Chapter 1524 - Chapter 1524 Chapter 23 The Proclamation from Qilin Mountain

Chapter 1524: Chapter 23: The Proclamation from Qilin Mountain Chapter 1524: Chapter 23: The Proclamation from Qilin Mountain As a master known for his physical prowess, Tang Luo felt increasingly strained. His defensive abilities were among the top in the Martial Ancestor level, but with more and more amplifying devices appearing on the path of martial arts, this seemed to be insufficient.

However, this was not the time to consider that, as his immediate concern was how to shake off the seven relentless masters pursuing him.

To this end, Tang Luo had a plan at the ready. The black light that tore through the sky veered towards the nine heavens and blinked into the clouds.

Meanwhile, the seven persistent trails of escape light stopped chasing when they saw the black light vanish into the sky.

This was not the first time Tang Luo had managed to elude them by escaping into the void.

They had used almost every method available to them, from setting traps and laying ambushes to encirclement and interception, yet somehow Tang Luo seemed to have a special intuition, always avoiding their pre-arranged setups.

“Why does he escape every time?” Duan Zhenyao from the Evil King Palace bellowed in anger. “In another fifty li, we will be at the boundary I have set up. Only the seven of us here are privy to this information. Who can tell me how Tang Luo managed to narrowly avoid it again?”

The repeated failures of their schemes finally provoked Duan Zhenyao’s outburst. As the local powerhouse of Longzhou, the resources the Evil King Palace could mobilize were naturally beyond the reach of other sects.

Hence, devising trap formations naturally relied on the Evil King Palace’s performance. Initially, the several masters had thought it quite straightforward.

By chasing incessantly, they aimed to drive Tang Luo into a specific airspace, and once the formation was activated, even a master like Xiehe, the foremost in Void Body Refinement, would easily be manipulated.

But now, despite the considerable effort to set up the formation, Tang Luo had escaped time and again. Rather than believing he possessed some kind of fortune-telling prowess, Duan Zhenyao leaned more toward a conclusion that was easier for him to accept.

“I know you all are willing to take action because you want to delve into the secrets of Void Body Refinement, but with Tang Luo’s vindictive nature, he has already taken note of all of you. Even if there are covert dealings or superficial pleasantries, he would never truly reveal the secrets of Void Body Refinement!”

Duan Zhenyao, with a stern face, turned toward the three masters from the Eclipse Sect, Wushen Mountain, and Bai Zhang Pavilion and said, “Only by truly subduing him can we penetrate the secret. Do I really need to explain such logic!?”

“Master Long Zheng,” Chu Xuanyun frowned. “Your words are a bit too much!”

“Too much? I think not at all!” Duan Zhenyao said calmly. “Once or twice might be a coincidence, but we’re talking seven or eight times now. If Tang Luo really has the ability to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, why does he always choose to change course so close to us? You are all masters from Superior Heavenly Sects; can any of you explain this?”

“The world is full of divine abilities that are constantly changing; perhaps the Void Grandmaster truly possesses a prophetic ability like the Peeper of Prophecy. What’s so strange about that?” Huai Hai, the master of Bai Zhang Pavilion, said indignantly. “If Master Long Zheng thinks that Tang Luo’s escapes are all due to someone tipping him off, then we might as well part ways now to avoid messing up the big plans of the Evil King Palace!”

When there’s mutual suspicion, the alliance is bound to fall apart. It’s better to part on good terms rather than later.

Through these days of pursuit, they had realized that once the number of people chasing Tang Luo surpassed a certain limit, he simply wouldn’t engage with them.

He would turn and run at the sight of them from afar, and his Spiritual Light Escape Technique was just a hair faster than theirs, putting them in a very passive position.

The goals of their sects were completely different from those of the Evil King Palace. The latter, mortal enemies of the Tang Clan, were extremely fearful of Tang Luo’s continued growth.

If there was a chance to kill Tang Luo today, the Evil King Palace would certainly not miss it.

But the others were different; they only wanted to investigate Tang Luo’s method of Void Body Refinement under the pretense of inspecting the Yin-Yang Grinding.

Through their interactions over this period, they had been utterly convinced by the formidable Void Spiritual Body, and their curiosity about the secret of how Tang Luo accomplished Void Body Refinement had only intensified.

Their joining forces was just a means to leverage the Evil King Palace’s connections to capture Tang Luo.

But looking at the current situation, continuing with the Evil King Palace meant that they couldn’t even make brief contact with Tang Luo.

This was undeniably against the interests of their sects. Therefore, when Duan Zhenyao vented his emotions, Huai Hai directly suggested they go their separate ways.

Together with Chu Xuanyun from the Eclipse Sect and Master Tian Wu from Wushen Mountain, they departed.

The four masters from the Evil King Palace did not stop them, as they had already concluded that one of the three was providing inside information to Tang Luo.

As the saying goes, “No common ground for understanding makes it hard to work together.” Instead of nitpicking, it was simpler to sever ties; after all, from their days of interaction, they had learned that the four masters alone were sufficient to deal with Tang Luo–more people would not make for a better situation.

The seven masters, each with their own thoughts, thus split into two groups. Meanwhile, the target of their pursuit, Tang Luo, upon realizing the masters behind him were no longer chasing, took a wide detour and stealthily returned to Yancang.

Having been in the sky for so long, he eagerly wanted to know the current situation of the Tang Clan. Using the Great and Small Wishful Incantation along with the Concealment Technique, Tang Luo smoothly blended into the city. He casually entered an inn, sat down, ordered a table full of meat dishes, and dined by himself.

The biggest buzz in Longzhou at the moment was about taking down the Tang Clan–who would have thought that the world of martial arts had so few amusements? Even if they were clueless about the reasons, people would talk about the recent developments whenever they could, just to show their deep concern for justice.

So Tang Luo didn’t actually need to seek out any Wind Media Department; just by sitting in a crowded place, he could gather countless pieces of information.
