He said, “There’s also one matter that I need to inform your highness about. Not long ago, I will personally head towards Xuan Mountain City to propose the marriage. Originally, I wanted to give up on it, but I have changed my mind and I would like to compete with your highness…”
Zong Shou’s gaze froze as he looked coldly at Han Nishui, the latter didn’t care as he said expressionlessly, “Maybe your highness thinks you are a pearl in the night sky and doesn’t see put me in your eyes. However, this proposal is something my Mysterious Cloud spirit sect is since about. We even asked help from Madam Lim’s senior from her sect in the past. I have some confidence to change city lord Xuanyuan’s mind. Gentlemen go after good women. Yiren is a top talent of the pill making path and her future is limitless, he would consider her future. Her lifespan would last thousands of years, above that of mortals. She isn’t a good match with your highness. Today, I won’t persuade you to give up, I just want a fair competition with you. If you lose, then don’t blame me. My words end here, look out for yourself!”
Zong Shou was confused. Why was he telling him that, was there something wrong with his brain?
Zong Shou looked towards him in pity.
He knew that Xuanyuan Yiren’s mother seemed to be a mighty person, however, it would depend on who the person was.
2nd generation direct disciple of the common people path compared to the status of Han Nishui, one couldn’t use logic to calculate the gap between them.
As long as Li Sina wasn’t foolish she should know what choice to make.
After Han Nishui finished he shifted his gaze to Jin Buhui, the smile on his face turned gentle, “Is this Haoxuan Sect 3rd generation direct disciple brother, Jin Buhui? With brother Jin’s identity, why are you mixing with such a person? Haven’t you heard about how phoenixes and other birds aren’t the same? I have a few friends that I would like to introduce you to, they are all the talents from various sects. Is brother Jin willing to give me face?”
Jin Buhui wasn’t willing to bother after hearing that he rolled his eyes coldly and smiled involuntarily, “Like what you said, dragons are different from snakes, phoenixes don’t screech to birds. Since you know this theory, then why don’t you scram? What right do you have to stand with the 2 of us here?”
Han Nishui’s expression instantly turned white, his gaze turning dark and cold. His eyes were filled with rage, he wanted to blow up but it was like he was worried about something, forcefully suppressing it.
In the end, his expression turned cold as he said seriously, “Fellow Jin has faced too little things and is too young, easy to be tempted by scheming people. I will act like I didn’t hear your words. Just a word of advice, be careful when you make friends. Don’t regret them in the future!”
After he finished he crossed his arms and left. Jin Buhui scoffed, as he did that he saw a group of people walk over.
This time it was a male and a female. The male’s face was squarish, his demeanor was calm and stable whilst giving off a tiger-like aura. The female’s face was extremely devilish and pretty, her eyes like a stream as she looked at Zong Shou like it was filled with emotions.
“Some time ago I heard that you gave up on your cultivation. Before this, I didn’t believe it but today it seems like it is the case.”
That male was first to speak, coldly looking down on Zong Shou who was sitting on the green stone, “That day you broke the 2 formations on my Pill Spirit Mountain, high spirited and invincible, shocking my entire Lingyun. Today, meeting you, I feel pity for you instead.”
Zong Shou was helpless and raised his head, exchanging glances with this teen. They had met once at Pill Spirit Mountain, Yan Feibai who said he would find him to have a battle 3 years later. At this moment, he was looking over at him with sympathetic eyes.
“When I heard that news felt disappointed. However, today seeing you come here, I feel happy. At least you didn’t truly give up. Today I am the 4th generation direct disciple of Lingyun Sect, I won’t have a one-sided battle for our 3-year arrangement. Let’s change it to 10 years, within 10 years no matter what your identity is I will find you to fight!”
Zong Shou thought to himself that this fellow was too arrogant? Was he so free to have to fight him?
Yan Feibai didn’t give him a chance to reject, taking his leave. However, with his personality, even if Zong Shou rejected it, he wouldn’t care.
The girl behind giggled, “He is just crazy, don’t bother about him. Do you remember me? We met that day on Pill Spirit Mountain, my surname is Ge and I am called Hanyun…”
Zong Shou nodded his head, naturally, he remembered this girl, he also had a really deep impression of her. In the god-emperor game, in the future, he had fought her many times. Yan Feibai and her became the pillars of Lingyun Sect.
Seeing that Zong Shou still remembered her she immediately smiled happily, “It’s good that you remember! I don’t care what others say, I only know that someone like you won’t be true trash in the future. I have high hopes for you. If your fiancee doesn’t want you, why not let me marry you?”
Saying a few sentences, this random teen also left too. Jin Buhui had a weird expression on his face, “Zong Shou what did you do? Why does everyone think that you are a piece of trash that can’t cultivate? These people have no eyes. That Han Nishui is a joke, to say that Pheonix and birds shouldn’t be together. I don’t even put people like him in my eyes, compared to you he is just scum. Also that Yan Feibai his talent is not bad. But to fight with you is he asking to get humiliated? Only this girl has some taste.”
Zong Shou smiled awkwardly, the reason was quite complicated. With the fact that the past Zong Shou was indeed a piece of trash and also because of what Lei Dong and Zhao Yanran did. Anyways, today, even if he told everyone that he is a Return to Sun realm spirit master, no one will believe him.
Jin Buhui asked curiously, “Oh right, that Yan Feibai said you broke the 2 platforms of the Lingyun Sect, what was that?”
Zong Shou wanted to avoid that topic, but he couldn’t hide from Jin Buhui’s curious gaze. He had no choice but to explain, “When my father disappeared, I tried to join Lingyun Sect but not only did they reject me, they also humiliated the people that came along with me. In anger, I smashed both the Heaven Talisman and Sky sword platform.”
“Then Lingyun Sect still didn’t accept you?”
Jin Buhui was startled, following which just by looking at Zong Shou’s expression he knew the answer. He was instantly speechless, he said in disbelief, “Are the people of Lingyun Sect really stupid? Did water enter their heads?”
The more he thought about it the more he couldn’t believe it. He was amused, a thought rising in his head. If he dragged Zong Shou into his sect, how happy would his teacher be?
Zong Shou felt something on his side and suddenly raised his head. Only to see that on the rock high up on one side there were a few gazes who looked over with probing intentions.
Amongst them was Long Ruo. That gaze made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Beside him was an old man dressed in Taoist attire. His cultivation was similar to that Xuan Taiji who looked over interestingly.
Zong Shou’s eyes slightly closed, He didn’t mind much, continuing to meditate on his own. Anyways he was going to enter from the outer gate so he wouldn’t interact much with these people.
…
“This kid is Zong Shou?”
The same time that Zong Shou shifted away from his eyes the old man on the rock smiled as he asked Long Ruo.
Seeing the latter bow and answer, the old man smiled, “He has some external force around his body I am unable to see anything. I only know his body shape and bones are extraordinary. If he cultivates he would be a great ingredient. You saw him before and confirmed he has dual meridians, barriers from heaven and a broken soul?”
Long Ruo’s expression turned serious and he replied without hesitation, “Most definitely! This kid has been dual meridians from the start. As for his barriers from heaven, one can tell from his lack of achievement in cultivation and spells which isn’t due to his dual meridians. This kid was decisive and decided to make a sacrifice, dissipating his cultivation to help leave some chance of survival for himself.
“Is that so?”
The old man brushed his long mustache and then shook his head, “This is the first time I, Ling Lie have met such a person. No wonder you saw wrongly at that time. No one could have expected him to inherit the throne and reclaim the lost land. Although you are responsible, it isn’t a huge mistake.”
Long Ruo’s expression instantly relaxed as he bowed, “Senior master please explain!”
“For this person to break the sky sword platform and draw the 12 heaven talismans, his high talent is extremely well! However, since he has a dual meridian body, it would be difficult for him to have any achievements in this life. Those barriers from heaven can only be broken by less than 0.1% of the people in the world…”
Ling Lie sighed, filled with regret. Following which his gaze turned cold as he swept the thousands of people below.
“Have you investigated the situation? Does such a thing exist in the Dragon Gate?”
This time Long Ruo shook his head, “That thing has always been a rumor, how could one investigate it. However, such things won’t be spread for no reason. I only know that the last time when the dragon gate activated, that person was there. As for whether he brought those things in, I don’t know. Yesterday, that ant path person released his hundred thousand demon fire crystal ants to search the entire mountain, causing many people to fall. This time the number of people who gathered in the dragon gate is several times more than expected. I guess that some people have gotten the news.”
Ling Lie didn’t reply. His expression was really serious like he was thinking about something.
That Long Ruo continued, “Which was why I asked the sect to send more disciples to the outer gate. With my guess, that thing has a 30% chance of being hidden in the outer gate. If that is true then there is nothing junior brother Zu, brother Han and I can do. We can only rely on grade 6 disciples to have some hope…”
Ling Lie nodded his head. He knew that the dragon gate had martial saint restrictions. It was indiscernible and ascended and day wandering experts could only enter from the inner gate and not the outer gate.
He sighed and looked at the thousands below. His eyes finally focused as he made a decision, “If it is a normal spiritual treasure, our Lingyun Sect won’t care. But if it is that thing, it is helpful for your black flood dragon. We have to care, let’s follow what you said!”
Long Ruo didn’t feel happy and was about to agree before he heard a dragon roar from the mountain peak, shaking the heavens.
