I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 323 - 319: Return (Complete) Request for Recommendation, Request for Monthly Ticket’

Due to Ji Fu’s resurgence, the greatest hazard for the Tang Clan is no longer the threat of the Mi Clan, but the Saint An’s house all the way in Zhongzhou.

Unless the Tang Clan can produce a Saint Lord-level powerhouse to somewhat intimidate the An Clan, the possession or lack of the Endless Blood Divine Sons will not fundamentally change the situation for the Tang Clan.

Take Yuan Zhunas an example; he’s merely part of the Falling Star Army of the Xu Clan, which can annihilate how many Blood Divine Sons? And that’s just one of the three armies.

A few volleys of arrow rain are enough to obliterate tens of billions of Blood Divine Sons. This absolute difference in strength renders the quantity a joke unless there is a decisive warrior or a team of Grandmasters. Otherwise, Tang Luo constantly feels a looming executioner’s blade over his head.

The existence of the Endless Blood Divine Sons isn’t a good thing for the Tang Clan. These monster-like enemies, which are difficult to overcome yet easy to defeat, would only lead the next generation of the Tang Clan astray, allowing them to take pride in controlling more Blood Divine Sons, which is essentially a path to destruction.

Tang Luo has a clear estimation of himself. He will be able to reach the Fierce Realm in a year and a half, but progressing from the Fierce Realm to the King Realm is a long-term accumulation of time. He is reluctant to attract the attention of the sacred sect due to the Blood Divine Sons during his most critical period of growth, which would be disastrous for the Tang Clan.

“Having the Endless Blood Divine Sons does not give the Tang Clan any advantage in facing the An Clan in Zhongzhou, so I don’t think the Tang Clan needs Blood Divine Sons,” Tang Luo candidly stated. “Furthermore, I believe we should focus on using Ji Fu’s thirst for the Blood Divine Sons to expand our interests. We shouldn’t waste our time trying to subdue the Blood Divine Sons.”

All those present are intelligent and should understand from this straightforward language that the Blood Divine Sons are not a necessity even if they add a slight touch of brilliance to the clan. Despite having the secret arts and resources of the Minor Spiritual Realm after obtaining it, the Tang Clan still needs to close the one-thousand-year gap from the sacred land. Wasting resources on subduing the Blood Divine Sons would only lead to more losses. This is the real reason for Tang Luo’s reluctance. Otherwise, in the Minor Spiritual Realm, Tang Luo, who held the Yin-Yang Grinding tool, could have subdued it right after the Blood Divine descended into the fifth layer of the palace.

Whether it is a single warrior or an entire warrior family, they must keep their ultimate goal in view. During the pursuit of this goal, they will inevitably be tempted by distractions. Once you feel that switching paths might also work, you will eventually deviate from your ultimate goal.

How to make the Tang Clan on par with the sacred land is Tang Luo’s goal. The Blood Divine Sons represent the distractions encountered in pursuing this goal. When the existence of the Blood Divine was revealed in the Minor Spiritual Realm, he also had such thoughts. However, after careful consideration, he abandoned that idea. Holding on to everything will only make you unable to fly due to excessive burdens. Grasping only what is most important will enable you to reach the pinnacle.

Upon hearing this, the Clan Chief Tang Zu, pacified his anger, understanding the main reasons behind Tang Luo’s unwillingness to take action. This conversation has implanted a thorn in his heart as he vaguely felt that even if the Blood Divine were beneficial to the Tang Clan, Tang Luo would find a way to evade it. The future of the Tang Clan, as he sees it, possesses an unwavering Dao Heart. Once he believes in a principle, no external force, regardless of how powerful, can compel him. This recognition has subtly worried the elder who always put the family first.

Dean Tang Kuan and the Great Elder Tang Siyuan also came to understand after hearing Tang Luo’s words that the Blood Divine truly isn’t of much use to the Tang Clan. However, as elites, they have their own way of thinking.

Even if what Tang Luo said made sense, they have their own methods for assessing value. Just with the issue of the Blood Divine, they knew that they can’t rely on Tang Luo. But no one knows what they were planning.

May 19th

Council Hall of the Clan

Because a few children haven’t awakened yet, it’s once again a conversation amongst Tang Luo, Ji Fu, and Xu Lao Ying.

“Ahem, young Master Ji. Don’t you have anything to say to me?” asked Tang Luo, his complexion pale. Although it was slightly better compared to when he had just returned from the Minor Spiritual Realm, he still appeared weak, fraught with weak vitality, a pitiful sight.

Even the look in Xu Lao Ying’s eyes was somewhat complicated.

Looking at Tang Luo’s condition, Ji Fu conjectured that the other party must have undergone a bitter battle of some kind. Even though divine medicines could supplement vitality, to re-cultivate would require healing and an unknown length of time.

So he sneered, “Say what? Wasn’t it you who insisted on entering the Minor Spiritual Realm to rescue them? Can you blame me for your current condition?” “Heh, young Master Ji, do you think I’m talking about my injuries? I want to ask you, where did the Blood Divine Sons in the Minor Spiritual Realm come from, and why are they on such a large scale!?” Tang Luo supported himself on the table and stood up, his eyes reddened as he glared at Ji Fu.

“I’ve never been to the Minor Spiritual Realm. How would I know?” replied Ji Fu coldly. “Perhaps they were a contingency the Demon King left behind in the Minor Spiritual Realm. Who knows what methods the Demon King has!”

In his mind, the Tang Clan was just a local wealthy family from a remote region. Even if they possessed some extraordinary martial powers, their experience must be limited. The fact that they spent twenty million on a Xuanji Jade was a testament to that. Ji Fu did not believe that they could deduce the logic behind the existence of the Blood Divine soul in the Minor Spiritual Realm, so he did not intend to reveal everything.

Tang Luo watched as Ji Fu continued to dodge the question, his intense coughing filling the air.

While Ji Fu remained cold and unmoved, Xu Lao Ying’s face blushed with embarrassment. He said to Ji Fu, “Brother, stop hiding it. If you have any information, share it.”

He was not siding with Ji Fu, but his acute senses detected the overbearing and triumphant manner Tang Luo displayed when speaking with Ji Fu. It seemed that his cousin had a well-thought-out plan. He just didn’t want his brother to lose face later. However, Ji Fu misunderstood Xu Lao Ying’s concern, thinking that his brother-in-law was pleading for Tang Luo, and sighed, “Alright, since brother-in-law speaks for him, I’ll reveal a little. In the Minor Spiritual Realm, in addition to the Demon King who serves as the realm’s guardian spirit, there is another divine soul present.”

“The Soul-binding Formation has the power of controlling divine souls. To awaken the consciousness of demon souls, the strength and uniqueness of the other divine soul become apparent. Probably it was this soul who took control of the Demon King’s backup plan. But since Young Master Tang could rescue everyone out of the Minor Spiritual Realm, the Demon King’s backup must have been eliminated. I happen to have a group of mechanical beasts ideally suited for combat with the Blood Divine puppets. Let me arrange for several craftsmen to enter the Minor Spiritual and carry out the resources.”

Hearing Ji Fu’s anxious arrangement to enter the Minor Spiritual Realm, Tang Luo sneered, “Since young Master Ji is only interested in those resources, then leave the job of killing the divine souls to me.”

As he spoke, Tang Luo changed from his frail state, circulating Innate Qi throughout his body. A strong life force erupted, drawing the attention of both individuals.
