The entrance of Kongqi Sect was in an uproar as they discussed. More and more people gathered around this place.
"… Isn't this person Taoyun City lord Yue Guanyun? Did I see wrongly? "
"Looking at his appearance, I have seen him from afar. How did he die here? "
"It is definitely Yue Guanyun. I heard that he tried to assassinate Gantian Mountain City lord Zong Shou but failed and was killed on the spot. Kongqi Sect outer sect deacon Qiao Han was there as a witness. He purposely hung his corpse here as a warning … "
Within the crowd, there was a slight change in aura. Then, the voices became chaotic and one couldn't hear clearly.
"So it really is him! Most probably he couldn't beat Gantian Mountain so he tried to assassinate. I don't know who killed him. Why is he so miserable? "
"Hei! It seems like the situation is really going to change. Under Donglin, one side is going to be the only one. That Gantian Mountain monster king, I thought that he took over at a young age and the foundations that Zong Weiran left wouldn't last for many years. Who knew that this kid would have such skills! Such a person, even if he doesn't have the strength to fight a chicken, he is still a terrifying person! "
"This Yue Guanyun was the overlord of a generation and he died just like that? Who knows who killed him … "
Xiong Ba only felt his limbs turn cold, he didn't pay attention to the words of the people behind him. He exchanged glances with Feng Nu who was faster than him and had rushed over before him. He could clearly feel the coldness in his heart.
With Yue Guanyun's death, the entire Taoyun City had no one to take charge. Wouldn't Zong Shou be even more unrestrained and unable to be cured?
He was shocked. Yue Guanyun was at the peak of the earth chakra level, not far from the ascended realm. Who was by Zong Shou's side to have such ability? To be able to kill him on the spot without being able to retreat? The few Xuanwu ancestors that the 3 cities sent over to participate didn't even survive?
Thinking about it, Xiong Ba looked around. Only to see that there were tens of people standing still nearby, looking at the wooden frames on the carriages.
He recognized a few of them. Demon Cloud Sect was in charge of Psychic Island and it was this person who had given them a spirit master death warrior. He was about to pass away, so he wasn't afraid of death. There were also the Xue family, the Mysterious Cloud Sect, the Xuansu Sect, the Daoming Sect, the Demon Flag Sect, the Hidden Sword Manor, and the Deacon who often gave him benefits and tried to win him over. They were either frowning in silence or looking worried, but their faces were all pale and unsightly.
Following which, Xiong Ba's heart shook and a sense of danger rose up in his heart. His eyes instinctively looked towards the entrance of the Kongqi Sect.
Only Zong Shou was walking out of the door. His icy cold eyes were looking right at him and Feng Nu, and that undisguised cold killing intent was practically able to completely freeze him …
In his heart, he knew that after today, this young man's name would spread throughout the three mountains and five peaks. Everyone under the heavens would know.
He was only fourteen years old, but he was already the overlord of a country!
※ ※ ※
At this moment, a few hundred li away, there was a small boat gliding above the sea of clouds. It didn't have the huge body of the cloud ships, but it was tens of times faster when it glided within the cloud ocean.
Sitting at the bow of the boat was Long Ruo, who didn't use much spiritual energy. He just released his soul to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and naturally there was a suitable wind force which caused this small boat to swiftly travel in the air.
In front of him was Jing Tao Zhenren who had separated from Zong Shou not long ago.
"Speaking of which, he most probably made plans before entering the beast tomb to lure you in?"
Seeing Jing Tao nod his head, Long Ruo instantly broke out into a laugh, "What a cunning kid! It seems like I can't blame senior master for this matter. This kid's plans are exquisite, directly targeting one's heart. If it was anyone else, they would have fallen for it and had no choice. Even I was schemed against by him. I thought that he hired my sect disciples to board and I was really worried that the 3 cities would attack them … "
"Actually, although this kid is really scheming, his personality is not bad and he is really kind. Moreover, our Lingyun Sect's gains this time aren't small! "
Although he was used by Zong Shou, Jing Tao still had a good impression of him. Especially when before he got off the boat, Zong Shou personally gifted him some corpse harboring pinnacle sword grass as an apology, which made him really touched.
This teen was still a good kid, but as a city lord, sometimes he had no choice and had no choice.
Spending 20 days with him, he had a certain feeling. This Zong Shou was actually really indifferent to power and didn't have much ambition, like he had other goals.
Suddenly his heart moved. Jing Tao raised his head and stared at Long Ruo with a burning gaze, "Didn't junior nephew Long say that you want to observe the meteor falling 10 days later on Psychic Island to comprehend the sword intent? Today you left so early, what is your intention? "
Long Ruo still sat upright, not intending to hide anything as he said expressionlessly, "If I didn't leave early, those people would be worried about our Lingyun Sect. How would they dare to attack that Zong Shou?"
Jing Tao only felt a chill in his heart, his brows furrowing, "Gantian Mountain returned with a huge haul, their power will definitely swell. However, in my eyes, at most they will recover to when Zong Weiran was still alive. Even if our sect doesn't act, the other sects will think of ways to break it apart. That Zong Shou has no cultivation and anyone in the sect can kill him. Why does junior nephew Long have to see him as an enemy? Junior nephew's prejudice against that Zong Shou is so deep? I know that in the past you forced him into the sect. Why do you need to do that? If this kid is an outer sect disciple, then Gantian Mountain can be our wings … "
"Senior master Jing Tao, please be careful with your words!"
Long Ruo finally showed some rage, like the weak spot in his heart was suddenly stabbed. He was instantly furious. Only a moment later did he forcefully suppress the rage in his heart.
"Xuanyuan Tong has already ascended and only has a year to deal with normal matters. He is about to step down. As for the Xuan Mountain City lord position, if nothing goes wrong, it will be Zong Shou. Do you know how much land Gantian Mountain will have under its rule? I think senior master you are the one who is obsessed with that Zong Shou! If this kid doesn't die, our Lingyun won't be at ease! "
Jing Tao was instantly furious, those few words of scolding made him even more annoyed. However, due to Long Ruo's direct disciple identity, he couldn't do anything.
How would he not know? Xuan Mountain City was slightly weaker, but it still had 3 provinces. If this kid took over as the Xuan Mountain City lord, Gantian Mountain's power would expand. It would be the same as one-fifth of Donglin Cloud Continent being in their hands!
The foundations of a dynasty were rising in the west of Donglin.
However, even if Zong Shou could unify Donglin, how much influence would it have on Lingyun Sect? Lingyun Sect was above the normal world. When the few dynasties in Donglin were at their peak, they weren't able to affect the survival of Lingyun Sect. As long as they were skilled, they could even rely on them.
Today, those few generations of royal families had already disappeared, but Lingyun Sect still existed in the world.
What if this kid doesn't die, Lingyun won't be at ease? What a preposterous theory …
"This Zong Shou is a little different!"
Long Ruo's brows furrowed tightly, but he couldn't say why. He only instinctively wasn't willing to see this kid have higher achievements.
Since he knew that after he rejected this Zong Shou, not only did he not go silent, but he was doing so well, his days were really good. In his heart, he was more and more disgusted, more and more he rejected him.
If this kid really unifies Donglin one day, then what would he be?
He was shocked in his heart and knew that his Dao Heart had fallen into a demonic barrier.
Long Ruo's brows furrowed and he didn't speak. A moment later, he calmed himself down. The demon barrier was because of this Zong Shou. Wiping this kid out was the easiest and fastest way.
From now on, he naturally didn't need to care.
"Senior master doesn't need to care about this matter! I heard that senior master obtained many corpse harboring pinnacle sword grass. Why don't you return early and go into secluded meditation to break through? "
Jing Tao's chest rose and fell intensely. He wasn't angry and instead smiled, "Forget it, I won't care about this matter anymore! However, I think that teen is indiscernible and not as simple as he looks. You might not be able to do as you wish … "
"I said before that senior master doesn't need to worry about it!"
Just as he said that, a golden talisman sped through the air. Looking at where it came from. It came from the direction of Psychic Island.
Long Ruo casually took it. When it entered his hand, his body shook slightly. His originally gloomy eyes became even more sinister at this moment.
Jing Tao Zhenren glanced at it, only to see that it roughly had the words "Zong Shou isn't dead … Yue Guanyun is dead … Hanging corpse for public display". He instantly laughed out loud, "This is the outcome you want? Forget it, Long Ruo you take care of yourself. Let's just hope that in the future you don't cause trouble for our sect! This kid's intelligence was really deep, something Jing Tao rarely saw in his life. He really couldn't see through him. If one day he wants to take revenge, it would be something our Lingyun Sect wouldn't be able to take! I advise you to either mend your relationship with him or go all out to kill him … "
After saying that, Jing Tao wasn't willing to be on the same boat as Long Ruo. He directly stepped on the spiritual sword that he got from the beast tomb, riding the sword and heading in another direction.
"I see that your heart is already filled with demons and you are worried. I hope that your trip to the Dragon Gathering Mountain dragon gate won't disgrace the name of our Lingyun Sect! "
Long Ruo's expression didn't change, sitting on the spot and not bothering about Jing Tao's words. Even if the wind calmed down and the light boat stopped, he still didn't bother.
This time he really miscalculated.
His eyelids raised as he looked towards Psychic Island. Ten months ago, when he first met Zong Shou, he was shocked. That kid was still in a dangerous situation and was fleeing for his life.
A few years later, this Zong Shou had jumped over and became the ruler of the west of the Cloud Continent.
A mistake in his thoughts caused such a talent to be left out of his door. After today, within the sect, there would be many voices of blame. This matter concerned the fight for the future sect leader position, it wasn't like he didn't have any opponents in the sect.
Who was it that helped that Zong Shou kill Yue Guanyun?
Why were Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan so close to him? They even didn't mind saying that he would cause a sect wiping out calamity? Even Lei Dong had high hopes for that Zong Shou …
He suddenly thought back to the marriage between Han Nishui and Xuanyuan Yiren. It seemed like this matter could be done. (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.)
