Chapter 1509 - Chapter 1509 Fifteen Chapters The Tiger and the Sheep

Chapter 1509: Fifteen Chapters: The Tiger and the Sheep Chapter 1509: Fifteen Chapters: The Tiger and the Sheep No one knew whether tomorrow or an accident would come first, and those who considered themselves safe enough found their confidence shattered by a single cruel trial of reality.

Throughout the entire history of the Xiehe martial arts, a grandmaster at the age of twenty-six was enough to shock both the past and present. However, in the face of a rebellion fueled by the tides of human hearts, it seemed rather insignificant.

Leaving the council hall of Qutang City, Tang Luo met the poisoned Tang Family Martial Sect Head in the medicinal hut, hoping to eradicate the poison using the “gold and earth” Two Ambiguity Innate Qi.

Although the elders in the clan said to treat a dying horse as if it were still alive, the hope in their eyes was hard to fool Tang Luo.

Focusing his intent and regulating his qi, the Two Ambiguity Innate Qi coursed through his body, but the techniques, once invincible, were ineffectual. The divine soil of the innate flora in his Sea of Qi was like maggots in one’s flesh, not to be removed by external forces.

With a somber expression, Tang Luo stopped channeling his qi and explained the situation with the spiritual poison within everyone.

“What’s there to apologize for? It’s our fault for not cultivating efficiently. If we had reached the fifth rank and opened the Divine Storage, we wouldn’t have been poisoned. Ultimately, we have only ourselves to blame. Minister Luo, don’t worry about it. But there’s one thing!”

An elderly, poisoned martial ancestor chuckled and said, “My grandson, Tian Yu, is currently serving in the Marshal Star Pavilion. Please, Minister Luo, train him well. As long as he succeeds, any method is acceptable. I beseech you!”

“Rest assured, elder,” Tang Luo seriously replied, not usually one to make promises. “I will definitely make Tian Yu successful!”

“Ha ha, then I am relieved.” Seeing Tang Luo’s earnest promise, the eyes of the other poisoned elders brightened, and they weakly gathered around Tang Luo, starting to chatter incessantly.

“My life is near its end due to severe poisoning, so I entrust my grandson Xiang Rong to Minister Luo.”

“And my grandson, Gao Shuang, I entrust him to you as well.”

“… and my youngest son, Tang Yue, please look after him.”

One by one, over a dozen martial ancestors of the main lineage came forward. Having received Tang Luo’s promises, they joyfully retreated as if the unresolved spiritual poison in their bodies was of no importance.

The sense of relaxation and relief made Tang Luo suddenly understand something. These skilled practitioners of the main lineage had long understood what they faced. What truly worried them was not the almost certain deadly path ahead but their descendants.

Suddenly, Tang Luo somewhat grasped the meaning of a family. It was never about the glory but the continuation.

Longzhou Calendar 1791, early November

The Justice Alliance’s army marched from Andong City. Hundreds of troops from Fierce Realm split into two routes, one pressing towards Qutang, and the other towards Aran Mountain.

The people of Qutang City, upon learning this, understood it was an inevitable total assault by the Justice Alliance. With many Martial Ancestors incapacitated by spiritual poison, they lacked the strength for a head-on confrontation. Tang Zhi immediately decided to abandon the city and break through.

The rear guard was voluntarily undertaken by Tang Luo: “Let me do something for my clan in the end.”

Thus, besides Tang Luo, Qutang City left behind two elite martial ancestor teams to face the vast army from Andong City.

Leaning against the highest city tower wall on the eastern side of Qutang City, Tang Luo stood with two teams of Tang Clan martial ancestors ready to face death, including the First Head of Qutang City–Tang Huaiyu.

Eight people stood on the tower, but there was no tension typical before a great battle, just some minor complaints.

For example, the recent poisoning incident in Boma City had made the martial ancestors of Qutang wary of consuming Spiritual Food. They had to sustain themselves on Spirit Liquid they carried, which left them feeling immensely hungry–feeling as if they could consume a whole cow.

Really, they felt they could consume a whole cow!

Also, there were complaints about the Xuanji Sect. The Tang Clan had been doing business with them for hundreds of years and had never known about things like Broken Xuan Jade.

It resulted in them having stocks of hundreds of miles of Xuanji Jade that now just sat around. They felt that this sect oriented around researching Spiritual Instruments had dishonest intentions.

Amid aimless chatting, the distant clouds parted, revealing the magnificent Dragon War Chariot.

Tang Luo looked up, his expression suddenly changing: “First Head Huaiyu, take people and leave Qutang City immediately, catch up with the retreating clan leader and tell them the Justice Alliance’s total assault has begun!”

The First Head of Qutang City, Tang Huaiyu, initially wanted to refuse, but upon hearing the latter part of Tang Luo’s statement, he hesitated.

“One, two, three… six, seven!”

Tang Luo unconsciously moved to the foremost part of the tower, gripping the stone railing with both hands, his voice cold: “A lineup of exactly seven Grandmasters. The Justice Alliance really regards me highly!”

“I’ll try to buy time for the evacuation of Qutang City, urging the clan leader to speed up.”

As the First Head of the Martial Hall, Tang Huaiyu understood when to persist and when to give up.

Upon hearing that the opponent had deployed seven Martial Ancestors, he had no more objections to the retreat, signaled his troops, and then said to Tang Luo: “Minister Luo, there’s no need to overexert yourself. If you’re overwhelmed, retreat towards Lanshan City.”

“Thanks for the concern.” Tang Luo waved his hand: “I have a measure of our situation!”

With that, Tang Luo rose over the railing, flying out of the city tower like a large bird. The Void Energy, stored in the Void Stomach, rumbled and activated the Vo…
