Chapter 1424: Chapter 699: Senluo Purgatory Chapter 1424: Chapter 699: Senluo Purgatory “The words of this palace are inconsequential here in the presence of Longxi’s Pride!?”

Duan Longcheng’s eyes gleamed with murderous intent, his words laden with fury.

As the Young Palace Master of the Evil King Palace, on many occasions his words represented the will of the Evil King Palace; it was the first time he encountered someone so impervious.

Even actual rival forces had in the past maintained a semblance of dignity and respect between sects.

“Is the Young Palace Master truly ignorant, or are you taking advantage of my young master’s youth?”

Tang Luo flicked out a white silk kerchief from his Void Stomach and carefully wiped the blood from his face, leisurely addressing Duan Longcheng, “Everyone present must be itching to tear me to shreds by now…”

Patting his belly, Tang Luo smirked slyly, “The only thing that makes you apprehensive is the beast spirits of some two dozen Evil King Palace experts. If I really were to give them back to the Young Palace Master, I’m afraid it would be hard to find another means to control all of you.”

His inner thoughts blatantly revealed, Duan Longcheng’s face darkened severely.

Although he had long known that Tang Luo’s Yin-Yang Grinding was the bane of the Mimicry Technique, the last time the Yin-Yang Grinding had appeared, it was when the demons of Beimang rampaged.

Lacking information on the actual effects of Yin-Yang Grinding on spiritual souls, Duan Longcheng had seen clearly through the fleeting skirmish. Tang Luo must die, and the Yin-Yang Grinding must disappear, or else there would be no peace for the Evil King Palace.

If Tang Luo had truly been willing to believe him just now and released the captured spiritual souls, then he would have immediately ordered his execution; but now…

Could this boy possibly see through the desires of this palace’s heart?

The atmosphere of the stand-off grew tense, Duan Longcheng’s brows furrowed tightly, as if calculating some complex problem, his face filled with struggle.

After a long while, he exhaled a breath of foul air and said coldly, “Speak, what will it take for you to release the beast spirits?”

Tang Luo looked up at the poison clouds that blotted out the sky and shook his head, “Given the current situation, I definitely cannot release them.”

“Do you understand that you are playing with fire?”

Duan Longcheng’s face darkened as he spoke, “The patience of this palace, is limited.”

“Hey, as if I’m renowned for my patience.”

Tang Luo laughed and waved his hand as he drew the bloodstained kerchief back into his Void Stomach, “The situation is already as bad as it gets, how can it be worse?”

“Sometimes a person might feel they are prepared to face the worst outcome, but those consequences they believe they can bear will crush them. Do you know why, Longxi’s Pride?”

Duan Longcheng’s eyes turned a fierce red as he stared at Tang Luo, “Because reality always turns out worse than the worst scenario one can imagine.”

His Evil Pupil turned red but the Yellow Dragon was not seen; Tang Luo knew Duan Longcheng was threatening him in a covert manner.

And the so-called worst outcome was nothing but his vaguely recognizing the scent of blood.

Taking this injury, was really untimely.

Shaking his head reluctantly with a smile, Tang Luo gave Duan Longcheng a thumbs-up, “I must admit, Young Palace Master, you scared me. I have been timid since childhood, easily driven to irrational acts when frightened. Please be careful.”

“If Longxi’s Pride is timid, then there would be no bold ones left in Xiehe.”

Duan Longcheng smiled as if he had the winning hand, “How about we each take a step back and negotiate properly?”

“The Young Palace Master is, of course, able to advance or retreat as he pleases.”

Tang Luo laughed, “But all around me and behind me, there’s nothing left but cliffs and steep ledges.”

“Someone like Longxi’s Pride will always have a way out.”

Duan Longcheng continued to smile smugly, then ordered the Evil King Palace’s followers, “Everyone retreat from the mountain area. Without my order, not even an ant is allowed to enter.”

The cleverly veiled conversation between Duan Longcheng and Tang Luo was completely lost on the masters of Evil King Palace.

They did not understand why the tense atmosphere had eased but they vaguely felt that the rhythm of the dialogue was in the hands of their Young Palace Master, so without useless chatter, they followed orders, dispersing to various mountaintops to stand guard and set up formations.

Moments later, Tang Luo and Duan Longcheng were left alone in the heart of Diancang Mountain.

The Young Palace Master of the Evil King Palace let go of the red glow in his eyes and chuckled lightly, “If we are going to talk, we should at least have proper titles. I’m not sure if I should address you as Longxi’s Pride or as the Devil Lord Hook Chen.”

“Young Palace Master–if we are to talk, let’s talk properly without beating around the bush. Let that not make you unlikeable.”

Tang Luo curled his lip, “As for titles, call me whatever you please.”

“Master Tang is truly frank, to an alarming degree.”

Duan Longcheng raised his eyebrows, expressing his admiration.

“Even if I denied it, the Young Palace Master wouldn’t believe me.”

Tang Luo shrugged, “Considering we each have something on the other, why don’t we negotiate a mutually acceptable arrangement?”

“No wonder in just a few short years you’ve made such an impact. The breadth of vision and courage of Longxi’s Pride, this palace truly admires.”

Duan Longcheng clasped his hands behind his back, nodded with a slight smile, “But the current situation is quite unfavorable for Longxi’s Pride. The Cao Family lost the Honored King, Cao Guang lost an old friend, the Qionghua Star Lord seems mad to find the trail of the Han Family, and yet Longxi’s Pride has left such a big opening. It really shouldn’t be!”

“Young Palace Master, there’s no need for these pointless words. Make a sky-high demand and sit down to negotiate. Let’s see if there’s another possibility aside from a lose-lose situation?”

Tang Luo stood boldly near the edge of a deep crater blasted by Spirit Art, taking no notice of the dust and grime, and sat just as boldly on a protruding square rock, leaning his back against the ashy rock wall.

His tone was forceful, but after all, he was still too young.

Watching Tang Luo’s desolate manner of sitting, Duan Longcheng chuckled inwardly.
