Chapter 1179 - Chapter 1179 Chapter 473 The Road Should Be Wide

Chapter 1179: Chapter 473: The Road Should Be Wide Chapter 1179: Chapter 473: The Road Should Be Wide “Although the descendants are not commendable, the Yun Clan indeed once flourished, not to mention their reputation and heritage, being able to quietly exist in Zhongzhou and leave behind a Minor Spiritual Realm, such a feat is matched only by your family’s ancestors and those ancient sanctuary Heaven Sects.”

Tang Luo shrugged and summarized, “With such a sanctuary, plus the fact that Commander Cao has been intercepted by the master of Blood Tower, getting completely wiped out should be somewhat difficult, right?”

“Moreover, such a significant incident occurred at Blood Tower, yet there is no news at all from the Corpse Bone Protector, which is somewhat hard to justify no matter how you look at it.”

The Longyuan battle report spread from Zhongzhou in all directions, was filled with implicit information suggesting that Dutian Heavenly King had already overwhelmed Blood Tower, but the actual truth might only be clear to those involved in the situation.

As Tang Luo said, it’s really not the attitude of an excellent intelligence officer to be thrown into disarray by some obscure reports.”

Perhaps she was never a qualified member of Wind Media from the start.

But why could Tang Luo remain so calm? Even during their initial encounter when he was on the brink of death and weak, he could calmly make the decision to sacrifice himself and erase all subsequent clues.

What initially moved her might have been this very attitude of maintaining calm in the face of death.

If it were not for something immensely cherished, why else would one consider life and death as nothing more than things to be transcended? And a person who harbors such great love in their heart, how bad could they really be?

As Yun Xiu spent more time with him, she became increasingly certain that her initial decision to save Tang Luo was the right choice.

Such thoughts naturally arose not just because he had saved her on several occasions out of a sense of utility but because she discovered that Tang Luo had a warm heart.

Even though he always seemed to speak of the worst-case scenarios to try to awaken her with the force of reality and frequently uttered harsh and hurtful words, when it really came down to things, he was always there to offer support.

Having seen much of the warmth and coldness of human relationships, the Miss of the Yun Family certainly understood how precious such warmth was. In fact, on closer inspection, the Devil Lord Tang Luo, was quite easy on the eyes.

The clean and youthful appearance contrasted with a pair of eyes that seemed capable of discerning world affairs, where a sense of world-weariness and naivety collided yet resulted in a unique personal charm.

This was the first time Yun Xiu observed the Devil Lord from a different perspective and quickly received a response.

“Why are you looking at me?”

Tang Luo said proudly, “Even though you have undergone professional training in intelligence with Wind Media since you were young, you lack the experience of leading a team and, therefore, lack the ability of those in high positions to view issues from a macro perspective. Just trust my judgment; it’s eighty to ninety percent accurate.”

Okay, I was wrong, how could I actually find this guy appealing!

Rolling her eyes inwardly, Yun Xiu tidied a lock of hair falling beside her temple and pretended to be nonchalant, “It’s nothing, I was just thinking, you seem to know quite a bit about Wind Media and intelligence!”

“Of course!” Feeling that he had successfully captured Yun Xiu’s attention, Tang Luo quickly boasted, “The more powerful a person is, the more they should value the importance of intelligence. If someone prides themselves on strength but is oblivious to everything else, they’ll only end up as a blind and deaf giant. Therefore, whether a family has prospects and can make a name for themselves depends on their martial prowess and investment in intelligence infrastructure.”

“From this perspective, those Hawk Faction elders of yours do have some insight, promoting both martial arts cultivation and intelligence systems. With the Yun Clan’s unparalleled disguise technique, given enough time, it would be enough to shake the foundation of the Dutian Heavenly King, becoming the number one intelligence organization in the world.”

“If they’re lucky enough to have a group of talents whose intelligence capabilities match their martial arts prowess and use this as a basis to create a special Wind Media squad, in the event of a great war, just a few such individuals could throw the enemy into complete disarray. If there were more such people, I wouldn’t be surprised if they could bring down a city overnight.”

“Although the Yun Family is in a dire state now, they have all the conditions for a rise to power, and even that dire state is debatable–after all, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. For many families, having the foundation that the Yun Clan has today would be a dream come true.”

After all that was said, he simply wanted the young girl to look forward. From ancient times to the present, too many families have been swallowed by the relentless tide of history. It has not been easy for the Yun Clan to get to where they are today, but dwelling on past glories won’t pave the way for a continued legacy. After all, people must look forward.

Tang Luo, the proud Longxi’s Pride, was expecting to heat things up and earn some more admiration with his words. Naturally, he didn’t notice that his offhand remarks had triggered something in the person he was trying to impress, dissipating the budding romantic atmosphere entirely, leaving only Yun Xiu’s excitement as she clung to a lifeline.

“Right, you’re absolutely correct!” The young lady was so excited that she kept nodding vigorously at Tang Luo, her eyes nearly dancing with joy, “Intelligence capabilities and martial arts expertise should go hand in hand. In our family, there was indeed such a person–it was my aunt!”

Damn it, I seem to have inadvertently hit on something potent enough to backfire spectacularly!

With a tumult of thoughts racing through his mind, Tang Luo for the first time wished he could rewind time. How did an otherwise normal conversation veer into such dangerous territory?

However, General Tang Luo would not admit defeat so easily, trying to nonchalantly steer the conversation back on track: “That’s a story for another time. Right now, we should focus our attention on the intelligence regarding Zhongzhou, you see…”

Recklessness leads to giving away advantages for free, and a loose tongue inevitably meets defeat.

Miss Yun Xiu, who felt like she had grabbed a lifeline, wouldn’t be persuaded by a few words. Thinking that Tang Luo didn’t believe her, she anxiously explained, “I’m serious. Though my aunt left Longyuan when I was very young, the elders always praised her talent. From childhood to adulthood, whether it was rhythm, dance, musical instruments, or scores, she could learn any of it with just a glance and remembered everything after learning it once. Later, when she switched to martial arts cultivation, she also made rapid progress. The elders always said that if my aunt had focused on martial arts from a young age, she would definitely be the strongest warrior of the Yun Clan after Elder Heishang!”

The existence of role models is significant, even if you may not think of them ordinarily. But in the darkest moments, those figures all shine brightly, incredibly vivid.

As if finding that person allows you to follow in their shadow and traverse the endless darkness.

This trust unique among clan members, especially in these turbulent times, transforms into mighty rivers, causing their memories to flood with longing.

“My aunt was responsible for the intelligence network in Longzhou West, so she went by the alias Yun Piaopiao, blending into Longxi’s largest city, which seems to be called Xiling–do you know it?”

I don’t know. Don’t ask. If you ask, the answer is still I don’t know.

General Tang Luo, finding himself in a predicament, struggled for a while before replying, “Xiling has been flooded…”
