Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“That Zong Shou is so bold! To plot against us under the cloud ocean. Isn’t he afraid the sects will gang up on him?”

The one who spoke was Lin Ji. He was furious, his eyes were filled with flames.

However, everyone was looking over like fools.

“Dumb! I, Feng Nu, have never seen a person as dumb as you! Tens of miles are separating us. Zong Shou never even met us. He could just easily avoid the problem by saying he didn’t see us. Just by asking why our ships would appear here will make everyone speechless! So what if we tell the sects? Would they help us? It seems like he had such a reason in mind when he invited the Lingyun sect disciples on board...”

The more Feng Nu said, the colder his heart felt. Before this, he thought that Zong Shou did so to prevent them from stacking under the cloud ocean which was why he spent money for Lingyun Sect to send people on board.

But thinking about it now, he felt a chill down his spine. He had planned it since the start at Psychic Island.

Those Lingyun Sect inner disciples were what Zong Shou was going to use to get off scot-free.

“Brother Feng’s words are wrong. Although we don’t have the moral high ground today, we still need to tell the world about the viciousness of this kid!”

Xiong Ba scoffed coldly, his huge eyes stared deadly forwards,” However the most important matter is to break out quickly! No matter how high the price we pay we have to charge out!”

The moment he said that Yue Guanyun and the others frowned as they looked behind.

The beasts in the canyon were pretty much all cleared by the energy destroying crossbow. The portion that was left all hid in the corners.

Although there were still beasts who were charging in under the orders of those grade 7 beasts.

However, in just ten miles of the distance, they were killed.

Looking at those densely packed, shining balls of death that were fired every 20 breaths, it caused their goosebumps to rise on end.

They would rather face the beast wave in front of them than go head-on towards the energy destroying crossbows and move deeper into the canyon.

All the cloud ships here were all huge and weren’t as flexible as the beasts.

If they faced these cloud destroying crossbows, they would be blown to pieces before they even charged close

Unless they charged to a seeable distance Zong Shou wouldn’t be kind and ask those energy destroying crossbows to stop.

But the beast flood ahead also sent a chill down their spines. Millions of Beasts were gathered, just grade 6 alone exceeded 30 thousand.

Apart from that, there were still those grade 7 ones that were around which made one feel despair.

They were unable to go forward or backward.

“f*** 8 generations of that Zong Shou! Only that dog shit, Zong Weiran, could give birth to such a cunning kid. Both of them are such a bother!”

Xiong Ba clenched his fists and slammed it on the railing, causing the wooden railing at the front of the ship to break into pieces.

If it was any other day, seeing Xiong Ba destroy his favorite ship, Yue Guanyun would be unhappy. However, he didn’t have the heart to bother now, his face dark and sunken.

Following which he heard Xiong Ba’s tone change, suddenly reaching a high pitch, “F***! It is a great 7 windbreaker eagle, 3 of them...”

He didn’t hesitate to jump up from the deck of the seven-tooth giant ship onto a nearby ship. His eyes constricted and he also leaped up, swiftly fleeing.

Yue Guanyun looked up. There were 3 black spots in the sky, diving down with frenzied wind around it.

His heart, at that moment, was filled with pain. Blood seeped out from the corner of his lips. He didn’t dare to hesitate, grabbing the few people around him. His body jumped as he flew a hundred feet away.

In the next instance, 3 extremely huge, thousand feet big giant birds smashed into the seven-tooth giant ship.

This seemingly indestructible giant boat was directly pierced, and 3 giant holes were made. Then, numerous sharp wind blades shredded several thousand holes and marks on this giant ship.

Yue Guanyun couldn’t help but look back, he was unable to suppress the despair in his heart, black colored blood spat out from within. His face was extremely ugly and in a bad shape.

“Zong Shou! Only one of us will live!”

In this life, he had never hated a person as much as now. Even when Zong Weiran ruled 9 provinces, he had never hated him as such.

Only Zong Shou made him hate him to the maximum! He hated him to the bone!

...

Whilst the cloud ships of the 3 cities were in deep waters outside, Zong Shou was still within the pretty peaceful canyon, sitting with his legs crossed, calmly looking at the phoenix pattern sword fragments in his hands.

One didn’t need to talk about the quality of materials of a grade 2 magical weapon. Even after it was broken, as long as one invited a great weapon refiner to recraft once more he could create an extremely high-grade spiritual artifact.

However, that wasn’t what Zong Shou was thinking about. Instead, he was thinking about how to extract out the weapon spirit to restore it.

Lasting for ten thousand years and not dissipating, even merging the martial path intent of the master. Such a high-grade sword spirit was extremely rare.

Other people didn’t know their values, even if Jing Tao didn’t, but he knew that sword spirit that could grow was something celestial realm, even god realm experts wanted for.

Be it using it as a protector beast or to craft a new sword, it was a great choice.

In his eyes, the fragments of this magical weapon were even much more impressive than that heaven and earth-bag.

Using his spiritual sense to take a look, the result made him excited. Although this sword was broken up, however, the soul wasn’t destroyed.

He just needed to gather up some spiritual items, using the few secret methods he knew in his memory and he would be able to extract the weapon spirit from within.

The hardest part of today was knowing how to wipe away the memories of the sword spirit as well as the mark left by the former owner.

This sword protected the body for ten thousand years which meant that it loved its owner greatly, even when it was about to break apart.

He could directly inherit it. However, Zong Shou was unable to be at ease, and it would still feel like it belonged to someone else.

Just as he frowned and was deep in thought, Xuanyuan Yiren picked up the last corpse harboring pinnacle sword grass, her eyes looking at Zong Shou in a complicated manner, “Little Shou, I think that you are becoming more and more scheming recently...”

Zong Shou smiled when he heard that, he knew that this matter couldn’t be hidden from this little girl that followed alongside him day and night. He didn’t deny it, asking instead, “Are my actions going against your righteous and kind ways?”

“No, those people asked for it and can’t blame others!”

Xuanyuan Yiren shook her head, her expressions complicated, “Between enemy countries, wars always start from nothing. There is no righteousness and kindness. If you treat them kindly you are letting down your people. But if war starts, killing is a little wrong...”

“I agree with your theory!”

Zong Shou’s brows rose up, he didn’t expect his fiancee to see it so thoroughly. The battle between countries grew only because of interests. Identity and morals were all fake. One would be a fool to insist on kindness and righteousness.

“So what your husband believes in is that short term pain is better than long term pain. Rather than let my people cry, why not let the enemy country cry...”

He suddenly reached out and snatched the corpse harboring pinnacle sword grass in her hands, casually tossing it towards where there was no one.

“Uncle Zhu, please do it!”

Zhu Junhou was originally holding onto a halberd with his hand, really focused on the entry of the canyon. As long as any fishes that escaped the net came over he could order the thousands of soldiers waiting warily to wipe them out.

When he heard that he turned around his head in a loss. When he saw the grass in mid-air, he was startled before coming to his senses, a bright light shooting out from within.

“Yes, my ruler!”

Casually, with the halberd in his hand, a blade light charged up, smashing the corpse harboring pinnacle grass into pieces!

Similar to the previous time, first a dense deathly energy spread about. Following which a fragrance wafted about, causing everyone in the canyon to be energized. Especially those spirit masters who felt that the soul power that they had consumed were instantly being restored by a large amount!

Xuanyuan Yiren was instantly stunned on the spot, Jing Tao Zhenren who was in the distance was caught off guard, looking over in disbelief.

His old face twisted greatly, “City Lord Zong, please give me an explanation!”

His tone wasn’t as warm and close as before, filled with coldness.

However when Zong Shou heard that he was calm and composed, with no trepidation or guilt.

“Zhenren don’t be impatient, I did that because I want for us to be able to leave this place as soon as possible!”

That Jing Tao Zhenren was startled once more. Thinking how did destroy this corpse harboring pinnacle sword grass have to do with them getting away. The scent would only stimulate the beasts outside and cause them to be even crazier.

Then some thoughts entered his mind, his eyes showing an enlightened gaze. action

When Zong Shou saw that, he sighed, his eyes filled with respect and praise, “Zhenren is truly an intelligent person. It seems like you don’t need me to explain. If I don’t cause the beasts outside to lose their minds and lead them to attack us to reduce their numbers we will only be trapped here. Who knows how long it will take before we are able to leave...”

Following which he smiled awkwardly, his face filled with helplessness, “Furthermore I have a limited amount of grade 6 beast crystals here.”

His words were filled with deep meaning, causing Jing Tao Zhenren’s face to flush red as he heard that. He did indeed mistaken Zong Shou.

When he thought about it, 800 energy destroying crossbows firing all at once, that was 800 grade 6 crystals, it wasn’t something that normal powers could afford. Even Lingyun Sect who was so rich wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Zong Shou destroyed a corpse harboring pinnacle sword grass because he had no choice.

Zhao Yanran who was not far away felt a chill down her spine as she heard that. Looking over speechlessly. She sighed, “Junior Sister Xuan... if there is a chance, you better not make him angry your entire life.”

Xuan Yunlan nodded her head in agreement. She had witnessed the viciousness and schemes of this great great great great great senior master today. He was prepared to force the cloud ships of those 3 cities onto the path of no return...
