Chapter 466: Chapter Four Hundred Sixty-Two: Waiting

Tang Luo was unaware of the machinations working between the two clans. These days he had been in seclusion, dedicated to practicing martial arts. The Mi Clan was gunning for him which contributed to him laying low, but more importantly, he was waiting for a person—Du Sha, the guardian of Red Cloud Mountain.

Upon reviewing all the records of the Red Cloud village, Tang Luo’s respect for this last guardian grew deeper.

A typical person, faced with the weight of their family generation’s imminent extinction would manifest extreme changes in behavior.

There isn’t just the Red Cloud Skill in the martial world, many of these techniques have all sorts of issues. There are many that like the Red Cloud Skill, results in decreasing fertility within a clan.

Accumulating all the information gathered by the Wind Media Department, gave one some insight into these clans who practice such martial techniques.

Following the detonation of flaws within martial routines, many cultivators saw drastic changes in their temperament— mild-natured practitioners transformed into volatile, irritable individuals. They went from cherishing life to treating it with disdain. Some, in their despair, eradicated their entire clan- old and young alike.

For the gloomy Red Cloud village, it was on the edge of extinction. Du Ziteng was married at fifteen and took in concubines. For three years there was no progeny. Du Sha had every reason to tread on the wrong path as he had no attachments, yet he stuck to his core values, acting as a chivalrous guardian at the border of Xiling.

Despite the tragic sense of a hero at his end, someone who could retain his True Heart and channel it throughout his martial arts journey is always admirable.

However, no matter how steadfast Du Sha’s martial spirit was, it didn’t change the fact that the villagers of Red Cloud Mountain were in dire straits. After all, if a solid Dao Heart equated to invincible might, what would be the point of training and striving?

The edicts of Xiling’s Five-Acre Law changed the lives of Xiling’s people somewhat in just half a year but they were far from prosperity. Being able to find food within three days of advance notice of a flood was a drop in the bucket, compared to the long-term impact of the flood.
