Chapter 1176 - Chapter 1176 Chapter 470 Searching for Someone

Chapter 1176: Chapter 470: Searching for Someone Chapter 1176: Chapter 470: Searching for Someone “Came in such a hurry?” Tang Luo frowned, pondering in his heart.

The rapidly developing Longxi Alliance would inevitably clash with Chaochang in the future, but that future was not within the next few years or even a decade.

Because at present, the most important thing for the Longxi Alliance was to restore the clan’s strength to the level before the battle with Tang Mi, as well as to digest and redistribute the resources within the Lingjiang Waters. Additionally, they had to deal with the continuous stream of refugees rushing to seek refuge with Longxi. One person, torn into eight, would still not be enough. Why then divert resources to come to Chaochang?

According to the previous chieftain’s strategic and deep-planning nature, he would never make such obvious mistakes of being overeager for quick success. Could it be because of myself?

After contemplating for a moment, Tang Luo said to Fang Xiong, “With the arrival of the Longxi Alliance in Chaochang, all families will focus their attention on it in the short term. It’s not a good time to make contact before the base is established. Notify Mr. Du that Marshal Star Pavilion need not concern itself with the Longxi fleet. Stay hidden, continue to investigate the agencies in Chaochang, and wait for the Longxi base to be established before we seek opportunities to make contact. You may leave.”

“Your command!”

The man, as sturdy as a bear, drifted away like a dandelion puff, vanishing into the rainy night. Never once daring to lift his head, he naturally did not see the gloom on Tang Luo’s face under the eaves.

For Tang Luo at this moment, there were only two pressing matters.

The first was to fulfill his promise to Chen Menglu and supply the first batch of exceptionally talented disciples. From the current progress, the young men at Marshal Star Pavilion were still useful.

After all, these guys were carefully selected by Tang Luo from among the hundreds of thousands of refugees at Red Cloud Mountain. Each one possessed extraordinary talents, had received tailor-made martial arts training, and had been consistently honed over the years. It was within reason that they achieved such a level.

Therefore, Tang Luo had never worried about the agreement with Chen Menglu. But who could have expected that the second matter, which seemed almost a certainty, would develop such a huge flaw?

He really wanted to pull Yun Ji in front of him, crack open his skull, and see whether it was filled with brains or shit. How else could he have received early news and still managed to botch things up so badly?

It took him so much effort to pry open just a crack in Yun Xiu’s heart, and just when it seemed that two lonely hearts could embrace, this mess occurred.

Now, all the previous efforts seemed wasted. What he feared most was that Yun Xiu would act foolishly and make a mistake in this vague and confusing situation.

Finding the person was now the key; nothing else mattered!

With a one-handed seal, Tang Luo tore open the Spirit World Passage and stepped into it.

The world in Tang Luo’s eyes is different from that of ordinary people, thanks to his ability to clearly see Spiritual Power. In his world, apart from the vivid interplay of colors and light and the shape of matter, there were many things invisible to the average person.

For example, the flow of Primary Qi, the form of Spiritual Power; countless ripples of Primary Qi filled the space between heaven and earth, chaotic yet ordered.

In this Spirit World Passage, these ripples collided back and forth against the walls of the realm, then bounced back. They collapsed from one point to another, these ripples informing you that all things under heaven are nurtured by Primary Qi and life itself is the spirit of Primary Qi.

Thus, the actions of martial artists can change the original trajectory of the weather and Primary Qi. The difference is subtle, and Tang Luo had to strain his eyes to see the disturbed traces of Primary Qi.

Following the traces, he kept walking until, at the spot where the traces disappeared, he left the passage and arrived in a secluded alleyway.

The trail of Primary Qi ended here, eradicated by the storm that mixed the Heavenly and Earthly Qi into chaotic turmoil, leaving no trace to be found. Yet without the aid of his eyes, Tang Luo could still rely on his logical reasoning abilities.

The dark-skinned young man who transformed that morning must be one of the renowned Wind Medias of Chaochang, which meant there had to be a Wind Media gathering spot nearby.

Find that place, and then he could inquire about Yun Xiu’s whereabouts. However, before that, he needed to make some preparations.

Apart from his martial Spirit Arts, Tang Luo had studied some essential methods for navigating the martial world. If he were at full strength, he would not need to skulk around, but having recently reconstructed his meridians and body, he ought to proceed with caution.

He rubbed his hands over his face, planning to pinch himself a new face. Of course, with his level of skill, he naturally couldn’t transform as effortlessly as the Yun Clan, since his “facial pinching” was essentially a form of muscle control.

Using Spiritual Power to control his flesh, he fixed stretched or contracted muscles in place to achieve the purpose of disguise.

After pushing and pulling his already prominent nose outwards and hooking it downward, and lifting the corners of his eyes, the simple art of disguise was complete.

Though the changes were slight, they completely altered his appearance. The person who once had sword-like eyebrows and single eyelids, known as Longxi’s Pride, now possessed slender phoenix eyes and an impressively hooked nose. Coupled with his currently grim expression, he looked as fierce as a vulture in the wilderness, and no one could associate this person with Longxi’s Pride.

Looking down at the entirely different face reflected in the muddy puddle, Tang Luo was quite satisfied with the effect of the disguise. There was no obvious aura to reveal his strength, but a single look was enough to label him a tough character. With this fierce look, blending in at the Wind Media stronghold couldn’t be more perfect.

He dashed out from a dark alley, the man with the hooked nose wandering aimlessly through the crisscrossed alleyways.

Sensing the presence of faint surveillance in the shadows, Tang Luo knew he had come to the right place, and following the direction where the scrutiny was strongest, he couldn’t be wrong.

Wanhua Building

This tavern was the last Wind Media base Tang Luo found, where the guests chatted amongst themselves as they drank, seemingly unconcerned about the man who entered, drenched from head to toe.

But with his acute senses, Tang Luo was well aware that from the moment he entered the tavern, at least twenty pairs of spying eyes had fixed on him whether openly or in secrecy.

He could tell that Wanhua Building must be a self-organized base of the unaffiliated Wind Media, hence the wariness towards a newcomer like himself.

The stooped waiter approached with a fawning smile, saying respectfully, “I’m so sorry, sir. Our establishment is fully booked. There’s Warm Welcome Building nearby, with excellent food and wine. Allow me to arrange a ride for you right away, sir, and I’ll have you there in no time.”

“No need, I’m not here for a drink,” Tang Luo glanced at the waiter and spoke indifferently, “I’m looking for someone, a Wind Media with dark skin, brown hair, and brown eyes!”

“Oh, you jest, sir. Our establishment runs a business welcoming all kinds of patrons; we don’t recognize any brown-haired, brown-eyed Wind Medias. You must be joking, sir.”

“Really?”

Tang Luo responded nonchalantly, his wet sleeve gave a gentle shake, and all 639 muscles in his body moved simultaneously, emitting a thunderous roar like the rumble of thunder.
