"According to what I know, three months ago, Tailing Sect had already sent tens of elite disciples along with six hundred Dao soldiers to guard the Yan City Pass in front to protect Yuan Jiuchen."
Zhao Yanran's face was green as she said, "Amongst which Wood Spirit, Dragon Spirit, and Tailing all stepped into grade 7. The one we need to pay attention to is that Ji Lingzi. These 4 people are the most outstanding few out of the younger generation of Tailing Sect. Amongst which Ji Lingzi is the leader. Not only is he about to step into grade 8, he is also really scheming. He is also the most terrifying … "
Zong Shou frowned, carefully listening to Zhao Yanran's evaluation of these few people.
"… This Ji Lingzi used his own strength to defeat 10 Xuanwu ancestors when he was a grade 6 return to sun spirit master. He was called a talisman technique genius and was someone on the same level as the 3 pinnacle swords of the cloud world. It was said that this time he forcefully suppressed his cultivation to not let his cultivation break through to grade 8. He rushed to Yan City Pass to take charge of matters. Moreover, Tailing Sect isn't the only one waiting there … "
When he heard that, Zong Shou's heart turned ice cold. He knew that the sect mission this time was really tough but he didn't expect it to be so tough.
Just the ones that Zhao Yanran mentioned, there were 4 grade 7 experts. Yuan Jiuchen himself could be considered one.
Yan City Pass was a pass southwest of the central dynasty with millions of troops there. There definitely wasn't only one grade 7 expert. The other Taoist sects and Confucian Faction sects would also send out experts.
That place had already become the place where Tailing Sect and Cang Shengdao fought.
In Zong Shou's heart, an urge to flee rose up.
Or like what Hanfang said, to save those 3 million people and end the matter.
As for assassinating Yuan Jiuchen, he didn't need to think about it. He would think about it ten over years later.
Furrowing his brows, Zong Shou sighed.
In the end, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing. Cang Shengdao did indeed think highly of him. Just the fact that the huge Hidden Scriptures Tower was open to him without any reservations was enough to make him feel grateful. It was precisely because of this that he had to do his best.
If possible, Zong Shou also wanted to try and see if he could save Cang Shengdao's future.
So that his sect could avoid decline and walk towards prosperity.
He used his fingers to rub the space between his eyebrows, but after a long while, he still couldn't find anything.
Zong Shou couldn't help but laugh. Chen Rou was right about one thing. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be victorious in a hundred battles.
For this matter, apart from Tailing Sect sending people to interfere, he didn't know anything else. What could he think of?
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat and she looked at the other girl who also had a worried look on her face.
"Yunlan, I know that your Clear Sound School is well-informed in the Central Cloud Continent. Can you help me investigate the background of this Yuan Jiuchen, where his family is, who he is on good terms with in Yan City Pass, who he has a grudge with, where he will be promoted. Who will be the new Yan City Pass lieutenant? And also his benefactor, the Han King, as well as everything about that Liao King. Oh right, also the map of Yan City Pass and Helian Iron Mountain … "
When Xuan Yunlan heard that, she was startled. The Han King and Liao King were both princes of the Central Cloud Continent. They were sent out to each take charge of a region.
Forget about the Han King and the map, the latter was necessary. The former was Yuan Jiuchen's superior. However, why did he want to investigate that Liao King? He was tens of thousands of miles away and his land was in the northeast of the Central Cloud Continent. It had nothing to do with this matter.
Thinking about it for a moment, Xuan Yunlan was filled with questions in her heart. However, she still nodded her head.
Since his highness wanted it, then she would try her best. Anyways, it wasn't a difficult matter for her Clear Sound School. This person took over for less than a year and expanded his land by tens of thousands of miles. He was a rare young lord. He definitely had his reasons for instructing her like that.
Zong Shou sighed. He remembered that his first choice when he was prepared to join a sect was Tailing Sect.
However, today they were going to meet on the battlefield.
"Oh right, Ruoshui, the country name of the Central Cloud Continent is Taishang right?"
Her eyes were blurry. Ruoshui who was sitting behind him didn't know what Zong Shou was trying to do. She could only make an "en" sound as a reply.
After Zong Shou said that, he silently looked into the distance.
He hoped that when he was bored in the future, the historical records he saw were all true …
※ ※ ※
Xuan Shu's experience was indeed rich. He led these 500 people to pass through the desolate mountains and steep ridges. Everything, eating, drinking, pooping, everything was arranged properly. There was no need for Zong Shou to interfere at all.
Even Zong Yuan, who was also an expert, looked at it with his picky eyes and couldn't find any flaws. He also couldn't see any flaws that could reveal their tracks.
While Zong Shou was satisfied, he decided to let go of everything and let Xuan Shu handle it. With someone else managing these 500 people, it was just nice and easy. As for himself, he stayed in the carriage to consolidate his cultivation.
Although he had merged with the 6th pair of chakra meridians, it was still a little unstable. He used a full 6 days for those 2 new spiritual veins to circulate smoothly in his bone chakra.
The true qi and essence energy also started to strengthen the bones in his body. It absorbed the hidden dragon essence in his body as well as the remaining lightning phoenix essence.
Pretty much every day that passed, Zong Shou felt that his body was getting a little stronger. Since he broke through, the strength of his physical body was growing at an explosive speed.
Merely twenty days later, under the lead of Xuan Shu, the group of people passed through the Guangling Immensity Ocean and arrived at the other end of the enormous desert. They were only thirteen thousand miles away from the Yan City Pass.
At this moment, those common people mysterious dragon warriors were still okay. They didn't care much about the harsh environment of the desert.
The elite disciples of the various sects were all listless. Only when they knew that they were about to walk out of the desert did they regain some energy.
Only their grievances towards Zong Shou didn't change, slowly boiling and rising.
Just as they were setting up camp at night, this grievance finally showed signs of exploding.
Zong Shou's camp was arranged at the center of the entire camp. Today he was sitting beside the campfire, comprehending the earth talisman of the 5 element talisman. He saw Xie Guan who was not far away suddenly walk over.
When he was ten meters away from him, he stopped and coldly swept his gaze over.
"First seat, do you know that many sect members are filled with hatred towards you?"
Zong Shou was helpless. He knew that at this moment he couldn't think about calming down and comprehending. He could only stop and open his eyes, "I know, but what does this have to do with the Yan City Pass matter?"
Xie Guan curled his lips, using his hand to press on his sword, his expression filled with disdain, "I am lazy to fight with you. If first seat you want to do this then I can't do anything. Today I just want to ask, did you say to my junior brother that the ability of our Xuanyang Sect disciples is only so? "
Zong Shou was startled when he heard that, sweeping towards Li Zhe who was in the crowd not far away. Only to see that this person had a weird expression, looking over with a little nervousness. It was like he didn't expect that Xie Guan would directly ask him.
He couldn't help but frown, his heart turning cold.
"I didn't say that!"
Xie Guan's expression instantly calmed down. However, he still wasn't willing to leave just like that. He suddenly took a step forward and an oppressive sword aura suddenly rose up.
"Is senior master Tan willing to swear on your heart demon?"
Zong Shou's pupils constricted. No matter how gentle his personality was, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that Li Zhe's face was flushed red. His nervousness grew thicker.
He knew that he just needed one sentence to expose this person's lies. Zong Shou laughed coldly, directly shaking his head, "No!"
Li Zhe's expression was obviously startled. Then, he chuckled and his expression turned into one of schadenfreude.
Xie Guan's eyes instantly turned dark. After a long while he took in a deep breath, "Okay! A year later I will fight with you to challenge for the position of first seat. I will let the first seat see the ability of our Xuanyang Sect disciples. I hope that at that time you can break through to grade 7! "
After he finished, he wasn't willing to speak to Zong Shou anymore, directly turning around and leaving.
Zhao Yanran who was at the side was already listless. She didn't dare to wait for Xie Guan to leave, helplessly saying towards Zong Shou, "First seat Tan! You know that Li Zhe is trying to sow discord. Can't you give way? You didn't do it, it is just a heart demon oath. Why bother? "
Xie Guan's footsteps suddenly stopped, like he was waiting for Zong Shou's reply.
Zong Shou expressionlessly shook his head, "I, Tan Qiu, have never said those words before. However, today I really think that the ability of this generation of Xuanyang Sect disciples is only so-so. "
Those elite disciples of Xuanyang Sect were originally looking over in rage. When these words were said, they all stood up, their hands pressing on their swords, causing the aura of this space to instantly turn cold.
As for Xie Guan, he abruptly turned around, his eyes as sharp as arrows as he stared over, as if he wanted to completely pierce through Zong Shou's body.
Luoshi who was not far away mocked, "What arrogance! Our fellow disciples of Xuanyang Sect, even our Hanling Sect is only on the same level. Does first seat also think that our Hanling Sect disciples are only so-so? "
Zong Shou smiled, not willing to argue with him. However, his expression showed that he agreed with Luoshi's words.
At this moment, not only were the expressions of the Xuanyang Sect disciples green, but the faces of the Hanling Sect people were also extremely ugly.
Zhao Yanran didn't have anything to say. She could only helplessly stare at Zong Shou along with Xuan Yunlan.
The latter didn't seem to sense anything, only being on guard. His personality was just like that.
If people respect me, I will respect them ten times over. If people destroy a grain of mine, I will take three bushels from them.
He was just worrying about finding an excuse to viciously beat up these people. He brought the cloud crossing carriage over to provoke these people. It was best if they could turn on him and attack him.
Weren't these people all arrogant and untamed? Then he would beat them until they were tamed. Weren't they lazy and didn't respect orders? Using his fists would naturally make these people listen to orders!
Xie An's expression was becoming colder and colder. Luoshi's expression was also cold as he strolled out. The aura of the entire camp was on the verge of exploding. However, a cold scoff suddenly broke out. (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.)
