I Can See Your Combat Power
Chapter 1261 - Chapter 1261 Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-Three Righteous

Chapter 1261: Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-Three: Righteous and Confident Chapter 1261: Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-Three: Righteous and Confident “What a grandiose way of speaking, what a grand performance by the Heaven Patrol Envoy striving for justice.”

The endless hoarse voice was filled with undecipherable mockery. Aside from Wang Chang, who still turned a deaf ear, the elite members of the Forest Department all looked somewhat displeased, and Wang Po even lowered his head, not daring to lift it.

Tang Luo lightly shook off the frost from his Star Robe and said indifferently to Wang Chang, “A mere million commoners, how could they compare to the concealment of this seat’s dark flowers. With flattery and pretty words, you repeatedly make promises, all to achieve your immediate goal. As to whether Chaochang will turn into a city of death, and how many people will die, what impact does it have on the Wang Clan of the South?”

“Silver-tongued.”

Wang Chang turned around furiously and said coldly, “Does someone as brutal as you also have the right to speak of benevolence and righteousness?”

“If those who lead relief and epidemic eradication are not worthy to speak of benevolence, then can you, the Heavenly Patrol Envoy who knows full well of the plague’s rampage but does nothing, speak of it?”

Tang Luo scoffed, “I acknowledge that the Wang Family commands ghosts; I didn’t expect their hearts to be indistinguishable from fierce ghosts, indeed quite fitting.”

“Enough!”

Lu Shaolin, who had been listening from the side, finally couldn’t contain himself and asked Dutian Wang, “Mr. Dutian and the Wang Clan’s grudges, Yulin Pavilion does not wish to meddle in. With the plague rampant in Chaochang right now and countless lives suffering, if both of you could temporarily put aside your differences and help out, this master would be extremely grateful!”

Wang Chang was greatly startled and incredulously said to Lu Shaolin, “Master Shaolin, this man is…”

“Heavenly Patrol Envoy, there is no need for more words.”

The raised palm halted the words that were on Wang Chang’s lips, and Lu Shaolin had already made up his mind. “You have seen the tragic situation in Chaochang on your way here. Right now, the most important thing is to suppress the epidemic in Chaochang, all other matters must step aside.”

“Please think thrice, Master Shaolin. If you let the Devil Lord go today, the disaster that will befall Xiehe in the future will only be worse than the plague.”

Wang Chang tried one last time to persuade, “Right now, there are only Gu Han and the Devil Lord, a rare opportunity indeed!”

“Is that so.”

Lu Shaolin shook his head and turned his body to dispel a cloud in the northwest sky, revealing seven figures wearing Star Robes and White Tiger Seven Stars masks, who silently approached like specters: “Does the Heavenly Patrol Envoy still believe it’s possible to suppress the Devil Lord Dutian and the protector of Blood Tower in one fell swoop?”

Their masterful Retractive Breath Technique allowed the seven to approach the battlefield silently. If it wasn’t for Lu Shaolin’s keen Spiritual Power sense, he might not have detected the seven figures hiding in the mist.

If it were only the Devil Lord, he wouldn’t mind giving Wang Chang that face, but with the addition of the White Tiger Seven Stars, many things were no longer as they had been.

“It’s still the same words.”

Lu Shaolin looked around and warned the eager individuals from both sides, “Chaochang cannot withstand any turmoil at this moment. I hope both parties can restrain themselves and not make it difficult for Lu!”

Hearing this stern warning, the faces of the Forest Department members flashed with anger, gripping their spiritual weapons tightly, waiting only for Wang Chang’s order.

They were scions of the Wang Clan of the South, and after joining Wang’s patrol, they had roamed across Zhongzhou; when had they ever suffered such neglect?

Lu Shaolin didn’t lend a hand, which was bad enough, but to flagrantly shield the Devil Lord made the Wang Clan’s Heavenly Patrol Envoys feel their dignity had been challenged.

Especially Wang Po, who had just joined the secular world, was bristling with anger, his eyes blazing with fire.

But Wang Chang understood the principle that hasty retaliation could disrupt greater plans. Facing the Devil Lord Hook Chen, Corpse Monk Gu Han, and that clueless group from the Northwest Yuti known as the White Tiger Seven Stars–he and Wang Po might ensure their own safety, but the elite of the Forest Department could suffer devastating losses.

What Lu Shaolin said seemed to be a warning to the Wang Clan’s envoys, but it was actually a warning to the Devil Lord’s side that now was not a good time for combat in Chaochang.

If he ordered an attack now, it would be a complete slap in the face to Yulin Pavilion, leaving no room for reconciliation.

After all, Yulin Pavilion was unlike ordinary sects; these folks didn’t even show respect to Martial Saint Mountain. They’d detain Bu Jiu without a second thought, so to them, what weight could the Heavenly Patrol Envoy carry?

“Out of respect for Master Shaolin, we will leave!”

Having made his statement, Wang Chang intended to lead the elite of the Forest Department away, but was stopped by the Devil Lord Hook Chen: “Hold on!”

The Forest Department turned back indignantly, and Wang Chang even said coldly, “Seeing the reinforcements, are you reluctant to stop and wish to clash with the Forest Department instead?”

“Is fighting and killing all that’s in your head?”

Tang Luo felt utterly speechless: “This epidemic has spread throughout Chaochang territory, and now roughly twenty percent of the populace is infected. There are so many innocent patients here. Don’t you, as a Heavenly Patrol Envoy, feel that you should do something? For instance, using the authority of the Dutian Heavenly King to have the families in control of clean water open up a bit of their territory to at least harbor some of the uninfected populace?”

“The Wang Clan’s envoy does not need your unsolicited advice!”

Feeling irritated deep down, Wang Chang left with the elite of the Forest Department with a cold snort.

Lu Shaolin, remaining behind, had no intention of delaying either. Upon hearing Tang Luo’s suggestion, he immediately turned to the two masters beside him: “Mo Li, Huangfu, you two go back to the pavilion straight away and bring back apothecaries of Fierce Realm abilities and higher to aid Chaochang in this disaster. Also, have Liang Liang bring her brothers and sisters to find the families occupying Chaochang’s water source and, according to Mr. Hook Chen’s suggestion, make them open up an area to take in the uninfected populace.”

Hearing Lu Shaolin’s instructions, the two masters transformed into beams of Spiritual Light and sped away, which led Tang Luo to recognize the difference between a sect’s masters and a family’s masters.

Just like the dazzling sun essence he once saw, these masters raised by powerful factions all had a stunning Escape Technique. The technique of splitting light and shadow was the product of countless generations of masters’ perfecting.

In the smallest details, one could see a depth that surpassed generations of family elites. Such accumulated strength was hard to surpass even by someone exceptionally talented.

After all, what you’re competing against is the foundation of an entire history, which explains why masters from sects and holy places emerge so frequently.

“Master Shaolin, don’t be in such a hurry to leave.”

In the midst of his admiration, Tang Luo stopped Lu Shaolin who was about to leave. He could see that the representative master of Yulin Pavilion was headed to the most affected disaster areas, but he felt that high-quality steel should be used on the blade’s edge: “The source of this epidemic is the toxic wind from the Explosion of Ten Thousand Poisons that destroyed the water supply and purification recycling system. The toxins, no longer contained, naturally entered the underground water system, flowing to every household. If we can’t repair this purification system, the shortage of water sources is irreversible.”

“Humans can only live three to five days without water. Even if they’re aware of the danger, when push comes to shove, they’ll have no choice but to drink the contaminated water. So to eradicate this epidemic, we need to first repair the purification recycling formation. But I’ve had people search through the Xiang Family’s archives and have not found the design for the water system. It is said that the formators of Yulin Pavilion are as learned as deities. Could I ask you to look for that formation and see if there’s any way to find and repair it?”
