Divine Brilliance

Chapter 604: About To Begin

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Spirit Realm cultivation... even if he suppressed his Realm, in the Cloud World he didn’t have an opponent. Along with that sneak assassination technique, anyone whom he personally assassinated... none of them managed to survive.

It was really tough to imagine that someone was able to destroy the formed body of this alien minister.

However, in the next moment, the man in the black shirt frowned and spoke, “When my formed body attacked, it was when Shui Lingbo, Yuan Wushang, Jueyu, Ruotao, Leidong and Li Wuhui were ganging up on him...”

With each name he mentioned, the teen prince’s brows would shake. This man in the black shirt was talking about all the top young experts of Donglin Cloud Continent!

Especially Taiyuan Fairy, famous for decades in the Cloud World. If it wasn’t for Taiyuan Sect needing her to take charge, she would have risen up to the Spirit Realm long ago.

Zong Shou could be able to fight against these six people with his own strength and also had extra strength to deal with the assassination, how was that possible?

If it wasn’t for him seeing that exceptionally serious expression of the man in the black shirt and his deep injuries, he would’ve thought that he was making a joke.

“Shui Lingbo, Yuan Wushang? Then why wasn’t that Xiao Xiangzi and Wuxuan there? Was Feng Taiji within?”

The main in the black shirt frowned. After all, they were thousands of miles away and it was also such an environment like the Yin Dragon Canyon. His mental sense couldn’t connect to such a place so far away.

The formed body was already exploding out its essence energy and soul power, just to barely be able to sense and send out this bit of information.

However, in his memory, there were no signs of Wuxuan and Xiao Xiangzi.

When the teen young master saw that, he heaved a sigh of relief, evidently relaxing.

Out of the six of them, apart from Shui Lingbo who would make him slightly worry, the other few weren’t strong enough in his eyes. No matter how strong this Zong Shou was, he should only be on the level of Wuxuan and Xiao Xiangzi.

Only this Gantian Mountain was really someone that he couldn’t afford to let live...

“Then do you remember who destroyed that formed body?”

The man in the black shirt still shook his head, he only remembered that it was an extremely quick knife light, a sword intent that destroyed everything. However, as for the specifics and how his soul was destroyed, he had no idea.

“Then that’s right! There should be an expert who acted. Since Zong Shou has Dragon Shadow as a master, who knows if there might be other Spirit Realm cultivators there. That Dragon Shadow Martial Saint, although he has always come and gone alone, he had once taught a few juniors. Many people are grateful for his teachings...”

The teen young master laughed, revealing his understanding. Then he shook his head, eyes filled with a scolding intent, “I told you before that you should be really careful. That Zong Shou’s identity is different and we can’t attack recklessly, but you didn’t believe! It is just a formed body, after this, I will naturally be able to help you craft one more. However, don’t let such a thing happen again. There are many experts in the Cloud World and it isn’t a place where you can do anything you want...”

Hearing these words, the man in the black shirt frowned. Thinking of this, it did make sense, but why did he feel that something wasn’t right? However, since the Yang Family promised to make up for his losses, he relaxed a bit.

However, when he was thinking back, dealing with his chaotic memories, the teen young master smiled, “Kongxu is back!”

The moment his words were spoken, the door was pushed open. A 30-year-old scholar walked in. He first looked weirdly at the wall covered in blood and then at the man in the black shirt.

Following this, he bowed toward the teen young master, “Kongxu greets young master!”

The customs he followed were that of subject and master. Only the Emperor Capital Yang Family young master could cause him to act like this.

“There’s no need for the courtesy!”

Yangming slightly nodded his head, reaching out his hands to help him up. He smiled as he asked, “Did you meet your sister?”

“Yes!”

Kongxu bowed once more and he sighed, “I have already met Kong Yao! In the past, I hated her to the bone, but now looking at her, she is a little pitiful. If it was just the Monster King liking her then it would be okay, who knew she would bump into such a change...”

Yangming listened on with no expression as he didn’t bother himself much with matters regarding an ex-title governor commander.

The matters between brother and sister were their Family matters and had nothing to do with him.

Patiently hearing Kongxu speak, his eyes shone slightly, “Then what are your opinions on this Gantian Mountain?”

“It is well guarded and the soldiers are all elites... Really strict laws and discipline... Even our Great Shang doesn’t have so many elite troops...”

However, he knew that the Yang Family young master wasn’t asking about that. He thought about it for a moment before he made up his mind, “Although it is strong, the Xue Family is like the ant in a dam. Its strength is of no use. I observed the nobles in the city, they should have noticed something and have all hid to defend themselves, keeping things secret. Gantian Mountain is destined to have a change of master. Only the Xue Family plans on capturing Zong Shou alive, but this person can’t be kept!”

Yangming gave out an “Oh”, his brows rising up. Kongxu explained seriously, “Gantian Mountain’s military foundations aren’t weak. If this Xue Family obtains this Blood Cloud Cavalry, then it is like tiger obtaining wings, it would be even tougher to restrict them in the future! It wouldn’t be a good thing for our Great Shang...”

Yangming laughed out loud when he heard this, totally impressed. It wasn’t a good thing to Great Shang? What Kongxu was really speaking about was their Yang Family right?

“Do you know that Liao King has the same intentions?”

Seeing Kongxu look over in shock, Yangming apologetically nodded toward him, “Unfortunate for your sister, just marrying in and she needs to become a widow!”

Kongxu immediately bowed, understanding that Yangming meant that they definitely had to kill Zong Shou.

He didn’t have much of a special feeling in his heart, only admiring the viciousness and decisiveness of Yangming.

Only such a person could be the owner of a world, the ruler of a nation.

As for Kong Yao, his younger sister was really someone who was surrounded by disaster.

Just as the two of them were discussing, in the sky above Gantian Mountain, two pairs of cold eyes were looking over toward them.

One pair of eyes belonged to Xue Mofei. His eyes were cold and filled with darkness, “Those people sent by Liao King definitely won’t be the same as us. No matter what they show on the surface, in the dark, we have to defend against them a little.”

He really wanted to know what those few people were talking about and doing. However, that young master of the Yang Family was really careful.

“There is no need to bother! They probably just don’t want us to obtain all the foundations of Gantian Mountain. I have my methods to handle them...”

That fox race teen whom Xue Mofei called her highness said as she looked into the distance in anticipation.

“As for that person, he has already returned!”

Xue Mofei was jolted to his senses, the person who she mentioned could only be Zong Shou.

Following this, his body started to tremble uncontrollably.

It was finally beginning! From today on, it would be when the Eight Tail Xue Family finally returned back to the Cloud World!

In that instant, in an inn below, a sightly, dispirited-looking, middle-aged man who was maniacally drinking wine, suddenly stopped and broke out into laughter.

Had his nephew already returned? How quick, he really didn’t give them a chance.

However, this matter already had nothing to do with him.

※※※※

When Zong Shou walked out of the Yin Dragon Canyon, most of the sect cultivators had already left.

Coincidentally when he flew out, he heard an ear-shattering roar.

Following this, in a short four hours all the remaining cultivators all frantically fled out.

Who knew whether these people were really not prepared to go up against Gantian Mountain or someone specially instructed. Be it Vast Habitat or shrine cultivators, they all didn’t resist and handed over 80% of the things they obtained.

Even if they had something they needed, they would only leave after handing over enough mind stones.

As for the number of spiritual items obtained, just Grade Nine mind stones alone, there were 13 thousand of them.

It caused the pill fountain sect and Kongqi Sect people to smile brightly. Such huge rewards were comparable to a few hundred years of mind stone production.

Zong Shou was worrying that most of the things here had to enter the Gantian Mountain treasury.

He could only get 10%, although it was better than nothing. These mind stones along with what he got in the Yin Dragon Canyon could at least allow the Book of Eon to speed up four years of time, enough to let him comprehend the first two pages, allowing his sword technique attainments to be more exquisite.

At this moment, many cultivators were still in the canyon and hadn’t come out. Zong Shou didn’t care, only treating them as if they had died. Yin Dragon had already woken up and even if one didn’t die and escape, their situation wouldn’t be great.

Yin Dragon canyon didn’t have any other experts. With the strength of Pill Fountain Sect and Kongqi Sect, it was enough to handle. There was already no need for an army to surround outside.

Along with his order being given, the sixty thousand soldiers who rushed over from Gantian Mountain and twenty thousand cavalries started to prepare to leave.

Zong Shou wanted to tell Tianqi and Mingdan some things, only to hear Tianqi, his eyes filled with worry, “Something is off at Gantian Mountain City. Your highness please be careful!”

Old Man Mingdan closed his eyes slightly, his words were simple, “It is the Eight Tail Xue Family! Your highness has helped our Pill Fountain Sect greatly, if you need help you can just ask...”

“There is no need for that!”

Zong Shou laughed when he heard that. Although the Xue Family kept their actions secretive, it seemed like they couldn’t be hidden from people who were determined to find out.

However, what made him truly satisfied was that these two people used the chance to express their stand. Their words meant that they were still on the same side as Gantian Mountain.

“However, in the eyes of you two, for me to actually have a chance to win, it really surprises me...”

Eight tail blood, illusionary heart mirror, they also seemed to have controlled the entire Gantian Mountain in their hands.

No matter how one looked, he would definitely lose. The best outcome would be if he escaped and his entire country would be destroyed.

Tianqi listened on, his chest filled with bitterness. Since news spread over from Gantian Mountain, he really didn’t think that Zong Shou had much chance of winning.

The reason he did so, was firstly their sect and Lingyun Sect were enemies and they had no way out. Secondly, was because he had faith in Zong Shou for some reason.

He subconsciously felt that this Monster King who had climbed out from thorns definitely wouldn’t collapse so easily!
