Chapter 1165: Chapter 392: The Great Tang’s Jiang Dragon (Double Chapter)

But once perished in that Western Regions demon turmoil.

Yet according to the details, no corpse was ever seen.

It was only the subsequent events that made people believe he was no longer among the living.

Until recent years, Lei Jun’s suspicion about this has grown day by day.

After knowing there was a branch of the Xiao Clan from Longwai within Great Unity, Lei Jun once suspected the other party was in the Great Unity Xiao Clan.

However, the leader of the Great Unity Xiao Clan, Xiao Jing, is a woman, and among elders like Xiao Yuan, there was no trace of Xiao Yumen.

"In response to the Celestial Master’s inquiry, I dare not conceal anything."

Chu Yu softly said: "To my knowledge, Xue Ting and their father... is still alive."

She glanced around: "But since the last battle in the Western Regions to fight for Longwai Xiao Clan, after Xue Ting and her siblings joined the court and received assignments, Mister Gucheng has been silent and even Xue Ting doesn’t know his specific whereabouts."

Lei Jun nodded slightly: "At present, it seems that he is not in Great Unity, but over in the Great Han world, there are descendants from the Longwai Xiao Clan."

Chu Yu: "What does the Celestial Master mean?"

Lei Jun: "Within the Great Han Dynasty, the sects stemming from the Ancient Talisman Sect, Confucian Family, Outer Way Great Void Temple, alongside the Treasure Department from Sumi, coexist intertwined, hmm, there might also be a Witchcraft Sect lurking in the shadows. As a poor Taoist, I have no intention to rush things. I plan to wait until Great Unity regains peace, while also observing what actions the Han court’s royal family will take next."

Chu Yu: "Celestial Master Lei’s concern for the Great Unity people, Chu admires."

After the battle in Luoyang, even in the current battle in Great Unity, people from the Tang Dynasty’s human realm have come to realize that this contemporary Celestial Master, steadfast as a hidden abyss, if unmoved then none will tremble, but when moved, it shakes the heavens like thunder.

Yet, in most of the daily time, the person still remains quietly self-contained, akin to a tranquil abyssal sea.

Chu Yu, however, also noted Lei Jun’s choice of words.

He personally leans towards this.

Leaving room in his speech, no blame to Celestial Master Lei for being vague, as there are two others at the Celestial Master Mansion on Mount Longhu of Tang.

From the angle of whether one’s behavior is reserved or not, those two are definitely not ones who quietly yield.

Chu Yu, however, remains calm.

Calm like Empress Zhang Wantong.

Knowing the double-edged sword well, enjoying the benefits of its sharpness, while being mentally prepared for the other side.

"I will next head to the Xiao Clan Ancestral Land," Lei Jun inquired: "What about Zhang Hui Layman?"

Chu Yu: "Jing Ting intends to currently remain in the Tang Dynasty’s human realm, wait for the Great General and Xue Ting to advance further, before considering venturing elsewhere."

Lei Jun: "As for the Great General and General Xiao San, it should be in recent years, correct?"

Chu Yu: "Yes, the Great General might be slightly faster."

Shangguan Yunbo’s talent, although slightly inferior to Xiao Xueting, is nonetheless deeply accumulated, only a fine line away.

With the dispersal of the essence of National Fate Dragon Vein that nourishes all beings, it is most beneficial for his condition, thus possibly slightly faster than Xiao Xueting.

"Wishing the two Generals to soon attain the Martial Saint body," Lei Jun nodded, bid farewell to Chu Yu, and then proceeded to the Xiao Clan Ancestral Land for the final arrangements.

.........

The delegation of the Lord of Rong is currently visiting the disciples of the Tang Celestial Master Mansion.

After entering Great Unity, Chu Kun and the others were tasked by Lei Jun to clear up the Fang Clan Ancestral Land.

Upon hearing the intention of the Lord of Rong, Chu Kun, who had previously received instructions from Lei Jun, offered reassurance to the other party.

The Lord of Rong was relieved of immediate concerns, yet couldn’t completely put his mind at ease.

For he still had distant worries.

Intuitively, he felt that the future of Great Unity would not be as simple as replacing the Five Prestiges Sixteen Kingdoms with One Path Sixteen States.

This indeed provides more possibilities for the future.

But where Rong would head next still required considerable thought.

As he pondered, he saw his eldest son rushing over.

"What has happened?" asked the Lord of Rong calmly.

The young Duke Rong took a deep breath: "Within the borders of Yan Country, some unusual movements seem to be underway!"

The Lord of Rong remained calm: "If they dare to act recklessly at this time, the consequences would be worrisome."

The major situation of the Five Prestiges is settled, Yan Country, though under the control of the Lin Clan in Great Unity, is not likely, at this moment, to sacrifice themselves for the Lin Clan."

Their target is other Great Unity states listed in the Sixteen Kingdoms.

Rong Nation is bordering Yan Country.

"By themselves, they naturally dare not act recklessly. Currently, they are only scheming in secret, ready to strike."

The young Duke Rong frowned: "But once they personally approach those external Taoists or the imperial dynasties of the Mortal World’s realm and persuade them to support, the situation will be altogether different."

The Lord of Rong gazed afar for a moment and then shook his head: "I’m afraid they will be disappointed. If the opposite party had such intentions, they wouldn’t have retained us Sixteen Kingdoms, nor would they have kept the Emperor..."

He gathered his thoughts and pondered: "Yan Country and other states, including us, cannot move in the short term. It is rather the Emperor’s side, with this upheaval, who knows what thoughts will arise."

.........

Likewise outside the Fang Clan Ancestral Land, far away.

The Great Unity’s Emperor, known to the world as King Zhou, who visually appears thirty or forty years old, is calmly watching his young son: "I intend for you to seek the Tao at Mount Longhu of Tang."

The child, though young, is precocious and calmly seated. Upon hearing this, he bows: "I will obey."

King Zhou: "I have inquired. The Taoist Sect emphasizes the fate of immortality. Whether or not you can enter to learn the Tao, it is currently impossible to predict. But this opportunity must be seized."

The child agreed maturely like a small adult.

Beside King Zhou, a senior official of the royal family, with a solemn face, softly asked: "King... what about Sumi over in the Great Han world?"

"We only have one choice, only the chance to choose one side," King Zhou calmly replied.

Residing in Great Unity, the Five Prestiges are like five great mountains pressing overhead. Under normal circumstances, neither King Zhou nor the Sixteen Kingdoms have the slightest possibility of overturning.

No matter how unwilling, any change would require external assistance.
