Chapter 1306: Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Eight: Changes Chapter 1306: Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Eight: Changes Hanging Sky City Dutian Sky Mirror

Tang Luo, leading Yun Xiu, blended in among them, using the secret technique of body concealment with a cloud veil and did not cause any disturbance.

Within this space full of old, weak women, and children of Hanging Sky City, Yun Xiu’s expression became tangled again. Tang Luo knew immediately what she was thinking and whispered comforting words, “Don’t worry, it’s the Hanging Sky City that has fallen. As long as they’re not foolish enough to cling to a pillar and fall down with it, they’ll definitely survive. After all, those who can live in Hanging Sky City, where are the truly ‘weak’?”

“You’re right.”

Yun Xiu forced a smile as an agreement, compelled herself not to look at these anxious people anymore, and led Tang Luo as they continued forward with their heads down.

“Hey, hey, hey, what’s the rush? It’s not often we come to Hanging Sky City, don’t you want to see if there’s anything valuable inside this core?”

“How can you seem not to be in a hurry at all…”

Yun Xiu, puzzled, said, “This is the heartland of Zhongzhou, a marvel of Xiehe. Countless eyes are watching us, and moreover, right now Wenren Pavilion Master is outside battling with the Divine Sword of Yuanzhou. Our strongest force here is already tied down. If Cao Jinyu has any means of sensing the Hanging Sky City, and if he returns, we won’t be able to escape.”

“It’s not as serious as all that.”

Tang Luo released her little hand, and with an air of experienced wisdom, patted Yun Xiu’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Outside, there is one Human King and one master, and in a while, there will be thirty-three sky-ranked assassins and Corpse Bone Protector. Even if that Divine Sword of Yuanzhou is exaggerated, could he kill everyone? As for Cao Jinyu, this world-renowned Great Commander, I’m afraid he won’t be coming back.”

“What… what do you mean?”

Yun Xiu was shocked, “Isn’t the purpose of this operation to bring down Hanging Sky City?”

Watching the girl’s nervously agitated, Tang Luo took her small hand again and tightened his grip, speaking softly, “That’s our purpose, but it might not be the others’ purpose. For us, the most important thing is to bring down Hanging Sky City and to strike back at Cao Jinyu. But for the Han Family, if they could use this operation to annihilate or severely damage the Dutian Heavenly King’s patrol, that would be most crucial.”

“But… Isn’t the plan to throw a sprat to catch a mackerel, to lead the snake out of its hole?”

“Correct, but that’s my plan. The Ji Clan is not my subordinate; they won’t necessarily follow my plan.”

Tang Luo shrugged his shoulders: “After all, the jade in my eyes and the jade in their eyes may not be the same piece of jade.”

“What do you mean?”

“Think about it…”

When dealing with Yun Xiu, Tang Luo was surprisingly patient: “Cao Jinyu has the stature of a saintly Human King, but the others of the Dutian Heavenly King’s patrol are also not weak. In the first echelon, there is An Yuanxi, known as the Feather God, Lord Lei Ze of An Dinghuang, and the Saint Child Wang Chang from the south. Further down, there are many talented disciples from the Three Realms Holy Land who, given time, could become important figures in Xiehe. If they had a chance to capture them all at once, would the Han Family let it slip away?”

“Gulp…”

Yun Xiu, who thought they were just looting a house unguarded by its tiger, but now faced with such a grand battle, felt her lips dry and unconsciously swallowed saliva after moistening them.

“But what does this have to do with us? We are here just to loot the house; we will destroy the core of Hanging Sky City and then go home.”

Tang Luo, smiling, held Yun Xiu’s hand and swayed forward: “I’ve already seen clearly–the old guy who just summoned everyone to the Dutian Sky Mirror in Hanging Sky City is up there. If nothing goes wrong, he should know the secret of the core. Once we find him, we win!”

Leaving the fighting and killing to the young folks is best; for someone with a family like me, doing some clerical work that doesn’t require much effort is just fine.

Once, Tang Luo’s goal was to stand at the pinnacle of Xiehe’s martial arts world, and even though he could be unrivaled among mortals, after meeting Yun Xiu, he felt that even if he didn’t conquer the world or stand at the pinnacle of martial arts, he was quite happy.

He even felt that he’d lost a bit of his purity toward the martial path, as unbelievably, his heart held things other than the drive to become stronger.

Well, but that’s pretty good too, hehe.

If things went smoothly, the Han Family would kill Cao Jinyu, and he would cause the fall of Hanging Sky City, then no one would adamantly trouble the Yun Clan anymore.

Once the drifting through the void ended, he would go have a good talk with that cheap uncle of his. If the other party was willing, they could move back to Chaochang to develop anew; if not, if he still desired revenge, then Tang Luo would introduce him to the Ji Clan.

But such fighting and killing had nothing to do with him anymore; after roaming around for two good years, he had come to realize that being at home was best.

There weren’t nearly as many schemes and deadly struggles; he could just practice martial arts every day, occasionally scold a few fools from the Marshal Star Pavilion, and see how his wife would decorate their little home–that indeed was the perfect life.

As for the methods of proving the Way and becoming a king, he would figure it out eventually, and if not, he would just use the foolish method!

Suddenly longing for the lands of Longxi, Tang Luo quickened his pace and went straight to the top floor of the Dutian Sky Mirror, dragging out a steward named Cao Anbang.

Seeing their steward captured by the intruder, the guards hiding in the Dutian Sky Mirror could not stand by idly, and they immediately launched a deadly charge toward the Devil Lord Hook Chen. After leaving many dead in their wake, they finally regained their senses and stopped advancing.

“Hm? Not coming anymore? Aren’t you the guards of Hanging Sky City, just watching as I take away your steward?”

Devil Lord Hook Chen, holding Cao Anbang by the nape of his neck, tilted his head and taunted some of the guards hidden among the crowd.

This warrior’s spirit is much lower than he had anticipated…

“Steward, seeing that no one is coming out to die for you anymore, do you plan to suffer a few tortures before leading us to the core of Hanging Sky City, or should we go now?”

Cao Anbang, gripped by the nape of his neck, felt utterly desolate but still insisted stubbornly, “You crazy villain, daring to break into the Dutian Sky Mirror. Once Envoy Xu handles the outsiders, you will be like a turtle in a jar; shouldn’t you be fleeing for your life by now?”

Oh, this guy has a bit more spine than the others, huh?

With a flick of his fingers, Tang Luo injected a force capable of dislocating muscles and misaligning bones into the back of Cao Anbang’s neck, causing the steward of the Dutian Heavenly King to scream in agony.

“This is just a bit of force. Steward, would you like to try something more severe, or shall we speak quickly?”

Cao Anbang trembled all over, yet bit down hard on his teeth. He was afraid of death, of pain, but he had a family…

Having followed Commander Cao Jinyu for so many years, he knew all too well the character of the great Commander. If he steadfastly refused today, even in death he would be granted a grand burial, and his family and descendants would receive generous rewards.

But if he gave in, while he might escape the pain of torture, once Commander Cao returned, his family and kin would be thrown into the sunless Purgatory.

Therefore, even in death, he could not confess!
