Chapter 1466 - Chapter 1466 Chapter 720 Extreme Fury

Chapter 1466: Chapter 720: Extreme Fury Chapter 1466: Chapter 720: Extreme Fury After conveying the news brought back from the Sect Head Tang Zhi to his family, Tang Luo returned to Yunluo Garden in Lanshan City.

Upon entry, he saw the full concern in Yun Xiu’s eyes.

Tang Luo’s normally unflappable face finally collapsed, and even his tall and robust body deflated to the size of a normal person, like a deflated football.

Taking a few steps towards his wife, he lost all strength. Yun Xiu quickly extended her arms to tenderly embrace her husband, comforting the exhausted man with her gentleness.

After a long while, the man who had his eyes closed and was buried in his wife’s embrace spoke faintly,

“The clan leader said we’re not going to fight, I don’t understand…”

“We could have won… why…”

“If the Xu Clan asks us to completely sever ties with the Tang Clan when I go to Yuanzhou, what should we do…”

Gently patting her husband’s back, Yun Xiu remained silent, simply listening to his intermittent murmurs.

Inside was not just anxiety about the current crisis, but more so a sense of being impotent despite possessing divine power.

The intermittent murmuring grew softer and softer, and Tang Luo, already drained by Void Energy, fell into a deep sleep within the embrace of Yun Xiu, his breathing even.

Yun Xiu gently picked up her husband and laid him on the bed, softly smoothing out the furrows in his brow, then leaned down to smell his forehead.

These few months, the man had really been too tired; it was time for him to have a proper rest.

…

After an indeterminate amount of time, the man startled awake from his sleep, with two beams of Divine Light shooting straight from his eyes towards the heavens.

Upon seeing the familiar roof of his home, the sharpness in his eyes softened, and only then he realized that his head was resting on his wife’s lap.

“Ah… how long have I slept?”

Tang Luo asked somewhat sheepishly, having forgotten how many years it had been since he had last indulged in sleep.

It seemed that since his advancement to the Mortal Realm, he had relied on meditative practices to replace rest. Falling asleep this time due to the overwhelming mental impact was somewhat embarrassing.

He struggled to get up but was stopped by the gentle hand on his forehead. Yun Xiu looked down with a smile, “You’ve only slept for a bit over an hour; you can lie back down for a while.”

“Uh… just over an hour, well… I guess lying down for a bit longer wouldn’t hurt.”

Tang Luo, pressed back down by the gentle hand, shifted his head to find a more comfortable position.

“We need to prepare to leave Lanshan City.”

Settling back into position, Tang Luo softly said, “The Sect Head’s servants and the housekeeper are already packing. The Xu Clan’s large ship is docked at the south bank of Chaochang… Would you be willing to live in Yuanzhou?”

Feeling the coldness of the hand stroking his forehead, Tang Luo tenderly took her hand, gently saying, “If you don’t want to, we can stay in Longzhou. It’s close to Chaochang, and after things settle down here, we can move directly to Chaochang.”

The cold hand warmed, and Yun Xiu lowered her head to kiss Tang Luo, “Let’s go to Yuanzhou with your father and mother; it’s better for your cultivation there.”

“Actually, cultivation is the same anywhere…”

Mid-sentence, Tang Luo placed Yun Xiu’s hand against his face, lamenting in a muffled voice, “Ah, trouble is coming!”

“Go ahead.”

Yun Xiu, who had also heard the footsteps at the gate of Yunluo Garden, smiled, helped Tang Luo to rise gently, and straightened his collar.

After quickly kissing Yun Xiu’s cheek, Tang Luo turned and walked to the outer courtyard to welcome the guests outside.

The heads of the Cui Family, the Xue Family, and the Zhang Family, as core members of the Longxi Alliance, were the most powerful families in Lanshan City.

The Xue, Zhang, and Cui families had a tight bond with the Tang Clan, and many members of their families were intermarried with the Tang Clan, making it difficult to conceal certain matters once relationships became close.

Xu Changge’s arrival at Jiejiang City via spirit beast from Ying City that very morning was meant to be secretive, yet these three already had the news by afternoon; their sources were even keener than a dog’s nose.

“Cui Ying pays respects to Tang Tianjiao.”

“Xue Bin pays respects to Young Master Luo.”

“Zhang Yang pays respects to Tang Tianjiao.”

The three, standing in a triangular formation as the door opened, hurriedly greeted Tang Luo courteously.

Normally, after pleasantries, they would be invited inside to make small talk before getting to the point.

But Tang Luo was always one to break the norms. His massive, muscular physique blocked the gate, wide enough for two to pass, as he scowled at the three men and said curtly, “My humble abode is spartan, and I won’t ask the three of you to take a seat inside. But I wonder, what brings the three of you here together?”

Having heard of Tang Tianjiao’s aloof character, they witnessed it firsthand today; reputation was indeed well-deserved.

To have the heads of three families coming together and not even be allowed past the door gave quite the stunning impression.

Disrupted in their thoughts by the sudden refusal, the heads of the Xue and Zhang families were unsure of how to proceed, but it was Cui Ying who adjusted first, inquiring, “We’ve heard that the Sword Pavilion in Middle Ying City intends to recall the Sect Head; we wonder if Tang Tianjiao will also be departing with them?”

Perhaps never having asked such a direct question, Cui Ying’s heart was pounding.

But Tang Luo simply raised an eyebrow and sized up Cui Ying before saying, “Head of the Cui Family, you’re very well-informed.”

“Don’t jest, Tang Tianjiao.”

Cui Ying replied with a wry smile, “A great battle is imminent. Sect Head Tang Sen is the bulwark of Jiejiang Cart, and Tang Tianjiao is the pillar of Lanshan City. Without the two of you, the Longxi Alliance is like a body without arms!”

“You overstate, Head of the Cui Family. The mighty alliance is full of talented individuals; it does not need me to serve as the pillar.”

Tang Luo said indifferently, “Moreover, the edict was issued by the Sword Pavilion of Ying City; can the Tang Clan refuse to comply? We can only follow the order to leave first, then make further plans.”
