Chapter 969: Good, Very Good

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

“Bastard Fox Blood descendant? Did Hong Jiuchen really say that?”

Standing in front of the palace gates, Zong Shou laughed, his voice was really dark and deep.

Feng Taiji stood solemnly to the side. However, he paid more attention to the person standing opposite him.

He was slightly tall and equipped with full armor, his face was covered in a shining metallic mask.

He couldn’t tell the true strength and cultivation of Guyue but he could clearly sense that this person was God Realm!

When did such an expert appear beside Zong Shou?

Then, he understood. With Zong Shou’s strength and status, it was expected that he recruited a God Realm to serve the Celestial Dynasty.

Lu Wubing was also distracted, he and Zong Shou cared about different things. He paid more attention to what Feng Taiji was saying before.

Lu Family abandoned kid? Bastard?

When Hong Jiuchen said that Guyue actually didn’t chide him?

Speaking of which, it seemed like the news that Zong Shou was now the top Heir, the Pureblood descendant hadn’t spread yet.

If not this person was really asking to die!

He really dared to say that. If this matter was more serious even the entire Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty had to answer to the Lu Family.

How could the next Saint Emperor of the Sky Burning Saint Dynasty be insulted by others?

It was the best excuse to start war. Even if those few from the Lu Family didn’t want to see Zong Shou return, they too would wish for war to start.

At that time, this wouldn’t be something that could be settled by just giving up land. If things went bad, the entire Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty would be in danger of being wiped out.

The best way would be to kill Hong Jiuchen and send his head over to appease the rage of the Sky Burning Saint Dynasty.

The few people present wouldn’t end up in a good situation either.

Then, Lu Wubing shook his head, what was he thinking? After this battle, even if Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty didn’t get wiped out, they would suffer heavy losses.

Zong Shou continued to laugh and then felt really bored so he stopped.

He only treated these words like a crazy dog barking and didn’t take it all to heart.

Even when Feng Taiji mentioned those words just now, he mostly took it as a joke.

Why would he worry about what a person who was about to die had said?

“So, in other words, they all didn’t agree. However, they didn’t reject fully and they want to ask for instructions before replying?”

“That’s right!”

Feng Taiji didn’t hesitate and nodded his head, “They are just trying to delay.”

At the start, he also felt that way, that it was possible that Zong Shou was faking his strength. However, looking at it now, seeing those fully equipped Dao Soldiers, he felt that he was wrong.

“Then, what do you think of Guyue?”

“He is really shrewd and really calm! Hong Jiuchen and the others are taking orders from him!”

Feng Taiji took in a deep breath, he knew that this wasn’t what Zong Shou wanted to hear.

“This person should have a high position in the Nine Capital Saint Dynasty. He probably didn’t come here because of Hong Jiuchen’s invitation…”

Afraid that Zong Shou would take it lightly, he reminded, “This person knew that Ruler was provoking them, so he tried to delay. He would definitely go all out to prepare for war. Once both sides get into an irreversible state, he will strike out! Who knows, the entire Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty might be swept into this. If I was him, I would invite the Saint Emperor to go all out and not give you any chance! I don’t know what you are planning, so I can only remind you that we can’t be careless and we have to be careful making all these decisions!”

There was something that was stuck in his throat that he didn’t say.

If they really had enough strength, then they could actually strike first to wipe out those four sides from Yuanlian World!

They had the moral high ground, so they wouldn’t have anything to say! It could also reduce the overall risk.

However, looking at Zong Shou’s actions, he obviously had his own plans and thus he stopped himself from saying anything further.

Zong Shou laughed when he heard this and his smile was really bright.

“Shrewd, calm and experienced? Good, good! That is much needed…”

He totally placed down the worry in his heart, his expression became relaxed instead.

He also didn’t seem to worry about the fact that Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty could go all out.

“It has been tough on you Taiji, I thank you!”

Taiji was the only one in the Great Gan Celestial Dynasty who could be the envoy and he had brought back everything that he wanted to know.

“It is my duty!”

Feng Taiji was totally confused. He looked at the person with the iron mask, there wasn’t any worry on his face at all.

His eyes flashed slightly, not only was he teasing but there was something else.

Although he didn’t understand, he still calmed down.

He knew that Zong Shou either had total confidence in winning or he was completely crazy.

However, was the latter even possible?

He was also slightly curious, thinking to himself, would the Blood Sword Monster Lord have the strength to deal with the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty’s full strength attack?

If that was the case, then this battle would be really interesting.

He didn’t fully believe as he probed curiously, “Do we need to ask for help from the Cloud World? Also, I am still a little worried about their replies as I didn’t set a specific date for them. Ruler, please send someone to rush over. We can’t just wait for them to be fully prepared…”

“There is no need for reinforcements!”

Zong Shou shook his head, “There is no need to rush them too! I will wait for them, wait for them to be fully prepared.”

After saying this, Zong Shou wasn’t willing to say anything more regarding these matters and only engaged in casual conversation.

He then walked toward the palace, if it was as he expected he should either be going into seclusion or going to search for Ruoshui.

Feng Taiji remained on the spot, the doubts in his heart didn’t dissipate but became stronger instead.

He was a person who could suppress his curiosity, looking at the God Realm Cultivator opposite with a questioning gaze.

“I am wearing a mask for a reason and it isn’t convenient to tell others but you can call me Iron Face.”

Lu Wubing laughed, “Now, I am Ruler’s advisor but a month from now we will probably both with officials. At that time, I will need Brother Feng to take care of me!”

Feng Taiji’s brow rose up. This person was really direct, the nickname he made up was also quite direct too.

Become a subject? What did that mean?

Although he respected Zong Shou, it hadn’t reached the level where he regarded himself as his subject.

Sword Sect and Zong Shou were working together and he was a guest minister here.

Unless Zong Shou could become an emperor…

He thought back to how Zong Shou’s last advisor was Zhang Huai.

He was now the reserve Prime Minister, along with Kong Yao they had stretched Great Gan’s power into the southeast of the Central Cloud Continent.

Half of those tribes had joined them and made Great Gan the true Southeast Overlords.

Then, the person in front of him wasn’t a recruited helper. He was really a subject of Zong Shou?

Country Advisor, what a weird title.

Iron Face laughed, “Brother Feng, there is no need to worry. Ruler wants the entire Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty to come over. It is best if the Saint Emperor comes too!”

After saying this, he smiled and bowed. After the pleasantries he also left.

Feng Taiji was stunned, only after a long while did he walk forward with a lost expression in his eyes.

The people who passed him seemed like they didn’t even exist.

Unknowingly, he walked to a wide area. This was a drill field within the manor.

When he arrived here, he felt that things weren’t right and he came to his senses, wariness rose up in his heart.

“Why are there so many Celestial Realm Cultivators here?”

There were actually 700 strong auras in front of him.

Feng Taiji raised his head and then took in a deep cold breath.

He really wasn’t wrong. There were indeed 700 “Celestials” in front of him.

500 Spirit Realms and over 100 Celestial Realms. At this moment, they were standing on the drill field following an unknown formation.

“Dao Soldiers?”

They were wearing the same robes and holding the same weapons. Their energies were connected to one another and they would change locations occasionally.

The aura wasn’t apparent but one could sense a terrifying Spiritual Energy within the formation that was slowly flowing within.

There was obviously a power that was able to destroy everything but it was still calm and composed.

The changes in the formation were extremely mysterious and profound. Looking out, the formation covered 10,000 feet, but it made one feel like it covered the entire Heaven and Earth.

He felt something rise up in his eyes and a sharp intent was injected within.

Slay!

Subconsciously, this word had appeared in his mind.

He quickly closed it, he felt that the formation just needed to move slightly and it would be able to wipe him out totally.

Those few Formless God Demons he saw in the World River compared to them were like fireflies compared to the moon.

To compare them was an insult.

“Ruler mentioned that the formation isn’t complete. The killing intent is too heavy and can’t be retracted. If one isn’t God Realm, it is best if you don’t look at it…”

Feng Taiji could recognize that it was Zhao Yanran. He didn’t back away, asking seriously instead.

“What Dao Soldier is this, what formation is this?”

As a direct disciple of the Ten Thousand Sword Vast Habitat, he was really knowledgeable and had seen the Heaven and Earth Grade Dao Soldiers of the Vast Habitat.

However, even their Sect Protecting Dao Soldiers didn’t have such strength.

This was a dozen times sharper than theirs!

It really was strong!

He felt that even if a Saint Realm Expert was here, he would be smashed by the formation.

“Spirit Realm Dao Soldiers are the Spirit Changing Demon Slaying Soldiers, the Celestial Realm ones are the Source Ocean Demon Slaying Soldiers…”

Zhao Yanran forced her eyes opened, her expression was really complicated, “I heard Zong Sou say that the formation is the Cycle of Heaven Imperial Demon Slaying Formation!”

With such power, even in the Cloud World, they would be able to rule a land.

At this moment, the doubts in Feng Taiji’s heart were answered. He subconsciously looked around.

He noticed that there wasn’t anyone at all. Layers of barriers blocked off this place.

It was as if only core members of Great Gan could enter this place.

He burst out laughing. If the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty found out, then with just this alone, they would have to reconsider. Things might not go as Zong Shou had planned.

Shortly after, a question rose up. Where did Zong Shou get so many cultivators from to become his Dao Soldiers?
