Chapter 1700: Chapter 139: Fixed Penalty and Thinking

Using the spiritual energy of the wooden yi envelops Yiqi Heavenly Dragon in the execution of the escape technique, which slows down the speed, but the grandmasters of Little Miasma Peak couldn’t care less about that now.

If initial doubts persisted about the identity of the ambushers upon first encountering the Fuling Star Domain, then once the opponent openly appears, unnecessary speculation need not continue.

The newcomer is undoubtedly the Void Grandmaster himself, targeting Yiqi Heavenly Dragon for the head of the Tang Family’s evils, naturally.

Although people in the world say that the Tang Clan has its own ways of seeking death, for Tang Luo, who grew up from childhood in the Tang Clan, this stance clearly doesn’t hold up.

Good and evil are ultimately relative concepts; the only thing Lei Gongteng could do was to rescue Yiqi Heavenly Dragon.

As for defeating the Void Grandmaster, that was something he didn’t even dare to think about.

As one of the grandmasters who has thoroughly studied the properties of the void spiritual body, Little Miasma Peak is well aware that among the current grandmasters, apart from a few freaks at the top, the rest would simply end up getting nothing by confronting Tang Luo.

It’s not that their martial arts aren’t sufficient or their spirit arts aren’t sharp; it’s simply that the characteristics of the void spiritual body are troublesome.

Since the Demon Race was driven out, the martial arts of the Human Race have shifted from combating monsters to calculating among themselves.

For the Human Race, a twice qualitative change at the pinnacle of spiritual power can already cause sufficient destruction.

For a thrice qualitative change, even at the grandmaster level, one must handle it with care.

An easy example is that the sophisticated spirit art models publicly acknowledged in the martial arts circles of Xiehe are all judged based on the endurance at the early stages of a thrice qualitative change combined with the fastest standard of forming.

Just like his wooden dragon descending sky array, where each wooden dragon, absorbing the spirit of Qingmu through the spirit seeds imbued with his own true spirit, matches the killing power of a spirit art at the pinnacle of the Mysterious State, with some particularly infused with effort reaching the level of a thrice qualitative change.

For any other grandmaster, being trapped in the Qingmu Domain cutting off the Primary Qi supply and bombarded with wooden dragons would at least result in an expended foundation and a damaged spiritual body.

But for the void spiritual body, this killer move is merely scratching through boots, utterly ineffective.

What’s the point of fighting then? Transforming the killer moves to block the enemy, a sky full of wood shavings and flower barriers became the best cover, protecting him and Yiqi Heavenly Dragon as they made their departure.

He had to return to the Divine Mountain as quickly as possible and report the encounter with the Void Grandmaster outside to those inside the mountain.

Medicine God Sect, Suspending Pot Peak

The expressions of Medicine God Sect elders were not pleasant upon hearing that the supposedly confined Void Grandmaster had ambushed their Dao Child outside Apricot Yellow City.

As the holy land of Xiehe’s healers, the practice in the Divine Sect was more for extending life and testing medicine than for combat, and Little Miasma Peak was the one line in the sect dedicated to combat.

But according to Lei Gongteng’s words, even if the Medicine King of the sect took action, the opponent could come and go as he pleased.

If he was intent on targeting Yiqi Heavenly Dragon, apart from the sect’s Mountain Protection Array, there was simply no way to block him.

If it were only the Void Grandmaster, the Divine Sect would be worried, but relying on the connections accumulated over the years, restraining him wouldn’t be too difficult.

Yet it happened to involve that figure from Middle Ying City; just like the last time the Void Grandmaster rushed to support Longzhou, Xu Lang’s decree had just been broken, and then the news spread throughout Xiehe.

But this time with Tang Luo’s appearance, there was not a single piece of news in Yuanzhou, which they could not believe that the Void Grandmaster could pass that person’s restrictions silently; could this mean that the person actually supports the actions of the Void Grandmaster?

Listening to the elders continuously speculate on Xu Lang’s intentions, the face of Medicine God Sect leader Jiang Fushen grew increasingly disappointed.

"Medicine kills the evil heads of Tang Clan, Heavenly Dragon’s virtue is faultless, if Xu Lang uses his cultivation and status to oppress the just and support the wicked, even at the cost of a Pyrrhic victory, we must uphold the righteous path of humanity!"

Facing the potential malice of a Saint King, it is normal to be afraid, but as a healer, one must be clear about what is right and what is evil.

The so-called righteous path of the human world is not always strong, not always fearless, but even if afraid, even if in decline, one must know what they are protecting.

The elders on the peak, upon hearing the sect leader’s declaration, felt overwhelmingly ashamed and echoed his words, expressing their willingness to sacrifice their heads and shed their blood for the righteous human path.

After that, there was the report about Lei Gongteng killing Yiqi Tianlong, Fu Baibu, Fu Dongqing, and Fu Yuanzhi without permission.

If this had happened before, even with the protection of Yiqi’s lineage, Yiqi Tianlong would not have been able to escape being demoted from the position of Dao Child.

But now, with the assassination by the Void Grandmaster, if they immediately removed the Dao Child’s position, it would inevitably seem like showing weakness to Xu Lang.

After much discussion, the dilemma was once again thrown onto Sect Leader Jiang Fushen.

"According to the sect’s laws, fellow disciples must not kill each other. As a Dao Child of the Divine Sect, Yiqi Tianlong should have set an example, yet he blatantly disregarded the prohibition and committed murder."

"According to the rules, remove his position as Dao Child, and additionally punish him to face the wall in contemplation for twenty years at Suspending Pot Peak, communicating this decision to the entire sect, effective immediately!"

...

Although he did not capture Yiqi Tianlong, Tang Luo was in high spirits.

Originally, the trip to Zhongzhou was because the path to becoming king was blocked, and having little confidence in the promise of his fellow clan members, he decided to take a shortcut by targeting the Dao Child of the Medicine God Sect.

But now that he has found a new path, the original plan can continue without having to stubbornly follow plan B.

Ambushing the Dao Child of the Medicine God Sect and kidnapping him is easy, but the hard part is how to survive the aftermath.

If the path to kingship is not found, then Tang Luo could focus all his energy on dealing with the countermeasures of the Medicine God Sect, but now that he has found the path, such recklessness is unnecessary.

Often, a problem remains unsolved because one’s vision, means, or strength is insufficient.

Your problem could easily be solved by another person.

As for now, to make Yiqi Tianlong comply, the only hope lies in Yun Xiu’s Charming Eyes, which is actually a very crude solution, as it involves a lot of uncertainties.

For example, what if the Charming Eyes fail?

What if Yun Xiu gets injured by Yiqi Tianlong during the application of the eye technique?

Of course, if the path to kingship is blocked, taking some risks is necessary, but now there’s another path, so it’s not necessary anymore.

After all, not every member of the Medicine God Sect is a greenhorn like Yiqi Tianlong; if the youngest grandmaster from Xiehe is not enough to make the Divine Sect bow its head, then the youngest Human King of Xiehe should surely be enough.

So, once he breaks through to become king, all current difficulties will no longer be difficulties!

And regarding how the black orb should perceive the world, he had gained some enlightenment.

That is to enter the void and see, not to mention the distant ones, isn’t the bright moon just a spherical body constantly revolving around Xiehe?

And all those countless celestial bodies hanging in the sky, aren’t they all spherical bodies, too? If you can’t invent it yourself, can’t you just copy?

Said and done, the Void Grandmaster soared up with the wind, pierced open the heavens, and plunged into the vast void to start observing.
