I Can See Your Combat Power
Chapter 1538 - Chapter 1538 Chapter Thirty The Holy Road

Chapter 1538: Chapter Thirty: The Holy Road Chapter 1538: Chapter Thirty: The Holy Road “A millennium of changes, the sacred land takes a seat, fighting for the supreme Taoist lineage…”

“…The Demon Race vanishes, no new Saint from the Human Race… Therefore, this elemental Saint’s way lies not in warfare but in leadership and enlightenment…”

“…Finding a new path makes one a new Saint; finding the most acceptable method of explaining Spiritual Power makes one the highest Saint.”

“…Killing is not the solution, making the Tang Clan the sacred land is the best revenge…”

Interrupted and faint, each sentence from Tang Zhi sounded hoarse and dry, as if exhausting his life force. After finishing, he struggled to turn his head to the right, his pale eyes aiming toward Tang Luo.

Though he was blinded, Tang Luo could feel Tang Zhi’s worried and hopeful gaze, and he sensed the relief after entrusting his important mission.

It seemed that for this deeply poisoned patriarch of the Tang Clan, his life was far less important than these few sentences.

“I heard it, I’ve noted it down!”

Sitting by the bed, Tang Luo’s eyes stung as he held Tang Zhi’s hand and earnestly wrote.

Having received the response, Tang Zhi nodded contentedly and summoned his last bit of strength. “That man…could have…taken my…life directly, the poison…was for…you…don’t be deceived…”

“…Additionally…Tang Cunfu…can be the clan leader, this is my…and…the Elder Council’s…common…intention…”

“Tang Luo…go…find the path…”

His voice grew lower and weaker until after the last word was spoken, Tang Zhi fell unconscious again.

“Clan leader, Clan leader!”

Seeing Tang Zhi lose consciousness once more, Tang Luo summoned the Mysterious Serpent Phantom and dragged in a young Daoist monk who was waiting outside.

“Little master, please take a look!”

Dizzy from being pulled in, Lu Xiaotong had not yet steadied himself when Tang Luo’s voice already filled his ears.

Looking at the patient, who had just awakened and then fallen unconscious again, Lu Xiaotong, shocked, quickly took action. Several strands of iron wire shot out from his sleeve, probing Tang Zhi’s neck alongside his pulse.

Moments later, Lu Xiaotong withdrew the iron wires and sighed, “It’s really chaotic. If he’s forced like this again, the next awakening might even be shorter…”

“What do you mean?”

“Though this medicine can delay the effects of the poison, the Herbal Spirit Poison is deep-seated… The periods of lucidity will only grow shorter. If the Sea of Consciousness is forcibly stirred, it will only make the poison circulate more vigorously. Once the poison reaches the brain, he will completely lose all senses and consciousness, no different from a plant.”

Lu Xiaotong explained, “By that point, even if he’s alive, he might as well be dead.”

“… Given the current situation, how long does the clan leader have to live?”

“If he doesn’t stir the Sea of Consciousness again and maintains a meditative state as much as possible, perhaps he could last another seven to eight years?”

Lu Xiaotong chewed on his finger, calculating, then laughed, “But how is that possible? It’s already only the Sea of Consciousness that is active, like a plant focusing only on breathing and banishing stray thoughts, such a thing cannot be done, so at most he could last a year and a half?”

“Why look at me with that kind of eye? It’s not a problem with my medical skill. The Herbal Spirit Poison of the Heavenly Dragon Saint Child is one of the top in the world and utterly incurable–just delaying it is already quite remarkable!”

Tang Luo waved his hand, “I’m not blaming the little master.”

“That’s good, but actually, I have something to tell the Grandmaster.”

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Xiaotong looked up at Tang Luo and said, “This poison is very painful. The gradual loss of physical sensation is fully perceived by the person. Many who suffer from Herbal Spirit Poison don’t wait for it to reach their heart, dying painfully by their own hand. This patient… must have an immense determination to have held on just to awaken and speak with the Grandmaster.”

“But now that his wish is fulfilled, the little Daoist suggests… let’s end his suffering…”

Tang Luo’s gaze was electric, stopping the young Daoist monk’s remaining words.

The prestige of a Void Grandmaster was almost universally known across Longzhou.

Especially his record of fighting seven without a scratch had subtly elevated him to the top Grandmaster position.

Faced with such a fierce killer’s stare, not just Lu Xiaotong but even his elders would tremble.

Yet, looking at the patient who had once again lost consciousness due to pain, Lu Xiaotong mustered courage from somewhere and once again raised his head: “Actually… If the gentleman’s wish has been fulfilled, it would be best to let him go to avoid further suffering.”

The electric gaze softened, and Tang Luo turned to look at the unconscious clan leader on the bed before turning back to Lu Xiaotong, “Please help the little master, try to alleviate the clan leader’s pain as much as possible. Thank you!”

“I…sigh, alright!”

Lu Xiaotong scratched his head, reluctantly saying, “Actually, if we could borrow the Heavenly Pond hot spring from the Lingxiao Sect of Beimang, it could relieve this severe pain…”

Hearing this, Tang Luo was greatly surprised, “The Lingxiao Sect’s Heavenly Pond can relieve it!?”

“Grandmaster, don’t be too happy yet. The sects over there in Beimang are all stingy to the extreme. Not to mention lending the Heavenly Pond for healing. On ordinary days, even buying some spiritual herbs and treasures becomes a song and dance. As for borrowing the Heavenly Pond for years, to be honest, there’s no chance!”

Lu Xiaotong spread his hands like a little adult and helplessly said: “You should know this isn’t a matter of one or two days but rather, at the very least, three to five years. From what I see, there’s really no hope!”

“Thank you for the reminder, little master!”

Unaware of any issue in his approach, Tang Luo directly helped Tang Zhi onto a bamboo chair, securing his limbs with strips of cloth and preparing to leave with him.

“Hey, hey, hey, wait!”

Seeing Tang Luo about to leave, Lu Xiaotong hurriedly rushed to the doorway, spreading his arms to block the way: “The prescription has been given, and the patient has awakened, shouldn’t your favor be repaid by now? The request I just mentioned, can you agree to it?”
