An Jingtian wondered why this newly erged Unparalleled Institute Director was so well-versed in Longyuan’s origins and its personnel composition, and was determined to protect the remnants of the Yun Clan.
But he knew that if things went awry, even if the Dutian Heavenly King Xun went all out, they might not be able to maintain their dignity.
During the Battle of Diancang Mountain, Qionghua Star Lord lost a Dharma Body, and before it could be reford, they were embroiled in the Chuanyuan Blood God chaos.
Lord Wang You of the Yin-Yang Pavilion in Yan Fu City, along with the Divine Court’s Qionghua Star Lord An Yushu, joined forces but ended up heavily wounded and even lost a Void Divine Hall.
The reason An Jingtian is the Acting Governor of the Dutian Heavenly King Xun is because the recuperation of the Qionghua Star Lord is of utmost importance. If he were to confront the Unparalleled Institute Director at this ti...
Thinking of the strange decree that forbade the fusion of spiritual energy over the past hundred li, and the Dao Realm black bead that treated dragon spirits like a toy...
One wrong move, and the Dutian Heavenly King Xun might have to change their Governor again.
Asking for help would be even more ridiculous. It was Cao Jinyu who originally plotted against the Yun Clan. If it were as simple as moving a finger to help, the King Xun would have done it back then. And now, to wrestle with a Martial Arts Monarch? To seek help from other Star Lords of the Divine Court?
What? Is Cao Jinyu An Family’s illegitimate child, so this grudge must be avenged?
Don’t be ridiculous!
Any sensible person would avoid doing sothing that clearly offers no benefits.
Although An Jingtian has no real talent for command, he can still gauge the right degree in his actions.
"Since the Director insists on not changing his mind, there’s no point in Jingtian staying any longer. Farewell!"
Though he had made up his mind, he couldn’t afford to lose face. Rising solemnly, An Jingtian wore a serious look as if a great battle was imminent, and, with a stern tone, bid farewell to Tang Luo: "Elder, be cautious. The King Xun will never stand idly by as the devilish remnants act freely!"
This matter is by no ans over, but the initiative of when to provoke trouble should naturally lie in his hands.
Temporarily withdrawing the fist is rely for delivering the next heavy blow, the current temporary retreat is because it’s not worth it.
Even if it goes to great lengths, this Minor Spiritual Realm only harbors so remnants of the Yun Family. To recover so dignity, engaging head-on with an enigmatic monarch is as foolish as betting five thousand gold on a whim.
Expressing one’s stance and waiting for the opportunity is enough. The King Xun, holding countless pieces of intelligence from Xiehe, has nurous ways to sche against Red Cloud Mountain.
As An Jingtian got up to leave after his stern words, Tang Luo called out to him, "Acting Governor, don’t be in such a rush to leave."
"What, does the Director not only want to protect the devil’s remnants but also forcibly keep my sect here?"
Stopping in his tracks, An Jingtian did not look back but asked coldly while facing away from Tang Luo.
"It’s not about troubling the Acting Governor, I rely wish to borrow sothing from you."
Seeing An Jingtian’s stubborn posture of unwillingness to turn back, Tang Luo smiled and made a gesture with his hand.
Under the power of the rules, Master An Jingtian involuntarily turned to face him, though his face darkened with a chilling deanor, he said in a cold voice:
"Is the Director trying to humiliate Jingtian? You seek to protect those targeted by the King Xun. As the Acting Governor, how could An Jingtian offer any convenience?"
"Since Longyuan is full of the King Xun’s targets, doesn’t the Acting Governor want to know where they’re heading?"
Tang Luo smiled and said, "Instead of deploying spies from Wind dia to tail them, why not cut straight to the chase and borrow the Mountain Departnt’s Heavenly Patrol Divine Vessel to send these Yun Clan people to their destination? This way, when the Acting Governor wants to cause trouble, he will know exactly where the target is, isn’t it splendid?"
Having lived over a hundred years, An Jingtian had never seen such an arrogant Human King. He trembled with rage, not knowing how to respond for a mont.
"Of course, since it’s a borrowing, The Academy would never let the Acting Governor work for nothing!"
Seeing how enraged he was, Tang Luo comforted him further: "In fact, by getting a list of the must-kill targets of the Dutian Heavenly King Xun, the few remnants of the Yun Clan in Longyuan aren’t even in the top ranks. If the Acting Governor is willing to lend a hand, The Academy will give you valuable information in exchange."
"Hmm?"
Just monts ago, infuriated beyond asure, An Jingtian suddenly regained his composure: "What’s the aning of the Director’s words?"
"The literal aning."
Tang Luo smiled and said, "Compared to those characters with real vendettas, the Yun Clan’s small number is actually insignificant, right."
"Wenren Yuanwu, Devil Lord Gou Chen, the remnants of Yinghuo."
An Jingtian fixed his gaze on Tang Luo and asked, "Does the Director an to exchange information about these people?"
"Exactly."
Tang Luo nodded with a smile: "Now, does the Acting Governor still find it unworthy?"
Needs are categorized by priority, and in the list of vendettas of the Dutian Heavenly King Xun, the Yun Clan is rely an appendage at the bottom.
The true must-kill targets of the Dutian Heavenly King Xun are only three: First, the Yinghuo Saint King who killed Cao Jinyu, second, the master of the Blood Tower, Wenren Yuanwu, and third, the Devil Lord Gou Chen who caused the fall of Hanging Sky City.
The priority of these three surpasses that of the Yun Clan. If accurate information can be obtained, compromising and making concessions on the Yun Clan’s matter isn’t out of the question.
An Jingtian’s gaze flickered, showing a slight interest.
Knowing that one needs ti to accept such a proposition, Tang Luo then turned to An Yuheng and Yao Gekuang, who had been sitting silently: "Are the two Holy Sons currently traveling to Xiehe to visit the mountain gates?"
Though their status was exceptional, in the Dragon Palace, An Yuheng and Yao Gekuang were rely accompanying guests.
The seats were not for them but a show of respect for the forces they represented. Thus, they had no intention to speak from the very beginning, simply drinking and eating neatly.
Even when tensions escalated between Tang Luo and An Jingtian, the two paid no heed, as confrontations of such a level were beyond their capability to engage in.
Moreover, no matter how the clash played out, it wouldn’t affect them, so why should they care?
Unexpectedly, as the conversation between the Unparalleled Institute Director and An Jingtian unfolded, it suddenly involved them.
The two Holy Sons exchanged a glance, and Yao Gekuang was the first to rise: "In recent days, this junior has indeed been traveling among various sects of Xiehe, honing martial skills."
"After exploring the various sects of Zhongzhou, could Yao Holy Son grace Longzhou with his presence, allowing the warriors to witness the peerless divine skills of the Heaven Sect holy land?"
This unexpected invitation left Yao Gekuang montarily stunned, not expecting that the purpose of the Unparalleled Institute Director’s conversation was this.
Though invited by a monarch, the thought of the impoverished and remote Red Cloud Mountain left him disinterested. After a mont of contemplation, he organized his words and declined: "Since Kunwu Realm’s mountain closure, there’s no worthy opponent among my peers in Longzhou, I’m afraid I must decline the Director’s kind offer."
"Yao Holy Son, no need to refuse in haste."
Tang Luo gestured with a smile: "A Holy Son traveling the world not only connects with forces and draws on various strengths but is also a journey of self-correction martial arts. By now, Yao Holy Son should have noticed your own problem. Have you thought of a solution?"
It defies logic that extre sensitivity in perception would beco a weakness, such a situation is indeed contrary to common sense.
After pondering for days without a clue, upon hearing Tang Luo’s ntion, a flash of insight dawned on Yao Gekuang’s mind: "Elder, do you an you have a way to solve this problem?"
Indeed, the insight of a Heaven Sect traveler!
He understood instantly.
Tang Luo nodded warmly, confirming Yao Gekuang’s speculation with a gentle smile.
