Ling Fakong looked at the tiger king knife in front of his eyes in shock. First, he was at a loss. Moments later, he came back to his senses.
This prince actually wanted him, Ling Fakong, to commit suicide here!
That's right, their Ling family was different from the Chai family. Although everyone knew that the wind bear race leaned towards Zong Shi and Zong Yang, they didn't do anything substantial.
Their eye wolf race went into battle and they had to give an explanation.
At this moment, the people around were all silent. No one spoke. Even Hu Zhongyuan kept his mouth shut at this moment. In the bloody power struggle of this era, the winner was the king, the loser was the bandit. That was the theory.
Zong Shou's tone. He continued, "Uncle Ling, you are my father's old subject. However, this time you are really wrong. If I don't deal with you, how can I, Zong Shou, convince the people in the future? "
Ling Fakong looked at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers around as well as the sharp knife in front of him. Following which, he gave out a bitter smile.
His hand trembled as he was about to pick up the tiger king knife to kill himself to atone for his sins. Ling Xuan, who was at the side, unexpectedly took the knife first. He knelt down once more, "Prince wants my eye wolf race to give an explanation. Ling Xuan is my father's direct eldest son, can I help him receive the punishment?"
Zong Shou blinked his eyes in shock. This time he took a close look at Ling Xuan. 5 meridians of the earth chakra level, similar to Hu Zhongyuan in the past. His talents were similar. However, his personality was better. Looking at his strength, he didn't lack much and didn't have any bottlenecks.
In the next moment, he saw Chai Yuan gallop over from the private army of the wind bear race.
His face was ashen white as he got off the horse and knelt down, "Chai Yuan begs the prince to let Ling Country Duke live. Brother Ling and I were dumb and were fooled by Zong Shi and Zong Yang. However, we didn't have any bad intentions. Chai Yuan is willing to guarantee that Ling Country Duke will follow the rules and won't dare to go against them. "
"Ah, dumb? I think you all are too smart! "
When Zong Shou heard that, he scoffed coldly. However, looking around, he saw that although Hu Zhongyuan and Zong Gang didn't say anything, their faces were filled with sincerity.
Thus, he gave up on the thought of forcing Ling Fakong to kill himself. His position wasn't stable and there were too few people he could use. He also had to consider the feelings of these old officials. It was still far from the time to make a promise.
That being said, it was indeed a pity for him to be destroyed like this with eight meridians of the Spiritual Martial Realm and the combat strength of the Spiritual Technique.
Thinking for a moment, Zong Shou, "Country Duke's decision," He could avoid committing suicide, but the Duke of Spirit Nation would be demoted by one rank, and the position of the Eye Wolf Tribe's leader would be handed over to Ling Xuan. Today, all the Eye Wolf Race people who participated in Zong Shi's rebellion, the Ling Family will cut off their heads and send them over. Those below Battalion Generals will be punished for their crimes. Along with Ling Fakong, they will serve in the Sinner Camp for 20 years. The Eye Wolf Clan reduced another fifty thousand private soldiers and transferred them to the border to guard. Are you willing to accept such a punishment? "
Ling Fakong's body trembled once more. He raised his head, only to see Zong Shou's eyes were clear, burning and filled with coldness. He knew that such an outcome couldn't be changed.
His face turned even whiter as he lowered his head, "Ling Fakong obeys!"
Apart from the private army, the Eye Wolf race had close to 160 thousand people serving in the army. Within Gantian Mountain City, there were over 3 thousand people with military positions. Country Generals and above killing themselves, those below entering the sinner camp. Another 50 thousand moved to the border to defend.
One could say that it was a heavy blow that they had never faced before. It pretty much weakened their Ling Family's power within Gantian Mountain City to the extreme.
It also temporarily cut off the possibility of their Ling Family betraying.
And this kind of punishment just happened to step on the bottom line in his heart. Forcing him to kill himself was just a show to scare him, such that he didn't have the courage to bargain and resist the punishment.
All of a sudden, his eyes were startled as he looked at Zong Shou. This kid's style was obviously different from Zong Weiran's, but his tactics were no weaker.
Only then did Zong Shou smile, making the people around feel like they were bathed in the spring breeze. Since this Ling Family was dealt with, then there was only one last step left.
Losing the support of Ling Fakong and Chai Yuan, Zong Shi was just a direct bloodline disciple of the Zong family. The ten over towns he controlled were far from enough to support the situation.
With the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered here, it was enough to sweep them.
However, just as such a thought rose up. He saw the group of soldiers in the distance were pushed to the sides.
The people who came were Hu Zhongyuan and Qiu Wei. Behind them followed 2 thousand iron tiger race iron tiger halberd warriors. There were also 3 thousand black armored infantry who were all 7 feet tall, wearing heavy armor. By their waists hung ten feet long mo knives.
Zong Shou took just one look and knew that this was the personal army built up by Qiu Wei. Another elite of Gantian Mountain City, wind splitting mo knife soldiers. The only one that wasn't made up of a pure race, the monster race and human race mixed together. They were all loyal to Qiu Wei.
Apart from these 5 thousand elites, there were many people who were escorted over. There were a total of a few thousand. With the sky fox Zong family as the main force. They took up 1/6.
Not far away, there were 2 people who were all alone. Looking out, in Zong Shou's memory, he found a match right away.
It was Zong Hao and Zong Shiyuan. However, at this moment, the 2 of them weren't as spirited as they were in his memory.
They were both in a bad state. The people around all avoided the 2 of them like they were the plague.
Zong Shiyuan was still okay, like he had given up. He was expressionless. That Zong Hao was a little worried, his face filled with trepidation.
Zong Shou's brows couldn't help but rise up. He knew that Hu Zhongyuan and Qiu Wei had already swept out Zong Shi's remaining forces. This saved him a lot of effort.
Hu Qianqiu rode his horse over. He originally wanted to laugh out loud. However, when he looked at him, he was like a walking corpse. The listless Chai Yuan and Ling Fakong looked at one another, sighing to themselves. If they knew this would happen, why did they do what they did?
It wasn't good for them to be too gleeful in front of the 2 of them. He waved his huge hand and heavily patted Zong Shou's shoulder to vent his excitement.
As for that Qiu Wei, he was even calmer. Looking up and down at Zong Yuan, a weird glow flashed in his eyes. His heart was filled with happiness, peace, and relief.
Zong Shou smiled, bowing solemnly, "This time it is all thanks to Uncle Qiu. Zong Shou has no words to thank you, please accept my bow."
That Qiu Wei immediately moved aside. However, when he looked at Zong Shou, he still bowed solemnly. His expressionless face couldn't help but change, his eyes warm, "The prince doesn't need to do that. Qiu Wei is the subject of the previous ruler. Helping the prince is the responsibility of a subject! "
Zong Shou's lips couldn't help but twitch. Why didn't he see Zong Shiyuan and the others doing that?
He liked this Qiu Wei. Zong Weiran was a 10 year Monster king. Although he left many problems for Gantian Mountain, he knew how to judge people.
His subordinates and officials were all outstanding people.
"Prince, you don't have to bother about him. His personality is too cold. However, in our Gantian Mountain, he is the one who follows the rules the most. No matter how much you praise him, he won't be happy. "
Hu Qianqiu shook his head, following which his tiger eyes opened wide, his tone changing, "As for these people, they are the trusted aides of Zong Ming and Zong Hao. How is the prince prepared to deal with them?"
Only then did Zong Shou look over, carefully looking at the group of people who were forcefully forced to kneel hundreds of feet away.
Roughly 6 thousand of them, there were people from various races and divisions. The robes and armor they wore were all above lieutenant level. One could see how strong Zong Shi and Zong Yang were and how deeply they infiltrated.
Most of them were extremely dejected and perturbed, as if they had just passed away.
On the other hand, those few hundred sky fox race people were really calm. Not only were they not shocked or afraid, they were really calm. There were even a portion of them who were laughing softly.
Zong Shou shook his head when he saw that. How much did Zong Weiran pamper the Zong family? How did he raise such a weirdo?
Just as he was about to give the order, another group of people dashed over like lightning. There were over 10 of them, all dressed beautifully, wearing a light fur coat, and all of them were a little old. Just as they got close, someone shouted, "Prince please wait, we have something to say!"
Zong Shou frowned, his eyes filled with confusion as he looked to the side. Hu Zhongyuan got close to his ear and replied softly, "This is your Zong family race elder meeting …"
Only then did Zong Shou understand. In his heart, he was guessing that these so called sky fox elders were here to ask for mercy for the Zong family direct bloodline disciples.
Then, he saw that when those people got close, they didn't bow. The white-haired old man at the front simply cupped his fists, "Prince, are you crazy? Why do you want to capture our Zong family direct bloodline disciples? Don't you know that these people are the pillars of our Zong family? "
Zong Gang frowned when he heard that, "These people are on Zong Shi's side, plotting a rebellion. Why can't we capture them?"
"Shut up! What right do you have to speak? "
That white-haired old man scolded, causing Zong Gang's face to flush red. Following which his tone turned gentle, "They were just tempted by Zong Shi, it isn't a big crime. Which young person hasn't taken the wrong path before? Actually, just give them a light punishment. Prince, you have to think carefully. Our Zong family doesn't have many people. Don't be tricked by others and destroy your own wall. When going to war, your own family is more reliable. "
Whilst saying that, he glanced at Hu Qianqiu and Qiu Wei, causing their faces to turn green.
As soon as this person finished speaking, another red-faced old man opened his mouth and said, "Crown Prince Su Lai's natural disposition is amiable and magnanimous. Returning to the city to take over is what everyone wants, it is right and proper! During the race elder meeting, I will definitely vote for you. Since the late monarch has passed away, the heir will naturally take over the position of clan head. "
His tone was weird, causing the surrounding people to fall silent. As for Zong Gang, Zong Yuan and the others, their eyes were filled with worry. Even a fool could hear the threat in the words of this sky fox race elder.
Hu Zhongyuan and Qiu Wei kept silent. This matter was a Zong family matter. Moreover, with the current situation, they could only bear with it and compromise. It wasn't suitable to deal with these sky fox direct bloodline disciples.
Zong Shou didn't get angry, instead, he laughed, looking up at the sky. Even if he didn't care much about the monster king position, at this moment he felt really depressed.
However, a moment later, Zong Shou forcefully suppressed it, grinning, "I only want to say that my personality and that of my father are a little different …" If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
