"Continue to head south. Let's shake off the tail behind first."
Zong Shou said as he looked into the sky. Although there were thick cloud layers above this place. However, if a spirit master did something, they could push aside the cloud ocean at a specific time and use the stars above to determine the location.
Roughly identifying, Zong Shou pointed towards the southwest corner, "Head in that direction and keep going! The entire army can't use red swift bird talismans to send messages. Oh right, let people equip all the energy destroying crossbows. "
The people around weren't surprised at all. This place was the outer area of Hailing Plains. After the fleet chased over, they would definitely search all around. This region was indeed not a suitable place to hunt beasts.
Although there weren't many powers that came here to clear out Hailing Plains. The deeper one went, the more likely one would be surrounded by beast hordes, even grade 7 beasts.
However, with the 800 energy destroying crossbows and 300 sets of 3 arm spiritual crossbows that Zong Shou spent a year of Gantian Mountain's income. Within the fleet, there were Zhu Junhou, Gu Liekong, and Ling Fakong who were peak grade 6 experts. In times of danger, they could use secret techniques to borrow the strength of an army to reach grade 7 which was why they weren't worried.
Even that Jing Tao Zhenren didn't retort. Who knows if he had a way to escape or if he trusted the combat strength of Gantian Mountain and Xuan Mountain City.
Looking at his expression, it seemed like he was only slightly shocked that Zong Shou actually had 800 energy destroying crossbows in his hands.
Just as Jing Tao left the deck and returned to his room to cultivate. Zong Shou waved towards Gu Liekong and summoned him in front of him.
"Does commander Gu have a way to leave some clues for those fellows behind? It is best if it is accurate and let them catch up 5 days later? "
Gu Liekong's brows furrowed, looking at Zong Shou in disbelief.
It was with much difficulty that he used close to ten thousand fire lightning arrows to block the Taoyun and Blazing Flame City ships at Mofan Cave. It was time to quickly shake them off and find a hidden place to hunt beasts. However, Zong Shou wanted him to leave some clues so that the four thousand cloud ships behind could catch up.
If not for the fact that he had watched Zong Shou grow up, he would have died. He knew that the person in front of him was the true city lord of their Gantian Mountain City.
He almost thought that the new Demon King of his family had been replaced by someone else. He wanted to sell them to those bastards from Taoyun and Blazing Flame Yunxia.
Gu Liekong's eyes flashed. After a long while, he regained his calm. "This subject doesn't know what Ruler means, but this subject doesn't dare to disobey Ruler's orders! I only need to do a few things to lead the navy. Five days, sixty hours, not a moment more, not a minute less! "
Zong Shou nodded slightly, and then secretly made a hand gesture to the Cloudsoaring sect disciples in the distance.
Gu Liekong immediately understood, "We definitely won't let Jing Tao Zhenren know!"
Only then did Zong Shou smile in satisfaction. He liked such subjects, much more obedient than people like Renbo. Moreover, they were smart.
In the following time, Zong Shou decided not to return to his sleeping quarters. He spent all his time on the deck. He could also sit and meditate here, there was no difference.
Two days later, he could see a majestic giant mountain appear in his field of vision. It was hidden in the black mist, far away from the illumination range of the spirit master.
Only people like him who used spells to buff his eyesight could barely see the outline.
However, it was this blurry image that made Zong Shou clench his fists. He had finally arrived at this place!
He stood up from the throne that was specially made for him on the deck of the ship. Zong Shou strode to the head of the ship and looked out.
… Same! It was exactly the same as when he came here in the last life. However, this place was much safer than ten thousand years later.
Without experiencing the spiritual wave explosion, this place wasn't like the future, where grade 7 beasts were densely packed.
Below the cloud ships, there were at most grade 5 and 6 beasts and evil spirits. They had no way to deal with these cloud ships floating 3 thousand feet in the air.
Only some birds and demons that could fly could pose a threat to the fleet.
However, before they could even get close, they would be shot by numerous crossbows and die on the spot. The journey was completely smooth sailing.
Gu Liekong also noticed the giant mountain in the distance. He walked to the side of Zong Shou, frowning, "Ruler, I think this mountain range is really majestic and is hard to cross. It is best if we go around it."
Zong Shou shook his head and didn't reply. He once again tried to discern the direction. In just a moment, he pointed 30 degrees to the southwest, "Let's go that way!"
Gu Liekong was helpless, thinking that it was okay to delay for a moment. The mountain in front of him didn't seem to have anything special about it. He gave an order, causing the entire fleet, thousands of cloud ships to turn around.
However, just as the entire fleet had traveled about twenty miles forward, a voice suddenly rang out. Beast roars spread out from all around, as well as the sharp cries of those evil spirits and evil spirits.
It rose and fell, not stopping, each wave stronger than the last. The deeper they went, the louder the roars.
A moment later, not only the entire fleet, but the thousands of cloud ships were in an uproar. Even Jing Tao who was cultivating in his room was startled and returned to the deck. Injecting spiritual energy into his eyes, he looked around. Front, back, left, right, there were cries all around. He could also see numerous giant beasts hidden in the mist. They were surrounded by these beasts and evil spirits.
"This is a beast wave?"
After confirming it, Jing Tao instantly sucked in a cold breath, his face ashen white. He couldn't maintain the coldness from before, furiously questioning Zong Shou, "City lord Zong, please give me an explanation!"
Just now, he had roughly taken a look and noticed close to ten thousand grade 6 beasts. Who knows how many grade 5 and below beasts there were. Such a scale of beast wave probably wouldn't lack grade 7 beasts.
… Being surrounded, even with the secret treasure they brought this time, they wouldn't be able to easily escape.
If it wasn't for the 800 energy destroying crossbows and the fleet not being in danger, he would have immediately led the many Lingyun disciples and left.
"Zhenren please calm down!"
Zong Shou turned his head and signaled for Gu Liekong to continue. Following which he frowned, considering his words, "Have you heard of beast tombs?"
"Beast tomb?"
Jing Tao muttered, his eyes deep in thought, "I heard of it before, the place where high grade beasts are buried! Legend has it that under the cloud ocean, those beasts with intelligence aren't willing to let their corpses and beast crystals be eaten by other beasts. They aren't willing to let evil beings steal their vital energy. Which is why before they die, they would choose some special areas to wait for death. After a long time, 9 of them formed the beast tomb. All of them are extremely dangerous places. Not only would many beasts be attracted by the beast crystals buried within, but even those evil beings wouldn't be able to leave. "
"Zhenren is really knowledgeable! There is such a beast tomb in front of us. "
The entire deck was silent. Following which numerous curious gazes looked over. Zong Shou was helpless, he knew that this would be the case. This matter was too shocking. No matter how close people were to him, they would definitely ask about it.
Originally, the place he chose wasn't this place. It was another place where he could hunt large amounts of spirit beasts. In just a month, his profits could reach millions of grade 4 beast crystals. Only because of Yue Guanyun and the others did he change his mind.
Naturally, at this moment, he needed an explanation to clear up everyone's doubts.
Hesitating for a moment, Zong Shou gave out a bitter laugh, "If an elder told me that there are numerous beast corpses here, would you believe me?" I don't know if you believe me or not. "He wasn't lying. He had indeed learned about this place from an 'elder'. However, this person had died 7,000 years ago and recorded this place in a book. At that time, this beast tomb had already been completely emptied by others.
When he said that, the surrounding people all had different expressions. The first person Jing Tao Zhenren thought of was Zong Weiran who had reached the ascended realm a few years ago and even entered the cloud ocean alone. As for Zhao Yanran and Xuanyuan Yiren who knew that Zong Shou had already joined Cang Shengdao, the person who flashed in their minds was Wei Xu.
As for Hu Zhongyuan and the others, they were totally confused. However, they all knew that Zong Shou wouldn't purposely send them to their deaths.
Jing Tao Zhenren hesitated slightly and looked around once more. Looking closely, as expected, it was different from normal beast waves.
Nearby, there were large amounts of evil beings, not below elite beasts, fighting and killing one another. These beasts and evil beings didn't seem to be controlled by high grade elite beasts and evil spirits. They were just instinctively wary of their fleet.
He couldn't help but believe 70% of it. As expected, this situation was similar to the beast tomb in the legends.
Following which he heard Zong Shou say with a weird tone, "If you don't believe me, you can rush back. Zong Shou won't stop you."
Jing Tao's eyes constricted once more. Looking closely at Zong Shou, his face was filled with a cold smile.
Using the strength of Lingyun Sect to cause Yue Guanyun and Xiong Ba to hesitate and not dare to attack. He also used fire lightning arrows at Mofan Cave to shake off the 4,000 cloud ships behind.
He had finally experienced the methods of this prince. As expected from the rumors, although he couldn't cultivate, he was really smart. His strategy and strategy were all at the top.
However, this kid wanted them to leave at such a time. What was his intention?
Was he burning the bridge after crossing the river and planning to swallow all these beast crystals? That wasn't right. If he had such intentions, then he shouldn't have told him that there was a beast tomb here.
Hesitating slightly, Jing Tao shook his head, "Since my Lingyun Sect has received the deposit from the city lord, then there is no reason for us not to try our best. How can we abandon the city lord now? No matter if it is a beast tomb or not, it is okay to enter and take a look. "
Zong Shou laughed, mocking in his heart. His face didn't show any abnormalities, only ordering all the cloud ships to head forwards.
As expected, after several miles, they could see the ground 3 thousand feet below. Hundreds and thousands of elite beast corpses were spread out all around. There was also large amounts of yin energy spreading all about. (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.)
