Chapter 1319: Chapter 611: An Inspired Moment An Yuanxi Chapter 1319: Chapter 611: An Inspired Moment An Yuanxi “Hold up, hold up, if you’ve got something to say, just say it, and keep out of my private affairs.”

Tang Luo crossed his arms in dissatisfaction and said, “And I wasn’t just loafing around, I was handling important business!”

“Handling what, passing on the family line? Too late!”

Tang Feng said with annoyance, “You wouldn’t listen no matter how much we tried to persuade you before. How many times did Miaoyin Square invite you? People who wanted to play matchmaker practically broke down our door! Now that you’re in Fierce Realm, you suddenly think of passing on the family line.”

“What’s wrong with being in Fierce Realm? Don’t tell me you don’t know that people in Fierce Realm can have children, too?”

Tang Luo raised an eyebrow, unconvinced.

“Yes, yes, yes, they can!”

Tang Feng obviously didn’t want to shatter Tang Luo’s delusions, so he used a very sophisticated triple affirmation to express a negative, and then straightened the three alliance letters on the table and handed them to Tang Luo, saying, “Let’s talk business. The envoys from these three clans are currently in Boma City, and it seems they’re here to probe the truth of Longxi. The three people who came are all exceptionally powerful. The Sect Head has to stay in Lanshan City, so you’re the only one who can intimidate them right now!”

“No big deal!”

Tang Luo flicked his fingers, gathered the three alliance letters, and said in a relaxed tone, “Do you want me to scare them off, stall them, or shall I take the fight to their doorstep?”

“Scaring them off is of course the best option, but if that doesn’t work, then stall them for a bit.”

Tang Feng pondered for a moment and said helplessly, “Actually, forming an alliance wouldn’t be out of the question, but not with these terms. We are very welcoming of more people who are willing to build Chaochang together. From the beginning, the clan head never intended to alienate others. It’s just that some of the allied clans within Longxi are too exclusionary, making outsiders feel like Longxi is an impenetrable barrel.”

“Hmm, you’re confusing me. So you’re saying there is an intention to form an alliance?”

Tang Luo scratched his head. What seemed like a simple matter had become somewhat complicated after Tang Feng explained it.

“Longxi is in essence a big alliance!”

Tang Feng said impatiently, “Why are heretics and deviants considered such? Because they are few in numbers and lack order. If the whole of Longxi could form an alliance following the same order, then tell me, whose name would this holy land of Longzhou ultimately bear, Bu or Tang?”

“Wow, Minister, you’ve got grand aspirations. So, the Great Longxi Alliance is aimed at encompassing the entire Longzhou region?”

Tang Luo had always thought that the ambition to turn the Tang Clan into a holy land belonged only to him.

After all, to anyone, a newly rising family like the Tang Clan didn’t seem capable of coveting a holy land, to put it bluntly.

Even without the Bu Clan pushing them down, after counting off ten fingers, it still wouldn’t be Longxi’s turn to bear the Tang surname.

But judging from Tang Feng’s current tone, it seemed as if he had already scheduled the project of turning the Tang Clan into a holy land.

Feeling particularly proud for having astonished Longxi’s Pride, Tang Feng kept his casual demeanor and said, “Our goal is to build upon Longxi and radiate across the entire Longzhou region. The purpose of an alliance is never to rest on our laurels. Whether we remain a nameless family or strive for the depth befitting a holy land, that was your own saying, wasn’t it? What’s this, have you lost your ambition now that you’ve got a woman?”

“Provocation won’t work on me. Got anything more high-level?”

Tang Luo waved his hand, showing disdain for Tang Feng’s digs.

“Then that’s settled.”

Tang Feng didn’t mind either, similarly waving his hand and saying, “Don’t drag us down when the time comes.”

“Heh, low effort!”

Holding the three alliance letters in hand, Tang Luo turned and left the Wind Media Department of Lanshan City.

“Prepare the carriage, to Boma Posthouse!”

Divine Sword of Yuanzhou, Dongshan Sword Pavilion

Though it’s called a sword pavilion, at this moment it resembled more of a mourning hall.

The loss of Xu Xiao was an immense tragedy for the entire Xu Clan.

In facing such a loss, everyone at the Dongshan City Sword Pavilion was overcome with inexplicable sorrow, only by conducting a high-standard funeral could they express their regret and grief.

However, as a peak figure of the Fierce Realm, Xu Xiao was given the treatment reserved for a Sword Master.

Even the arrangements for the mourning hall were of the highest order–the seven-seven ritual of pursuit with forty-nine days of continuous lighting of lamps, burning of joss paper, and incense offerings;

Not only did Xu Xiao’s immediate family mourn, but the entire Divine Sword Army spontaneously donned mourning apparel, refraining from shaving, attending banquets, drinking, and any form of entertainment for a hundred days.

This solemn respect was last seen when the old Sword Master passed away, demonstrating the high regard in which the Divine Sword of Yuanzhou was held within the Xu Clan.

Beyond the Xu Clan’s central group, disciples of factions that had once been defeated by Xu Xiao also came to offer their condolences.

An Yuanxi arrived in Yuanzhou on the forty-eighth day after Xu Xiao’s demise to pay his respects to his once colleague.

“Please accept my condolences, madam.”

The Feather God An Yuanxi, with his impressive reputation among all the sacred places, was well-regarded in every domain. Although he had already retired as a wandering warrior, he was still one of Xiehe’s distinguished young experts. So coming from such a figure to offer condolences, even Xu Xiao’s relatives had to receive him with high regard.

The banquet offered after the condolences was a basic courtesy, with a complete vegetarian feast prepared and personally hosted by Xu Xiao’s eldest son, Xu Lai.

Looking at the powerful swordsman immersed in grief, draped in sat-cloth and donning mourning attire, An Yuanxi heaved a sigh, “Elder Xu Xiao was a hero in life, yet, it’s regrettable and lamentable that his legend ends in this way.”

“You are too kind, Feather God.”

Though Xu Lai was significantly older than An Yuanxi, he did not put on airs and humbly considered himself the junior: “My father upheld justice in his life and joined the royal patrol to live out his principles. Whether his journey was long or short, I believe he harbored no regrets.”

“Divine Sword Xu Xiao was beyond our reach.”

An Yuanxi sighed deeply, “Now, with the disturbances in Xiehe and the absence of a just warrior like Elder Xu Xiao, it’s hard to imagine how much evil will breed.”

“With the Qionghua Star Lord at the helm of the royal patrol, order should soon be restored. Feather God need not worry.”

After a simple vegetarian meal, An Yuanxi took leave of Xu Lai, but then hesitated, pausing two or three steps later. Xu Lai could tell, clearly understanding that the man before him still had something to say: “Please speak your mind, Feather God, there’s no need to hold back!”

“Since Brother Xu is forthright, Yuan Xi will speak frankly.”

As if making a tremendous decision, An Yuanxi earnestly said, “Originally, the matter of Elder Xu Xiao’s passing was concluded, but there’s a crucial secret I must divulge to Brother Xu. I simply cannot rest easy if I keep silent!”

“On that day at Hanging Sky City, besides the master of Blood Tower Wen Ren Yuanwu, the Corpse Bone Protector, and the thirty-three assassins, there was also the Devil Lord Gouchen and the Yun Clan’s celestial maiden Yun Xiu.”

“After Elder Xu Xiao led the Fire Department to repel Blood Tower, he entered the Dutian Sky Mirror alone, aiming to pursue two thieves who had slipped inside the mirror. But when he came out, he declared his own demise. Don’t you find that there are just too many unanswered questions, Brother Xu?”

Xu Lai frowned, “My father was already planning to leave the royal patrol; the encounter with Yun Clan’s heir was an opportunity for him to bring an end to his mistakes with his own life. The matter was already very clear, why does the Feather God bring it up again?”

“If Elder Xu Xiao truly intended to leave the royal patrol, why then did he lead his troops to guard the Dutian Sky Mirror?”

An Yuanxi countered, “Moreover, this celestial maiden Yun Xiu possesses the lineage of the Charming Eyes, powerful enough to influence the Fierce Realm. If Elder Xu Xiao was prepared, naturally he wouldn’t fear it. But if he was caught off guard while confronting Gouchen…”

Listening to An Yuanxi’s words, Xu Lai’s pupils dilated sharply as a fierce aura erupted from him.
