Hu Zhongyuan closed his eyes and waited for death. Within the carriage, a sword suddenly stabbed out. Suddenly, he thrust out his sword. When the sword-light flashed out, it was not only soundless, but also seemingly transparent. However, it didn't save Hu Zhongyuan, directly stabbing towards where the axe came from.
Only to hear a low scoff in the air, the sky full of axe light instantly retracted. It turned and slashed towards the direction of the carriage.
The sword and axe crossed in mid-air, but they didn't collide. With a light cracking sound, they separated.
A graceful figure suddenly appeared on the Cloud Crossing Carriage. A thousand feet away, a 40-year-old middle-aged man appeared. He held an ancient copper axe, his face was really ugly. At this moment, he was furious. A speck of blood appeared on his chest and gradually dyed his clothes red.
Ruoshui was on the carriage, holding a long sword. She looked forwards expressionlessly, there was no expression on her face at all. Her aura was as soft as water, just like her sword.
It was totally different from the person holding the axe. Although she was naturally seductive, when she was quiet, she didn't have any sense of presence. If it wasn't for her being at the center of everyone's attention, she would have been ignored.
Luo Xian's expression was uncertain. Looking at the sword in her hand that was close to transparent under the sunlight, he was filled with fear.
Killing intent flashed in his eyes. Just as the violent energy was getting thicker and thicker. Suddenly, the door of the cloud crossing carriage was opened. Zong Shou yawned, looking like he hadn't woken up yet as he walked down from the carriage.
"What is going on, why is it so noisy?"
Looking around, Zong Shou rubbed his eyes. His expression was one of shock, following which he raged, "What is going on? Hu Zhongyuan, didn't I tell you to wait outside the city gates? Why are you fighting with Xuan Mountain City? Who attacked first, this is my future Yue family, how can I offend them? The two of you are really unreasonable! Why aren't you apologizing! "
Luo Xian was so furious that he wanted to spit out blood. Just now, this kid was looking on with interest. Now in front of so many people, he acted like he had just woken up! How could there be such a shameless person in this world?
Just as he was furious, the ancient sun axe in his hand giving off an energy glow once more. Zong Shou's face turned cold, looking over coldly, "You are Luo Xian of Xuan Mountain City? Although my 2 servants are in the wrong, you just need to punish them. Why do you need to be so heavy-handed? Is your Xuan Mountain City prepared to break the alliance and be enemies with our Gantian Mountain? "
Luo Yan felt suffocated again. He felt a wave of resentment in his chest that could not be released. Just as he was about to go all out to kill this Gantian Mountain Prince, a shout spread out from the distance.
"Stop!"
A man dressed in black armor suddenly broke through the layers of armored soldiers in front of him. He was riding a colt that had three horns on its head and was almost twice the size of the Windrider Foal. His face was handsome, his lips red. Who knew how old he was, only that he was around 30. His hands were empty as he galloped in front of the carriage. Be it Ruoshui or Hu Zhongyuan, he didn't care about them at all.
Just as the many Xuan Mountain City martial cultivators were surprised, this person got off the horse and bowed, "Xuan Mountain City Zhu Junhou greets the prince! In the past, your father once saved my life. Zhu Junhou has always been grateful to him. "
Zong Shou was startled, thinking to himself that this Xuan Mountain City actually had someone who knew how to be polite and grateful, how rare. Seeing that person stand up, his expression turned cold, "Since my Xuan Mountain City and Gantian Mountain formed an alliance, we went all out. I don't know why the prince allowed me to injure people in my Xuan Mountain City and scold my city lord? "
"So you also know that our 2 families are allies?"
Zong Shou scoffed, turning towards Hu Zhongyuan who had climbed up and asked, "Zhongyuan, just now how long did we wait outside?"
Hu Zhongyuan was in so much pain that he grimaced. When he heard that, he was pumped up, putting out 4 fingers, "8 hours, from morning till night, we waited for 8 hours!"
"So it was only 8 hours, no wonder I didn't sleep enough! So sleepy … "
Zong Shou yawned once more, his eyes filled with sleepiness, "This is how Xuan Mountain City treats their guests? Why don't we return outside and wait for a while? "
Zhu Junhou's brows furrowed, his gaze stabbing towards Luo Xian like lightning. That Luo Xian also felt slightly awkward, following which he scoffed furiously and turned his head away. "A person who can't even protect himself, who doesn't know his place, why see him? Little miss can't marry such a piece of trash, my Xuan Mountain City can't accept him! “
When Zong Shou heard that, he laughed coldly, "So that's the case! I already know what City lord Xuanyuan wants. Since this place doesn't welcome me, then I won't be willing to stay any longer Zong Shou. Let's go … "
He didn't say anything more, waving his sleeves and walking back to the carriage.
Chu Xue rolled her eyes, immediately turning the carriage and heading towards the city gate. Hu Zhongyuan and Zong Yuan didn't say a word, riding the Windrider foals once more and following behind the carriage.
When Zhu Junhou saw that, his face alternated between green and white. He stared viciously at Luo Xian and bowed, "Prince please wait! Just now City lord Xuanyuan has ordered to personally meet you in Tiegang Hall! "
Zong Shou stayed in the carriage, not making a sound. Zhu Junhou frowned once more, in the end it turned into a sigh, his expression more respectful, "My Xuan Mountain City will give you an explanation for today's matter!"
Luo Xian was furious. Just as he was about to speak, he felt that Zhu Junhou's cold eyes were still looking over here. His heart turned cold, unable to say anything more.

The so-called Tiegang Hall wasn't within Xuan Mountain City, but on Xuan Mountain behind the city.
The so-called Xuan Mountain was 2400 feet high, reaching into the clouds. Other than the side facing the Xuan Mountain, the other sides were all huge rocks that were comparable to fine steel. The walls were thousands of feet tall. The mountain was majestic, becoming the natural city wall of Xuan Mountain City. As long as ten thousand people defended, it couldn't be broken.
Even on the side towards Xuan Mountain City, it was extremely steep. Luckily, there was a winding mountain path that led to the peak. The cloud crossing carriage pretty much traveled on all terrain, barely being able to pass through here.
Chu Xue didn't need to drive and was changed back by Zong Yuan. At this moment, she was beside Zong Shou, blinking curiously, "Young master, we caused such a ruckus and nothing happened at all. Just now Xue was terrified, thinking that uncle would most probably die … "
Zong Shou smiled and didn't reply. How could they really turn on one another? Everyone thought that Zong Shou wanted to go to Xuan Mountain City.
However, how many people could see clearly that when Gantian Mountain's power shrank. From the previous nine provinces to five, this Xuan Mountain City wasn't important to Gantian Mountain.
Zong Weiran had the heart to swallow the world, which was why he set up a trap here, using Xuan Mountain City as the east barrier. He could attack the west without any worries.
However, now that he died, whether or not Gantian Mountain could protect itself was a problem. This Xuan Mountain City instead became a burden, affecting a portion of their strength.
However, Zong Shou was a person with no ambition. If it wasn't for Xuanyuan Yiren, he wouldn't bother about the life and death of the people in the city. He could just suck up to Pill Fountain Sect and Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect. Let's see if these sects could protect this city. If it was Lingyun Sect, it would be more likely.
Other people only thought that Pill Fountain Sect and Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect were strong, having over ten ascended ancestors. That Xuan Mountain City lord would definitely know the details.
Seeing that he didn't reply, Chu Xue wanted to know more and more. She tugged at his sleeves, her eyes watery, a begging expression on her face.
Zong Shou glanced at her and then curled his lips in disdain, "Even if I say it, Xue, can you understand? Think about the position of Xuan Mountain City and how many troops we have in Tianlan Province. Nearby, what benefits can our Gantian Mountain get … "
Chuxue was immediately enraged. This was simply looking down on her intelligence! Even if the one who said that was her prince, she couldn't take it!
Suppressing the urge to punch Zong Shou's head, Chu Xue sat down with a solemn face and was prepared to enter deep thought. This time she had to think clearly so that this fellow wouldn't dare to underestimate her! However, moments later, her eyes were getting more and more confused.
Position? Troops? Benefits? Eh? Why was it getting more and more complicated?
On the contrary, Ruoshui who laid back on the soft bed was deep in thought.
Zong Shou didn't bother about Chu Xue, looking out of the window. Who knows if he was worried that they would cause trouble once more. At this moment, on the left and right, there was a black mass of iron armored cavalry. Dozens of xiantian experts were protecting these two places. Amongst which there were 4 martial ancestor experts. They were both vigilant and resentful. From time to time, they would look over in his direction.
Zong Shou didn't care at all, acting like nothing had happened as he waved his hand towards Zhu Junhou. The latter was startled. After hesitating slightly, he rode his horse to the side of the window. After bowing, he said warily, "What matter does the prince have for me?"
Zong Shou sized this person up and down like he was deeply in love. Only when Zhu Junhou started to feel terrified did he smile, "Why doesn't uncle live in the city and instead on the mountain? What kind of place is that Tiegang Hall? "
Zhu Junhou instantly calmed down. However, he hesitated for a moment before replying, "It's okay to tell the prince about this matter! The city lord has stopped caring about city matters in recent years and has been focusing on the martial path. 3 years ago, due to his martial path bottleneck, he was unable to improve. Thus, he ordered people to build a giant stone hall on Xuan Mountain. It was made from Tiegang stone and he also hired a few return to sun spirit masters to carve a spiritual formation. The energy within spread and once all martial cultivators and spirit masters enter, they wouldn't be able to use any true qi or soul power. He wanted to suppress his cultivation and start from the lowest point to try and analyze his martial path to make up for his weaknesses. This is really common amongst martial cultivators. It seems like the prince's family has learned a lot and you should have heard of it. Thanks to the blessings of this palace, I have also made great progress recently!
