Yue Linghuan's expression was dark and sunken. How was he just trash? He was also in the clouds, able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the top young generation people of the cloud world, even above them!
If such a character was still considered trash, then what was he, Yue Linghuan, considered?
His brows furrowed tightly, thinking back to the situation just now, he felt that the situation wasn't right.
Thinking about that, Yue Linghuan's face swelled up to a purple-red color, feeling extremely ashamed.
At that time, Zong Shou's killing intent was like a physical form. Like in the next instance, he could instantly kill him on the spot.
It made him unable to calm down to judge Zong Shou's situation. Thinking back to it now. Only then did he notice that there were some mysteries within.
"Did city lord notice that Zong Shou at that time was actually strong on the outside but weak on the inside?"
The silver armored grey haired old man observed his expression and asked. Seeing Yue Linghuan look over in shock, he sighed, "Actually when he left, I noticed something. However, from what I saw, he still had some strength left. Along with him being shocked, he lost all his fighting spirit. He didn't have any confidence at all, not even having the courage to turn around and exchange blows with him. So city lord, you don't need to feel ashamed. This person is one of the most terrifying people below grade 7 that I have seen in my life, grasping sword intent and fist intent. Below the ascended realm, he is close to invincible … "
Yue Linghuan's expression cleared up. What he couldn't tolerate the most was his own cowardice, retreating without fighting. He had a great chance to kill Zong Shou, but because of his cowardice, he missed it.
Just at this moment, Yue Linghuan's eyelids suddenly rose up, only to see a stumbling person suddenly charge into his field of vision from the fork in the road ahead.
She was dressed in white, her body petite. Her left arm was missing an arm, badly mangled.
"Xiong Yu?"
Yue Linghuan was startled as he looked at this woman. Her face was ashen grey, looking extremely haggard. She didn't have the smile from before. Her elegant and refined aura was also gone.
After looking at him, that Xiong Yu frowned, but she didn't come over. She directly walked to the other side, her body stumbling as she left.
"City Lord, do we need to invite her over?" A Spirit Master at the side squinted his eyes and bent over to ask. The rest of the people also had dangerous glints in their eyes.
Yue Linghuan was also moved, but then he shook his head slightly: "No need, you all know the rules of the Flame Bear Clan. Xiong Ba was still here, so even if he controlled her, it was useless. Our biggest enemy is still Zong Shou … "
He said with a dark and sunken face, "What I am more concerned about is the person beside her. The seven Xuanwu ancestors and two Return to Sun spirit masters. No one followed him! "
Only then did the surrounding people come to their senses. They instantly sucked in a breath of cold air, and their expressions changed indeterminately.
Xiong Yu was heavily injured and fled alone. The others were nowhere to be seen. There was only one possibility — those Type 6 powerhouses had already fallen at the hands of Zong Shou!
But how long had it been since they left?
At this moment, even the silver-armored expert didn't dare to confirm it. When Zong Shou forced them to leave, was he really strong on the outside but weak on the inside?
※ ※ ※
He searched nearby for Zong Yuan and Gong Yue but to no avail. Zong Shou could only give up and continue to head towards the core of the maze, where the hall was.
When they arrived, the stone room that was three hundred feet in circumference was already sparsely populated. There were only about a hundred people in it. The rest of the people had probably gone to other places.
There were also twenty six diagrams on the two sides of the cave. However, they weren't murals or anything, but some dots of different sizes that were densely carved on the stone walls.
At first glance, it looked like a star pattern, but upon closer inspection, it looked like However, if one looked closely, these dots had no connection with the stars in the sky.
If one had no comprehension of the martial path or hadn't been to the first seven caves, they would be totally confused and not know what was going on.
Zong Shou only felt his eyes light up. These dots were like a link, like a core, connecting those murals, sword marks, incomplete sword techniques, as well as the mysteries hidden in the other four areas, forming a close to complete sword intent.
Out of the twenty six diagrams, only eighteen were real. Between them, they weren't totally unrelated. This was because they themselves had many flaws. They needed to use other diagrams to complete the true sword technique.
"So that's the case. No wonder that person said that one needs to understand a small portion of the diagrams to learn a sword technique and comprehend a sword intent …"
Zong Shoxin was enlightened, smiling slightly, "True dragon sword intent?"
His index and middle fingers joined together and made a slight gesture. A martial path intent that was similar to the maniac lightning sword intent instantly spread out from his body.
This was the lightning dragon sword …
To a martial cultivator, once one comprehended the strength of the martial path to the peak, one could enter the ascended realm. After comprehending the martial path intent, stepping from ascended ancestor to grandmaster was just a matter of time.
And at this very moment, the Sword Intent that countless Martial Cultivators yearned for even in their dreams was easily displayed by him.
Actually, what these diagrams contained was only limited to the strength of the martial path. There was even a small portion that was missing. Zong Shou relied on his martial path attainments and the tens of sword intents that he grasped in his last life to push this lightning dragon sword to the 'intent' level!
The people around were originally comprehending the diagrams. At this moment, they all sensed something and looked over. Their eyes were filled with shock. When they came back to their senses, they were filled with envy and jealousy.
Apart from the people who knew Zong Shou, no one cared about his age. In this world, there were many secret techniques to maintain one's looks.
"If the nine types of true dragon sword intents are like that, then what about the legendary 10th-grade, Saint Spirit Level 99 Long Ying Sword Technique? Is it really hidden within those patterns? "
Zong Shou looked up, only to see that it was a grey-white color, there weren't any special patterns.
However, above it. It looked smooth, but if one looked carefully, one could see a few protrusions. Not more, not less, just nice nine.
When this scene entered his eyes, Zong Shou's mind exploded.
Within the seven caves, the different patterns intersected and intersected in his mind, entangling with one another.
It was a mess, but when those nine dots were spread out, there was a pattern. The chaos stopped, just by slightly sorting it out, there were some diagrams.
"It is actually the 9th-grade Long Ying Sword, as expected …"
If it wasn't for this place not being a good place, he wouldn't want the people around to look at him and treat him as a lunatic. Zong Shou wanted to immediately laugh out loud, only then did he feel refreshed.
All the mysteries were solved, along with the nine caves when he entered, the nine dragon gates at the bottom of Dragon Gathering Mountain. The patterns and changes of the entire maze were all within his grasp.
"This sword technique should be lacking a little. That Long Ying old man loves the nine words. Within this maze, there should be a ninth stone room and it should be the most crucial one! As expected, the three entrances into the inner sect that Jin Buhui mentioned should be within … "
His mind was crazily calculating and deducing. Zong Shou's heart suddenly moved. He held the map that he found from Xue Shuifan in his hand and looked carefully at the top left.
Then, his expression became really weird.
This picture was actually real — —
A hundred years later, naturally there would be some changes. However, a hundred years ago, the maze over there was mostly like this!
Zong Shoxin felt really weird, what were these people doing?
He didn't think much about it, Zong Shou kept it. Taking large strides towards a cave on the left.
Although this maze was huge, Zong Shou knew this place like the back of his hand. In just 15 minutes, he arrived at the area marked on the map, which was the southeast side of the maze.
Based on Xue Shuifan's map, there should be an entrance nearby that directly led to the ninth stone room. The nine drops of true dragon blood were hidden nearby.
However, when Zong Shou arrived, he didn't find anything. In all directions, it was a dead end, and there was nothing suspicious about it.
He bumped into many suspicious people who were in groups of three to five like they were also searching for something. Their eyes were vicious as they sized up Zong Shou. However, when they noticed that Zong Shou had no internal energy or soul power, they didn't care anymore. Their faces were filled with shock and mocking intent.
Zong Shou pretty much looked at all the nearby caves. In the end, he stopped in front of a narrow cave.
This was a dead end and it wasn't very deep. One could see everything at the entrance.
At this moment, there was no one here.
Looking at the bare stone wall in front of him. A weird feeling rose up in Zong Shou's heart.
Based on his deductions, the entrance should be here. However, be it what he saw with his eyes, what he sensed with his soul, or what his aura touched. They were clearly telling him that this place was a dead end.
"This Long Ying old man, he doesn't seem like a good person. Why are there so many twists and turns?"
Cursing out in his heart, Zong Shou took in a deep breath and closed his eyes. Based on his deductions, he walked straight ahead.
First, he took twelve steps forward and then walked straight to the right. In his memory, this place was already a stone wall.
Zong Shou resisted the urge to open his eyes, forgetting all his memories of this stone wall. He still took a step forward. Then, he felt a giant green dragon roaring at him in his head. It opened its bloody mouth and bit towards him.
Zong Shou tried to use his mind to shatter it but it was useless. In the end, he had an idea. The aura around his body simulated the Taiyi Dragon Sword of the nine types of true dragon sword intents. As expected, this green Long Ying collapsed.
When his foot landed on the ground, it actually landed directly on the ground without any obstruction at all.
… That stone wall really didn't exist!
However, he didn't have time to think about it as an external force pushed him. Zong Shou couldn't help but take another step forward. This time, it was a giant black dragon that circled the sky.
A series of nine steps, each step was a true dragon from the ancient era. When Zong Shou finally stopped and opened his eyes, the area in front of him had changed to a wide stone cave.
