Chapter 1039: Sword Sect Huge Bet

“Sword Sect Sect Head is here to visit?”

Zong Shou was both not surprised but also shocked.

He was not surprised that Sword Sect and Buddhist Faction, who had been on the fence, would react after the Common People’s Vast Habitat battle.

He was shocked that the first to come wasn’t Buddhist Faction but Sword Sect.

However, since the Sword Sect Head came, naturally Wei Xu who was the head of the Sect went to receive him.

The one who wanted to meet Zong Shou was Sword Palace Palace Head Lingchen.

When Zong Shou stepped out of the Vast Habitat, he saw that middle-aged man who left a huge impression on him, standing in the area where numerous vengeful energy wrapped around.

He used his right hand and fingers to deduce the Heaven Path Sword Intent that occurred in the area.

Initial God Realm!

Zong Shou’s eyes flashed and he recalled that when they first met this person was only Grade Nine.

Explosion of potential! Even Shui Lingbo couldn’t be compared to him.

He didn’t recognise the other person. He was around 30, dressed up in a scholarly attire, looking out of the world. He looked over with a profound expression.

To be able to see an old Friend, naturally Zong Shou was really happy. However, he knew that Lingchen came here due to matters at hand. Which was why after they greeted one another, his ears were opened.

Lingchen still treated him really respectfully like the last time.

“Feng Taiji, that kid was able to have such achievements due to Ruler!”

Although they hadn’t met in a few years, just from the rumors from Yuanlian World, he knew that Feng Taiji was far different from before.

He had removed all his heart barriers, like a true Phoenix surging into the sky.

Zong Shou smiled and didn’t say anything. He tilted his body to signal that he didn’t dare accept the gratitude.

“Senior, you are thanking the wrong person. Feng Taiji was too talented and his attainments have nothing to do with me.”

Lingchen still bowed and then got straight to the point, “10 days ago, I really didn’t expect that Common People’s Path could actually safely go through this tribulation. Not only keeping the Vast Habitat but also killing three End Realm. I also didn’t expect that Ruler was the Future Buddha, Unlimited Beginning and End Buddha.”

He had long ago guessed that Zong Shou had a tight relationship with the Common People’s Path.

However, what he didn’t expect was for Zong Shou to have such a connection with the Buddhist Faction.

If Zong Shou was willing, after 1,000 years he would be able to enter the Glass World to become the Buddhist Head that billions of disciples respected and worshipped.

“I also found it fortunate that we were able to win this battle.”

Zong Shou gave a totally insincere sigh, he tried to avoid and act like he didn’t hear about the Future Buddha, Unlimited Beginning and End Buddha talks.

He also didn’t think about how to deal with it appropriately.

Lingchen burst out laughing, his expression turned serious, “After this battle, Common People’s Path has four End Realm and you are the top faction of the Cloud World! The whole world will definitely know that Ruler is the second generation direct disciple. What is Ruler planning to do in the future?”

Zong Shou’s expression instantly turned serious. Using his legs to guess, he also knew the goals for them coming over.

“Senior Ling, if the Cloud World is a cake, then this cake is too small and it is not enough for everyone.”

Everyone was lost and didn’t understand.

Zong Shou laughed, feeling delighted deep down.

“So, rather than fighting with one another, why not we make this cake big, until everyone is satisfied...”

Including Ruotao, light flashed in the eyes of the three of them.

Zong Shou knew that those words couldn’t satisfy the Sword Sect as he continued, “I always promote for governance to be by the law, one will be rewarded for merits and punish for sins. To do that, one needs to be honest and be fair. Be it Common People’s Path, Sword Sect, or our Buddhist Faction, there would be no exception! I also know about the theory of interests. I don’t bother about politics and leave it all to the Cabinet and the Meeting Hall. This will continue to be the case in the future. What do you have to be worried about?”

The words at the end were filled with mocking intent.

Lingchen didn’t mind it and instead gave a satisfied smile, “As expected from the top Ruler in the Cloud Word for 10,000 years! With Ruler’s words, the Sword Sect naturally has nothing to worry about. To be able to meet Ruler is the Sword Sect’s blessing!”

“Top Ruler? Hehe...”

Zong Shou laughed and mocked himself, “I am not the Enemy of the Confucians and within Cloud World everyone knows that I am violent and ignorant.”

“Although Confucians hold power, they can’t shut everyone’s mouths.”

Lingchen shook his head and said seriously, “With Zhu Zi sending that decree, Great Shang would definitely send troops. My Sword Sect and Great Gan are so closely connected and our interests are the same. Although we are the weakest of the six factions, we can’t sit still and not do anything. 10 days from now, our 40,000 Moyang Sword Cavalry will be under your command.”

Zong Shou’s brow rose up as he looked over in shock. This time he was surprised.

Even with these 40,000, the gap between both sides was still five times.

Before victory and defeat was decided Sword Sect was actually willing to set such a huge bet on him?

Lingchen smiler, “I trust Ruler and I believe in Commander Kong! Sword Sect couldn’t interfere in the Common People’s Vast Habitat battle but this Great Shang invasion is one we cannot let happen. Ruler doesn’t know but three days ago we actually prepared to leave the Cloud World. If Common People’s Path lost, our Sword Sect wouldn’t be able to survive here alone...”

If they weren’t involved they wouldn’t take any losses, but it would affect their relationship with Zong Shou.

It was okay if Zong Shou didn’t win, because no matter what, Zong Shou would strengthen Common People’s Path first. It would be a huge loss to the Sword Sect.

Zong Shou smiled when he heard this and he looked out towards the other person. A golden light flashed at his brow, like there was an eye looking over.

“Energy Viewing Technique?”

Zong Shou frowned unhappily, looking at the situation; it was a top Energy Viewing Technique. What was Sword Sect doing?

He instantly understood. Although they placed a huge bet on him, they were still worried. This was why they let such a top Divinator follow.

Lingchen noticed and his expression turned awkward. He scolded, “Hua Ruo! Don’t be so rude in front of Ruler!”

That person was still expressionless and said seriously, “I have no choice! I can’t view Ruler’s King Energy through normal methods...”

He stopped halfway before he cried out, blood dripping from his brow.

Hua Ruo touched his forehead, his eyes filled with disbelief, “Saint King Energy, Dragon, and Phoenix roaring and chirping, he is actually the Saint King descending on the world!”
