Cloud Saint City, within the reading room of the city lord's manor.
A piece of cloud pattern snow paper was spread out on the table. Xu Zhengyuan's body was slightly bent, using his left hand to hold a brush, splashing ink as he focused on writing.
A moment later, a huge 'endure' word appeared on the paper.
When this word was completed, Xu Zhengyuan was delighted as he looked at his left arm.
Strength seeping through the back of the paper, it was completed in one breath, not trembling at all. It seemed like this hand had totally recovered and there were no more hidden problems.
Half a year ago, he had stepped into the Xuanwu ancestor realm.
This also meant that not only had he recovered his strength, but he had also reached a new level!
… Since the withering sword energy in his arm was chased out, during these days, his cultivation had increased. Like it was compensating for these ten over years of emptiness, it improved by leaps and bounds, close to explosive growth.
Seven meridians were already there, eight meridians weren't far away.
Just as he was deep in thought, the door to the reading room was suddenly pushed open. The manager of the manor, Liancheng, strode in. Like something had happened just now, his face was filled with a weird expression.
Xu Zhengyuan turned around, feeling slightly surprised. Looking closely at his expression, the glow in his eyes exploded, "Is there an outcome to the battle over at Gantian Mountain?"
He thought to himself that it was really quick. He originally thought that Zong Shou would need at least a month to deal with Xiong Ba and Feng Nu.
These 2 people weren't easy to deal with. If one of them didn't handle it well, there was even a chance that the other party could turn the situation around.
"That's right!"
After Liancheng walked close, he bowed and looked at the words on the table. He only felt that the 'endure' word was like a sharp knife stabbing right into his heart.
His brows furrowed slightly before he instantly calmed down, "After his highness crushed Yuntao City, he only led 20 thousand elite cavalry to Huling Hill. He sent Zong Yuan and Heli to lead the elite cavalry to charge behind the enemy and burn down Gushan City. I heard that that place was where Yunxia Mountain City truly stored grain. "
Xu Zhengyuan didn't understand at first, but when he heard the last sentence, his eyes lit up, "His highness really has sharp eyes. Using the Pei river channel as bait to ambush the Gantian Mountain navy. That Feng Nu also lives up to his name. If it was other people, they would have fallen for it! "
"That's right! After investigating, I found out that Yunxia and Blazing Flame had 200 energy destroying crossbows on both sides of the river … "
Lian Cheng also sighed. Both sides had exchanged a few blows, but it was somewhat dazzling.
He also broke out in a cold sweat for Zong Shou as well as the Gantian Mountain situation.
"At noon that day, the three cities made peace at Huling Hill. Feng Nu and Xiong Ba were forced to sign the treaty. Gantian Mountain regained the land they lost a few months ago, forcing Yunxia and Blazing Flame City to each give up half a province of land. The current Gantian Mountain already occupied 12 provinces. Not only have they recovered, but they are also far stronger than when Zong Weiran was here … "
As he spoke to this point, Liancheng's face revealed a look of fascination. "Looking at His Highness's numerous victories, when he broke into the three provinces of the Huanlong Empire, he was as fast as lightning, not giving Taoyun City any time to react. In the battle of Huling Hill, he had attacked the crucial point again. Everyone said that Zong Yuan was an unparalleled general. However, in my eyes, in terms of using troops, this Purple Lightning Spear is far from His Highness. "
Xu Zhengyuan broke out into a laugh. Other people didn't believe that Zong Shou had such ability. They would push all the credit to his men. However, the two of them were clear that His Highness was the teen hero who hid his true strength.
Following which his expression turned serious, only to hear Liancheng continue. "At that time, Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect Han Nishui was also there. I heard that he represented the various sects to mediate the battle. In the end, His Highness didn't give him any face at all. Not only did he not care, but he also insulted him, causing him to lose all face. He directly forced Feng Nu and Xiong Ba to cut off their arms as an apology … "
"Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect, Han Nishui?"
Xu Zhengyuan muttered, following which he tossed aside the brush in his hand, laughing maniacally. "What a good His Highness. I didn't misjudge him. This news should be spread all over the world! Heh, with His Highness's ability and the strength of Gantian Mountain. Apart from using underhanded methods, what can these sects do to him? "
He shook his head. "I originally thought that His Highness might need to borrow the strength of Cang Shengdao to solve the problem. Who knew that His Highness was so talented, in just a few battles he caused the various sects to be unable to do anything. After this battle, His Highness has taken over 12 provinces, 25% of Donglin Cloud Continent. It wouldn't be a problem for him to establish a country and call himself king. That Long Ruo and the others only think that His Highness is easy to bully. I am looking forward more and more to the day when they find out that the person they look down on is Cang Shengdao's direct disciple. "
"His Highness's talent is something that no one in the same generation in Donglin Cloud Continent can compare to."
Liancheng was slightly worried. "However, during this period of time, looking at His Highness's personality and actions, he doesn't seem like someone who is ambitious and craves power. Maybe his Highness's ambition isn't there … "
Xu Zhengyuan's eyes squinted. Thinking back to the news that spread over from Gantian Mountain.
Apart from those government decrees that made one's eyes light up, Zong Shou pretty much didn't bother about administrative matters. Everything was left to his subordinates to manage, and he didn't promote many people he trusted.
It didn't seem like something an ambitious ruler would do. That cloud ocean hunt as well as using troops this time gave off a weird feeling.
It was too rushed! It was like he was in a hurry to solve everything so that he could totally let go of Gantian Mountain …
"It's okay!"
Thinking about that, Xu Zhengyuan smiled and didn't mind. "With His Highness's personality, if Gantian Mountain is in danger he won't sit still and not do anything. Since he has already succeeded the Monster King position, he has no choice. "
As he said that, he paused. "So on my side, it's time to make a move …"
Liancheng's brows furrowed, following which he wanted to say something but stopped. He wanted to persuade him but didn't know where to start.
"There's no need to worry, I know what I'm doing!"
Xu Zhengyuan knew what he meant, smiling as he asked, "Do you know why the sects know that Gantian Mountain is rising up, even if they build a dynasty it won't do them much harm? Why do they still want to go all out to suppress it?
Following which, without waiting for Liancheng to speak, Xu Zhengyuan picked up his brush once more. "It is because of personal interests. To the sects, there is no loss. However, these sect disciples all have their own families and their own interests. How can they allow others to occupy them? So I was too naive at the start. The same mistake, how would I, Xu Zhengyuan, make the same mistake twice? "
Liancheng kept silent. Since the city lord had made up his mind. Then no matter how he tried to persuade him, it was useless.
Actually, in his heart, he was looking forward to it.

Within the cloud ocean, on a lone reef above the cloud ocean, Long Ruo's hand reached out and grabbed a red swift bird beside him.
From the bamboo tube wrapped around his leg, he took out a roll of silk. In just a moment, Long Ruo's eyes were extremely dark and gloomy.
"Zong Shou!"
Softly spitting out this word, Long Ruo's eyes were complicated and indescribable.
Thinking about it deeply. This person didn't do anything wrong to him, but during these few months, this name seemed to have become his nightmare, unable to get rid of it.
Even like that, he was unable to do anything to this kid. Not only was he unable to kill him, but he also made this Zong Shou more and more arrogant …
Tianfang and Xiping provinces won 5 battles, he even took the initiative in the Huling Hill battle. This Zong Shou was actually so sharp when using troops.
At the start, he had really underestimated him.
The current situation was like a fishbone stuck in his throat and he had to spit it out. He also had a sense of urgency. If this continued, even if he wanted to suppress him in the future, he might not be able to do so.
Taking in a deep breath, Long Ruo casually tossed the item in his hand into the cloud ocean. Then, he was in deep thought.
Moments later, he heard a hearty laugh ring out behind him. "Senior brother Long is so focused, are you worried about the dragon gate matter?"
Long Ruo was shocked, looking back. "So it is junior brother Zu!"
The person behind him was Zu Renkuang. He couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. "I am a little worried. After all, the dragon gate image was left by a martial path saint. Who knows how much I can comprehend which is why I am worried! "
Zu Renkuang was slightly startled. In the past, the impression Long Ruo gave him was that he was confident and calm. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be like this.
However, he didn't think much about it, consoling him. "Spiritual cultivation and martial path, in the future, they will all return to the same place. Saint realm experts are already close to this realm. Senior brother Long this time. You will definitely gain something. Following which he smiled. Master said that we can set off 12 days later. Oh right, there is also a pair of juniors along with us, Yan Feibai and Ge Hanyun. Senior brother Long has heard of these 2 people? "
Long Ruo nodded his head slightly. These 2 people, one entered the sect for less than a year and entered the peak of martial ancestor, the other reached the night wandering 6 talisman realm. It was said that not long after entering the sect, they attacked and broke the Sky Sword Platform and Heaven Talisman Platform in the cloud palace, becoming direct disciples of the sect.
The 4 generations of the sect were all top talents in the entire sect.
How could he not have heard of such people?
Following which he thought back to Zong Shou. Although that Yan Feibai and Ge Hanyun were not bad.
However, to be able to break both platforms at the Bodily Chakra Realm, Zong Shou was the only one in the sect in the past ten thousand years!
"Oh right, there is one more thing that is really weird."
Zu Renkuang suddenly smiled. "This time there is one more person heading to the dragon gate. Senior brother, you definitely won't guess who that person is. It is that Zong Shou who obtained the right to enter from the outer sect. He didn't know who reported his name. I heard that your master and I were also shocked! He has a dual meridian body and has barriers from heaven. Who knows what he is going to do there … "
Long Ruo's eyes instantly constricted, the glow was shocking.

In the next two days, in the center of a large piece of land, there was a strange scene. 120 miles of giant city center, within the most luxurious palace.
An old man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe suddenly raised his white brows and looked at the report in his hand.
"Gantian Mountain, 6 battles 6 victories, conquering 7 provinces. Interesting! "
The old man said as he picked up the report and looked at it carefully. A moment later he said with interest, "This Gantian Mountain young master actually has no strength to fight back. Who would have thought that there would be such a young hero in this desolate land … " If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
