1102: Chapter 671 1102: Chapter 671 Du Jiaolan didn’t know that Tang Feiyang had already seen her, suspected her, and was silently observing, secretly watching this man who captured her heart.
She admired and was puzzled by Tang Feiyang.
How could this man, formally adhering to Confucianism Tao, cultivate techniques from the Cultivation World?
Could it be that this man also possessed a Spiritual Root?
Why hadn’t she seen him flying in the sky before?
Could this be his secret?
Maybe this man was simply too skilled.
Even his guards and junior disciples weren’t seen flying in the sky!
Du Jiaolan loved this man and investigated all his secrets.
But despite such thorough observations, this man still managed to keep his secrets hidden—secrets of such magnitude!
Could it be a closely-guarded secret of his family, passed down for generations?
Lately, she’d noticed that why neither his junior disciples nor his guards reacted with shock to his flying—they simply weren’t surprised!
Could it be that his family already knew this secret, and were sworn not to reveal it?
Did Tang Feiyang possess an even greater cultivation technique?
The fusion of two cultivation techniques created abilities unavailable to ordinary mortals or regular cultivators—could his family also wield these powers?
Thinking of this, Du Jiaolan developed an even keener enthusiasm for Tang Feiyang’s identity!
If not for her specific assignments, she would have followed him closely, unwilling to simply lie in wait here forever!
While she was hiding, she calculated the timing, determined to act at the most critical moment, ensuring her mission succeeded decisively!
Inwardly, she sighed.
Their nation had dispatched spies here, lurking for years, and now they were finally approaching success!
Who would have thought interference from the Cultivation World would deliver a deadly blow, one after another, wiping out their operatives, with some forces even utterly annihilated!
The organization planned to send more people in a few months.
Meanwhile, the Three Kingdoms Alliance in the north received significant backing from supporters behind the scenes, using the chaos to muddy the waters!
Currently, their spies endured much hardship.
Watching as more Cultivators from the Cultivation World and motivated seekers of rewards crowded in, numerous strong and ambitious individuals arrived to undertake missions.
Against this vast tide of formidable people, their modest numbers seemed helpless in opposition.
The saying holds: “Money makes the mare go.” By releasing resources, they attracted more people eager to reap benefits!
Du Jiaolan later received new directives—if it couldn’t be done covertly, then actively interfere by infiltrating the mission teams, obtaining resources and secret manuals as rewards.
That way, their organization could use those manuals to enable their own members to cultivate!
Of course, she herself desired such manuals and elixirs, to become one of these cultivators.
That would bring her closer to Tang Feiyang!
Tang Feiyang, however, was steadfast as stone, unmoved by charms or deception.
His ice-cold demeanor rendered him immune, evading traps time and again without even the slightest trace of pity or affection!
If he were a completely heartless man, perhaps she wouldn’t feel so unwilling to let go.
Yet, the thought that he showed warmth toward her cousin while remaining distant toward her vexed her deeply!
Beyond his family and status, aside from her need to complete her mission, she longed to draw closer to him.
Du Jiaolan realized she had fallen deeply for this man, a love that might drive her mad with obsession!
Her yearning for him grew incessantly.
Tang Feiyang had no idea what Du Jiaolan was thinking.
This venomous woman, so calculating and purposeful, elicited nothing but disdain, disgust, and revulsion from him!
Tang Feiyang had entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, striving for greater strength, though progress remained challenging!
Previously, his cultivation had relied on Supreme Elixirs, which were now unavailable—impossible to buy even with vast wealth!
In the air filled with countless cultivators, he was now just an ordinary cultivator, stripped of his former brilliance.
In the Cultivation World, resources for advancing cultivation had flooded in recent months, drawing countless seekers.
During this period, as he steadily enhanced his cultivation, he had also begun learning formations at a foundational level.
Yet, he felt no pride about the progress!
These foundational formations had given him an initial understanding of the art.
Now, he was working hard to learn intermediate formations.
However, time was scarce.
He had strained every effort to make room for elevating his various abilities!
Time passed in cultivation and practice.
Meals were out of the question, and sleep was abandoned altogether.
Often, junior disciples and guards came seeking advice on matters of cultivation!
Despite being so busy, Tang Feiyang found joy as more and more powerful figures emerged before him, contemplating opportunities to showcase his abilities when the moment arrived!
The junior disciples and guards under him were too weak.
If fierce battles erupted, they might be incapable of defending themselves!
Their prayers now hinged upon maintaining control over the beast tide!
Their concerns stretched to their nation’s suspected spies, who might be hiding amid their ranks, abstaining from action only out of caution!
The three nations had lost over ten thousand cultivators, yet appeared far from being critically damaged!
Those nations might take advantage of the influx of skilled cultivators to launch sneak attacks!
Previous ambushes had been detected in advance, preventing catastrophic losses!
Tang Feiyang considered himself fortunate for being able to cultivate and learn formations, recognizing these as the keys to battle!
If it had been before, with him leading his fellow disciples along their journey, they might have been wiped out in those earlier ambushes!
Among those he brought along, there were a few who could perform basic alchemy spells—perhaps a sign that their family’s ancestral heritage was diminishing!
In terms of techniques and skills, they fell short compared to other families!
