I Can See Your Combat Power
Chapter 1337 - Chapter 1337 Chapter 629 Win-Win

Chapter 1337: Chapter 629: Win-Win Chapter 1337: Chapter 629: Win-Win The trip to Nanji was considered a resounding success, as the Longxi Alliance demonstrated their military prowess to all, proving they could easily obliterate a respected clan despite diverting most of their forces to confront the Evil King Palace.

Moreover, the Nanji Xu Family did not lose either. Grandmaster Xu You, having lain dormant for a long time, once again showed the world what true domination by a grandmaster meant, and although his eventual submission to a young man was contemptible, no one dared to question his formidable cultivation depth.

The Longxi Alliance gained fame by stepping over the Nanji Xu Family, whose warriors, under Xu You’s guidance, learned from their shame and strove for courage after.

There were no losers in this battle as both parties did their best within the allowed limits. In the long run, it might even be argued that the Nanji Xu Family gained more.

But these were other people’s highlights, not to be envied, and Tang Luo was quite satisfied with the outcome.

The initial version of the Fuling Star Domain indeed had the capability to threaten a grandmaster. Had it not been for Xu You’s excessively exceptional abilities, if it had been the Ancestor Xiang Qian of the Xiang Family, he would have been victorious today.

As long as he strengthened the barriers of the Star Domain, this supreme technique would increasingly exhibit astonishing performance in battle. Xu You clearly saw this, which was why he conceded so readily.

Besides Tang Luo’s successful experimentation with Spirit Art, the three accompanying individuals also made a name for themselves in battle.

If the strength of Du Sha, the Stone Heart King, who fought with the heart of stone against ten, and Meng Jiao, the Ugly Yama with his fierce poison techniques, was understandable to the Nanji warriors, the scholar-like figure with a pale face and mastery over Yun Clan’s techniques appeared beyond imagination.

The Spirit Art techniques of the Yun Clan were widely spread in Longzhou, practiced by many families with little heritage to bolster their own scant arsenals.

As more people practiced, the strengths and weaknesses of the Yun Techniques became well-known. The relatively loose structure of their Spirit Art models made them easy to learn, but their lack of power had always been a major flaw.

However, in the hands of that pale-faced young master, the Yun Techniques showed none of these deficiencies.

He faced down the Xu family warriors’ fiery techniques head-on, shattering their Spirit Art, and even his residual power smashed their protective skills and spirit armor.

Though he struck only a few times, each attack caused casualties. The Nanji warriors even privately discussed that even without Stone Heart King Du Sha as a shield, just this pale-faced young master alone could defeat over twenty Xu family warriors.

The mysterious and powerful Master Lingyun, that’s what people called him after the battle.

The desire for beauty is ingrained deeply in human bones, and although Meng Jiao caused more than twice the casualties as Yun Xiu, in terms of fame, it was Yun Xiu’s staged persona that garnered the most recognition.

It even sparked a frenzied pursuit. After the battle, various clans from Nanji dispatched agents from the Wind Media to Longxi, trying to uncover the trio’s backgrounds.

Except for the fact that Stone Heart King originated from the Xu Clan at Red Cloud Mountain in Xiling, the origins of Ugly Yama and Master Lingyun seemed to emerge out of nowhere.

The only information gathered was, both were employed by Marshal Star Pavilion under Tang Luo’s command, which was merely an independent combat division under the Tang Clan.

This discovery alarmed Nanji, who had assumed that the three individuals visiting Jiangyang City were Longxi Alliance’s secret ultimate weapon, only to realize they were mere Star Generals under Longxi’s Pride Tang Luo.

Learning that the warriors of the Marshal Star Pavilion had been selected by Tang Luo from a million refugees in Xiling choked the Wind Media, as no one believed this narrative and considered it a smokescreen by the Tang Clan, leading many Wind Media to stay in Longxi to dig deeper into its secrets.

Wind Media from different parts of Longzhou gathered in Longxi, overwhelming the local Wind Media Department branches, naturally leaving no one to notice a few specific agents from the Outer Continent.

Yuanzhou

Dongshan City

“Master, there is important information from Longzhou, a spy is waiting in the side hall for summons.”

While visualizing the sword soul in the quiet room, Xu Lai opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Bring the person to the main hall!”

The visitor was a spy from the Wind Moon Pavilion in Longzhou, indeed taken over by the Wind Media Organization linked to the Divine Sword Mansion. As a power governing under Longzhou, they were naturally very concerned about the intelligence regarding the Longxi Alliance, and this concern had enabled them to be the first to sort out the information.

Regarding the speculation about the identity of Master Lingyun by the people in Nanji, the Wind Moon Pavilion seemed somewhat certain of his identity.

It was because this Tang Tianjiao had been careless in Unparalleled City and had shown his traces.

Accepting the intelligence analysis from Wind Moon Pavilion, Xu Lai’s expression was filled with gloom, because it contained too much subjective speculation, yet this intelligence was the only piece that marked the whereabouts of Yun Xiu, and some speculations appeared reasonable.

Yun Xiu, who was supposed to be with the Devil Lord Hook Chen, returned to Longzhou Chaochang after falling in Hanging Sky City and met that gifted Longxi’s Pride.

Then, the two got involved, and this naturally passionate Longxi’s Pride even invited this enchantress to Unparalleled City for a joint excursion.

Afterwards, this enchantress stayed at the house of the Sect Head in Lanshan City, no wonder the Wind Media could not find any trace of her.

Had it not been for the incident involving Master Lingyun in the battle of Jiangyang City, the Wind Moon Pavilion would not have linked the two pieces of information together.

And once the conjecture from the Wind Moon Pavilion was correct, Xu Lai would be even more confident in his own speculation.

“I will send someone to verify this information; if the guess of the Wind Moon Pavilion is accurate, then we can take control of Longzhou’s hidden flower, and you may leave now!”

Putting down the documents in his hands, Xu Lai said lightly to the spy from the Wind Moon Pavilion.

After the spy from the Wind Moon Pavilion had retreated with great thanks, the old housekeeper asked Xu Lai, “Master, should I send someone to Lanshan City now?”

“Don’t alert the enemy.”

Xu Lai said gravely, “With Yun Clan’s unparalleled face-changing technique, rashly sending someone would make this enchantress aware of her exposure and hide, then she would never be found again.”

“Then, Master thinks…”

“We must first confirm Yun Xiu’s identity and strength, so the choice of person to send to Longzhou must be made with caution!”

Xu Lai paced back and forth in contemplation, with three males from Tang Sen’s lineage all belonging to Xu Clan relatives who had joined the Divine Sword Mansion in Ying City.

Without conclusive evidence, even he could not force the issue. If Xu Feng had been willing to help, things would have been much easier.

But clearly, the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Saint did not wish for the situation to escalate further, so this matter had to rely on the strength of his own lineage!

Everyone thought Xu Xiao was incredibly strong and could not possibly be exploited by petty forces, but no one considered that after first merging three hundred Sword Commands to display the Chaos Sword Body in the grand battle against Wen Ren Yuanwu’s Divine Sword of Yuanzhou and entering the Dutian Sky Mirror, his Primary Qi had been greatly damaged.

Even the top swordsman from Xu Clan in Fierce Realm, after repelling a Human King and facing the Devil Lord Hook Chen and Fierce Realm’s Yun Xiu, was potentially susceptible to petty forces.

He just didn’t want his father’s death to be confusing and unclear. Why would those uncles, who claimed to have been close with his father, not be willing to help him!
