Chapter 1290 - Chapter 1290 Chapter 582 Missing the Mark

Chapter 1290: Chapter 582: Missing the Mark Chapter 1290: Chapter 582: Missing the Mark The following matters no longer required Tang Luo’s verbal explanation, for everything he needed to say had already been written in the proposal document; he just needed to wait for the Slaughter Immortal Army’s commander to finish reviewing the plan and conclude.

Simple and relaxed.

Tang Luo returned to his original seat, picked up the still-warm tea from the tray, and savored it delightfully.

It wasn’t out of neglect, but rather he knew that it would take Ji Xuanyuan a good while to finish reading the proposal.

Two hours later, Ji Xuanyuan put down the paper in his hand and exhaled a long breath.

When he looked at Tang Luo again, there was not a trace of contempt in his eyes, but rather a complex expression: “Ji Chen’s defeat was not undeserved!”

???

Tang Luo was bewildered, not understanding why the commander would make such a sigh and was about to inquire when the other party had already turned the conversation.

“This plan, I… I am not in a position to decide!”

As if removing a heavy burden, Ji Xuanyuan spoke to Tang Luo with a light tone, “But I will relay it to the Saint Lord.”

The power required for the plan had already surpassed what the Min City families, and even the entire Lingxiao Sect’s Slaughter Immortal Army, could provide; it needed approval from higher levels for the arrangements to be possible.

Although he was reluctant to exhibit weakness in front of Tang Luo, a scion of a prestigious family, the sense of responsibility to restore the glory of the Han Family triumphed over his personal vanity.

If they could shatter Cao Jinyu’s Dao Heart before the great battle and cause the fall of the base patrolled by the Dutian Heavenly King, then their odds of victory would increase by threefold.

There was just one most crucial issue that needed to be assured beforehand.

“How can we ensure that the Devil Lord Gouchen will be wholeheartedly with us? His origins are unknown, even the Dutian Heavenly King’s patrols couldn’t find any background on him, and his techniques are even more bizarre. The Yuan Magnetic Mountain’s lineage was severed seven hundred years ago, and such a spherical, soul Visualizing technique is unprecedented. Moreover, his body refining techniques also have undiscernible origins. If he were to suddenly change his mind and pull back, wouldn’t this plan fall apart?”

“Rest assured, Commander, Devil Lord Gouchen will not go back on his word.”

“These are no ordinary circumstances, guarantees by outsiders might be insufficient.”

“It’s not an outsider, it’s myself.”

Tang Luo gave a faint smile, pointed out with the Blood Asura God Shocking Finger, causing Ji Xuanyuan’s expression to shift once more.

Of course, the commander of the Slaughter Immortal Army wasn’t intimidated by Tang Luo’s finger strength; it was what lay behind that finger that caught his attention.

He had thought that after reading through the proposal document there was nothing left in the world that could surprise him.

However, the scene unfolding before his eyes made him start to doubt his life all over again.

“How is this… possible.”

“There’s nothing impossible.”

Withdrawing the Blood Asura God Shocking Finger, Tang Luo calmly said, “If I did not have absolute confidence, how could I make it the most important link in the design? Can Commander Ji be at ease now?”

“With this… what else is there to be uneasy about.”

Apart from a wry smile, Ji Xuanyuan could find no more appropriate expression.

Longxi’s Pride and Devil Lord Gouchen were the same person; could there be anything more shocking?

For ordinary martial artists at such an age, creating their own unique martial arts style is a difficult task, with most picking up scraps of others’ wisdom.

But even finding a unique style does not guarantee strength.

Such martial arts styles that are unique and incomparably powerful, like those of Tang Luo and Hook Chen, are truly rare.

And when both styles come from the same person, it can only mean that this person’s talent and genius in martial arts have reached an unfathomable and superior realm.

Ji Xuanyuan asked himself, not to mention at Tang Luo’s age, even now that he had found the true meaning of martial arts, could he design another martial arts style to match his current prowess?

The answer, of course, was no. It was not that he couldn’t design another style, but he didn’t have enough time to refine it. A new technique or divine power required a massive amount of time to perfect, and he was no longer young.

Not everyone in the world was like the person before him, who could master such obscure techniques in such a short amount of time.

“Thirty-six Fallen Imperial Magnetic Beads, heh, if the Yuan Magnetic Mountain had such an astonishing and brilliant disciple, they wouldn’t have broken their lineage!”

With another sigh, Ji Xuanyuan stood up and said to Tang Luo, “Then, please, Tang Tianjiao, return to your guest room to rest. After I report to the Saint Lord, we can discuss further.”

“Very well, I shall wait for the leader’s reply.”

This was something expected, so Tang Luo simply got up, exchanged courtesies, and then left the side hall.

Although Ji Xuanyuan mentioned discussing with higher-ups of the Ji Clan, given the current situation, this matter was almost certainly decided.

He could also take this opportunity to visit Xu Lao Ying, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, and see how the young Saint King, who was recovering from his injuries in the Lingxiao Sect’s Heavenly Pond, was doing.

After returning to his guest room and greeting the housekeeper, Tang Luo took Yun Xiu and almost some fine wine, and hurried to the Lingxiao Sect.

They were received by Dao Child Ji Chen. After not seeing him for two years, this martial arts prodigy had made considerable progress.

Not only had he touched the threshold of body technique mastery, but he had also completely concealed his vigorous dragon-like vitality. He was like a sheathed sword waiting to be tested, awaiting the opportunity of the ten provinces of Guanghan.

Facing such a Ji Chen, to think of repelling him with a punch driven by the Yin-Yang Same Origin Strength was probably impossible now.

“Indeed, in a time of great strife, martial arts are like rowing against the current. Dao Child Ji Chen’s progress is remarkable, truly enviable!”

Looking over the transformed Dao Child, Tang Luo praised him in these terms.

If someone else had offered such direct praise, Ji Chen would not have been visibly overjoyed, but he wouldn’t have felt ashamed either. However, coming from the person in front of him, he could only wave his hand and sigh, “Compared to the Longxi’s Pride, who fought Yanyun Grandmaster to a standstill and forced back Wang Chang of the South, my modest progress is not worth mentioning. That is an overstatement.”

“That’s just an exaggerated story spread by Wind Media, it can’t be taken seriously.”

“May I ask what brings Tang Tianjiao to the Lingxiao Sect this time?”

“Nothing special, I just wanted to visit Xu Lao Ying, who is recovering from his injuries, and catch up on old times.”

“Then, Tianjiao has come at an inconvenient time,”

Regretfully, Ji Chen continued, “The injuries of Xu Lao Ying had already fully recovered months ago, and he left the mountain in a hurry after bidding farewell to the Saint Child.”

Caught off guard by this news, Tang Luo expressed his surprise, inquiring, “Did he say where he was going?”

“This… Xu Lao Ying left in haste and did not mention his destination.”

Given the character of that elder cousin, the first thing he would do after healing would be to go out and “diligently cultivate” in brothels.

But places as desolate as Beimang would certainly not be the preferred destinations of someone from the Xu Clan.

And with more than a hundred relatively prosperous cities in Longzhou, finding him now would indeed be a stroke of luck.

Well, it seemed impossible to meet him, so Tang Luo handed the fine wine to Ji Chen with a smile, saying, “Monastic life on the mountain is austere; here are several jugs of fine wine brought from Chaochang. Since Xu Lao Ying won’t have the chance to enjoy them, I’ll gift them to Brother Ji!”
