YM778.TV Chapter 419 - 415: Wind Media Department
“The death of Mi Chu would surely enrage the Mi Family, but such anger would be tightly restrained by rationality. The southern new city is unstable now and needs a large number of warriors to guard it. In this incident, aside from a few loyal vassal families, almost no one would choose to side with the Mi Family. The nine prestigious families of Xiling would watch from the sidelines. The astute Xiao Family, I believe, would not make a foolish move in this matter.” Tang Luo was very confident, as his judgment wasn’t solely based on his own estimates but was derived from collating all the information held by the Wind Media Department. If Mi Chu dared to make a move, then he is simply seeking his own death.
Unless Supreme Mi Yang, driven mad by rage, fights to the death and gets killed, only then would the Mi Family, bereft of its present and future, plunge into complete madness and fight desperately.
However, it’s not easy to kill a peak-level warrior in the Fierce Realm.
Putting away that unrealistic dream in his heart, Tang Luo continued speaking, Unless the Mi family wants mutual destruction, they will have to exhaust centuries of their family’s foundation if the fight continues. It is impossible for such a decision to pass the Elder Council of the Mi Family. Given these factors, turmoil will certainly not break out in Xiling in the short run. Once the fight starts, how could it end in less than three to five years? Listen to me, you should first go to treat your injuries. I assure you that when you return from your journey of over twenty thousand miles, your children will be safe in Xiling under my care. The chariot can cover the distance in about forty days. It’s better that you accept this and make your journey quickly.”
“Th’s ” Returnlng his gaze to his empty sleeve, Scholar gritted his teeth and
replied: “I humbly accept your generosity.”
Who would want to live as a cripple if they had the chance to restore themselves? After being persuaded by Tang Luo’s rational arguments and emotional appeals, Mi Bai finally relented and agreed to proceed with the plan. “I trust the kids in your care, Brother Tang.” Mi Bai stood up and bowed deeply to Tang Luo in appreciation.
“No need to be so polite,” Tang Luo shookhis head helplessly, helpingMi Bai up.
Actually, his time was limited. After making arrangements for Mi Bai, he still had one important matter to attend. He believed that after witnessing the battle of Jianglin, it could convince the strong individual wavering outside of Xiling to return. This was because everyone in Xiling believed a war between the two clans was imminent and had to either pick a side or flee.
Before the war, no one would let any clan planning to watch from the sidelines go. They either have to pledge allegiance or leave. This critical decision must now be made by the smaller clans.
The biggest difference from these clans was that there was one force in Xiling which simply could not leave. So, they had no other choice than to submit.
Once they leave Red Cloud Mountain, the martial path of the whole clan would be cut off. In all of Longzhou, within a hundred thousand miles, there was no other mountain range composed entirely of Red Cloud Crystals.
This meant that Du Sha, the head of Red Cloud Village, had to make a decision fast.
Tang Luo took Mi Bai straight to the Martial Hall. After picking up a guardian mission, he pushed Scholar into the war chariot. As for the group of children, they were directly placed in charity house. Although Tang Luo no longer held the status of a sect elder, his provisions remained unchanged. Arranging a small courtyard and a couple of housekeepers and cooks was an easy task for Tang Luo.
After finishing all these tasks, Tang Luo rushed directly to the Wind Media Department. He wanted to get a sense of the situation on the battlefield outside of Jianglin. Although he received a message from the Battle Hall saying neither of the clans had sent any additional forces to Jianglin, and both were exercising restraint, he wished to confirm the details. After all, his father, Tang Sen, was in the center of the battlefield, squaring off against the supreme entity of the Mi Family. Nobody could tell what might happen.
The Wind Media Department of Tang Clan has a division in the Martial Hall. It was located next to the Secret Arts Pavilion, and the underground passage led to either side. Therefore, whenever Tang Luo wanted to change his mood, he would roam to the other side and combine work and leisure by checking the gossip. This time, due to the Great War of Jianglin, the entire Wind Media Department of the Tang Clan was bustling like a clockwork toy. The moment he stepped into the Wind Media Department, waves of chaotic news rushed towards him.
There were hundreds of Wind Media members entering and leaving, and a huge volume of information was exchanged inside the main hall, as chaotic as a vegetable market.
“Martial Ancestor Tang Fei Peng was hit by a Combined Attack Technique and suffered heavy injuries, activating Xuanji Jade. His location is unknown. Urgent!”
“Martial Ancestor Tang Rong Bo was ambushed by Mi Hai and had his spiritual armor shattered. Activated Xuanji Jade, location unknown.”
Martial Ancestor Tang Jun Xiong lost his arm against Mi Jian Xing. Activated Xuanji Jade, at the east of Xiling.”
“Martial Ancestor Tang Cen was heavily injured by an ambush from Mi Yang. Activated Xuanji Jade, location unknown. Urgent!”
“Sect Head Tang Sen was hit hard by Mi Yang but suffered only minor injuries!” “Sect Head Tang Sen was ambushed from behind by Mi Hai but suffered only minor injuries!”
Sect Head Tang Sen was ambushed by a Combined Attack Technique but evaded underground and suffered only minor injuries!”
In such a bustling situation, Tang Luo did not disturb anyone. He stood silently in a corner of the main hall, sifting through the chaos of information to find the details he needed to know.
In these exchanges, the four most splendid people on the battlefield of Jianglin were Tang Sen, Tang Siyuan, Mi Hai, and Mi Yang.
In the fierce battle involving the sixty-four strong Fierce Realm figures, it practically became a stage for the four of them. In the chaotic clashes, only they could frequently cause effective casualties and force the others to activate their Xuanji Jade.
Historically, wars have always been about capturing resources, especially when the rich houses fight against each other. The Fierce Realm warriors play a pivotal role. However, why it becomes so is because of a product of the Xuanji Sect.
For rich houses like Tang and Mi, the five-million-yuan Xuanji Jade was essentially a standard armament for Fierce Realm warriors. The ability to activate a teleportation array that could cover a hundred miles distance by infusing ten-thousand points of spiritual power could give the Fierce Realm warriors a chance to escape if they were not killed in one hit.
During a war involving dozens of Fierce Realm warriors, the aim was not actually to kill, but to shatter more spiritual armors and force out more Xuanji Jades, as this war of attrition would surely consume resources. Thanks to centuries of plundering, both clans had amassed deep reserves. The Xuanji Jade, which was a rare treasure for ordinary clans, was purchased by these two clans by the hundreds each time, and this would happen every year.
Fierce Realm warriors equipped with spiritual armor and Xuanji Jade were hard to take down. However, every time they were defeated, they lost at least five million yuan. Some lightly injured Fierce Realm warriors would consume a Life Creation Pill on their way back. If their spiritual armor was still intact, they would directly return to the battlefield. If their spiritual armor was shattered, they would go back to the Martial Hall to re-equip it.
The Xuanji Jade, spiritual armor, and Life Creation Pill were supplied in limitless quantity during the war.
Such logistics support allowed the warriors of the rich houses to fight fearlessly and passionately!
The situation in Jianglin was very tense. Sect Head Tang Sen was frequently attacked. But in terms of spiritual power, his current count of 35 thousand points was one of the lowest in the battle at Jianglin.
This meant he had a slower recovery, longer interval between attacks. After all, every Fierce Realm warrior can fly. The stronger the spiritual power, the faster’ they can fly. It was well known that nobody should engage in close combat with Tang Sen. Thus, there were a lot of surprise attacks.
