264: Chapter 264 Anyone Want to Quit?

Upon seeing Tang Long at that moment, High Priest Shang Yuleng couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Your Excellency, why are you here!"

Tang Long, who was practicing his skills, nodded to him.

"Bishop Shang, thank you for your hard work."

"It was just a journey, hardly hard work. But you... weren't you at the martial arts hall? Lv Yang and the others have already gone to see you."

Tang Long smiled slightly, his figure suddenly flashed, and another Clone appeared, leaving High Priest Shang Yuleng dumbfounded.

"This is..."

Tang Long didn't answer. Instead, he took off the prosthetic hand, then had the Clone condense a Qi blade to directly wound the stump again, and then passed it over his eyes once more.

Seeing the flowing blood, High Priest Shang Yuleng almost cried out in alarm.

But in the next second, he saw the flesh at Tang Long's eyes and stump churning. With waves of green light dissipating, a new pair of eyeballs was restored within a few seconds, and the severed arm was also rapidly growing back.

Just a minute later, looking at the fully recovered Tang Long, High Priest Shang Yuleng was dazed.

Tang Long then asked, "Bishop Shang, can I trust you?"

High Priest Shang Yuleng's expression was extremely unnatural.

The Saint's abilities were truly inconceivable.

This kind of divine technique that could bring the dead back to life and grow flesh on bones was said to have existed in the First Saint Lineage back then, but it was too long ago, and no one had ever seen it.

But the Clone Technique... was not recorded in any of the scriptures of this Saint Lineage.

Your Excellency showing these in front of him seemed like a sign of trust, but also like a warning.

But those secrets in his heart...

"What should I do to make Your Excellency trust me?"

"Trust must be built on honesty; you should understand this very well. If I were full of lies, you wouldn't believe me either, would you?"

High Priest Shang Yuleng's scalp felt numb. He had a strong intuition that Tang Long already knew something, otherwise he wouldn't have asked this as soon as they met.

What was going on?

Could it be Yuqing?

No! That was absolutely impossible!

Although she was willful and mischievous, she couldn't speak carelessly about something involving their lives!

Or... did the Saint have some other ability to peer into her memories?

This possibility was much greater.

Let alone a Saint, even the priests below had some means to make people tell the truth. If the bishops performed some rituals, they could even directly peek into memories.

But the Saint's abilities must be much more Advanced than that, so...

"Is it very difficult?"

"You didn't think it was a coincidence that I asked you to intercept Rong Baichuan and Wei Jian before, did you?"

"Besides you, I also made an appointment with Chief Manager Xie of Feng City. Your time is running out; you should cherish the opportunity."

High Priest Shang Yuleng's psychological defense was completely broken, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"I'll talk."

Everything became simple after that.

High Priest Shang Yuleng tearfully recounted his story with blood and tears, while Tang Long guided him from time to time.

After feeling several times that 'Your Excellency indeed already knows,' he no longer had any scruples.

High Priest Shang Yuleng spoke in more detail, and many details even surprised Tang Long.

Thirty years ago, when the siblings fled to Dongyu, it was actually through the connections of Qin Bing's grandfather.

There was also that Pure Yuan True Explanation, which was a Wuque Method passed down by the Yuanwu Imperial Family. He had cultivated from nothing to the Spirit Map Realm step by step based on this.

He had only taught Shang Yuqing yesterday, and he didn't expect her progress in getting started to be even faster than his.

Moreover, it wasn't that he didn't have women, but he similarly had no offspring even though he was nearly fifty.

Hearing this, Tang Long couldn't help but sigh. "It should be under the influence of the Martial God Bloodline."

High Priest Shang Yuleng was shocked. "You even know about this?"

"I know a little. The more powerful the Bloodline, the more difficult it is to reproduce, because the power within that Bloodline is simply not something ordinary vitality can withstand."

At this point, Tang Long changed the subject. "Your problem, in the final analysis, is a problem of strength. How can an ant overturn a mountain?"

High Priest Shang Yuleng sighed. "Yes, I have endured until now because of insufficient power. The Yuanwu Kingdom is truly too powerful, so powerful it makes one despair."

"To overturn the Emperor of the Yuanwu Kingdom, there's no hope for now. You might as well set your goal a bit smaller first and rescue your mother. If it's just a rescue, one or two Huagai Realms might make it possible."

High Priest Shang Yuleng smiled bitterly. "You make it sound too easy. How difficult it is to go from Spirit Map to Huagai Realm! Liu Zhiming, Wei Ye, and Lv Yang are all not mediocre, yet they are all stuck at this stage."

"There are also many Spirit Map experts, even Peak experts, who are unable to break through their entire lives."

"Although I reached the Spirit Map before forty and am younger than them, it seems I have hope. But time passes too quickly; ten years have flashed by, and I'm still stuck in the same place. Huagai Realm is out of reach."

Tang Long stood up directly. "Follow me, and you will soon be able to touch the edge, and even a short-term Breakthrough is not impossible."

High Priest Shang Yuleng was surprised at first, but quickly calmed down again.

Although this Excellency had various miracles, in terms of Realm, he himself was still only at Qi Manipulation.

It's normal for young people to talk big and sometimes speak out of turn.

Oh well, it's already like this anyway.

As long as he can speak for me in the sect, let him say whatever he wants.

Just then, a vibration suddenly came from outside the cave, followed quickly by the sound of footsteps.

It was also a Spirit Map expert.

And before the person even arrived, the cursing arrived first.

"Tang Long, what kind of shitty place did you find? It's pitch black and has a weird smell!"

"There's not even a signal down here. No wonder you haven't been answering your phone."

"I say, can we meet in a brighter environment next time, even if it's more remote?"

"Eh? You are... Bishop Shang?"

High Priest Shang Yuleng was also extremely surprised to see Yun Zhuoyue, who had just entered the cave. "Group Leader Yun, you... you're at the Spirit Map?"

Yun Zhuoyue's face suddenly became a bit serious because, according to yesterday's agreement, her advancement to the Spirit Map had to be kept secret for now. For this reason, she didn't even plan to return to the city for these few days.

When she entered the cave just now, she thought it was Xie Jin inside.

But now, she found that Tang Long had brought High Priest Shang Yuleng as well. What was the point of keeping it a secret now?

Tang Long first explained to High Priest Shang Yuleng, "Group Leader Yun has a solid foundation. I gave her a small hand yesterday, and she successfully broke through to the Spirit Map."

"Given the current situation, her strength needs to be kept secret. Currently, only a very few people know."

"Group Leader Yun, Bishop Shang is not an outsider. I trust him."

Yun Zhuoyue let out a cold laugh. "Not an outsider. Heh, is that because of his sister? If you can't control that thing in your pants, my blade skills are very good; I can help you."

Tang Long swung his arm as if showing off. "It's no use. Even if it's cut off, it'll grow back."

"Shameless!"

"You were the one who brought up the lower parts first!"

"At a time like this, you're still influenced by women. I must reconsider our partnership."

"Sure. Anyway, as a mere Lower Realm Spirit Map, even if you enter the Divine Ruins, there's no chance of peeking into the Huagai Realm. If you want to rest, go back to sleep."

Yun Zhuoyue and High Priest Shang Yuleng asked in surprise almost at the same time, "Divine Ruins!!?"

At this time, Xie Jin's figure also drifted in like a gust of cold wind, his expression equally shocked.

"Your Excellency Tang Long, you're not joking, are you?"

Tang Long shook his head. "I received urgent intelligence today. Xu Chaoyang has already made full arrangements."

"After the Song-Sangyu alliance is formed, his first target will be Feng City."

"I, and all of you, are probably the people he wants to eliminate."

"To protect yourselves, one of you must reach Huagai Realm as soon as possible, otherwise we'll have to prepare to run."

"Does anyone want to quit?"
