At this moment, although there were still 3 assassins within the building, all of them had Xuanwu cultivation. However, no one cared about them anymore. No one felt that the 3 of them were of any threat anymore.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yue Guanyun's corpse. There was mockery, pity, and disbelief. Their gazes were all extremely complicated!
Qiaohan was still in a daze, thinking to himself that the overlord who once ruled the west of the Cloud Continent for 20 years, the king of the west ocean, really died just like that? What a amusing way to die …
Not only was Qiaohan shocked, but the 4 city lords who didn't know what to do after the assassination started were also at a loss.
With Xuanshui City lord Luo Shui as the leader, the 4 of them suggested to change their subordinate cities to directly under them. There was actually another reason and they had no choice but to do so.
However, today they personally saw Zong Shou receive the sword with his bare hands and was totally unharmed. Moreover, the Taoyun City lord who had been famous for many years was killed in one sword. All of a sudden, they didn't know whether or not they should feel happy for themselves.
At that moment, they originally thought that Zong Shou was definitely going to die and they were regretting it in their hearts. However, a moment later, the situation took a turn for the worse, much to their surprise.
So their new Gantian Mountain lord, the young ruler. Apart from his strategy being outstanding and unparalleled scheming, even his martial path was so strong! So strong that Taoyun City lord Yue Guanyun who was Xuanwu grade 9 couldn't take one sword from Zong Shou.
Just now, Qiaohan said that it was some king path secret technique, they all knew about that. Borrowing the strength of a country, the strength of tens of thousands of troops. However, no matter what, that was Zong Shou's own ability!
Following which, the 4 of them were the same as Qiaohan, recalling those preposterous rumors. Now that they thought about it, there was a 90% chance that it was true!
This highness really hid his strength deeply, hiding his jewels. What was hidden in that thin and weak body was an unparalleled sharpness. The moment it appeared, it made one feel a chill down one's spine!
He had comprehended the King Path Secret Technique and his strength was several times stronger than Yue Guanyun. However, he didn't show it for dozens of years. To think that the new Monster King of Gantian was willing to lay low for such a long time!
Thinking about it carefully, this Taoyun City Lord was really laughable! Running over to assassinate him without even understanding the situation, wasn't this the same as running into Zong Shou's blade?
After killing Yue Guanyun, the blood within Zong Shou's body was still a little restless. Although it wasn't a big problem, the dual meridians were in conflict due to the sword energy attacks. A series of coughs came from his mouth, as if his heart and lungs were being torn apart. There was nothing he could do about it. He had to pay a price for using this person to test out a new method to defeat his enemies.
After a few breaths, he finally managed to recover. He did not pay attention to the other Xuanwu ancestors upstairs, allowing Zong Yuan and the others to deal with the killing. He walked slowly towards Lin Ji, who was still in a daze and could not believe that his master had died. His gaze turned cold as he slashed out with a sword light, directly beheading that person.
When the blood light splattered, Zong Shou didn't even bother to take a look. When the building totally calmed down, he gave out a self-mocking laugh, "Hiding my strength and biding my time, it seems like there are some benefits. This Yue Guanyun can be considered a huge problem for me. I was just worrying about not being able to solve it. Who knew that he would run in front of me himself … "
"Scoff! He is asking to die! To think that he was able to stand tall in Taoyun City for so many years and be called a hero by others. I have never seen such a dumb person with no eyes! "
Zhao Yanran opened her mouth in annoyance. Even when her tone was weird, her aura was still really alluring, "To think that you can still laugh. You knew that you could be assassinated, but you were still so careless and let them find a chance. You are also lucky. Although this person doesn't know King Path martial arts, he is good at formations. However, the thousand cloud ships under him were all destroyed. If not, the outcome of today's battle wouldn't have been decided. Forget it, I have no right to scold you. I only want to ask you, how should we deal with the aftermath? "
She finally remembered that even she was careless and didn't expect this assassination. Zhao Yanran's face flushed red.
Zong Shou mocked, wasn't the trouble today all because of you, Zhao Yanran? If you didn't randomly spread rumors, my name Zong Shou would have shocked the world. Why would there be so much trouble?
His brows furrowed and he took in a deep breath. A moment later, Zong Shou opened his mouth once more, "Yue Guanyun's assassination failed and he died in the hands of Zong Yuan. He deserved it. The other sects won't have anything to say …"
When Zong Yuan heard that, his lips twitched. He was going to be the scapegoat for his ruler again. He alone killed Yue Guanyun. Killing Yue Guanyun, who knows if others would believe it? His face didn't show anything as he nodded his head numbly.
Zong Shou looked towards Qiao Han. This was a problem. Did he have to kill him to silence him? This person was actually not bad.
In the blink of an eye, Zong Shou changed his mind. He thought to himself that he didn't need to hide the fact that he knew martial arts. As long as he didn't let people know that he was someone from the demon path and Cang Shengdao's disciple, it was okay.
Before Wei Xu left, he mentioned that there was still a month before the dragon gate would open and he would be able to view the martial saint's remnant images.
This was one of the few times before the spiritual wave that he could greatly increase his strength and comprehend martial intent. He definitely wouldn't miss it.
Thinking about that, Zong Shou smiled, a bright glow flashing in his eyes, "Forget it! Let's just say that this Yue Guanyun died in my hands! Hang these corpses out and let those people with bad intentions see that I, Zong Shou, am someone that can be bullied? Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. I really want to see their expressions now. "
When he said those words, Zong Shou's chest was filled with rage.
In the last life, no one was able to plot against him without paying a price. It was the same in this life!
That Lingyun Long Ruo really didn't want his Gantian Mountain City to grow. As for the other sects, he didn't know if it was because of the wealth in their hands or because of Yin Dragon Canyon Zong Weiran, but it seemed like they were jealous of him.
This time he was really pissed off!
Didn't they not want him to expand and not want him to occupy Yin Dragon Canyon? He wasn't going to let them have their wishes!
Qiao Han's heart was originally ice cold. Only when Zong Shou said those few words did he heave a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment he felt a chill strike him. For some reason, he only felt that there was a violent energy wrapping around Zong Shou's body. His eyes were slightly red, which made one's heart tremble.

Just a few miles away, within another building. Xiong Ba and Feng Nu sat opposite each other at a table.
In front of them were delicacies and celestial wine. At this moment, the 2 of them didn't bother about it. They just sat there quietly like they were waiting for some news.
Their expressions seemed really calm, but from their breathing and their tightly clenched fists, one could see that their emotions weren't as calm as they looked on the surface. Actually, they were filled with anxiousness.
Looking out of the window at the 7-story building a few miles away, Xiong Ba's brows furrowed. He was deep in thought as he filled his wine cup to the brim.
"Brother Feng, what do you think will happen when Yue Guanyun goes?"
Feng Nu's expression changed slightly as he came back to his senses from deep thought. Before replying, his eyes swept towards the Gantian Mountain ships.
"I think that Gu Liekong, Zhu Junhou, and Ling Fakong are still on the ship and haven't noticed anything. Without the 3 of them, no one beside Zong Shou is his opponent. Who knows, maybe at this moment Zong Shou has already died in his hands. Now, we just have to see whether or not he handles his actions cleanly … "
Xiong Ba's brows were still furrowed deeply. Although he drank the wine in his cup, he didn't know how it tasted.
"However, why do I feel that there might be another change this time? That Yue Guanyun's trip won't be so easy … "
When Feng Nu heard this, he was shocked in his heart. Earlier, an ominous feeling also surged up in his heart. He felt that this carefully planned assassination might not succeed smoothly.
Who knows whether or not it was because this matter was really important …
Unfortunately, the Kongqi Pavilion seemed open on all sides. Actually, there were spiritual formations within and restrictions were really tight. Normal cultivators below grade 7 had no way to know what was going on within.
"How is that possible?"
Breaking out into a laugh, Feng Nu tossed aside all the random thoughts, directly changing the topic, "This time Yue Guanyun went alone, I feel that I have let him down. That Zong Shou's life and death isn't his Taoyun City's problem alone. "
"Although it isn't his problem alone, if this Zong Shou returns, the one with the greatest losses would be his Taoyun City!"
Xiong Ba laughed coldly to himself. If one said that Feng Nu felt guilty, he would be the first to not believe it. He was just crying crocodile tears.
"Moreover, if this Zong Shou dies, the one with the greatest benefits would still be Taoyun City. If he doesn't go, who will? "
After he said that, Xiong Ba felt much better, and the worry in his heart lessened.
It seemed like it was because he was too nervous. If that Zong Shou was there, Blazing Flame Mountain would at least lose a province of land. If it was more serious, they might even be wiped out.
However, if Zong Shou died, not only would this crisis be solved, but they would also be able to take advantage of the situation.
This kid's life and death concerned the situation in the west of Donglin, so how could he not care?
Just as he was thinking about how he should plot against these two opponents and how he should split Gantian Mountain City when the news spread over, he felt that it was too late. Xiong Ba suddenly heard a noise from afar. Xiong Ba was a little unhappy at first, but then when a few sentences entered his ears, his ears suddenly trembled.
In the next instance, Xiong Ba's body shot up. His 12 feet tall body was like a huge bird as he glided in the air.
In just a dozen jumps, he was already a few miles away. He stood still on another tall building, looking down from here, he could see the situation at the entrance of the Kongqi Pavilion.
A moment later, Xiong Ba's face turned ashen white.
… Only to see that in front of the pavilion, there were a few carriages and a few wooden frames. What he guessed before was that Yue Guanyun who should have killed Zong Shou long ago. At this moment, his body was broken into two and pinned onto a wooden frame. The other carriages also had a few corpses pinned onto them. (To be continued.
