Chapter 2320 -2315: The Day of Calamity

Murong looked at Tang Ming seriously.

Her words really left Tang Ming stumped.

Tang Ming stared blankly at Murong for a long time, then said, “This… really isn’t easy to explain. Gehou, you tell her.”

Among the three of them, if anyone truly understood the power of the Plane, it would only be the true body of the Plane’s power, the Nine-headed Goose Deer.

The Nine-headed Goose Deer had been controlling Gehou’s body all along, the earlier attacks were all led by him. Hearing Tang Ming’s words—

Gehou stretched out a hand, took out an aluminum basin, then patted the inside of it. The bottom of the basin was like a spring, and a lot of clear water gushed out.

“Drip a drop of blood in.”

Gehou set the aluminum basin down in front of Murong.

Murong nodded. She used a fingernail to cut her fingertip, and fresh blood dripped into the basin.

A splash rippled across the water’s surface, and in no time the whole basin of water turned blood-red.

“See? The Plane power of Taoyuan World has already acknowledged you.”

Gehou pointed at the water in the basin and smiled as he spoke.

Murong let out a long breath. “Good, good… I really don’t dare imagine how terrifying it would be if my clansmen turned into those things.”

“As long as you don’t do anything harmful to the Plane, the Plane won’t reject you. Even slaughtering the native residents of the Plane is the same.”

Gehou’s voice was a little cold. Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er exchanged a glance and sucked in a breath of cold air.

“Those people you wiped out with your magic before… they all seemed to be natives of Taoyuan World, right?”

Murong looked at Tang Ming, but still used the corner of her eye to sneak a look at Gehou.

Judging by Gehou’s outfit, she was clearly a maid, but her strength seemed absurdly high.

Tang Ming nodded. “Those people were already tainted in soul. This Plane would reject them sooner or later. We merely sped up that process, that’s all.”

“So that’s how it is. Thank you, City Lord Tang Ming, for coming to help. As for the remaining riffraff, I’ll contact my clansmen to deal with them.”

Murong thought that since Tang Ming had already wiped out most of them, the remaining ones were well within the ability of the Twin Clan and the Jin Family to handle.

What surprised her was that Tang Ming shook his head. “The reason we stopped attacking is because there are a lot of problems here that need to be handled.”

“Oh? You don’t want to finish them off?”

Murong’s face changed at Tang Ming’s words.

Tang Ming shook his head again. “Clan Leader Murong, you don’t understand. The ones we destroyed were all cannon fodder. The ones left are the real enemies. And the abilities of the Twin Clan and the Jin Family are extremely important. You haven’t been trained for combat yet, you’re not suited for this kind of battle. My West Continent City garrison will be here very soon.”

Right as Tang Ming finished speaking, the Communication Spiritual Stone on him started ringing.

Tang Ming picked up the Communication Spiritual Stone. On the other end, the voice of the Demon Slayer Clan’s old Prophet’s guard, Broken Horn Alec, came through the stone.

The Communication Spiritual Stone was something Tang Ming invented together with Hu Jiusheng. This thing has an array radiation source; within a certain range, the radiation sources can communicate with each other.

Inside West Continent City, this device was extremely popular now, the single most favored item among the common people.

On top of that, the border defenses, the army, and several major Families had all installed high-powered versions, and many relay towers had been built out in the West Desolation.

“City Lord, I’ve already reached the location you indicated earlier. When can I see those damned outsiders?”

This time leaving the old Prophet, Broken Horn Alec felt extremely uneasy. He was the Prophet’s guard, and for so many years he had always stayed at the Prophet’s side.

The Prophet of the Demon Slayer Clan was different from the other clansmen. He couldn’t cultivate; the older he got, the weaker his body became. No one knew how much longer the old Prophet could live.

West Continent City had given the old Prophet the best care, the best housing, the best of everything. But the days he could enjoy these things were few.

Recently, the old Prophet had used his Prophet Power many times already, including foreseeing where his next incarnation would appear.

And Broken Horn Alec felt that if this mission couldn’t be completed fast and bring him back quickly, he might not get to see the old Prophet one last time.

“Oh, you’ve arrived? Good, I’ll come meet you. We’re very close to you; the Jin Family people and Clan Leader Murong are here as well. We’ll rendezvous first, then move on those bastards. I’ve already taken care of the cannon fodder.”

Tang Ming cut off the Communication Spiritual Stone, then turned to look at Murong beside him.

Murong stared blankly at the Communication Spiritual Stone in Tang Ming’s hand and said, “City Lord Tang Ming, what kind of treasure is that?”

Tang Ming froze for a second, then said, “This is something I invented. Mei’er’s father and I worked together to create a type of Magic Treasure called the Communication Spiritual Stone. When we make it, we set a fixed code on the stone. Adjusting the code lets you connect to the other party. But because of signal interference, only when two Communication Spiritual Stones are close enough can they contact each other.”

“Clan Leader Murong, once you get to West Continent City you’ll see that there are many things like this. The buildings in West Continent City are all built very tall. Tang Ming also told me before that your Twin Clan is the race best suited to building cities. West Continent City really needs you right now.”

Hu Mei’er looked at Murong with a cheerful smile. Tang Ming gave Hu Mei’er a big thumbs-up from the side—this round of drum-beating was really on point.

Murong nodded. “Mm, looks like leading my people to West Continent City really was the right choice.”

Murong and Hu Mei’er chatted and laughed along the way. Hu Mei’er talked a lot about West Continent City.

This time, the Twin Clan would be heading to West Continent City; the Holy Maiden Palace would also be heading to West Continent City; the Bing Family hadn’t fully committed yet, but they had already formed an alliance with West Continent City.

You could say the gains were huge.

When Tang Ming met Broken Horn Alec, Alec urgently grabbed his hand. “City Lord, where are the enemies? Let’s set off tonight and attack. I need to hurry back to West Continent City as soon as possible.”

Tang Ming raised his brows slightly. “Senior Alec, what’s wrong?”

Broken Horn Alec let out a long sigh, then said, “I have a feeling the Prophet is avoiding me. He wants me away from his side. His days are numbered, and he doesn’t want me to be that heartbroken.”

“Can’t the Prophet be reborn in the body of a newborn Demon Slayer Clan child?”

Tang Ming’s brows lifted a little as he asked.

Broken Horn Alec nodded. “Yes, but it still takes time for a child to grow to the point where he can speak. That period is called the Calamity Days by the Demon Slayer Clan. During the Calamity Days, I have to stay by the clan’s side and protect them.”
