status in the 12 Clans, he was not the Clan Master of the 12 Clans. The 12 Clan Masters were Li Chunfeng's hidden trump card, and Yuan Tiangang was the Great Tang's envoy who had come to an agreement with the 12 Clan Masters. Thus, Yuan Tiangang was not the master of the 12 Clans.
Yuan Tiangang was an emissary of the Great Tang. He had once entered the Twelve Clans and reached an agreement with the Twelve Clan Masters. Yuan Tiangang had shown great fighting strength in the 12 caves, being able to enter the 12 caves alone and retreat in one piece. In comparison, the 12 Clan Masters were just small officers in Yuan Tiangang's eyes. They were no match for the marshal. The 12 Clans were the strongest organization in Rao Border. They had powerful combat power and technology, and they could create powerful weapons like the Monster God Altar. Li Chunfeng had once entered the 12 caves to learn and become a top-notch expert. Yuan Tiangang and the 12 Clans had some differences, but they were still friends. As for the specific relationship between Yuan Tiangang and the 12 Clans, as well as the conflict and cooperation between them, the search results did not provide clear information.
There were many theories regarding the relationship between Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng. Some people thought they were master and disciple, some thought they were brothers, and some said they were good friends. However, because there was no official record of their relationship, it was a mystery. However, they worked together on many things, such as co-writing the Pushing Back Map (although there was a dispute about the author of the Pushing Back Map), and searching for Wu Zetian's grave separately. In the end, they chose the same place. While waiting for the TV series, you can also click on the link below to read the classic original work of "Dafeng Nightwatchman"!
Yuan Tiangang and Xiao Qingfang were in the same organization. Xiao Qingfang was Yuan Tiangang's disciple and took over the power of the Snake Spirit Organization after Yuan Tiangang was imprisoned. However, there were internal conflicts between them. Xiao Qingfang even had a conflict with Yuan Tiangang. The details of their relationship were not mentioned.
The relationship between Corpse Ancestor Surrender Official and Yuan Tiangang was that of master and disciple. I am Yuan Tiangang's disciple. This relationship was confirmed in the question and answer picture of the bad guy. The official who surrendered addressed Yuan Tiangang as 'marshal' and not any other titles. In addition, after seeing the bad commander die, the surrendered minister bowed to Yuan Tiangang to show his respect. Although the search results did not provide more details about their relationship, it was certain that they were master and disciple.
Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang were master and disciple, but they were also friends. According to different records, there was a saying that Li Chunfeng admired Yuan Tiangang's knowledge very much. He took money from a faraway place and became his disciple. The two of them wrote the book " Four Marbles " together. Another theory was that the two of them were classmates and good friends who studied together. They often gathered together to discuss knowledge such as heavenly phenomena, principles, and Yi, as well as ancient and modern matters. Whether they were master and disciple or friends, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang were important advisors of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and made important contributions to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. The exchange and learning between them made their knowledge richer and more perfect, and also left precious spiritual wealth for future generations.
There was no clear information about the martial arts of the Twelve Clans. Therefore, I don't know what the martial arts of the Twelve Clans are.
