I Can See Your Combat Power
Chapter 1151 - Chapter 1151 Chapter 445 Probing

Chapter 1151: Chapter 445: Probing Chapter 1151: Chapter 445: Probing Xiu’er, having prepared everything, stepped out of the room and bumped into a smiling fellow who was sizing her up and down, clicking his tongue in wonder.

“Looking like this, you indeed don’t seem like any good person; no wonder Buddha’s Country would believe you’re the Heavenly Demon incarnate.”

“What are you doing here!”

Clutching the Jade Box, Xiu’er was in complete disarray, even forgetting to mimic a different voice. Underneath the dark cloak, a soft and frail female voice was heard, which made Tang Luo want to laugh.

“What I’m doing here isn’t important; what matters is what you’re about to do?”

Tang Luo looked Xiu’er up and down as she was disguised as Gouchen and joked, “Dressed like this, are you planning to perform in a play?”

“Get out of my way.”

“I can’t do that,” Tang Luo helplessly spread his hands and said, “I can’t just watch you die. With your cultivation, you’re still pretending to be Gouchen; do you really think that big of yourself?”

“Mind your own business!”

Grinding her teeth, Xiu’er dropped a sentence and tried to bypass Tang Luo but was blocked again: “Don’t be foolish, okay? It’s evidently a trap set by the Xiang Family. They’ve prepared more than just the Dutian Heavenly King’s Wind Department. Before his feigned death, Xiang Ange had already conspired with twelve prominent merchants within Chaochang’s inner city to mobilize troops. If they make a move, and the Xiang Residence is besieged, how many lives do you think the men Yun Ji brought could spare?”

The might of grand demons of the Devil’s Path sounds intimidating, but they’re only a bit stronger in single combat; once they face a proper Martial Ancestor squad, they’re at a loss.

This explains why, despite Yun Ji’s faction having a numerical advantage in the Xiang Residence, they still were not able to quickly secure a victory. If all those powerful individuals were replaced by those trained in the family’s foundational martial arts, the Xiang Family would have been decimated long ago.

Upon hearing there was another concealed force, Sister Xiu’er’s expression changed on the spot: “I must inform my elder brother immediately!”

“Inform for what use?” Tang Luo sometimes really admired Xiu’er’s thought processes. He said, speechless, “Can informing change the outcome caused by the absolute gap in strength?”

“The Yun Clan is doomed!” Tang Luo spread his hands and coldly pronounced, “Yun Ji, who is reckless and arrogant, is not qualified to be the Yun Clan’s leader. Compared to him, I think you are more suitable to be the one leading the Yun Family.”

“What are you talking about!”

Xiu’er looked at the man in front of her, feeling him to be incredibly unfamiliar: “Those are my brother and my clansmen!”

“They are the criminals who brought the second harm to the Yun Clan.”

Tang Luo said coldly, “With resentment and insufficient self-control, the Yun Clan will ultimately be destroyed by these people. It might be better to take this opportunity to make your clansmen understand this. As someone of the main family’s bloodline, you have enough qualification to lead the Yun Clan!”

“Connections, resources, military power–if you agree, I can support all these things to ensure you can firmly secure the position of the head of the Yun Family. Think about those clansmen who haven’t yet arrived in Chaochang, waiting eagerly. If you pretend to be Gouchen, you’re on the path to death. Only by preserving yourself do you have a chance to take care of…”

“Enough!”

Sister Xiu’er interrupted Tang Luo’s speech, her eyes filled with alienation, detachment, and disappointment: “I never expected you to be such a person!”

“Such a person? I’m someone pointing out a path to life in a situation of certain death!”

Tang Luo said emotionlessly, “The failure of Yun Ji will not only cause severe damage to the Yun Clan’s Primary Qi, but it will also result in sacrificing all those grand demons here. Which one of them doesn’t have close friends or family? Their primary enemies will surely be the Dutian Heavenly King and the Xiang Family of Chaochang, but after this event, the Yun Family will also break ties with them. If we come across some extreme and harsh ones, they might even hate the Yun Family.”

“Since the Yun Clan invited them to come to our aid, we will never let down this righteousness.”

Xiu’er said coldly, “Today, either we die fighting in Chaochang, or the people of the Yun Family will not surpass our comrades in death, standing with clear conscience!”

After these words, Xiu’er had no more thoughts of striking up a conversation with Tang Luo. She leaped up to head to the Xiang Residence but was yanked down by her ankle and thrown to the ground.

“What are you doing!”

Xiu’er angrily questioned Tang Luo, only to see an incredibly complex expression on his face.

The longer one lives, the less one believes in the constancy of the human heart, for too many events have shown that it changes so swiftly, it’s astonishing.

Thus, it was hard for Tang Luo to believe that someone as kind as Xiu’er could survive in such a world.

So, he wanted Xiu’er to make a choice. It wasn’t the first time he had presented her with a choice, but her decisions always diverged greatly from what he had predicted.

Sometimes he really wondered if there was something missing in her brain, otherwise why she always managed to pick the option that seemed the least beneficial to herself.

Yet, for some reason, this woman, who clearly saw the better choices, still scorned them.

Is it so great to be a kind-hearted person? It’s just plain dumb!

“The twelve great merchants are now trapped and probably won’t be able to notify the legion to encircle us for a while. If we can destroy the large array enveloping the inner city before they free themselves and then inform the people of the Yun Family, perhaps we can escape Chaochang.”

Although the test did not unfold in the direction Tang Luo had predicted, he couldn’t just watch Xiu’er go to her death, so he could only advise dryly.

Upon hearing this, Xiu’er, who was just glaring furiously, took off her mask, scrambled up, and inched closer to Tang Luo with a pleasing tone, “I knew you weren’t that kind of person, so let’s hurry then!”

Pfft, she was just grinding her teeth a moment ago!

Rolling his eyes, Tang Luo took Xiu’er and ran wildly towards the Spiritual Power hub of the Five-Colored Hua Array.

“This large array is a variant of a certain Five Elements Array. For such a large spiritual array, the Formation Stakes won’t be fewer than one thousand five hundred. It’s obviously too late to remove them all one by one, but because of the Spiritual Power transformation, each of the five types of Spiritual Power has a key hub node (Formation Eye). As long as we destroy it, the Spiritual Power within the array will start attacking each other and destroy itself.”

“The Formation Eye looks about the same as a regular Formation Stake on the outside, and unless it’s the person who set up the array, it’s very difficult to pinpoint the location of the Formation Eye. So, pray!”

As they ran, a confused Xiu’er asked, “Pray for what?”

“Pray that Master Shaolin is confident enough not to have placed any traps around the Formation Eye.”

“And if he did?”

“Then we’re screwed,” Tang Luo shrugged while running, “I wouldn’t dare to mess with traps set by a Grandmaster.”

“No worry!” Xiu’er said soothingly, “I’ll go attract the traps, and you destroy the Formation Stake.”

Here we go again.

Rolling his eyes once more, Tang Luo continued the mad dash and arrived at the first Formation Eye.

In the center of the Azure Dragon Avenue Square, the Formation Eye was located in a pool, and the square, usually bustling with noise, was deserted.

“We’re in luck!”

Tang Luo led Xiu’er to the edge of the pitch-black pool and pointed to the center, turning his head to Yun Xiu, “Use your Yun Hand to pull out the Formation Stake.”
