Chapter 754: Preparing for War

Tang Hao’s expression turned cold. He took a step forward and brandished his qi aura. As he continued to step forward, the qi aura rushed forth like a raging wave and continued to grow stronger.

A violent gust of wind swirled around him, filling the sky with sand and pebbles.

His clothes fluttered in the wind, and his expression was ice-cold. It was an awe-inspiring sight.

That person’s body froze on the spot.

His eyes widened, and his old face became distorted with extreme shock and fear.

Then, his body started trembling.

“You, you, you…” He was tongue-tied, unable to speak a complete sentence.

Looking at the figure with the shocking aura walking toward him, he was about to faint.

That young kid was actually a Perfected Person!

‘Oh my G.o.d!

‘How can this be?

‘Am I losing my mind, or as the world lost its mind?

‘First, Artifacts are bought and sold on the open market. Now, the first cultivator I meet is a Perfected Person at a young age. Is this Earth? Have I gone to the wrong place?

‘The plot shouldn’t have developed this way!

‘I should have been the most powerful cultivator here, looting Artifacts, flirting with beautiful women, and having the time of my life!

‘This is a nightmare!’

Feeling the terrifying pressure in front of him, he wanted to faint and never wake up.

Tang Hao walked over and while cracking his neck. “You said you wanted to beat me up, right? Come on! I’ll stand here and let you beat me up!”

That person’s face twitched. His face turned into a deep red color.

‘You’re a Perfected Person, dammit! I’m only a half-step! I won’t be able to do anything to you!’

“You don’t dare?” Tang Hao laughed coldly. He swung his hand and slapped the man.

That person let out a miserable cry and was sent flying backward. His entire face collapsed, and fresh blood spurted out from his mouth and nose.

He flew for a full eight meters before landing. He whimpered and spat out another mouthful of blood.

Thud! Thud!

Tang Hao strolled over and said coldly, “Speak! Who are you? Don’t you find those shabby clothes embarra.s.sing?”

The man gritted his teeth and sat up. He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and revealed a ruthless expression.

“Haha! Who am I? You’ll never guess! I’m from Yin Mountain!” He cackled.

“Yin Mountain?”

Tang Hao frowned. He had never heard of Yin Mountain before.

“Hmph! Of course you’ve never heard of it before. Yin Mountain has been hiding in seclusion for almost a thousand years, living in a demi-world!

“Back then, the qi in the nine regions was increasingly exhausted. To preserve qi, many large sects retreated to their respective demi-worlds. Only the weaker sects like yours remained in the mortal world.”

“Now, Yin Mountain is about to make their return, and I am the trailblazer. If you dare lay a finger on me, you’ll die horribly when Yin Mountain returns!

“So what if you’re a Perfected Person? Yin Mountain has more than ten Perfected Persons! Killing you would be as easy as slaughtering a dog!”

As he spoke, he became more and more arrogant.

“F*ck you!” Tang Hao rolled his eyes and kicked him.

“How… how dare you kick my face!”

That person trembled all over and was about to go mad.

Tang Hao grimaced and kicked him again. Then, he fed him a Pill of Truth and got him to spill everything.

Then, he blew him up to beats.

“Yin Mountain… can be quite troublesome!”

Tang Hao stood there with a solemn expression.

According to that guy, many sects from the past had hidden themselves in secluded demi-worlds. Tang Hao had heard of legends of such demi-world before, such as the story of the Peach Blossom Spring. They were connected to this world but did not belong to it.

Those sects were very powerful with dozens of Perfected Persons each. Mao Mountain only had two.

If all of them returned, the world would be plunged into chaos.

Yin Mountain would be returning soon. No one knew when the others would return too.

If they were a righteous sect like Mao Mountain, he would certainly welcome them. However, he could not guarantee that they would not do evil, so he had to guard against them.

He had to prepare for the worst-case scenario, which would be starting a war with all those ancient sects!

“This’ll be tricky!”

Tang Hao pondered for a moment. He felt worried.

With so many ancient sects, he did not know how many Perfected Persons there were in total. The entire Union only had several powerful people. That was not enough.

“Right! There’s still the Agency. They have missiles and fighter jets! At worst, we can blow them up with a nuclear bomb.”

Tang Hao was happy when he thought of that.

“I’ll talk to them about it!”

Tang Hao muttered and walked away.

“How is it, Brother Tang?”

When Tang Hao appeared again, Liu Qiang got out of the car and asked anxiously.

“I killed him!”

Liu Qiang was shocked. “You… you killed him?”

Tang Hao did not answer and directly sat in the car. “Oh, right, you don’t have to pay me for the new pendant. You’ve been a great help, so consider the pendant as a gift. Also, this one’s for you!”

As he spoke, Tang Hao threw the jade pendant that the man had s.n.a.t.c.hed from him.

If not for Liu Qiang, he would not have found out about the return of Yin Mountain. The knowledge gave him time to prepare.

“Thank you!”

Liu Qiang took the jade pendant and beamed with joy.

“Let’s go!”

He stepped on the accelerator and set off happily.

Tang Hao flew to Province J. On the way, he informed the Taoist masters and asked them to spread the news. Then, he called General Bai.

“d.a.m.n! What’s going on in the middle of the night?”

General Bai yawned and said in a daze.

“This is something serious!”

Tang Hao’s tone was grave.

On the other end of the phone, General Bai s.h.i.+vered and immediately became much more awake.

“Something serious? What is it?”

“We’re going into a war!”

“With whom?” General Bai was at a loss. There was nothing much going on in the country. Nanyang had been demolished, Dongying was about to be crippled, and Merrica was currently in an amicable relations.h.i.+p with that kid.

Who else could it be?

He thought that the world was finally at peace, and he could enjoy his vacation. Now that the kid said that they were going to war again, that was such a bother!

“A hidden sect! It will be a tough battle if we go to war with them. It will require the full involvement of the military. We don’t have enough people in the Agency.”

Tang Hao briefly described the situation to him.

On the other end of the phone, General Bai was silent for a long time.

“Sigh! That’s indeed something serious! I’ll have to report it to the Higher-Ups,” General Bai said.

“Okay! We’ll meet at Mao Mountain!”

It was seven o’clock in the morning when he arrived at Mao Mountain.

Dragon Tiger Mountain and the people from the cultivation families had also arrived. Everyone was waiting for him in the main hall.

“President Tang!”

Everyone stood up and greeted him respectfully when they saw him arrive.

“Please sit down! We have to discuss this matter with the utmost seriousness!”

Tang Hao walked to the head seat and sat down.
