Between the two carriages, who knows when a giant bonfire rose up. The sky was already deep into the night, and Hu Qianqiu's face was even uglier.
A full three hours had passed, but the prince still hadn't returned.
Hu Zhongyuan couldn't take it anymore. His brows were filled with impatience. He wanted to open his mouth to speak several times, but in the end, he stopped himself. In the end, he scoffed, "Father, I hope you can keep your word and wait for him for half a day …"
Hu Qianqiu didn't reply, coldly staring at him before continuing to sit quietly. After a short while, he opened his eyes and looked towards a ravine in the distance.
"Since young master Zongling is here, why not come over for a chat? Do you really think that I am deaf and can't notice you bunch of brats? "
When his words landed, seven miles away, a scoff spread out. Zongling appeared, bringing Feng Xiao and the others behind him as they walked over.
Only when they were a hundred feet away from the carriage did they stop, choosing a human-sized stone to sit on, laughing coldly, "I didn't plan to hide from you! Sir Hu Qianqiu is an earth chakra 8 meridian Xuanwu ancestor. Without the cultivation of a ancestor, who can hide under your eyes? But Zong Ling is a little curious. You and your father have come all the way here. What are you planning with the Crown Prince? "
The eyes of Feng Xiao, who was following behind him, lit up. Although this young master Zongling had the temper of a young master, at this time facing Hu Qianqiu, he was really generous and didn't show any fear. No wonder Zong Shi placed so much importance on him and ordered him to take charge of the situation.
At this moment, even that Hu Zhongyuan showed a look of admiration.
"Plot?" Hu Qianqiu laughed, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Since you know that I am plotting with the prince, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Zongling scoffed, not bothering at all, "If sir Hu Qianqiu has such intentions, then you can attack. Zongling won't resist. If you insist on cutting yourself off from my brother, then Zongling can't do anything about it. Gantian Mountain can't lack your Iron Tiger race. However, your race isn't the only one. Daren, you should know that you and the Crown Prince are secretly meeting here. My elder brother's family is not the only one who is afraid. Even Zong Yang and Zong Shiyuan would have doubts in their hearts. I hope that Milord can understand the intricacies within. "
Hu Zhongyuan frowned and sighed, persuading Hu Qianqiu, "Young master Zongling has a noble status and is one of the direct bloodlines of the Zong family. Father, how can you speak to him like that?"
Hu Qianqiu snorted heavily, wishing he could punch his spineless son with his fist. Killing intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.
In the end, he didn't say a word and averted his gaze.
"Brat, you're quite capable. I don't know if there's anything between me and the Crown Prince. You just need to listen and see … "
He sighed slightly, filled with endless regret. Even if that Crown Prince had half of Zongling's ability, he would go all out to help the only descendant of Weiran become the Monster King.
Zongling smiled in disdain and didn't say anything. He happily took out some food and sat on the stone to fill his stomach. While eating, he glanced at Xuanyuan Yiren who was on the other carriage. His eyes were filled with venom and also greed.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Yiren's fingernails were digging deep into her flesh. Using the piercing pain, she barely suppressed the anxiousness and uneasiness in her heart.
She stared at the hills in the distance, wishing that Zong Shou would never appear here.
Li Yunniang's expression was also dark and sunny, worry appearing in her eyes. However, what she was worried about was different from Xuanyuan Yiren's.
Hesitating for a moment, Li Yunniang took in a deep breath and made a decision, "Little Miss, can you leave with Yunniang? Yunniang has something to report to Little Miss! "
Xuanyuan Yiren's brows furrowed. She didn't care and continued to look at the hills, "What is it that you can't say here?"
Li Yunniang shook her head slightly, her tone cold, "It concerns my Xuan Mountain City and your parents. These words can't enter the ears of others! It will only take a moment … "
"My parents?" Only then did Xuanyuan Yiren's mind jolt, turning around somewhat suspiciously. "Is this true?"
Seeing Li Yunniang's serious expression and determined eyes, Xuanyuan Yiren bit her lips. Xuanyuan Yiren bit her lips and hesitated for a moment, but she still leaped up and moved to the side.
Li Yunniang's mind immediately relaxed. She looked at the hill with a complicated expression. Following which he rose up and followed closely behind Xuanyuan Yiren, flying in that direction.
Looking at the two of them slowly disappear from his field of vision, Hu Qianqiu's brows furrowed, "What are those two girls doing?"
However, he didn't care too much. Hu Qianqiu raised his head and looked at the sky before turning towards Yin Yang. His voice was cold as he questioned, "Half the time has passed. I, Hu Qianqiu, always do what I say! Since I said I would only wait for half a day, then I won't wait for a moment longer. An hour later, no matter how you beg, I will immediately return to Gantian Mountain. Yin Yang, you need to know that it isn't that I don't care about the Ruler's feelings. It is that the Prince doesn't have the fortune and is late! Accompanying you on this trip is already the best I can do! "
"Sir, don't be rash!"
Yin Yang's expression was still expressionless and filled with confidence, "I don't know whether or not the Prince can rush back. I only know that if you miss today, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
Hu Qianqiu's eyes widened, a look of shock appearing in his eyes. Yin Yang's tone, even at this moment, didn't reveal any panic. His tone was really confident, like he didn't care if he stayed or left.
Forget about this Yin Yang, this Lian Fan wasn't from Gantian Mountain. Why was he like that? Not only was he willing to serve under Zong Shou, but he also seemed to be proud of it.
He couldn't help but be curious and look forward to it. Maybe the son of his old friend could give him a surprise.
Hu Zhongyuan, who was at the side, had a different feeling, "Shameless boasting! My father shouldn't have made this trip! "
After mocking, Hu Zhongyuan looked to the side and saw Zongling and the others chewing on dry rations. His face sunk as he waved his sleeves to the side. Instantly, there were a few servants beside the bonfire who understood. They carried 2 freshly barbecued wild tooth boars in front of Zongling. They also raised a bonfire beside the stone.
Zongling didn't reject, directly taking off a hind leg and biting into it. Instantly her mouth was filled with oil, the taste was really fresh. She couldn't help but nod towards Hu Zhongyuan gratefully. The latter also smiled. While he relaxed in his heart, he was quite pleased with himself.
He thought to himself that his father was old and cared too much about his relationship with the ruler. The future of the iron tiger race still needed to be planned by him.
Although that prince was the ruler's direct son. But with a dual meridian body, how could a piece of trash take up the position of monster king? His father was really old and muddle-headed.
Not only was young master Zong Shi one of the direct bloodlines of the sky fox Zong family, but he also reached xiantian at the age of 20. The few hidden sects in Donglin Cloud Continent all wanted to take him in as a direct disciple, so he should be what Gantian Mountain relied on.
In this chaotic world, only the strong could survive and ensure that Gantian Mountain didn't lose their foundations.

Tens of miles away, a battle had already ended. The entire process took less than 10 minutes before it came to an end.
Zong Yuan's face was covered in dirt, his body lying on the ground unable to move. However, he could still speak, "Why didn't you kill me? Why did you show mercy? With your sword technique, if you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't even need 10 breaths! What a huge humiliation! If I die, then I die. I, Zong Yuan, don't need you to show mercy! "
Zong Shou smiled slightly, keeping his sword back into the sheath. The purple lightning spear that this person used was really not bad. Like what Zong Weiran said, this person had hopes of reaching the ascended realm. It wasn't referring to the time when the spiritual wave rose, but when the spiritual energy was low.
His talent could be compared to some direct disciples of the big sects. Unfortunately, his spear technique was too messy, not forming a system, which reduced his points.
Suddenly having an idea, Zong Shou smiled and asked, "Your purple lightning spear was created by yourself? This spear technique was also self-taught? "
Zong Yuan was startled, his face dimming as he scoffed coldly, "I'm not your direct disciple, so how can I learn any good martial arts? Those big sects are worried about me being a disciple of the Zong family, so they won't easily accept me. Apart from creating it myself, what else can I do? Hey! If I had your conditions, the person who lost today might not be me! I would definitely be able to kill you under my spear … "
Sōmorime's eyes lit up, and his impression of this person rose by a few notches. This fellow's strength was similar to that of Deceitful Sword Ren Qianchou. Although he had talent, he was on the same level as the hundred thousand blood assassins.
He automatically skipped over the latter part of his sentence. Zong Shou casually waved his hand, and on his palm, a lightning glow shone. He smiled, "Speaking of the sky fox Zong family, I, Zong Shou, am actually from a branch! We should work together against a common enemy. If you feel regretful, I have a lightning technique here. If you are willing to follow me, I don't mind passing it to you! "
Zong Yuan's expression changed slightly, showing that he was tempted. Following which he tilted his head and spat out, "You should just kill me! Zong Yuan would rather die than be a traitor! "
Zong Shou couldn't help but smile, "Cousin, you are such an honest person. Why don't you even know how to pretend to be polite? If you follow me temporarily, won't you be able to keep your life and also learn this technique? "
Looking to the side, he saw that Long Batian's corpse had already been dealt with by Chu Xue. She directly caught a few beasts and didn't need to rush them. Long Batian was eaten up cleanly, not leaving a single trace. At this moment, he only left behind some of his belongings.
Chuxue had been with him for a few months, and she was getting more and more skilled at destroying the corpses and evidence.
Zong Shou smiled and looked towards the direction of the flames. He had wasted so much time because of these two people. That Hu Qianqiu was said to be impatient, would he get impatient? It was best to rush over quickly. (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.)
