Chapter 1058: Setting A Trap To Kill Gods

When the first streak of sunlight shone into the non existent Jade Valley, Zhu Zi’s body had already retreated from the area.

At the same time, those few Saint Realm Cultivators disappeared. They didn’t escape in terror but they didn’t look like they were in a good state.

“You all can level out Jade Valley and I can cut off your heads! I, the ignorant Ruler, am just waiting for all of you to attack me!”

Zong Shou’s words still lingered in their ears. However, at this moment, no one dared to easily take on the Common People’s Seven Swords.

Zhu Zi left without making a sound. The moment he left, the Buddhist Faction Amidtaba incarnation and Sword Sect’s Taiqing God Venerable all turned into light and left.

Even the outer region void became calm. Those few End Realm Experts all disappeared.

That was because both sides were on the same level, the three factions even had some advantage, but they weren’t much stronger. If they went all out, it was still 50/50.

No matter which side won, they would have to suffer heavy losses.

It wouldn’t benefit either side if they continued to fight. The best solution was to stop.

“Zong Shou, you kid! Today, 18 million troops have come here. A few days from now, when we sweep the south, I would like to see if you can still be as arrogant as today!”

A furious holler spread out from afar.

Zong Shou laughed coldly and was too lazy to bother with him. Why would he bother about the words an unhappy dog who lost his home? He just wanted to get his face back.

With a slash, yet another sword glow landed. It struck the original Jade Valley, drawing out a 1,000 mile long, 10,000-foot deep and 100-mile wide sword mark.

A giant crevice spread between the two armies, splitting them apart.

At this moment, Zong Shou felt really weird. In the past, he felt that the 7,000-mile Evil Spirit Moat outside Gantian Mountain was unbelievable.

However, today he too had the ability to move mountains and shift land.

Even if he didn’t use this Sword Formation, he would be able to do that. If he was willing, with a sword slash, he would be able to break apart this Henglian Mountain Range.

The only thing was that if he destroyed too much, he would definitely incur Cause and Effect. Affecting the energy in the area would even cause the Heavens to drop punishment on him.

With a thought, the God Refined Sword flew back. The Common People’s Seven Swords all split up.

Zong Shou slowly descended and landed beside Kong Yao who had been looking at the battle.

At this moment, cheers rose up all around the camp. The troops were pumped up. Even if one was dumb, one knew that their side was on the ascendency in the fight just now.

Zong Shou looked around and saw the worry on the faces of many fade and he heaved a sigh of relief.

With Jade Valley disappearing, he was really worried that the morale of his troops would be affected.

“After this battle, End Realm won’t act. The agreement 10,000 years ago is still valid.”

Although the few End Realm Saint Venerables didn’t speak just now, but they used their Spiritual Sense to come to a consensus.

People above Saint Realm couldn’t interfere in any way.

Kong Yao’s brow rose up in slight surprise.

“So easily?”

The Confucian Faction took a loss today. Two Saint Realms fell under Zong Shou’s sword. In comparison, this Jade Valley being leveled out wasn’t much.

However, Zhu Zi retreated cleanly, not arguing at all.

“How so? They had no choice!”

Zong Shou broke into a laugh. If they wanted to fight, both sides would end up with heavy casualties. However, Zhu Zi and Qingxuan were really clear that even if all died here, Xiuguan would still live.

How was the Eternal Dao something they could underestimate?

His survival skills were even stronger than Xi Zi. If one couldn’t use absolute strength to slash away at his foundations, it was pretty much impossible to seal and wipe out Xiuguan.

It was definitely the reason why he was able to threaten all the sects all on his own.

As Zong Shou said this, he looked at the moat in front of him with slight regret.

What a waste, that was the most he could do now. Compared to the natural environment on the Jade Valley before, this was still much weaker.

“We can at most block the enemy here for three days. Kong’er, you should consider how to retreat the troops from here!”

“I had such intentions long ago!”

Kong Yao was really confident and wasn’t dejected at all.

“Even without the changes today, I would also choose to retreat tomorrow. We can at most defend here for 10 days, and each day the casualties will increase. It is not the best place to block the enemy.”

Kong Yao said with melancholy while looking opposite.

That General Feiyin was her superior a few years ago.

When they clashed these few days, the way he used troops was still so vicious and couldn’t be underestimated.

She thought back to matters of the past. At that time, among the generals in the north, she was the only one not regarded highly by his general.

That was because she often used the most resources and obtained the least in victories. Although she always won and never had any defeats, she was often scolded by Feiyin.

Just like that, even she started to doubt herself, she thought that maybe she really didn’t have any commanding talents.

Until she met Zong Shou, who handed over those million troops to her without any hesitation at all.

What happened then could be looked at and laughed upon, but in her heart, she still found it really unfair.

That person scolded her several times that she was dumb and useless.

The best way to get back at him would be on the battlefield, to crush him head-on and scold him back.

She then shook her head and collected her feelings. She broke into a laugh and mocked herself, so there were times when even she felt that way.

Women truly were petty.

“If we utilize the navy victory well, 3.2 million troops will be able to block all of them. There is no need to tangle with them. Actually, just now, I was worried about those Saint Realm cultivators attacking without any restraint. Casually moving a mountain, stopping a river, that would be problematic.”

Great Gan had run things well over the years and everywhere in the south was connected by water. There were 120 Five Tooth Cloud Ships alone.

The Great Shang navy was unable to enter, so naturally the Great Gan fleet would be at the upper hand.

However, if the Saint Realm Venerables interfered, they could easily break the naval passages. At that point, although their navy was strong, there was nothing they could do.

Since they dared to level out Jade Straits, those few people would definitely dare to do such things.

Zong Shou was also worried about that and knew that Zhu Zi had attacked just to probe.

However, once Zong Shou and Common People’s Path could no longer block, those kinds of things would happen.

Of course, it was okay now. Looking at how Kong Yao was so confident and composed, he was in a daze. Kong Yao was originally a top beauty and her body was really petite. Now that she wore a silver armor, she looked more and more beautiful like a flower that was out of this world. One would just look at it, not getting sick even after a hundred gazes.

Thinking back to yesterday how she held tightly to him, he sighed, feeling a little regretful.

Zhu Zi really came at the wrong time. Why not a day or two later? Why did he have to be in such a rush?

Kong Yao also noticed that burning gaze from Zong Shou and guessed his thoughts, her face turned red.

“You pervert! Wasn’t last night enough? Do you still want me to accompany you every day?”

Zong Shou kept silent and didn’t reply, giving a smile with deep meaning. If he continued to provoke her, who knew how long it was going to continue?

Kong Yao was both ashamed and annoyed, panic rose up in her heart. Thinking about how if those few Saint Realms weren’t attacking, she would still lay in his arms and be unwilling to get out. She wouldn’t be able to escape out of his palms at all.

However, she wasn’t willing to admit defeat like that as she scoffed, avoiding his gaze in case she totally fell into the illusion of those fox eyes.

“During these few years, I have fought in the south, and I have made many races submit. Although the land is fertile, most tribes are extremely poor and have nothing. However, to express their willingness to join us, they sent their most beautiful girls over for you. I didn’t dare to make a decision and didn’t reject, so I kept them, waiting for you to deal with them after you return…”

Zong Shou was filled with doubt. Why did her tone sound more and more wrong?

Sent girls? He wasn’t a perverted Ruler and he needed swordsmen right now, not women.

Moreover, Xuanyuan Yiren and Kong Yao were top beauties, how could he have room in his heart for other girls?

Even if Zhao Yanran looked good, he was never tempted before.

Kong Yao knew his personality and should have rejected, why didn’t she dare to do so? What was she doing?

“A month ago, I sent 300,000 strong men to build a palace for you at God Falling Plains.”

Zong Shou was now even more confused and didn’t know what she meant. She continued, “With me here, we can block Great Shang. Since husband has nothing to do, why not head to the palace to have fun with those girls?”

He was stunned and then he reacted, “In other words, you are using me as bait?”

Kong Yao’s watery eyes curled into a wide smile.

“There are other methods but they are too much of a bother. This plan is the most simple one. Husband, your reputation is already so bad, so you wouldn’t mind right.”

Zong Shou thought about it seriously and it did make sense.

While both sides were fighting, he was far away and enjoying the beautiful girls of the few races, having fun in the luxurious palace.

No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like what an Ignorant Ruler would do.

Those Confucian Faction members would be happy to see that. To kill him, they would help them fulfill Zhu Zi’s orders.

God Falling Plains was far away from the battlefield, but it was also the best place for elite troops to ambush.

“This plan is not appropriate!”

Zong Shou shook his head without hesitation. He didn’t care about his reputation, but there was no need to do so to make it even worse.

“Is that so?”

Kong Yao wasn’t disappointed and said leisurely, “A few days ago, Sister Yiren sent a letter to me. She said that Great Gan said that you didn’t take concubines because you can’t get close to women? Husband seemed to care about that a lot…”

The moment she said this, his face turned green.
