Chapter 1474 - Chapter 1474 Chapter 724 Resignation

Chapter 1474: Chapter 724: Resignation Chapter 1474: Chapter 724: Resignation Star Pavilion, Righteous Gang, Marshal Star Pavilion, Unparalleled City.

These were all of the resources and forces currently under Tang Luo’s control, which, aside from the honor, also meant no small amount of responsibility.

Although, after the floodwaters had receded, Tang Luo had allowed the refugees of Red Cloud Mountain to migrate to the Lingjiang Seven Cities, there were still tens of thousands who lived on Red Cloud Mountain.

The majority of these were the craftsmen who had built the city and the luminaries of Xiling, who had developed deep feelings for Unparalleled City on Red Cloud Mountain. Even though Kun Island could accommodate them, Tang Luo had no intention of taking them away.

However, Tang Chun’s reminder was not without reason. As Red Cloud Mountain’s terrain dominated the central section of Lingjiang, commanding the river channel, it was extraordinarily prominent throughout the entirety of Lingjiang.

If a great war truly spread to the Lingjiang region, perhaps Unparalleled City might become a ruin–it was uncertain.

Those who brandished the banner of justice to crusade against the Longxi Alliance would sacrifice anyone to achieve their goals.

Such a trivial matter as seizing a mountain city would not cause them the slightest hesitation.

In this light, Tang Chun’s reminder also seemed reasonable.

When Tang Luo returned from Jiejiang City to the Marshal Star Pavilion’s base, Du Sha had already gathered all members of the pavilion to stand by at the training ground.

Naive young people always regard battle as a romantic affair, but the students of Marshal Star Pavilion, born as wandering warriors, would naturally not be so naive; each of their faces was serious.

Scanning the crowd with hands clasped behind his back, Tang Luo asked with a smile, “Evil King Palace has torn up the agreement, and the Liu, Mu, Nong, and He clans of Longzhou have declared war on the Alliance. Are you afraid?”

“Not afraid!”

“Good! Courage is the soul of martial arts. Only without fear can you be invincible.”

“Victory, victory!”

The power of role models is infinite, especially when the head of Marshal Star Pavilion is Tang Luo–each student couldn’t help but regard this man as their role model, and how could they be fearful of battle.

Listening to the resounding pledges, Tang Luo praised loudly, “Good, I have felt your will to fight. But fine steel must be used on the cutting edge. The initial stage of a large-scale battle is often just the probing of vanguards. It’s not worth Marshal Star Pavilion intervening.”

The students looked at each other, their faces a mix of subtle regret as if they were particularly sorry about not being able to participate in the battle.

Such warlike students were rare; it seemed that the cultivation of Marshal Star Pavilion truly had transformed these people.

Gazing at the first two rows filled with peak warriors of the Mortal Realm, Tang Luo pondered but then said:

“Do not feel regretful. As long as it involves interests, there will always be endless wars in this world. But listen carefully–if the situation truly becomes critical, this pavilion master will send you to the most dangerous battlefields. If anyone is afraid or feels incapable, step back.”

After a quiet wait, the students looked at Tang Luo with bright eyes, not moving back an inch.

Seeing their defiant attitude, Tang Luo smiled and, in front of everyone, turned to Cui Dayou and said, “Gather everyone listed in the pavilion’s roster, along with the facility’s servants, within three days, we set out for Chaochang to board the ship!”

“Yes, I will see to it right away.”

Having become the trusted confidant of Longxi’s Pride, Steward Cui respectfully took the roster from Tang Luo’s hand and left without delay.

“Now, dismiss!”

Waving his hand to dismiss the students to continue their studies, Tang Luo intended to find Du Sha to discuss a matter but was stopped by the First Star General.

“Pavilion Master, please wait. Du has something important.”

“Important matter? Coincidentally, so do I.”

Tang Luo was taken aback, “Then let’s talk in the quiet room!”

The impassive, towering man nodded and led Tang Luo into the secret chamber of Marshal Star Pavilion.

The room, devoid of candlelight, appeared somewhat dim, but Du Sha had no intention of lighting it, instead closing the door behind them.

Only faint glimmers of light breached the crevices of the door and windows, not affecting the vision of the powerful.

Sitting opposite, Du Sha began in a deep voice, “The rumors from the Outer Continent–are they true?”

“Spreading rumors is as easy as opening one’s mouth. With so many rumors, Mr. Du Sha wouldn’t be so unwise. Just the other day, there were rumors that the charitables in the Seven Cities were abducting orphans to eat their hearts and lungs.”

Tang Luo tried to laugh it off lightly, wishing to gloss over the matter.

“Not the nonsensical rumors of Lingjiang City, but that pervasive rumor from the Outer Continent–the Wancheng Treasure Ship is the Ghost Weeping Warship, is it or isn’t it?”

An expressionless Du Sha had rarely spoken so much, yet Tang Luo wished he hadn’t heard.

The relaxed atmosphere disappeared, and the mood became tense in silence.

Du Sha did not need Tang Luo’s response, as his demeanor alone confirmed the rumor circulating in the Outer Continent as truth.

“Du is truly foolish; how did I not realize that the Wancheng Treasure Ship always returns fully laden from trade, with enough gold coins to scatter along both shores? Those profits aren’t from standard trading in the Outer Continent.”

With a wry smile, Du Sha shook his head, “According to legend, when the Ghost Weeping Warship appears amidst the fog, it signifies the extinction of a clan. The gold will erase everything, and the great ship, filled with aggrieved souls, will be content to submerge back into the deep sea.”

“Ancient monsters fed on the Human Race, but even the most brutal would only hunt when hungry. Can you tell me, Tang, why, despite already possessing the Lingjiang Seven Cities, the Tang Clan would still commit such heinous acts?”

Disappointment filled Du Sha’s eyes. Since the success of integrating his martial arts with his bloodline, he had rarely experienced such severe emotional turbulence.

But just the thought of the Ghost Weeping Warship signifying wholesale annihilation of an innocent family sent shivers down the spine.
