Chapter 1369 - Chapter 1369 Chapter 661 Confession

Chapter 1369: Chapter 661: Confession Chapter 1369: Chapter 661: Confession There would no longer be any hiding of talents or biding of time; the competition at the twenty-second Martial Arts Conference was bound to be unprecedentedly fierce.

Whether it was those inner sect disciples of the sects who were originally too proud to participate in exchanges or those geniuses from noble families who felt the timing was still not ripe.

Upon learning that the Martial Arts Conference was about to be discontinued, everyone could no longer hold back and wanted to catch this last ride.

Because everyone was clear that human memory is limited, most of the time only able to remember the first and the last.

The title of champion of the Longzhou Youth Martial Arts Conference had already been missed initially, and the last one, must not be missed.

Whether they saw some chance for themselves or were unwilling to remain ordinary, they all wanted to pluck this last fairy peach from the history of Longzhou martial arts and achieve fame in one battle.

So, the caravans that usually headed for Kunwu County in June or July began their preparations as early as February.

Compared to the previous twenty-one sessions, the biggest feature of this grand event was the large number of participants.

Some enthusiastic media dubbed this session as the strongest and final grand finale.

In response, Tang Luo expressed that these media people did not seem to have good brains.

“Martial artists need time to grow. In a generation, there are only so many who are exceptionally talented; having more mediocrities only serves as a foil and lowers the standard, yet they think they are stronger? That’s really enough.”

Setting aside the brief report sent by the media, Tang Luo said indifferently to Xu Chengyuan, who had come to Aran Mountain to seek an audience, “Don’t let these messages affect you. As long as you can smoothly apply the Sword Fusion Technique in actual combat, regardless of which session it is, it’s a stage for making a name for yourself. Those mediocre people are just trumpets spreading fame, don’t mind them.”

“Chengyuan’s visit this time is not out of worry about this matter, but to thank the prodigy for his guidance, and also… also….”

Xu Chengyuan gritted his teeth and still decided to tell the truth, “Actually, Chengyuan’s visit to Longzhou this time is not just for Junior Sister Nuan Nuan, but also for another mission!”

“A mission?”

Tang Luo scratched his head. According to the news from the media, this guy had been practicing swordsmanship for the past two years, and suddenly today, he said he had a mission. Does he have a poor memory?

Seeing Tang Luo’s utterly confused expression, Xu Chengyuan took out the Sword Command Jade Plate from his chest and said earnestly, “It’s from the son of the Divine Sword of Yuanzhou, the commander of the Dongshan City guard, Xu Lai sent me to Longzhou to find out… to find out Yun Xiu’s cultivation level! If she has achieved the Fierce Realm, it would mean it’s related to the death of the Divine Sword, instructing me to activate the Sword Command and imprint it on Yun Xiu!”

It was silent, so silent that not even a breath could be heard.

Tang Luo’s face turned iron blue. He thought that with the honesty of the Xu Clan swordsmen, since Xu Xiao had exchanged his life, the vendetta for the destruction of the Yun Family should have had a perfect ending.

Yet he hadn’t expected Xu Xiao’s son to still harbor a grudge and fancifully think that Charming Eyes could influence a strong person to that extent.

Thinking back to the outing two years ago, all the women were inside the carriage. If Xu Chengyuan had really activated the Sword Command…

“Thank you!” Tang Luo said softly, his heart trembling, “Thank you for not activating the Sword Command, and even more, thank you for telling me this information!”

“Chengyuan harbors ulterior motives, how could he deserve the gratitude of the prodigy? Stating this matter outright is also because he feels guilt in his heart.”

Xu Chengyuan shook his head and said, “Xu Lai no longer cares about the truth now, he just wants to kill Yun Xiu to make amends for the Divine Sword. As long as the Sword Command is not issued, he will not be at peace…”

Taking the Sword Command Jade Plate from Xu Chengyuan’s hands, Tang Luo flipped it over twice and asked casually, “Does Xu Lai usually reside in Dongshan City?”

“Yes, he is the commander of the Dongshan City guard and the head of the Hunyuan Sword Pavilion, with strategies reaching the heavens and exquisite swordsmanship, not to be confronted by force.”

Hearing the murderous intent in Tang Luo’s words, Xu Chengyuan quickly advised, “I implore you not to act impulsively, Young Master. The Divine Sword Army has already expressed considerable dissatisfaction with the death of our esteemed Senior Xu Xiao. If you were to conflict with the commander, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

“Thank you for the reminder, I will certainly be careful about this matter,” he replied.

Tang Luo responded with a nod, carefully placing the jade plate into his chest pocket.

Watching the other party carefully store away the Sword Command, Xu Chengyuan breathed a sigh of relief and deeply bowed, “I have been burdened by this issue for a long time, and after opening up today, I finally feel relieved. However, I really cannot stay in Longxi any longer, so I plan to leave for Kunwu County soon.”

“Do not fret. Xu Lai is ultimately your kinsman, and the Tang Clan just in-laws. What you have already done is enough,” Tang Luo said gravely.

“I won’t mention the matter of the Sword Command to my mother or Nuan Nuan, so you needn’t worry about it either, and just interact as we did before. As for your trip to Kunwu County, I support your decision. Given the statement from Martial Saint Mountain, this Martial Arts Conference is in disarray. If you follow the previous tempo for registration and participation, there might be some mishaps; it’s better to go earlier. But you will have to explain your departure to your mother and Nuan Nuan yourself. I’m not in a position to do that.”

“This…” Thinking of Shuhui, who treated him like her own child, Xu Chengyuan felt extremely conflicted, but finally gritted his teeth and said, “Chengyuan thanks the Young Master for his generosity,” he said.

Feeling guilty, Xu Chengyuan did not wish to stay in Yunluo Garden any longer. After saying his farewells, he turned and left.

Yun Xiu also timely walked from the back garden to the front hall to see her husband sitting dumbfounded in a chair and said with a smile, “Where kindness is given, kindness is received. Thankfully, mother-in-law treated me well, otherwise this Sword Command might have ended up marked on me. Now that everything is resolved, why are you still wearing such a sad face?”

“Because I suddenly realized… I too can feel fear,”

Tang Luo said seriously as he held Yun Xiu’s hand against his face.

“Isn’t it normal to feel fear? Everyone feels afraid,”

Yun Xiu said tenderly as she gently stroked Tang Luo’s cheek.

“No, before, I would not feel fear, no matter what I faced,”

Tang Luo said with his eyes closed, holding Yun Xiu’s hand against his face, admitting with fear, “But just now, I was really scared, very scared!”

“Don’t be afraid, let me hold you!”

Yun Xiu said with a smile as she moved into Tang Luo’s arms and hugged her tall husband back, softly saying, “My lord has achieved Martial Arts Divinity. Even if Xu Chengyuan really activates the Sword Command, you could surely withstand it, couldn’t you? That’s why I am not afraid at all.”

Tang Luo managed a weak smile and then pulled Yun Xiu tightly into his embrace, as if trying to merge her into his body.

If he could withstand it, why be afraid at all…

…

The Great Thousand World is not a single entity but a jigsaw of countless spaces.

In these joins are rife with cracks, and to rip open these cracks is to enter the Endless Void.

This land of Central Earth is a space enveloped by the Endless Void, initially wrapped in a twisted and chaotic manner.

In this chaotic void, drift spaces, both shattered and intact. They are drawn to the stable land of Central Earth, merge into the turbulence, and ultimately choose a crack to anchor themselves to.

The Minor Spiritual Realm of Longyuan, after drifting for years, once again approached the land of Central Earth through the turbulence and crashed into the vast spatial crack.
