Chapter 1540 - Chapter 1540 Chapter 31 The Secret Buried for a Thousand

Chapter 1540: Chapter 31: The Secret Buried for a Thousand Years Chapter 1540: Chapter 31: The Secret Buried for a Thousand Years “No, absolutely not!”

Illusory Grandmaster Liu Miaotian slammed the table and glared, fuming, “The foundation our ancestors established over a thousand years, just abandoned like that, Liu Tang, do you realize what you are doing!?”

“I’m very clear about what I’m doing.”

Liu Tang’s expression remained calm as his gaze swept over the Liu Family Masters and the various elders in the council hall.

In the eyes of these key members of the Liu Clan, dissatisfaction and devastation were prominent, and even among the few supportive glances, there was reluctance.

As the head of the Liu Clan, Liu Tang naturally understood the immense backlash he would face for persuading his clan to abandon their ancestral lands, but it was something that had to be done by someone.

“Gentlemen, accept the reality! Chuanyuan City has already become a land devoid of Spiritual Power. Is it better to languish in past glory and decline slowly or to let go of pride and seek new opportunities for our people? This choice shouldn’t be complicated.”

Liu Tang straightened his back and said in a deep voice, “As long as Liu Tang is in charge, he will not let the glory of the Liu Clan fade away with Chuanyuan City!”

The members of the Liu Clan fell silent. They too knew that Chuanyuan City was no longer suitable for the Liu Clan warriors to reside in unless they entirely changed their main vein techniques to those that require Evil Qi; otherwise, the intertwining of Evil Qi with Spiritual Power alone could sever the path of their cultivation.

Like Liu Tang said, a tree dies when it’s moved, but a person thrives when they do. Since Chuanyuan is unsuitable, why not leave?

But they were the proud Chuanyuan of the Liu Clan, even considered one of the prominent noble families throughout Xiehe; now they had to move like a defeated dog elsewhere, even the rational elders found it difficult to manage, let alone the ordinary clan members.

And beyond that, migration posed a very practical issue–where to relocate.

Elder Liu Ji looked at Liu Tang, his voice filled with sorrow, “Longzhou is inherently a wild land. Apart from the Divine Mountain Kunwu, the richest are Chuanyuan and Da Lin. It’s because of this fertile land that the Liu Clan was able to nurture two million clan members. If we abandon this land, where shall the two million of the Liu Clan go?”

“I’ve already discussed a new location for the Liu Clan with the other two families.”

Liu Tang pointed decisively at the large-scale sand table map of Longzhou in the middle of the council, directing his finger towards Longzhou West: “Clan Nong and Clan He will fully support our rule over Chaochang, and in exchange, the Liu Clan will also support Clan Nong and Clan He’s rule over both shores of Lingjiang!”

“This… might not be appropriate!”

Illusory Grandmaster Liu Miaotian hesitated slightly, “During this Longzhou invasion of Tang, the Evil King Palace was both the organizer and the main force; would they agree to us getting so many benefits?”

The attendees also nodded frequently. Not to mention Lingjiang Seven Cities, Chaochang was a truly affluent place. As the largest port on the southern shore of Longzhou, although it didn’t have the gleaming farmland like Lin Chuan, its commercial potential was still very prominent.

Although it was now in need of revitalization, once the Liu Clan strongly settled there, it wouldn’t take thirty to fifty years to return to prosperity.

However, the Liu Clan still had to consider others, like the Evil King Palace and the Da Lin Commerce Alliance.

The decline of Chuanyuan City delighted Da Lin the most, as no one could threaten their position as the granary of Longzhou anymore.

Especially after incorporating so many underground forces in Xiehe, the Da Lin Commerce Alliance now definitely had both money and manpower.

Moreover, Ye Qingcang had coveted Chaochang not just for a day or two; to relocate smoothly, the Liu Clan needed to overcome several obstacles.

But having just been through the Great Battle of Chuanyuan, even Liu Miaotian himself doubted whether the Liu Clan could win these challenges.

…

Halfway up the mountain perpetually covered in snow, the foot of the mountain a spring season all year round. Lingxiao enters the cloud top, ten miles unlike the sky.

Thanks to the blessing of the highest peak of Beimang, Lingxiao Sect was naturally imbued with a spirit of arrogance that soared above the clouds.

Even those who had never been to Beimang must have heard of the great name of Lingxiao Peak.

Many warriors, after being able to fly in the Fierce Realm, made it a point to visit Beimang, just to behold the magnificence of Lingxiao Peak.

However, Tang Luo was inherently not a romantic person. Instead of appreciating the grandeur of the divine peak, he was more curious about whether, if the power like a roaring bell was fully unleashed, it could trigger a landslide and bury the entire Lingxiao Sect.

Perhaps his gaze was too curious, his expression too dangerous, Dao Child Ji Chen frequently looked back and advised, hoping Tang Luo would abandon his perilous thoughts.

“It seems I’m not the only one curious about this.”

Facing the wind and snow, Tang Luo asked with a smile, “Has anyone successfully attempted it?”

“Void Grandmaster is joking!”

Ji Chen spoke earnestly, “No one would dare to act recklessly on Lingxiao Peak.”

Standing in the void, Dao Child of Lingxiao Sect pointed towards the distant peak shrouded in white tips and told Tang Luo, “This area is the forbidden land of Lingxiao Sect. Dao Child Ji Chen can only escort you here; the Master’s abode is just ahead. Please proceed there on your own.”

“Thank you, Dao Child Ji Chen.”

Tang Luo smiled, bowed, and no longer dwelled on that dangerous thought, flying away.

…

Countless millennia of ice had sealed the mountain’s original appearance.

As if in a world of ice and snow, Tang Luo walked on the frozen land toward the secluded ice cave in the distance.

Although he did not know why the Sect Master of Lingxiao wanted to meet him in this place, since Clan Ji had generously arranged the spring eye of Heavenly Pond for him, he could not refuse.

Stepping into the ice cave, the light around seemed to be drawn away, with only a faint white light ahead guiding the path, dreamy and illusory.

Tang Luo was not nervous; he followed the white light for hundreds of steps. Suddenly, his view widened as if he were in an infinite starry sky, with the Milky Way above him and countless bright stars falling beside him.
