Chapter 705 - Suddenly Creating Problems



Chapter 705: Suddenly Creating Problems

The fog was spreading within the darkness.

Zong Shou stepped in the air and a Spiritual Sword charged into the distance.

This place was beneath the Cloud Ocean, the so-called Abyss.

Starting at the Demon Corpse Mountain, he had chased Gong Xinran for several days until he found this spot.

The Spiritual Sword was driven by his second soul, the Illusionary Spirit Sword Forging Technique was something he hadn’t placed down in ten years.

His own sword embryo was great and he was the Ruler of a country with no lack of resources.

Nurturing it for several years, it had already firmed up into an Illusionary stage.

After merging with the Spiritual Sword, it directly rose this Grade-9 Spiritual Sword to a Grade-4 Magical Weapon!

During these few days, he relied on this Spiritual Weapon as well as the Nameless Sword in his hand to force the Netherworld Princess to the brink.

At this moment, she had temporarily escaped and ditched him far away. However, as long as he used those two nails to sense slightly, he would be able to know where she was.

At this moment, he waved his sleeves and kept the sword.

The One Origin Soul Sword also returned into his Soul Ocean.

Following this, he looked coldly in the direction Gong Xinran had escaped.

His expression was complicated; like he felt pity that his efforts today didn’t pay off while also relaxed that he didn’t personally kill her.

Chasing her for several days, he could roughly deduce her situation.

Their distance was shorter day after day as she was getting weaker and weaker.

In the past, she could occasionally counter-attack, but now she could only try her best to escape.

Actually, in just a few more encounters, he would be able to kill her.

Even if she had that Dark Death Indestructible Body, she wasn’t truly indestructible.

In front of the Death Gate, he wasn’t able to kill her because the Netherworld Emperor interfered.

This time it was because she shouldn’t be killed.

His gaze fluctuated, suddenly sharp but suddenly gentle. In the end, he scoffed coldly as he looked at the talisman in his hand.

It came from Gantian Mountain. Tianqi and two Heaven Realm Spirit Masters personally sensed his location and sent this talisman to him.

It was specially crafted by Fuling Sect and had some of Zong Shou’s intent left within. This was why hundreds of thousands of miles away they could still find him.

He wanted a method for Gantian Mountain to reach him in an emergency. At this moment, the news within was really shocking!

...October 14th, a Spirit Master appeared in Rainbow City, used lightning spells to kill 43,000 people and then escaped.

On the same day, Sword Energy struck Taoyun City, city walls broke, people within 10,000 feet were swept, resulting in 200,000 casualties.

Around that time, south of Xuanya City, there was a beast wave, amongst which there were hundreds of Grade-9 Beasts. At noon, all cities within 100 miles of Xuanya City were wiped out. The number of casualties was unknown...

In the past, the Yue Family occupied Taoyun city. After the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect battle, Gantian Mountain took it down and it became one of their directly-run cities.

As for Xuanya City, it was a small city to the south of Donglin. Not far south of it was a giant forest.

The only thing was that the beasts within were always really gentle. In 10,000 years there had never been any Beast Waves.

These three were not the only ones attacked in Donglin. There were hundreds. Either Sword Energy, or spells or Beast Waves, many methods.

However, in terms of losses, these three cities had the most.

Gantian Mountain had tabulated the losses and there were around 300,000.

The end of the talisman mentioned how Gantian Mountain was going to deal with it.

Qiuwei had mobilized Kong Yao and Zong Yuan along with 3,000 Blood Cloud Cavalry back to Gantian Mountain.

He sent Ren Tianxing to Huizhou to maintain the situation.

This talisman took a day to reach him in the poison fog of the abyss.

During the night of the last day, Kong Yao set up a trap and killed two Spirit Realm Cultivators of the Taoist Faction outside of Xuan Mountain City.

However, one Spirit Realm Expert of Fuling Sect suffered heavy casualties and could only return to the Spiritual House to rest.

With such changes, naturally the slaying of the Netherworld Princess had to be delayed, even if this was when she was at her weakest.

Zong Shou squinted his eyes and retracted his gaze, but then he smiled instead of being furious.

His heart was extremely calm. No rage and no sadness, only the Sword Intent around him became sharp, like a blade that had just been sharpened and just drawn from its sheath.

He had predicted that the Taoist Faction would act and they would be unscrupulous.

He defended against many things, but who knew they would strike without any worries and fear at all...

Zong Shou looked into the distance at two lights that were descending. The petite one was Zhao Yanran.

He was unsurprised, only this person who had her Spiritual Seed in him and was connected by blood and mind to him could find him.

“I finally found you!”

Looking at him, she was really delighted. She rushed over and saw the talisman in his hand.

“Ruler already knows about the matter of Donglin Cloud Continent?”

Zong Shou nodded slightly and then asked, “What happened yesterday in Donglin?”

The talisman was sent the day before and only described things sixteen days ago.

“It is still okay!”

As she said this, her expression became ugly, “Kongqi Sect and Pill Fountain Sect each lost a Spirit Realm. However, Daoling Vast Habitat lost more. 4 hours ago Zong Yuan led 5,000 blood cavalry to kill 5 Spirit Realm, 12 Grade-9, only losing 200. He shocked the world. South of Huizhou, Ren Tianxing killed 2 Spirit Realms. Your Concubine Yao is truly a rare Commander talent, predicting their plan and setting traps. Daoling Vast Habitat suffered huge losses these 2 days. Only...”

“They have tens of millions of Cultivators and huge numbers of Spirit Realm Experts. Although she is strong, she is barely holding on.”

Zong Shou was expressionless, however, his fists were clenched tight and his fingernails were digging into his flesh.

“And also?”

“Your Prime Minister Renbo was assassinated yesterday by numerous Spirit Realm Cultivators on the street!”

Seeing his eyes turn sharp she quickly added, “Kong Yao predicted it and substituted him. However, they acted on both sides. Although he survived, he suffered heavy injuries...”

Zong Shou’s heart twitched. His lips curled as he looked at the dark sky.

Zong Shou and the Taoism Faction were now sworn enemies, peace was never going to be an option. Since they attacked his people, although it seemed excessive, he had expected it.

However, Renbo returned his decree to wipe them out.

With just one sentence he saved the lives of millions of them.

This time even he couldn’t be left out...

Although he was annoying and didn’t give him respect, he was receiving less and less money. However, when he heard the news, he felt pained and a violent intent rose up in his chest.

Temporarily, he couldn’t vent it and could only suppress it.

“Your Imperial Astronomer said that he was badly injured and even if he recovers, he only has 50 years left. The Taoists did that to affect your country’s luck! Apart from that, Hu Qianqiu and Chai Yuan were also on the receiving end. Luckily, they were strong and gathered the strength of an army to avoid it. However, there are 12 generals that have died...”

Zhao Yanran said, she also glanced at Jingyin in worry.

The words she said to Zong Shou couldn’t be told to others. However, a few days ago when they asked the Buddhist Faction to act, they personally agreed. However, they wanted Jingyin to follow by her side and not leave even for a moment.

Thinking about it, she continued, “Common People’s Path has gone all out and lost two Spirit Realm Experts these past 2 days. Unless they went totally against the Taoists, this is the best outcome...”

Zong Shou’s brow rose up and knew Zhao Yanran’s hidden meaning.

Based on what the talisman said, the Three Sects and Six Schools went all out, even sending out 3,000 Common People’s Mysterious Dragon Warriors.

It was only because of them that they didn’t suffer millions of losses.

However, if they wanted more, they would be in an all-out war, total enemies with Daoling Vast Habitat.

His identity as a Common People’s Path direct disciple also can’t be hidden anymore.

Actually, at this time, it was not that he was not willing to expose his identity. Gantian Mountain had grown, they had 7,000 blood cavalry and with this shield the people could do whatever they wanted.

It was because he didn’t want to.

He didn’t want the Gantian Country to have too many shadows of Common People’s Path. Even as a direct disciple, he didn’t want those extremist views to spread in Donglin.

The seniors within the Vast Habitat seemed to know his thoughts. They were really careful to not offend him.

However, at this moment, he needed to face it alone.

Standing in the air, he closed his eyes for a moment and then laughed. He walked toward the west of the Central Continent.

In one step, he crossed 1,000 feet.

Zhao Yanran hurried along. After just 100 miles, she couldn’t keep up.

She could only stop. When she realized where he was going, her eyes were filled with shock.

“You aren’t returning to Gantian?”

Even Jingyin was surprised. At this moment, they needed him back to suppress the situation.

With this unrivaled expert there, no matter how strong they were, they wouldn’t dare to be too arrogant.

Their voice spread dozens of miles, however, Zong Shou scoffed.

What could he do if he returned? Caring about left and right, having his hands tied up?

Seemingly feeling his thoughts, the Nameless Sword rang out, it was extremely sharp and its killing intent surged into the clouds.

Today he was going to return the favour, blood for blood!
