"Although I don't know how to rule, that person was able to rule 6 states at 20 years old. He has millions of troops under him, good governance and peaceful people. How can such a person be a mediocre ruler? "
"Don't let the Confucian Faction teachers hear that."
Zigui sighed when he heard that. Actually, just looking at Gantian Mountain City, the ability of the ruler couldn't be underestimated.
He was also really clear about the strength of the Night Demons. Even if it was just a remnant army, it was enough to destroy a small world.
For Gantian Mountain to be able to go up against them for several months and even wipe them out was really shocking.
"We are like fire and water with Gantian Mountain, Wu Xu is to blame! Taking revenge with grievances, being short-sighted and not worthy of being the ruler of the Vast Habitat … "
He let out a cold snort with a hint of dissatisfaction. Zigui's brows rose as he looked into the distance.
Only to see that at the corner of the street, a muscular person was also looking over.
He was 12 feet tall, with the waist of a bear and back of a tiger, like a mountain as he stood there.
In Gantian Mountain City, there were many muscular and tall cultivators. The person in front of him was mixed in the crowd and wasn't really eye-catching.
Zigui noticed this person right away. First, a killing intent appeared, then it was restrained.
"It is Yuanshi Demon Sect's Hai Shangjun. Qingming, it seems like your old opponent has returned."
When Zigui said that, his lips curled up, "I heard that Yuanshi Demon Sect had 2 disciples who died near the Third Dragon Hall. I always suspected that it was done by Zong Shou. It seems like this Hai Shangjun most probably came because of the Monster King's Heaven Barrier Tribulation. "
The muscular man in the distance didn't seem like he had any intention of staying. He looked at them coldly before turning around and leaving. At the same time, a smile appeared on their faces. It was meaningful and cruel.
"That should be the case! 200 years of not seeing him, his cultivation is becoming more and more hard to predict. "
Qingming nodded slightly, her eyes shining, "Is it really appropriate to work with the Demon Sect?"
"How can it be considered working together? We are just fighting our own battles. "
Zigui shook his head disapprovingly. Then he was slightly curious, "The number one demon king in the sword path, the number one in the talisman path three hundred years ago, and this former number three in the demon path. I wonder which of the three of you is stronger? Will that Zong Shou be able to deal with us? "
"How can Qingming compare herself to him?"
Qingming broke into a laugh and mocked herself, "When I was in the Cloud World, I wasn't as famous as him. Qing Ming knew that she was far from being able to suppress all heroes and be unrivalled in this world. Forty percent of Spirit and Martial Arts as One was something Qing Ming was unable to achieve. He could only rely on his 300 years of bitter cultivation and tempering in the outer realms. However, even compared to Zong Shou, who was more than three hundred years older, he still did not have much confidence. This person's strength in Donglin was close to the Immortal Realm. However, you and I are restricted by the Cloud World and can't use it … "
"That's why you and I need to come back! If it was other Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, they wouldn't be able to go up against him. Actually, we don't need to worry too much. Although our Daoling Vast Habitat didn't use up all the strength of the various sects. However, at this moment, the strength that the Cloud World can use is going all out … "
Just as he said that, the two of them suddenly looked towards the east, their brows furrowing, "Is it the Death Wave?"
Exchanging glances with one another, Zigui scoffed coldly, "The Death Gate opening means that the Nine Yin Death Witch in the east is descending. If we can't stop her, blood will spread for a thousand miles. At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Seal is lacking a corner. The Spiritual Wave will rise in a few days. The Heavens are helping our Taoist Faction! "
Following this, he had an idea. In the distance, countless armored soldiers were surging over like a tide.
Dozens of relatively strong Spiritual Senses passed through this place one after another.
"So there are still people in this world who know about me!"
Laughing out loud, Zigui took a step and disappeared from the spot.
Qingming shook his head slightly. At the start he felt that it was best not to use his real name.
Forget it! It might not be a bad thing to alert the enemy.
It would be best if they could alert Zong Shou. If they couldn't, it would also be a good idea to make the garrison here suspicious of everything.
No matter how smart a person was, as long as they felt danger and pressure, as long as they panicked, they might make mistakes …
A sharp glow flashed in his eyes as he followed closely behind Zigui and left the place.
When the thousands of soldiers rushed over, the people here were nowhere to be seen.
※ ※ ※
Driving the Royal Demon God Shuttle, Zong Shou used just three days to fly above the Demon Corpse Mountain.
The Yin Mist here had already spread outside of Blood Valley, covering thousands of miles.
The Yin Death Energy wasn't any weaker. Half of the mountain range was covered by it.
Although Zong Shou was prepared and had placed many troops in Cloud Saint City, he couldn't get close at all.
Looking below, thinking back to what happened a few years ago, Zong Shou instantly sighed.
Not long after he arrived, the original Cloud Saint City Lord, one of the few Governor Xu Zhengyuan also flew over.
Half a year ago, this person also broke through to Grade-7 and could travel in the air.
At this moment, he stood behind Zong Shou, his face filled with worry.
"Three days ago, the Yin Death Energy here suddenly exploded. Who knows what the reason was … "
He bowed, "I am at fault. I was afraid that the change here was a sign that the Death Witch was reviving, which was why I acted on my own accord. I evacuated all the people within 3,000 miles. However, looking at the situation, it is already too late. "
"This is an emergency. I should be the one thanking you. Why would I blame you?"
Zong Shou nodded slightly, looking at where Gong Xinran was buried.
Although the place was covered in Yin Mist, it couldn't block his Spiritual Eyes.
Everything there was the same as when he had buried Gong Xinran. The only exception was the shocking dark red bloodstain on the tombstone.
Sensing the ground, there were a full 81 Yin Veins gathered here.
The tomb was like an incomparably strong heart. These Yin Veins were like blood vessels. They were swallowing and spitting out the Yin Death Energy in an orderly manner.
If one listened carefully, one could hear the sound of a heartbeat within the tomb.
At the start, it wasn't really there, but if one listened for a long time, it started to shake. It was like a drum, shaking one's heart.
Zong Shou instantly felt a throbbing pain at the corner of his head. Looking at the situation, Gong Xinran was really about to be born.
As expected, as Jin Buhui said, this wasn't a normal Nine Yin Death Witch.
Looking at Gong Xinran's tomb, it was about to totally connect the Life and Death Worlds.
"Did you send anyone in to take a look? Were there any abnormalities these few days? "
"We didn't dare to slack off!"
Xu Zhengyuan frowned, "It has always been like this, but 3 days ago, the Death Energy suddenly exploded. At this moment, Grade-3 and below would instantly die. Grade-4 Xiantian would only be able to come in contact for a short while. Even I don't dare to go in. I really don't know what is going on inside … "
Zong Shou's brows furrowed into a single character and then relaxed.
"Send my orders for the surrounding troops to retreat."
The Death Energy here had accumulated for many years and was simply too abundant. Normal people couldn't even get close, so naturally, they couldn't interfere.
If they stayed here, they would just be asking to die.
Only Grade-5 and above would be fine.
At this moment, the Blood Cloud Cavalry was still in Huizhou. Within Gantian Mountain City, there were only a thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry and two thousand Black Fox Iron Cavalry.
These two elites needed to be suppressed in Gantian Mountain City to defend against the experts of the various sects and couldn't leave easily.
This time, they were really caught off guard.
After saying this, Zong Shou abandoned Xu Zhengyuan and stepped into the mist alone.
The Nether Death Energy within the mist was indeed extremely strong. Normal Grade-5 experts, even if they didn't use it, would instantly turn into dry bones. However, if they stayed for too long, they would lose a portion of their lifespan.
Zong Shou was already used to this, not bothering at all as he traveled in the mist.
He had grasped the Styx River Death Sword and experienced Death Energy that was dozens of times thicker than this. Naturally, he didn't fear the Death Energy here.
Within 1,000 miles of this Demon Corpse Mountain, there were no living beings. Even the grass and trees were all withered.
The ground was covered in a thin layer of ice.
Around him, there were numerous gazes that were looking over from afar.
Looking out, it was all jumping Yin Flames.
Although there were no living beings, there were many dead things that could move. Most of them were decomposing beast corpses and some were white and dry bones.
However, maybe because the area around Demon Corpse Mountain had no birds or beasts. Zong Shou was also prepared and locked down this place.
These dead things were all really low grade and didn't pose a threat to him. Until Zong Shou walked in front of the tombstone, there wasn't a single dead thing that dared to provoke him.
These Death Beasts mostly didn't have any intelligence. However, they could judge the strength and weakness. Just based on the strong Sword Suppression that Zong Shou spread out, it was enough to make them wary.
Looking at the words on the tombstone, Senior Sister Gong Xinran's blood. Zong Shou was in a daze once more.
… This was the person he fell in love with in the past.
In the past, he thought that he was Tan Qiu. Although he pitied Gong Xinran's fate, he didn't feel much about this girl.
However, at this moment, he already knew his true identity.
The so-called Tan Qiu was just Zong Weiran gathering his soul and using the power of the Book of Eon to enter another Zong Shou ten thousand years later.
Thinking back to the various things that happened in Linhai College, Zong Shou's eyes were filled with melancholy.
Then, he came back to his senses.
Even if Gong Xinran could wake up, she wouldn't be that gentle and caring senior sister who took care of him.
Zong Shou wasn't that young teen anymore. His Heart Realm definitely wouldn't return to a few years ago.
Sighing, Zong Shou injected spiritual energy into his eyes and looked into the tomb.
However, he couldn't see Gong Xinran's body. He could only see a ball of yin mist within the tomb.
Just as Zong Shou's spiritual sense was about to pierce through the yin mist. Inside the stone tomb, there was an extremely cold Divine Sense that pierced into the depths of his Yuan Soul like an awl.
Zong Shou's brow rose up and he retracted his gaze. He also blocked out this spiritual sense.
Then, he stood on the spot and kept silent.
That spiritual sense just now was Gong Xinran?
It was ice cold, filled with violence, not like a living person …
It was indeed a dead person. (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.)
