"… 14 rebels have been captured and investigated as Cang Shengdao disciples. 3 days later they will be beheaded in public as a warning to others … "
Retracting his spiritual sense from the message talisman in his hand, Zong Shou's face was filled with shock.
Just now when he saw the news, his first thought was that someone was impatient from waiting. They ran out of this hiding place and did their own things.
They had been cooped up here for a full month and there were no signs of them attacking, nor were there any special arrangements. Zong Shou knew that those sect elites who came along were already filled with grievances against him. They were just short of pointing at his nose and accusing him of slacking off.
He chose to go into secluded meditation these few days because what the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over.
Following which he felt that it wasn't right. With Xuan Shu's ability, who could hide from those 400 common people mysterious dragon warriors and sneak away?
He continued to read the contents and noticed that it wasn't. It was some inner sect disciples who ran over to Yan City Pass for some reason.
They were originally prepared to use the explosion spiritual formation to assassinate the nobles to force the governor to let go of the 3 million sinners in Helian Iron Mountain.
In the end, before they even started, they were captured by the local city guards in Lewu County 70 miles away.
Within Yan City Pass, there were also Cang Shengdao's spies. Xuan Shu passed the news to him after a few passes.
He felt that it was a little familiar. Zong Shou thought about it for a moment and recalled the plan that he heard in the Evidence Hall that day. Following which he groaned, only feeling that his body had no strength.
— — Did these people really make a move? Didn't Hanfang say that with the restrictions of the sect elders, these fellows wouldn't dare to mess around?
They originally had a 50% chance of winning, so why did such a change occur?
His fellow sect members of Cang Shengdao weren't normal weirdos.
Rubbing his brows, Zong Shou only felt that his head hurt. Looking into the cave, he saw that Zhao Yanran and Luo Shui's faces were ashen white. Xuan Shu's expression was also green.
Zong Yuan and Ruoshui, who were beside him, seemed very indifferent, perhaps because they felt that this matter had nothing to do with them.
"I wonder how many people know about this? Can you seal off the news and not let anyone else here know about it? "
Xuan Shu frowned and said uncertainly: "I'll do my best! However, he still had to think of a way to save his fellow disciples. If we just leave it like this, it will definitely make people bitterly disappointed. "
Zong Shou grunted, but did not say anything. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. If he wanted to save someone, he definitely couldn't do it by force.
Then to behead these dozen or so Cang Shengdao disciples three days later, it was most likely a trap set by Yuan Jiuchen to lure them out of their own accord.
Just as he was thinking of a solution, there was a loud explosion at the entrance of the cave.
Zong Shou raised his eyebrows and looked over. Then, the barrier of the spiritual array was blasted apart by a huge force.
Following which, a few people walked in with sunken faces. The one at the front was Xie An. The two beside him were Luoshi and Xuanye. Behind them were hundreds of people, their faces filled with rage as they stood outside the door.
Although they didn't follow the three of them in, their emotions were surging.
"As the matter is urgent, we are eager to meet you. Please forgive us first seat and commander for our lack of manners! "
The first to speak was Luoshi. Although he was apologizing, he wasn't apologetic at all. Instead, his brows were tightly locked as he stared at Zong Shou without any emotions.
"Did first seat know about the Lewu County matter?"
Zong Shou sighed, the news of these people was really quick. As expected, most of the matters in the world didn't go as planned.
Looking at the situation of these people, they were most probably here to question him.
"I know!"
"Then how is first seat prepared to deal with it?"
Zong Shou expressionlessly glanced at Luoshi, similarly expressionless, "The sect will deal with these ten over fellow sect members. It has nothing to do with us. If you are done, you can go back … "
Luoshi held his breath, following which he laughed coldly, "What a good 'nothing to do with us'! First seat, aren't you afraid that my Cang Shengdao disciples will be disappointed? Forget it, but I, Luo Shi, still have a question I would like to ask. How long are you prepared to wait here? After the sect gives up, are you going to return just like that? If you could settle things a few days earlier and take the life of that Yuan Jiuchen. How would these ten over fellow sect members end up in the hands of those dogs? "
Zong Shoxin couldn't help but feel delighted, he didn't expect Luoshi to think so highly of himself. Yuan Jiuchen, who caused the sect to return in defeat and suffer heavy losses. In his eyes, it was like they were already in his bag.
It was as if he was also responsible for the capture of those ten people.
His face was expressionless, not revealing anything, "Since I am in charge of this matter, I will decide when to act! As for what plans I have, it is not convenient for me to tell you. "
When Luoshi heard that, he was so furious that his face turned purple. Just as he was about to take a step forward, he heard Xuan Shu scoff, "My Cang Shengdao sect rules, those who dare to go against their superiors, deceive their masters and destroy their ancestors, die!"
The sound reverberated, Luoshi was startled, his expression fluctuating. In the end, he waved his sleeves and left furiously.
"I really don't understand why the sect would choose such a useless and cowardly person to be our leader! I am ashamed to be in the same team as you! "
Xie An's brows furrowed, standing still in front of Zong Shou for a moment. The hand holding the sword suddenly clenched tightly and then suddenly loosened. In the end, he didn't pull it out, saying expressionlessly, "First seat, take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he left on his own accord. Only Xuanye was left, her expression apologetic. Taking in a deep breath, she bowed, "I know that first seat isn't someone who doesn't save others. Although these sect members are rash, their hearts are sincere. First seat, please think of a plan. If not, the outcome will be catastrophic … "
She looked deeply at Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan before walking away.
As for the people outside the sect, they all scattered in twos and threes.
When the cave room regained its silence once more, Zhang Xuan sighed. Zong Shou casually cast out a few spells, causing the restrictions at the entrance to return to normal.
Then, he frowned, thinking to himself that this Cang Shengdao's news control was a little too backward.
If this was in the army of the future, to randomly spread news and disturb the morale of the army. They would be beheaded.
Compared to ten thousand years later, the tightly organized Cang Shengdao was different.
In his heart, his impression of Xuanye and Luoshi had changed. The anxiousness of these people didn't seem fake, they were really worried about the deaths of those ten over sect members.
Although they were a bunch of random people, their will was as strong as a city. What a really weird sect.
Xuan Shu also frowned, knowing that Zong Shou's plan to lock down the news was just empty talk. Annoyance appeared on his face but he forced himself to calm down, "First seat, please don't blame them. These disciples are just worried about their fellow sect members. They didn't mean to offend you, they didn't dare to be disrespectful to you … "
Xuan Shu also felt that these words were too fake. He coughed dryly and said, "I wonder what we should do next?"
Zong Shou was startled like he didn't hear those words. A moment later, he laughed.
"They nearly fell into a dead end, forcefully saving them is definitely not appropriate. However, that might not be the only way. Can the sect think of a way from above? Order that Lewu County city head to delay the beheading to a month later? Didn't that Taishang emperor hate Cang Shengdao to the bone? We can also let Lewu County send these Cang Shengdao rebels to the capital. "
That Xuan Shu was stunned, thinking to himself that there was actually such a method? Xuan Yunlan, who was originally frowning, was delighted, "That is a good idea! It isn't hard to do it and it is also majestic. Not only would that Lewu County city head not dare to go against it. Even Yuan Jiuchen would be at a loss. We just need to delay for a month and wait for Yuan Jiuchen to die. At that time, we can easily save these fellow sect members. As expected from your highness … "
Zong Shou smiled. Speaking of this method, it was actually just copying the wisdom of others. Three hundred years later, Cang Shengdao had used this method to save a bandit whose name was famous throughout the cloud world and even shocked the god emperor.
Naturally, he couldn't tell these people that this was done by the future Cang Shengdao. It would cause those righteous sects to lose a lot of face.
He could only come up with an idea for this matter. As for the specifics, he still needed the Qingyin School to do it. This sect was in the marketplace and brothel, their strength in the mortal world was the strongest.
Since Xuan Yunlan said that it was okay, then Zong Shou was able to relax once more. However, that night, Zong Shou didn't have time to finish a set of spiritual breathing fist.
In the entire underground cavern, several loud explosions could be heard. Spiritual energy ripples shook unceasingly, one could hear the sound of weapons clashing.
When Zong Shou frowned, thinking about whether or not Yuan Jiuchen had already come knocking on his door, he walked out of the room that was allocated to him. He saw that Xuan Shu was standing at the door with an ashen white face.
Zong Shou walked over and looked around curiously. Then, he understood what was going on.
"Did Luoshi and the others leave on their own?"
A thread of blood seeped down from the corner of Xuan Shu's lips as he bowed towards Zong Shou, "Not only them, even some common people mysterious dragon warriors from the 3 sects and 6 schools left. This time I am useless and wasn't able to take care of them properly! "
Zong Shou didn't have any intention to blame him, instead he mocked himself in his heart. This was truly a case of one wave rising after another before the first wave had subsided.
Actually looking at the situation of those people, he should have thought about it long ago. As expected, he wasn't made to be the ruler of a country.
Xuan Shu alone definitely wasn't the opponent of Xie Guan and Luoshi. Those common people mysterious dragon warriors were after all from the 3 sects and 6 schools. Their feelings towards the sect were stronger than Cang Shengdao. The words of Luoshi and the others were more useful.
He was too careless to continue provoking them like that. These people had no place to vent so they could only choose to leave, tossing him aside and doing their own things.
Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan stood not far away, their expressions were really ugly. Zhao Yanran watched as the spiritual array cracked open. A moment later, she stomped her feet heavily on the ground, "These fellows really can't accomplish anything but are good at spoiling things!"
