Donglin Cloud Continent, Xuexun City. This place was 3,000 miles away from Rainbow City, 3,400 miles away from Gantian Mountain. Close to the cloud ocean, back to the plains, the roads spread in all directions.
Especially in recent years, it had prospered and developed, becoming a port only second to Rainbow City.
However, at this moment, the south of Xuexun City was blazing with flames. Countless cries and wails could be heard for dozens of miles, and they were mournful.
At this moment, above the city, a bunch of blood-colored cavalry were galloping like lightning.
They were going all out to chase the tens of Taoists who were leaving.
A few of them were heavily injured, but they could still barely hold on. His unbridled and arrogant laughter shook the surroundings.
Zong Yuan's brows rose up, his narrow Phoenix eyes filled with rage. A spear in his hand suddenly flew out. It instantly crossed hundreds of thousands of feet, blood and lightning glow flashing as it directly exploded the body of one of the Taoists into meat and blood! It caused the laughter to stop.
However, just as they chased close to the cloud ocean, Zong Yuan frowned and stopped.
It wasn't that they couldn't catch up, but that they weren't willing to be lured away from the mountain by the enemy.
Although he wasn't the commander of the Blood Cloud Cavalry, he was in charge of all the cavalry of Gantian Mountain. Naturally, he knew what was more important. The losses couldn't be recovered, and the most important thing now was to ensure that there weren't more casualties.
Just as those people in the distance slowly disappeared from their field of vision. A Taoist walked out from the cloud mist, standing still 500 thousand feet away.
Zong Yuan didn't attack. During these few days, he knew that this person was tough to deal with. It wasn't that he couldn't win, but that this person's movement technique was really weird. He was also really good at space, able to easily escape each time.
As time went on, if Zong Yuan didn't have full confidence in facing this person, he wasn't willing to waste any more effort.
He found it slightly weird, why did this person appear alone?
"I am Zi Guizi, please meet me Inspector Kong …"
Meet Kong Yao?
Sōmorime's suspicion grew thicker and thicker. However, before he could think about it, he felt a person stepping into the air from within Xuexun City.
Without needing to look, he knew that it was Kong Yao.
Dressed in refined silver armor, he looked valiant and formidable. Her brows were tightly furrowed and her limpid eyes were also filled with anger.
"I am Kong Yao!"
Then, he asked, "The civilians are innocent. Don't you think your actions these days are too much?"
Even she believed that one should be unscrupulous when it came to war. However, the act of slaughtering civilians was also unacceptable.
"Those who achieve great things don't bother about trifles! If not, how would we shake the foundations of Gantian Mountain? Even with Marshal Kong's wisdom, he is actually so pedantic. This is truly unexpected. "
Zigui broke out into a laugh, he didn't feel embarrassed, "Moreover, this matter isn't something that Zigui can decide. Zigui has no choice but to follow the orders of the Vast Habitat. "
Kong Yao laughed coldly and shook her head. "As far as I know, sixty percent of the people in Snow Cloud City are Daoists. Half of the people who died today believed in your Jade Clear lineage … "
"If you don't know fear, how can you be virtuous? Our Taoist Faction wants to make our believers feel grateful and also make them respect our methods. That is the way to go. "
As he said that expressionlessly, a weird glow flashed in his eyes as he looked up and down at Kong Yao.
"Let's not talk about this matter! How boring. They are just some insignificant bugs, so what if they die. In your eyes, it's just a simple number. There's no need to put on an act. Zigui came here just to see you. I have always been curious about the female commander who is better than me in terms of strategy and planning. What kind of person is she and what kind of woman is she? Seeing you today, I am really not disappointed. "
Kong Yao frowned once more. She really didn't like the frivolous intent in his words.
"In this battle, I lost by half a step. Kong Yao, your real and illusionary switching techniques are really used to the extreme. Yesterday, these four thousand Blood Cavalry were east of Donglin and were about to head towards Cloud Saint. Today, they silently returned to Gantian Mountain. You also placed two hundred thousand troops in Xuexun City. If it weren't for the fact that I had taken precautions beforehand, I'm afraid that we would have all died here today. "
Zigui smiled warmly, looking with interest at Xuexun City which was still burning with flames.
Suddenly his tone changed, his expression was filled with passion as he looked at Kong Yao.
"You are that Zong Shou's concubine? Why are you still a virgin? "
One sentence caused everyone here to be startled. Zigui's words were also filled with a little charm.
"Why not become dao companions with me? In these two hundred and thirty-three years, I have never met a girl that made my heart move. You, Kong Yao, are the first … "
The killing intent on Zong Yuan's face was extremely thick. He didn't allow anyone to offend Zong Shou, including his concubines.
After serving under Kong Yao for close to a year, he was deeply impressed by her ability and wouldn't allow others to insult her.
On the side of Kong Yao, her face was ice cold as she spoke, "Dao companion? Who do you think you are? Can you even compare to a single toe of my husband's? I, Kong Yao, can't do anything to you, but if my husband finds out, he will slice off your tongue and feed it to the dogs! Today, the Taoist Faction has wiped out twenty-five sects. Who knows if that Daoling Vast Habitat can protect you? "
Zigui's face changed, alternating between green and white. Then, he laughed softly, "That Monster King's actions are indeed unexpected. However, now that the situation has been formed, how can one person change the situation? Within three months, Gantian Mountain will definitely be wiped out. Zong Shou won't be able to survive. Kong Yao, you are intelligent and wouldn't know. Don't you want to find a way out for you and your father? "
When Kong Yao heard this, her face gave out an unusually bright smile, "Yesterday, my father looked at the sky. He said that there is an Emperor Star invading the south. Today, your Taoist Faction might face a large scale blood calamity, there might be signs of someone dying … "
Zigui was startled. Kong Yao's father, Kong Rui, he had heard of this name before.
He was good at divination and was famous in the Taishang long ago in the Imperial Capital. In the past year, his reputation in the world of cultivators had risen rapidly. He was on the same level as that Zhongxuan.
Legend had it that this person had a bet with Zhongxuan to end Kong Yao's life. In the end, Kong Rui won.
No one would have thought that after Kong Yao took control of a million troops, she couldn't be stopped.
Against many, against the Night Demon Army, she was able to hold on and not lose. In the end, she broke the Night Demon Army at the foot of Seven Cloud Mountain and gained the title of Commander.
During these few days, she fought with the Taoist Faction and lived up to her name.
Dozens of times, she caused the Taoist Faction to suffer heavy losses. They had no choice but to restrain their actions and not be so unrestrained.
Did Kong Rui make such a claim? Was Kong Yao talking nonsense?
Zigui's eyes were filled with doubt.
The so-called Person Master, in a country, was the Ruler of a country. In their Daoling Vast Habitat, if the Taoist Venerable wasn't here, then naturally it could only be referring to the Vast Habitat Palace Head Wu Xu.
However, how was that possible? Not to mention that Wu Xu had only been in charge of the palace these few hundred years, making plans and directing troops. He had never personally come to war and had never stepped out of Daoling Vast Habitat.
Even if he personally acted, he would only do so when he was 100% confident.
He was really clear about the personality of his Senior Brother. He was so calm that no one could threaten him and no one could infuriate him. No one could shake his heart, he was like a stone Buddha.
Scoffing coldly, Zigui was about to mock a few more words. However, his heart moved and he felt the few auras around getting closer.
He scoffed furiously and turned around and stepped into the void.
When Kong Yao saw this, she felt slightly regretful. She waved her sleeves and the few Spirit Realm Cultivators who were getting close all scattered.
At this moment, Zong Yuan kept the halberd in his hand and dashed over. His eyes flashed as he looked expressionlessly below.
"How many people died this time?"
"Around 23,000 commoners, the details are unknown."
Kong Yao's expression turned serious and she laughed bitterly, "200,000 elites, most of them are heavily injured. Fuling Sect also lost a Spirit Realm Expert."
This time it was her fault. Who knew that the Taoist Faction would send out as many as 20 Spirit Realm Experts. As for Grade-9 Experts, they sent out 120. Their preparations weren't enough.
Zong Yuan was silent. This time they killed 13 people, 3 Spirit Realm Experts.
Logically speaking, it was worth it. However, things couldn't be calculated like that. Today, both sides suffered heavy losses.
At this moment, Kong Yao shook her head, "Actually, if Ruler returns, we just need to hold on for a year. Then, the Central Cloud Continent will change. At that time, the Taoist Faction won't have time to care about Donglin … "
Zong Yuan nodded his head when he heard this. He also knew that the Central Cloud Continent was like a barrel of gunpowder that could fall into chaos at any moment.
A year ago, they used the Donglin matter. That Yuanchen Emperor removed the Yang Family Minister position and even wanted to take away their land. He also suppressed those few aristocratic families in the Central Cloud Continent.
Zong Yuan roughly knew what he was thinking. He wanted to force them to revolt. In his life, before the true chaos started, he wanted to deal with these aristocratic families that could threaten the throne.
However, because of this, the Central Cloud Continent situation was on the verge of exploding.
The Hidden Guards also found out news. Within the Imperial Capital, it seemed like the previous generation Emperor Race had appeared.
Once the Central Cloud Continent war started, no matter how unwilling the Taoist Faction was, they had to settle down the inner court before they cared about anything else.
"Ruler is the kind of person who only takes hits and doesn't fight back, allowing others to play with him."
As he said that, Zong Yuan's expression was a little complicated.
"His Highness is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He definitely won't sit still and watch people die because of him."
Kong Yao laughed. Cold on the outside but warm on the inside? She already knew about it when she was at Lianyun Island.
He got angry over a few million lives and in the end made a simple matter so complicated.
This was the Saint Ruler …
If it was that Emperor, he wouldn't care at all.
This caused her to be restricted and unable to use many methods.
For example, today, if she was a little more vicious. If she set up the Demon Path Blood Sacrifice Formation and borrowed the blood essence of those tens of thousands of people, it would be enough to leave behind more Taoist Faction Spirit Realm experts.
However, if that fellow found out, he definitely wouldn't be happy …
Her eyes flashed as she looked into the distance. She thought back to what Kong Rui said to her before.
Taoist Faction Blood Calamity, the fall of the Human Master, was that true?
Based on what her father said, he used the Saint King Fate to nourish his body and his cultivation improved greatly. However, could Wu Xu really fall?
Kong Yao shook her head in disbelief. (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.)
