Chapter 1013 -307: Seize the Opportunity (Happy New Year~ The second update might be very late!)
Although Xu Lao Ying did not know what kind of medicine Tang Luo was selling in his gourd, he still activated his Tongyou Intention, and directed this extremely strong sixth sense, specifically adept at probing mysteries, towards Tang Luo, only to be greatly shocked and turn pale.
Clearly a top-tier body cultivator surpassing those of the Fierce Realm, his aura was even weaker than that of an ordinary person—a scenario theoretically impossible—yet it was happening right in front of his eyes, causing Xu Lao Ying to feel somewhat dizzy.
The Retractive Breath Technique, this sort of trick, to be precise, cannot be considered a method of cultivation but a skill to hide one’s aura. At first, it was a way for martial artists to practice and control their breath. Over time, with the continuous refinement of this skill, various sanctuaries developed different methods of retraction. Regardless of the variety, the principle remained the same: a person’s aura, no matter how well concealed, never truly vanishes; it simply becomes condensed and is not dispersed.

It is akin to compressing a ball of cotton, smaller in volume, yet unchanged in mass. Thus, even the most profound Retractive Breath Technique cannot escape detection by the Tongming Sword Body’s Tongyou Intention. Not convinced, Xu Lao Ying strengthened his output of the Tongyou Intention once more. He sensed the Undying Battle Body’s Divine Array within Tang Luo, felt the Void Dual Wheels, the Innate Yin-Yang Grinder, and even perceived a strong malevolent force within the Void Stomach. However, no matter how he searched, he could not find the concealed aura, not even the spiritual energy within his own body had vanished without a trace.
Looking at Xu Lao Ying’s expression, Tang Luo spoke up at just the right moment, indifferently saying, “Open battle naturally requires the Divine Sword to break armor, but for an ambush, with my Retractive Breath Technique, if I approach him silently, do you think a one-hit kill is possible?”
“Have you lost your mind?” Xu Lao Ying said incredulously, “Even if your Retractive Breath Technique is unmatched in the world and capable of a successful ambush, aren’t you afraid this will implicate the entire Tang Clan once exposed?”
“If there were any other choice, who would want to take such risks?” Tang Luo frowned and said coldly, “The Wuyi Sect was originally just an insignificant sect, but now it has received the ordainment of the Dutian Heavenly King and the recognition of the Tai Xuan Dao League—do you comprehend what this signifies?”
Without waiting for Xu Lao Ying to answer, Tang Luo continued, “It means that in the near future, they can expand unchecked, officially and comfortably. With their doctrine, you should understand, ‘In this world and under this heaven, only I am supreme; those who follow prosper, those who oppose perish.’ Ever since the Blood Lion Patriarch took over Hui Ling Mountain, in the region around Min Mountain, there have been over a dozen traditional tribes with hundreds of years of lineage completely wiped out. Those stacked bones between the green mountains and dark waters are all wronged souls fallen to the Wuyi Sect’s blade, never to rest!”
Pointing to the map hanging on the wall in the secret room, where dozens of locations that should have been tribal strongholds had been cross out with a red pen, if Xu Lao Ying, the scion of the Xu Clan, hadn’t been to Beimang and stayed in those tribal strongholds, these red marks would simply represent a group of ignorant tribespeople to him, stirring not the slightest emotion in him. Xu Lao Ying frowned and suddenly felt something pressing uncomfortably against his waist.
“Telling you all this isn’t in an attempt to cloak this assassination plot with notions of philanthropy or justice. I want to kill Wang Chan because what he’s doing now poses a tremendous threat. If Wang Chan’s Wuyi Sect is allowed to develop unchecked in Beimang, sooner or later there will be more severe conflicts, which can’t be resolved by mere planning by that time.”
Xu Lao Ying could feel the determination and decisiveness in Tang Luo as he said these words, as if killing a Saint Child was as easy for him as removing an obstacle from his path. This side of his cousin made Xu Lao Ying feel very uneasy, “Have you not considered that all those who seek to end a war before it starts ultimately only bring greater calamities upon themselves? Haven’t you thought about the turmoil it would cause if the Wang Clan of Longzhou sought retribution?”
“I would rather contend with a bad outcome that can be anticipated than bet my fate on the unknown,” Tang Luo said calmly, “The Wang Clan of Longzhou is very powerful. If this were in the Outer Continent, even with ten thousand times the courage, I wouldn’t resort to such an extreme strategy. But this is Longzhou, this is Beimang. With the right plan, what could the Wang Clan possibly uncover? Throwing out several ambiguous clues is enough to keep them frantic and preoccupied, and the longer time drags on, the harder it will be to investigate the matter.”
Not to mention the investigative abilities of the Wang Clan of Longzhou, just considering such motiveless random killings are the most difficult to solve. After all, in the eyes of the Wang Clan, those with the capability to kill Wang Chan are among the world’s top forces, and these forces would take such a risk only if there were sufficient benefits and reasons to do so. Even if the Wang Clan racked their brains, they would never believe that those who plotted to kill Wang Chan were a few young people.
Whether it was the Tang Clan of Longxi or the Beimang – these small to mid-sized reclusive sects – they all lay in the Wang Clan of Tian Nan’s blind spot, such was the human advantage.
Wang Chan had left Tian Nan for the Outer Continent and assumed a new identity. Now, only four people in Beimang knew that Wang Chan was the leader of the Blood Lion Sect: An Yuanxi of the Dutian Heavenly Kings’ patrol, Ji Fu, Tang Luo, and Elder Xu Ying. Even the Corpse Bone Protector, who had fought with Wang Chan, failed to discern the real identity of the Blood Lion Sect’s leader, such was the geographical advantage.
At this moment, as An Yuanxi led the warriors of the Dutian Heavenly Kings’ patrol to chase after the Corpse Bone Protector and away from Beimang, it was arguably the best opportunity to kill the Saint Child of the Wang Clan of Tian Nan. Within the trois of advantages, only “Heaven’s Timing” was missing. With just a nod from Elder Xu Ying, a perfect assassination could be orchestrated.
Because a long knife capable of penetrating Tian Nan’s foremost Divine Armor would become the most crucial factor in deceiving the Wang Clan of Tian Nan.
Feeling Ji Fu’s anticipation, Elder Xu Ying wore a pained expression, “Must we really go to such lengths?”
“If Wang Chan is willing to develop the Wuyi Sect and then leave Beimang, such drastic measures wouldn’t be necessary,” said Tang Luo with a shrug of his shoulders. “Ultimately, the real decision between slaughter and peace lies with the leader of the Blood Lion Sect in Hui Ling Mountain!”
“But what reason should I give?” Xu Ying replied helplessly. “How can I persuade him to give up the foundation of the Wuyi Sect in Beimang? I can’t just tell him to lay down his butcher’s knife outright, can I?”
“That’s not my problem,” said Tang Luo, shrugging off the matter. “You say he’s your old friend, so figuring out how to convince him is up to you. Just make sure he leaves quietly by any means necessary. How about it?”
“Old Wang… he’s very stubborn. If he doesn’t want to do something, even Uncle Wang from the Wang Clan can’t do anything about it.”
Thinking of Wang Chan’s personality, Elder Xu Ying was torn. After hesitating for a long time, he clenched his teeth and said, “I’ll give it a try!”
“It’s rare to see you so serious.”
With a teasing remark, Tang Luo once again turned serious towards Elder Xu Ying, “Of the four current young Saint Kings, Bu Xiao is still confined at Reflection Cliff for several more years, Yankong’s ‘Relic Golden Body’ was broken by you and his whereabouts are unknown as he recovers. Right now is the best time for you to nurture your power and surpass them all, yet you hide out in a mud fort living like a common peasant. Don’t you think that’s too much of a waste?”
