Hong Jiuchen’s Wushen Palace wasn’t within the world but was in the void, another space which was opened up.
Naturally, it couldn’t be like the Vast Habitats of the Cloud World, but it was still quite mysterious.
Zong Shou took just six hours and he was standing in front of the palace.
He swept about, only to see that the restrictions here were really tight and strict.
Zong Shou didn’t force his way through, stopping outside of the palace gates.
“So that was the case, its a Space Magical Treasure. No wonder he could open up a space, like a small-sized world. Hong Jiuchen is really fortunate to be able to acquire such a treasure.”
This item was something that even he was envious of. This place could not only be compared to a huge Heaven and Earth Bag, but it could also open up a sealed space at any moment.
If the restrictions and seals were even tighter, even Saint Realm Experts wouldn’t be able to spy into the things that were happening within.
Several Spiritual Senses spread out from the depths of the palace.
They weren’t surprised at Zong Shou’s arrival. In just a few moments, there were a bunch of young servant girls who led Zong Shou in.
In just a moment, they were within a large and majestic hall. Beautifully and exquisitely decorated, a thing of beauty.
However, within this 1,000-foot hall, apart from some young female servants to pour wine, there were only a few others.
Yuan Jiuchen and Tanjing were seated, the others like Mufang and Fuyue were also among them.
They were the few people he saw that day in Yuanlian World.
When they saw Zong Shou’s arrival, Mufang and Tanjing’s expression became slightly weird.
Hong Jiuchen laughed, “I originally thought that Ruler wouldn’t have time to come over. Shouldn’t you be preparing your stuff to leave the Yuanlian World. I really didn’t know that you gave me so much face. I am really delighted, please sit…”
At this moment, everyone within the hall took their seats. It seemed like they really didn’t expect that Zong Shou would come over.
There was only a jade table at the end of the hall which was empty.
Zong Shou didn’t bother, looking interestingly toward the person who was sitting right beside Hong Jiuchen.
It was a 40-year-old middle-aged man. His face was thin and withered like a skeleton.
Who knows what race he was from, he was shorter than normal people. At this moment, he just sat there, even when Zong Shou came in, he didn’t stand up to greet him.
He just impassively looked over before not bothering anymore. His expression was really arrogant.
Zong Shou laughed, thinking to himself that this person was really a special breed.
To use such a unique Dao-like poison to such an extent, even being able to reach Peak Celestial Realm, he must have used some secret techniques.
The price he paid wasn’t small either. His body looked like he was poisoned too, unable to touch anyone else.
Out of his five senses, he also lost his sight and taste.
He shook his head. Although Zong Shou was wary about this person, he wasn’t interested in him anymore.
He was wary because this person’s control of poison had reached the pinnacle and he might unknowingly fall for his tricks.
He was uninterested. As long as he was a little more careful, such a person who relied on secret techniques to reach such a level definitely wasn’t his opponent.
It was really a joke if they thought that they could restrict him with this person here.
After saying this, Zong Shou turned his head and smiled at Mufang, “Let’s hope Brother Mu sticks to the agreement!”
Mufang’s expression changed slightly as he stared over viciously.
Hong Jiuchen who was above scoffed coldly, “Brother Mu has already told us everything you two talked about that day. If you are trying to sow discord, you really chose the wrong plan!”
“Is that so?”
Zong Shou laughed and looked at Tanjing, only to see him shift his head away awkwardly, “Brother Hong is going to win, so there is no need for Ruler to do such useless things. Although we had an agreement before, looking at the situation today, Ruler won’t have the strength to enforce it.”
Zong Shou nodded his head, understanding the situation. His previous impression of Tianfang Guild had totally collapsed.
They placed their bets on both sides and didn’t take responsibility for themselves. They had totally no bottom line and no eyes at all.
If he sent troops to attack and truly conquered the many worlds, then Tianfang Guild would definitely be the first one that he would wipe out.
Leaving such a power behind him was like waiting to be stabbed in the back, who knows when they would betray him?
However, it was fine, he said those words that day just to test them out.
It wasn’t beyond his expectation for that person to be like that.
The moment Tanjing said this, he heard another person beside him laugh arrogantly, “This is the first time I have seen someone as dumb as you over these 1,000 years. Deacon Tan and Hong Jiuchen, although they were enemies these few years, they worked together so many times, they are pretty much on the same boat. If Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty takes over Yuanlian World, Tianfang Guild will control 70% of trades. Only you would be so stupid to believe him.”
That person shook his head, “You are the disciple of an End Realm expert. Actually, it is okay if you don’t follow the rules once or twice. You can just attack to kill them both. Would Tianfang Guild dare to make a sound. Even if Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty is unhappy, they will have to take it. Did the Seven Saint Alliance do anything when you killed Jiujing? Now it is too late, how amusing, how amusing…”
Hong Jiuchen held a jade cup in his hand without saying a word. Tanjing laughed coldly and didn’t bother.
Anyway, the matter had reached such a stage, so these few people could say whatever they liked.
Zong Shou listened on and couldn’t help but nod his head.
That day when he took over, he had investigated and found out that Tanjing controlled a region and had a good relationship with the other powers.
Due to him, the other few powers of Yuanlian World were able to maintain balance.
He even sent troops several times to help Jiujing secretly.
Now, it seemed like doing all that was just to bargain.
Zong Shou’s arrival had broken that balance, naturally, those two people would walk on the same side.
At this time, he didn’t expect that Tanjing and Hong Jiuchen were in cahoots long ago.
If he really didn’t care about anything, he could have killed them all a month ago.
However, he had another reason for agreeing at the start.
Moreover, was it any good for him even if he did that?
Make enemies on all sides?
The Seven Saint Alliance might fear Dragon Shadow, but if a few of the powers worked together, they might not.
If he really did that, he wouldn’t be able to advance much in the outer region.
If he wanted to take down Yuanlian World, he should do so by removing all future repercussions and make the other people yield.
He recognized that the person who spoke was Fuyue. Zong Shou smiled and then walked to the table at the end.
Along with him sitting down, tunes instantly sounded out from below.
Dozens more exquisite looking females started singing and dancing below.
They cultivated in charming techniques and they were beautiful too, making them enjoyable to the eyes and refreshing to the heart.
However, no one within the hall focused on their singing and dancing.
They all drank quietly, their expressions were all different.
