Gantian Mountain peak, within the side hall that was already smashed into pieces.
Zong Shou sighed as he looked at the mess in front of him. Those chairs, apart from the one that Kong Yao sat on before, were still perfectly fine. The rest were all turned into dust.
These were all top grade red xuan wood! Ten kilograms could be worth as much as a grade 4 spiritual weapon! It was said that coming into contact with it could extend one's lifespan. The wooden chairs came from the hands of a grandmaster. When he bought it, he spent at least a thousand grade 4 beast crystals.
However, today it was all destroyed just like that.
Not only these chairs, but within the hall, there were 4 wooden beams that were destroyed. Not to mention the gold bricks on the ground, they were all real gold.
Looking at this side hall, if it wasn't repaired, it would collapse in a short while. This would also cost numerous beast crystals.
On the side of the old priest Zong Ling, he closed his eyes and acted like he was healing up his injuries. As for the frowning face of the ruler, he acted like he didn't know.
He laughed in his heart. He knew that on one side Zong Shou loved luxury and on the other, he loved money like his life.
This time his heart was going to hurt to death.
"In the future when we meet envoys, all items worth 1 basic grade beast crystal and above must be moved away! The items used must be as cheap as possible! "
After coming to such a conclusion, Zong Shou's expression finally returned to normal. "Oh," he said in realization, "No wonder when the emperors of the past met their subjects, they would always choose to be solemn and simple. That makes sense, as expected it makes a lot of sense! Apart from saving money, we can also get a good reputation. Even if it is smashed, we won't feel heart pain. Why not? "
Zong Ling's brows rose up, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He finally opened his eyes, "Ruler, I see that the envoys from Blazing Flame and Yunxia are all filled with energy. They are probably prepared to have a huge battle with our Gantian Mountain. Leaving in a fit of anger, it won't be more than 3 months before their troops invade our Gantian Mountain territory! "
Zong Shou's eyes squinted slightly, following which he smiled. Great minds think alike, he also made such a judgment. Three months, with the current speed of Gantian Mountain producing Martial Ancestor Realm experts, Gantian Mountain wouldn't be able to do that. At that time, they would be able to increase their numbers by another two thousand and at least half of them could enter the Blood Cloud Cavalry.
4 thousand blood cloud iron cavalry. He didn't believe that apart from the top 3 shrines which sect could go head-on against the army of Gantian Mountain.
The current Gantian Mountain would become stronger with each passing day.
"I know what you mean, Priest. I'll send a decree to the Prime Minister later. To avoid being caught off guard, the spiritual weapons and artifacts in the storage can be secretly distributed to the army … "
Before he finished speaking, Zong Shou's eyes flashed and he looked to the side of the hall. "How is it?"
The shadow in that direction was originally empty. However, following Zong Shou's question, the figure of a girl suddenly appeared.
His expression was languid, as if he could never get enough sleep. His expression was slightly tired.
"I only killed two of his Ascended Martial Ancestors and a Day Wandering Spirit Master. He escaped using the Heaven Escape Talisman, Ruoshui couldn't catch up to him. "
"Heavenly Escape Talisman? That person is really rich! "
Giving out the same exclamation as Ruoshui before, Zong Shou was filled with envy and jealousy.
This Yangfan, be it the Puppet Spirit Descending Talisman, Nine Yin Mother and Son Lightning, or the Heaven Escape Talisman, they were all good things that were hard to get even with ten thousand crystals. Only Celestial Realm experts could craft them.
He also had 3 Heaven Escape Talismans, which he exchanged for after accumulating merit points for this year.
Cang Shengdao Palace really had many good things. During this year and a half, Zong Shou not only helped Ruoshui and Zong Yuan find suitable cultivation methods and secret techniques. He had also found a lot of treasures that could be used to defeat the enemy or save their lives at critical moments.
The Heaven Escape Talisman was like that. It was said that in a breath, one could travel ten thousand miles. Within the Celestial Realm, one was unable to track.
However, Zong Shou didn't bear to use it. Actually, it was because he didn't have a chance to use it.
"Forget it! To be able to make him suffer a huge loss before the battle, that is not bad! "
Thinking back to when Yangfan looked at him in the meeting hall, it made him feel really annoyed.
Just as he said that, the entire mountain suddenly shook slightly. Zong Shou was startled, following which he flew like the wind to the edge of the high cliff.
Looking down, only to see dust cover the sky. Only to see that on the stone cliff 8 thousand feet below, there was a huge hole.
Zong Yuan and Kong Yao were fighting in mid-air, all the way down to the bottom of the mountain.
With just one look, Zong Shou recognized that it was a storage room used to store low-grade pills.
After using his spiritual sense to investigate, he instantly felt a heart piercing pain, nearly pounding his chest and stomping his feet.
He noticed that the inside was filled with dust and stone. The wooden racks where the pill bottles were placed had mostly fallen to the ground.
There were more than twenty such storehouses on the second and third floors. It was something that Gantian Mountain recently developed a large number of alchemists to practice on. Actually, it wasn't that valuable.
However, if they were sold, they would be worth 600 thousand Grade Four beast crystals! However, today, due to the battle between Zong Yuan and Kong Yao, it had turned into dust.
This fellow was really a prodigal, not feeling heart pained when a child sold his father's land!
"Jerk!"
Scoffing furiously with a green face, Zong Shou used his spiritual sense to investigate. Only then did his expression relax.
This storage room was buffed by a spiritual formation. When Zong Yuan attacked, he purposely controlled his strength. Most of the pill bottles were perfectly preserved. Only a few porcelain bottles were broken. However, those pills were still in good condition. However, at this moment, they were all mixed up in the dirt and stone.
Later, he would order people to clean them up. They could still be used. As for who would swallow it, it was a mystery. Zong Shou wasn't prepared to bother. The 3 million troops under him could only pray for themselves.
Just at this moment, there was a loud explosion from below. Then, they saw Zong Yuan carrying the unconscious Kong Yao and flying to the peak of Gantian Mountain.
Then, he casually tossed the silver-armored teen to the side. He cupped his fists towards Zong Shou to express his intent to report to him.
Zong Shou looked at Zong Yuan with an annoyed expression, "I asked you to wait there and 'invite' her to stay for a few more months. I didn't ask you to attack her in the pill storage room!"
When Zong Yuan heard that, his expression didn't change. He calmly explained, "This girl has a secret technique. Spiritual formations and restrictions are useless against her. Zong Yuan is useless. It was only after this girl searched tens of storage rooms that I noticed. I was prepared to deal with her according to what your highness said. However, in the end, I noticed that she wanted to destroy our Gantian Mountain Treasury. Zong Yuan had no choice but to fight her … "
Zong Shou held his breath. Then, he waved his hand in annoyance, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you."
Then, he looked at the silver-armored teen on the ground. If one were to talk about the most tragic person in the god-emperor era, apart from Shi Ruolan, this last army god of the Taishang dynasty was definitely one of them.
She was invincible on the battlefield, winning every battle. She maintained the last glory of the Taishang dynasty. However, in the end, she wasn't able to stop this 2,400 years old central dynasty from collapsing.
In the end, she died in the hands of that god-emperor. With 370,000 troops, she fought an enemy ten times her number. She broke tens of formations. However, at the last moment when she saw the light of victory, she died from exhaustion.
It was said that her corpse was stabbed with a spear. She stood on the battlefield with millions of corpses and didn't fall even after a hundred days.
When she died, the heavens and earth were blood red like they were crying for her. None of the subordinates of that future god-emperor dared to get close.
The ending was tragic but it also made one plan. The reason why this woman led a lone army and was surrounded was because the Taishang emperor who escaped from Jingdou wanted to take over the military power of the 3 states that she controlled.
She won every battle, never losing a single battle. In the end, she died from a knife in the back of the person she was loyal to.
What was amusing was that on the 10th day after Kong Yao died in battle. That Liao King who was expected to be the future ruler also died in battle.
He was betrayed by his trusted aides. Tailing Sect, which he relied on as a great wall, also abandoned him like a pair of worn-out shoes.
At this moment, less than 27 years had passed since the day this woman died …
Zong Ling didn't know that this silver-armored woman had such a future. At this moment, he naturally didn't feel emotional at all. Instead, he frowned and felt that it was a little problematic, "Ruler, this woman knows too much today. We need to keep her for a few months to avoid alerting the Donglin sects. However, our Gantian Mountain is at most grade-6. I am useless, I am only afraid that after the ruler leaves, no one will be able to control her! "
After all, this woman was a Taishang envoy. Killing her to silence her wouldn't work.
He knew that Zong Shou would at most stay for a few days which was why it was really problematic.
The Central Dynasty side wouldn't sit still and watch this woman be captured.
Zong Shou also had a headache. From the corner of his eye, he saw a person flying swiftly over ten thousand feet away. He instantly smiled, "With Zong Bo here, what are you afraid of?"
Zong Ling was startled as he looked up, only to see a white-haired old man land from the air. It was the previous Zong Bo Zong Zheng.
Looking at Kong Yao, Zong Zheng's brows furrowed. Then, he waved his sleeves and Kong Yao disappeared.
"I can help the ruler suppress this woman for a few months. However, the commotion today is too huge and we need to find an excuse to make people less suspicious … "
His expression was expressionless as he said, "This time I rushed back. To help our Zong Family become the ruler of Donglin! After this matter is completed, I will still leave. There are too few high-grade cultivators in Gantian Mountain. At that time, the ruler will need to invite some factionless cultivators to help. "
The depths of his eyes were really complicated. He looked right at Zong Shou, thinking that he was wrong at the start.
Who would have thought that in the hands of someone he saw as trash, a branch family member, Gantian Mountain would be so prosperous.
In just two years, they had the ability to go up against the sects and sweep Donglin.
The Seven-tailed Zong Clan not only held the highest authority in Donglin, there were also countless experts emerging from the clan in the future.
"Excuse? Just say that I am interested in this Kong Yao. I want to snatch her to be my concubine … "
Zong Shou gave an evil smile. Then, he thought about how many factionless cultivators in the cloud world were worth him recruiting.
Slowly, his mind wandered. Thinking about Xuanyuan Yiren who was still connected to Pill Fountain Sect, his expression turned solemn. (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.)
