Chapter 1213 - 1212: Taking the Easy Way In
Leng Pengfei thought the black-clad man had given up on them. Before returning, he had already prepared himself to be killed by the black-clad man,"We got lucky this time. If we don't get things done next time, our master will take our lives back."
Leng Pengfei said to Li Tao.
Li Tao felt a twinge of anxiety.
This was not the outcome she wanted.
"Leng Pengfei, I don't think being so forceful is the way to go. How about finding another way out?"
Li Tao, as a woman, wasn't adept at taking a straightforward approach. But when it came to small schemes that were effective, she had more tricks up her sleeve than Leng Pengfei.
"What method?"
Leng Pengfei rarely listened to others' opinions. If he hadn't been forced into a corner today, he wouldn't have listened to Li Tao either.
"Well, this..."
Li Tao whispered in Leng Pengfei's ear.
"Li Tao, I really underestimated you."
For the first time, Leng Pengfei showed a satisfied smile.
Keeping Li Tao alive didn't seem like a bad idea after all.
"Of course, don't think I just live under your shadow. I can be useful occasionally too."
Li Tao knew that after Li Qi Qi's death, the anger in her heart had finally subsided a bit.
Even though Li Qi Qi was dead, Li Tao's hatred for Tang Rao hadn't lessened. She hated Tang Rao because his appearance forced her out of her home. It was Tang Rao who personally 'killed' her, and Li Tao vowed to avenge this.
The black-clad man suddenly appeared outside the Mountain Gate.
As soon as he reached the wall of the Mountain Gate, he sensed a wave in front of him. As he took a step forward, just as he was about to enter, the wave surged, pushing him back.
The black-clad man quickly backed away, standing up to see that he was already marked with the same thing as Li Tao and Leng Pengfei.
Even with just one touch, the black-clad man was severely injured.
"God's Light Ring?"
The black-clad man recognized it at once, spotting the thing atop the Mountain Gate.
No wonder Li Tao and Leng Pengfei couldn't get inside. With this thing there, the black-clad man couldn't enter casually either.
Good job, Tang Rao, you even managed to get your hands on God's Light Ring. Seems you have some skills.
The black-clad man thought to himself.
Seeing people coming and going inside, while he couldn't even get past the door, a shadowy anger made the black-clad man unhappy.
In urgent need of action, the black-clad man quickly wrapped his wounds with white powder to prevent further exposure.
After failing once, the black-clad man thought of trying a second time.
The second attempt also failed. Considering a third try, the pain shattered his courage. If he dared to try again, he might just call himself "daddy" for his bravery.
"Tang Rao, I won't let you go."
The black-clad man couldn't confront Tang Rao now, but once Tang Rao's power reached a certain Realm, the black-clad man would have a chance to contend. Then, who knows who that position truly belongs to.
"I never asked you to let me go. Hey, first meeting, sorry for not giving you a proper welcome."
When the black-clad man appeared, Tang Rao also showed up.
With a protective layer between them, Tang Rao could make any gesture or express any anger towards the black-clad man, as if the whole world owed him a debt.
"Didn't expect our first meeting would be under such circumstances."
Since he was discovered by Tang Rao, the black-clad man didn't leave immediately.
He wanted to see Tang Rao's reaction upon seeing him.
"No worries, we were bound to meet eventually. Meeting the living is better than meeting the dead, so it's all good."
Tang Rao said with a face full of contentment.
"Just heard from mine that Leng Pengfei and the others were burnt to crisps, is that true?"
Tang Rao deliberately asked, just to provoke the black-clad man and curb his arrogance.
"Tang Rao, God's Light Ring can't protect you forever. If you're so cocky now and can stay the same in the future, I'll admire you as a true hero."
After saying this, the black-clad man turned and left.
He was irked, the God's Light Ring he longed for had fallen into Tang Rao's hands and acknowledged Tang Rao as its master; a well-blended Light faction's God's Light Ring couldn't tolerate the presence of darkness. For the black-clad man, entering the Mountain Gate had become extremely difficult.
"Hey, don't leave, why leave so fast? I still want to see what you look like. Leaving so quickly after I waited so long?"
No matter how much Tang Rao shouted after him, the black-clad man never returned.
Once out of the black-clad man's sight, Tang Rao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter how powerful God's Light Ring was, it was only temporary. If the black-clad man truly wanted Tang Rao dead, he had many ways. Arguably, he could have attacked earlier, theoretically speaking.
Could a deity truly not overcome God's Light Ring?
Perhaps not, the black-clad man just didn't want to waste unnecessary energy or power on something futile. Maybe if he rushed in with all force and then faced Tang Rao, Tang Rao would simply reap the benefits. Nothing was certain until a critical moment.
"Tang Rao, Liu Da has something to discuss with you, want to come and see?"
Fang Jinxiu searched high and low, finally spotting Tang Rao by the wall.
"What's the matter?"
Tang Rao pretended like nothing had happened earlier and asked.
"I don't know, he seems really happy, but I asked him why and he wouldn't say."
Fang Jinxiu wasn't very interested in their men's business.
"Alright, I'll go check."
Tang Rao took Fang Jinxiu's hand, inquiring about Liu Da's whereabouts, and quickly headed over.
"Liu Da, hit the lottery, did you, so happy?"
When Tang Rao arrived, Liu Da was there laughing to himself.
People around again thought Liu Da had lost his mind.
"What lottery?"
With Tang Rao's arrival, Liu Da slightly restrained his laughter.
"Boss, guess what? In the previous contest, the Mountain Gate was promoted, and because of the Tingzhou Li Family's big fire, they can't find anyone now. Old Sir Li initially applied to merge the Li Family with the Mountain Gate just to try, and it was approved."
Talking about it, Liu Da was rather pleased.
"So, what good does the merging of the two families do for us? Why are you so happy about it?"
Tang Rao retorted.
With Li Family and Mountain Gate merging, two families become one. Previously, if one side failed, Tang Rao could rely on the other to make a comeback. Now, if Mountain Gate fails, Tang Rao has no chance to recover.
"That's what I'm excited about, the Judge Committee approved a resolution to increase Mountain Gate's score by majority. Because Mountain Gate is relatively weak, before the new adjudicator takes office, the judges assigned a few easy opponents to Tang Rao's Mountain Gate, winning which would be a piece of cake."
Liu Da said excitedly.
