Looking on as Ren Bo left the warm room, Zong Shou was in deep thought, thinking about the warning Ren Bo gave before he left.
The cloud ocean hunt concerned the income of Gantian Mountain as well as the number of experts they could recruit. Powers like Yunxia Mountain, Blazing Flame Mountain and Taoyun City definitely wouldn't give up on this chance to suppress Gantian Mountain.
As for that Tiegang Hall, unless Zong Shou paid for it, the treasury wouldn't have money to fix it.
Then, he stared at the pile of beast skins in front of him in a daze, his gaze unfocused.
He said that he didn't want to bother, but he knew. There were some memorials here that he had to deal with as soon as possible.
Being the monster king was tiring. He could only hope that a few months later he would be able to deal with everything and leave.
The bead curtains behind shook and Xuan Yunlan walked out. Then, she bowed towards Zong Shou gratefully, "Thank you ruler, Yunlan is really grateful. I will keep my promise to the 3 month agreement! "
Zong Shou waved his hand dispiritedly, too lazy to bother. He just opened up a document.
Just as he was about to read it, he heard a clear, heart-stirring laugh spread into the room. "In the middle of the night, you still don't forget to deal with administrative matters. You are actually so hardworking. Why do you have to set a month later to hunt in the cloud ocean? Don't you know that there are strong enemies outside of Gantian Mountain? "
Zong Shoxin's heart thumped, thinking to himself that he finally came. Xuan Yunlan didn't have time to leave, her eyes opened wide as she looked out of the window in shock.
In the next moment, she saw a male step into the room from the main door. The guards at the side were like statues, not reacting at all.
Chu Xue and Ruoshui who were standing behind Zong Shou were first shocked. Only when they saw Zhao Yanran behind that person did they calm down.
Xuan Yunlan was totally confused. She recognized this girl, she was from the same sect as her. But what was the identity of this guy?
"We have no choice, Gantian Mountain's finances have dried up. The arrow on the bow has to be released. And it's precisely because we know, that's why we have to lure him out. "
Zong Shou pondered for a moment, then put down the pen in his hand. Then, he stood in front of the writing desk and bowed like a junior. He still spoke with words, "Senior, how should I address you?"
He didn't dare to be disrespectful. For this person to be able to make Gantian Mountain's dragon energy go into hibernation, he was far from just Celestial Realm. That was a realm that he hadn't reached in his last life.
The man in scholarly robes unceremoniously sat down on a nearby chair. With a flick of his sleeve, he helped Zong Shou's body up and said, "You are the ruler of a country, no need to be so courteous. As for myself, I am the Lord of Cang Shengdao. As for how to address me, it is really difficult … "
Sōmorime's eyes narrowed as a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
He thought that the person who came this time might be the head of the Wujue Manor, Yan Fan, or that Tai Yuan Sect Leader. Or perhaps, it was the elders of these two sects.
However, he didn't expect that the person who came would be the revered head of Cang Shengdao.
He heard that this person was a Saint Realm expert long before the God Emperor era.
When martial cultivators and spirit masters stepped into the Celestial Path, they were Spirit Realm, Celestial Realm, God Realm, Saint Realm, End Realm, and True Realm.
End Realm, True Realm, legend had it that there were only 3-5 people in the world. They were the true peak of the worlds and were rarely seen.
Be it the Cloud Desolate Era ten thousand years ago or in the various worlds. Saint Realm experts were already invincible.
However, based on what he knew, this person should have left this world long ago to roam the void.
Such an expert would be suppressed if he came to the Cloud World before the Spiritual Wave rose.
His ability would at least drop by 99%. As long as there were enough Grade-9 experts, they could even take his life!
This was why be it martial cultivators or spirit masters, once they entered the Celestial Path, they would go all out to leave this world.
Did this person take the risk to return to the Cloud World because of his matter? Should he be proud of himself?
The young man in scholarly robes hesitated for a moment before coming to a decision. "My name is Wei Xu. You can call me Senior Brother Wei from now on!"
This time, not only was Zhao Yanran stunned, Xuan Yunlan who was next to her was also stupefied.
When she heard that this young man was their Revered One, she almost lost her composure. At this moment, when he heard this, he lost the ability to think.
Her heart was in turmoil but Xuan Yunlan's expression was still okay. On the other hand, Zhao Yanran had a dejected look on her face. She was extremely conflicted.
In the past, he had thought that it would be his Junior Brother.
Zong Shou also let out an 'ah' as he stared blankly at the man in front of him. He thought to himself, Does this mean that I can already be on the same level as this character from eight thousand years ago?
However, no matter how bold he was, in front of such a person, he still didn't dare to casually say the words' Senior Brother 'out of his mouth.
He couldn't act dumb either, he could only gather his spirit to form words. "How can Zong Shou do I have? I really don't dare! "
"You don't dare and not aren't willing. Which means that you don't mind joining my Cang Shengdao?"
Wei Xu smiled, his eyes filled with satisfaction. "With your talent, if you were placed in Taixuan Sect, it would only delay you. I originally wanted to personally take you in as a disciple but if I snatched you away, those girls in Taiyuan Sect would definitely blame me for being unfair. Even my few Senior Brothers would blame me. Which is why I decided to take you in as a disciple on behalf of my Master's wife who had already immortalized. You can still be considered part of Taiyuan Sect. I remember that Master's wife always had a wish for me to find a disciple to take over her legacy … "
Zong Shou was originally really happy and was prepared to say that it was a surprise. However, when he heard that his Master had already immortalized, he couldn't help but feel bitter. The so-called immortalized was just a nicer way of putting it. In truth, she had already passed away.
Didn't that mean that he still had no one to protect him? A child without a mother was like grass, a child without a master was the same. He didn't pay attention to the words behind. Anyways, it wasn't important.
However, when Wei Xu's words landed, he saw a silent and colorless spiritual energy flow charge into his throat.
Then, Zong Shou was delighted and knew that he could open his mouth to speak.
As expected from a Saint Realm expert. Without making a sound, he was able to heal his vocal cords. During these few days, the bone in his throat didn't show signs of softening and recovering. It made him think that it would take several months to a year for it to recover. At this moment, one of his worries had been solved.
Without much hesitation, Zong Shou bowed, "Zong Shou is willing to follow your orders!" He knew that since Wei Xu had already decided, then he didn't have much room to reject. Why not be more direct? He was curious in his heart. With the sword path one with the spirit that he showed, it was more likely that he was from the Kenzō Sect. Who knows what kind of deal the two sects had between them …
Following which, Wei Xu seemed to have a telepathic connection with him, nodding his head and saying, "I will accept this bow on behalf of Senior Master. In the future, there is no need for this! Zong Shou, you comprehended sword intent at 14, using your own strength to break through the barriers from heaven. I saw that your talent and personality is better than mine in the past which was why I brought you under Senior Master. However, Junior Brother, you can't be arrogant because of this. Do you know why the head of the Kenzō Sect gave up on you? It was because a top talent appeared in the Central Continent. At 19 years old, both spiritual and martial path entered the peak of the Xuanwu Return to Sun realm. His sword path might not be as good as yours, but he was able to merge spirit and martial arts, one man and one sword to kill a giant lightning serpent. Which was why the head of the Kenzō Sect exchanged with me. I helped him obtain such a good talent, but the Kenzō Sect had to give you to me, Cang Shengdao! "
Zong Shou instantly sucked in a deep cold breath. Although he was unhappy with what the Kenzō Sect did, no one liked to be abandoned. Just 19 years old and merging spirit and martial arts made him totally convinced.
He had no choice but to be convinced. This was a true genius amongst geniuses. It was said that people who dual cultivated spirit and martial arts, the earlier they merged spirit and martial arts, the more chances they had to charge for the Saint Realm.
In his last life, he didn't reach that realm which was why he didn't know if it was true or not. However, since there were such rumors and the sects placed so much importance on it, it was most probably true.
Chu Xue scoffed, wanting to say something but stopped. What was 19 years old merging spirit and martial arts? Our Young Master wasn't even 14 and he had already done it!
Wei Xu and Zong Shou's expression dimmed, knowing that the blow just now was a little too big. He shook his head, "You don't have to care so much, I have high hopes for you. You can't do it now, but that doesn't mean you can't do it in the future. You are blessed by the heavens with talent and comprehension, so why envy others? I, Wei Xu, wasn't as good as you in the past. However, in the Saint Realm, there aren't many who can beat me. "
He smiled and asked, "Although you are my Senior Master's disciple, he isn't here anymore. I also have to leave the Cloud World and can only return in a few decades. I have to find someone else to teach you. Junior Brother, are you willing to leave with me now? "
Zong Shou instantly hesitated, wanting to immediately leave and continue to pursue the pinnacle of the sword path. However, no matter what, he couldn't do something like burning the bridge after crossing it.
Thinking about it for a moment, Zong Shou asked carefully, "Can Senior Brother give me a few more months? Let me deal with the matters of this Mountain City. "
When Wei Xu heard that, he looked right at Zong Shou until he felt goosebumps all over his body. Only then did he sigh regretfully, "I wanted to test if Junior Brother could let go of everything here. As expected."
Zong Shoxin's heart jumped slightly, thinking that Wei Xu misunderstood. If he didn't inherit someone else's body, he would have abandoned this Gantian Mountain City like a pair of worn-out shoes.
Just as he was thinking that things weren't good, thinking that he missed out on something and didn't know how to explain. However, he heard Wei Xu's tone change, "Forget it! Originally, I wanted to directly bring you away. I don't care about the foundations of Gantian Mountain. However, when I entered the city, I found out that your governing ability isn't weaker than that of a Saint Ruler. If you don't cultivate Emperor Path Secret Techniques, it would be a waste. You used your second soul and the sword to replace your body, this method is not bad. Later, I will give you something as a gift for joining the sect … "
Shortly after, Wei Xu smiled, "I have too many enemies in the Cloud World and can't waste too much time in your Gantian Mountain City. Before I leave, I will help you deal with those small fries. Junior Brother, you won't have any worries. Rise! "
With a wave of his sleeves, a wind blew within the warm room. In just a moment, Zong Shou was nowhere to be seen in the room. (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.)
