Chapter 1487: Chapter 4: Mindset Chapter 1487: Chapter 4: Mindset “Ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha.”
The laughter that shook like thunder echoed in the vacuous expanse above the martial arts field. The Langhuan Sword Master did not conceal the appreciation in his eyes, “Whether it’s aptitude, martial skills, or temperant, you’re the highest among those of the past few centuries. Unfortunately, to beco a Saint King, you are still lacking sothing.”
“Dare I ask Senior,”
Tang Luo sat up straight and spoke calmly, “Since the predecessors could find a path from nowhere, why can’t I walk the existing path?”
“The path tread by those before cannot be taken by you any longer.”
Xu Lang chuckled lightly, “And the path you must now walk, the Tang Clan can no longer support.”
“A son does not scorn his mother for her ugliness, nor does a dog scorn its ho for its poverty. Walking one’s own path is sothing one must do on their own.”
Tang Luo shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly in response.
Xu Lang’s face darkened as he had forgotten how long it had been since soone had rejected him so directly. With the changing expression of the Langhuan Sword Master, the light in the martial arts field suddenly dimd.
After a mont of silence, Xu Lang spoke in a faint voice, “There are too many people who do not wish to see a Saint King arise from a great clan.”
Buzz!
A thunderous roar shook Tang Luo’s mind, his complexion changed drastically, and he clenched his fists even tighter. He had already found the clan leader’s orders to be strange.
But due to his trust in the clan leader’s strategies and his spirit being overly consud by being tempered with Void Energy, he had not thought deeply about this matter.
But now that he pondered it closely, the orders issued by the clan leader were probably not just about providing the outstanding disciples of the Tang Clan with a new training environnt.
Combining this with his rejection of Tang Bin’s requests to participate in the ingenious battle arrangents and the God-Making Plan, it was impossible to feel at ease.
Seeing through the anxiety in Tang Luo’s heart, the Langhuan Sword Master continued, “It seems you have already understood that this overwhelming montum is directed at you. Fortunately, you still have one way out.”
With his fists clenched even tighter, Tang Luo’s gaze sharpened like a blade as he said solemnly, “Please impart your wisdom, Senior.”
“Distance yourself from the Tang Clan of Longxi. You have the bloodline of a holy land within you, and from now on, you shall be a disciple of the Xu Clan, staying in Yuanzhou to focus on the Dao.”
Xu Lang said indifferently, “A saint must be pure and flawless. The sins of the Tang Clan will eventually beco the demons in your heart, barriers on your path. By severing ties, you will be without distractions, advancing boldly and vigorously!”
Pondering for a while, Tang Luo looked up and replied, “Senior’s kindness warms to the core, but if I really did as you suggest, how would I differ from a beast?”
“The Tang Clan used the Ghost Weeping Warship to slaughter countless clans, and for their own selfish desires, diverted water calamities.”
Like an impartial judge, Xu Lang spoke without any fluctuation in his voice, “Such a clan deserves death for its cris; alive, they bear continued guilt. Even without today’s ubiquitous hostility, they would eventually be held at the rcy of others.”
“Such a clan can no longer bring you any assistance; it will instead beco your burden and ultimately sever your path to sainthood.”
Tang Luo smiled, “I never ask what the clan can give ; I only think about what I can give to the clan. If the price of ascending to kingship and sainthood is betrayal of my own people, then such a Human King’s crown holds no appeal for .”
“It seems you choose a path that guarantees death.”
Xu Lang said indifferently, “Over a hundred years ago, the Blood Spirit Sect refused to submit to the Divine Court, incurring the hostility of the entire world and lasted only three months.”
“Do your best and leave the rest to fate.”
Tang Luo shrugged his shoulders, “The first thought when sothing breaks is to fix it; if it can’t be fixed, then consider other options.”
“What if fixing it bankrupts the family?”
Hearing Tang Luo’s step-by-step philosophy, Xu Lang laughed and said, “Calling back your family is the Xu Clan’s statent to the world. If you appear on the battlefield, the reputation of the Xu Clan as a relative will not protect you.”
“Life and death are predetermined; if I truly die, it will just show that this is all I amounted to, nothing to regret.”
His serene tone, paired with a deanor that looked beyond life and death, was extrely convincing.
Tang Luo’s deanor faintly reminded Xu Lang of Xu Xiao, with the sa peak talent and carefree exceptionalism.
This mory made Xu Lang sowhat weary and regretful as he said, “What a pity, I had intended to betroth my nine-generation great-grandson to you.”
“If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave!”
“Go.”
Xu Lang waved his hand, “There is a vacant lot in Area Forty-Nine of the Southern Boundary of Ying City; that will be your residence.”
“Thank you, Senior.”
After bowing in thanks, Tang Luo rose from the cushion and left the quiet martial arts field.
After he had gone, Xu Lang’s fingertip traced through the Sword Realm and from within stepped an elderly man with sword-like eyebrows and an extraordinary martial bearing; it was Tang Luo’s grandfather, Xu Feng.
“Thank you, Sword Master, for your generosity. My grandson… was truly impolite.”
It seed that Xu Feng had been within the Sword Realm during the conversation between the two, and now his face was filled with apologies.
“A small matter. I wonder if the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Sect is satisfied with Tang Luo’s temperant?”
Xu Lang asked with an indifferent smile.
“With such innate talent and martial skills, and still valuing family, his temperant is naturally excellent.”
Xu Feng nodded in approval, but his tone shifted with a hint of regret, “But rigidness cannot last, softness cannot be defended. With such talent and pride, he is likely to fall soday.”
“For children and grandchildren, there are fortunes of their own.”
Xu Lang said indifferently, “Tang Luo heads straight for the third floor; the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Sect should return to the martial arts field.”
After speaking, he opened a rift in the Sword Realm, and Xu Feng bowed to Xu Lang before flashing back to the martial arts field.
…
After Tang Luo had paid his respects to Xu Changfeng and Xu Feng, his two relatives, he quickly left the Langhuan Sword Pavilion.
His second uncle, Xu Changge, stood outside the pavilion. Upon seeing him co out, he approached with a beaming smile and asked, “How was it? The Sword Master is very kind and benevolent, isn’t he?”
“Kind… and benevolent? I suppose so.”
