Chapter 1422: Chapter 698: The Nemesis of the Evil King Palace (Two in One) Chapter 1422: Chapter 698: The Nemesis of the Evil King Palace (Two in One) “Tang Luo? Shouldn’t you be in Kunwu participating in this year’s martial arts tournament? How did you end up on Diancang Mountain?”

Duan Longcheng, startled by the conversation, sized up the burly man with a frown and asked in return.

By convention, seeing a man of uncommon stature and a clean, handsome face, one should believe the person before them is Tang Luo.

But the Yun Family’s disguise technique could thoroughly confuse reality, and with the Eight Treasure Kasaya and Ghostly Cloud Lock being so deceptive, it was truly hard to trust easily.

Faced with the suspicion, Tang Luo did not hesitate, immediately producing the Innate Yin-Yang Grinder. The black and white millstones began to rotate slowly as they were leveraged by the innate pillars of energy.

Looking at the Divine Storage unique to Xiehe, the masters of the Evil King Palace did not have good expressions.

For a sect that exclusively practiced the Mimicry Technique, the existence of the Yin-Yang Grinder was like a sword hanging above their heads, an instinctive repulsion.

With so many ways to prove oneself, yet he chose the one most painful for the Evil King Palace, which made the already tense atmosphere even heavier.

Yet, Tang Luo didn’t care. He nonchalantly withdrew the Yin-Yang Grinder and, standing there unabashedly, said to Duan Longcheng, “I believe this is sufficient to prove my identity.”

“It seems the favored warrior has gained no small fortune from this trip to Longyuan.”

Duan Longcheng offered a bland pleasantry, “The Eight Treasure Kasaya and the Ghostly Cloud Lock are Divine Artifacts, forged by the Yun Family’s patriarch capturing natural treasures and using a unique refining technique. Truly enviable.”

“Oh, not at all.”

Tang Luo politely waved his hand and said, “They are but external possessions, not worth mentioning.”

“Now that you’ve acquired precious treasures, the favored warrior should hurry back to Longxi. After all, carrying such treasures can inevitably attract petty thieves, especially in a desolate and dangerous place like Chengzhou.”

Duan Longcheng kindly reminded, “If I were the favored warrior, I would set off immediately.”

“I can’t leave, though.”

Tang Luo shrugged and spread his hands helplessly, “I still have to guard the gate, to prevent any small fry from stealing the situation that the young master has worked hard to secure.”

Duan Longcheng, who was about to lead his men into Longyuan upon concluding the conversation, was stunned, and then understood why Tang Luo was blocking the way in front of the Spirit Realm Gate.

“What a big appetite the favored warrior has!”

But Duan Longcheng wasn’t angry, only finding it somewhat amusing, “Not content with Divine Artifacts, you even wish to take away the Minor Spiritual Realm?”

Duan Longcheng didn’t doubt that the Longxi Alliance had the strength to dominate Longyuan- and overwhelm the Yun Family- but when it came to controlling the Minor Spiritual Realm, that was certainly hitting the Longxi Alliance’s blind spot.

Due to their hostile relationship, the Tang Clan had their foundation thoroughly dug out by the Evil King Palace, descendants of the pioneers, and mud-legged merchants who had risen to prominence along the coast.

Inexplicably, after the great disaster in Longzhou, they transformed and became the most powerful force in the western region.

But after all, they had started too late and their accumulation was too shallow. Even if they acquired legacies from several Boundary Masters, there were no spare Minor Spiritual Realms left in the world for the Tang Clan to study.

For the esoteric study of the Spirit Realm, such knowledge that only stays in theory is useless.

Just like what Tang Luo was doing now, guarding in front of the Spirit Realm Gate as if it were completely safe, not realizing that the core of the Minor Spiritual Realm inside, the Realm Heart Stone, was crucial. Such an oversight was rather amusing, and Duan Longcheng naturally had no intention of correcting him.

Instead, he said with a smile, “First come, first served is indeed fair, but the favored warrior ought to understand that those who dine alone will provoke retaliation. So please step aside.”

“Of course I understand, but the Young Palace Master is a step too late.”

Tang Luo sighed with regret, “After acquiring two Divine Artifacts, the young master already allowed a group under the supervision of the Dutian Heavenly King to enter, and they’ve promised to share five-tenths of whatever they find. If I let the Young Palace Master and the others in now, wouldn’t I be a dishonorable person?”

His tone was even, but the refusal was clear to anyone who heard it. Duan Longcheng’s face darkened with his already upset mood, and he coldly said, “What if the Evil King Palace insists on entering?”

“Such an action would put me in a difficult position, Young Palace Master.”

Tang Luo frowned and said, “The Longxi Alliance and the Evil King Palace have just signed a non-aggression pact, the ink on this oath isn’t even dry yet, and you are already starting a conflict?”

“The content of the peace talks specifies that the Evil King Palace and the Longxi Alliance do not infringe on each other’s territories and stop disputes, but the struggle for the Spirit Realm is not included in the treaty.”

Duan Longcheng said coldly, “If the favored warrior doesn’t make way, don’t blame our palace for disrespect.”

“Hahaha! So the struggle for the Spirit Realm isn’t covered by the peace terms? Why didn’t the Young Palace Master say so earlier!”

Hearing Duan Longcheng’s words, Tang Luo’s reaction was not one of shock but elation. His arms fully spiritualized and he vigorously threw out the Ghostly Cloud Lock in his hands. The whistling chains cleaved through the Primary Qi, slashing towards the waists of the people from the Evil King Palace.

Who would have thought that Tang Luo would actually make the first move? Duan Longcheng was taken aback, and then the whip slashed at his waist, shattering the standard outer robe and revealing the protective silver scale armor beneath.

“Snap!”

Though the armor withstood the direct damage, the force of the strike was so great that it still pushed Duan Longcheng sideways, his feet plowing through the earth for more than ten yards before he was barely able to steady himself.

Regaining his senses, Duan Longcheng was furious and was about to summon the Red-eyed Evil Dragon, but he held back.

While the fierce beast’s spirit was the best support for the warriors of the Evil King Palace, it depended on who they were up against. In a fight with Tang Luo, it was natural to avoid using the spirit soul if possible, especially since the appearance of the Innate Yin-Yang Grinder earlier, the spirit soul’s cries were all too real.

It was better to attack Tang Luo with ordinary methods, just like the rest of the Evil King Palace masters were doing now.
