She was stunned for a short while before Kong Yao came back to her senses. At the first moment, she felt that it was preposterous, that was impossible.
However, thinking about it carefully, that sword wasn't fake at all.
… She really saw the flawless red and yellow sword energy, the purest white Long Ying!
The emperor martial path was formed due to strength and also gathered due to strength. However, due to people's hearts being messy, the sword energy formed from the strength of a country was often really messy. It was mainly red and yellow with other colors mixed in. Only a wise and accomplished ruler would have a slightly different sword Qi.
However, she had never heard of someone who was as pure as Zong Shou since the ancient Cloud Desolate Era.
It was said that only those saint emperors in the early stages of the Cloud Desolate Era had such pure emperor energy.
That was the ruler's moral character, pure and honest, the symbol of perfection. Not only was he loved by the people, but his ruling skills were also in line with the path of heaven and earth.
All of a sudden, she felt that the heavens were unfair. His majesty was always diligent and hardworking. During his seventy years on the throne, he promoted many talented people, righteous people to enter the imperial court. After inheriting the throne, it could be said that he forcefully pulled the chaotic Great Shang Dynasty back from the brink of collapse.
Now he ruled 24 states, 300 odd provinces. It couldn't be said to be a great era, but the country was peaceful and the people didn't need to worry about food and clothing. He was called the emperor of prosperity by numerous scholars, a wise ruler of a generation.
However, even then, his emperor martial path was just slightly purer than the previous one.
She had personally seen it once, the sword energy was red and yellow with many other colors. Compared to Zong Shou's, it was a far cry.
Who knows what this Zong Shou used to have such pure emperor energy?
Within Gantian Mountain, it was true that the people supported him. However, in her eyes, it was just a year and a half ago.
If she wasn't wrong, within a few years, there would be a day when Zong Shou would lose all the people's hearts.
However, he didn't expect that the hearts of the people of Gantian Mountain would be so united. They weren't unhappy with this monster king who only showed his face once in a year.
Could it be that in ancient times, the so-called Holy Emperor of the Three Sovereigns and Seven Emperors in the Confucian legends was like Zong Shou?
Impossible, there must be a mistake somewhere. Or perhaps there was a flaw in her family's secret technique!
He entrusted all the affairs to his subordinates and ignored government affairs every day. Building that so-called meeting hall and condoning his subordinates to fight was completely improper and definitely not in line with the Confucian way.
There were also all kinds of absurd government decrees that were extravagant and unrestrained. How could such a person be worthy of the title 'Saint King'?
The heavens were truly blind!
He carefully recalled the sword strike just now. Divine might was contained within. Although it was hidden and not leaked out, it was sturdy and powerful. Where was the slightest sign of weakening?
White was gold energy, mainly used to kill. This Zong Shou and Gantian Mountain's future would definitely be filled with numerous battles …
Zong Shou didn't notice the weird look on Kong Yao's face. In the last life, he had seen many emperor martial paths, but he didn't know about the quality of the emperor energy. Without a special spiritual eye technique, he was also unable to see it.
He kept all the nine yin mother and son lightning. Then, Zong Shou looked towards the ground.
He saw a talisman paper that was sliced open lying quietly on the floor that was made of real gold bricks.
"Puppet spirit descending, grade 6 talisman? No wonder it could hide from my spiritual sense … "
He reached out with his hand and the talisman paper on the ground flew into his hand. Zong Shou used his spiritual sense to identify for a moment before shaking his head in disappointment.
That paper man should have been formed by this talisman. That Yangfan should have used a thread of his soul to rely on this talisman. Even if it was destroyed, it would only cause some damage to his essence energy and wouldn't harm his foundations.
The puppet spirit descending technique was an extremely high grade spiritual technique after a spirit master stepped into the celestial path. It could form a paper man puppet, similar to an incarnation of the body. However, its combat strength was just normal.
However, that was also because Yangfan's cultivation wasn't high enough. If a spirit realm expert used this talisman to descend his spirit. Then the paper man would be a true spirit realm expert. Naturally, depending on the quality of the talisman, the time it could last would be different.
The one in his hand was obviously a high grade talisman made by a talisman master and could last for 7 days. If it turned into a talisman man like before, it could last for 8 hours.
However, he was really surprised. That Longxiang City lord really hid his strength and was actually a grade 8 spirit master! To be able to take out such a grade talisman and nine yin mother and son lightning, his wealth definitely wasn't small.
Zong Shou laughed coldly. What ran in front of him was a talisman similar to an incarnation of his body. However, its master was definitely not far away, definitely not more than a hundred miles away!
Waving his sleeves, a dark wind flashed within the hall, like something had suddenly disappeared from the side hall. Within his sleeves, the ten nine yin mother and son lightning that he had just collected also disappeared.
Zong Shou turned around and looked at Kong Yao. Only then did he notice that this woman was in a daze.
His brows furrowed as he said expressionlessly, "Governor commander Kong, you said that you came on orders from the Taishang emperor to tell me something. What is it?"
While he spoke, he purposely used some true qi to shock her. Kong Yao also came back to her senses, looking at Zong Shou. In that instance, her expression was really complicated.
A moment later, she suppressed her emotions, "Has your highness heard of the spiritual wave? Do you know that there are numerous space cracks outside of our cloud world? "
Zong Shou nodded his head. Kong Yao didn't say much and went straight to the point, "During the cloud desolate era, the spiritual wave dissipating was actually man-made. A few end realm venerables personally did it, suppressing and sealing the spiritual energy all around. Because of that, they were able to seal the tunnels that the alien races from other worlds used to invade our cloud world. They also built 5 vast habitats to suppress the world river … "
Zong Shou smiled, he was really clear about that. Half of these cracks were the work of the alien races while the other half was created by the cloud world people themselves. Thinking about it seriously, he knew why this future Taishang army god came here.
Kong Yao's tone changed, becoming really solemn, "Then does ruler know that once the spiritual wave rises, the cloud world will be filled with spiritual energy. The cloud world's spiritual energy will be extremely abundant, the heaven and earth spiritual energy sealed for ten thousand years will all explode out. Along with the suppression of the spiritual river in the wall, the many tunnels that were sealed ten thousand years ago will once again be unobstructed? At that time, even the 5 vast habitats won't be able to suppress all of them. "
She paused, Kong Yao also went into the main topic, "I am here on orders from the emperor. I ask ruler on behalf of his majesty, are you willing to be a vassal of our Taishang Dynasty? Fight against the outside enemies with our Taishang? If you are willing, our Taishang Dynasty will treat you as a duke and give you a million high-grade talisman armor and soldiers to help you unify Donglin Cloud Continent. "
Zong Shoxin nodded, not thinking much before shaking his head, "We can fight against the outside enemies together! I don't want to be a vassal, I am not willing to be someone else's subject! "
He scolded out in his heart, a million high-grade talisman armor and soldiers seemed like a lot and was sincere enough. However, did he have to tell this army god? Our Gantian Mountain has already been eliminated by the level of equipment. In just half a year, the lowest standard in the army would be a water grade 1 spiritual weapon and armor?
Moreover, this title matter needed to be taken seriously. Once it was set and Gantian Mountain belonged to the Central Dynasty, then in the future they would have their hands tied. There were many things that they couldn't do.
He was the 2nd generation direct disciple of Cang Shengdao, a true member of the demon sect. He was destined to be enemies with the Taishang Dynasty. If he became someone else's subject and went against the ruler, then he would lose the righteous path.
Both sides were enemies, and if he rebelled in the future, he would have a clear conscience.
Kong Yao's brows furrowed once more, but she wasn't surprised. Just now when she looked at Zong Shou and the yellow emperor sword energy, she understood that they were most probably going to return empty-handed.
However, she still didn't give up, opening her mouth once more, "Ruler might not know, but once the spiritual wave is abundant, the various sects and factions of the cloud world will also become stronger. They will definitely suppress the many dynasties in the world. During the cloud desolate era, it was like that. The sects were all careless. My Taishang emperor's intentions are that only if the countries work together can we go against them. Ruler, please think about it! "
Zong Shou shook his head, not agreeing or disagreeing, directly changing the topic, "Governor commander must be tired from coming so far, why not rest for a few days here in Gantian Mountain?"
Kong Yao opened her mouth, wanting to persuade him, but in the end, she kept silent. She knew that Zong Shou was rejecting her and sending her away.
Just as she was deep in thought, a cold scoff spread out from behind her, "Your country is about to be wiped out, but you still don't know what is good for you! Your life saving straw is in front of you, but you don't grasp it, how muddle-headed … "
Zong Shou's brows furrowed as he looked over coldly. Only to see that behind Kong Yao stood a person. He was around 30 years old, wearing armor, his face was like a knife, filled with disdain.
"Who is this person?"
Kong Yao felt a headache, saying helplessly, "This is foreign minister general Li Zhile, he is a commander under me. Ruler, please don't blame me for being rude. "
"Naturally, I won't blame him!" Zong Shou laughed, a cold glow flashing in his eyes, "However, I don't like people who don't act well. Tell him to scram out of Hanyan Palace!"
Li Zhile's face instantly turned ashen white, his eyes filled with rage.

At the same time, roughly 70 miles away from Gantian Mountain City, in a dense forest.
Yangfan heaved a sigh of relief, waking up from his meditation. He wiped the corner of his lips, only to feel that his hand was sticky. Looking closely, it was stained with fresh blood.
This was due to his soul being damaged just now.
At this moment, there were 3 people standing beside him. One was a 29 year old, beautiful and gentle maid called Tanxiang. The other 2 stood slightly further away, but they were all wearing armor. Each of them held a spear, one was called Feng Guang, the other Zhou Wen. They were his protectors, grade 7 experts, the people he trusted the most. At this moment, they all looked over with worry on their faces.
Yangfan smiled, shaking his head to express that he was fine. Then, he stood up and looked towards Gantian Mountain City. (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.)
