Chapter 837: Watch You Struggle

Mufang was speechless, even if he wanted to retort, there was nothing he could say.

He really couldn’t blame Zong Shou this time.

He was a talent and knew that there was no point regretting. His eyes flashed and then he smiled, “Forget it! Since things have reached such a level, I really want to listen to what Ruler has to say? I don’t believe that you drew me over here just to look at me.”

“Naturally!”

Zong Shou nodded his head, looking really proper, “Out of the few sides in Yuanlian World, Brother Hong is the strongest. I don’t understand, are you all willing to let him swallow the southwest? You all will just sit there and watch this Yuanlian World fall into the hands of the Nine Capital Celestial Court? Even if he gives you all some benefits and splits some land with you, how long will that last? Once he deals with the southwest and isn’t surrounded by enemies all around, Brother Hong won’t be restricted anymore...”

Mufang listened on quietly, his expression was frozen and cold, he didn’t waver at all.

“If that really happens, then at most my Xuanling Guild will just hand over this Yuanlian World to him. What we lost here we will just take from other areas. It is just a trade.”

“Although those words are true, however, only Xuanling Guild will benefit. Brother Mu’s few hundred years of hard work here will go to waste!”

Zong Shou’s brow rose up coldly, filled with mocking intent, “Is that what you really want?”

“What else can I do?”

Mufang scoffed coldly, “It was best if Ruler didn’t agree to Tanjing. After you agreed, you are now just restricting your own arms and legs. Now that you only have 300,000 troops and 16 Spirit Realm Experts, you will be wiped out in a short time. So, I have to join hands with you and in the end gain nothing? Even if you had great speaking ability, it would be tough for you to move me.”

“When did I say that I wanted you to join hands right now to face the enemy?”

Seeing Mufang looking stunned, Zong Shou smiled, “If I don’t have enough strength, I guess it is tough to make you at ease. What I want to discuss with you is that this time once Hong Jiuchen suffers a setback, won’t Brother Mu be tempted at that central area?”

Only then did his expression change. Was the Great Gan Ruler actually so confident?

Did he have some other trump cards?

He looked closely at Zong Shou’s expression and wasn’t able to see anything.

However, during these days he had sent people to scout news about him.

Within the Cloud World, he surprised people time after time, defeating the Taoist Faction, who was even able to make Xuanling Guild fear them.

Maybe this time he really had confidence to win, who knows?

His gaze instantly flickered as he hesitated.

He was unwilling to split this Yuanlian World with Hong Jiuchen.

However, the person in front of him was much more dangerous than Hong Jiuchen.

Thinking about it for a moment and pondering it time after time, Mufang still shook his head. His lips curled with mocking intent.

“I think Ruler has gone mad. At such a time, you aren’t thinking about protecting your strength and retreating out of Yuanlian World. Instead, you ran over from so far away to try to persuade me. I really don’t know if you are a bold person or that you are simply too arrogant...”

This outer region wasn’t like the Cloud World that had been peaceful for so long.

Even if this person was able to do whatever he wanted in the Cloud World, he was still a newbie in the outer region.

People like him had all been through numerous battles and walked out of life and death battles several times.

With just that bit of strength, unable to gain a stable footing, how would he be able to cause any real waves?

“If I was Ruler, I wouldn’t have agreed to the outer region rules! That was really not a wise decision...”

“However, what if? What if Hong Jiuchen was defeated by me, even if you all joined hands, would you be able to win?”

Zong Shou smiled, not commenting on what the person said.

He was convinced by Tanjing because he himself was facing a huge problem.

“It is best if you consider this matter. If Cultivator Hong wins, you have no chance of winning. However, if he loses, you might be able to occupy the central region, having a chance to unify Yuanlian World. When that happens, would you still need to worry that Xuanling Guild won’t fully support you?”

Seeing that Mufang’s face was still frozen, unable to speak, Zong Shou just smiled. He didn’t rush him anymore. He knew that Mufang was actually already tempted and to rush him any further might just backfire instead.

He didn’t even say goodbye, he just stepped into the air and left.

To make use of diplomatic measures was a great solution.

This time even if the Yuanlian World sides worked together, they weren’t totally united as they doubted one another. There was definitely various conflicts between one another.

Amongst this, there might be a chance for him to strike. When things went well, everything could be hidden and covered up.

However, if they faced any problems, conflicts and disagreements would explode out. Today, he just increased this chance to an even larger possibility.

He sighed. He didn’t have a useful strategist in his hand. As such, he had to personally engage in diplomatic thoughts.

The standard was really lacking. He felt really ashamed about this.

He stepped in the air and traveled. Just as he was less than 3,000 miles away, he suddenly felt a gaze focus down on him. It was extremely cold and filled with mocking intent.

“Interesting! I would like to watch you struggle...”

A cold few words before the intent was retracted.

Zong Shou’s brow rose up, his body fixed in the air.

“That person is Hong Jiuchen? His ability is really not bad, much stronger than before. There seems to be another person. Tanfang? As expected, those two joined hands?”

Zong Shou broke into a laugh. With the strength of Tianfang Guild they didn’t have the rights to fight for this Yuanlian World. They could only choose a side to support and try to get some benefits.

Looking at the situation, did they really think that he had fallen into their trap?

Following this, Zong Shou didn’t head to any other region. He just shot out several message talismans all around before heading right back to the Yuanjing Palace.

Such methods should only be used once. If he used them too many times, they would no longer be effective.

There were many explanations for his meeting with Mufang. Maybe he failed and returned and gave up on persuading the others. Maybe there was a second possibility, which was that they came to an agreement, so there was no point in speaking to anyone else? action

What was fake might be real, what might seem real might be fake...

To confirm whether or not Mufang and Xuanling Guild were planning on stabbing them in the back, Nine Capital Celestial Court probably had to wrack their brains.

After returning to Yuanjing Palace, Zong Shou started his secluded meditation.

He stopped worrying about all outside matters. He focused on cultivation, crafting the Sword Formation. As expected, he handed all war matters to Zhuang Fan.

He only personally managed those 300,000 Elites to occupy several core areas.

If Zhuang Fan won, these few areas would be able to chase for the victory easily. If he lost, they would still be able to defend, falling back to the worst scenario.

At least they could protect their land and plan for the future.

Actually, he had no choice but to not worry about such matters.

He did what he should have done. Anything else wouldn’t have been of much effect.

Now, he could only see whether or not Zhuang Yu would disappoint him.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he ended up on his back foot in such a manner.
