His brows furrowed tightly. Zong Shou took in a deep breath before taking out 2 messaging talismans. He used his spiritual sense to enter a portion of words before directly sending it out. It turned into 2 balls of red light and flew into the sky.
The red swift bird could use scent to find people, but the messaging talisman needed a drop of essence blood to accurately find the person who sent the message.
However, to do that, one's cultivation had to be at least grade 7 and above.
Zong Shou wasn't searching for people this time, but directly sending them to Gantian Mountain City. He just needed to know the fixed location.
Their speed was several times faster than the red swift bird and they weren't easy to intercept.
The worry in his eyes still hadn't disappeared. As for the dragon horned winged horses, he didn't need to personally appear. Admiral Gu Liekong could bring men to search for them.
In a short time, the entire west of Donglin Cloud Continent, even the entire Cloud Continent. The strength of Gantian Mountain's navy should be unparalleled.
Even the west ocean Taoyun City that was famous for naval battles, before they recovered, they could barely go up against Gantian Mountain, enough to defend but not enough to attack.
They only needed 100 warships, 400 thousand people to capture those dragon horned winged horses. The time to tame them was roughly half a year.
As for the heart sutra of the blood cloud cavalry, he already had it in his head. What gave him a headache was that he didn't have anyone he liked to lead.
Originally Zong Yuan was the most suitable, but since this fellow wanted to merge with that grade 8 dragon soul and he himself was an unparalleled general talent. If he was limited to leading a cavalry army, it would be a waste.
The 2nd choice was Yin Yang. If this Uncle Yin was still here, he would have reached the martial ancestor realm, 5 meridians or even 6 meridians were possible!
Over ten years of bitter cultivation, over ten years of Foundation Establishment, over ten years of solid accumulation, explosive growth, this was no joke.
However, since this Uncle Yin said goodbye a few months ago, saying that he was going to return to the sect to take back some things that he should have, no one knew where he went or where he went.
As for Yin Yang's sect, even Ruoshui who wasn't the hidden guard commander of Zong Weiran didn't know.
Secondly, they did not have enough Martial Arts Grandmasters. This was the most difficult point. The martial ancestor level people of Gantian Mountain, without affecting the combat strength of the other divisions, could barely gather two hundred of them. However, their loyalty was hard to say.
As for the Xiantian realm, since Renbo started to implement the few good policies that he had in Gantian Mountain. The number of Xiantian experts and Out-of-Body Spirit Masters began to increase explosively. Many people were either aiming for the loans from Gantian Mountain or Zong Weiran's huge collection of classics, all registering at Gantian Mountain. Some of them directly joined the army to seek better benefits.
Since Gantian Mountain returned from the cloud ocean with huge rewards and defeated the 3 cities of Taoyun, this trend became even more obvious.
Presently, the number of Stage Four powerhouses had already increased to 19,000. According to the ratio of Fourth Stage to Fifth Stage, the ratio was 10: 1. Next year, at least fifty people would be able to break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm.
His future was bright, but right now, it was too far away to put out a nearby fire. He couldn't do anything about it.
If he could have three thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry in his hands, he would dare to instantly wipe out all the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect disciples. He also wouldn't be afraid of being blamed by the other sects!
Even if he only had six hundred cavalry, on the battlefield, at least in Donglin Cloud Continent. At this stage, he would be invincible!
Don't look at how Gantian Mountain had millions of troops. However, once the 120 years of the Spiritual Wave arrived. Troops below Stage Four couldn't be used at all and could only be used as cannon fodder.
Only strong elites like the Blood Cloud Cavalry could fight for the top of the world.
Before the Spiritual Wave, six hundred Blood Cloud Cavalry in his hands could be compared to close to a million elite troops of Gantian Mountain!
Sighing to himself, Zong Shou also used a fire talisman on the corpse. It burned the unknown young expert of the Li Family into ashes before scattering it.
Wiping away all traces, Zong Shou kept the Seven Star Spell Altar floating in the distance. He changed to a set of Lightning Traveling Third Layer Spiritual Bones and headed north with Zong Yuan.
That spell altar was really good. When activated, it could connect to ten spiritual veins and gather them for one's own use. When it floated in the air, the consumption of soul power was close to zero.
Helplessly, its movement speed was just too slow which was why Ant Zhenren blocked it.
As for driving the sword into the air, with Zong Shou's current soul power, he could at most fly a hundred miles. If he brought along Zong Yuan, it would be even worse.
Following the path they came from, what surprised Zong Shou was that the two Dragon Horned Winged Horses that he brought were still alive.
After changing mounts, their speed became a little faster. When they exited the swamp, Zong Shou saw Chai Yuan leading tens of army experts waiting anxiously outside.
In the distance, there were many military tents. Looking out, there were close to four hundred thousand of them. Gantian Mountain's direct descendant army took up a sixth of them. The rest should have come from the various cities and were mostly elites above martial master.
Looking at Zong Shou come out, Chai Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.
"Not long ago I heard news that the Xue Family gathered people to ambush the ruler. I also heard that Ant Zhenren wanted to harm the ruler. These few days I was so anxious like ants on a hot pot. It is great that the ruler can return safely! "
In the past, in front of Zong Shou, Chai Yuan always called himself an old subject. However, at this moment he was only willing to call himself a subject. Although the warmth of an elder was still there, it was much more respectful. At this moment, his expression was really solemn.
"As they say, the son of a rich family doesn't need to sit under the awning. It is best if the ruler doesn't do such things in the future. One must know that even spirit masters, as long as they have a little identity, there will be 3-5 protectors following them … "
Zong Shou was in the wrong and could only stutter. The situation this time was indeed dangerous.
Following which he felt really curious. There were simply too many troops gathered here. Just one exit and there were 400 thousand people. Then along with the other areas, wouldn't there be a million?
The surrounding cities didn't seem to be fake, the people they sent over were all elites.
The moment he asked, Chai Yuan's face flushed red, "This is because of the ruler! Ten days ago, the ruler defeated Long Ruo in front of many cultivators of the cloud world. It was really inspiring. In the current Cloud World, Who doesn't know that the ruler suffered humiliation in those 3 years in Linhai College? Who doesn't know that the ruler is the most talented person in Donglin Cloud Continent in these 100 years, the top hero of the younger generation? They all said that within a few years, the ruler would sweep the cloud continent. "
He looked behind him with disdain, "In the past, most of these people were leaning towards Taoyun City. When I wanted to move troops and gather grain, they all tried to stop me. However, since the ruler killed Long Ruo's body, Lingyun Sect was helpless and could only send out news of them apologizing. With just one order, I gathered up a million troops. If it wasn't for the agreement and that Yue Guanyun's defenses were really organized, I would have led troops to attack that Hanxi Province … "
Zong Shou was speechless, looking around, only to see that there were many grade 6 experts. However, when Zong Shou's eyes swept across, they all lowered their heads, their expressions solemn and respectful.
He suddenly comprehended something. He didn't expect that this sword path genius, the successor of Long Ying, would have such an effect.
He originally thought that he would need at least 2-3 years to digest the newly obtained land.
However, the people's hearts had changed. Gantian Mountain could already control a large half of these 7 provinces.
Hearing Chai Yuan's last few words, Zong Shou was even more tempted.
At this moment, they didn't need to rest up and accumulate strength. They just needed to consolidate and expand once more.
Yue Guanyun's ability to use troops was not bad, especially after he lost to him a few times, he became more careful and experienced. However, in his eyes, it wasn't like there weren't any weaknesses that he could find.
However, thinking about it carefully, Zong Shou decided to give up.
… He wasn't prepared to face the Donglin sects.
What was truly difficult wasn't destroying the 3 cities of Taoyun and Blazing Flame. Instead, it was after they were wiped out.
At that time, Gantian Mountain would at least have the ability to go head to head with a top 3 and above spiritual house sect!
Outside of the swamp, Zong Shou stayed for a few more days. It was just to meet the city lords of the nearby Tianfang and Xiping provinces who rushed over to console them.
Only now did he feel the pain. Although he acted like he was a wise ruler. If he had these few days of free time, it was enough for him to form a few more true spiritual charms.
When he came, it was only him and Zong Yuan. However, when he went back, he couldn't. Chai Yuan had arranged a total of twenty Martial Ancestor Realm experts as his guards, and two Xuan Martial Ancestor Realm experts as their leaders.
Only now could he see that the power of Gantian Mountain was swiftly expanding. If it was in the past, how would there be such a scene?
Not to mention 20 martial ancestor realm experts, even if Zong Shou went out to patrol, it would be good if there were 4 or 5 of them. As for Xuanwu experts, he didn't even need to think about them. The rest were all xiantian experts.
In a short 2 days, Zong Shou once again rushed to that Mysterious Ghost Mountain. He ordered the following guards to wait at the foot of the mountain. Zong Shou still only brought Zong Yuan alone to the peak of the mountain.
It was currently night time, when the fog and poison in the valley below was the thickest. Which was why when Zong Shou arrived at the peak, he saw Hu Zhongyuan and the others sitting cross-legged near the cliffs cultivating.
Both he and Zong Yuan benefited greatly from the Dragon Gathering Mountain. These fellows, on the other hand, had all improved their cultivation by leaps and bounds.
The one who improved the fastest was Lingxuan. He was a return to sun spirit master who had formed his 7th true spiritual talisman, nearly catching up to Hu Zhongyuan. Next was Guhe. His skin glowed like jade under the night sky. Who knows what special cultivation method he cultivated, such that even Zong Shou couldn't see through him.
Seeing the 2 of them arrive, the few of them were surprised, all getting up and bowing. During these few days, the few of them were obviously cultivating hard, cut off from the world and not asking about outside matters. Which was why when they met, they didn't have any weird expressions.
After Zong Shou asked, he found out that he had left for tens of days. The few of them had worked together to wipe out the 6 thousand odd beasts in the valley.
After purifying the essence blood of the spiritual salamander, they collected a total of 32 thousand drops. Hu Zhongyuan and the others each used close to a hundred. (To be continued.
