Chapter 1267 - Chapter 1267 Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-Nine Hearts

Chapter 1267: Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-Nine: Heart’s Illumination Chapter 1267: Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-Nine: Heart’s Illumination It was already the middle of the night when the burly man carrying a staff walked out of the last noble family’s backyard in the Upper City District, aimlessly strolling down the silent long street, idly surveying the Azure Dragon Tail Street littered with corpses.

After wandering through a dozen blocks, he finally stopped walking, turned around, and headed towards a closed shop. He pushed open the door that was sealed with a notice, and the room was only dimly lit by a sliver of moonlight. However, when Tang Luo closed the door with a backhand, the light was completely extinguished.

Taking the Blood Jade from his bosom, Tang Luo accurately tossed it onto the table. The crimson light illuminated several silhouettes hidden in the shadows, namely the Corpse Protector Gu Han and several heaven-ranked assassins from the Ancient Blood Tower.

“We meet again, Tang Tianjiao.”

“This is hardly my preferred spot for a rendezvous.”

“Tonight, the monk is about to leave Chaochang.”

“It makes sense, these two days the Forest Department has been borrowing troops all over Chaochang, leaving early is better.”

“Before leaving, the monk has something he wishes to ask Tang Tianjiao.”

“Some things are understood without asking so explicitly, the monk only needs to know that this young master is a friend, not an enemy.”

“Not bad, then please keep the Blood Jade safe, Tang Tianjiao, until we meet again if destiny allows.”

“The master used the Blood Jade to summon me here just to say this?”

“Some things don’t need to be asked so clearly, they can be understood by heart, isn’t that what Tianjiao said?”

“Fine then.”

Tang Luo shrugged his shoulders, picked up the Blood Jade between two fingers, and extinguished the red light: “We shall meet again if fate allows.”

Darkness once again enveloped the space; the lattice windows made several sounds. Only Tang Luo remained in the room, shaking his head, ready to leave.

He had originally planned to use the Blood Tower to release Xiang Lan, but since they were eager to leave, he naturally had to find another way. However, it seemed odd that they had been so eager to meet with him but then made not even a single request.

Perhaps they had thought they were contacting Hook Chen, but upon seeing him, they found themselves unable to speak on many matters. After all, their relationship wasn’t there yet.

Trying to convince himself with such logic, Tang Luo left the doorway. He hadn’t yet had time to pull out the Great Dao Thunder Chanting Staff that was stuck in the ground when his expression suddenly changed and he muttered in a low voice, “Understanding by heart my ass, at least give me a heads-up if you want me to cover your retreat, monks are truly not good people!”

Within moments, piercing whistles ripped through the sky from all directions, and dozens of Fierce Realm powerhouses surrounded Tang Luo completely, as the stars in the sky glittered and members of the Forest Department, led by the Heavenly Patrol Envoy Wang Chang, emerged in the moonlight!

“The Great Dao Thunder Chanting Staff.”

Wang Chang first noticed the weapon on Tang Luo’s shoulder, then frowned as he looked at his face and asked, “Why is Tang Tianjiao here, and where is the group from the Blood Tower?”

“They’ve all gone,” Tang Luo said nonchalantly with a shrug, “Just now.”

The faces of the Forest Department agents changed on the spot, and they began to make incantations to pursue the enemy, but Wang Chang stopped them with a wave of his hand.

Looking interestedly at Tang Luo, whose demeanor remained calm, the Heavenly Patrol Envoy from the Forest Department spoke, “The whole world speculates that if there comes a day when Longxi’s Pride can progress no further in martial arts, which family he will choose to focus his practice with. Initially, I thought Tianjiao would join the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou, but now it seems I might have been wrong.”

Following Wang Chang’s words, the expressions of the Forest Department agents changed again and they surrounded Tang Luo as if facing a formidable enemy.

“Please accompany us to Jialan Village, Tang Tianjiao, and talk about when you started getting involved with the Ancient Blood Tower and which sect’s divine powers and secret techniques you’ve stolen.”

Wang Chang stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking down at Tang Luo with an amused tone, “Speak clearly and plainly, and only then can you, the pride of your clan, depart. But if you can’t explain yourself, I’m afraid you’ll have to accompany this envoy to Hanging Sky City in Zhongzhou.”

“It seems there’s no difference between the Heavenly Patrol Envoy and an ordinary band of robbers, huh?”

Carrying his staff, Tang Luo was not intimidated and still wore a smile, “We have just met, and you are already eager to slap the label of colluding with the Ancient Blood Tower on me. Are you really here to investigate, or are you seizing the opportunity to eliminate the rising pride of noble families?”

“The fact that Gu Han from the Blood Tower has met with the pride of the clan a second time is true. The role of the Heavenly Patrol Envoy is to oversee the world, so naturally we must clarify why the Ancient Blood Tower would meet with you. How can you think there’s malicious intent?”

Wang Chang, too, was smiling, but his eyes were filled with a few degrees of ferocity and venom. Without thinking, it was clear what he was plotting.

“It’s certainly possible to discuss the matter, but I think we need some witnesses. Otherwise, upon entering Jialan Village, whatever the Heavenly Envoy says, goes, right?”

“Cut the nonsense.”

Wang Po frowned and said, “The Heavenly Patrol is an intelligence organization established by the joint efforts of several sacred sites, with a separation of three powers for mutual oversight and balance. Do you really think we would specifically target you with some kind of conspiracy?”

“If the one asking the questions were you, I wouldn’t be too worried. But this person by your side seems to have no good intentions.”

Tang Luo, still smiling, reinserted his Great Dao Thunder Chanting Staff back into the ground and said with a smile, “Why not just ask your questions here then? You ask, I answer, and let’s make things clear.”

“Ask and…”

“Are you treating the Heavenly Patrol as some kind of wild duck organization? Wang Ling, Wang Kai, take him down and bring him back to Jialan Village!” Wang Chang issued the command directly, interrupting Wang Po and ordering the elite troops of the Forest Department.

Hearing the command, the elites from the Forest Department also drew their spiritual weapons and, together with the elite forces of the Chaochang Clan, charged toward the burly man on the ground.

However, the invited strongmen from Chaochang did not really make a move but instead stood there, looking at each other.

They could sense the malice in Wang Chang’s words; if they attacked Tang Luo along with the Forest Department, wouldn’t that be betraying the principle of independence of the noble families?

They had come to offer help, not to serve the sacred lands as dogs. Thus, upon hearing Wang Chang’s command, they instead distanced themselves.

So, the only ones who really attacked were Wang Clan’s disciples from the Forest Department, and their methods of attack were surprisingly characteristic of the Wang Family from the southern regions.

Through the luminance of the Big Dipper Formation, countless demons and spirits descended from the heavens, wielding claws and wings, roaring as they swooped toward Tang Luo.

The sinister aura of the ghosts turned the temperature markedly colder in an instant, with even the eaves developing a layer of frost.

With quantity leading to a qualitative change, these spirits–of at least the monster grade–rained down endlessly and would, in short order, exhaust Tang Luo’s Spiritual Power and then capture him.

Strongmen from Chaochang, after some thought, turned their heads away, not wanting to witness such a grim scene, only to see some of the Wang Family’s disciples looking as if they had seen ghosts.

The sky was full of ferocious spirits, but the Thunderous Gang Wind was even stronger. Tang Luo, holding the staff with one hand, swung wildly into the sky, casting hundreds of thunderous Gang Waves imbued with chanting, and cut down all the spirits.

These spirits, seemingly endless, were actually each tamed by the disciples of the Wang Family, and now they were being mindlessly slaughtered, causing these already lowly born disciples much pain. For a moment, they lost their composure.

“Wang Ling, be careful!”

Wang Po, who had been observing the battle and had not participated in the assault, suddenly gave a loud warning to one of the distracted disciples.
