"Low Xuan Grade Mind Stone Mine? So that's the case … "
Huizhou Island, within a large city known as Huiye City. Zong Shou was sitting in the city, within the palace that originally belonged to the City Lord. He looked at the few Mind Stones in his hand in surprise.
They were translucent and looking at them, there seemed to be clouds surging within.
These were the Hidden Guards under Ruoshui who sent people to send them over. They were all Xuan Grade Mind Stones, most of them were Low Grades. However, there were only a few that reached Intermediate Grade.
Looking closely at where the Taoist Faction Cultivators entered and exited.
In a short few days, they noticed this mine. Looking at the situation, it should be a rich mine. Ruoshui's Hidden Guards just dug at the end of the mine and they got these few Mind Stones.
Zong Shou frowned. In his memory, he didn't remember the existence of this mine.
However, he wasn't surprised. When Mind Stones reached Xuan Grade, only Spirit Realm Cultivators and above could use them. It was definitely occupied by the sects and normal people wouldn't be able to come into contact with it. Naturally, there were no records of it in history.
Speaking of which, it would be weird if the Cloud World didn't have such a Xuan Grade Mind Stone Mine.
After all, this was the ancient era, a world that many outer region alien races saw as the Celestial World …
It was because this world had many spiritual items and rich resources which was why many outer region powers were eyeing it.
The questions from before were all solved. A Low Xuan Grade Mind Stone Mine was still rare even 100 years after the Spiritual Wave started.
If they occupied it at the start of the Spiritual Wave, who knows how many experts and Dao Soldiers they could nurture …
A normal High Grade Mind Stone Mine could provide for 1,000 Grade-6 Dao Soldiers.
Then this Low Xuan Grade Mind Stone Mine could provide for at least 10,000 people!
If it was a rich mine, it was even possible for 12,000 people …
No wonder Daoling Vast Habitat was so heartless!
A Xuan Grade Mind Stone could provide for his Book of Eon Extreme Life for 10 days.
If he got this mine, then he wouldn't have to worry in a short time. One day could be used as dozens of days …
Then, Zong Shou shook his head. Although it was on his territory, this mine was something that his Gantian Mountain couldn't swallow.
Especially at such a time when they had totally turned on Daoling Vast Habitat and wouldn't rest until one of them died, they couldn't show any weakness.
"You can send someone to inform Cang Shengdao of the Kenzō Sect and have them send an emissary to negotiate! By the way, you can inform the Buddhists as well! "
With this profound grade ore vein, Cang Shengdao would have a legitimate reason to help him in the future. As for the Kenzō Sect, they returned the favor. Naturally, the Ten Thousand Sword Vast Habitat had to pay a sufficient price.
The addition of the Buddhist Sect was just a side benefit. At the foot of the Seven Cloud Mountain, there were still millions of souls of soldiers who had died in battle. They needed Buddhist high monks to perform a ritual and transcend.
Other than purifying the resentment there, he also had to calm the morale of his troops.
Actually, the Demon Sect could also borrow their strength. However, Zong Shou naturally hated them. He also knew that these people wouldn't have any gratitude and would only look at benefits.
A smart person wouldn't make himself an enemy of the entire world. As the ruler of a country, he couldn't let himself do whatever he wanted.
Amongst the righteous path, there were hypocrites and evil people. However, since the Demon Path cultivators cultivated those evil, bloody and cruel demon path techniques, they weren't good people.
Gantian Mountain should be able to get half of the profits from this Xuan Grade ore vein.
However, it was an unexpected fortune. At least he didn't have to worry about the compensation that was giving him a huge headache.
From Lianyun Island to Seven Cloud Mountain, the millions of soldiers who died, although most of them weren't under his rule, they were forcefully captured. However, Zong Shou was still planning to wait and see.
"The Ministry of Rites and the Kenzō Sect of Cang Shengdao will deal with this Xuan Grade ore vein matter!"
A clanging sound spread out from beneath the City Lord throne, interrupting Zong Shou's thoughts.
"I heard that the Ancient Lizard Dragon wouldn't swim to shallow areas. Phoenixes and Luan Phoenixes wouldn't go where the water is. Since ancient times, nobles all knew how to protect themselves and wouldn't enter dangerous areas, much less the Ruler? Now that the Ruler doesn't have any children, you need to be more careful! "
When Zong Shou heard that voice, he felt a headache. The one who spoke was Zhang Huai. At this moment, his face flushed red, filled with rage.
Why didn't he notice that this fellow could become a loyal official?
"I know that the Ruler is brave and invincible in the Cloud World! However, those who are good at war die in battle, those who are good at swimming drown. How can the Ruler not be wary of himself? If the Blood Cloud Cavalry came a little later, if Wuji's ability to lead troops was stronger, would the Ruler be able to escape? If anything happens to the Ruler, what would happen to us, the subjects, then?
While speaking, Zhang Huai sneaked a glance at the little puppy lying on Zong Shou's shoulder.
At this moment, the scales had already disappeared, the flames on its paws were also gone. It was sticking out its tongue and licking Zong Shou's face.
If it wasn't for this Qilin, this Ruler that he had acknowledged for less than 3 months would have most probably lost his life.
One person facing 7 thousand Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry, wasn't that asking to die?
Thinking about that, he felt even more rage in his chest.
"I think that Zong Yuan and Yin Yang should be killed! They knew that the Ruler was in a death situation, but they didn't stop him. This isn't the way of a subject … "
Zong Yuan stood at the side, silent and expressionless, not willing to argue.
It was his fault that he wasn't able to stop him this time.
He looked at Zong Shou with a bitter expression.
He didn't hate Zhang Huai, instead, he was grateful. If he could make the Ruler more careful in the future, that would be for the best.
The hall was dead silent, no one spoke up to defend Zong Shou. Kong Yao's face was ashen white, she was also a little afraid. She was happy to see the Taoist Faction take revenge. However, she didn't expect that Zong Shou would take such a risk.
Zong Shou was speechless, looking around the hall for help. Wherever his gaze landed, everyone would dodge to the side.
He thought to himself that these people were really vicious, everyone was betraying him. They weren't even willing to give him a way out …
Blocking the enemy alone, although he didn't expect that Xiaori would be so threatening to the Xuan Flame Golden Qilin Beasts. However, at that time, he was 50-60% confident that Zong Yuan could rush over in time.
If he couldn't, then he would just flee. Fighting 7 thousand cavalry alone. The ancient overlord was just so-so, it wasn't embarrassing …
However, at this moment, he couldn't say those words out loud.
At this moment, his entire body felt like it was falling apart. His bones were broken in dozens of places, the meridians in his body were in a mess.
When he was fighting against the 7 thousand Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry, his spirit was shocking and he didn't give in at all.
However, if not for Xiaori suddenly showing off his strength and Zong Yuan rushing over a little later, he would at most be able to block one or two more waves of attacks before he would have to consider fleeing.
Zhang Huai was still looking over aggressively. Zong Shou smiled awkwardly.
"Based on what you said, there won't be a next time! I will be careful … "
He was the King of a country and also a swordsman. If he had to fight, he definitely wouldn't retreat. Such a promise was already the limit.
The people in the hall seemed to know that they couldn't force him too much, their tense expressions relaxed.
Zhang Huai's expression also relaxed slightly. Then, he handed over another document.
"There is another matter. Ruler's Taoist Wiping Out decree has been returned by the Prime Minister and the Cabinet Secretaries. They also told Zhang Huai to report to Ruler that he doesn't dare to accept the decree. Even if Ruler forcefully pushes it out, the Prime Minister will stop it in the Meeting Hall. "
The moment he said this, Zong Shou's 10 fingers clenched so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard.
Zhang Huai's expression didn't change, "Prime Minister Ren said that as a Ruler, I can't send troops because of anger and can't decide politics because of happiness. Breaking ties with the Taoist Faction can't stop people from Taoist Dao because of that. I also can't punish people for talking about Taoist scriptures. This is a Ruler's random decree, Ruler, please think about it carefully! "
Zong Shou's face flushed red, the golden chair in his hand slowly turned into a fried dough twist.
This damn old man actually came to reject his intentions. What was he trying to do?
What he said made sense, but where would Zong Shou's face go?
He had tolerated this fellow for so long!
"Apart from that, what else did he say?"
Ren Tianxing's heart pounded as he felt the chilling pressure coming from the hall.
He thought to himself, Uncle, Uncle, what are you thinking? What if the Ruler gets angry and cuts off your head?
There was a reason why he banned the Taoist Faction. Those Taoist Faction Cultivators were asking for death. There was no need to anger the Ruler over such a small matter.
Zhang Huai's eyes seemed to close slightly. Thinking about it, he said honestly, "He said that Ruler's actions are just to use the chance to attack the Taoist Faction. He wants to cut off their power in the secular world and take back the land of the various temples to increase the strength of our Gantian Mountain. Although this policy is good, there is no need to drag down the innocent. If our Gantian Mountain has sinners, we will punish them if we don't punish them. We are not far from the destruction of our country. If we are worried about the various temples causing trouble, we just need to use methods to make them willingly break away from the control of Daoling Vast Habitat. Sowing discord, heavy taxes, and even showing allegiance are all good methods … "
Kong Yao frowned. If the Ruler's power couldn't be extended, this was the true sign of a country being destroyed, right?
She couldn't help but gloat as she looked towards Zong Shou. What happened today was all because of Zong Shou's actions! He couldn't blame anyone else …
Who knows how Zong Shou would deal with it? Kill Renbo with one knife? Impossible. On account of Ren Tianxing's face, he would definitely let him live.
However, he wouldn't have a good time. No Ruler would be able to accept Renbo's actions.
Zong Shou was in deep thought. A moment later he gritted his teeth, "Then let's split it into two decrees and let the Meeting Hall discuss it …"
He was really unwilling in his heart as he gritted his teeth. If this happened again, then he really couldn't take it.
The dozens of people here were startled when they heard that. Then, they came back to their senses. Zong Shou was actually giving in.
He actually didn't do anything to Renbo.
Zhang Huai's eyes flashed and then he and Ren Tianxing bowed deeply. They were really sincere and respectful.
Zong Shou was a little confused as he looked at his chest. That red gem actually floated up from his chest and shone with a red light.
This time it made one feel annoyed.
Kong Yao was speechless but at the same time, she felt at ease. She thought to herself that she had to ask her father to help. This treasure probably wouldn't be able to suppress the Ruler's King Energy. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
