"I heard that this Yue Guanyun is prepared to officially establish a country and call himself king, what a joke …"
Hu Zhongyuan walked while his eyes were filled with a mocking expression, "Just 4 provinces of land! In the past when the late ruler was there, he ruled 9 provinces and didn't even call himself king. This Yue Guanyun actually dares to be a step ahead, his personality is so arrogant! "
The moment he said those words, although the people around didn't speak, their faces all showed their agreement. What happened just now made them feel like they had a common enemy.
Zong Shou didn't bother, thoughts flying in his head. Originally, based on what he wanted, he just needed to get more beast crystals. He wasn't prepared to bother about the alliance fleet of the 3 cities.
However, just now that Yue Guanyun did infuriate him. Naturally, this plan needed to be changed.
He only hoped that this Psychic Island would have such things for sale.
The reporting place for the cloud ocean hunt was not far from the pier, in a small building. When Zong Shou rushed over, he was slightly shocked.
The person in charge of guarding here was actually Lingyun Sect's Long Ruo.
What was surprising was that Lei Dong and Zhao Yanran were there too. He was filled with questions in his heart, but Zong Shou's face didn't reveal any weird expressions.
After exchanging greetings with one another, they went straight to the main topic.
"Your Gantian Mountain and Xuan Mountain City want to use the cloud ocean whirlpool ladder near Psychic Island?"
Long Ruo seemed to have expected it and wasn't surprised. He only focused on observing Zong Shou. However, no matter how he looked, Zong Shou didn't say anything. Apart from some lightning sparks appearing around Zong Shou's body, maybe due to some spiritual artifact, there wasn't anything surprising about him.
The true qi and soul power that he cultivated in the past had disappeared without a trace. His soul and body seemed to be protected by something such that one couldn't see clearly anymore.
He was filled with questions in his heart for a moment, but Long Ruo didn't pay much attention to it. He purposely came here to take a look at Zong Shou. Whether or not he was as the rumors said. However, at this moment, he felt both disappointed and relaxed.
"There's quite a lot of free time there. However, City Lord Zong Shou should know about this rule. Every cloud ship cost 10 grade 4 beast crystals. Five Fang Giant Warships, five more! If you choose to share, you don't have to pay — "
Zong Shou curled his lips in disdain. It was precisely because of these secluded sects that they occupied more than a dozen Cloud Sea Whirlpool Ladders that led to the bottom of the Cloud Sea. There were many forces in the world that had no choice but to report to these sects every time they went to the Cloud Sea to hunt. Over the years, it was unknown how much money he had been extorted.
However, at this moment, he was under someone else's roof. He had no choice but to lower his head. He didn't dare to choose to split and directly took out a bag with 110 grade 6 beast crystals inside.
Long Ruo only took a quick glance before keeping it with satisfaction. Then, he heard Zong Shou say, "I would like to hire some Soaring Cloud Sect's inner disciples to board the ship."
"Hire my sect's disciples?"
Long Ruo's brows twitched and immediately understood what Zong Shou meant. This was a good way to prevent Taoyun and Blazing Flame City from taking the chance to attack. With the Soaring Cloud Sect disciples there, no matter how many methods those 3 had, they wouldn't be able to use them.
He couldn't help but smile, "Sure! However, to hire my sect's disciples, the price isn't cheap. "
Zong Shou didn't speak, directly taking out another bag. Long Ruo's eyes swept and saw that within it were 200 grade 6 beast crystals.
Although the price of beast crystals had depreciated by 10 times. However, it was still a huge sum of money. He immediately nodded his head slightly, "Deal! Half a day later, I will send 40 Soaring Cloud Sect disciples onto the ship. However, they will only help you hunt beasts. If you face life threatening danger, you can choose to stay or leave. "
The faces of the people behind Zong Shou were filled with joy and worry. They were happy because Zong Shou's methods were really smart. Using the strength of the Soaring Cloud Sect disciples, they could reduce the threat of the 4 thousand cloud ships by half. They were worried because before they even entered the Cloud Sea, they had already lost 300 grade 6 beast crystals.
Who knows if they could earn it back this time?
After discussing the important matters, Zong Shou didn't say any more nonsense, directly taking his leave. However, when he left, Long Ruo suddenly said to Xuanyuan Yiren, "Is this junior sister Xuanyuan? I am good friends with senior brother Han Nishui of Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect. I've heard about the two of you. The marriage between the two of you is of great importance. Junior Sister Xuanyuan, please consider it carefully! "
Xuanyuan Yiren's brows instantly furrowed. Zong Shou's face sunk slightly, his good impression of Long Ruo instantly disappearing. He thought to himself, why was this person so troublesome?
However, he wasn't willing to bother and directly walked out. If it wasn't for him remembering the 12 God Talisman seeds and the Cloud Shocking God Destroying sword intent, he would go all out to fight with Long Ruo today.
At this moment, be it Zhao Yanran or Xuan Yunlan, their expressions were really ugly.
The 2 of them had long known about junior sister Xuanyuan's marriage dispute. Long Ruo's words could be seen as a humiliation and provocation to their entire Cang Shengdao 3 sects and 6 schools!
Zong Shou as the 2nd generation direct disciple of Cang Shengdao, his identity was several generations higher than the various sect leaders of the 3 sects and 6 schools! The true core.
What was that Han Nishui? What was the identity of this Long Ruo to dare to interfere in this matter?
Even if the 2 of them didn't like Zong Shou, when they faced such a matter, they had to help.
Zhao Yanran nearly drew her sword on the spot but was stopped by Lei Dong in time. She directly scoffed, "I think senior brother Long should be careful when you speak. Don't cause a sect wiping out calamity for your Lingyun Sect! "
After saying that, she walked out of the door with a serious face.
The people following Zong Shou all had ugly expressions on their faces. However, at this moment, since Zong Shou didn't flare up, he couldn't forcefully come out and could only leave silently.
Lei Dong beside also sighed and stood up, "Brother Long, you have always been smart. However, today's matter will make you regret it for the rest of your life! Like what that little girl Yanran said, you should be careful with your words and actions in the future. It wasn't easy for your Lingyun Sect to be established in Donglin and have ten thousand years of legacy … "
Long Ruo was slightly shocked. He didn't care about Zhao Yanran's words.
However, Lei Dong who was also from the righteous path had to care about it. His tone was filled with surprise, "Brother Lei, what is the reason for this Zong Shou to be so heavily protected by you? Has this kid already entered Taiyuan Sect? "
Even if he entered Taiyuan Sect, he didn't care much. With Zong Shou's situation, he definitely wouldn't be able to have much achievements. Maybe at this moment, the person who accepted Zong Shou in Taiyuan Sect still didn't know that Zong Shou's soul was broken and he had barriers from heaven.
Lei Dong was speechless, thinking to himself that Zong Shou's identity was much higher than his. However, it was limited to the trade between the Kenzō Sect and Cang Shengdao. At least for these few years, the Kenzō Sect had to keep it a secret.
"As for the matter of my sworn brother, I can't talk about it in detail. However, I have something to tell you today. If your Lingyun Sect and Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect want to harm my brother or sister-in-law, then I will fight you. I, Lei Dong, will go all out to fight … "
The moment he said that, Lei Dong didn't stay any longer, directly walking out of the building.
Only leaving Long Ruo with a face filled with confusion. His intuition told him that Zong Shou's situation wasn't as simple as it looked on the surface.
Walking on the streets, Zong Shou held Xuanyuan Yiren's hand. After walking a few steps, he took in a deep breath and calmed himself down. He was still furious, but at least he wasn't filled with rage anymore, wanting to pull out his sword to kill.
As for Lei Dong and Zhao Yanran, they followed behind. The latter didn't say a word, but Lei Dong smiled and chatted with him about the past. He was filled with grievances about the few jugs of wine that Zong Shou had extorted from him last time. In the end, he sighed, "What I regret the most in my life is that I wasn't able to get brother Shou to join my Wujue Villa. The Sword Venerable is wise, but he is definitely wrong about this matter. "
Zong Shou smiled, it wasn't worth a word. Lei Dong didn't say much, his expression was filled with melancholy, "Speaking of which, we are brothers. After becoming sworn brothers, we actually didn't have a chance to gather and drink a cup. Originally, I was free after everything ended. However, I need to rush back to see Miss Zhenru, so I won't accompany you. If we have a chance to meet in the future … "
His eyes were filled with joy and eagerness. He pretty much left right away, instructing some things before hurriedly leaving.
Sōmorime sent this cheap big brother away, following which he glanced at Zhao Yanran.
Although he didn't make a sound, his eyes were talking. Why aren't you leaving? Are you obstructing things here?
Zhao Yanran was exasperated, embarrassed and angry. After a short while, she opened her mouth helplessly, "Do you think I am willing to be with you? Senior master instructed me to follow you and protect you. Also, master said that he wanted me to use the reverse seed cauldron technique on your body … "
Zong Shou was stunned before he came back to his senses.
The seed cauldron was a common cultivation method of the Seven Spirit Sect. The cultivation speed of the disciples in the sect wasn't obvious at the start. However, once they found a suitable cauldron to help refine their own seed, their cultivation would instantly soar.
As for the reverse seed cauldron, it was as the name suggested. It used the seed of the caster to strengthen the cauldron.
Naturally, the female disciples of the Seven Spirit Sect wouldn't sacrifice themselves to help others and gain nothing. The strengthening of the cauldron could also nourish the seed, it was a win-win cultivation path. It was different from the seed cauldron that swept across the essence energy of others.
However, the requirements for the cauldron were several times higher. If not, not only would there be no benefits, but it would also drag down the cultivation of both sides.
It was obvious that Zhao Yanran's master felt that Zong Shou could be such a cauldron.
With Zhao Yanran's little cultivation, Zong Shou didn't care about her anymore. What following and protecting, this reverse seed cauldron technique was the most important thing.
However, to him, it wasn't a problem. This technique was exquisite and didn't need to go to bed to dual cultivate.
Moreover, the reverse seed cauldron technique would be of huge help to him. He directly smiled, "You have to ask my Yiren first. Apart from that, do you know? After the reverse seed cauldron, if Zhao Yanran has feelings of attachment to me, Zong Shou, your life will be in my hands. Your life and death in the future will be in my hands. Is this a great inner demon? "
"I know, what do I have to fear?"
Zhao Yanran's brows rose up in provocation. Then, she looked towards Xuanyuan Yiren who was filled with anticipation. However, in the end, she couldn't say anything to beg. Her brows furrowed as she directly threw a bag to Zong Shou, "This is my seed seed, do you want it or not …"
After saying that, she left like she was escaping. Zong Shou laughed behind her, his mood suddenly much better. (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.)
