437: Another punch

Solar Star Lord was taken aback, then his expression turned gloomy. He nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Holy Monk!"

Tang Ku nodded. "Then, one last thing: which city did that Luo Hou Star Lord occupy?"

"This... if I recall correctly, it should be a place in the northwest called Stone City!"

Solar Star Lord thought for a moment and said, "Yes, that's right, it's Stone City!"

"Stone City?" Tang Ku was slightly startled. "Turkic territory?"

"Yes, yes, that's it. I remember it was called something like 'Tu...', so I suppose it must be the Turks you mentioned!" Solar Star Lord nodded.

Tang Ku thought for a moment and nodded. "That's right. The Turkic Jiali Khan has not paid tribute to the Great Tang Empire for nearly two years! Heh, very good, very good indeed. As you said, if they really occupied the Turks through Possession, then I won't have any psychological burden when collecting some interest!"

Tang Ku's smile made Solar Star Lord shudder. Before he could respond, Tang Ku's figure had already vanished, leaving a sentence swirling in the palace.

"There is one more reason why you are still alive, and that is the book in your hand!"

Solar Star Lord was taken aback, then looked at the table. It turned out to be a medical book—none other than Sun Simiao's "Qianjin Fang" (Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold).

"Sigh, a single thought of kindness has saved my life," Solar Star Lord smiled bitterly.

"I don't understand!" Xin Huan suddenly appeared behind him and asked in confusion. "How is that a reason?"

"This book was written by Sun Simiao, the Peak figure of Great Tang medical Dao. I observed that Chechi Kingdom is small and its people are weak, often suffering from diseases. Once we leave their bodies, it's possible we might cause harm to them. So, I wanted to look through these prescriptions to see if there's a way to harmonize it! He must have realized my intention, which is why he didn't kill me!" Solar Star Lord smiled bitterly.

"No matter how strong that Sun fellow is, he's just a Mortal. What use could a Mortal's prescription have?" Xin Huan asked curiously.

"Sun Simiao once traveled to the Dragon Palace and obtained ancient immortal prescriptions," Solar Star Lord said. "Among them are many immortal Pill Formulas, which are not only useful for Mortal bodies but also very useful for our souls!"

Xin Huan nodded. "Then what should we do now?"

Solar Star Lord said, "Stay put and wait and see. Tang Sanzang's strength is incomparably formidable. I think if that one doesn't make a move, Luo Hou and the others are finished. It's their own fault; they can't blame anyone else... Hmm, go report to the Heavenly Lord and see what instructions he has!"

As he spoke, he stopped paying attention to Xin Huan, picked up the book again, and smiled bitterly. "Every drink and every bite is predestined!"

...

In the northwest, Great Immortal Zhenyuan, along with Wu Zhen and Ao Lie, had already arrived above a massive city. The city was filled with an Islamic-like style, looking peaceful yet eerie.

It was peaceful because, in the middle of the night, the entire city was silent. Except for the largest building at the very back of the core area, the rest of the houses had not a single glimmer of light.

It was eerie because, from Great Immortal Zhenyuan's perspective and senses, this city stood in the Mortal world, yet it was as conspicuous as a massive ball of fire.

"It's Immortal Qi!" Great Immortal Zhenyuan said in a deep voice. "It seems we've found the right place!"

Ao Lie said in a deep voice, "Yes, I feel it too. It's a very strong Immortal Qi. The Immortal Qi here is almost like that of the Immortal Realm..."

Wu Zhen suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Look, those guys are heading toward the building in the back. That must be their base camp!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuan checked the orientation and couldn't help but frown slightly. "I have seen the map of the world drawn by the Great Tang... If I'm not mistaken, this location should belong to the Turkic Kingdom..."

"That's right. The base camp Wu Zhen mentioned just now is the royal tent of the Turkic Jiali Khan. To put it plainly, it's actually the same thing as our imperial palace!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuan turned back abruptly, frowning slightly. "Sanzang, how did you get here? Did you not continue following that Xin Huan?"

Tang Ku said in a deep voice, "I followed him... and learned a lot of things... The reason I rushed here first thing is to destroy this kingdom!"

"Uh... isn't that a bit too extreme?" Wu Zhen said, shocked.

"Extreme? Heh, what if I told you that the ones who destroyed the Xi Liang Womens Kingdom are these very guys here, occupying the magpie's nest?" Tang Ku sneered.

Great Immortal Zhenyuan smiled bitterly and helplessly. "I know I can't persuade you... Hmm, I will only remind you of one thing: no matter what, do not lose your original heart, and do not... do not slaughter too excessively!"

"I know!" Tang Ku nodded. "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion. The people who carried out the task of destroying the Daughter's Country were already blasted to death by me back then. Now, as long as they don't seek death, I will only execute the chief culprits!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuan did not stop him and cleared a path for Tang Ku. Tang Ku's figure flashed and appeared above the Turkic royal tent, leaving a sentence behind: "Ao Lie, Wu Zhen, you two stay here. Don't move until I tell you to make a move!"

The two disciples looked at each other and nodded.

Tang Ku arrived above the royal tent. Without saying a word, his body suddenly shot upward, flying toward the high altitude. He didn't stop until he reached an altitude of three or four thousand meters. The town below looked like a tiny dot, appearing so insignificant.

Narrowing his eyes, Tang Ku positioned himself head down, feet up, and suddenly kicked against the air, plummeting downward... No, it should be said he charged straight down. And every few seconds, he would kick against the air again, adding acceleration to his descent.

As a result, Tang Ku's speed became faster and faster. From a distance, it looked as if he had turned into a straight white line, charging fiercely toward the Turkic royal tent below.

At a distance of one hundred meters from the top of the royal tent, Tang Ku suddenly threw a punch.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the entire space appeared exceptionally silent. But immediately after, a terrifying scene appeared before Great Immortal Zhenyuan and the other two, accompanied by a deafening roar.

With the Turkic royal tent as the center, the entire city of Stone Kingdom trembled, and then it was crushed into ruins by a massive pressure. The shockwave, carrying a strange force, swept over. Even Great Immortal Zhenyuan's body swayed a bit, and Wu Zhen and Little White Dragon Ao Lie were even worse off, blown back several hundred meters by the airwave before they could barely stop. The fierce wind howled, blowing so hard they couldn't open their eyes.

And when they regained their sight, the Turkic royal tent before them had long since vanished. In its place was a massive fist imprint more than two hundred meters in diameter. The entire royal tent had turned into powder, and the entire city had instantly turned into a ruin!

Tang Ku was still hovering one hundred meters in the air, shouting sternly downward: "Luo Hou, get out here, this Buddha! Otherwise, don't blame me for going on a killing spree today and using all of your blood to pay tribute to the million souls of the Daughter's Country!"
