Chapter 1244: Chapter 537: Golden Wind and Jade Dew (Happy Holidays~~) Chapter 1244: Chapter 537: Golden Wind and Jade Dew (Happy Holidays~~) “Guess what I brought back?”

In the gloomy Spirit World Passage, Tang Luo, having removed his mask, held his head high somewhat smugly, hiding his right hand behind him as he boasted to Yun Xiu.

The woman wasn’t curious about the man’s gains; instead, she hugged him, a little scared after the fact, burying her head in the broad expanse of his chest.

Embracing Yun Xiu in return and feeling the tremors gradually subsiding, Tang Luo gently patted her back, comforting her, “I’m back, aren’t I? Those stinking fish and rotten shrimp stood no chance against me.”

Yun Xiu looked up at Tang Luo’s nonchalant demeanor, wanting to squeeze out a smile of agreement but finding herself incapable of doing so.

The eagle’s rise and the magpie’s fall in the Wilderness hadn’t eluded the sharp tendrils of Chaochang’s Wind Media; the appearance of the Dutian Heavenly King’s elite from the Forest Department signified that Gouchen’s movement had been exposed.

The pincer attack by the sorrow of the King’s patrol and the Yanyun Grandmaster left the Devil Lord Gouchen only able to parry without any power to counterattack.

There were those from Wind Media swearing they had seen with their own eyes the King’s patrol sorrow wielding Purple Cloud Divine Thunder that pierced through the Devil Lord’s back, who couldn’t fight back but only flee. Today would be the day to rid of the demon.

Amidst the cheers, only one person’s heart was greatly shaken; she really feared the other party’s words would come true.

She had experienced loss too many times; thus, seeing her loved one return made her heart flutter so. But confirming his safety wasn’t enough.

“Turn around. Let me see your back.”

“Eh!? Undressing as soon as I return, isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”

Suddenly very serious, Tang Luo cleared his throat and said, “Please, miss, have some dignity. I’m not yet mentally prepared for this.”

“Nonsense.”

With a blush and a light snort of disdain, Yun Xiu forcefully tore open Tang Luo’s Star Robe, revealing an upper body as well-defined as if it were forged from diamond, along with the purple tree-like tattoos that covered his entire body.

Just how fierce was the lightning that left such exaggerated marks; it must have hurt a lot at the time…

Yun Xiu touched them tremblingly, her eyes brimming with tears. Suddenly, she didn’t dare to turn towards Tang Luo’s back, fearing to see the spot struck by the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder.

“Uh…”

As the Star Robe fell away, Tang Luo’s earlier boasting fell through. But he couldn’t stand by and watch his loved one cry.

Gently wiping the tears from Yun Xiu’s eyes, Longxi’s Pride attempted to sound casual, “Actually, it only hurt for a moment; then, I didn’t feel much after that.”

Yun Xiu pressed Tang Luo’s hand to her face, closed her eyes letting the tears in her gaze slide down, and when she opened them again, she had gathered the courage to move behind him.

On his broad back, there were freshly knitted patches of new flesh and a large circular purple sun halo, with the electric tattoos spreading out from around this halo.

Even without witnessing the event, Yun Xiu could imagine the moment when the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder must have melted the man’s back instantly to leave such a horrific mark.

Clasping her mouth tightly to muffle her silent tears, Yun Xiu couldn’t bear to imagine just how severely Tang Luo must have been wounded at that time. They might have never seen each other again if it had been just a little worse.

“Battles… are always like this.”

Tang Luo scratched his head, knowing the injury on his back must have terrified Yun Xiu, then quickly turned around to hold the frightened woman tight.

In truth, the damage by Wang Chang’s Purple Cloud Divine Thunder was more than what was visible on the surface. When the lightning had entered his body, he had vaporized at least thirty percent of his blood essence and had been temporarily deafened.

At least sixty million of his meridian pathways had been destroyed, preventing him from fully controlling his physical body.

Thankfully, the power of the Void Dual Wheels and Yin-Yang Grinding was strong enough to block seventy percent of the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder; otherwise, he might truly never have seen Yun Xiu again, which was a frightening thought indeed.

“Let’s leave Chaochang. I don’t want to be a city lord anymore. Okay?”

After calming down, the woman in his arms looked up and the first thing she said made Tang Luo laugh, “Wouldn’t all the efforts we’ve made before be wasted then?”

“Going in the wrong direction, stopping is progress.”

The determined Yun Xiu seemed very resolute. She felt she could no longer be selfish, knowing that if she continued to drag Devil Lord Gouchen in Chaochang, he would face unavoidable dangers one day.

“How can taking back Chaochang be the wrong direction? This is the homeland of the Yun Clan. You said yourself that you love Chaochang the most, that you’d rather live here than in the safe Minor Spiritual Realm of Zhongzhou. Have you forgotten?”

“I haven’t forgotten.” Yun Xiu shook her head. “But taking back Chaochang is a matter for the descendants of the Yun Family. It shouldn’t make you fight to the death. Wang Chang has already discovered your whereabouts. Staying in Chaochang, you will be in danger!”

“You think that if I continue to stay in Chaochang, I’ll be in danger, and that’s why you want to give up?”

“Yes.”

Yun Xiu looked into Tang Luo’s eyes, earnestly saying, “Let’s leave here. The world is so vast; let’s go somewhere where Wang Chang can’t find us.”

“Although I really would love to retire with you to the countryside and live a happy and peaceful life, this time doesn’t seem quite right for that.”

Tang Luo answered with a cheeky smile, “Running away ultimately isn’t the way to solve problems. Wang Chang is coveting the Blood Tower’s secrets, and he won’t let go of the Minor Spiritual Realm of Longyuan. But do you think we have the strength right now to go toe-to-toe with him?”

“So, staying in Chaochang is the answer?”

Seeing that Tang Luo was unwilling to give up, Yun Xiu pressed on urgently, “If we keep staying here, it will only provoke more severe conflicts, neither Wang Chang nor the Xiang Family will let go!”

“Neither will we.”

Tang Luo said with a light laugh, “I do like the merchant’s philosophy that harmony brings wealth, but some problems can’t be solved by backing down, only by facing death to find life!”
