Chapter 293: Chapter 53: Li Hao Emerges, Crisis in Liangzhou (Third Update)
Even the Demon King would have to avoid its edge.
The only drawback is that the attack unleashed by the damaged battle flag is indiscriminate, so Li Hao could only plant the flag a hundred miles outside the city.
Although ordinary military flags are not placed that far or that aggressively, afraid of accidentally damaging the flag and triggering the burst of the markers, Li Hao had no choice but to do so.
With these battle flags and the array, along with his own shadow clone stationed there, Li Hao felt that Cangya City, even without him, would hold firm should the Demon King attack, at least for the time being.
With this in mind, he was free to attend to another matter.
He had long been concerned about the reward from the Listening Rain Tower.
The Cultivation Techniques in the Listening Rain Tower were numerous and in no way inferior to Listening Rain Tower; should he find some other Peerless Meridian Opening Skills and Qi Circulation Skills, Li Hao felt he might be able to open all 108 major meridians!
Combining this with the Yin and Yang Dual Pulse, achieving full meridian circulation through his body, would undoubtedly bring a great enhancement, and he might well reach the Extreme Realm.
To this day, the Dayu Divine Dynasty’s records seem to have no one who has achieved full meridian circulation.
Perhaps there were such people, just unrecorded, or perhaps the books in Listening Rain Tower are not comprehensive enough.
For example, that Buddha or that true person, Li Hao guessed, might have possibly achieved full meridian circulation, considering they have lived far too long, had enough time to practice many Cultivation Techniques, to temper themselves, and to open more acupoints.
On this trip to Tianji Tower, Li Hao did not bring Ren Qianqian, planning to make a quick visit and return.
He left the Dragon Soar Sword with his shadow clone to oversee Heavenly Gate Pass and also told Feng to stay and guard the place instead of following him.
Now, even if he encountered a powerful Demon King, he would be able to fight or flee.
Moreover, after reaching the Sixth Stage of his movement technique, Feng passed on his movement technique, the Heaven and Earth Traceless Skill, to Li Hao.
Li Hao’s proficiency in this skill was only slightly inferior to Feng’s.
However, relying on the acceleration attribute of the manual, he could make up for it.
Therefore, in escaping, Li Hao was now already quite adept.
More than his own safety, Li Hao was concerned about demons taking advantage of his absence to launch a sneak attack on the Heavenly Gate Pass.
At the moment, using the Myriad Attributes to conceal his aura, Li Hao followed the guide from Tianji Tower out of the pass.
However, as soon as the guide left Heavenly Gate Pass, the Bird Demon from Tianji Palace hiding in the dark corners of Cangya City perceived his movements and relayed the news.
“The guide from Tianji Tower has left the pass!”
“Previously, we received information that he was coming to Cangya City to meet Marshal Haotian, who gained the first place in the Grandmaster’s Tournament and was awarded the opportunity to visit Tianji Tower to peruse the Cultivation Techniques.”
“He finally left the pass, is he going to leave Liangzhou?”
“Did you see him?”
“No, but he might have hidden his tracks.”
“Could this be a decoy?”
In Tianji Palace, a chorus of Bird Demons chattered and discussed.
Standing beside the girl in the red dress was a girl in a purple dress, a few years older, around fifteen or sixteen, with an attractive appearance. A tuft of purple feather adorned the black hair on her forehead, adding a noble grace to her liveliness.
“Actually, he doesn’t need to deliberately deceive us unless he wants to lure us into attacking Heavenly Gate Pass, but both the Dragon Gate and the Sacred Palace have already agreed to devour Liangzhou first before pulling out this thorn last!”
“He cannot possibly know our plan, so there is only one possibility for his actions: he fears we will attack Heavenly Gate Pass during his absence, which is why he’s hiding his tracks,” said the girl in red briskly.
The girl in purple nodded slightly and said, “Correct, but his concerns are unnecessary. Without killing him, attacking Heavenly Gate Pass is pointless. Now, while the young man is away learning new Cultivation Techniques at Tianji Tower, which will take some time, this is the perfect opportunity to attack Liangzhou.”
“Go notify the Dragon Gate immediately and see how much longer their elder needs to leave the pass.”
“Yes, Elder.”
