I Can See Your Combat Power

Sha was elated and immediately agreed: “Yes!”

Although Tang Luo expected his negotiation with Du Sha to be smooth, it was still a bit surprising that it was this easy. “Don’t you want to ask what needs to be done?”

“I trust the revered Tang Luo’s character,” Du Sha said with a smile on his face.

Even though he would allocate a century’s worth of service to his clan, he never changed his belief. He would have agreed to this proposal should anyone else have made it. But when the order was imparted, the righteousness in his heart was the true standard.

He would clarify these words when he pledged allegiance to his master. But he didn’t feel the need to do this when facing Tang Luo.

Securing the allegiance of a formidable power in such an inexplicable manner made Tang Luo feel like he was in a dream, but who would reject good things falling into their lap?

The deal was sealed with just a few sentences, but the three elders were still intensely discussing in the rear hall.

An hour later, the Great Elder Du Ting, led Du Wei and Du Ling out and sat down dejectedly.

Du Ting turned to Tang Luo and said, “We, the Du family, can accept your terms. But there are a few requests we would like to negotiate with you.” Tang Luo looked at Du Ting with a half-smile and teasingly said, “It would be more sincerity if you do not use sound transmission into secrecy when you are talking to me.”

Du Ting’s face stiffened, and the faces of the other two elders also changed, unable to maintain their dejected expressions.

“Not only your sound transmission into secrecy but also your discussion in the back hall, I heard it all,” Tang Luo said calmly. “There’s no need to fear that I will threaten the Du Family with Red Cloud crystals once I own Red Cloud Mountain. If you are so unwilling to be my vassals, then keeping the clan intact is also fine. All I want is the allegiance of the three elders for the rest of their lives.”

The surprise was too sudden, and the elders of the Du Family looked at each other in disbelief.

“Is your honor really serious?” Du Ting asked directly. There were few warriors in the Du family who lived to be a hundred years old. Even Du Ling, the youngest of the three, was over eighty. It was well worthwhile to exchange the remaining years of the three of them for the Du family’s continuation.

It seemed that Red Cloud Mountain’s issue was settled. Tang Luo stood up and said to the three men, “Unless there are unforeseen circumstances, you elders intend to accept these terms, right?”

“Correct!” Du Ting gestured respectfully, “After the three of us have handed over the clan’s affairs we will immediately submit to you. Red Cloud Mountain, from today onwards, will be your private property.

You can tell a lot about a person’s character by looking at their actions, their motives, and their fears.

Knowing the origin of the illness in Red Cloud Village, Tang Luo knew that he could take over Red Cloud Mountain and all the warriors of the Du family as long as he could solve this problem.

Red Cloud Mountain and Yuxiling Ridge were territories that the Tang and Mi families had to compete for. One could say that the vision of the three elders of the Du Family was short-sighted. They could foresee a battle between the Tang and Mi families, but they couldn’t see the peril of Red Cloud Peak at their feet.

But this was good, saving Tang Luo a lot of inexplicable schemes. Tang Luo nodded and said, “Since the three of you have agreed to my terms, it’s time for me to show some sincerity. Bring some of the Du family direct descendants to the Conference Hall. I will help them eliminate the disease.”

The three elders were overjoyed, Du Ting hastily directed to the outside of the hall: “Bring Ziteng, Xiaohan, and Yixuan to the Conference Hall and invite Master Sun for a visit!”

In a short while, three bewildered young men were brought to the Conference Hall by guards and respectfully saluted the elders.

Looking at the three most promising young men of the current Du Family generation, Du Ting nodded approvingly and said to Tang Luo: “Which one will you start with?”

“All together,” Tang Luo stood up, turned to the three and said: “The three of you put your palms together and suppress your spiritual energy in your dantian. Regardless of what happens later, do not counter with spiritual power. Understand?”

The baffled young men looked at the revered person who suddenly stood in front of them and made orders. It seems treacherous for a warrior to suppress all his spiritual power in the dantian and give up control of his body. They could only look to the Great Elder Du Ting for help.

But the old man just glared at the three confused young men and scolded: “What are you waiting for? Do as instructed! Do you need me to teach you how to suppress your spiritual power?”

The three young men originally wanted to seek protection, but they ended up being scolded. They had to dejectedly put their palms together, stand in a triangle, and suppress their spiritual power in their dantian.

Seeing that the three were ready, Tang Luo then extended his hand and placed it on top of Du Ziteng’s head. As soon as they touched, he felt the young man shudder. The spiritual power that was originally suppressed in the dantian trembled and wanted to initiate a protective technique.

“Don’t be afraid, relax,” Tang Luo said indifferently: “With the four Fierce Realms of the Du family surrounding you, do you still fear that I am going to kill you?”

Afraid!?

Du Ziteng glanced sideways at Tang Luo and felt insulted. He said stiffly: “I just don’t like someone’s hand on top of my head!”

Having said that, he tried hard to control the spiritual power in his body, and his muscles were tense like a steel plate.

There was nothing more effective for an impetuous young man than a goad. Tang Luo responded, with a smile on his face: “Well that’s good.” In fact, solving the problem of the Du Family warriors wasn’t very complicated. Simply put, one needed to remove the toxins accumulated in the body. In other words, repair the body.

The problem seemed complicated only because of the characteristics of the Red Cloud crystals. They would reflect and rebound from most common healing methods. The Red Cloud crystal is one of the original three crystals. It can reflect most spiritual powers, the Amber Gold bead can seal everything, and the deep blue diamond can ward off all evils.

Once, a talented Ou Family member had the wild idea of forging Divine Armor with Red Cloud crystals, hoping to be immune from all Spirit Art attacks. Although the Divine Armor was forged and worked as expected, it was still locked away by the Ou Family and never used because the armor blocked external spiritual powers while also blocking the warrior inside from absorbing the spiritual powers of heaven and earth.

The usage of Divine Armor consumed a significant amount of spiritual energy, all supplied by the warrior. Although the armor’s defensive ability was impressive, it completely cut off the warrior’s spiritual supply, making this supposedly superior Divine Armor useless.

So, the Du Family warriors who were poisoned by the Red Cloud crystals could not be healed by spiritual means. This left 99% of doctors helpless.

But Tang Luo did have a non-spiritual method for treating this condition, moreover, he could also control the original three crystals.

With the Innate Qi of the Earth emanating from the spleen and stomach, it circulates through the five internal organs to achieve the small perfection of the Five Elements. The Red Cloud crystal’s toxicity was enveloped by the Innate Qi, and then shattered using the universal Yin-Yang Grinding. This was Tang Luo’s plan to solve the fertility problems of the Du Family warriors.

As long as all the accumulated toxicity in their blood vessels was eliminated, the young men of the Du Family would be able to regain their fertility. This was Tang Luo’s method of solving the infertility problem of the Du family..
