This kid pretty much let hate and anger cover his eyes and cloud his decision making!
The Taoist Ancestor had 70% confidence in the Common People’s Path matter, but there were still some uncertainties.
Once their plot failed, this person would have a genuine reason to return to the Cloud World.
At this moment, who else in the Cloud World could stop him? To deal with Zong Shou they would definitely have to pay a huge price.
“Bastard! Who gave you the right to speak here?”
He respected Chengxing but there was no need for him to show the same amount of respect to Xiao Xiangzi.
The former’s father was about to become an End Realm Saint Venerable and he was most probably going to pass his tribulation.
He might become the ninth End Realm since Dragon Shadow. His position in the Taoist Faction was really respected.
Although Xiao Xiangzi was able to merge Spirit with Martial Arts, his cultivation in recent years was also not bad.
However, due to his Master dying a few years early, in his eyes, he was like a piece of grass, able to be crushed as and when he wanted.
Xiao Xiangzi’s face turned ashen white, embarrassment and rage appeared in his eyes. But he tried to calm himself down and he kept silent.
Chengxing scoffed coldly and didn’t bother, saying to Qingming by his side, “Palace Head’s status is really important and can’t take risks. Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty and Xuanling Guild were once enemies of our Taoist Faction. Moreover, they are afraid of Dragon Shadow and even if they conflict with Zong Shou, they won’t easily take their lives. To work with them is like a sheep with a tiger’s skin…”
After saying this, he quietly waited, sneaking glances at Qingming’s expression.
The decision would still depend on this junior female.
This woman was in charge of Daoling Vast Habitat and was the Daoling Palace Head. From a status standpoint, she was only lower than the Sect Leader.
If it was anyone else, even Wu Xu, he wouldn’t have to do that.
However, Qingming’s father was a future End Realm, so he had to respect her.
Qingming was still hesitating and found it hard to make a decision.
She and Zong Shou were enemies, it was so bad that they couldn’t share the same world. Even using the Illusionary Heart Mirror to convince the Shadow Demons and plan so much to start this whole ambush.
She even rushed over from all her business to personally watch Zong Shou die.
She really didn’t expect that in the end those Formless God Demons would be the ones who were wiped out.
She really couldn’t accept it, that her enemy would still live freely in this world.
Xiao Xiangzi’s words really tempted her.
However, she also knew the risk that she would face.
If Common People’s Path wasn’t wiped out and Zong Shou returned back to the Cloud World…
Probably no one in the Cloud World would be willing to see this happen.
She was unable to make a decision and she slowly entered a daze. However, she heard laughter from beside her.
“Interesting! Interesting! I have headed to numerous worlds and fortunately found this place. However, I heard the shocking news that someone is trying to scheme against my friend. What do you think I should do?”
The voice was quite familiar. Qingming came back to her senses and looked over in shock, only to see a person standing in the air. He was around 20, dressed in a purple robe. He had an arrogant and untamed expression, he smiled as he looked over.
“Yuan Wushang…”
Qingming was at a loss, why was this person here?
Why didn’t Chengxing sense anything when this person headed over?
He seemed to have heard what they said.
With the treasure beneath their feet blocking off Spiritual Sense and sound waves, how did this person do that?
Yuan Wushang had once lost to Zong Shou’s sword. Then, for some reason they ended up close to one another.
If he told him what happened today to Zong Shou, then…
The consequences would be detrimental!
Qingming’s eyes were as sharp as knives, filled with killing intent.
“Senior Master Chengxing, kill him! This person cannot be left alive!”
Chengxing didn’t hesitate at all when he heard this. He waved his horsetail whisk and struck over.
3,000 Silver Threads, each as sharp as a sword, danced like snakes as they swept over toward Wushang.
The moment they were about to land, there was suddenly a Spiritual Energy explosion that stopped the 3,000 threads.
Yuan Wushang continued to smile, “You are trying to kill me to shut me up? To say that women are vicious is really true. Fortunately, fortunately…”
In the sky full of chaotic Spiritual Energy, Yuan Wushang threw out an item. At the start, it was just the size of a rice grain but then it swiftly swelled up. In just a moment, it transformed into the shape of a human.
It was actually a jade person, punching out in the air, completely unafraid of those 3,000 flying silk threads.
With a loud “Hong”, it smashed the horsetail whisk, causing those Silver Threads to explode out. It then furiously smashed over with the aura of a crazy tiger.
“Mohist Family Jade Puppet!”
Chengxing’s pupils constricted as he didn’t underestimate him at all and even went all out.
The scattered Silver Threads wrapped over relentlessly.
Numerous maple leaves flew out from Chengxing’s sleeves. They stacked together to form a giant maple leaf that sliced down.
The puppet didn’t block at all, allowing the blade light to slash its head, not bothered at all.
It still used a fist to punch out ferociously. There was another explosion noise as the lotus leaf under him shook for just a moment.
Chengxing frowned once more, his expression turning serious.
This Jade Puppet not only had limitless strength but it had close to 6,000 Sumeru Mountains of strength. It was also made of Celestial Treasures which were really firm and tough.
The Maple Leaf Knife slashed the jade head, only leaving a white mark.
When facing it, he found it really difficult to handle but not to the point that he couldn’t beat it, just that he would have to spend some effort to do so.
In the next moment, a person suddenly stood within the explosive energy that was capable of destroying Celestial Grade cultivators, moving swiftly over.
Chengxing was stunned once more. What was Yuan Wushang planning to do?
In just a moment, Chengxing reacted and then his body was covered in a cold sweat.
This person was staring at Qingming and Xiao Xiangzi!
Rage exploded in his heart as Chengxing subconsciously threw a flag toward Qingming to cover and protect her body.
As for Xiao Xiangzi, Chengxing was being suppressed by the Jade Puppet, unable to be distracted and help him.
A moment later, Chengxing stood in the air. He looked up right as the jade white light flew into the distance. His expression was really ugly.
In the blink of an eye, he was out of his field of sight.
He was caught off guard and was unable to protect Xiao Xiangzi. With the Jade Puppet carrying him, Yuan Wushang’s movement speed even exceeded his.
He could only look on as the person fled.
Qingming’s face was so dark and sunken that water was about to drip out of it. After a long while, he took a deep breath.
“Senior Master, no matter what, we cannot let that person and Zong Shou meet. Especially Xiao Xiangzi…”
Chengxing nodded with a serious expression on his face. This was something he understood.
However, with the Jade Puppet there, if Yuan Wushang wanted to escape, it would be tough for him to do anything alone.
To capture this person, he needed to gather the surrounding people from the sect.
If all else failed, he had to at least end Xiao Xiangzi’s life…
※※※※
When Zong Shou arrived at the palace that Chahou Hu and the Shura Race lived in, he noticed that this entire place was empty. There was no one within the large Celestial Manor.
Zong Shou stepped in and no one stopped him at all. Only when he entered the largest hall did he sense something.
He raised his eyes and looked up to see Chahou Hu smiling as he stood at the top of the hall.
Zong Shou had many questions in his heart but he was forcefully pressing them down as he walked in.
“Just now, I found out that Seven Saint Alliance didn’t participate in the battle of Yuanlian World all thanks to the Shura Race. I have to thank Brother Cha for this!”
If the Seven Saint Alliance did join in and the five sides worked together, Feng Taiji and the others might not have been able to last till now.
Even the remaining four had more or less been restricted by the Shura Race.
At this moment, he was more and more sure that this person’s identity wasn’t simple and he wasn’t just a normal General of the Shura Race.
“Brother Zong, why are you saying this? I promised you, so of course, I will do whatever I can. This is my responsibility, so what are you thanking me for?”
Chahou Hu shook his head and walked down the steps.
“Brother Zong is the one that didn’t disappoint me. The battle in the World River outside the world was so amazing. It made me feel that everything I did was worth it.”
When he said this, he didn’t wait for Zong Shou to speak before he tossed a jade letter over, saying with deep meaning, “Inside are the various things that happened recently in Yuanlian World, you can take a look.”
Zong Shou casually took it over and sent his Spiritual Sense into it.
Roughly three breaths later, he cast aside his thoughts and heavy emotions.
There was news about Shiyue within the jade letter.
It made him feel shocked and even more nervous.
That person had actually occupied a full 23 worlds in just 4 years. One of them was even a medium-sized world…
His heart shook and he was unable to recover for a while.
Zong Shou was distracted for a full minute before he came back to his senses and he started to calm down his Energy Meridians.
A tough to describe suppressive feeling rose up in his head. He felt that the future was really tough to predict.
He should have occupied Yuanlian World and conquered dozens of small-sized worlds before returning to the Cloud World.
When he fully controlled the Cloud World, then he would become totally unstoppable.
He had acted on Yuanlian World and occupied this place first. Logically speaking, he stole his luck but who knew that Shiyue would expand even quicker.
“There is someone behind him helping him!”
Chahou Hu laughed, “However, the main reason is still Brother Zong.”
Zong Shou looked over in shock only to hear Chahou Hu say, “If it wasn’t for Brother Zong restricting and drawing over Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty and Xuanling Guild such that his pressure was reduced, he wouldn’t have been able to conquer so many areas.”
Only then did Zong Shou understand, his mouth became filled with a bitter taste.
What was this? He wanted to stop that person’s momentum and in the end he helped him instead.
Then, he shook his head. He wasn’t a person to blame circumstance, so he wouldn’t sigh and give up when he faced a tough situation.
It was good if he could stop that person, but it was okay even if he couldn’t.
Yuanlian World had a great position and the surrounding dozen worlds were not only all human planets but they were filled with resources too.
It was a great place to raise troops and increase strength. Once he succeeded in occupying them, he wouldn’t be in a worse situation than Shiyue.
