Yan Xia swept across the report, and said coldly: “Seems like the little lady is smarter than we thought.”
The report was quickly passed around a few people, and their faces were ugly.
Suo Guang mumbled to himself: “Elder Yu is tired of living, he dares to take initiative to mess with things! What is he trying to do?”
“He is unwilling to be left out.” Gong Yi Xiu sneered: “Although Elder Yu is not powerful, but he is old, he has seniority, and has excessive prestige. All the natives’ power in Humble Forest Planet, to our Xu Shi Group, they already had intent to go against us. If he is able to contact the other families this time, then we will be eating turtles, all of the top rate big shots names from Humble Forest Planet, we would be sitting ducks. The young lady is very strong, she chose these prestigious people, it is the best choice already.”
“Then what do we do now?” Wu Nan frowned and asked: “If the matter is blown up, by the time even if Master comes, there’s a possibility he cannot talk them down.”
He was very crude in his speech, but no one could say anything.
Humble Forest Planet natives’ powers were strong and solid, it was just that they understood, they were under the rule of Onyx Soul, so for the past few years everyone had been living in harmony. But now that Yan Xia and gang’s actions had been brought to light, it was an excuse for the natives. But if they were to give up the mechanical weapons of the Southern Cross Army, everyone would not be resigned to it.
The three of them looked at Yan Xia, he was the small group’s leader. Everyone had some regret, they should not had sent the Gu family the letter, they thought that, if they borrow the name of the Xu Shi Group, the Gu Family would not dare to retaliate. It was just one mechanical weapon, although it was rarely seen, but because it was related to the hatred for the Xu Shi Group, many of them would not do something stupid as to pass them the mechanical weapon.
They completely did not think that, Gu Xue would actually retaliate to this extent.
A trace of ferociousness flashed past Yan Xia’s eyes: “If we are faster, and act before Elder Yu arrives. Once it is in our hands, the power of taking action first would be ours. Who knows what will happen after?”
Suo Guang said: “I know of the route that we could take, but it is not a good path to walk, at most we can save only half a day’s worth of time.”
“Go! Leave the carriage!” Yan Xia ordered without hesitation, he turned his body and ordered: “The carriage is too slow!”
The four of them soared out from the carriage, and landed in the thick jungle below.

With regards to Tang Tian’s sudden multiplier fold increase of intuition, Bing had already formulated a new training plan. For the new plan, it was very simple, Bing increased the difficulty of the Chamber of the Eighteen Bronze Figures.
The Chamber of the Eighteen Bronze Figures difficulty could actually still be adjusted...
Tang Tian who was staring in disbelief was kicked into the increased difficulty chamber by Bing, and thus began the hellish and dark arduous life of training.
Tang Tian even suspected that the eighteen trash had some sort of thoughts of revenge, they executed underhanded and fierce moves, even with Tang Tian’s increased intuition of eighteen multiplier folds, he was still being oppressed to the point that he wished he was dead.
But he had to say, Bing’s methods were working. The eighteen trashes understood more of Tang Tian’s style of attacking, and with their increased power, they could suppress Tang Tian.
Such a hellish training, in a short period of time, Tang Tian’s intuition was squeezed dry in that short period of time.
Finally being able to relax, Tang Tian was able to leave the hellish struggle to see daylight again, when he finally could bath under the sun, he almost cried tears of joy. It was obviously just a short period of experience, but Tang Tian felt that he struggled for a very long time.
The sunlight can really make people feel comfortable.
To celebrate the short escape from the abyss of suffering, Tang Tian decided to rest for an hour, to relax. He aimlessly strolled around the courtyard, Ling Xu was there training bitterly on his spear arts. After watching a while, Tang Tian realized Ling Xu’s spear arts were improving at a surprising rate.
He suddenly thought of the Statue Five Gestures, his own improvements on intuition. How much did Ling Xu improve?
If it was the imposing gesture, then it would be willpower, but how can he improve on a thing like willpower? And ever since that day, the imposing gesture could actually cause Ling Xu to have some resonance.
To Tang Tian, Ling Xu was definitely someone who was very violent, it takes a bit for him to erupt. Although this fellow, talks about justice and what not, but Tang Tian felt that that fellow is actually more suitable to rob, kill and burn. A bandit’s job.
This kind of person, actually would resonate with the imposing gesture, it is so weird.
Unless this brat’s willpower is extremely strong?
Tang Tian resigned that his willpower was definitely not weak, but even if so, his resonance with the imposing gesture, could not even compare up to Ling Xu’s.
So weird...
Tang Tian thought for a while, and then decided to throw that question to the back of his head, it was difficult for him to get this hour to unwind, and to waste it on Ling Xu, Tang Tian did not find that fun at all.
Such an asshole! Wasted ten minutes of my time!
Tang Tian scolded in his heart, as he dropped his head and walked away.
Just as he left Ling Xu’s courtyard, Tang Tian suddenly heard Gu Xue and Mu Lei’s quiet discussion. It might be due to his increased level of intuition, Tang Tian’s hearing ability was much more outstanding than before.
“How far is Xu Shi group from here?” Gu Xue asked Mu Lei.
“They are coming from Bright Rein City, they would require maybe a day and a half to journey here by carriage.” Mu Lei’s tone had a hint of anxiousness: “Elder Yu and the rest should take roughly three days before they reach.”
Gu Xue bit her lips: “We have to find a way to delay them! That way Elder Yu can handle them.”
“Yes, we have to think up of an idea!” Mu Lei agreed.
They did not expect that, their discussion would actually be eavesdropped by Tang Tian. after listening for a while, Tang Tian roughly realized the problem, Gu Xue’s helpers that were coming required three days to reach, while that Xu Shi Group, only needed a day and a half to reach, Gu Xue was trying to think up of ways to delay until help arrived.
Quietly retreating, Tang Tian immediately went to think of an exquisite idea.
“Hey Bing, if we were to initiate a sneak attack, do you think we can delay the Xu Shi Group?” Tang Tian told Bing his thoughts.
Bing understood where Tang Tian was coming from, and he began to calculate and consider with a professional mind: “If we only have to delay them, we just need to be prepared, we can still make it.”
As the chief instructor of an army, with regards to formulating small scale battles, it was a very simple thing to him.
“You, Me, Ling Xu, Ghost Claw. Four of us, we need a map, and their only road of advance, that is where we can ambush them. We will require disguises, we will first plan out the escape routes and the hiding locations. Ghost Claw will be at the rear, if he were to be destroyed we would lose a lot, for ten days you will be unable to use any spirit nucleus to summon him out.”
Bing’s thoughts were very clear, it was thorough and arranged well, and thus causing Tang Tian’s confidence to suddenly expand, as expected he was a professional!
“No problem, Ling Xu will definitely have no problems! If he does not help, it means he is going against his teacher’s wishes!” Tang Tian shook his head profusely, imitating Ling Xu’s tone and voice: “For justice!”
“I know where we can get a map.” Tang Tian suddenly said: “The luggage Ah Xue prepared for us to go to the Starry Door to train has it.”
As expected, very quickly, Tang Tian found the map. The plot also included another person, Ling Xu. Tang Tian was right again, when he said the righteous phrase “For justice”, Ling Xu agreed immediately.
It was tangible, Ling Xu’s huge increase in power, with regards to entering a battle, he was eager to give it a try.
“They are coming from Bright Reign City, and they can only go by this route.” Bing drew the route on the map, and pointed: “they are in a carriage, so i had to estimate their altitude. The most suitable location for us, would be here.”
Bing pointed to Crane Beak Valley.
Tang Tian laughed: “I like that name!” Seeing that the location had a crane word, Tang Tian felt more intimate.
Bing ignored him, and continued: “Crane Beak Valley has a few high reliefs, and other than the valley inside where the atmosphere and airflow is rather the same as outside, the valley exterior and the higher plains have a rather chaotic airflow, which is not suitable for carriages. They will definitely not think that there will be a sneak attack, and that is our advantage.”
“What’s the escape plan?” Ling Xu asked.
Tang Tian laughed: “Little Xu Xu, you’re too scared, we haven’t even begin the talk, and your mind is all about escaping!”
Ling Xu bickered with him: “If you’re that strong, you don’t run!”
Tang Tian’s skin was thicker than what Ling Xu could had expect, as he laughed and replied: “Watch me beat them down like beating dogs!”
No one cared about him.
Yan Xia who was ranked 20th, his depth and power, everyone knew it in their hearts.
“Crane Beak Valley has another benefit for us as a location, as its surrounding is all the Black Mountain Forest, it is very complicated, and extremely suitable for shaking off enemies chasing after us. As long as i do not separate more than two hundred li from Tang Tian, i can go back to him, this point, we can also make use of it.”
Bing continued: “Our aim is to delay, so, we cannot completely let them lose their targets, so that they will continue to come to the Gu Family.”
Ling Xu realized that, and said: “That means, if we were to run, we also cannot run too fast.”
“That’s right!” Bing nodded: “Your prowess, although incomparable to Yan Xia, but if he wishes to kill you guys, it won’t be so easy too.”
“That leaves us the last question, disguises.” Bing rubbed his chin: “Our goal is not to fight to the death with them, and to just delay them, so that they can fight with Elder Yu. So, we need disguises.”
Tang Tian looked ecstatic, as he reached behind and took out four colorful masks.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Ling Xu kept consciously touching the mask on his face, he felt that this might be his life’s most humiliating day ever, his face was wearing a charmingly naive panda mask, and he had the tendency to take it off.
Tang Tian discussed with them, he claimed that the mask suited Ling Xu, because it was – black and white! (TN: i don’t get this..)(De Andre:I think its referencing the fact that Ling Xu wants to uphold justice but Tang Tian feels like Ling Xu would be more suited to be a robber) (Leo: People who like standing for justice, especially when they’re obnoxious about it, are often black and white. It’s either an action, person, thing, etc. is bad or it’s god. There is no “gray” area.)
Black... White.... distinct you asshole...
After that he saw the other three masks; orangutan, horse, and cat, and he had no choice but to choose the panda. He even changed the spear for a common looking steel spear.
Tang Tian who was innately childish, wore the orangutan mask, and kept imitating the orangutan’s cries. Bing’s face was not normal, and could only choose the horse mask, as the mask suited his poker face. Ghost Claw donned on the cat mask, as Tang Tian said, both of them uses claws.
“Have you guys memorized the escape plan?” Bing had the attitude and seriousness of a battlefield veteran.
Tang Tian and Ling Xu nodded their head.
In a while, a carriage appeared in everyone’s sight.
“They are coming!”
Everyone’s state of mind heightened to their maximum, they were well hidden, and waiting for the sneak attack!
