Chapter 1530 - Chapter 1530 Chapter 26 In the Name of Justice
Chapter 1530: Chapter 26: In the Name of Justice Chapter 1530: Chapter 26: In the Name of Justice After the incident in Jiejiang City, the various clans of Longzhou had come to the realization that Tang Luo truly dared to kill, and did so with lethal intent.
First, the Young Palace Master Duan Longcheng died, and now even Duan Longshu was not spared. The powerful main line of Evil King Palace, which dominated Longzhou, was now left with only Duan Jiuchong.
It was like a basin of cold water poured over their heads, causing the smaller factions to start distancing themselves from the Justice Alliance, intentionally or unintentionally. The most direct manifestation of this change was the diminishing intensity of their encirclement and pursuit of the Tang Clan.
However, this did not mean that the danger had passed. Xiao Jinlin knew very well that the most dangerous ones always kept silent.
Those lurking in the shadows were the truly dangerous assassins.
Like the most patient hunters, they waited for the prey to show signs of weakness and exhaustion and chose the best moment to strike!
The seeming calm of the Longjiang was fraught with danger. The sound of the river tides crashing against the banks, like the roaring of ferocious beasts, left the Tang Clan with no choice but to move forward.
Standing at the bow of the ship, the Fire-Stealing Grandmaster’s expression was serene, his robes flapping loudly in the river wind.
In accordance with the agreement made with Tang Zhi, he was to leave after escorting the main line to Longjiang.
But now, with Tang Siyuan dead in battle, Tang Zhi poisoned and unconscious, and Tang Hongjun severely injured and unconscious, if he too were to leave, those assassins hidden in the shadows would surely swarm in eagerly. It was feared that before even setting out to sea, the legend of the Tang Clan would come to an end.
Therefore, he wanted to assist the Tang Clan in setting out as best he could, even if the only result was to ensure that their allies made a more dignified departure.
The boundless ocean was a fitting grand tomb for a powerful clan!
“Grandmaster Xiao, it’s time for you to embark.”
Tang Zhenghao, his body wrapped in bandages and missing an arm, joined Xiao Jinlin at the bow, his previously vigorous and tiger-like stature now seemed a bit gaunt, his unkempt white hair fluttering behind him. Despite the disheveled appearance, his eyes still gleamed with sharpness.
“Master Yang has been waiting in Dangyang City for a long time. He will accompany you to Beimang’s Lingxiao Peak. The opportunity to exchange martial arts insights with the ancient number one holy clan truly, makes this old man envious, haha.”
Tang Zhenghao laughed heartily, seemingly indifferent to the danger the Tang Clan would face after Xiao Jinlin’s departure.
“If Brother Zhenghao agrees, the Lingxiao Sect should be able to accommodate more than one guest elder.”
Xiao Jinlin spoke indifferently: “Placing the future burden of the family entirely on a group of children–if they take one wrong step, it could spell their doom. Although I should not interfere in an ally’s clan affairs, I still believe that it is necessary to leave one or two venerable elders to assist them.”
“To make a mistake, one must ultimately pay the price. Moreover, the death of some old men who are already half in the grave is hardly a loss.”
Tang Zhenghao laughed: “As for experience, that’s all old cliches. Without these, perhaps the children will go even further!”
“… Brother Zhenghao’s spirit is commendable.”
Xiao Jinlin sighed lightly: “Then I will watch over the glory of these children for Brother Zhenghao.”
“Much appreciated.”
Tang Zhenghao stroked his beard with his one hand, laughing proudly. After laughing, he added, “And don’t forget that matter, Clan Leader Xiao.”
Nodding, Xiao Jinlin replied softly: “Before going to Lingxiao Peak, I will deliver that item to Yuanzhou.”
“That’s good…”
Tang Zhenghao heaved a sigh of relief, then stood silently beside Xiao Jinlin at the bow for a while longer.
At the mouth of the Longjiang, where it met the sea, the colliding water waves formed swirling undercurrents and the rising mist obscured the scouts’ view of the road ahead.
The dense fog brought a bone-chilling coldness. Tang Zhenghao spoke again: “Clan Leader Xiao, you should leave now!”
“… Take care, Brother Zhenghao!”
Xiao Jinlin closed his eyes and, with a leap, turned into a streak of Spiritual Light that shot into the sky.
At the same moment, more than ten large ships emerged from the fog, bringing with them a chilling air as they approached the Tang Clan’s ship.
The leading warship was a three-decker, several times the size of the ship the Tang Clan was on.
In a sea battle, encountering such a behemoth was usually reason to flee, but today it faced the Tang family in Xiling–the strongest clan in all of Longzhou in naval warfare.
With both Tang Zhi and Tang Hongjun unconscious, Tang Zhenghao had become the highest commander of the Tang Clan, as well as the captain of this ship.
Faced with more than ten warships surrounding them in the fog, the one-armed old man was not alarmed but elated.
“Hahaha, these cowards finally couldn’t hold back!”
Tang Zhenghao, standing on one foot at the ship’s railing with his single arm, pointed at the Ye Family-flagged large ship ahead and declared: “When it comes to naval warfare, I am your ancestor! Charge at it, tear it apart!”
The large wheels on either side of the Dragon Bone revolved, accelerating the ship beneath them. The Dragon Fang ram at the ship’s bow directly pierced the main body of the three-decker.
Amidst the flying splinters of wood and broken planks, Tang Zhenghao laughed wildly, his single arm clenched into a fist as he extended one finger forward: “Charge, Tang Family men! Let these cowards know who really rules the seas!”
“Roar!”
The Tang Clan members, ready to fight to the death, roared in unison, flying out from the deck and the ship, their battle cries filling the air.
Outside, those who witnessed the Tang Family ship ramming straight into the Ye Family’s warship were taken aback, their collective Combined Attack Technique dispersing in defeat as they retreated back into the ship.
As for the remaining ten or so large ships, they slowly approached, preparing for boarding combat.
In view of this carefully planned great battle, the various clans were not the least bit flustered. Moreover, the strong ones observing from above had also seen Xiao Jinlin’s escape light.
Without their biggest reliance, the remaining members of the Tang Clan were surely doomed!
The boarding combat officially commenced; the tall three-decker shook with spiritual explosions that shattered the ship’s hold, sending a storm of iron and wood debris flying out like a steel tempest, inflicting heavy losses on the sailors of the approaching large ships in just one round.
