Chapter 1155 - 579: Loyal Wild Goose
In literal terms, you can’t shake her off; both of them possess the Crane Cry Nine Heavens, with Qinggong enhancements. The opponent’s realm Qi Power is even higher, so unless Chen Xuantian tears through, covered in blood, there really isn’t a proper escape route. He can only helplessly follow her to fly towards Qingcheng Mountain.
However, after a few moves earlier, he had noticed it. There wasn’t quite a need for him to flee hastily; he could very well fight.
Tang Xian’er’s own abilities are actually not particularly strong, whether measured by Nascent Soul or Martial God standards, she’d only be considered average. Against the Outer Pill of the Immortal Palace, she might fare well enough, but regarded from the Cloud Platform, she’s only second-rate at best, nothing more.
After all, she hasn’t received the Mystical Sect True Inheritance; she lacks those killer Divine Communication Techniques entirely, merely treating the Ten Thousand Colors of Strange Door and One Hundred and Eight Forms as treasures. With Chen Xuantian breaking their origin in one shout, she showed no hesitation, casually discarded them. Likely she only picked up some superficial knowledge of them, and rather than offend the Three Great Sects, she felt no regret in abandoning them.
Although the battle strength of the Tang Sect’s Martial God is truly solid, over the years Tang Xian’er has made quite a name for the Tang family in Shu, she isn’t the type to rely on brute force and gang fist training to become a Martial God. The foundation laid by Inner Strength still largely depends on the heritage of Crane Cry Nine Heavens Divine Skill.
Having mastered Innate Gang Qi to protect her body, versatile in attack and defense, sleek in Qinggong movement, adept at Flying Needle Acupuncture and assassination surprise attacks, she stands invincible unless meeting experts of the Three Great Sects. But if truly required to exert a Gang Fist to explosive power and punch Brother Billa to death, she probably can’t accomplish that.
This power is inadequate against high levels, unless she finds a better Immortal Fate, she might remain this way her entire life. It would be better to undergo Soldier Disintegration, sever worldly attachments, cut off karma, and find a Mystic Sect to join for the Righteous Path of cultivation. Chen Xuantian actually doesn’t mind offering her this aid.
However, what she picked is especially good clothing.
Yes, the leather tight outfit she’s wearing now—unless Chen Xuantian’s eyes deceive him, it might be a company product.
Yeah, after all, the style is clearly not ancient Hanfu, and previously hidden in the woods, the camouflage was fine, but nearby it was unexpected that the YCM Primordial Spirit Radar couldn’t scan her—it was very unusual. Rather than considering her a Tang family assassin, it’s more like saying she’s a company infiltration officer’s disguise.
So when they fought earlier, Chen Xuantian took the opportunity to probe, and discovered indeed the clothes possess immunity to Primordial Spirit lock-on functions. The leather seems to be a special material able to absorb Primordial Spirit Waves, with snake-like scales tilted at various angles causing the waves to slip and shift rather than bounce back; the signal radius is particularly small. Add a few centipede or spider-like toxic creatures to divert attention, it becomes even harder to discern.
Thus, while her clothes don’t qualify as a Nascent Soul Treasure, just the effects of screening Primordial Spirit lock-on and immunity to surprise attacks and calculation earn it the status of a legendary Divine Equipment.
With Peng Ju’s personality, such fine clothes would surely be kept for himself, likely not sent as gifts to an old lover. Likely, over the years Tang Xian’er herself discovered them in adventures at Qingcheng Mountain. Reflecting on Peng Ju’s memories, there are many hidden heritages in the mountains; perhaps company base-like places exist worth visiting.
At present, Chen Xuantian also exercises patience,
"Madam Tang, as the Tang family ancestor, in the midst of your busyness you still train junior members together, truly endlessly thankful."
Tang Xian’er scowled, dissatisfied, "Who is your madam! Don’t call me Shiniang, just call me Tang Sect Master!"
"...Alright, Tang Sect Master."
Chen Xuantian also puckers his lips; Tang Sect Master it is, luckily it’s not Tang Fairy...
Tang Xian’er glared at him, "Are you slandering me in your heart!"
"No, no..."
Chen Xuantian was also speechless, explained, "I’m only wondering if you, as the Tang Sect Master, are the head of the family, the unresolved matters between Chen and Tang families are pending, Tang Family’s Thirteen Young Master’s life or death is uncertain, wouldn’t accompanying me to the Immortal Demon Secret Realm delay your proper affairs. Qingcheng Mountain isn’t running away; wouldn’t it be better if I go ahead as a monk first, you..."
Tang Xian’er sneered,
"No need to try all sorts of ways to deflect, thinking you can shake me off and slip away!
I’ve shielded the Tang family for so many years, giving my uncles, nephews, and brothers due benevolence! Now my siblings are all gone! I’ve risen to the highest rank, uninhibited, unrestrained! Free to do what I please, no one dares to restrain me!
Today merely heard a rumor of youngsters eloping for fun, rushed over to watch the revelry. Totally unexpected, Cangtian has eyes! After so many years, finally found traces of the heartless man! Do you think I’ll let you run away!"
Chen Xuantian was utterly confused, "But I’ve said my martial arts were learned from the wall, maybe unrelated to Chen family ancestor? If you seek traces, shouldn’t you find that wall to question?"
Tang Xian’er stubbornly,
"No need to argue, I too have sought Immortals and Taoists over these years, traveled across all regions, don’t underestimate me as one unacquainted with proper Mystic Sects!
This Crane Cry Skill, though a martial arts path, its Inner Strength achievements, even a Mountain Man may not compare. That heartless man back then, merely a mortal body, lacking master inheritance, yet invincible in Chuanzhong! Disciples of Mountain Man’s Outer Doors and Outer Institutes, even dragged and beaten—it’s no feat mere mortals can achieve! Certainly, he was the reincarnation of Old Xuan Sect, right?
Even disregarding Crane Cry Skill’s destiny bond, you too are genuinely a Qi Refiner. Chen and Tang families have battled for years; if unrelated, one would steer clear, how could someone actively tangle themselves in their karma?
