Chapter 97 Thousand Birds Screaming

This chapter is updated by Novelfree.ml

Tang Lianyue of Tang Clan. Among the previous generation of the Tang Clan, he was the most skilled in hidden weapons.

At the age of 13, he mastered all thirty-six ultimate skills of the Outer School. At the age of 14, he was already proficient in the Tang Clan’s top hidden weapon technique, Flying Flowers of Ten Thousand Trees. At 15, he was head of the Tang Clan Commandment Hall, and in charge of hunting down traitors of the Clan. Within three years, he killed a total of sixty-four traitors. Not just people from other martial sects, even members of Tang Clan, treated the three words, Tang Lianyue, like the name of a ghost or a god. He left Tang Clan when he was 19 years old and his whereabouts were unknown. Eight years later, he returned to Tang Clan, and headed the Tang Clan's largest organization, which was the Outer School that oversees the martial arts training of the disciples. Later, he stepped down and built Lianyue Pavilion, where he focused on researching his own hidden weapons.

Nobody had any doubts that as long as Tang Lianyue was willing, the position of the next Grandmaster Tang would be his. Besides, no one would want to be an enemy of such a person.

The ones who’d arrived were three present teachers of the Outer School. Tang Huang, Tang Lianyue’s junior and the present head of the Outer School, created his own hidden weapon, Dazzling Brilliance, by mixing fire elements into his hidden weapon. He claimed the weapon possessed the ultimate killing power that could ignite a blaze for a hundred miles. Tang Xuan, one of the teachers of the Outer School, devoted himself to the study of poison and was the most proficient poison user in the Tang Clan. Tang Qisha, one of the teachers of the Outer School and successor of the Tang Clan’s secret hand arts “Heaven Roller”. Unlike the others who were proficient in hidden weapons, he cultivated the art of breaking all hidden weapons under Heaven. Even though the three of them had arrived together, they didn’t really want to fight Tang Lianyue.

Plucking water or plucking the moon, half lost in wind and rivers, and half lost in clouds. It was said that after the age of thirty, Tang Lianyue never carried hidden weapons on his person again. He used the world as a hidden weapon, and he used himself as a hidden weapon!

"Lianyue, we didn't come here today to fight with you!" Tang Huang said urgently.

Tang Lianyue ignored him. With a wave of his hand, the black wings floating in the air flew out suddenly, and the wind roared as if a thousand birds screamed out in alarm.

"What hidden weapon is this?" Tang Xuan frowned slightly.

"Who cares what hidden weapons he has." Tang Qisha stepped forward. His hands were wearing “Heaven Roller”, which were constructed out of pure silk and said to be able to break all hidden weapons under Heaven. He jumped out suddenly, drew a circle in the air with his hands and captured those black-clothed wings into his hands. "Because no hidden weapon can escape from the Heaven Roller!"

Tang Lianyue smirked, and took off the entire robe. His hands twitched and all the wings started floating up. "The name of my hidden weapon is Thousand Birds Screaming. Your Heaven Roller can stop all hidden weapons under Heaven, only because those hidden weapons are all non-living, whereas my hidden weapons are alive."

Seeing those wings rushing towards him, Tang Qisha was stunned in his heart. He waved his hands, trying once more to stop the "Thousand Birds Screaming", but this time the power was much stronger than the last time. Just as he hesitated, a voice suddenly came from behind, "I will assist!"

Tang Huang stepped forward, waved his hands, and threw out his ultimate hidden weapon, Dazzling Brilliance. It was a fiery red hidden weapon, with sparks of fire burning around, and where Dazzling Brilliance passed, those wings were lit up one after another, falling like rain. It was a strangely beautiful sight in this dark night.

Tang Lianyue looked at this scene, but his expression was still very mild. His face did not waver in the slightest.

"Lianyue-shixiong, this time we are here simply to pass on Grandmaster’s orders. Please do not take even half a step out of Lianyue Pavilion for the next three months." A gloomy voice sounded. When Tang Lianyue was exchanging moves with Tang Huang and Tang Qisha, Tang Xuan had already sneaked up to Tang Lianyue's side, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Look out!" Ye Ruoyi exclaimed. She noticed that Tang Xuan's palms were dark green. For him, his entire person was already a deadly poison. When such a person touched your shoulder, it was definitely not a gesture of friendship. Moreover, a layer of smoke seemed to be dispersing from under Tang Xuan's feet.

"Such paltry tricks." Tang Lianyue snorted coldly, and the smoke that dispersed from Tang Xuan's feet suddenly retreated, from outside to inside, from the smallest to the biggest, they all retreated bit by bit.

Tang Xuan looked surprised. "The counter-poison technique.."

"Back then, my hidden weapons were number one, but don't forget, I am also number one in using poison." Tang Lianyue turned around and put his hand on Tang Xuan's shoulder. "And you will always be number two."

"Lianyue, you are a little too conceited. Withdraw." Tang Huang had also rushed to Tang Lian's side at this time, and opened a box in his hand. The silver light inside the box was full of murderous intent.

Tang Clan’s top hidden weapon, Tempest Pear Blossom Needles.

However, Tang Lianyue didn't take back the hand on Tang Xuan's shoulder, and Tang Xuan's pallor became more and more poor.

"Lianyue, withdraw!" Tang Huang exclaimed again.

"You can press that box, but believe it or not, the one who will die by the Tempest Pear Blossom Needles will be Tang Xuan," Tang Lianyue said quietly.

"I believe you, because you are Tang Lianyue." Tang Huang bit off each word. "Tang Lianyue, the number one in the Tang Clan. But today, you are not allowed to leave. All three of us can die here, and the thirty disciples below can also die here, but we still won’t let you leave."

"I don't want to leave. But these two people in the room, you let them go," Tang Lianyue said.

"In the room, there is one who is the most outstanding disciple among Tang Clan’s current generation. He has no reason to leave. As for the other, the Grandmaster wants to see her. I can't make the decision," Tang Huang said.

"Whether there’s a reason to leave, depends on their own choice." Tang Lianyue turned his head and looked at Tang Lian. "Tang Lian, take Miss Ye and leave from here."

Tang Lian stood in place at a loss. "But, shifu.."

"You still haven't made a choice?" Tang Lianyue turned around and asked him, "I heard that you made some friends in Snow Moon City. They’re now on their way to Lei Clan Fort. Coincidentally, there are also people from Tang Clan going to Lei Clan Fort. If nothing happens, very soon, at that Lei Clan Heroes Banquet, those friends of yours will die. If you haven't made a choice, you might as well save your friends first."

"Lei Wujie and Xiao Se.." Tang Lian was shell shocked.

"Still can’t decide? Well, Baili Dongjun didn't manage to teach the disciple I wanted." Tang Lianyue sighed.

Tang Lian nodded, and his eyes suddenly brightened. "At this moment, I really haven't made a choice. But Baili-shifu taught me four words."

"Which four words?" Tang Lianyue asked.

"Move with your heart." Tang Lian suddenly grabbed Ye Ruoyi next to him, jumped up, stepped onto the railing, and dashed out.

"Stop him!" Tang Huang shouted angrily.

Tang Qisha rushed forward and stopped in front of Tang Lian.

"All of you scram!" Tang Lianyue raised his eyebrows suddenly, and threw Tang Xuan at Tang Huang. When he turned around, a poisonous gas suddenly condensed on his hand. With a flick of his hand, the poisonous gas was aimed at Tang Qisha. Tang Qisha was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand to disperse the poisonous gas. But using that moment of pause, Tang Lian passed him and stood on the opposite roof.

Then, Tang Lian stopped in surprise.

An old master was sitting beside him, smoking a pipe leisurely. The old master had kind brows and pleasant eyes, and even turned to smile at Tang Lian. But Tang Lian seemed to be frozen in place, his back drenched in sweat, and he didn't dare to take another step forward.

Until a voice with a slightly relaxed smile rang past his ear.

"Grandmaster, you are here too." Tang Lianyue also stood on the roof, bent down and sat down beside the old master.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, so I’ve come to see you." Grandmaster put down his pipe and knocked it hard on the side.

"Tang Lian, I will have a chat with Grandmaster. You go ahead," Tang Lianyue said suddenly.

Tang Lian hesitated for a moment, and glanced at Grandmaster.

"Go then, just go. When kids grow up, you can’t hold them back anymore." Grandmaster sighed.

Tang Lian immediately turned around and swept away towards the distance.

Tang Lianyue watched Tang Lian’s figure moving further away, and finally sighed slightly. "Grandmaster, this time, I have let you down again."

Grandmaster took a long pull from his pipe and shook his head. "Who knows."
