Chapter 545: Chapter 541: Success Rate
Resources must be transformed into actual power to function. Constantly amassing wealth without the ability to utilize it is incredibly foolish. Throughout history and mythology, dragons with endless treasures all ended up being designed to be killed, while the brave were able to ascend to the peak using these riches.
Tang Luo always wondered, how incredibly foolish the dragons in the stories must be to be so passionate in helping the brave accumulate wealth, they were almost philanthropists.
Tang Luo would never make the same mistake as those foolish dragons. Just using seven millennial Eternity Flowers could elevate Du Sha to another level. This deal couldn’t be more cost-effective, especially when Du Sha was severely injured while saving him.
Although his calculations were clear in his heart, his recent hesitation gave the trio a different interpretation.
Especially Du Ting and Du Wei, when Tang Luo called out to stop them, many thoughts crossed their minds. Based on these days of interaction with this Pride of Xiling, both of them concluded that he was not ordinary
It wasn’t about cultivation level, but during their interactions, Tang Luo’s manner of conducting himself and his unhurried attitude made them forget that he was only fifteen years old this year.
Therefore, they were especially afraid that Tang Luo was trying to transform their cooperative relationship into a feudal one using Du Sha’s injury.
The Du Clan had exemplar warriors before, so why was Du Ting particularly optimistic about Du Sha? Because the awakening of the Stone Heart Bloodline in Du Sha, although not of high-grade, had solved the most serious problem plaguing the Du Clan.
With the awakening of the Stone Heart Bloodline, Du Sha would not have a shortened lifespan due to the toxicity of the Red Crystal. In other words, Du Sha is the only warrior of the Du Clan who has the possibility to live beyond 200 years old and is confirmed to be a grandmaster by the Red Cloud Skill. Which was why even if they knew Du Sha had to sell himself for a hundred years, the three elders of the Du Clan had no intention of stopping him.
This was the most important secret of the Du Clan, which they had never shared with anyone else. Even after becoming guards of Tang Luo, they kept their mouths shut. Because the lives of three Fierce Realm elders were not nearly as important as Du Sha’s importance to the Du Clan.
So when they learned that Tang Luo was not trying to transform their hearts, but was going to spend a huge fortune to treat Du Sha, their eyes moistened. It wasn’t that they were moved by such kindness, but because they were relieved that Du Sha could ascend to another level for the future of the Du Clan.
As for Sun Jinfang, he was also won over by Tang Luo’s huge promises. Millennial grade divine herbs, perhaps only the oldest medicinal gardens of holy land sects might have them, but Tang Luo had brought out seven of them at once.
These were treasures that were priceless in the market, just thinking about being able to use such treasures to make medicine, even with Sun Jinfang’s mental stature, he felt somewhat excited.
Tang Luo naturally didn’t feel the surging emotions of the group, as he had many other urgent matters to deal with. He instructed the others, “The conditions of Martial Ancestor Tang Qian and Mr. Du Sha can’t be delayed. I would appreciate if both of you elders could accompany Master Sun and transport the two of them back to the Tang Clan.” He then took out a token from his pockets and gave it to Sun Jinfang saying, “This is my token, the defenders of North Mountain will let you pass once they see this. Master Sun, please stabilize the condition of the two first, I will make sure the millennial Eternity Flowers are sent over as soon as possible.”
Sun Jinfang took the token and nodded, “I will do as Young Master says.”
With Mi Yang being repelled and the Divine Martial Guards about to arrive, both Du Ting and Du Wei, who were worried about Du Sha, stopped being polite. They both created two crystal beds with the Red Crystal and carefully placed the unconscious Tang Qian and Du Sha on them.
Both Fierce Realm powerhouses carried the crystal bed and rose into the air, flying towards the north with Sun Jinfang.
After instructing the five Fierce Realm powerhouses, Tang Luo then shouted towards the distance, “What are you standing there for, hurry up and come over!”
The retreating Gong Zheng and Hua Ji had returned long ago with the reinforcements. Perhaps because they were afraid of Tang Luo’s punishment, they kept their distance. But when Mi Yang executed the Thousand Green Wood Realm, they ran closer. They were lucky enough since they escaped in the nick of time when Du Sha shattered the Thousand Green Wood Realm.
Afterwards, as Tang Luo was busy dealing with his followers who were injured by the shattering realm, he simply ignored the two, leaving them to the side. Both of them thought that Tang Luo wasn’t pleased with them, and they stood stiffly on the spot, not knowing what to do until they heard Tang Luo’s summon, when they immediately came running.
Looking at the two subordinates who approached him, Tang Luo instructed Hua Ji, “You wait here for the Divine Martial Guards, have them take all the unconscious people back to North Mountain for treatment.”
“Understood, sir.” Hua Ji was overjoyed to hear Tang Luo assign him a task, and he hurriedly responded.
“As for you,” Tang Luo turned to Gong Zheng and instructed, “Hurry up and inform the followers who have been taken to the Marshal Star Pavilion to come here and gather. They will be boarding the ship with the injured patients later.”
“Yes, sir,” Gong Zheng received his orders and immediately ran towards North Mountain.
Originally, Tang Luo had wanted to plan the camel hump on the north side of the main peak into the training ground of Unparalleled City. Whether it’s the Marshal Star Pavilion, the Righteous Gang, or civilian Foundation Builders, all should be carried out there. But now it seems that this plan has to be pushed back. This time, since Mi Yang suffered such a big blow, he definitely won’t let things be. This means that as long as Tang Luo stays in Red Cloud Mountain for a single day, it could potentially turn into a battlefield.
So he can only take all the people from the Marshal Star Pavilion with him. As for Gong Zheng and Hua Ji, he would leave them in Red Cloud Mountain and send a teacher to help them train the warriors.
This is the best choice for the moment, and he has to hurry to the middle peak because most of the warriors there have been transferred to provide support, so now there are only clueless followers there.
He didn’t need to think to know that without the control of warriors, the followers, who were ignorantly stirred up by the Mi Clan’s Wind Media who had mixed into the crowd, could do anything. If Du Ling happened to encounter a riot of followers when he returned, considering his temperament, he would definitely suppress those civilians.
He didn’t want things to develop in that direction, because he was still counting on cultivating quite a few talented individuals from this group of initial basic followers.
So, after instructing Hua Ji and Gong Zheng, Tang Luo ran towards the main peak.
While in the clouds above the North Mountain camel hump, where two individuals had been standing since the beginning of the battle, encapsulating the entire battle scenario. They are none other than Xiao Jinlin, the strongest in Xiling, and Xiao Qi, the young leader of the Xiao Clan.
Watching Tang Luo gradually walk away, Xiao Qi inquired through a secret message, “Father, Tang Luo just now almost pushed Mi Yang into a desperate situation. If you had pinched Mi Yang with him, you would have been able to kill Mi Yang here. Why didn’t you do it?”
Apart from the Xiao Clan’s territory, Xiao Jinlin demanded that Xiao Clan disciples only communicate through secret messages during battles, in order to ensure to the greatest extent that information would not leak out. As Xiao Qi was the junior leader of the Xiao Clan, he was naturally the biggest supporter of family rules, so even now, when it’s clear that there’s no one else around, he adhered to this rule.
“Desperate situation?” Xiao Jinlin gave his second son a glance, casually saying, “The resilience of the Divine Wood is beyond your imagination. What you think of as a desperate situation is just adversity for him. Even if I had taken action, the probability of killing Mi Yang would not exceed thirty percent.”
