Chapter 509: Chapter Five Hundred and Five: Pilgrimage

The Wind Media Department of the Mi Clan differed in structure from that of the Tang Clan. If the core of the Tang Clan’s Wind Media Department consisted of a combination of the Wind Media elites and ordinary Wind Media, then the Mi Clan’s Wind Media Department was a different existence altogether in their manner of operations.

As clearly recorded in the Tang Clan’s scrolls, the Mi Clan’s Wind Media Department was divided into two sectors: the inner and the outer circles. The so-called inner circle was the nine-story tower in the Beast Valley of South Ridge, where the Mi Family trained blood crows and spirit birds for reconnaissance and intelligence. That was the real reason why the Mi Family was claimed to be the number one Wind Media Department in the western part of Longzhou.

Apart from this nine-story tower, in stark contrast to any ordinary Wind Media Department, the Mi Clan also had a traditional Wind Media Department, only somewhat inferior to the Tang Clan’s, which cultivated special Wind Media experts in stealth, assassination, disguise, agitation, tracking and counter-tracking, as well as building intelligence networks.

If the Wind Media of the Tang Clan were more like intelligence operatives, those of the Mi Clan’s outer circle were more like spies and assassins. These cultivators, skilled in stirring up public outrage within the crowd, were evidently trained professionals. Whoever thought about it knew the ones who were least willing to keep up this stalemate were none other than the members of the Mi Family.

Initially, they thought that the distraction set by Xiao Ziyu’s challenge could at least secure a month of peace for Red Cloud Mountain. However, they hadn’t expected the Mi Family’s Wind Media Department to have stationed people at Red Cloud Mountain long ago, ready to make a move given the right opportunity. That was indeed too much.

Tang Luo’s words sparked some spirit in the dignitaries of Xiling in the council hall. Sun Jinfang even asked again, “Does the young prodigy mean to say that this uprising was instigated by malicious people, rather than the populace having real grievances against us?”

The dignitaries looked intently at Tang Luo, hoping for a definite answer. Under such questioning, they nearly started doubting themselves, even wondering, “Could it be that our own people have been embezzling grain?” This was the terrifying power of rumor mongering, but now there was someone telling them it was all a conspiracy.

To them, if it turned out to be a conspiracy, they could cast aside their self-doubts, since the people were just being incited. Therefore, Tang Luo’s answer would be pivotal to whether or not they should continue doubting themselves.

They will remember the gratitude they felt when they received food from your hands on the first day, and they will realize, if a person were capable of abandoning his own family and wealth to aid the poor for decades, he wouldn’t be likely to embezzle a few coarse grain buns. Your acts of kindness and contributions must have left a deep impression on someone’s heart. It’s just that the common folk are shortsighted. They are easily swayed and dominated by their emotions.
