Chapter 1508: Chapter Fourteen: Entrustment_2 Chapter 1508: Chapter Fourteen: Entrustment_2 “Easy for you to say.”

Tang Luo, having his suggestion dismissed, also got heated, crossed his arms, and said discontentedly, “Master Zheng Yao has also witnessed the strength of Tang Luo’s Void Spiritual Body. I dare say, even the Xu Clan’s Sword Sect, known as the first in slaughter, cannot break through the Void Spiritual Body’s defense in a one-on-one fight without using the Primordial Sword Command!”

“Who said anything about fighting him one-on-one?”

By then, Duan Zhenyao had calmed down, “Think carefully, Master Siping. Though the Void Spiritual Body’s defense is astonishing, it’s not truly impregnable. If it truly feared no triple transformation of Spiritual Power, why would he need to suppress us? He could have simply started by cleaning up the disciples in the palace, weakening the alliance’s fighting power.”

Triggered by Duan Zhenyao’s remark, Duan Siping also realized, but to accept this judgment based on just this seemed a bit far-fetched: “This isn’t certain either, perhaps Tang Luo is just proving his mastery, not wanting to trouble ordinary disciples. Or maybe he has lessened his killing intent now; you see, the warriors from the Justice Alliance in Andong City, he also only wounds without killing.”

“Master Siping, do not be deceived by such appearances.”

Duan Zhenyao waved his hand and continued, “Tang Luo’s inclination to kill will remain unchanged even if he becomes the Human King. This time, his wounding without killing is merely to show off his martial skills, fearing a greater backlash. But when he fought with us, he still revealed the limits of the Void Spiritual Body. The third transformation of Spiritual Power can still harm him; otherwise, neither of us would have had a chance to survive!”

Duan Siping recalled the details of the combat meticulously. The Void Giant’s suppression from beginning to end hardly gave them any breathing room. It seemed fierce and peerless, yet some panic was revealed during the clash.

This indicated that the Void Giant was indeed wary of the masters, not giving them enough time to gather Spiritual Power or any opportunity to combine their strikes. Seen in this light, Duan Zhenyao’s judgment was not unreasonable.

Realizing he had persuaded Duan Siping, Duan Zhenyao then said, “In my opinion, this time, besides inviting the masters of the four families to discuss matters, we should also coordinate battle strategies.”

“Battle strategies?”

“Yes, the Void Giant might be invincible in defense, but its offensive power is lacking. Even an average master’s spiritual body can contend with it.”

Duan Zhenyao proudly stated, “Just find a few more helpers to hold him off, and we will have the chance to brew a combined Spirit Art, definitely able to break his Void Spiritual Body!”

Hearing these decisive words, Duan Siping was somewhat swayed and echoed, “Let’s try it, it couldn’t hurt.”

…

Qutang City’s council hall

An angry Tang Zhi soon controlled his emotions and began adjusting the existing plans.

Originally, without Tang Luo’s involvement, after breaking out in a counterattack, Qutang City would have held the main forces of the Justice Alliance for a few days, then abandoned the city when overwhelmed.

Splitting the enemy’s forces while buying time for the family’s relocation; but now with Tang Luo’s involvement, the Longxi Alliance reclaiming Qutang City no longer needed to fight bitterly and instead, had scared away all the elites of the Justice Alliance, creating a standoff across the river.

With strong reinforcements, Qutang City’s defenders naturally uplifted, but who could see the bigger crisis looming behind?

Two rumors about Tang Clan of Longxi quickly spread throughout Longzhou.

The first was: the diversion of the Longjiang River was not a natural disaster, but a man-made one. It was Tang Sen, the First Head of the Martial Hall in the Tang family in Xiling, who had caused the collapse of three mountains along Longjiang, leading to the river breaking its banks.

The second was: there was once a wicked deity in Beimang who through sacrificing living people for training ultimately became the Human King, and his unique mastery was the Innate Yin-Yang Grinding Mill, same as Longxi’s Pride’s mystical powers.

These two pieces of news spread throughout Longzhou one after another, further elevating the infamous reputation of the Tang family. Moreover, some “clever individuals” discovered incredible information from these rumors.

As for why the Tang Clan wanted to breach Longjiang’s dikes, there were various theories, but one seemed to gain most people’s acceptance.

“What Longxi’s Pride, turns out he’s a fiend who practises with living people; no wonder his cultivation improved so fast!”

“Yes, yes, I have a cousin in Lanshan City; he said that before the flood, Tang Luo deceived millions in Xiling up to Red Cloud Mountain, then an epidemic broke out, and who knows how many died. Looking at it now, all these people must have been sacrificed, truly tragic.”

“Like a crooked beam supporting crooked rafters, the Tang family has been pillaging the outer seas and killing countless people for hundreds of years. Born into such a family, and having the same mystical powers as the wicked deity of Beimang, how could he not follow the wicked deity’s old path, right?”

“Yes, such a cruel family and fiend should not be allowed to exist!”

The hardest thing in the world is to acknowledge the excellence of others.

Both shouldering a head, how can you be so strong I don’t understand.

You must have taken some shortcut, must have used some foul trick.

This is human nature; rather than admitting one’s own weaknesses, it feels more satisfying to attack others.

The news did not only circulate throughout Longzhou but even reached other continents.

It sparked curiosity within many sects, as the practice of Yin-Yang Grinding had only been known a few times in thousands of years.

Though the true capabilities of this power were as unclear as flowers seen through fog to most, the sects and families that had truly experienced the horrors of the Beimang’s evil deity’s rise were hair-raising terrified merely hearing the name.

Although there was no direct evidence proving that Tang Luo was like the evil deity of Beimang, using living people to train, they could not help but harbor suspicions.

Because the strength Tang Luo exhibited far exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Thus, several major sects in Beimang jointly declared:

“Judging Tang Luo for refining living souls based on rumors alone is inappropriate. The Lingxiao Sect will dispatch a master to verify.”

“Justice will prevail; the Ghost King Sect will not allow another evil deity from Beimang to emerge in Xiehe. We will thoroughly investigate this matter.”

The implication was the same–they would send masters to Longzhou to investigate further.

Unexpectedly, sects from both the South and Zhongzhou also did the same.

Wushen Mountain, Guildless Temple, King Ji Altar, Eclipse Sect, and Bai Zhang Pavilion simultaneously informed Xiehe that they would investigate Tang Luo thoroughly.

With the sects stepping forward, the citizens of Xiehe were momentarily reassured, but those with clear vision understood that these sects were not really investigating Yin-Yang Grinding but were rather kicking someone while they were down.

For a time, the Tang family again became the target, and Tang Luo was the bullseye for several sects.

…

Qutang City

“They sure arrived swiftly.”

Tang Zhi calmly handed over the intel to Tang Luo, as though he had anticipated this, “Although many sects are coming, the Lingxiao Sect from Beimang will definitely be the fastest. Once they arrive, you will go with them to Beimang; the Ji family will try their best to take care of you.”

After glancing through the jade slip in his hand and tossing it aside, Tang Luo calmly said, “I don’t need any care. It’s better that these people are coming; I can help the family buy more time for relocation.”

“There are no more places in the Minor Spiritual Realm.”

Tang Zhi calmly denied, “Two Wancheng Treasure Ships are already stationed at the outlets of the South Sea and the North Sea; I will lead the remaining members of the alliance to break through. The Wind Media scattered across the continents will disseminate the rumors, and the legend of the Tang clan will start and end on the seas.”

Silence ensued. Tang Luo picked up the jade slip again, clutching it tightly in hand, his voice trembling, “Does it really have to be this way? There’s still a chance!”

“There are no more chances.”

Tang Zhi coldly said, “Don’t think about the foolish notion of the son paying for the father’s debts. I was the one who gave the order. If there must be someone accountable with significance, it would have to be me.”

Composedly standing up, Tang Zhi adjusted his robe and proudly declared, “If I do meet the ancestors of the Tang clan in the underworld, Tang Zhi will have no regrets.”

“You may have no regrets.”

Tang Luo’s expression was complex, “But how can you be so sure I can lead the Tang clan to even greater heights? For all we know, it could lead to our clan’s demise.”

“That won’t happen.”

Tang Zhi turned and smiled, examining Tang Luo from head to toe, his eyes filled with admiration, “In Xiehe, martial artists are revered, and you are the finest in a millennium. As long as you are here, the glory of the Tang clan will not fade. I have never doubted that.”

The jade slip in his hand was already cracked from his grip, and Tang Luo dejectedly said, “Right now, it seems I’m still not good enough.”
