Zong Shou was enlightened. Naturally, he had heard of such a method before. Many martial masters would choose such a method when breaking through to the ascended ancestor realm.
However, an entire stone palace made of Tiegang Rock was truly extravagant. It was all made of tiegang rock. No wonder it was called the Tiegang Hall, such a direct name. Just the purchase of these rocks alone cost a fortune. The grade 4 mind stones used every year would be no less than a few hundred.
Actually in his last life, before he broke through to the ascended realm in real life, he did something similar. However, at that time, he didn't need to spend so much effort. He could directly create a few smurfs in God Emperor to kill and challenge people. At that time, it was a bloody storm, killing people like flies. Although he didn't truly kill people, his sword was proven in actual battle! True sword techniques.
However, suppressing true qi. Didn't that mean that even a 9 meridian Xuanwu ancestor wouldn't be much stronger than him? Why did he suddenly have such a bad feeling?
This Zhu Junhou was a really careful person. Apart from talking about the Tiegang Hall matter, no matter what Zong Shou asked, he would say that he didn't know. Keeping his mouth shut. In the end, Zong Shou felt that it was boring and gave up on the idea of getting information from this person.
When they reached the peak of the mountain, they used a full hour. Zong Shou looked out of the window, only to see that this place had been leveled, forming a hundred thousand feet wide platform. At the edges of the platform were many crossbow carriages. They were all tens of feet wide, and the strings were made of beast tendons mixed with iron. There were a total of 400 of them, protecting the entire Xuan Mountain City, making one's scalp go numb.
In the center of this place, there was a giant stone hall. It was a hundred feet tall and a thousand feet wide.
It was all made of red tiegang rock. The moment Zong Shou got close, he felt that the internal energy in his body was being suppressed.
When Zong Shou came down from the carriage, he saw a bunch of people waiting at the bottom of the stone steps.
Not only was Xuanyuan Yiren there, there was also a middle-aged lady and a man in his forties wearing a brocade robe and carrying a mandarin duck blade. There was also a young man who was standing on the stairs and looking down at him coldly.
Other than the latter, the two people in front of him were standing on top of the tall building, so he had seen them before. Especially this noblewoman, he had some impression of her. As for the other one, it should be the other Black Tortoise Ancestor of Xuan Mountain City, Tan Tao. Before he came here, Hu Zhongyuan had mentioned it to him. He more or less knew about the people of Xuan Mountain City.
Zong Shou's expression immediately turned solemn. He straightened his robe and walked in front of the middle-aged lady. He bowed deeply: "Zong Shou greets mother-in-law! It's been ten years since we last met. Is mother-in-law doing well? It was Zong Shou's misfortune that he was only able to see his mother-in-law's face once in ten years; it was really a pity. All these years, he had always regretted it. Oh right, I remember that day my father told me about the two of you. He said that the relationship between father-in-law and mother-in-law was stronger than gold, making one envious. He said that in the future, Zong Shou and Yiren would be like you and the city lord, loving each other … "
Li Sina's complexion immediately changed, turning green and red. Her eyes were filled with shame, but more than that, there was anger.
This kid was really annoying! He purposely brought up what happened ten years ago. Wasn't he purposely mocking her for being ungrateful?
However, at this moment, she could only suppress her anger, reaching out her hand to help him up, acting like a virtuous and kind person as she smiled, "Prince please rise! The marriage between you and Yiren hasn't been settled. It's best if you don't call her mother-in-law. "
Before she could finish her sentence, a soft sneer came from the top of the stairs. "How shameless! I gave you some face and you were prepared to open a dye shop! Yiren is a direct disciple of my Pill Fountain Sect, how can you get close to her? Zong Shou you should know your place. You should scram out of Xuan Mountain City yourself … "
Zong Shou felt weird, looking at that person and saying in shock, "Who is this person?" No matter how he looked at him, he felt that this person was similar to Long Batian.
A smile appeared on Li Sina's face. However, the one who replied was Tan Tao, "This is Xuanyuan Yiren's senior brother, Pill Fountain Sect's 6th direct disciple Fang Shu! He came to our Xuan Mountain City as a guest. He is a righteous person and loves to speak up for justice. If the prince is free, you can make friends with him … "
"Pill Fountain Sect? So he is an outsider. "
Zong Shou replied with an 'oh', nodding his head in understanding, "How rude!"
After saying that, he turned around and didn't bother anymore. He didn't look at Xuanyuan Yiren, his eyes were solemn as he waited quietly at the bottom of the stone steps. He was as calm as a mountain and also gave off a righteous aura.
That Fang Shu didn't like Zong Shou, at this moment his eyes were cold, filled with killing intent as he looked up and down at Zong Shou. Tan Tao was also slightly surprised, his gaze turning dark and cold as he swept over.
Zong Shou was annoyed by this person, scolding him in his heart for being cunning and being more wary. Since this Fang Shu spoke up for justice, then the one who wasn't righteous was him. Only a dog that didn't bark was the scariest.
After waiting for a moment, Zhu Junhou who went in to report had returned. He walked to the side of Zong Shou to show that he didn't dare to be in front of him, lowering his body and raising his hand, "Prince, please! City lord Xuanyuan has been unwell these few days and it isn't convenient for him to personally welcome you. He is waiting in the hall … "
Zong Shou smiled and led the way up the stone steps. Just as he walked in, he felt his aura being pushed below Xiantian. Then, he looked opposite, a white bearded male was sitting in the hall. White beard and white hair, but his face was red and healthy, looking really young. He looked like he was only 20, not much older than Xuanyuan Yiren. He was no different from the Xuanyuan Tong from 10 years ago in Zong Shou's memory.
Zong Shou was looking at this person, that Xuanyuan Tong was also sizing him up. His expression was filled with sadness and also a little emotional.
Once the group of people entered, the door made of mysterious metal was shut with a loud bang.
Zong Shou was shocked, looking behind him. Thinking to himself that this Xuan Mountain City was planning to catch a turtle in a jar?
Li Sina brought Xuanyuan Yiren, Tan Tao, Luo Xian and the others to sit on the right. Zhu Junhou directly stood beside Xuanyuan Tong, his hands behind his back.
Xuanyuan Tong looked at Zong Shou before retracting his gaze, slightly nodding his head, "Nephew please sit! There's no need to be so courteous … "
Zong Shou still bowed deeply before sitting opposite Xuanyuan Tong without any courtesy.
In terms of identity, as the next Monster king of Gantian Mountain, he was better than Xuanyuan Tong. However, their seniority was a full generation apart. This bow was for the friendship between the 2 families and also for Xuanyuan Yiren.
The hall was empty, only the few of them were left. Ruoshui didn't follow on the carriage, Hu Zhongyuan and Chu Xue sat behind Zong Shou.
Xuanyuan Tong waved his sleeves again, a few servants walked over and placed a table in front of them. Not only were there fruits and delicacies, there was also wine. However, no one bothered about it. Even Chu Xue sat stiffly. The atmosphere within the stone hall was really solemn and depressed.
In the end, it was Xuanyuan Tong who spoke first, "Does the prince know why I could only stay in this Tiegang Hall these 2 years?"
Zong Shou was startled, based on what Zhu Junhou said, wasn't he trying to break through to the ascended ancestor? Was there another reason?
Thinking back to before, Zhu Junhou mentioned that Xuanyuan Tong had a disease. At that time, he found it weird. A 9 meridian Xuanwu ancestor with millions of kilograms of strength, able to split mountains and split stones, how could he have an illness?
At that time, he thought that the city lord was purposely acting cold and unhappy. Now listening to his words, did he really have some problems?
"Since it was to rethink my martial path and investigate my foundations. It was also because I was too anxious to cultivate and had some problems. I could only use this Tiegang Hall to suppress my meridians and slowly plan … "
Without waiting for him to reply, Xuanyuan Tong had already opened his mouth to explain. Then, he asked once more, "Then does the prince know that my brother Weiran might not be dead?"
The moment he said that, the entire hall was in an uproar. Not only were Li Sina and Tan Tao shocked, but even Zong Yuan and Hu Zhongyuan all stood up, their eyes filled with shock.
This time Zong Shou was totally stunned. Coming to this era, this was the first time someone told him that Zong Weiran might still be alive.
Thinking about it slightly, Zong Shou's back was even straighter, sitting upright, his eyes looking straight at Xuanyuan Tong, "Does the city lord know the details? Are you willing to tell me? "
Xuanyuan Tong smiled, filling the wine cup in front of him and raising it towards Zong Shou. Zong Shou was helpless and could only drink it. He only felt that this wine was really strong and strong. The moment he drank it, he felt dizzy from the rush. However, he didn't care. As a martial artist, drinking this bit of wine wasn't much. Later on, he would use true qi to force it out.
Only to hear Xuanyuan Tong say expressionlessly, "I don't know the details. However, although that oblivion cloud ocean is a death place, it is only to us earth chakra cultivators. If one was above the ascended realm, they might not die! "
Sōmorime's eyes constricted, forgetting to expel the wine, "City lord means that my father is already an ascended ancestor?"
"The prince knows so little!"
Xuanyuan Tong shook his head and drank another cup, "Actually brother Weiran had already ascended to the ascended ancestor 6 years ago. Until half a year ago, he couldn't hide it anymore and was found by a few hidden sects. He had no choice but to hide in the oblivion cloud ocean. That place is a death place to us, but in his eyes, it might be a path to life. The prince should know that in the cloud world, there is a rule that people above the ascended realm can't join in the conflicts of the 5 continents. Brother Weiran has broken that rule … "
Zong Shou drank another cup of wine, only feeling that his brain wasn't enough. In his memory, didn't Zong Weiran only enter the ascended realm after escaping from the oblivion cloud ocean?
However, his cheap father didn't fear the 3 spiritual grandmasters of the Lingyun Sect. At that time, he was probably far from the ascended ancestor realm.
But why did this person die later on? Why was he surrounded and killed by so many experts?
In an instant, it was like cold water was dripping down from head to toe. He totally gave up on the thought of surpassing that person in terms of cultivation before Zong Weiran escaped.
