Chapter 430 - A Little Gamble Helps Bring People Closer

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

“These fellows aren’t good at helping, but they are really good and messing things up!”

Xuan Yunlan sighed, “It is my fault. I didn’t pay attention to the actions of my juniors and seniors. It isn’t much of an issue—we just need to chase them back in time. Luoshi and Xie An are not pushovers and won’t fall for that Yuan Jiuchen’s schemes…”

Zong Shou’s brows frowned as he heard that. Within a single day, he felt like he was several years older.

These people were smart which was why it was tough handling the situation. If Luoshi and the others wanted to hide their tracks and avoid them, then it would be extremely difficult for Xuan Shu and them to find them.

Speaking of which he had to blame himself. After all, this wasn’t Gantian Mountain. Within the Gantian army, no matter how his subjects didn’t understand, how much rejection they held in their hearts, they wouldn’t go against his orders.

All his plans had nothing to do with these people from start to finish. He also didn’t need their help. He just treated them as useless chess pieces. They just needed to watch on by the side which was why he was lazy to explain to these people.

His brows tightly locked. At the corner of his eyes, he saw a teen girl who was resting on the stone wall. She was the person who tried to charm him using the heart charming grass and beautiful demon technique-Yongqin.

Zong Shou felt weird. He walked over and pointed lightly at the center of her brows. A water elemental spiritual energy injected in, causing her eyes to twitch.

A moment later Yongqin opened her eyes. When she saw Zong Shou, she was frightened. Her body shrunk backward and for some reason, her face also flushed red in embarrassment.

Zong Shou’s heart was like a clear mirror. It was clear why the girl would react in such a way.

His face was proper, and he acted as if he didn’t know, “You were struck unconscious to stop them? Why didn’t you follow them along? Oh, you followed sect rules, acting in the nick of time, not bad…”

Based on what he knew, this brat was one of the people who were the most annoyed with him. She tried to make connections with many in her sect, swearing to overthrow that useless and incompetent first seat.

Yongqin was stunned, following which her eyes shooting out flames as she said, “No! I am the first who said I wanted to leave this damn place to save people…”

Following which she calmed down, “It must be because junior niece Xuanye felt it was so dangerous. Which was why they would hit me unconscious!”

Zong Shou nodded his head as he heard that, thinking that this person was the main culprit. Following which he turned his gaze towards Chuxue.

The latter was at a loss, not knowing why Zong Shou was looking at her.

As for Xuan Shu and Xuan Yunlan at the side, they didn’t bother with what Yongqin was saying. They were worried, wondering how they could save the situation.

Zhao Yanran’s expression changed slightly and regained calm. For Zong Shou to still be in the mood to joke with this senior master, she must have a way to solve the situation.

She had followed Zong Shou for close to a year, and she knew that there was close to nothing in the world that was too difficult for this fellow.

However, her brows furrowed as an unwillingness rose up in her heart. She didn’t know why Zong Shou would still be so confident at such a stage. But when she calmed herself down and thought about it, she still had no idea.

On the side of Zong Shou, after confirming that this Yongqin had no idea to know about the tracks of Luoshi and the others, he stopped bothering about that silly girl. Turning around and saying flatly, “As they say, Good fortune follows upon disaster; Disaster lurks within good fortune. There are always 2 sides in this world. Luoshi and the others leaving might not be a bad thing. If planned well who knows we might be able to have a huge victory over Tailing Sect.”

Many people here rose as they looked towards Zong Shou in astonishment. With the current situation, it would be good if it didn’t turn for the worse, whilst Zong Shou was thinking about beating Tailing Sect.

Xuan Yunlan’s pupils constricted. Then, she regained calmness once more. When Zong Shou led the Gantian Mountain fleet down the cloud ocean to hunt, no one had high hopes. However, in the end, the Gantian mountain fleet got bountiful gains—using it as a chance to reclaim their lost land and swallow several provinces.

He seemed to be able to keep calm at any moment—like there was nothing too tough for him.

As expected from the ruler of a nation, the soul of the king of hundreds of races of the monster race.

“Within a day, I want all the maps of the area nearby to Lewu County!”

He was unaware of everyone’s gazes around him. Zong Shou clenched his fist and punched at his palm, for some reason he started to get excited. A pair of fox years couldn’t help but rise, his eyes flashed with passion and determination.

“…Oh right! Your common people path mysterious dragon warrior sword technique and sutra, you have to let me see it!”

Originally, he wanted to complete this mission cleanly and as quickly as possible. Then, he wanted to calmly cultivate to break through to the 7th grade and form his two extreme yin and yang dharma.

To be able to first have a battle and try that Tailing Sect’s Taiqing Chengfeng sword didn’t seem like a bad option.

The legacy sword technique—infinitely close to grade 9 and half a step to world shocking grade—was something he wanted to learn from long ago.

Only in the last life, he wasn’t fated to see it. The more he thought about it, the more tempted he was!

Since gentle methods couldn’t solve the problem, then why not take a face approach. That was his Tanqiu’s style!

Xuan Shu’s brows furrowed as he heard that. He didn’t understand why Zong Shou would be so confident.

However, for some reason, he felt relaxed. Maybe this first seat had a way.

※※※※

3 days later, roughly 20 miles east of Lewu County, on a small mountain peak.

230 cavalry were all lined up orderly within. The formation was sharp at the front and wide at the back like that of a cone shape.

The common people’s path had 150 cavalry. Whilst not all of the mysterious dragon warriors from the 3 sects and 6 schools left, around 80 of them remained.

230 of them stood quietly right there.

Around them, there were 20 grade 6 return to sun spirit masters who were casting spells to cover them.

Ruoshui was amongst them. A mysterious eagle floated above them, under the buffs of the many spirit masters a mysterious force caused this small space to nearly fold up.

Even if someone unknowingly entered the space and also somehow look upwards, they would be unable to sense the presence of the cavalry.

Zong Shou stood right at the front on a horse, closing his eyes to rest up his focus. He injected thin streams of true qi into the silver scale wind stepping beast beneath him, whilst adjusting the state of the mount under him to help maintain it in the best condition. He also used spells to strengthen his connection with this temporary mount.

His mount was changed to the common people mysterious dragon warrior styled silver scale wind stepping beast, covered in black and red armor. On his body, he also wore a mysterious dragon armor which was red and black in color, a blood-red cape and also carrying a large red-colored sword.

“Those few people have already left…”

Zong Shou had opened his eyes and looked expressionlessly at a small hill to the side. There were no traces of the aura on that side.

It should be the scouts from Yuan Jiuchen. A cavalry whose strength was at grade 5. A total of 20 of them searched about in the wilderness nearby Lewu County.

3 days ago, the mysterious dragon warriors and he had already started hiding here. Most of the time, they didn’t even dare move a single step. The hardship they felt was something someone on the outside wouldn’t know.

However, there were a few times where they were so close to being noticed.

After confirming that there were no more scouts here, all the spirit masters relaxed. Ruoshui let the mysterious eagle descend and hugged it lovingly in her arms. Then she fed it several pills causing the shriveled up black eagle to regain some energy.

“This is already the 10th wave! As expected from the famous general in the west Yuan Jiuchen, he is really careful. However, why is he willing to be a lackey for Tailing Sect…”

When he spoke, Xuan Shu’s expression was complicated. Looking towards the direction of Lewu, apart from a bone-deep hatred, he was also impressed.

Zong Shou had fended off the objections and led them to arrive here 3 days earlier. The position he chose was great. Unexpectedly he didn’t choose those hidden and secluded areas and just nice the mountain wind was intense which was why the spirit master’s spiritual sense was unable to reach this area.

The only thing they were afraid of was that the moment they got close they would be noticed by these scouts.

In terms of admiration, the fellow beside him was also a monster. 10 times better than that Yuan Jiuchen…

Before he was finished, someone burst out laughing from the back.

“With how smart Xuanye junior niece is she would be able to easily save those ten over disciples. Why would you need to save her?”

Her voice was like a silver bell, coming out from a person behind Zong Shou and Xuan Shu who was wrapped up like that of a dumpling.

It was Yongqin who was tied to a horse. Her body was covered in rope, only revealing a small face. Whilst she said that she had a cold laugh on her face.

“What is the skill of hiding here like a dummy? Is it very interesting?”

Zong Shou was speechless, probably even people like Xuanye and Luoshi wouldn’t dare to say such words.

He realized that this little girl was too naive, too innocent. However, she wasn’t as cute as his Chuxue.

He didn’t know what to do with this girl and just let her follow along in case she spoilt their matter. If he placed her in that hiding spot from before, he was worried that this girl would run out and create some waves.

Hence he just tied her up and brought her along with him as a sort of punishment.

However, during these 3 days, Yongqin would often coldly mock him. Luckily they were still within the large group which was why Zong Shou suppressed his desire to seal her voice box and let her become mute.

He originally didn’t want to bother about her but sometimes he did feel bored. Which was why he laughed evilly.

“Do you want to make a bet?”

“What do you want to bet?”

Yongqin didn’t hesitate, she couldn’t seem too weak. However, she seemed to have recalled something. 2 red flowers appeared on her face before she added in one sentence, “No bad intentions!”

Zong Shou rolled his eyes, thinking that he wasn’t interested in her little washboard of a body, however, he seemed a little less excited.

“If you lose, then after we return to common people palace you need to shout in front of all the disciples that you are a little pig. Are you willing?”

Yongqin hesitated for a moment before she scoffed coldly, “I’ll shout it, but what if you lose?”

Zong Shou acted like he didn’t hear her say that, raising his head and looking into the sky. Looking at the color it was noon, it must be really busy within Lewu county.

Xuan Shu, however, was really worried, this first seat disciple beside him had only just seen his mysterious dragon warrior heart sutra and sword technique for 3 days. Could it work?
