Right as Zong Shou left and Gu Mie and the others fled away, many people rushed over to the foot of this Yugang Mountain.
Numerous spirit lights shot up and scattered into all directions. Hundreds of message talismans appeared on the tables of the heads of many aristocratic families and sects.
“Blood Sword Demon Ruler? Wasn’t it Monster Sword? Why did his title change?”
Yinyu’s eyes shone as he placed down the message talisman in his hands.
“Using forty Spirit Realm experts to force Wu Xu to appear and killed him with one strike. Such a thing actually happened?”
His tone was filled with surprise. He originally thought that Zong Shou would retreat to Gantian Mountain yesterday to defend.
“It should be true!”
The person who spoke was Internal Affairs Supervisor Gao Ruo, “Xuanwen Sect used a Time Returning Talisman left from the Cloud Desolate Era to turn back time. Many people there managed to see what had happened. Zong Shou’s long sword was like blood, his Sword Intent was invincible; he was close to that of a demon. His aura was like he came from hell, like the Lord of ten thousand monsters. That sword had the strength to shake mountains and rivers. Even Wu Xu with his abilities couldn’t block it for even a moment!”
Yinyu clenched his fists and naturally knew what that item was.
To be able to look back to scenes that occurred within the past three days. It was extremely precious and even the Great Shang Emperor Family only kept ten of them.
Since they used this item then it was most probably true. They just needed news from Daoling Vast Habitat to verify it.
Speaking of which that place had been locked down for a day and no news could spread out.
With both news correlating, Yinyu was mostly convinced.
His doubts had disappeared and his heart was only filled with shock. A thread of worry mixed together within.
“If our Great Shang sends our elites and works with the Taoist Faction, will we be able to kill him?”
Gao Ruo was silent and knew that Yinyu wasn’t asking him the question.
Zhongxuan thought about it and shook his head, “No! Since Your Majesty is prepared to act against those aristocratic families, you can’t be distracted. This person’s strength exceeds the limit of normal people. If he wants to fight he will, if he doesn’t he would run, who could stop him? Kill him? That’s just a joke unless you personally attack…”
Yinyu frowned. Naturally he couldn’t leave the Imperial Capital. As for Zhongxuan, for him to use his God Realm strength to walk around here was already an exception. He also couldn’t participate in it.
Thinking about it for a long time, Yinyu sighed. His right hand waved and the message talisman turned into dust.
A curious expression flashed in his eyes. Was the prophecy from ten thousand years ago wrong?
Was this kid so skilled? Who could go up against him? Who could defeat him?
What about those few God Emperor seeds of rumors? They weren’t even good enough to carry his shoes!
“What a Blood Sword Monster Lord!”
Tailing Sect Leader Muyu also received a talisman that was hanging in the space in front of him.
Xuanwen Sect was a Taoist Sect and was one of their subordinate sects.
Which was why apart from the talisman, he had a crystal in his hand.
Closing his eyes and using spiritual sense to imprint the images and scenes within his soul.
“Wu Xu definitely couldn’t take that sword, he is surely dead! The soul can’t resist this Absolute Beginning Sword Intent. Even if he had another incarnation, he wouldn’t be able to live. If it was me, I would have died too!”
Saying with certainty, Muyu opened his eyes with a weird expression on his face.
“At this moment our Central Continent is really in a buzz…”
While he said that he passed the crystal over to Qiuyun.
The expressions of the people around all fluctuated.
At the start when Muyu urgently summoned them, they didn’t believe it. At this moment looking at Qiuyun’s expression become more and more serious, they knew that it was most probably true.
However, they still found it tough to accept it and that it was unbelievable…
“Which means that Daoling Vast Habitat Head Wu Xu really died under Zong Shou’s sword four hours ago?”
The one who spoke was a God Realm elder who sat to the right of Qiuyun and opposite Muyu.
Seeing Muyu nod his head, the Taoist subconsciously leaned backward.
Even if he hadn’t seen the scenes within the Image Bearing Stone, he could imagine how strong and domineering that sword was.
Thinking about it, a weird expression appeared in his eyes.
“Now our Taoist Faction sects are in fear, and the Vast Habitat Head spot is empty. Our Tailing Sect has to be prepared in advance.”
The eyes of the people around all lit up. Qiuyun also raised his head, looking to the right in deep thought.
“Muyu can you tell us what you, as the Sect Leader, is thinking?”
Muyu didn’t object, took out several message talismans and placed it in front of his body.
“A day ago, Xuanyun Temple, Lingming Palace, etc, sects weren’t happy with the orders from Daoling Vast Habitat for them to give up their mountains and have instead reached out to us for help…”
The few Taoists beside were startled and then delighted. If Tailing Sect wanted to interfere in this matter, these few sects were the best entry.
However in the next instance he said expressionlessly, “I originally wanted to help them since we are from the same faction. However today I changed my mind and I think we shouldn’t easily interfere. We should just look on quietly and wait for changes.”
The moment those words were said out, the Taoist opposite him immediately frowned. Qiuyun also gave out a laugh that was filled with deep meaning.
“Why is that? This is a rare chance for our Tailing Sect…”
Muyu scoffed coldly, “This might not be a chance! Let me ask all of you. Wu Xu died and Daoling Vast Habitat doesn’t have a leader. Is there a chance they join hands with us?”
The room was silent. Daoling Vast Habitat wasn’t a sect but a combination of many Taoist Faction sects.
Wu Xu’s line was made up of the solo cultivators of the Taoist Sect. He was able to be the Palace Head for so many generations, not only because of the sects compromises but also because his line became prosperous and strong.
Now that one sees a chance to replace him, anyone who can fight for the throne will cause problems.
At this time it was good if they don’t fight among themselves, much less fight an enemy.
Muyu was totally unsurprised, asking, “Even if we force Zong Shou back, can we swallow up that Daoling Vast Habitat Head position?”
The few Taoists were silent.
Tailing Sect was the head of all Taoist a Faction Sects and was feared by all. Only those small sects will be willing. The few who could compete against them wouldn’t sit still and do nothing.
Muyu laughed, “It is good if we can have more subordinate sects but we need to look at whether the price is worth it or not. Although our Tailing Sect is strong but if we need to go up against this Blood Sword Monster Lord, we don’t have much confidence…”
Whilst speaking another spiritual talisman fell from the sky.
Muyu took it. After sending in his spiritual sense he sucked in a deep cold breath.
He sighed and passed it to Qiuyun.
“8:45 am, Wangtian Sect is wipe out! Seven sects died along with them, a total of seventeen thousand disciples.
After which he appeared at Tianyuan Temple. This Monster Lord’s thirst for blood is really shocking!”
The people in the hall all exchanged glances with one another, their eyes filled with shock.
Yugang Mountain was wiped out. Wangtian Sect was wiped out. This Tianyuan Sect was probably about to be wiped out too.
There were also five to six sects gathered there, close to twenty thousand of them.
In just a short few hours, sixty thousand disciples died to Zong Shou’s sword…
The Taoist also saw that Image Bearing Stone, his face turning green and white. In the end he shook his head awkwardly.
“This is our Taoist Faction’s blood calamity! That Wu Xu predicted everything but one mistake offended such a demon. Although we have lost all our face this time, it is smart not to interfere. Just like what Junior Brother Muyu said, let’s not get ourselves burnt…”
Qiuyun was slightly dazed, that was what he was thinking about too. The matter was decided.
Although Tailing Sect was strong, they didn’t have enough strength to surround and kill Zong Shou. Even if he didn’t run or flee, they would have to sacrifice ten people. It wasn’t worth it.
There was something he found a waste. The Time Returning Talisman from Xuanwen Sect could only look back to when Zong Shou’s sword killed Wu Xu.
However they still didn’t know how strong it was and what abilities and techniques were within…
Wu Xu’s mistake was not knowing the skill of his enemy. With this precedence, they won’t make the same mistake.
※※※※
Pretty much at the same time in the east of Central Continent. A thirty over years old Taoist held a message talisman. His face was ashen white as he walked out of the main hall of the temple in fear.
When the few people nearby saw that, they followed him curiously.
They flew several miles away. They could see a large river flowing. Within there was an island at the heart of the lake. Spiritual energy surged, the scenery on it was extremely beautiful.
However at that moment there was one more person in the air. He was wearing a gold robe and holding a blood sword. A huge black wing spread open. Dozens of silver light circled around him.
He slashed down with a lightning-like sword light. In just a moment the spiritual restrictions that rose up were broken by sharp sword energy.
One gold and one silver, two specks of light circled around the sword body. Everywhere it passed the restrictions would be cleared out.
The entire formation was on the verge of collapse. The island at the heart of the lake was actually slowly sinking from the giant pressure.
“This Water Floating Temple can’t support it! Are my eyes playing tricks on me? There are tens of thousands of people and we can’t hurt him.”
“Oh? Those few Spirit Realm experts actually fled before the formation broke. How can they do that?”
“Who is that person? Why is he so domineering?”
“Is it a Celestial Realm cultivator? Those few World Protecting Venerables aren’t going to care?”
“He isn’t Celestial Realm…”
The middle aged Taoist who charged out of the temple first shook his head solemnly.
“He is the Blood Sword Monster Lord!”
“Monster Lord?” Everyone was confused. The name Monster Lord was something only those few legends of the Monster Race had.
However they had never heard of the title Blood Sword.
In the next moment someone else spoke, “Donglin Monster King Zong Shou! Just yesterday he had slain the Daoling Vast Habitat Head Wu Xu…”
Everyone was shocked. At this moment who in the world didn’t know about Zong Shou?
Only he would dare to pull at the mustache of the Taoist Faction.
The last sentence caused the area to turn deathly silent.
