I Can See Your Combat Power
Chapter 1286 - Chapter 1286 Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy-Eight

Chapter 1286: Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy-Eight: Coordination Chapter 1286: Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy-Eight: Coordination The Blood Jade was naturally activated by Tang Luo, and when he contacted the Ancient Blood Tower, it was to discuss important matters with them.

Many things in the world cannot be accomplished by one person alone. Those tales where a group of three to five companions march together, hacking their way through thickets into the enemy’s lair and then stabbing the boss to death, exist only in fairy tales.

In this martial world, no matter what you plan to scheme, a martial foundation is indispensable.

Depending on the cleverness of the strategy, the extent of this foundation might fluctuate, but it will never dissipate.

After observing from a distance for more than ten days and wasting countless sheets of paper and pens, Tang Luo finally had a clue and said to Yun Xiu, “I’ve figured out a way to destroy Hanging Sky City!”

“You really thought of a way?” Yun Xiu was first surprised, then exclaimed exaggeratedly, “Wow, you are really amazing!”

Although flattered, Tang Luo still tried to stay composed, chuckled, and waved his hand, “Stay calm, stay calm. Coming up with a method is nothing to fuss over. It would be truly amazing if I could turn the idea into reality.”

“What do we do now?”

Yun Xiu’s beautiful eyes were filled with adoration and admiration for the man before her, the excited and anticipatory gaze made Tang Luo feel infinitely tall, and he swaggered for a while before saying proudly, “First, we need to raise troops and buy horses, create an action team that follows commands, to address the significant disparity in combat strength between us and our enemies. But before that, please cooperate with me in staging a play.”

“A play?”

Yun Xiu was startled and somewhat perplexed, “Shouldn’t we be sincere when seeking allies? Why stage a play?”

“Persuading someone to be the first to try something is always somewhat difficult. But, if there’s already a person of considerable status joining, it will give others confidence. Besides, this play is quite important.”

Tang Luo explained, “Gou Chen left Chaochang without saying goodbye, and the Blood Jade ended up in my hands. We should find an opportunity for the two of them to appear at the same time.”

“So, you want me to impersonate you?”

“No, you will be impersonating Gou Chen.”

“But…” Yun Xiu hesitated, “Gou Chen has a cultivation level of the Fierce Realm, and I’m only at the Mortal Realm. Can I pull it off?”

“Don’t worry, everyone says the Devil Lord Gou Chen is as inscrutable as a deep, silent abyss, it’s all thanks to a breath-concealing technique. With your foundation in Cloud Veil Body Painting, you’ll learn it quickly. As long as you don’t take any action, no one will realize you’re a fake.”

“Alright, but what about the costume?”

Yun Xiu asked further, “Where in Zhongzhou can we find the Devil Lord’s Star Robe and mask at this moment?”

“That’s easy!”

Tang Luo slapped his chest, carried a bucket out of the wooden hut and when he returned, he was holding a brand new set of Star Robe and mask which he handed to Yun Xiu, “Any other questions?”

“No more…”

“Then let’s rehearse our lines!”

…

Feeling his combat strength had soared, Gu Han came to Zhongzhou alone, without bringing any subordinates.

Following the sensing of the Blood Jade, he finally met the Devil Lord Gou Chen and Longxi’s Pride, Tang Luo, at the peak of Desolate Hill beside the Poison Dragon Beach.

These two men of vastly different status. The Devil Lord was a wanted criminal in Buddha’s Country; to say he was a target for everyone in Zhongzhou would not be an exaggeration.

But Longxi’s Pride was related to the Xu Clan from Yuanzhou Holy Land, the rising martial arts star of Longzhou. Even Old Master Bu Chun from Qilin Mountain couldn’t stop praising his martial talent.

The involvement of these two people made Gu Han somewhat uncertain about Dutian Heavenly King’s attitude.

Could it be because he concocted a little scheme against Tang Luo last time, that Dutian Heavenly King was dissatisfied and reluctant to meet with him?

“Mr. Dutian Heavenly King, young friend Tang Luo, we meet again!”

Despite the complexity of the situation, Gu Han, with his Zen Heart clear and tranquil, descended from the mountain and paid his respects to the two men.

Dutian Heavenly King responded with a simple nod, while Tang Luo snorted coldly and turned his head away, apparently still harboring resentment.

Longxi’s Pride’s behavior allowed Gu Han to relax, as showing anger directly was also a sign of closeness.

If the other party truly wanted revenge, there would be no need to turn away. This was someone who dared to lay hands on Wang Chang himself.

It seemed that the relationship between Dutian Heavenly King and Tang Luo was deeper than he had imagined.

“Both of you have met in Chaochang before, so there is no need for this Daoist Priest to make introductions.”

Without any pleasantries, Devil Lord Dutian Heavenly King spoke up. His voice was still the raspy and indifferent tone he always had, cutting straight to the point: “This time, I have invited the master here to ask if there is a chance to bring down Hanging Sky City, how much could the Ancient Blood Tower offer?”

Gu Han, who believed he had seen Yanshan’s Buddhist teachings reach a higher level, now felt his Zen Heart tremble violently, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to answer Dutian Heavenly King’s question.

“Sir… you must be joking.”

“I never joke.”

Dutian Heavenly King turned around, looking towards the west at Hanging Sky City, and lightly pointed, saying: “Ever since they have accepted the wanted notice from Buddha’s Country, even if I don’t find them, they will try their best to find me. Since we are enemies sworn to death, what is there to take into consideration!”

It was true what he said, but scheming against Hanging Sky City was no easy task.

As an organization that had truly fought against the Dutian Heavenly King multiple times head-on, they no longer had any spirit left to counterattack.

With a King Realm master holding their fort, they only had the power to parry when King Patrol went on a campaign, let alone attempting to conquer this marvel of Zhongzhou.

It could only be said that this Devil Lord, who had made a big name for himself straight from the start, had not yet truly understood the strength of the Dutian Heavenly King Patrol.

Gu Han sighed: “Does the sir know that once the Ancient Blood Tower had thirty-three levels, and each of these thirty-three levels was chaired by a master, all of them peak fighters from the Fierce Realm who had fused the strengths of various sects, and were almost at the master level?”

“Including the Tower Master’s King Realm cultivation, this kind of powerful presence was hardly weaker than a third-grade sect. Yet Cao Jinyu only mobilized the elite forces of the mountain and woodland divisions and issued a King Patrol mandate, and within one battle, this strength comparable to a third-grade sect was brought to ruin. After the fight, only two of the thirty-three levels’ masters remained.”

“One is Daoist Priest Feng You, and the other one…”

The monk pointed to his own chest and said: “It is this old monk. Initially, the Blood Tower, like the sir, did not take Hanging Sky City seriously. That’s why we dared to take the assassination contract against the Wind Department Patrol. However, reality proved that we were grossly mistaken.”

“The strength of Dutian Heavenly King Patrol lies not only in Great Commander Cao Jinyu’s cultivation or those disciples from the side branches of the holy lands, the most despairing aspect is their complicated network of relationships and the longing of the Zhongzhou noble families!”

“Not only do disciples from several ancient holy lands that have been passed down till today go on patrols in the King Patrol to experience, but disciples from some Zhongzhou sects even regard the King Patrol as a key to cling to the holy lands and seek a way out. If the sects are like this, the Zhongzhou nobility are even more desperate to join, hoping to establish a connection with Dutian Heavenly King Patrol and board this great ship.”

“Hence, contributing to Hanging Sky City’s downfall is almost impossible.” Gu Han continued in defeat: “Just now sir asked, if we could bring down Hanging Sky City, how much could Blood Tower offer? If it could truly be done, even death would be no loss, but it’s impossible to achieve.”
