Chapter 207 - 207: Two Hundred and Three: Solution

Translator: 549690339 |

Tang Luo turned to Xu Shuhui and asked, “Mother, do you wish for my cousin to spill less blood?”

Xu Shuhui nodded her head.

He then turned his head to Xu Laoying and said, “Do you want to spread the prestige of the Xu Clan and win people over sincerely?”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

In Tang Luo’s view, there wasn’t any conflict between the two requests. A change in approach could unify both objectives.

“It’s simple. Before entering the stage, issue a challenge letter.” Tang Luo looked at Xu Laoying brightly, “Since you want the noble families of Xihng to yield, write it explicitly in the challenge letter. Acceptance of the challenge will be unique to each clan, each family choosing only one representative. If you win, the family will acknowledge your superiority.”

“But if you lose, you must represent the Xu Family and genuinely submit to the family that defeated you!”

You can’t just beat someone to the ground, step on their head, and ask them to submit. Martial artists have blood and honour. Even if someone genuinely fears you, you can’t just force them to submit.

If Xu Laoying wanted to subdue the five hundred counties of Longzhou, no matter how many he killed with his current methods, he wouldn’t achieve his goal.

How many martial artists have transcended the Mortal Realm in Longzhou? Ten million or twenty million? If he intended to kill everyone who resisted, he’d never leave Longzhou in his lifetime.

If he intended to overpower Longzhou, he must face the consequences of failure and represent the holy Xu Clan, acknowledging a civilian family.

Justice is about balancing equal weights on both sides of the scale. If you want others’ dignity, you must wager your own dignity too.

This is fair. Are you ready? Tang Luo looked directly into Xu Laoying’s eyes, his intent clearly conveyed.

Before Xu Laoying could answer, Xu Shuhui interjected anxiously, “No way!” Knowing her son’s daring personality, Xu Shuhui was still startled by his suggestion. To have the holy land submit to a civilian family was akin to demanding an emperor kneels before his subjects.

Those daring to propose such an idea were unfortunate for the holy land. If the Xu Clan heard of it, she couldn’t imagine how the stubborn Elders Council

would view this child.

Despite Xu Shuhui’s interruption, Tang Luo gave her a reassuring look before continuing expressionlessly to Xu Laoying, “If you, the holy land, genuinely regard defeat as submission, then, if you are defeated, you must submit. This is justice. Only if you do this will every loser submit. Your current methods only make people perceive you as a bully. Being a tyrant might suppress others, but it will not win their respect.”

In his heart, there were no concepts of holy or unholy lands. History is learned from, not worshiped. He appreciated the saints from past eras who had fought beasts for the survival of the human race, but every holy land essentially just produced powerful martial artists. If they can’t recognize this and believe others should submit to them while viewing themselves as noble beings…

The strength of such holy lands becomes nothing more than a mirage, filled with pretentious people. As Xu Laoying once said, arrogance is the path to destruction.

If a family warrior truly surpasses the chosen representative of the Xu Clan, then it’s the Xu Clan’s turn to submit.

To Tang Luo, this was a simple matter. However, Xu Laoying, upon hearing these words, widened his eyes in surprise. He had been struggling to understand why the warriors of Xiling refused to submit, and at this moment, he had an epiphany!

With Xu Shuhui looking shocked, the Xu Clan’s representative made a decision that left her speechless.

“It should be so. If a family warrior can indeed defeat me, I will not only submit on behalf of the Xu Clan but also acknowledge this person as my master, and serve under him as a disciple!” The varied emotions in Xu Laoying’s peach blossom eyes accepted Tang Luo’s viewpoint and put his own reputation at

stake.

Tang Luo continued with a poker face: “Aren’t you afraid of being defeated by a martial artist with bloodline powers?”

Master Xu laughed it off: “If the martial arts and bloodline research of the Xu Clan that has been ongoing for a thousand years were to be defeated by a bloodline martial artist, it would make the nof this sacred place ring hollow.”

The Xu Clan conducts the most profound study on bloodlines among all the families. A large part of the strongest fighters in the Xu Clan are bloodline wielders, but even more are martial artists without bloodlines. Besides, the Xu Clan not only studies bloodlines but also works on strategies to combat them. When it comes to combat experience against bloodline wielders, the Xu Clan tops all the sacred places, which is the source of Master Xu’s confidence.

Tang Luo was not pleased with Master Xu’s ease and confidence.

From a relative’s perspective, he admired Master Xu and the excellency of the Xu Clan. They were confident yet not arrogant, and majestic yet not overbearing.

However, from the point of view of a potential opponent, it beca thorny issue for Tang Luo, who aspired to obtain divinity as a part of his ancestral lineage.

The downfall of the mediocre throughout history lies in laziness; that of the talented lies in pride!

He would rather have Master Xu act proudly and arrogantly, considering himself superior to all. Just thinking about the many generations of martial artists nurtured by Xu Clan who were similar to the one in front of him brought about a sense of helplessness.

Thinking about having such excellent individuals as his future opponents,

Tang Luo felt immense pressure.

The pride he felt from perfecting the imprinting technique vanished instantly. Through Master Xu, he could imagine the flourishing and thriving state of the entire Xu Clan.

“Impressive!” Tang Luo praised wholeheartedly.

His admiration was not only for Master Xu but also for the entire Xu Clan. “Hahaha, they’re average, just your basics.” Master Xu laughed, rubbing his head, a joyful expression on his face.

At home, his father and elders were always serious and laughed seldom. Even their praises were given behind his back, depriving him of much joy. Tang Luo has always been someone he admired for his wisdom. To be praised by someone he himself approved of, Master Xu was thrilled.

While the adults were engrossed in their pleasant conversations, the children found it extremely boring as they couldn’t understand. Tang Luo, out of consideration for the two little ones, asked Xu Shuhui, “Mother, shall we eat now?”

Still amazed by Master Xu’s acceptance of Tang Luo’s proposal, Xu Shuhui snapped back to reality and hurriedly said, “Yes, let’s eat first and continue our chat later.”

The two tiny tots, on hearing that they could start eating, immediately picked up their bowls and began to eat heartily.

Observing the harmonious scene, Xu Shuhui couldn’t manage to cheer up. She was quite shocked by Master Xu’s suggestion and was unsure whether his approach was right or wrong, hence her worry.

Being older, Tang Luo and Master Xu could easily sense Xu Shuhui’s worry and distraction.

“Aunt, don’t fret about my nephew’s actions.” Master Xu comforted Xu Shuhui: “Since the family choseas the representative of the Xu Clan in this generation and bestowed the Emperor’s Void Phoenix Sword upon me, it means they entrusted all affairs that require grandeur to me. Although the Xu Clan is renowned, we are still out on a limb in Yuanzhou. There may indeed be other families that have overtaken us. If my nephew does cacross them, wouldn’t it be the perfect opportunity to exchange ideas?

“Every traveling representative of the sacred place has to visit all the other sacred places. Isn’t the purpose of this to confirm our learning..? If there is a family that has already outstripped the Xu Clan, why should my nephew travel far to seek them?”

Xu Shuhui naturally understood his reasoning, but as a woman, she was sensitive and emotional. From the first tshe saw Master Xu, she saw him not only as a nephew but also forgot that he was the most distinguished fighter of the Mortal Realm in the Xu Clan for her generation.

Out of a relative’s affection, she did not want her nephew to take considerable risks. Because the Xu Clan also had elders, all of whom were quite traditional.

If Master Xu were to lose during the challenge in Longzhou, the punishment he would face upon returning to the clan was by no means trivial..
