I Can See Your Combat Power
Chapter 1328 - Chapter 1328 Chapter 620 Door Lintel

Chapter 1328: Chapter 620: Door Lintel Chapter 1328: Chapter 620: Door Lintel Having stabilized the shaky mountain mass, Du Sha jumped down from the mountain peak.

He approached Tang Luo, who was busy working.

Watching him cautiously inserting the True Spirit-less soul into Yun Xiu’s liver, the God’s Residence, he exclaimed in admiration, “Very powerful, merely one hundred and eighty Cloud Hands working together, yet their damage surpasses that of a Xuan-level Spirit Art, and the force and techniques embedded in the Cloud Hands completely block all escape routes, leaving one no choice but to break through with force or withstand with robustness. It’s quite remarkable.”

“It should be remarkable, having information seeds from battling so many peak warriors of Xiehe poured into a phantom seed, if even this could not be achieved, it would be too disappointing.”

After successfully restoring the withering soul back into Yun Xiu’s God’s Residence, Tang Luo let out a sigh of relief, casually responded to Du Sha, then gently lifted the woman up, bringing his face close to her ear to revive the consciousness that lay deep in the Sea of Consciousness using spirit revival techniques.

The awakened Yun Xiu did not directly control her body but instead sent her main spirit into the God’s Residence, controlling that True Spirit-less soul.

This was supposed to be the final and most challenging step in the God-Creating Plan, but for a woman with the Charming Eyes bloodline, subduing an unclaimed soul was certainly not a problem, it was merely a matter of time.

Carrying Yun Xiu, Tang Luo walked back to the cultivation room, gently placed her on the stone bed, then left the cave.

By this time, all he could do was protect his beloved wife on her path, thankfully, the most dangerous parts were over, and the rest was a clear way.

The successful completion of the God-Creating Plan somewhat exhilarated Tang Luo!

“Even if Jiutian Xuanzun finally becomes skeptical and withdraws mentally, this soul will still maintain a fourfold increase in power. Even if not the strongest soul ever, it will certainly rank among the top three!”

The euphoric joy needed to be shared, and with a companion by his side, Tang Luo could hardly contain his pride.

While most soul power enhancements range between 1-2 times, having a twofold increase already classified one as possessing a top-tier divine soul. Yet, the soul created by the God-Creating Technique had a whopping 4.5 times increase, over a full times beyond the top tier. This leap almost surpassed the total progress of Xiehe’s martial arts over the past millennium.

Being able to perfect and realize such a grand idea, Tang Luo allowed himself to bask in pride for a moment.

“Indeed remarkable.”

Du Sha once again sincerely exclaimed, “It’s just a pity about that battle-spirited personality. If it could have been sealed and controlled with Charming Eyes, it might have become Yun Xiu’s killing weapon.”

“The false ultimately remains false. Letting it linger until it realizes its flawed life, the skepticism generated will completely waste this Supreme Divine Soul.”

Tang Luo shrugged, indicating that he had also considered this scenario that Du Sha suggested: “This way is very good. By erasing the self-doubting True Spirit and leaving the shell of the Supreme Divine Soul, once Yun Xiu’s consciousness perfectly merges with it, Xiehe will eventually have another formidable female figure, perhaps even the first female sovereign!”

Longzhou Calendar, 1787

Early winter, November

Yuanzhou Dongshan City, Xu Lai residence

“It’s been so long, and yet there’s no trace of the person?”

Dressed in mourning clothes, Xu Lai coldly said to the returning commanders of his mansion troops, expressing disappointment.

“To report to the master, due to the Dutian Heavenly King’s indifferent Recruitment Order, the entire Xiehe is now a turmoil akin to a scrambled pot of porridge. Although all efforts have been made, with all Wind Media Organizations having difficulty communicating in these chaotic times, we still haven’t found any trace of Yun Xiu.”

Under the chaotic circumstances, the flow of information naturally stagnated. Xu Lai paced back and forth with furrowed brows, pondering for a moment then said, “To avenge is to return gloriously. Withdraw the hidden rewards in the other states, focus the investigation in the southwestern part of Longzhou, radiating from Chaochang City!”

After setting the direction for the search again for the others, Xu Lai turned to the old housekeeper and asked, “I remember that the prodigy from the Tang Clan controlling the Longxi Alliance is the grandson of the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Saint, right?”

Hearing the family head’s inquiry, the kindly old housekeeper bowed and answered, “To report to the family head, indeed it is so.”

“Prepare the carriage, I must personally visit Middle Ying City!”

“Is the family head thinking of requesting the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Saint to have the Longxi Alliance assist in investigating Yun Xiu’s information?”

Seeing Xu Lai nod, the old housekeeper said, “The family head is currently in mourning, and leaving Dongshan City hastily might not be proper. Let this old servant go on your behalf.”

“In that case, very well.”

After considering for a moment, Xu Lai nodded in agreement.

With the family head’s authorization, the old housekeeper immediately boarded the dragon carriage and headed straight to Middle Ying City, directly to the Sword Pavilion.

Xu Xiao and Xu Feng had forged their friendship through battles, and the actions of two generations of Xu Clan members were always compared by those fond of gossip.

Which young swordsman lacks pride, especially someone with a proud and fierce temperament like Xu Feng? The two generations had clashed several times, both openly and secretly.

As swordsmen, they naturally developed a bond through these win-loss exchanges, but the way two equally arrogant people interacted was also distinctly different from ordinary people.

Yet the appreciation and feelings that settled over time were genuine. Now, having discovered suspicious points around Xu Xiao’s death, Xu Feng should not refuse to assign Longxi Alliance’s assistance, considering the special fondness between the two.

But when the old housekeeper entered the Sword Pavilion to seek an audience with Xu Feng and stated his intentions, the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Saint, still immersed in grief over the loss of an old friend, became furious.

“Go back and tell that brat Xu Lai that his father, Xu Xiao, was a man who stood tall and dignified, an unyielding and fierce swordsman. Don’t disgrace the lineage of the Divine Sword!”

A warrior of unity of spirit and intent should not be overwhelmed by someone’s presence, but it depends on the kind of aura. The old housekeeper intended to argue, but before the raging Heavenly Phoenix Sword Saint, he merely weakly moved his lips a few times before quietly retreating.

He was still intensely anxious when he returned to the estate in Dongshan City, his heart pounding and his forehead sweating profusely as he conveyed Xu Feng’s original words.

“Is that so? I understand.”

Xu Lai responded indifferently.

“Then, my lord, about Yun Xiu’s whereabouts…”

“Keep investigating.”

Without any surprise, Xu Lai replied calmly, “Inform me immediately if there’s any news.”

“Yes, my lord!”

…

Nanji Xu Clan

As the actual ruler of Jiangyang City, the Xu Clan, with its heritage spanning over four hundred years, naturally took pride in itself.

Especially after gaining a grandmaster-level expert, they did not extend their reach into the inner regions of Nanji. In just over a decade, they had controlled both Maomen and Jiangming, two small cities, coming close to the edge of Mu Family’s influence, one of the Dragon State’s Seven Great Families.

Facing an established Dragon State family, the Xu Clan stayed rational and remained quiet for a long time.

It wasn’t until friction occurred between the Evil King Palace and the Longxi Alliance that the Xu Clan sensed another rare opportunity, setting their sights on Longxi’s southwest by the river. Fearing that their family’s power alone would not catch Longxi’s attention, they also allied with Chengzhou’s Li Family and Chuanyuan’s Niu Family.

The three families that sent envoys were well aware of their strengths, for intelligence indicated that most of Longxi Alliance’s top experts were engaged in the standoff with the Evil King Palace.

But who could have expected that Tang Luo would quietly return to Longxi and even brazenly issue a challenge to the old grandmaster of the Xu Family!
