Chapter 1002: Chapter 296: Qi and Blood Like a Dragon Chapter 1002: Chapter 296: Qi and Blood Like a Dragon Actually, Tang Luo had little interest in this kind of martial competition. Firstly, because most of the disciples were only of the Mortal Realm cultivation level, and secondly, his mind was entirely occupied with matters concerning the Yin-Yang sa origin and the affairs of the Blood Lion Sect, naturally rendering him indifferent to the child-like sparring of the youths.
From this standpoint, Tang Luo could understand why no King Realm powerhouses from Martial Saint Mountain had been seen at the Longzhou Youth Martial Arts Conference, perhaps their mindset was much like his own at the mont.
Nevertheless, having promised Ji Fu to observe the strength gap between the disciples of Lingxiao Sect and those of other sects, Tang Luo still watched the competition on stage attentively, no matter how dull he found it, and gave tily advice to Ji Fu sitting by his side.
In the midst of the harmonious atmosphere, Ji Fu suddenly sent a voice transmission to Tang Luo, “I had thought the ‘great freedom’ you spoke of years ago was rely an excuse to avoid an arranged marriage. Unexpectedly, you’re even unwilling to accept the daughter of the Xu Clan’s Sword Venerable. I must say, I’m sowhat impressed.”
They had just been discussing martial arts; what was this sudden change of subject? With a puzzled look, Tang Luo turned his head and saw Ji Fu still watching the bouts on the Panyun Platform intently, as if the transmission he had just received was a re illusion.
Clearly, the other party was treating this as a private conversation. Tang Luo could only reply helplessly through voice transmission, “Ji brother pays such attention to , truly, I am flattered.”
“It’s just routine business. The Wind dia Departnt must know why Brother Tang has traveled all the way from Longxi to Beimang.”
The voice transmission paused montarily as Ji Fu encouraged a few Lingxiao Sect disciples who had just finished their spar on the Panyun Platform. Then, he continued the conversation, “I also wanted to ask, did Brother Tang not notice anything unusual when you were ditating at Snake Fang Mountain for more than a month?”
Finally, here it was, the wait at Lingxiao Sect for two days wasn’t in vain!
Containing his excitent, Tang Luo replied nonchalantly through voice transmission, “Unusual? Are you asking about Cloud Marshal Fan Yong or the Devil Lord Gou Chen?”
“Let’s not beat around the bush. The Wind dia Departnt has found out that when Devil Lord Gou Chen and Fan Yong went to war, Brother Tang was in a valley deep within Snake Fang Mountain. With such a big commotion, you couldn’t have failed to notice, could you?”
“Such a spectacle is naturally not sothing I would miss, only I’m not sure what Brother Ji wishes to ask.”
Tang Luo held a smile on his face as he applauded the two Lingxiao Sect disciples who stepped onto the stage once more.
“A covert operative we planted in the Wuyi Sect for ten years has gone missing, and a piece of secret intelligence has been intercepted. As the sole spectator, don’t you have any information to share with your allies?”
“The sole spectator? It seems the Ji Clan’s Wind dia still lacks the sensitivity to top-level fighters.”
Gazing at Ji Fu with amusent, Tang Luo spoke softly, “Perhaps if Brother Ji could find the Bone Taoist and the Corpse Monk, you might obtain more information. It’s a possibility.”
The speaker was without intention, but the listener had purpose.
Tang Luo originally intended only to direct the Ji Clan’s attention toward the two protectors of the Blood Tower so that by driving those two away, he would beco the sole possessor of the Blood Lion Sect’s intelligence.
But to Ji Fu, these words took on a different significance.
The Devil Lord Gou Chen erged in the Wilderness, and coincidentally, the Bone Taoist from the Blood Tower was also in the Wilderness and had had an encounter with the Xiushi Emperor from the Feitian Clan.
At that ti, so speculated that Devil Lord Gou Chen might be one of the Ancient Blood Tower’s own, and even possibly the mysterious Tower Master of the Ancient Blood Tower.
However, this speculation lacked evidence to support it and was soon overshadowed by other theories. But now, in Beimang, Devil Lord Gou Chen appeared again with the two Protectors of the Bones and Corpses, which made the situation quite thought-provoking.
Tang Luo was of course unaware that a single statent from him would give rise to so many speculations. His goal was very simple: to use this unique information to arrange a eting with the leader of the Blood Lion after driving away the Protectors from the Blood Tower.
Once they t, the options would be nurous. If he could negotiate a deal, then the two of them could cooperate. Currently, although the Longxi Alliance was formidable in presence, it was not as powerful as it seed due to the many prominent families involved. A major reason was that the warriors from the Fierce Realm often fought independently, lacking not only Combined Attack Techniques but also smooth coordination.
If he could establish cooperation with the Wuyi Sect, then they could arrange for the Wuyi Sect to produce a batch of customized high-grade military uniforms for the Longxi Alliance. This would greatly enhance the top-end battle power of the alliance and also increase the overall cohesion among its ranks.
Of course, if negotiations failed, it wouldn’t matter. Tang Luo could still use him to exchange for magical techniques at the Xuanji Sect; in any case, he would not be at a loss.
Just as Tang Luo was delightfully contemplating how to threaten the leader of the Blood Lion, Ji Chen, a traveler from Lingxiao Sect, suddenly leaped onto the Pan Yun Platform. In front of all the onlookers, he cupped his fist towards Tang Luo and announced loudly, “Lingxiao Sect Traveler Ji Chen challenges the First Divine Child of Ten Thousand Clans. Please, Young Master Tang, bestow upon your guidance!”
Hm?
This abrupt challenge left Tang Luo bewildered. Turning his head to look at Ji Fu, he saw that the latter’s eyes also brimd with helplessness.
Now Tang Luo understood. The unexpected challenge before him was seemingly a spur-of-the-mont directive received by the traveler from Lingxiao Sect, given that aside from the disciples of various sects who were cheering wildly around the Pan Yun Platform, the expressions of the elders from Lingxiao Sect upon the platform were not looking too pleased.
Since he had achieved so minor insights into the research of the Yin Yang’s shared origin over the past couple of days, it would be fitting to test out his new knowledge. Tang Luo stood up and gracefully descended onto the Pan Yun Platform, triggering a tumult of excitent among the disciples of Lingxiao Sect.
Cupping his fist toward Ji Chen, Tang Luo said in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Sotis, you have to learn to resist, right? You can’t just do whatever your family asks you to do, can you?”
“The death of Shensheng was but a command from the Clan. Ji Chen is a soldier, and a soldier’s fate is to obey!”
Assuming the stance and summoning his Spiritual Power, Ji Chen looked sternly at Tang Luo and said in a subdued tone, “Moreover, Ji Chen has practiced since childhood with the desire to compete with the strong in this world. Being able to battle the unrivaled pride of Longxi is the highest honor!”
The Qi of the celestial spheres cultivated by the Xuan Ling Chong Xiao changed into the Undying Battle Body’s upper fifth-grade spiritual array. A series of drum-like “thuds” emanated from Ji Chen’s left chest, as his already robust fra began to swell like an inflating balloon, causing his clothes to burst. His vigorous blood and Qi filled his ridians and flesh, making the veins on Ji Chen’s body protrude like a network of red lines. The blood and Qi traveled faster and faster within his body until they burst out through his pores as a red mist.
This red mist gradually thickened, first forming blood clouds and then transforming into a dragon-shaped blood robe that wound around his right leg, spiraling upwards, until finally, the head of the Blood Dragon rested on his left shoulder.
At this mont, Ji Chen’s figure had beco even bigger than Tang Luo’s, and his appearance shrouded in scarlet with the Blood Dragon wrapped around him was akin to a mythical figure erging from the legends.
