Chapter 997 -Two Hundred Ninety-One: Reunion
He had stayed in the tribe for only half a day when a servant from the Ji Clan arrived at Mount Taicang, saying he was to take Tang Luo to the Lingxiao Sect to meet the Saint Child. Along the way, the young man occasionally used his peripheral vision to size up Tang Luo, as if to confirm that the person before him was indeed Longxi’s Pride, as rumored.
Tang Luo knew that the other party must have been intimidated by his towering stature, especially since his Xuanwu Earth Level Undying Body was on the verge of being strengthened to the limit by the Innate Qi, and he had undergone a slight change in physique. Even disciples from well-informed sects would probably be startled upon seeing him.
With a helpless shake of his head, he fondly recalled how, years ago, he had been a handsome and genteel young master from a noble family, the kind whose physique seemed slim in clothes but was actually muscular beneath them.
But now, he stood tall like a giant, with muscles bulging as if they were about to burst through his wide cloak, and his long arms that extended past his knees were even thicker than the envoy’s thighs. Even robust men who practiced body refining seemed like delicate maidens next to him, which explained the look in the other party’s eyes.
Sailing on the wind for a short while, they arrived atop Lingxiao Peak. The disciples of the Lingxiao Sect, having received the news, gathered at the welcoming platform, eager to catch a glimpse of the true face of the First Divine Child of Ten Thousand Clans.
However, when the envoy brought Tang Luo onto the platform, there was nothing but a chorus of gasps of astonishment.
He felt as if he could hear the sound of many disciples’ hearts breaking, for the Longxi’s Pride of everyone’s imagination was expected to be a graceful and refined young master. The sudden sight of such a strong man as himself undoubtedly led to some disappointment.
Enduring the discomfort of being watched, he followed the envoy into the main hall of the Lingxiao Sect, where he finally saw the Ji Clan’s Ji Fu, whom he had not seen for several years. The very first sight of him took Tang Luo by surprise.
For the man before him differed so much from the Ji Fu he remembered!
Years ago, while he had been a slender young master, Ji Fu was a massive, powerful man. He vividly recalled the unrivalled domineering presence of Ji Fu holding a pair of maces against a sky filled with sword spirits.
But now, dressed in a long robe, Ji Fu appeared like a refined scholar, with all the imposing aura from his brow seemingly dissolved into tranquility. Although he had already unlocked his Divine Storage, which ran powerful as a dragon and pumped like a divine heart, his complexion was pale as if he were an anemic patient.
Seeing the surprise in Tang Luo’s eyes, Ji Fu smiled and said, “It’s been years; has Brother Tang forgotten what Ji Fu looks like?”
“I haven’t forgotten, but Brother Ji has changed so much, I hardly dare to recognize you,” Tang Luo said with a sense of helplessness.

“Brother Tang is no different. In just a few years, Longxi’s Pride shook Bifang Mountain with his fists and fought the Lesser Saint Kings to a standstill. Even I, in seclusion within my sect, have heard of these feats!” Ji Fu praised.
“It’s just some empty fame,” Tang Luo replied indifferently. “If Brother Ji were to come out of seclusion, there wouldn’t be just four Lesser Saint Kings in the world!”
In the past, Tang Luo had never taken Ji Fu seriously, even though he possessed an Earth Level Grade One Undying Bloodline. To Tang Luo, a martial artist who naively believed that his bloodline could make him invincible was nothing more than a slave to that bloodline, and such people would never truly achieve greatness.
If this had been before, upon hearing about his unparalleled exploits and his draw with Wang Chan, Ji Fu would likely have been the first to issue a challenge.
Because at that time, Ji Fu’s pride was built upon the glorious past of the Han Family and the Earth Level bloodline, he needed to prove through battle that he was stronger than other Divine Sons, that the Han Family was stronger than any other Holy Land.
It was less a matter of pride than it was a naive young man safeguarding his twisted sense of self-esteem, but the Ji Fu of today has changed.
Underneath that calm and composed exterior was an absolute confidence in his own strength, Ji Fu no longer needed to prove himself to others, for his very existence was the best proof of the Han Family’s superiority.
This sort of confidence, unrivaled in this world, Tang Luo had only felt from Bu Xiao. Although they had not clashed, he could already be certain that the now rosier-looking Ji Fu had become unfathomable.
Everyone is fighting tooth and nail to grow. Tang Luo couldn’t help but sigh inwardly; often, one falls behind not because of a lack of effort, but simply because the pace of progress is not fast enough.
Who could have imagined that in just a few short years, the least promising of them could take a shortcut and overtake the others? The Earth Level Undying Bloodline on the Ji Fu of a few years ago was nothing special, but on the Ji Fu of today, it is more terrifying than some Heaven-level Bloodlines!
“Tang Brother is too kind. If not for the trip to Xiling, Ji Fu might still be muddling along, unable to see himself clearly. Although I lost the Minor Spiritual Realm, having met my sworn brother and formed an alliance with the Tang Clan, I consider it a great gain,” Ji Fu said.
Even when compared to a young Saint King, Ji Fu showed no emotional fluctuation, but instead showed concern for Elder Xu’s achievements, “I heard that my sworn brother decreed the extermination of Buddhism in Yuanzhou with the Emperor’s Void Phoenix Divine Sword on Martial Saint Mountain, was it because he felt aggrieved?”
“Not at all; it was just that Buddha Son Yankong was trapped by a scheme and initiated an empowerment. My cousin acted on impulse and issued the decree to exterminate Buddhism in Yuanzhou. Now that the issue has been resolved with the mediation of the Martial Saint and the Dutian Heavenly King’s patrol, Yuanzhou’s Xu Clan and the Buddha’s Country in Zhongzhou have both calmed down, which is a good thing.”
As Tang Luo was explaining the ins and outs of the matter to Ji Fu, he saw a bold and martial young man stride directly into the hall, “This is good for the Buddha’s Country and the Xu Clan, and for the people of the world, but not for us.”
The sudden evaluation drew the attention of the two men in the hall. Tang Luo turned his head and inquired of Ji Fu, “Who is this?”
“This is Lingxiao Sect’s current walker, Ji Chen,” Ji Fu introduced to Tang Luo, “also one of the most outstanding disciples of the Ji Clan of this generation, with the qualifications of a king!”
“The Divine Son overpraises me!” said the proud and martial young man, bowing respectfully to Ji Fu before turning to Tang Luo and saying, “Ji Chen has seen Longxi’s Pride!”
Returning the gesture, Tang Luo said indifferently, “You just said that this is not good news for us, what do you mean?”
“As Longxi’s Pride surely understands, for the Ji Clan to reclaim their surname, a battle with Zhongzhou is inevitable, and the first to be confronted will be the Wuxiang Zen Temple and the An Family Divine Dynasty,” Ji Chen replied. “Had the Buddha’s Country in Zhongzhou clashed with Yuanzhou’s Xu Clan, it would have provided great convenience for our cause. But now, with the calming intervention of Martial Saint Mountain and the Dutian Heavenly King’s patrol, how could that be good news?”
Pausing for a moment, Ji Chen suddenly asked Tang Luo, “Only in great chaos can dragons and snakes rise together to redefine the heavens and the earth. But now, with the world in peace, calm as dead water, it might be easy for the Han Family to see the light of day again, but to restore their reign in Zhongzhou is but a fool’s dream. What do you think, Tang Tianjiao?”
“You’re a young man with very dangerous ideas,” Tang Luo said.
“Thank you for the compliment, Tianjiao,” Ji Chen replied indifferently, “In truth, the Tang Clan should be even more aware of this than I am. If not for that sudden disaster, how could the nobility have seized control of Lingjiang Seven Cities so swiftly and risen to become a top power in Longzhou?”
