Chapter 1263 - Chapter 1263 Chapter 555 Escalating Further

Chapter 1263: Chapter 555: Escalating Further Chapter 1263: Chapter 555: Escalating Further “So urgent?”

Tang Luo was somewhat troubled, “I still have many things left unhandled in Chaochang.”

While the bare-bone commander could leave at a moment’s notice, he now had a family to consider. If not for the epidemic, taking Yun Xiu with him would have been a sure thing; however, at this critical juncture, convincing her would not be so easy.

Seeing the hesitation on Tang Luo’s face, Tang Baichuan transmitted to him, “Don’t forget the Starry Sky Great Array of the Wang Clan in the south. Wang Chang is not like other Saint Children. Using others’ power to achieve his goal won’t cause any psychological burden to the disciples of the Wang Clan. We don’t have much time left!”

Wang Chang wouldn’t let things go easily, because for him, the epidemic in Longzhou was irrelevant. Capturing the Devil Lord was his top priority.

This would not only allow him to stand out among the patrols of the Dutian Heavenly King, but it would also gain him significant prestige within the Wang Clan in the south. Therefore, it was clear, without much thought, that the departing Wang Chang wouldn’t think about helping the people of Chaochang but would proceed with his next scheme.

“But I really can’t leave now…”

Tang Luo frowned, “If it’s just about diverting the Dutian Heavenly King’s patrol’s attention, wouldn’t it be sufficient if the Devil Lord just left with you?”

“What do you mean?”

“Find a tall and thin substitute, who could tell the difference?”

Tang Luo found a not-so-perfect solution, “As for myself, I can act in Chaochang using my real identity since the outside Wind Media knows I am here, don’t they?”

“Let’s do it that way.”

After some thought and seeing no issue, Tang Baichuan immediately decided, “Get ready and then we can depart.”

South City

After seeing the disappearance of Hook and the White Tiger Seven Stars, Broken Sun, who was in charge of gathering intelligence, found Gu Han who was attending to disaster relief at the fastest speed, and couldn’t contain his anger, “Boss, that Hook deceived us to stay in Chaochang, but he himself ran off with the White Tiger Seven Stars. Should we also pull out?”

“Mr. Hook has left…”

Gu Han was stunned, “How could that be possible?”

“What’s so impossible about it!”

Watching his boss being repeatedly baffled by the opponent, Broken Sun angrily said, “To know a face is not to know the heart, he’s always been a coward who dares not show his true face. We agreed to pull out after two days, but he ran off in less than half a day. If Wang Chang and his group return, we’d end up as cannon fodder covering his retreat. Such a malicious scheme!”

Although Gu Han felt that Broken Sun was being a bit excessive, the Devil Lord’s departure without notice still irked him. With a stern face, he asked, “Which way did they go?”

“They headed out to sea at an extremely fast speed!”

“Is that so…”

Gu Han frowned, pulled out the Blood Jade to contact Hook, and after sensing it with his eyes closed for a moment, he opened his eyes and said to Broken Sun, “I see. Contact the Poisonous Lady and Demon Eye to leave Chaochang by tomorrow night.”

“Boss!”

“That’s enough, no more discussion, just go do it!”

The Corpse Monk put back the Blood Jade into his chest, his expression calm.

Jialan Village

Storming back to their station, the members of the Forest Department were all giving mixed advice to Wang Chang.

As disciples of the Wang Clan and warriors under the Dutian Heavenly King, this group of experts, who were always proud and confident, faced such frustration for the first time in their lives.

Understanding Lu Chen’s aloof and protective nature, they naturally held no grievances against Lu Shaolin but instead redirected their anger toward the Devil Lord and the White Tiger Seven Stars.

“Angel, let’s ask for reinforcements from Hanging Sky City. If the Mountain Department or Wind Department is willing to support us, we can take down the Devil Lord and his followers!”

“Yes, Saint Child, if you don’t want to share the merit, then we can ask our clan for help. With the Starry Sky Great Array, reinforcements will certainly arrive within two days. Then, no matter what Lu Shaolin thinks, we can suppress the Devil Lord and his followers ourselves!”

“Exactly! This Longzhou is really a barbaric territory; even their sects lack manners. Do they think Wang Qian exhausts himself for their sake? If we let this Devil Lord, possessing the Undying Bloodline, grow stronger, Xiehe will ultimately face a tremendous disaster. Lu Shaolin is short-sighted and not suitable for plotting!”

Wang Chang listened quietly until everyone fell silent, then lightly said, “Our withdrawal today is not out of fear of the Devil Lord or those White Tiger Seven Stars, but out of respect for Yulin Pavilion, to change the battlefield.”

“What the Saint Child said is absolutely right!”

Wang Qian, the inspector, stepped forward and said to the crowd, “The Devil Lord and the White Tiger Seven Stars have secretly left Chaochang for the outer sea. My shikigami are following them. Finding their base will be the true victory!”

“You’ve done very well!”

Wang Chang continuously praised him.

People to their fullest potential, objects to their fullest use.

Who would have thought that a shikigami, with no combat abilities, could be so effective in surveillance? Wang Qian’s strength didn’t even rank in the top ten of the Forest Department, but with his mysterious shikigami, he had won Wang Chang’s trust. This favor made other inspectors envious.

Hearing that the Devil Lord and his team had left Chaochang, Wang Po, eager to confront the powerful, quickly said, “Then Father, shall we pursue them using the Heavenly Patrol Divine Vessel?”

“No need!”

Wang Chang waved his hand and said, “Let’s stay in Chaochang and carry out our duties here; we mustn’t startle the grass to scare the snake.”

Hmm!?

The crowd sensed something different in Wang Chang’s words, and Wang Po directly asked, “Father, are you suggesting that Chaochang still has spies from the Devil Lord?”

“The Corpse Protector of Ancient Blood Tower hasn’t left yet, and who knows how many backups are hidden in the Spirit World Passage. The White Tiger Seven Stars couldn’t have appeared out of nowhere!”

Wang Chang flicked his fingers and ordered the Forest Department, “Go and borrow troops from the various clans in Chaochang. I want to know the whereabouts of the remaining top experts!”

…

East Market isolation zone

The former East Market stalls had now become the largest isolation zone in the Lower City District. Yun Xiu had been tirelessly working for several days and nights, not only treating patients but also organizing staff, managing refugees, finding food and water, and arranging logistics.

Such heavy responsibilities were enough to overwhelm some self-proclaimed strategists, yet Yun Xiu managed the entire isolation zone in an orderly manner, earning unparalleled reputation.

This was not solely due to her diligence and kindness; the effect of the Charming Eyes was irreplaceable.

After all, explaining isolation, epidemic prevention, and the burning of infected corpses to illiterate commoners was extremely challenging, but with the aid of the Charming Eyes, it was sufficient to tell them what to do.

With just a slight charm spell, the aloof warriors maintained strict vigilance; doctors worked tirelessly as if invigorated; patients obeyed submissive rules and the youth were honest and minded their own business.

The only problem was that these people looked at Yun Xiu with fervent eyes, resembling some sort of cult organization.

But thanks to the effect of the Charming Eyes, the East Market isolation zone remained calm, even amidst food shortages and exhausted medicinal supplies.

This orderly situation amazed the senior doctor of Yulin Pavilion, “This young lady is extraordinary. I’ve never seen such methods before. Quickly send people to the Middle City District to fetch medicine.”
