With the Unlimited Beginning and End Movement Technique and the buffing of the Xuan Increasing Law Containing Wings, his current speed in the Cloud World was no slower than End Realm cultivators.
However, his Celestial Power was limited and stamina was far weaker than them. If he travelled at 40%, he could use the light and spiritual energy to replenish his body, not consuming anything at all.
Which was why when he arrived in the Imperial City four hours later he was still filled with energy.
From 100 miles away, the atmosphere of the Great Shang capital was still really merciful and peaceful, no different from before. There was only a layer of black mist which covered the sky.
Zong Shou looked over expressionlessly before continuing forwards. However, before he got close, a person blocked in front of him. He was around 20 and his expression was really solemn.
“Shiyue?”
Zong Shou stopped and looked over coldly, “Are you trying to stop me?”
Shiyue’s eyes were filled with a complicated expression as he laughed bitterly, “I also don’t know what I should choose! Yinyu and you, no matter who dies, life is about to be wiped out. Since the Dark World Demon Court has acted, the other alien races would too. The time of troops invading the Cloud World isn’t far away, however, we are still fighting among ourselves. How many Saint Realm experts died in just one Qin Emperor Tomb? Not Great Shang and Great Gan should band together. If we start war, others will profit…”
Zong Shou’s face was cold and he didn’t reply. His arms were behind his back and his eyes were filled with disdain.
“If I remember correctly, your father is leading four million troops to attack the newly built pass city that I created. Is Jingling also in danger? Why don’t you say these words to Yinyu?”
Shiyue frowned, an awkward look appeared in his eyes. If one talked about starting war, Great Shang was indeed the one that did that.
His father Shi Qianli was the Shang Army Commander so he didn’t have any rights to say those words to Zong Shou.
However, Shiyue wasn’t dispirited, “The Emperor is just clumsy and doesn’t know how strong the alien race is which is why he started the war. As long as they attack the Cloud World, he will understand the situation. When the time comes, naturally, he will work together with Great Gan.”
Zong Shou was stunned as he smiled towards Shiyue, “You want me to give up on Tianfang World and force Yinyu to join hands with me?”
As expected from that person in his memory. Although his life was really decisive and overbearing, there were many times when he was really vicious and went all out.
Shiyue avoided and didn’t reply, he bowed, “The ten Jiedu Minister Armies, two million Dao Soldiers is not something Great Gan alone can block. Even if you win, the other alien races will attack. To defend the enemy and not be affected by the flames of war, we have to combine the power of the entire Cloud World, of the two countries and the six factions. For the Cloud World can Your Majesty please bear with it. Moreover, is there really a need to take such a risk, it is also not worth it…”
“For the Cloud World?”
Zong Shou laughed, the mocking intent in his eyes got even deeper, “In my eyes, only the weak will bother. Since Yinyu doesn’t, then neither will I. Whether or not life is wasted in the chaos in the Central Cloud Continent, what does it have to do with me? As for the Dark World Demon Court and Tianfang World, even if Great Gan dies we won’t let them get over us!”
While saying this, Zong Shou stepped over from the right side of Shiyue, killing intent exploded out and entangled with him.
However, when he passed, Shiyue didn’t do anything.
Zong Shou squinted, a bright light appearing in his eyes.
Son of Heaven Sword, Great Qin Son of Heaven Sword! So that item fell into his hands!
Then, who got the Shanhe Pearl?
Since he had this sword, then even if he had the wings, this person was still able to go against him.
As expected, from one of the most lucky people in the era!
A series of thoughts passed his mind and then he stopped and said expressionlessly, “I am grateful for Jin Buhui’s matter! However, whoever tries to stop me today is my enemy! Even if the Saint Venerables come here, I will pull my sword and kill them! You are no exception…”
Shiyue sighed and his aura also slowly disappeared.
“My Emperor is slowly getting comfortable with the twelve Copper Men. Li Biexue is also within, setting up the Yin Vein Spirit Slaughtering Formation. Anyway, take care of yourself later!”
When these words were spoken, Zong Shou was unable to sense where Shiyue was at.
Zong Shuo didn’t care, directly crossing the 50-mile sky and heading to the area in front of the Xuanhua Gate.
He raised his head and looked towards Jin Buhui’s head that was hanging there.
At this moment, there was still an endless stream of people entering and exiting the city.
Maybe as a month had already passed, very few people cared.
However, occasionally there would still be people who cursed out. Some bold ones would toss decomposed vegetables at it. The Great Shang Army here also didn’t stop them, instead they giggled and gloated.
Zong Shou thought back to the past, his expression became tragic. Who knew that greedy and optimistic fellow would end up in such a state?
He directly reached out, a purple streak of light grabbed towards the head on the wall.
Jin Buhui’s head had already decomposed and it was useless to take it. Zong Shou directly grabbed his soul.
Within there were many seals placed by the spirit masters but they were useless to Zong Shou.
The Great Shang troops outside noticed that something wasn’t right and they all pulled out their weapons with shock on their faces.
“Who are you? He is our Great Shang traitor and needs to be hung for 100 years! If you try to take his head, you are his accomplice!”
One of the general-like people stepped out. However, before he even came over, his head exploded, his blood and flesh splattering about.
Zong Shou was too lazy to argue with them. The rage that gathered over the past seven days charged in his chest.
He spread out his spiritual sense over 100 miles such that spiritual energy ravaged the area, energy seeping in all directions.
The vast spiritual sense caused everyone that passed to panic and not know what to do.
The animals and Cloud Stepping Foals all knelt down, their bodies trembling.
Warning bells rang out over the city. The soldiers were all unable to move, their noses and mouths bleeding.
However, on the city wall, there was still someone who activated the machinery to drop the heavy door.
Zong Shou was too lazy to bother and with just a thought, Jin Buhui’s soul appeared in front of him.
He was still fat, similar to how he looked when he was alive. However, he wasn’t in a good state. With his Spirit Realm Cultivation, even after his body was split apart, he couldn’t even maintain his soul body and had to rely on Zong Shou.
He seemed to be resisting some sort of pain such that his consciousness was in a muddy state, even not noticing that Zong Shou had arrived and that his situation had changed.
“Soul Torture?”
Zong Shou’s expression changed, even if he knew it long ago but his heart still felt a twitching pain.
Yinyu’s orders were to use the torture every seven days. However, it could cause him to be in pain every day. Only on the final day of the seven days could he breathe freely.
He was only able to not lose his mind after a full month due to his strong willpower.
He instantly took out a spiritual liquid, flicking it out into his body.
The latter was released from his pain and came to his senses. He looked around with a seemingly lost expression before focusing his eyes right on Zong Shou. He instantly understood and smiled.
“My Teacher said a few days ago that you would personally come over to get my body and take Yinyu’s life. As expected, you really came…”
Zong Shou kept silent. He had the Life and Death Cereus and had the Life and Death Mystery Change ability.
As long as he had a bit of flesh and blood or soul, he could revive someone.
However, Jin Buhui’s current situation was too much for him.
Although his soul was complete, it had been tortured too much.
“Why?”
He sighed in disdain. It was extremely cold and also filled with the tone of someone who was really annoyed.
He knew that he was in a bad situation and knew that Yinyu wouldn’t listen to him. He didn’t wait quietly in the jail and instead started to diss. How stupid, how really stupid!
“There are some things I cannot do but some I have to do. I can’t avoid it just because it is bad or just do something because it is good for me…’
Jin Buhui said in a righteous manner but seeing how Zong Shou was staring at him coldly, he only laughed awkwardly.
“I was really bored in the jail so I just spoke, I couldn’t control my tongue. Who knew that he would really get the twelve Copper Men? If I knew that it would happen, I wouldn’t have spoken at all. If Ruler sees the officials as his hands, then they will see him as their heart; if he sees them as useless people, then they will see him as an enemy. Since he doesn’t care about me, then why would I bother about the life or death of Great Shang!”
He was really dispirited, like he regretted the past.
Zong Shou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This was the Jin Buhui he remembered.
Jin Buhui suddenly muttered, “However, Zong Shou you don’t know the pain of the people. In just three years, a large number of refugees surged outside the city. There are over seven million. I was demoted and ruled 100 miles of land. The 100,000 people under me couldn’t even breath. The Spiritual Wave is rising and the land is fertile but the people are finding it tough to live. Once war starts, large amounts of people will die.”
Zong Shou kept silent. Was this the reason why Jin Buhui took the risk to submit so many letters?
He looked at the people around coldly.
“Then, now what? You are seen as a traitor. Not only did he kill you but he tortured your soul such that you can’t even revive. Those people that you love hate you to the bone and everyone abandoned you. Is it worth it?”
