The expression of Han Nishui was so dark and sunken.

Before he came, be it the elders of the sect or him, they felt that using the name of Lingyun Sect and Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect they could probably suppress Zong Shou and force him to take a step aside.

But after he arrived, such a scene had occurred instead. Zong Shou was so unyielding!

What made one annoyed was that the 2 of them were simply too disappointing, for such a situation to occur at the crucial moment.

“It is okay if you aren’t willing to be my subordinate...”

Zong Shou didn’t care, sitting down on the soft mattress. His eyes looked calm but slowly rage built up and gathered in the depths of his eyes.

What he hated the most in his life was being threatened by people.

“Then choose the other option, cut off your arm! No, I changed my mind, half a province isn’t enough. Both of you each spit out one province how about that? Longze and Fuyao provinces, the time limit of the contract will be shortened to 3 years. I do indeed have to answer to my soldiers...”

When he said that, Xiong Ba stared furiously with his eyes opened wide, saying seriously,”f*** you, you insatiable. You want to force us to break through your net before you will stop? At most I will just die together with you...”

When Zong Shou heard that, he wasn’t furious, scoffing slightly, “Uncle Qiu, tell this Xiong Ba that after our Gantian Mountain takes down Taoyun City, how many troops can we gather from the west front?”

Qiu Wei smiled softly, his chin relaxing slightly, “Not including support troops there are 600 thousand elites. Subordinate city troops that meet our standards should be around a million...”

“Only 600 thousand? It’s a little fewer than I expected!”

Zong Shou felt there were too little troops, asking, “Where are the Xuan Mountain reinforcements?”

“Ruler the 540 thousand Xuan Mountain troops are rushing over!”

The one who replied this time was Hu Qianqiu. His voice was majestic and filled with energy,” Led by Xuan Mountain City general Hai Tianyuan, in roughly 3 days they will be able to cross Ruohai Straits!”

“How many city lords and country rulers are willing to aid us in this Weining province?”

Hu Qianqiu and Qiu Wei exchanged glances with one another, they weren’t able to confirm the number, was it 30 or 40?

They only knew that even if the surrounding cities didn’t immediately pledge their allegiance, most of them send messengers in the dark to leave themselves a way out.

However, were they going to tell those 2 people about this?

Ruo Shui said gently, “Including Shengde Province, there are 49 cities. There are 50 odd of them who sent messengers towards Gu Ou City.”

Only then did Zong Shou smile as he looked towards Xiong Ba, “Your troop numbers aren’t as good as Gantian, you all are also unable to defend Huling Hill. Since that’s the case, then what ability do the 2 of you have to go all out against me? What ability do you have to drag me down together with you? Preposterous!”

His tone was calm but it was like it was filled with an ancient chill, smashing right on the heart of Xiong Ba, making him dumbfounded.”

There were a few times where he wanted to open up his mouth to retort but in the end, he felt speechless.

He knew about the few things that Qiu Wei and the others mentioned, if not why would he come over to ask for a ceasefire?

However, at that time he still had Gushan City and this Huling Hill defense line was still as stable as a boulder. He was also really confident that he would be able to block Gantian Mountain for close to half a year!

In the next instant, he thought about something and looked towards Han Nishui with blur and pleading eyes.

The latter furrowed his brows, resisting the anger in his chest and opened his mouth once more, “Your highness Zong Shou, as they say where it is possible to let someone off you should spare them. These peace talks was an agreement of the many sects of the cloud continent, does city lord Zong want to be our enemies?”

Zong Shou burst into a laugh. If before this, that threatening intent was hidden and just slight, then now they had ripped across all the veils, not bothering to hide it at all.

“Where it is possible to let someone off you should spare them? Hehe, then what about my Gantian Mountain spies. What did that have to do with your sects? Why did you have to kill all of them?”

Seeing that Han Nishui hold his breath, Zong Shou’s words seemed like a knife which slashed across. “Even when you people use such dark and under the table methods, you still want my Gantian Mountain to take a step back. Are you worth it?”

Han Nishui felt vital energy and blood was flowing backward in his body, feeling a pulling pain. At this moment he could only forcefully suppress it, raising his hand and saying, “Your highness probably misunderstood. My mysterious cloud sect didn’t participate in that matter...”

“Didn’t participate? So you all silently allowed it. Speaking of which, who cares whether or not you did, as long as I say you did what can you do to me?”

Zong Shou laughed coldly. He was a person who was unreasonable and didn’t like speaking about reason to people.

“The so-called sect agreement didn’t include the demon sects, there isn’t the Confucians, the Buddhists and also not the sword sect and common people path, right? Hmm, I need to be a little reasonable and win people over with virtue! How about this, you call out all the murderers of my people and I can ask them to give me half a province less, that is fair enough...”

Han Nishui’s face was dyed red, at this moment he didn’t make a single sound. The backflow of blood in his body was getting stronger and stronger. A feeling of depression was like a hard brick stuck in his chest. Ruo Shui and Chuxue were looking at their master differently. They didn’t expect that when Zong Shou got annoyed, he would be so good with words, so sharp and vicious, directly hitting the weakness of the enemy.

“More importantly, since your sects have targeted me as the enemy, Psychic Island even breaking their laws, why should I give you face? Do you think there is gold on your face? If you don’t use people of the ascended realm, how much strength do you have to interfere in this battle? You guys overestimate yourself?”

As he said that the rage in Zong Shou’s chest was slowly calming down, “So people like you should scram as far as you can, stop being an eyesore here. Whatever methods you can use, just use it. I will just receive them, I want to see what kind of tricks sects like yours can play...”

Han Nishui was startled as he looked at Zong Shou in a dumbfounded manner.

...It shouldn’t be like this. Didn’t a strong person like Zong Weiran get forced to flee into the cloud ocean by them?

Why didn’t Zong Shou yield? Instead, he caused Gantian Mountain’s strength to rise? To cause him and the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect to lose all their face?”

Following which he understood. Zong Weiran did have the weakness of having ascended.

However not only was this Zong Shou as intelligent as his father, till date he still hadn’t found the true weakness of this kid...

His mood slowly calmed down. That depressed feeling not only didn’t decrease but increased instead.

Furrowing his brows tightly and entering a deep thought, calculating numerous things and considering many matters continuously however he was still unable to find a way to solve the situation. He couldn’t even find any chips in their pockets to make Zong Shou take a step back.

Feng Nu looked on quietly, after a long while he reached out with his hand and obtained that lightning winged sword. He looked right at Zong Shou, “3-year contract, my Yunxia Mountain will only give up half a province!”

After he finished he slashed down on his left arm, where the long sword landed blood light spurted and a broken arm fell onto the ground.

Following which, he threw the sword directly, turning around on his horse and leaving.

Xiong Ba’s face alternated between green and white, following which he grabbed the lightning winged sword which was dyed red.

“Blazing Flame Mountain will also give up half a province!”

Sword light rising as that huge and muscular left arm instantly separated from his body. Xiong Ba tossed the sword, with a “duo” sound it pinned onto the carriage, shaking continuously.

“This time it is my loss! I lose convinced in heart and word. I also don’t have face to occupy the Blazing Flame Mountain city lord position. 3 years later, your opponent wouldn’t be me but my daughter. My Yu’er will ensure that you will die with no place to be buried!”

When he said that, Xiong Ba wasn’t willing to stay any longer, he whipped his warhorse and led those 5 thousand Blazing flame mountain cavalry into the distance, leaving a trail of smoke and dust behind them.

Zong Shou’s brows raised, Yu’er? That Xuan Yu princess who became the crown princess of Blazing Flame mountain? Interesting!”

In the next moment, he turned his eyes towards Han Nishui. At this moment not only did Feng Nu and Xiong Ba leave, but even those Yunxia Mountain soldiers on the stone bases have also swiftly retreated.

In front of the 170 thousand men army, only this person stood alone ten thousand feet out.

Han Nishui’s face was extremely ugly. Feng Nu and Xiong Ba didn’t even wait for him to decide before they cut off their arms. It was like 2 slaps viciously smacking right onto his face.

Undoubtedly they had thought through it carefully that even if the cloud world sects helped they would be unable to turn the tables.

Why not cut off their arm before Zong Shou comes up with even worse conditions.

He took in a few successive deep breaths but was still unable to suppress the depressed feeling in his heart. In the end, he looked coldly at Zong Shou, “Good moves by your highness. I will remember this humiliation in my heart, Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect won’t forget it too. Your highness should look out for yourself...”

After he said that he flicked his sleeves behind him, “You simply can’t be rationality handled!”

His sword rising once more along with a ball of light as he flew up into the sky. Just as he charged up a hundred feet Zong Shou said once more, “You can tell those people with nefarious intentions that I will make you all pay for this grievance one by one! Aren’t you all interested in Ying Dragon Canyon. If you don’t hand over all the people who participated in this matter, I, Zong Shou, will make it that you all won’t touch a single thing in Ying Dragon Canyon...”

Han Nishui paused slightly following which he sped up and in just a moment he disappeared in the horizon.

Following which Hu Qianqiu smiled, “Following the ruler is much more fun and exciting than with the ex ruler! All these sects are used to being arrogant and commanding people. They think our Gantian Mountain has to give them face.”

Qiu Wei slightly nodded his head, “This should be the norm. Anyways no matter if we fell out with them or not those sects wouldn’t watch quietly as our Gantian Mountain get strong. With that, we would instead get rid of some worries...”

The few Xuanwu ancestors around all exchanged glances and smiled. It was a rare sight to see these spiritual houses and shrines get humiliated.

Zong Shou also felt comfortable in his heart, the soul power and internal energy seemed to be affected and became unusually active.

He suddenly had a thought and turned his thoughts to his soul ocean at the few forming true spiritual charms. This time it was much quicker, just a short while and they were completed.

Following which the whirlpool soul ocean started to turn intensely. The hundreds of true spiritual charms started to form up on their own. However this time they weren’t at the center of the whirlpool but above it.

When the swallow and purify word true spiritual talismans were slowly formed, they seemed to become the true center of this whirlpool.

Following which Zong Shou had a bright comprehension and knew that he had already stepped into grade 6 Return to Sun realm!
