Chapter 1390 - Chapter 1390 Chapter 681 The Heart of a Fierce Tiger

Chapter 1390: Chapter 681: The Heart of a Fierce Tiger Chapter 1390: Chapter 681: The Heart of a Fierce Tiger “At least the pain wasn’t in vain…”

Having listened to Yun Xiu’s narrative, Tang Luo silently mused.

If it had been before, Yun Ji would have only had to say a word and this girl would have followed him without a second thought, wouldn’t have taken the time to consult with me.

Now, that she managed to hold it in and come back to discuss it with me, this already counts as a far-reaching improvement, offering great comfort.

In matters of the heart, things are mostly like this, as long as the other person demonstrates their importance and care, that’s enough to make one act foolishly.

Regarding those arrogant Yun Clan members, Tang Luo didn’t actually have an opinion; his reason for coming to Chengzhou was because of Yun Xiu.

The fall of the Yun Family didn’t matter, but Yun Xiu was important, maybe this was love by association.

“What do you think?”

Yun Xiu nodded and bowed her head like a child who had done wrong, staring at her toes and stammered, “I think… I think I can’t do it well. Now that Cao Jinyu is dead and Hanging Sky City has also fallen, the Yun Family has avenged their grudge, so the Yun Clan may finally have a peaceful life.”

“If you really think that way, then the position of the Clan Head certainly has to be accepted without exception.”

“Why?”

“Because those who claim to be of the Hawk Faction in the Yun Clan have already been scared out of their wits.”

Tang Luo shrugged and said, “After tasting the disadvantages of abandoning martial arts for commerce, they turned to the other extreme of holding martial arts in high regard. Although the clan seems to be making strides, there is still a great fear lurking within. They practice martial arts and act as Wind Media simultaneously because they fear the calamity of clan extinction may occur again.”

“But you should know, many disasters in the world are unreasonable and lack warning; troubles that ripple across everything can’t be avoided by anyone. Even if the Dutian Heavenly King doesn’t trouble the Yun Family anymore, they will still fall into boundless fear and crave power. This craving for power is the very cause of calamity.”

“So, what shall be done?”

Yun Xiu raised her head, her eyes a bit lost and pained.

“Hmm, what to do can be thought about later; there’s plenty of time for that.”

Tang Luo spread his hands, his expression relaxed, “What’s most important right now is how to make your big uncle’s plan succeed. The current Chengzhou’s noble families are treating Longyuan as if it’s already in their pocket, under the lead of that fierce tiger, they even dare to confront a king inspector. If it continues to develop this way, by the time the Realm Heart of Longyuan can absorb freely drifting Spiritual Power again, the sects of Longzhou will have arrived.”

“Evil King Palace, Wuji Mansion, Yulin Pavilion, these sects won’t fail to detect the awkward message transmitted throughout the land, but the situation is about to change. The Minor Spiritual Realm can be constructed as a shelter; even if they are aware there are some issues, they will pinch their noses and come. Once the elites of those sects arrive, neither Chengzhou nor the king inspectors will have any opportunity left.”

“And no one can anticipate the methods of the sects; if they have any means to determine and divide territories, then your brother’s design would be completely in vain.”

Yun Xiu nodded, “So we need to think of a way to let these obstinate and unyielding powerhouses enter Longyuan, right?”

“Correct, but some arrangements must be made in advance.”

Tang Luo smiled at Yun Xiu, “You go back into Longyuan again, take all the Yun Family members who are in the ‘unity of spirit and intent’ state, and bring them all out using Cloud Veil Body Painting.”

“Unity of spirit and intent?”

“Since you’re going to be the Yun Clan Head, you need some loyal followers from your own clan. Once these people have completed the deification plan, you’ll have the foundation to speak within the clan. Then, distribute power and focus on development for a few decades; the Yun Clan will stabilize.”

Tang Luo raised his hands over his shoulders, laughing, “As for where to take the Yun Clan in the end, that depends on the wife’s plan. But no matter what decision, your husband will support you unconditionally.”

Diancang Mountain

The elite troops from the Fire Department that had come to the rescue greatly boosted the morale of his Royal Inspectors, dealing a blow to the spirits of the Chengzhou side.

But this advantage was leveled off after the Jiang Unit and Dou Department joined, not to mention the presence of a fierce tiger by their side, which could, with an unexpected slash of tiger-roar saber light, cause casualties to his Royal Inspectors.

The goal of the Fire Department was to take back the Boundary Breaking Stone from Longyuan, in hopes to secure their position for patrolling the heavens. Under this premise,

the Garrison Commanders wished for nothing more than for others to confront Ning Bufu, and then they would seize the opportunity to enter the Realm Heart.

As a result of the strong refraining from stepping forward, the reinforcement troops unwittingly squandered the advantage they had just managed to establish.

Naturally, the Garrison Commanders were anxious, but despite their anxiety, taking the lead was out of the question.

Both sides returned to a strange stalemate, fiercely confronting each other with the Spirit Realm Gate as the epicenter.

However, there was a tinge more grief and anger in the expressions on the Chengzhou side, whereas the expressions on the Royal Inspectors side remained unchanged, even after losing a Garrison Commander.

After all, the Chengzhou side fought as family units, with many father-son and brother pairs joining the battle together, so casualties brought sorrow.

Whereas the elite troops of the Royal Inspectors’ Fire Department were recruited soldiers who joined the Royal Inspectors and lacked camaraderie among themselves.

Even their so-called battle squads were hastily assembled based on Spiritual Power attributes just for the sake of mastering Combined Attack Techniques.

Therefore, even if they suffered greater losses, their morale did not waver significantly.

But through the eyes of the Chengzhou people, the fact that the Royal Inspectors could still maintain such an ironclad and solemn demeanor despite even heavier casualties signaled their determination to fight to the death.

After all, Chengzhou was in decline in terms of talent, with almost all the notable experts gathered at Diancang Mountain, yet their venerated clan Martial Ancestors were only able to match the ordinary elites of the Royal Inspectors.

They had clansmen behind them, facing such determined warriors who would not retreat even in the face of death, their morale fell short by a notch.

Especially those units that suffered the most in the great battle were already harboring thoughts of retreat.

“Head of Ning Family, both the Jiang Unit and Peng Unit report heavy casualties. The heads of both families have asked me to convey their wish to withdraw from the battle at Diancang Mountain.”

Mo Yuju approached Ning Bufu at the frontline without betraying any emotion and spoke softly, “Right now, only the Royal Inspectors’ Fire Department has come, but they have already overwhelmed us. If the other four departments also join the battle at Diancang Mountain, our defeat is inevitable, and we need to plan ahead.”

“Head of Mo Family, you and I both know that the nation’s treasures and the Human King’s legacy are nothing but tall tales. The only thing precious here in Diancang Mountain is the Minor Spiritual Realm of Longyuan.”

Ning Bufu, gazing at the mountaintop occupied by the Royal Inspectors’ elites, said indifferently, “The Dutian Heavenly King is here for the Minor Spiritual Realm, and so is Longxi’s Pride, and I believe it won’t be long before the powerful of the Longxi Alliance and the elite factions of Longzhou will follow.”

Mo Yuju’s expression shifted slightly, because in the future as described by Ning Bufu, he saw no chance for Chengzhou.

“Chengzhou has always been the weakest in Longzhou, never having a chance!”

Ning Bufu said coolly, “But being the weakest doesn’t mean we should hand over the treasure without a fight. Since the Spirit Realm Gate has opened in Diancang Mountain, it represents our last opportunity before things change completely. I’m aware that each Chengzhou clan has yet to deploy their hidden, powerful experts, merely hoping that in case of a dire situation, they could still preserve a fraction of their clan’s primary qi and vitality.”
