Chapter 1269: Chapter 561: Tough Mo Li Chapter 1269: Chapter 561: Tough Mo Li “`

Tang Luo’s heart was in turmoil, yet his response didn’t cease, his face showed intense anger, and with his right arm pulling back like a bowstring, he threw a punch like a dragon, the shadow of the Great Mighty Dragon wrapped in endless fury, soaring straight towards the heavens.

Facing the full force of a physical arts master’s strike, Wang Chang dared not be negligent, summoning a Star God Pillar to shatter the momentum of the fist, casting starlight rain across the sky, lighting up the night.

The green-clad, white-haired Yulin Pavilion Master raised an eyebrow, feeling that the youngsters of today were becoming more irritable, showing no deference to their elders.

In his anger, he raised two azure screens that enveloped both Tang Luo and Wang Chang, his cold voice stated, “Chaochang martial prohibition, if you two wish to fight, you may head south to the open sea and fight to the death if you must. But within Chaochang’s boundaries, if you dare to raise a hand again, don’t blame this old man for not warning you in advance!”

Issuing the final warning on behalf of Yulin Pavilion, Grandmaster Mo Li withdrew the two aquatic arrays, then turned to Wang Chang and said, “Tang Luo is of the Xu Clan’s blood, and you were once the Wang Family’s Saint Child. You should know that the Xu and Wang clans have always had a good relationship. Even for the sake of the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Saint, Wang Tian ji should not be so aggressive and insulting with his words.”

“Grandmaster, you seem to be unfairly taking sides. My father only asked him to disrobe, Tang Luo attacked rashly before he could even explain, if that isn’t a guilty conscience, what is?”

Wang Po said with dissatisfaction, listening to Mo Li’s mediation.

“Do you both father and son take me for a courtesan, thinking it’s acceptable to demand your mother to disrobe in front of everyone?”

Tang Luo retorted coldly, his words pointing directly at Wang Po, whose eyes reddened instantly at the mention of his mother, his spirit surged and Spiritual Power boiled, forgetting all about Mo Li’s warning, ready to unleash the Yin-Yang Array Diagram and the Star God Pillar to execute Tang Luo.

But before he could act, the Yin-Yang Array Diagram was frozen by a chill, even the Divine Light from the Taiyin Star was deflected by an ice mirror. The great dark array appeared again, promptly restraining the reactive Wang Po.

In just an instant, the Dao Child of the south was taken down, left with no power to counter besides detonating his spirit. The green-clad, white-haired elder’s intervention had intimidated everyone there.

Even Wang Chang couldn’t help but look to the side, asking himself if even he, who knew Wang Po’s martial arts so well, had no certainty that he could subdue him in an instant. The element of a surprise attack certainly gave an advantage, but it also highlighted the extraordinary strength of Grandmaster Mo Li.

Tang Luo, who could see the flow of Spiritual Power, naturally felt this even more deeply, understanding that the scene just now wasn’t even the elder grandmaster’s limit. It reminded him of the time when he faced the Esoteric Sect’s Victorious Venerable.

It was similar in that both had the ability to use several secret techniques for powerful and rapid attacks, making him exceedingly difficult to deal with. It seemed Grandmaster Mo Li possessed extraordinary combat strength indeed.

“I have said before, Chaochang martial prohibition. But it seems Young Master Wang hasn’t taken my words to heart. Since that’s the case, I kindly ask the Wang patrol to leave Chaochang.”

Trapping Wang Po, Mo Li looked directly at Wang Chang and coldly issued the final ultimatum, indicating that his previous words were not a joke, “Wang Tian ji, please leave!”

Wang Chang, who had established a formidable reputation in Zhongzhou and acted without restrain, ultimately hit a wall. After leaving behind a trail of bodies, he was actually being given an eviction notice.

This experience made Wang Chang feel as though he was back to his early days in the Heavenly Patrol, engendering a sense of nostalgia.

“Does Grandmaster Mo Li know what he’s doing?”

With a slight uptilt of his lips, Wang Chang wore a devilish smile, with teeth as white as pearl but exuding the scent of blood, “Can Yulin Pavilion bear the consequences of expelling the Heavenly Patrol from this region?”

“This is Longzhou, not Zhongzhou.”

Having weathered many a storm, Grandmaster Mo Li was naturally not intimidated by a few threats, “The actions of the Dutian Heavenly King’s patrol in recent years have indeed crossed the line.”

“Heh, people always desire freedom, yet fail to realize that only the freedom within regulations is true freedom.”

Wang Chang laughed softly, “The likes of Martial Saint Mountain, shutting its doors to follow its own path, only breeds arrogant and conceited individuals.”

“Whether it’s arrogance or pushing people too hard, the hearts of the people will judge for themselves.”

“`

Mo Li responded indifferently, “The Wang Family of the Southern Boundary should take care of their own affairs before meddling in others.”

“The old codger is pushing things too far!”

Frozen in the Netherworld Array and unable to move, Wang Po shouted angrily, “In ten years, you and I will have our battle. I shall return today’s humiliation twofold! And Tang Luo, you insulted my mother; one day I shall cut out your tongue. Yulin Pavilion, the Xu Clan, none will protect you!”

There is no first in literature, and there are no seconds in martial arts. The Wang Family’s Dao Child felt that the main reason for his defeat was the lack of preparation. He had many more tactics to display and many trump cards still unplayed; it was only because Mo Li seized the initiative that he was at a disadvantage.

If they were to square off properly, he didn’t believe he would lose. The humiliation he and his father suffered in Chaochang today could only be soothed by the bones of a Tianjiao and the blood of a grandmaster!

“Why not just self-destruct your spiritual soul now, and see if you can take me with you?”

Tang Luo mockingly said to Wang Po, who was still spouting arrogance trapped within the array, “You’re always talking about the future, about later on. But where is this ‘later on’?”

Wang Po’s eyes reddened even more within the Netherworld Array. Grandmaster Mo Li turned his head with a slight anger and warned, “Tang Tianjiao, please choose your words wisely, or do not blame this old man for disregarding our relations!”

Tang Luo, slightly disappointed that he couldn’t provoke Wang Po to self-destruct, pursed his lips and said nothing further as Wang Chang seemed to have come to some resolution.

He looked at Mo Li, then at Tang Luo on the ground, and said to the surviving elite members of the Forest Department in a detached tone, “Take the bodies of our comrades, let’s go.”

Mo Li released Wang Po from the restriction, allowing him freedom, but the reddened-eyed Wang Family’s Dao Child the moment he got out wanted to fight Tang Luo and was held back by a few disciples of the Wang Family.

The Dutian Heavenly King, who had always had his way in Zhongzhou, finally met his match at Yulin Pavilion. Just like Pavilion Master Lu Chen, Yulin Pavilion was exceedingly rigid from top to bottom, showing no face to the Wang Family of the Southern Boundary nor to the Wang patrols of Zhongzhou.

On the Wilderness, the Heavenly Patrol Divine Vessel rose up, and Wang Chang, with the heavily damaged Forest Department, left Chaochang and headed out to the open sea.

Aboard the ship, the still indignant Wang Po was unwilling to accept the situation and asked, “Father, are we just leaving like this?”

“What would you have us do?”

“We’ve lost so many brothers, are we just going to let it go?”

“The blood of the Wang Family’s disciples will never be shed in vain.”

Wang Chang said coolly, “But knowing when to strike to cause the enemy the most pain, that is the more important lesson.”

“What does Father mean?”

“The Longxi Alliance is nothing but a ragtag bunch; with a little scheme, they can easily be splintered. However, Yulin Pavilion’s stance made your father realize why the Great Commander has been heavily pushing for the development of our own power these years.”

Standing on the deck of the Heavenly Patrol Boat, Wang Chang looking down upon the Southern Region of Longzhou, sighed, “The freedom of each pursuing their own paths is hard to compare with the coordinated effort of working together. Just wait, it won’t be long before Yulin Pavilion starts to struggle.”

“Is the Wang patrol going to launch an eastern expedition?”

Wang Po excitedly asked, catching the grand plans in Wang Chang’s words.

“It’s not about conquering, but about rebuilding order; letting the noble families know what can be done and what cannot; what respect is, and what constitutes propriety!”
