I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 485: Chapter 481: Accompany

“Tang Luo only wants to use his old tactics again.” Mi Shen’s star-bright eyes sparkled with a dazzling light as he confidently stated, “Defeating Xiao Ziyu, making the Xiao Family pay money and grain again for his release, and accelarating the Xiao Family’s food consumption.”

When disasters strike, what could be worth more than food? The Blood Raven Shadow Map clearly shows that initially, Tang Luo was lost in thought and showed disdain for Xiao Ziyu’s provocations.

But then Xiao Qi appeared and not only did Tang Luo not step down, he accepted Xiao Ziyu’s challenge on the spot, even escalating it to a life or death battle. This doesn’t seem to be a premeditated act; rather, it seems to have been a spur of the moment idea.

After two interactions, Mi Shen knew that with his wisdom, Tang Luo will definitely not kill Xiao Ziyu, for killing Xiao Ziyu would mean severing the potential alliance with the Xiao family. Even if Tang Luo wanted to do it, the Tang Clan’s Elder Council and clan leader would not allow it.

If he is not out to kill, and yet he proposed a life or death duel, then Tang Luo’s true motives becquite clear.

“What if Xiao Ziyu dies in the duel?” Mi Jin nodded in agreement with Mi Shen’s judgement and posed a question.

Having experienced hundreds of years of plundering, the Mi Clan had unimaginable depths. Planning for a peak Transcendent’s fight in the war was not difficult.

If Tang Luo “accidentally” killed Xiao Ziyu in battle, one could imagine how furious Xiao Jinlin would be. At that time, if the Mi Clan deployed troops from both east and west, they could launch a pincer attack on the northern mountains.

By then, the disadvantage of the North Mountain frontline’s length would be fully exposed. Even if the Tang Clan brought out their most devout followers and depleted the clan’s resources, their retreat would only be a matter of time.

Therefore, for the Mi Clan’s interests, Xiao Ziyu must die in this battle.

What they needed to do, Mi Shen and himself, was to arrange a series of placements, and make this future, which was in the best interest of the Mi Clan, into a reality!

Wind Media Department of the Tang Clan

The reestablished Wind Media Department still maintained its original structure, but due to the floods, the Tang Clan’s information transmission was much slower than that of the Mi Clan.

When Tang Feng, the head of the department, received the news of the arranged battle between Tang Luo and Xiao Ziyu, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

As one of the core members of the Tang Clan, he was aware that the Tang and Xiao clans had formed an alliance, but Tang Luo was not.

“I must hurry and inform the head of the clan, and see if there’s any way to remedy this.”

Tang Luo, at the center of the storm, was completely unaware of becoming the focus of Xiling again. Having just established a tfor the duel with Xiao Ziyu, he had another important task at hand.

As for battle preparations? What kind of preparation was needed to fight a peak Transcendent with twenty thousand points of spiritual power? Just charge straight ahead!

When Tang Luo rode the Cloud Piercing Beast back to the Du Clan’s residence, accompanied by Sun Jinfang and Du Sha, Red Cloud Mountain had already becbustling with activity as a large number of civilians gathered at the entrance of the Du Clan’s residence.

When people saw the white line in the sky, the crowd immediately burst into loud cheers.

“The Chosen One is here, The Chosen One is here! We are saved.”

“Chosen One, please give us sfood!”

“We cto Red Cloud Mountain because of your words, you can’t abandon us!”

The starving civilians shouted desperately at the sky. Most people could only hear fragments of their shouts, but numerous pieces of information entered Tang Luo’s ears.

Most of them were cheers of joy at seeing their savior, as if his mere presence could lift their burden of hunger. Tang Luo did not stay, as his presence would only cause greater panic. Since he had already sent hundreds of people to collect the civilians’ information, there was no need for him to appear before the crowd at this time.

He didn’t expect so many people to gather around the Du Clan’s residence in such a short period of time. Even though they had already dispatched all the literate members of the Righteous Gang, it seemed that they were still understaffed.

Who could have imagined that in a group of tens of thousands of people, there would only be a few hundred who could read and write.

But when he entered the residence, he hadn’t yet had a chance to give Sun and Du sinstructions when he heard the noisy crowd outside suddenly becoming unified.

“Chosen One! Cout!”

“Chosen One! Cout!”

“Cout! Cout!”

Tens of thousands of voices joined together, actually calling for Tang Luo.

“It seems I have no choice but to go out.” Tang Luo sighed, turning to Sun Jinfang and Du Sha, “Master Sun, Mr. Du. Please invite all the notable individuals of Red Cloud Mountain to the Du Clan’s residence. Tell them we have important matters to discuss. I’ll go see what’s happening outside.”

As soon as Tang Luo stepped out of the meeting hall, he saw a bustling crowd, with people waving their hands in frenzy, shouting loudly.

When they saw him appear, a few civilians in the front row began to shout, “The Chosen One is here, The Chosen One is here!!”

Shortly after, cheers spread out like waves, and the crowd pushed forward. If not for the warriors of the Du family blocking them, the crowd would probably rush to make direct contact with him.

In such a situation, it would be difficult to even ensure safety, let alone registering names. Tang Luo shook his head and unleashed the Undying Battle Body. The five-meter tall, silver-gray giant appeared in the middle of Du’s residence like a hill, startling the crowd and causing them to stumble backwards.

The giant took two steps forward and stood in the center of the courtyard, shouting at the crowd, “Everyone, be quiet!”

The power of his thunderous voice once again showed its strength, overwhelming the shouts of tens of thousands of civilians. It was like a muffled thunder explosion by one’s ear, and most of the untrained civilians could only cover their own ears to resist the vibration of the sound wave.

The noisy crowd quieted down instantly, only leaving the echoing responses.

Tang Luo looked down. Tens of thousands of people had gathered at the Du Clan’s residence, and there were only over twenty members of the Righteous Gang responsible for registration. The tables and chairs that had been set up in the courtyard had been knocked to the ground during the push and shove, seven had broken legs while papers and pens were scattered everywhere, sbeing stepped on by the people. This meant that sof the completed work had been discarded.

With one person responsible for the registration of thousands of people, he didn’t know how much paper would be needed. Tang Luo, with his keen sense, realized that it was simply a pipe dream to register the information of over a million people with only a few hundred people for the job.

“There are too few people who can read and write.” Tang Luo shook his head, preparing a simpler solution to help the members of the Righteous Gang to speed up the work progress.

Taking a deep breath, the silver giant roared, “Civilians of Red Cloud Mountain listen up, Tang Luo is widely recruiting followers today. There are no requirements for cultivation level, gender, or age! Any free citizens willing to serve can tie a piece of cloth on their forehead! Gather at the residence of the Du Clan on Red Cloud Mountain, all others should not linger here.”

Spreading his Thunderous Voice Divine Skill over the halfway up the Red Cloud Mountain, repeating the information three times, Tang Luo dismissed the Undying Battle Body, returned to his normal size and was about to walk into the house when he heard a roar from behind.

“You tricked us into coming to Red Cloud Mountain, in order to coerce us into servitude.. How ridiculous that I was foolish enough to believe you!”
