I Can See Your Combat Power
Chapter 1280 - Chapter 1280 Chapter 572 The Apologetic Person

Chapter 1280: Chapter 572: The Apologetic Person Chapter 1280: Chapter 572: The Apologetic Person What Cao Jinyu wanted was not just the Yun Family’s inheritance of national treasure-like wealth, he naturally would not miss out on the collection and Minor Spiritual Realm.

Because the development of any power cannot do without money, and to transcend, one must possess the capital to do so.

What is the capital for a power to transcend? For example, an invincible powerhouse, ironclad clan territory, or an escape route in desperate times.

Being invincible is merely one generation’s glory, the later victories and defeats entirely depend on the quality of one’s fortune, not even the An Family Divine Dynasty, Heavenly Wang Clan, or Yuanzhou’s Xu Family, these sacred grounds dare to guarantee that each generation has exceptional powerhouses, let alone other worldly sects.

So the Minor Spiritual Realm is an escape route, the potential last resort left behind.

But a dormant Minor Spiritual Realm had long been divvied up, and the crystallized Minor Spiritual Realm hardly counted as a reliable fallback.

Therefore, a fluid, mobile Minor Spiritual Realm like Longyuan was particularly precious.

Heavenly Patrol Envoy had his own Minor Spiritual Realm, so Cao Jinyu, driven by necessity, set his sights on Longyuan.

And this, too, was why Yun Xiu felt she could negotiate with Hanging Sky City.

An Yuanxi suddenly found himself admiring the woman before him; such maneuvers, if performed by a man, could only be considered excellent, not stunning, but spoken by a woman, they held a kind of charm that brooked no argument from men, a rare sight even in the Divine Dynasty.

However, it was a pity that the Dutian Heavenly King never yielded initiative to others.

“Lady Yun has remarkable presence, but does not conform to the Heavenly Patrol Envoy’s rules, perhaps change the contents of the deal. Please come to Hanging Sky City yourself, Lady Yun, for each day you do not, one person from Longyuan will be killed. Two days, two people.”

An Yuanxi spoke teasingly, turning to the Gu Master beside him and whispered, “Gu Master, how many Longyuan prisoners are left in the underground prison now?”

“Replying to the Heavenly Patrol Envoy, there are around two thousand people.”

“Not too few then, let’s kill ten people a day!”

An Yuanxi casually upped the slaughter count by tenfold, and speaking indifferently to a furious Yun Xiu, said, “Twenty days, Lady Yun, if you cannot reach Hanging Sky City by then, all the captives from Longyuan will be dead. You’d better hurry.”

Without waiting for Yun Xiu’s reply, he turned to the Gu Master and said softly, “Let’s go.”

With the Wings of Thunder and Lightning flapping, An Yuanxi shot straight into the sky, the Gu Master, not wanting to give up but still terrified from a close encounter with a trap earlier, saw An Yuanxi leaving and knew that if he fell into a trap again no one would save him, so he too didn’t persist and started following the Lightning Marks on his return.

…

Most times in life are like this, you design a seemingly reliable plan and follow it strictly, but accidents always come unexpectedly.

Yun Xiu knew she had exposed her motives too soon, allowing An Yuanxi to spot her weakness, even read her mind.

Actually, from the moment she noticed Su Yun, she had already decided to trade her own life for the lives of the people of Longyuan.

The peculiar aspect of her bloodline ensured that even if captured by the enemy, she would not reveal any information about the Yun Clan, this was the best outcome possible.

She could atone for the Yun Clan’s debt to these people and save her Hanging Sky City family, but ultimately An Yuanxi did not respond as she had hoped.

Yun Xiu was very sad because she did not know how to adjust her plan, facing the Dutian Heavenly King and Cao Jinyu, her power was too trivial.

So trivial that even a diligently crafted scheme turned into a tragedy…

“You really are too noble, should I put up a plaque at home for you?”

Lost in her sorrow and anger, a familiar voice pierced her ears, the shadow blocked the harsh sun, Yun Xiu absentmindedly looked up, it was that familiar face, full of heartache and anger.

“Why are you here.”

“Let’s not talk about that, I have a little thing to handle first.”

Tang Luo snorted and was about to raise his hand to kill the constantly trembling Su Yun with a slap, but Yun Xiu, perceiving sharply, pulled the young maid behind her.

“…Have you lost your mind? She’s the one who betrayed your location!”

Tang Luo’s hand froze mid-air, irked, he said.

“They were just trying to stay alive. Is that wrong?”

Yun Xiu didn’t budge, “Loyal to the Yun Family for generations, only to be abandoned in the end. If you were the one discarded outside Longyuan, would you still be grateful to the Yun Family?”

“Of course I can understand their feelings, but that doesn’t mean I can forgive them.”

Tang Luo’s expression remained unchanged, “Others’ love and hate have nothing to do with me, but her presence has put you in danger. Just for that alone, she should die!”

“My affairs are none of your business!”

Yun Xiu suppressed the turbulence in her heart, resolutely said, “I’ve already made it clear to you, we are done for good.”

“What about this letter then!”

Tang Luo, with a cold face, took the letter from the small nest of the Spirit World Passage along with the pair of Immortal Cloud Whisk Souls, “Do you think, a Divine Artifact and the heritage of the King Realm could compensate for the loss of my lover, bullshit!”

Throwing the letter and gloves into Yun Xiu’s arms, Tang Luo said coldly, “This decision of yours might be right for everyone else, but it surely wronged me! They matter, and I don’t? Such a big decision, not even discussing it with me, deciding to sacrifice yourself without even informing me, do you even care about me at all!?”

“This is for the best!”

Yun Xiu, biting her lower lip, turned her face away, struggling to say, “You are the Pride of Longxi, backed by the entire Tang Clan. You should not get involved with the remaining Yun Clan, it’s not good for you or your family!”

Tang Luo exasperated, “Just because you think it’s good, it doesn’t mean it is! You like to think for others so much, why not think about me for once?”

“I have, there’s no way left for me to think!”

Yun Xiu finally burst into tears, “I don’t want to involve anyone, but still, people keep dying because of me. I really can’t keep going like this, if one day you…”

“There’s no such day, I’m not like everyone else.”

Tang Luo looked at the woman crying inconsolably, with heartache he said, “Remember our promise to be together for a lifetime, how can you break your word now!?”

“Hmph, men’s words are deceitful ghosts. I don’t believe it.”

Tears streaming down her face, Yun Xiu couldn’t meet Tang Luo’s gaze, defensively yet forcefully said, “Besides, you’re so practiced at this, probably you’ve already made such promises to someone else!”

“It’s clear that you’re the one breaking the promise, yet you are accusing me instead.”

“Isn’t the Yun Family known for valuing contracts, what happened when it came to you!”

“Words are but air, I never signed any marriage contract with you, such casual vows shouldn’t be taken seriously!”

Scoundrel!

Tang Luo was so angry he gritted his teeth, but being utterly helpless, he merely asserted, “I forbid you to go to Hanging Sky City to die!”

“This is my business, it has nothing to do with you!”

“What! You’re breaking up with me over a bunch of traitors? Are you kidding me!”

“They are not traitors; they are my kin!”

Hearing the word kin, the continually trembling Su Yun finally regained her senses, gently tugging at Yun Xiu’s sleeve.
