Chapter 1090 - Chapter 1090 Chapter 384 Xiang Familys West Camp

Chapter 1090: Chapter 384: Xiang Family’s West Camp Chapter 1090: Chapter 384: Xiang Family’s West Camp The nearly dilapidated wheelchair stopped right below the military camp, and Brother Tian turned to face Tang Luo, bending down to place his palm on the lower abdomen of his younger brother and extracted the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul.

Above was the array’s light screen that enveloped the entire camp, but for Brother Tian with the Divine Artifact in hand, it was no different from his own backyard.

Pressing the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul against the light screen, the pure white, slender cloud threads suddenly changed color, matching the screen’s color exactly. With a light touch from Brother Tian’s hand, the array’s light screen that covered the whole camp was opened with a hole large enough for one person to pass through.

After giving the younger brother on the wheelchair a look, Brother Tian dove into the formation and silently emerged in a deserted corner of the military camp’s parade ground.

Blended with the shadow under the enhancement of Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul, Brother Tian became as faint as a shadow in the night, barely noticeable even if he stood right before someone, unless they looked closely.

And once the distance increased, even the soul lock of the Fierce Realm would become unstable, let alone the naked eye of a martial artist.

With the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul, Brother Tian was the Ghost Assassin that Chaochang feared, but without it, he was merely an outstanding warrior who had shed the common.

The shadow moved through the camp as if it was empty, finally stopping outside the brightly lit big tent.

The tent protected by numerous warriors in front and behind must be the heart of the military camp, and the bright lights indicated that there were many people waiting inside.

Who else could be the one that the upper echelons of the Xiang Family Army treated with such solemnity, if not the prisoner currently being escorted on the road?

The shadow that was Brother Tian approached the tent under the watchful eyes of the vigilant warriors. As soon as he got close, he heard the intense discussion inside.

The Xiang Family Army had four camps, stationed in the four directions of Chaochang, also known as the Four Camps, and Brother Tian was currently in the West Camp. Seated inside the tent were the young clan lord Xiang Loulan and the various officers of the West Camp.

The West Camp’s commanding officer, Xiang Guang, was the one speaking angrily, and the reason for his anger was that tonight’s Xiang Family was in a complete mess.

“I still can’t understand, for just a Ghost Assassin, why must the clan mobilize such a force, not to mention inviting a Grandmaster from Yulin Pavilion, but all the Four Camps are put to action, along with the thirty-plus security posts within the city, thousands of warriors who had shed the common, and more than twenty Fierce Realm powerhouses, it’s all just to capture a remnant of the Yun Family. Such a grandiose display, yet the person has not been caught, what is this all for!?”

The commanding officer was angered, and naturally, his venting was directed at the young clan lord Xiang Loulan seated in the position of honor. If it wasn’t for the clan lord’s personal order, the West Camp would never accept such a near-farcical command.

If they could achieve a good outcome, everyone would be pleased, but a great effort that only netted a fat chef from an alley was hard to accept.

The one who lost his temper was the commanding officer, but all the West Camp’s commanders were dissatisfied. For such unplanned and sudden actions, even they, as career soldiers, did not appreciate it.

The key issue was that for these generals well-studied in military strategy, mobilizing soldiers follows a supreme guiding principle: when engaging the enemy, one must act with caution, move when there is an advantage, halt when there is none, and take care not to act rashly.

The law states: Be immovable like a mountain!

This kind of reckless action without returns would not only erode the soldiers’ morale but also produce doubt among them, something a good warrior would never resort to.

Feeling the sudden tenseness in the big tent, Xiang Loulan knew that if he couldn’t provide a reasonable explanation to these senior members of the clan, his father would certainly face impeachment at the clan meeting, so he quickly spoke to pacify them, “Please, Uncle and all others here, don’t be angry.”

Xiang Loulan explained, “If it were just for capturing a Ghost Assassin, there would be no need to mobilize the elite forces from all four camps, but this person possesses a shocking secret treasure, and that is why our clan has gone to such lengths!”

“Because the Yun Family’s ancestor, when he first discovered the solidified Minor Spirit Realm beneath Chaochang, created this drainage and water supply system with just one half of it, and there is still another half!”

“Another half!?”

The officers of the West Camp looked at each other in disbelief, because the information Xiang Loulan had provided was too astounding.

Just the drainage and water supply system underneath Chaochang seemed to them a marvel of divine ingenuity, yet now they learned that it was only half of the solidified Minor Spirit Realm. What mysterious creation could the other half be?

“My father learned from studying ancient Yun Clan texts that this other half of the Minor Spirit Realm had once been an ancient Chaochang city’s refuge, with sprawling secret passages and chambers! And after the grand rise of the Human Race, this other half of the Minor Spirit Realm was held by the Yun Family as their highest legacy. The Yun Zu’s secret treasure and the Heishang merchant’s lost treasure, which we have never found, might be hidden within these Minor Spirit Realm passages!”

Why would the Xiang Family go to such great lengths and fully mobilize for just a Ghost Assassin that was a remnant of the Yun Clan?

Given the Xiang Family’s current martial strength, let alone the Yun Family, which was barely clinging to life as a vassal, even if they made a full appearance, what could they possibly do?

The excitement was simply about finding the Yun Clan’s secret treasures because the Xiang Family’s inheritance was, in fact, incomplete!

The so-called treasury contained nothing but the Yun Clan’s trade manuals and ancient rare books.

Legend had it that the gold accumulated by the Yun Clan was enough to build a city, which the Xiang Family had never seen.

The writings of the invincible Yun Zu, the Xiang Family had also not laid eyes on.

Nor was there any trace of the legendary Heishang merchant who dominated the world.

Even the Yun Family’s hereditary manuals were only complete up to Soul Casting and just before Martial Ancestor. They had gained nothing of the subsequent legacy!

The Xiang Family, having already tasted the sweetness of the Yun Family heritage, only wanted to dig deeper. Even if these secret treasures weren’t in the Spirit World Passage, capturing the Ghost Assassin to obtain the Spirit Print of the passage, the Xiang Family would be able to stand invincible in Chaochang!

By then, the Xiang Family would truly be the dominator of Chaochang, and then, all they had to do was wait for a King Realm powerhouse to emerge, and they could rightfully become the rulers of Chaochang!

When the time came, the entire world would be at one’s service, which was probably the situation of the Xiang Family. Originally reliant on the resources of the Yun Clan, the Xiang Family never thought that one day, not only could they become the masters, but they could also sit on the Yun Clan’s millennium of wealth and secrets, skyrocketing to the status of the top tycoons of Longzhou.

And having come this far, the Xiang Family would not be content. They would have to completely consume the Yun Family to be satisfied.

No matter how the outside world portrayed the Xiang Family as righteous, the members of the Xiang Family knew in their hearts that from twenty-odd years ago when they took over Chaochang, the Yun Family and the Xiang Family were no longer kin. It was a life-or-death situation between them.

Having just managed to calm the officers of the West Camp with the news of the other half of the Minor Spirit Realm, Xiang Loulan let out a sigh of relief, only to see the commanding officer enter the tent and report loudly, “Report, the troops of the first camp have taken the prisoner to the camp’s outskirts, please give your orders on how to deal with him!”
