Chapter 1411 - Chapter 1411 Chapter 692 Master of Wuji_2

Chapter 1411: Chapter 692: Master of Wuji_2 Chapter 1411: Chapter 692: Master of Wuji_2 Even the warriors who saw the opponent’s master conceal himself did not slip through.

Merely by this move, everyone understood that the Wuji Grandmaster’s control over the battlefield was shockingly strong.

And behind him was the entire cohort of the Wuji Guards, it looked like, this trip to Diancang Mountain could only come to an end here.

Some Chengzhou families sighed helplessly, gathering their defeated troops and leaving without turning back.

But there were also some who still stayed put, not thinking of competing with the two major sects of Longzhou.

Instead, they wanted to see if Tang Luo could still be as arrogant and domineering as he had just been after the appearance of the Wuji Grandmaster!

“Longxi’s Pride, what do we do now?”

Seeing the Wuji Mansion’s Grandmaster appear, Cao Ziqi, frowning, approached Tang Luo and asked in a low voice, “With Tong Wuxie here, the Wuji Guards won’t be far, and by that account, the people from Evil King Palace should be arriving too. The thing inside Longyuan…”

“What’s there to panic about?”

Tang Luo, with his arms crossed and an unchanged expression, indifferently replied, “Let him come, we’ll do our part, don’t worry, when the sky falls, the tall will hold it up.”

“With those words from Longxi’s Pride, Ziqi is reassured.”

With a meaningful smile, Cao Ziqi returned to the side of the two governors from the Fire Department and silently communicated to Lei Dingbo, “The people from Wuji Mansion and Evil King Palace will arrive soon. With them here, we stand no chance of taking the Realm Heart Stone from Longyuan away! Facing both sects at once is a task that surpasses the limits of what the Fire Department can do, immediately send a message back to Zhongzhou so the Star Lord can be informed of the situation here.”

As a fellow governor, Cao Ziqi had no right to command Lei Dingbo, but he still used a tone akin to an order.

Not only because the situation was urgent, but also because Cao Ziqi needed an immediate response.

He had already given up hope on the object inside Longyuan, but he wanted it all from outside Longyuan.

Lei Dingbo, though not particularly intelligent, could roughly understand the purpose behind Cao Ziqi’s silent communication.

After pondering for a long moment, the former Donghai Path responded through silent transmission with gritted teeth, “Young Master Cao’s command is honored!”

Having succeeded, an internally exultant Cao Ziqi still kept his composed and leisurely demeanor, gesturing elegantly, “Hurry along now.”

Watching Lei Dingbo discreetly leave Diancang Mountain, Cao Ziqi’s eyes were filled with excitement.

Even if nothing was gained from entering Longyuan, Zhu Wushen be damned, because he had already taken firm control of the entire Fire Department.

As Lei Dingbo and the other nodded, Cao Ziqi essentially became the crownless real king within the territories supervised by the Dutian Heavenly King.

Standing in front of the Spirit Realm Gate, Tang Luo, who had heard every word exchanged between Cao Ziqi and Lei Dingbo, looked rather displeased.

Having been through the Dutian Sky Mirror himself, he naturally understood that there was an array set up especially for the rapid transmission of messages.

If Lei Dingbo’s message were to be sent too quickly and Qionghua Star Lord placed supreme importance on obtaining the Spirit Realm of Longyuan the complications could be substantial.

So right now, the most important thing was not to let the people from Wuji Mansion and Evil King Palace affect those who were already inside.

“Hurry and deal with those from the Fire Department, we don’t have much time!”

Internally cheering for Yun Xiu, Tang Luo, with his arms folded, had already made up his mind.

The Wuji Mansion’s Grandmaster issued a stern warning to the warriors of Diancang Mountain, and some of the lingering warriors departed, but the majority seemed to have no intention of leaving.

Tong Wuxie couldn’t quite understand this outcome.

In his mind, it was almost natural for the families to yield to the sects.

He was merely being polite in issuing a warning to give them a way out.

After all, how could the families, who still considered combined attacks as their strongest tactic, possibly contend with sects that had advanced to the next Martial Arts Realm?

Tong Wuxie had no desire to pay attention to the overconfident “powerful ones” who put too much faith in the equivalence of realm to combat strength.

Sects dealt with plenty of such so-called “powerhouses” every year.

Having said all that needed to be said, once a clash with Evil King Palace began, these people would naturally see the clear gap and flee in panic, without exception.

With a nonchalant air, he landed in the center of the battlefield, disregarding the gazes of the crowd, and walked straight toward the Spirit Realm Gate, only to be stopped by a thick arm wrapped in the Ghostly Cloud Lock.

The watching crowd stirred, none having expected Tang Luo to be so bold, showing not the slightest deference even in the face of the Grandmaster of Wuji Mansion.

Tang Luo had risen to power just as Tong Wuxie had been in seclusion. Having only heard of Tang Luo after emerging, he knew that Longxi’s Pride was the youngest ever to come from the Fierce Realm, but he knew only the name, and not the person.

Thus, Tong Wuxie couldn’t recognize Tang Luo. However, he did recognize the Ghostly Cloud Lock coiled around Tang Luo’s arm and the Eight Treasure Kasaya.

These divine artifacts, taken from the Xiang Family by the Unparalleled Grandmaster, should have ultimately been returned to the Yun Clan.

“Are you a descendant of the Yun Family? Is this Longyuan Spirit Realm not unclaimed?”

When intercepted, Tong Wuxie didn’t get angry. Instead, he took a step back and calmly inquired to Tang Luo.

Tang Luo lowered his hand and clasped his fist in a salute to Tong Wuxie, “Tang Luo, I have seen the Wuji Grandmaster.”

Hearing him announce his identity, Tong Wuxie suddenly became interested, “You are Tang Luo? Then why do you have the Eight Treasure Kasaya and the Ghostly Cloud Lock?”

“Merely a reward for a business done,” Tang Luo shrugged casually. “It is said that the Martial Arts Grandmaster went into seclusion to become a king, so what brings you to Diancang Mountain? Are you also coveting the nation’s wealth and the Human King’s heritage?”

“Indeed,” Tong Wuxie laughed openly, “This time, I have come for two reasons: one is to peruse the heritage left by Yun Zu, and the other is for the Longyuan Spirit Realm. As for these heritage divine artifacts of the Yun Family, they are not a must-have for me.”

No one had expected Tong Wuxie to so readily admit his covetousness of the Yun Clan’s possessions, and even Tang Luo was taken aback, unsure how to reply.

Tang Luo had intended to corner Tong Wuxie with words and, should the opponent cover up, to attack his integrity.

For a master like Tong Wuxie, unless the battle was driven by their True Heart’s desire, their strength would be greatly reduced.

Just as it was years ago in the holy city’s battle between Victorious Venerable Liaoyin and Dutian Heavenly King–with Liaoyin’s True Heart not wishing to protect the Feitian Clan, naturally, he would not fight to the death for them, and should the battle turn unfavorable, he would leave and retreat.

It had been assumed that Tong Wuxie was driven by coercion from Wuji Mansion to come to Diancang Mountain, but from the current situation.

It seemed likely that he had volunteered to come, hence his being the first to arrive.

Considering his remarkable track record, Tang Luo frowned slightly, feeling it was somewhat tricky.

After answering Tang Luo’s question, Tong Wuxie, with hands clasped behind his back, chuckled lightly, “It seems Young Friend Tang has already garnered enough benefits from the Yun Family, so please, make way.”

Hearing Tong Wuxie’s words, the onlooking crowd was astounded, never expecting the Wuji Grandmaster to be so courteous even to Tang Luo.

The subtext of his words seemed to show little concern for the divine artifacts in Tang Luo’s possession. Was such benevolence truly the attitude of a sect toward a noble family?

If even the sects were unwilling to make an enemy of this man, then was the humiliation they faced in Diancang Mountain today going to be left unaddressed forever?

With such thoughts, a wave of sadness overcame them, feeling it was a great misfortune to live in the same era as Tang Luo.

“Forget it, let’s go. Even the Wuji Grandmaster has yielded like this, what can we possibly insist on?”

“In the future, if you see Longxi’s Pride, just take another path. He… is not like us.”

Feeling desolate, they left with heavy hearts. Tong Wuxie hadn’t expected that just a few words with Tang Luo would cause such a disturbance.

What was more amusing was their interpretation of his behavior. Giving face to Tang Luo wasn’t because he dreaded the youngest Fierce Realm from Xiehe.

Rather, it was due to Wuji Mansion’s strategic plans for the future. The major families of Longzhou were the main targets of their efforts, with Tang Clan, dominating Chuanyuan and ruling over Longzhou West, being of the highest priority.

Extending goodwill to Tang Luo today was in anticipation of establishing a positive foundation for future relations.

But such matters were secrets of Wuji Mansion, and Tong Wuxie naturally wouldn’t speak of them aloud, leaving the other to his wild guesses.

The Wuji Grandmaster, having finished the conversation, smiled at Tang Luo, feeling that he had made his goodwill quite obvious. As long as the other party wasn’t truly foolish, he would surely take the hint and step aside.
