Zong Shiyuan’s face was evidently a little bitter, “It is because I am unwilling which was why I let them fight. But now, I have no choice anymore…”
His eyes showed some hesitation, “For Zhou’er to cause so many waves in Jiefu City and also have a general like Zong Yuan pledge loyalty to him, he isn’t as useless as what outsiders think. Who knows, he might be able to inherit my brother’s work. I need to think about it.”
As he said those words, he lowered his head, his heart filled with worry as he walked out.
Hu Qianqiu smiled slightly and didn’t pay much attention. He swept the hall and his eyes stopped, only to see that Zong Shi hadn’t left. He smiled coldly over, his mouth moving like he was saying something.
Hu Qianqiu observed carefully, following which his eyes constricted. He could recognize that Zong Shi was saying “you forced me”.
…
Gantian Mountain City was in a huge buzz. In the eastern cloud ocean, on a small island surrounded by clouds, a red swift bird pierced through the air.
However it was suddenly wrapped up by spiritual patterns, its speed was 5 times that of normal red swift birds. When it landed it was beside a very clear small lake, in the hands of a handsome teen dressed in a green robe.
A moment later that teen’s face turned green, his right hand clenching up as he crushed the bird into pieces.
In front of him sat quietly a white robbed person, seeing the situation his brows furrowed, “Senior Brother Han what made you so angry? The bird is innocent, why did you have to kill it?”
That person who had a square face, a magnanimous attitude was actually the Lingyun Sect 3rd generation first seat Long Ruo!
Facing the handsome teen, after being slightly startled he revealed an apologetic expression,” junior Brother Long don’t be annoyed, Ni Shui lost my cool. Only because of a matter which made me angry and nearly lost my senses.”
Looking at the hand, the apologeticness was more apparent.
“A moment of anger had actually caused that!”
After sighing slightly, several talismans flew out from Han Nishui’s sleeves. They hung in mid-air, following which the runes shone a silver glow, many thin lines spat out and covered up the corpse of the bird.
Within Ni Shui’s hands, several small specks of light shone.
A short moment later, the pieces of blood and meat collected together, like time was turned back as the body of the red swift bird was quickly regenerating. A moment later it had opened its eyes, flapping its wings in a sentient manner and flying upwards.
Long Ruo looked in silently until the bird flew away before smiling, “Senior Brother Han’s reincarnation soul technique is so amazing. Dead things, meat, white bones, really making use of heaven and earth!”
“It’s not worth mentioning! I have far from completed this technique. I still need to rely on the talismans from the teacher to use it. To revive a red swift bird that died just moments ago isn’t much to speak of…”
As Han Nishui said that, his eyes were filled with self-mockery, “On the other hand junior Brother Long really makes me ashamed. I remember 4 years ago you were at the initial return to sun realm. In just 2 years you will begin body forming right? To think I am ten odd years older than you and cultivated 20 years earlier and am only a 2 talisman Return to Sun realm.”
Long Ruo smiled when he heard that, but didn’t reply. Such things couldn’t be replied to. His eyes turning, he suddenly had a thought and looked carefully at Han Nishui’s hand. Only to see that the paper had 2 words “Zong Shou”.
Thinking about it, Long Ruo opened his mouth, “Senior Brother Han, if it is convenient can you tell me what is annoying you? Maybe I can help you.”
That Han Nishui frowned, This Long Ruo usually knew his place, so why would he ask about his personal matters today.
He originally wasn’t going to reply but seeing his expression so solemn, he hesitated a little before bitterly smiling, “I don’t mind telling junior Brother about this. Anyways, a few days later, everyone will find out. A few days ago didn’t out Sect order the sects of Donglin Cloud Continent to form alliances to face a common calamity? Our sect leader chose Pill Fountain Sect in the end, to set a marriage. Using 5 ancient mystery chill pills to exchange for marriage with one of their female disciples to be my dual cultivator partner.”
Long Ruo was slightly startled, thinking what did this have to do with Zong Shou. However, to pay 5 ancient mystery chill pills, this female disciple must be really talented.
“Marriage? That’s a good thing, did something happen?”
“Indeed. Did brother Long hear of Xuanyuan Yiren?”
Seeing Long Ruo’s eyes shine like he did hear of it before, Han Nishui didn’t bother to introduce, frowning, “She has a fiancé which is the Gantian Mountain prince. Originally Pill Fountain Sect promised that they would annul the marriage, but a few days ago, who knows what that Zong Shou did, but he made the Xuanyuan City lord make him the next City lord and personally agree to the marriage. Not hiding from junior Brother, I’m not angry because of a loss of face but because I really like Xuanyuan Yiren and want her to be my partner…”
Long Ruo’s eyes were filled with understanding but there were some parts he didn’t understand, “There’s no need to be furious, your Sect is 3rd of the 19 spiritual houses. Although that Zong Shou is the Gantian Mountain prince and has some identity, he’s just trash that can’t cultivate. Even if your Sect doesn’t personally act, there are many ways to wipe him out.” Describing it simply like he was talking about something that couldn’t be any simpler.
“Junior Brother you don’t know.”
Han Nishui looked at the letter in his hands, his tone was still really bitter,” Just a while ago my Sect disciples told me that Zong Shou used 3 thousand iron cavalry to crush 400 thousand Blazing Flame and Yunxia Mountain troops at Ruohai Straits. Zong Yuan under him used his 4 meridian body to slay several Xuanwu ancestors. He probably has the ability to be a famous general. It is said that when he made a blood oath he caused a heaven phenomenon. And also Yiren who is the top pill refiner in Donglin Cloud Continent. Although the dual meridian body might stop others it won’t be hard for her. With Gantian mountain’s resources in 3-5 years, it will be solved…”
When he heard those few words Long Ruo’s expression had changed slightly. Using 4 meridian bodies to slay several Xuanwu ancestors, blood oath causing heaven phenomenon.
That Zong Shou actually had such a talent under him?
He was slightly regretting in his heart. He suppressed it and smiled, “If it is because of that matter then you don’t have to worry. I also know that Zong Shou. Not only is he dual meridians, but his soul is also broken and has barriers from heaven. His bloodline, apart from the 7 tail sky fox, there is also the Lu family air burning blood. He actually doesn’t know and wants to dual cultivate. It’s okay if he doesn’t but if he continues, he will burn in flames! Even if he passes that he wouldn’t be able to deal with the barriers from heaven.”
“There is such a thing?”
Han Nishui’s expression relaxed a little, a cold smile flashed across his face. But after thinking about it he shook his head, “Even then, it would be difficult. Although Gantian Mountain doesn’t have any ascended level experts, they have millions of troops, connected to the luck of the cloud continent. With this unparalleled general talent protecting, he might not be won in war. Although my mysterious cloud Sect is strong, we might not be able to make him give way. As for those downright dirty methods, I am a proper person. Unless I have really no choice, I don’t want to use them…
Long Ruo’s face flashed with a bit of respect, “Senior Brother Han is truly an honest person!” Thinking for a moment, “No worries. It is because that Gantian Mountain is too strong and will definitely join the Ying dragon valley matter. Even with one more Zong Yuan, it would still be dangerous. If Zong Shou really tries to be the Monster king, then he would be not far away from death. Even if he is able to survive with fortune, there are still ways. My Lingyun Sect has relationships with him and maybe we can persuade him to give up. A Phoenix is different from the common bird, the top pill talent in the continent and trash that can’t cultivate, just thinking about it you know is impossible. I looked at that Zong Shou and he doesn’t look like a fool.”
Han Nishui was instantly overjoyed, bowing towards Long Ruo, “Then at that time I’ll have to ask junior Brother for help!”
“Senior brother and I click really well, and if I can help I naturally won’t sit and do nothing! Furthermore, the Donglin Sects are working together against a calamity. This is also the instructions from my sect leader. This spiritual wave rising, and we should all work together.”
Long Ruo smiled, cupping his fists. Just as he was about to speak. He heard a bell ring sound from afar, his brows furrowing as he looked over. Until 3 rings passed did he speak, his mind deep in thought, “The seniors should have completed discussions on that matter. One time using up 2 days, what a surprise.”
“It isn’t surprising!”
Han Nishui also stood up and looked into the distance, “Junior brother doesn’t know that this isn’t only because of the fight for spots for the dragon gathering mountain martial saint remnant images, but it is also because of the huge fall in beast crystal and mind stone prices. I heard that junior brother has been in secluded cultivation these few months you might not know right? Tens of days ago, someone bought spiritual pills for low prices. The sects of the 5 continents and 12 islands all noticed the spiritual wave. Then, they went all out to sell their items, causing the prices of the beast crystals and mind stones were 1/20 of their original prices and the decrease still hasn’t stopped. Speaking of which, it also has something to do with that Zong Shou. He took out hundreds of grade 7 beast crystals, unrestrainedly purchasing. I heard that this prince had earnt so much, but he also knew how to stop. In just a few days, he sold all his pills at market price to Taiyuan Sect and Wujue Villa, obtaining their protection. Unfortunately, he can’t cultivate. If not just his intellect alone, his future achievements would be extraordinary…”
Long Ruo’s expression was instantly absentminded, why was it this Zong Shou again?
