I Can See Your Combat Power
Chapter 1418 - Chapter 1418 Chapter 696 Surprise

Chapter 1418: Chapter 696: Surprise Chapter 1418: Chapter 696: Surprise Petals drift willingly with the flowing water, but the water holds no affection for the falling petals.

Emotions and relationships are never a simple matter of give and receive; often, fate is more critical than effort.

If the timing and location were right, Tang Luo might have had the opportunity to sit down and discuss matters with Tong Wuxie.

Yet it happened in Chengzhou, on Diancang Mountain, right in front of Longyuan.

Receiving the jade token, Tang Luo understood that Tong Wuxie was certain of their destined master-apprentice bond and had thus expressed his protective feelings early.

Compared to opposition, Tang Luo feared this type of unrequited kindness more because he knew he could not reciprocate it, which was frustrating.

After showing off, Tong Wuxie left with Xiao Jinlin, leaving Tang Luo no chance to refuse.

The irritation grew stronger, and with the murmurs and amazed remarks of the onlookers on the mountain adding to his displeasure, Tang Luo felt even more annoyed.

The furious pride of Longxi needed an outlet, and clutching the token, he roared:

“What are you looking at? Get out of Diancang Mountain, or else when the Wuji Guards arrive, I’ll have you all killed and scatter your ashes!”

With the irritable pride driving the eviction, the two major powers dared not speak out and could only leave Diancang Mountain with gritted teeth.

After venting, Tang Luo felt much better. He looked at the token in his hand, shook his head helplessly, then tucked it into his chest, muttering:

“In light of this kindness, I won’t trouble the Wuji Guards when they arrive later!”

“What are you mumbling about by yourself?”

Just then, Yun Xiu came out from Longyuan and playfully slapped her husband’s broad back, asking, “Am I amazing for coming out so soon?”

“Amazing, indeed!”

Tucking the token into his Eight Treasure Kasaya, Tang Luo smiled and turned around.

Looking at the “unscathed” Yun Xiu, Tang Luo nodded in satisfaction and praised, “Good job, have the folks from the Fire Department been dealt with?”

“With a calculated mind versus an unprepared one, and with a Divine Artifact in hand, naturally, they were dealt with! The Realm Heart Stone’s Spiritual Power has mostly recovered. Master Liu is preparing for the second drift; it should be activated in an hour or two.”

Brushing off the battle in Longyuan, Yun Xiu reported the internal situation to Tang Luo, then casually looked around and curiously asked, “What about the rest of the people on Diancang Mountain?”

“They all ran away.”

Tang Luo shrugged and casually replied.

“Wow, my husband is so impressive!”

Yun Xiu clasped her hands at her chest, her eyes twinkling with admiration as she exclaimed exaggeratedly.

“Hmph, needless to say!”

Tang Luo proudly raised his head, wholly taking credit for driving the people away.

Just as he was about to boast further, his brow furrowed slightly, then he said to Yun Xiu, “Someone is coming; you should leave first!”

Although Yun Xiu appeared relaxed, Tang Luo could see that her state of Spiritual Power was not good, and even her unscathed appearance was a pretense.

In such a condition, Tang Luo naturally did not want Yun Xiu to be involved in any more conflicts, so he instructed, “There are quite a few people coming; they will surely search the mountain. Hurry and hide the tribespeople you brought out from Longyuan; don’t let them be discovered.”

“What about you…”

“Leave this to me.”

Tang Luo declared proudly, “No matter who comes, I can hold them off for two hours; don’t worry.”

“Hmm…”

Out of trust in her husband, Yun Xiu nodded, yet she couldn’t help feeling worried and softly cautioned, “Be very careful, and don’t force yourself if it’s truly dangerous.”

“I know, now hurry on.”

Tang Luo smiled and affectionately patted Yun Xiu’s head.

Although he had already sent Tang Bin back to Longxi to summon help, the alliance of aristocratic families was not structured like the sects.

In aristocratic families, the strong had to bear more responsibilities. Each had their designated role, and such sudden call-to-arms disrupted many plans. Some strong individuals might be on missions or in seclusion, making such hurried mobilizations exceedingly slow.

The reason Tang Luo sent Yun Xiu away was that he had discerned that the two approaching forces were not from Longxi.

Judging from their directions, those coming from the east must be Wuji Mansion’s people, while those from the south should belong to the Evil King Palace.

As Tang Luo was grappling with his predicament and helplessness, Wuji Mansion made its entrance from the east, dozens of people dressed uniformly in formal Spiritual Armor, led by two strong individuals not only possessing Spiritual Power exceeding ninety thousand points but also wearing clearly superior quality armor.

This must be the Wuji Guards, Tang Luo deduced the identities of the newcomers, and just as he was about to speak, a haughty laugh came from the south.

“Tong Zhenshan, Tong Zhenhai, if it’s just the two of you brothers leading the team here today, then this Minor Spiritual Realm shall be taken by the Evil King Palace!”

The speaker was Young Palace Master Duan Longcheng from the Evil King Palace, and as factions both based in Longzhou, the Wuji Mansion and the Evil King Palace could be considered old acquaintances.

Enemies know you best, especially equally matched and competitive rivals. Seeing only the deputy chiefs of the Wuji Guards on the opposite side, Duan Longcheng was naturally overjoyed.

Because leading the Evil King Palace’s team this time, besides him, an aristocratic powerhouse, was also Grandmaster Duan Siping.

In this small-scale combat, the role of a master would be maximized, and having absolute suppressive power at the two strongest points would surely constitute a resounding victory.
