The moment the blood was spilled out, Xu Zhengyuan felt his body relax. Half of the withering sword intent was still wreaking havoc in his body, but it was unable to trap the energy within his body.
His left arm, although still dry, wasn't as dead as before. Instead, it was brimming with life. His vital energy was flowing smoothly.
On the other hand, all the weeds within a thousand feet to the left withered in an instant. Then, they regained their vitality and grew again, turning green.
In a short dozen breaths, it went through several withering cycles. In the end, it totally withered, with no signs of life left.
Xu Zhengyuan only felt a wave of joy, like the giant rock on his back that had been pressing down on him for decades had finally been moved away. However, his body still couldn't move. He could already control the true qi in his body, but who knows what Zong Shou did to cause him to be unable to even raise his arm.
He could only stay on the spot and listen to what Zong Shou said.
"This senior who used the Meridian Yin Yang Technique shouldn't have any bad intentions. He was just prepared to punish you and teach you a lesson. This withering sword intent was supposed to dissipate after three years, leaving behind the Meridian Yin Yang Energy which could help you enter the Earth Meridian Seventh Chakra Realm. Maybe something happened to you while you were cultivating, or maybe you were too eager to get rid of the sword intent, causing it to be unable to dissipate and remain in your body. "
When Xu Zhengyuan heard that, he was startled once more. Although he didn't know whether or not those words were true, a bitter smile appeared on his face. He had been tortured by this so-called Withering Sword Intent for an entire few tens of years. So it turned out that he was reaping what he had sown?
However, the one who was more shocked was the half-monster teen in front of him.
At this moment, even a fool could see that Zong Shou didn't have any bad intentions towards him. He really wanted to help him get rid of the sword intent, and he had already done so!
Thinking back to what he had done before, Xu Zhengyuan's face couldn't help but turn red.
This person was so capable, no wonder Sir Lei Dong paid so much attention to him. He could only laugh at himself for making so many guesses. He even thought that Sir Lei Dong had randomly sent this teen to his Cloud Saint City!
He obviously wanted him to try his best to befriend him. With this young man's ability to easily control the sword intent of others, why would he need the protection of the Cloud Saint City?
Zong Shou was too lazy to care about his feelings. He casually explained a few words, pulled out the gold needles, and turned to leave. His tone was still indifferent as he said, "Actually, more than half of the Withering Glory Sword Intent still remains. Unfortunately, my cultivation is not enough to help the City Lord get rid of it completely. I can only help the City Lord recover your left arm. If the City Lord were to meet another Heaven-ranked expert in the future, he should be able to expel them smoothly. I have offended you just now, please don't take it to heart. Goodbye! "
Actually, if he spent a little more effort and a few more months, it really wouldn't be that difficult. However, he did not have a deep relationship with this person, so there was no need for him to waste his time on Xu Zhengyuan.
He didn't want any of those gifts and just boarded the carriage on his own. There was no need for him to urge him. Chu Xue giggled and waved her whip again, urging the eighteen Cloud Treading Foals to gallop forward. Smoke and dust filled the air, covering all the people behind him.
By the time the dust settled, the Cloud-Crossing Carriage was already more than three hundred meters away. Liancheng's body had recovered some strength, and he could move his four limbs. His face flushed red as he knelt down in front of Xu Zhengyuan.
"I am useless! I have eyes but no pupils, unable to see a true god. I actually made the master misjudge and nearly missed it … "
As he said that, Liancheng's forehead was covered in sweat. If it was just missing a chance to get to know a future top expert, then it was okay. However, when he thought about how if he missed out on this day, Xu Zhengyuan might not have any hope of recovering his injuries for the rest of his life, Liancheng felt his chest go numb, his heart palpitating.
Luckily, he was blessed, and the master decided to come out of the city to send the Gantian Mountain prince off. If not, the outcome would be unimaginable.
Xu Zhengyuan's energy cultivation was really high, and he had recovered long before Liancheng. He just looked at the carriage in the distance.
When he heard that, he gave out a sad smile, waving his hand, "This matter has nothing to do with you. This prince really hides deeply, even I can't see any signs. It would be weird if you could notice anything unusual!"
Liancheng's face flushed red, not willing to get up. Xu Zhengyuan didn't try to persuade him, continuing to look at the carriage.
"What is the relationship between that prince and the Lingyun Sect? He can actually use the Cloud Shocking God Destroying sword intent. Moreover, his Sword Intent could change. Who knew what level his Sword Dao had reached? I heard that to be able to control the sword intent of others, one has to reach the peak of sword intent. However, with his age, how is that possible? I don't understand. This prince obviously has no opponent below the martial ancestor level. Why does he have to hide his abilities so well? "
As he said that, he gave out a gloating smile, "Zong Weiran started from nothing and rose up in Donglin Cloud Continent. How can such a tiger father have such a useless son? Sigh, those people who have bad intentions for the Gantian Mountain monster king position are just like dogs and chickens in the eyes of this prince. He doesn't care about them at all! "
Liancheng also agreed. Thinking back to that short exchange just now, he still felt terrified. If that prince wanted to kill him, he could have taken his life in a breath!
Even Xu Zhengyuan, who was a martial ancestor expert, was caught off guard and restrained.
With such strength, he could return with the strength his father left behind. In just a few days, he could control Gantian Mountain.
His heart suddenly moved, and he was in deep thought, "The prince Zong Shou is really talented, unparalleled in the world, but he wants to hide it so well. However, looking at those people in Gantian Mountain, there aren't many of them. To be able to make the prince so wary and bear with it, there should be another reason! "
"Most probably!"
Xu Zhengyuan slightly nodded his head, following which he gave out a bitter laugh, "If that is the case, then I owe him a huge favor. The prince Zong Shou hid for over ten years, but today he made an exception for me. I am ashamed! If those old friends find out about this, they will laugh at me. Mr. Lei Dong was kind enough to help me, but I chased him out. In the end, it ended up like this. I am so ashamed! "
As he said that, Xu Zhengyuan's brows furrowed once more. After a long while, he sighed, "Make a trip back to the city and prepare a huge gift. No matter what, you have to chase up. Although that prince wants to repay me for protecting him for over ten days, I, Xu Zhengyuan, can't be at ease. I am ashamed to accept it! "
Liancheng acknowledged, but he didn't move. Sweeping around, he said, "Then the people nearby …"
"Deal with them all!"
Xu Zhengyuan's expression was really calm like he was talking about something really normal, a sense of dominance hidden within. Since his left arm had recovered, why did he need to care about other people's faces?
However, his eyes were filled with a faint sense of pity. This time, he had really missed out on it.
He regretted that he didn't personally meet this Gantian Mountain prince …

Returning to the carriage, Zong Shou casually took out a talisman to wipe away the sweat on his body. He swallowed a pill, allowing the true qi in his body to recover slightly.
This time it was really easy, just that the consumption was slightly higher. Although that Xu Zhengyuan was at the peak of the martial ancestor realm, there was still that withering sword intent left in his body. It was like an egg being held in his hands, unable to cause any waves.
Only when he activated the cloud shocking god destroying sword intent and used the golden needles did he spend some effort.
Chu Xue, who was in front, was smiling, "Young master, you vented your anger, you should have taught those few people a lesson! Who asked them to look down on you! "
Zong Shou was delighted when he heard that. Not long ago, he was thinking about casually finding someone to vent his anger on, but now he scolded, "Nonsense! How can one be so shallow when dealing with matters? Is it that if a dog bites you, you bite back? If you are bullied by others, you must take revenge before you are willing to let it go? "
Chu Xue's anger dissipated, but she still muttered, "Then you shouldn't have helped that Cloud Saint City lord remove that withering sword intent. Looking at them, it is better if you don't care.
Zong Shou was just acting to tease this brat. This time he frowned and shook his head, his tone becoming serious, "People give me a peach, and I repay them with wine. To me, this is just something I did casually, really simple. To him, it might be a matter of life and death, so why be stingy? "
He didn't say anything more, casually taking a fruit and throwing it out of the window. It actually turned in a spiral and flew to the front. He laughed and scolded, "Brat, you are so young, but you have such a temper! Drive the carriage properly! "
Chuxue cried out and said in a wronged tone, "Young Master, Xue 'er is already very stupid, you are not allowed to hit my head!"
In just a moment, he heard the sound of fruits being eaten, as well as a string of bell-like laughter.
Zong Shou's lips curled up as he thought back to the Cloud Saint City city lord matter.
Perhaps this man of great talent and bold vision in the past was truly old. However, this could also be because he was standing in his position, which was why he saw it this way. In the eyes of others, they would only praise this Xu Zhengyuan for knowing the situation and protecting himself.
After being disturbed by this matter, the inspiration that had appeared before had completely dissipated.
Zong Shou closed his eyes once more to comprehend, but he didn't gain anything even after a long time. His mind was in a mess, so he decided to walk to the window and look out at the scenery to calm himself down.
In his field of vision, he saw smoke and dust rumbling behind him. Zong Shoxin's heart instinctively jumped. In just a moment, he saw another carriage appear in front of him.
There was no one driving it, so the horses galloped on their own. There were also eighteen horses, but they were all Windrider foals. Who knows where these two people got them from. It caused this carriage to travel at an extreme speed, and in just a moment, it had already caught up.
On the carriage stood a red-shirted person. Looking closely, it was Xuanyuan Yiren. Looking down from above, he coldly stared at them. Li Yunniang stood at the shaft of the carriage, her eyes cold.
Zong Shou couldn't help but feel his head hurt. This girl really chased over. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
