"Just guard the city gates, those old bald monks can't get in."
He fondled Lei Li with one hand while controlling everything in the gang group chat through the Illusion City.
Ever since Wang Han had ssed up Tang Rao's life, Tang Rao unexpectedly took a liking to seeking out Lei Li.
Lei Li's temperant was just right for appearing during this ti.
When Tang Rao was troubled, Lei Li asked no questions, whatever Tang Rao wanted to do, Lei Li didn't refuse.
When Tang Rao slept, Lei Li dutifully attended by his side, and no matter who ca calling, Lei Li kept them at bay. During these ten days, Tang Rao's inner sanctum seed peaceful to him.
"Tang Rao, why don't you go take a look? My heart has been restless, I have a feeling sothing is about to happen."
Lei Li was also in the group chat and could see what Tang Rao was saying.
Tang Rao got up from Lei Li and withdrew his hand, accidentally knocking over a fruit plate as he rose.
Lei Li's anxiety was apparent, while Tang Rao's agitation was hidden, but small details easily revealed his annoyance.
The saying goes, "If people do not offend , I will not offend them; if they offend , I'll make them doubt their existence—it wouldn't be heroic otherwise."
Tang Rao finally stepped out of Lei Li's room. However long Tang Rao stayed with Lei Li, that was how long Yue Er waited outside her door. She thought this wait would last longer, but by the ti she took a nap, Tang Rao had already co out.
"Master, where are you going? Yue Er can go in your place?"
Yue Er moved quickly, gradually keeping pace with Tang Rao's walking speed.
Tang Rao hadn't failed to notice Yue Er's knack, he simply hadn't pointed it out.
"Master, Yue Er is struggling to keep up with your pace. Are you leaving the city? Shall I prepare a carriage for you?"
Tang Rao still didn't respond.
She hadn't been in Zijing City long and had never gone out with Tang Rao, so she naturally didn't know his habits. She assud he was like the Zhou Family's Second Young Master, who had a mount but never used it, treating it as a pet, and always traveling by carriage. Yue Er thought this was a rich young master's habit, but she was wrong about Tang Rao's intentions.
"Yue Er, if you can't keep up, you don't have to co along. The city gates are dangerous, you should head back."
Tang Rao advised Yue Er. He could tell at a glance whether Yue Er had any strength. Her skills weren't bad, but not exceptional either. She was a little too simple-minded, easily deceived and sold. If she stood at the city gates, it would be a miracle if she didn't get killed.
Tang Rao found Yue Er amusing, which is why he kept her by his side.
When Yue Er heard Tang Rao say the city gates were dangerous, she beca even more unwilling to leave. If Tang Rao was going to a dangerous place, what if sothing happened to him? The more he told her to stay, the more determined she was to follow, just in case she couldn't protect him right away.
This girl is really stubborn!
He told Yue Er to go back, but secretly didn't mind her tagging along.
"Family Head, there's no movent inside. That Tang Rao doesn't take us seriously. After all, we're prominent figures on West Island, and here we are at Northern Island's small sect, getting rebuffed—it's unacceptable!"
The Eight Great Vajra weren't as patient as Zhou Runfa.
After all, they were older, with more life's experience, naturally having a better disposition.
If you count the dead, it's Zhou Runfa's biological grandson. A limited bloodline of the Zhou Family was suddenly cut off by Tang Rao. For the Zhou Family, losing this lineage ant fewer future possibilities. His grandson—without him, his life's accomplishnts—who were they for?
Thinking about the last ti seeing Zhou Jie, Zhou Runfa felt a surge of blood, struggling to accept the harsh reality.
But the outco was fixed. The dead couldn't co back to life. He swore to use Tang Rao's blood to commorate his grandson, making Tang Rao an offering to Zhou Jie, and not only him but also the little girl by Zhou Jie's side—they both had to die!
Cough, cough, cough!
Zhou Runfa coughed twice, coughing up blood.
To avoid the Eight Great Vajra noticing, he covered his face, cleaning the blood from his mouth, then revealed his face again.
At this mont, Tang Rao stood atop the city gate. Along with him, his fierce generals also stepped forward.
With their leader at the forefront, they had their backbone. Holding the city gate steady, not making any rash moves, following orders—these words sounded weak from others' mouths, but from Tang Rao's, they beca their belief!
"Old miser, Grandpa hasn't even made a move, and you're coughing up blood? Don't tell you ca to my Kao Shan Sect to fake an injury?"
The Kao Shan Sect brothers had heard the term 'fake an injury' many tis. When they heard soone making trouble faking an injury, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Boss, we didn't think it at first, but now that you ntion it, it really looks about seventy or eighty percent like it. See, he's got eight bald witnesses with him. Are these witnesses going to report us to the Island Master later?"
The speaker was Sun Miao, a talent recently discovered by Cha Xiangzi. Apart from being sharp-tongued, his actions greatly aligned with Tang Rao and the others.
Sun Miao was open-hearted with brothers and ruthless towards the Kao Shan Sect's enemies.
Most importantly, Sun Miao was quite interesting. He had no interest in fighting or cultivation but constantly pestered Kao Shan Sect brothers about Tang Rao and their peculiar vocabulary. His passion for Blue Star's lingo even made Tang Rao apprehensive.
He even considered whether, one day, he should reward Sun Miao by sending him to Blue Star to experience its culture.
"Better not anger them, I've been in the Divine Realm a long ti, and I've never once had a chance to et the Northern Island Master. If they find the Island Master upon arrival to back them up, our little sect doesn't stand a chance. I'm really scared."
Tang Rao was clearly trying to provoke the people outside.
There were far too many people outside looking to trouble Tang Rao, and Zhou Runfa was currently the strongest among them, which was cause for Tang Rao's concern.
He had renovated this city gate and recently reset the array. In theory, the array could keep out those with post-God-level strength, but these were just theories. Since resetting the array, Tang Rao had never encountered such a strong opponent. Whether the array could stop those outside remains a question.
"You! Tang Rao, you're courting death!"
Zhou Runfa threw sothing out of his sleeve, and just from that motion, Tang Rao's internal alarm bells echoed loud. He quickly ordered everyone to jump down from the city gate, avoiding standing atop it any longer.
