Chapter 322: Chapter 322 Rage Fills the Stomach

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

At this moment, within the building, although there were 3 more assassins, they weren’t in the Xuanwu ancestor realm so no one cared. No one also felt that these 3 would pose any threat.

Everyone gathered their eyes on the corpse of Yue Guanyu. Some had mocking eyes, some with pity, and some were filled disbelief, everyone’s eyes were complicated.

Qiao Han was dumbfounded and felt out of sorts. He thought to himself that the overlord who had once ruled the west of Donglin for close to 20 years, the king of the west ocean, really just died like that? What an amusing way to die…

Not only was Qian Han astonished, but the 4 city lords who didn’t know what to do when the assassination began were all at a loss.

With the Xuanshui City lord Luo Shui at the lead, the 4 of them had other reasons for suggested making themselves directly under Gantian Mountain, they had no choice.

But personally witnessing Zong Shou receive the sword empty-handed and not be hurt, on the contrary, that mighty lord of a generation. Taoyun City lord who was famous for many years was instead slain by one sword. They didn’t know whether or not they should feel happy and fortunate for themselves.

During that moment, they originally thought that Zong Shou was going to die. In their heart, they were also feeling regretful. However, a moment later, the situation had turned completely beyond what they had expected.

So the new Gantian master, the teen ruler, apart from being a strategic genius and a great schemer, also had martial arts at such a high realm! He was so strong that even a peak grade 9 Xuanwu ancestor like Taoyun City lord Yue Guanyun couldn’t even give a single blow to Zong Shou.

As for the king path secret technique that Qiao Han said, they had heard about it before. Borrowing the power of a country, the strength of the army. However no matter what, this was Zong Shou’s ability!

The 4 of them thought back to all those preposterous rumors from before like what Qiao Han did. Now that they thought about it, 90% of it might be true,

His highness hid everything deeply, hiding so many treasures and skills. Hiding within that thin frail body was a top-class talent. Just a flash of it caused everyone to feel a chill down their spine.

He had just comprehended solely the king path secret technique and his ability could suppress Yue Guanyun by several times, however, he didn’t show off his strength for such a long time. To think this newly appointed monster king was willing to stay hidden and silent for so long!

Thinking about it now, the Taoyun City lord was such a joke! He rushed over to assassinate him before he was clear about the situation. Wasn’t that just tantamount to him just smashing head-on onto Zong Shou’s knife?

After slaying Yue Guanyun, the vital energy within Zong Shou’s body was unable to calm down. Although it wasn’t a big problem, as his dual meridians were impacted by Yue Guanyun’s sword energy, they were showing signs of conflicting with one another. He coughed out several times like his lungs and heart was getting torn apart. He had no choice, using that person to try his new enemy suppression methods naturally came with some consequences.

After a few breaths, he barely recovered. He didn’t bother about the other few Xuanwu ancestors on this floor, allowing Zong Yuan and the others to deal with them. He just walked slowly towards Lin Ji who was in disbelief, shocked that his lord had already died. His eyes were really cold. Then, a sword light slashed out, directly beheading that person.

When the blood light splattered, Zong Shou didn’t even bother to take a look. Once the building calmed down, he mocked himself, “It seems like keeping a low profile did have some benefits. This Yue Guanyun could be considered one of the biggest problems of mine. I was just fretting about not having a method to deal with him, who knew he would run in front of me by himself…”

“Scoff! He was asking to die! To think he was able to hold the throne of Taoyun City, being called by many as a mighty lord. I have never seen someone as dumb as him!”

Zhao Yanran said snappishly. Even when her tone was dark and weird, her body language was still really moving, “To think you can still smile. You knew you might be assassinated and still dared to be so careless, allowing them to search for this chance. You are lucky. Although this person doesn’t know king path martial arts, he is good at using the strength of army formations. Luckily his thousands of ships have been buried and he couldn’t borrow strength if not whoever wins and loses today was not certain. Forget it, I am in no position to scold you. I can only ask, how are you going to deal with this?”

She suddenly remembered that even she was careless and didn’t expect this assassination. Her face turned slightly red.

Zong Shou mocked inwardly, wasn’t this matter also because of you Zhao Yanran? If you didn’t make stupid rumors, my name would have stunned everyone. How will I attract so many problems?

His brows furrowed as he took in a deep breath. A moment later Zong Shou opened his mouth once more, “this Yue Guanyun tried to assassinate me but failed, dying in the hands of Zong Yuan. He asked for it. It seems like the other sects won’t have anything to say…”

When Zong Yuan heard that, the corner of his lips twitched. He was going to have to bear the blame for his ruler once more. With his strength alone, he killed Yue Guanyun? Would others believe that? However, he didn’t show anything on his face, just expressionlessly nodding his head.

Then Zong Shou looked towards Qiao Han. This was a huge problem too. Was he going to have to kill him to keep the secret? This person was not a bad person.

A moment later Zong Shou changed his mind, thinking that he could just not hide the fact that he knows martial arts. As long as people don’t know he’s from the demon path, a disciple of the common people path.

Before Wei Xu left he mentioned that a month later would be when the dragon gate opens and they view the remnant image left by the martial saint.

This was the only few times one could increase their strength greatly before the spiritual wave arrives. He would not miss the chance to comprehend martial intent.

Thinking about it, Zong Shou smiled, his eyes flashing a bright glow, “Forget it! Just say that I killed him! Hang up all these corpses and let those people with nefarious intentions see, see that I’m not a person they can bully. I want to take a look at what their expression is now.”

Whilst he said that anger built up within his chest.

In the last life, no one could scheme against him and not pay the price. It was the same too in this life!

That Lingyun Long Ruo seems unwilling for his Gantian Mountain City to continue growing. The other sects seem to hate him either because he was rich or because of Ying Dragon Valley and Zong Weiran.

This time he was angered greatly!

They didn’t want him to expand, not allowing him to own Ying Dragon Valley? Then he would purposely go against their wishes!

Qiao Han originally felt his heart turn cold. It wasn’t until Zong Shou said those few sentences did he heaved a sigh of relief.

However, he felt a chill strike him. For some reason, he felt a violent energy wrap around Zong Shou. His eyes turned red, threatening one’s heart and mind.

…

Several miles away, in another building, Xiong Ba and Feng Nu we’re sitting opposite one another.

In front of them were many delicacies and celestial brew. However, the 2 of them didn’t bother with it. They waited quietly like they were waiting for a piece of certain news.

They looked expressionless but from their breathing and tightly clenched hands, one could tell that they weren’t calm and were anxious instead.

Looking outside of the window, at the seven-story building miles away, Xiong Ba’s brows were tightly clenched. He filled his cup full of wine as he was deep in thought.

“Brother Feng, what do you think the outcome will be this time with Yue Guanyun going over?”

Feng Nu’s expression changed slightly and he came back to his senses from being deep in thought. Before he replied, he glanced towards the fleet from Gantian Mountain.

“I think Gu Liekong, Zhu Junhou, and Ling Fakong are still on the ship and haven’t noticed anything. Without them there, there isn’t anyone beside Zong Shou that is his match. Who knows maybe Zong Shou has already died under his hands now. Now he just needs to handle everything cleanly…”

Xiong Ba’s brows were still frowning tight. Although he drank the wine, he had no idea what it tasted like.

“Why do I feel that this time another situation will pop up? This attempt by Yue Guanyun wouldn’t be so simple…”

When Feng Nu heard that, he was slightly shocked. A bad feeling had risen in his heart just now. He felt that this carefully planned assassination might not be smoothly executed.

Who knows whether or not it was because this matter was hugely important…

Unfortunately that Kongqi Sect building looked open but it was actually filled with many formations and was tightly guarded. Normal cultivators under grade 7 would not know what the situation inside was.

“How is that possible?”

Involuntarily laughing, Feng Nu tossed aside all thoughts and changed the topic,”

This time Yue Guanyun went alone. I feel that we have let him down. The life and death of that Zong Shou didn’t just concern his city.”

“It indeed isn’t. But if Zong Shout returns the one that loses the most would be his Taoyun City!”

Xiong Ba laugher coldly. If he was told that Feng Nu felt guilty, he wouldn’t believe it. He was just faking it and acting mercifully.

“If he dies, the one that benefits most would still be Taoyun City. So if he doesn’t go who would?”

When he said those words, Xiong Ba suddenly felt much better, the worry in his heart lessening by a lot.

Thinking about it, maybe it was really because he was too nervous. If Zong Shou lives Blazing Flame Mountain night at least lose a Province. If it was more serious they might fall.

If Zong Shou dies, not only would the crisis be solved, they could take the chance to rise.

The life and death this kid concerned the situation west of Donglin, so how could they not mind?

Just as they were calculating in their heart, waiting for news to spread back and decide how to scheme on these 2 opponents and how to split Gantian Mountain City, Xiong Ba heard commotion from afar. He was first unhappy, following which as those sentences entered his ear, and his ears started to shake.

In the next instance, he swiftly stood up. His 12 feet body was like a giant bird drifting in the air.

In just tens of jumps, he had already covered a few miles. He stood still on another tall building, looking down from here he could see the scenes outside of the Kongqi Sect building.

A moment later Xiong Ba’s face turned ashen white.

… He saw several carriages and wooden boards in front of the building. He thought it would be Zong Shou who was killed by Yue Guanyun. However, it was instead Yue Guanyun, whose body broke into 2 pieces, pinned onto a wooden board. The other carriages also had several bodies pinned onto wooden boards on them.
