Seeing Qiaohan’s emotions fluctuate for a moment before calming down, Zong Shou was impressed. Before this, he had underestimated elder Qiao.

It was normal to not agree. If Qiaohan agreed without asking the sect for such a matter, he would feel worried instead.

“That’s okay! Please ask your sect to answer quickly! Apart from that my Gantian Mountain still wants to order 400 thousand spiritual armor and weapons. Can your sect pay for the material costs?”

Qiuwei and Zong Gang were delighted when they heard that. They knew that Zong Shou had already agreed to their suggestion to expand by 400 thousand troops.

Qiaohan didn’t hesitate when he heard that, nodding his head, “I can decide on this matter!”

He knew that at the current moment the wealth of Gantian Mountain, its hidden potential was far from what the many sects expected.

No matter whether or not their Kongqi Sect allied with Gantian Mountain, in the end, they didn’t need to worry about Zong Shou not paying up.

If they were allies, strengthening Gantian Mountain and increasing their chances of winning was what they were expected to do.

He was grumbling in his heart. If Kongqi Sect wants to obtain enough benefits from this war, they need to throw in a lot of strength. Maybe even the grade 9 elders have to participate.

Zong Shou smiled as he said thanks. He led with the horse, bringing these 2800 of them back towards the west coast of the evil spirit moat.

Then, he saw a golden talisman dance in the sky. When he came out of the yin mist it descended towards him.

It was a message talisman. Due to the yin power of the evil spirit moat splitting them up, it was unable to find Zong Shou’s position and was suspending in mid-air.

At this moment when he appeared did it land. Zong Shou took it and a moment later his lips curled.

“Interesting!”

His hands clenching onto it as he smashed the message talisman in his hands into pieces. Renbo found it weird, asking curiously.

“What matter has made the ruler so furious? Did something change in the common people dao palace?”

Gantain mountain, under his management, had decent politics and peaceful people. The commoners had a great life and they had a strong army defending so it wouldn’t be that.

More recently, he had heard that sword prince Jueyu had defeated the top of the 10 shrines Tailing Sect, winning all their young experts. Anytime he would find his way to the common people vast habitat.

Zong Shou shook his head and laughed, his voice already returning to a calm state.

“It is Blazing Flame and Yunxia Mountain city who sent people over to meet me. Apart from that, they have the envoy from Thousand City Alliance following along. They seem to want me to return them the land that they gave up to us.”

Renbo and Qiuwei’s brows furrowed right away, revealing some rage.

In Qiaohan’s heart, he felt that this was preposterous. If it was before today, he would think that the outcome was undecided.

However, at this moment he knew that Gantian Mountain would win 100%.

Zong Shou’s goal was from start to finish the powers behind the Thousand City alliance and Yunxia Blazing Flame cities.

To return the land…Did water enter the brains of Xiong Yu and Feng Nu? Did they want to die?

Weren’t they looking to be murdered?

Zong Gang gritted his teeth out loud, smiling coldly, “So it means Yunxia and Blazing Flame City are joining hands with Thousand City Alliance?”

Zong Shou kept silent and didn’t reply, he then said, “there are 2 people who say they are from great Shang, on orders from the emperor. They say they have a decree…”

Renbo was startled, Great Shang? Central dynasty? Why did Great Shang people come over to such a “barbaric land” like the Donglin Cloud Continent?

※※※※

Directly changing his armor and clothes, splitting up from the blood cloud cavalry, Zong Shou traveled swiftly. In just an hour, he rushed back to Gantian Mountain City.

Within the evil spirit moat, killing for 4 hours, much evil aura and yin energy had gathered on Zong Shou’s body.

It was why he sent silently for a moment, to attract heaven and earth spiritual energy, burning up spiritual flames. He burnt for 15 minutes to get rid of them before he headed for one of the side halls of the Hanyan Palace.

Before he even got close he heard a loud commotion within.

Zong Shou didn’t care but just as he was about to enter he heard the sound of porcelain being smashed. He stood in his tracks and listened in.

Only to hear a sound, saying coldly, “I’m sorry! The tea is cold. How cold, I wasn’t able to hold it properly. Speaking of which, we have already waited 4 hours here. When will your ruler show himself? Is this how your Gantian Mountain treats guests?”

After those words were said, an old voice rose, it was really cold and flat, “So what if it is? In the past when I was ordered by the ruler to visit Yunxia Mountain to meet city lord Feng Nu I was also made to wait half a day. If you are impatient then you can leave. As for this teaware, it isn’t much. This item came from Longze Province and is produced by your city lord in the past. Now our Gantian Mountain can get as many as we want.”

Zong Shou smiled and recognized that this was the voice of old priest Zong Ling. As expected he was experienced, fighting them head-on and not giving in at all.

At this moment another voice rang out, “Old Priest Zong, I heard that people should know their place to avoid calamity. If Gantian Mountain was strong, I wouldn’t dare to do this. Other people might not know about the situation but can’t you see it carefully? I heard that recently your ruler was arrogant and didn’t do his job. I didn’t believe it before but now I do. Monster king Zong Shou is young and doesn’t know the importance of things. Why not you and the old officials of Weiran monster king persuade him?”

Zong Shou’s lips curled up coldly. He didn’t hesitate and he stepped in. Then, he didn’t bother about the people within, directly heading for the elevated part of the hall, above the stairs.

Sweeping all about, the so called Great Shang envoy was that silver armor teen with a mask on.

What made him shocked was that the teen young master he saw in the meeting hall was also here. Who knows what his identity was.

Sitting down on the throne, only Zong Ling got up to bow towards him. The young master and the silver armored girl just stood up, slightly bending and cupping their fists as sort of a greeting.

“Yunxia Mountain envoy Gexin greets ruler!”

“Blazing Flame Mountain Zhangzhe greets ruler on behalf of my highness!”

The one who spoke both wore a purple robe, However, their ages were largely different. One was around 30 whilst the other was around 60.

The voice was the same as the 2 who spoke just now. Although their expressions were cold their eyes were filled with trepidation.

That teen young master just smiled and did a simple introduction, “Thousand City Alliance Yang Shuixue!” He stood tall, looking gentleman-like.

On the contrary, that silver armored girl was filled with respect and solemness, “Great Shang East Suppressing governor commander Kong Yao greets ruler!”

Zong Shou thought to himself: it was that girl.

The 3 others were startled.

A governor commander position was already a 3rd grade official in Great Shang. East Suppressing was also a title. A title governor commander wasn’t that a general that led millions of elite, just weaker than a grade 2 chief commander.

Why was such a high ranked official of the central dynasty here?

That Kong Yao looked at Zong Shou who was seated on the elevated platform with a curious look. Shocked that such a young person. It was really hard to imagine that at 14 years old he led an army to sweep through numerous provinces.

However, when she took a look at the luxurious decoration in the side hall she shook her head.

The tables were built by red Xuan wood weighing 5 kilograms which could be compared to grade 4 spiritual weapons.

The sandalwood incense that was burnt here was the highest grade purple wood skystar incense. She thought about how her Great Shang emperor. Even if he owned the 3 seas, occupying half of the central continent, he was prudent and thrifty. What he used daily was not even 10% of this side hall. Kong Yao couldn’t help but shake her head. This person must be a genius but it was rightly said that he was too young and too arrogant.

The huge victory 2 years ago had made this person, but it had also destroyed him.

Zong Shou didn’t know what this Kong Yao was thinking. After the 4 of them greeted did he ask coldly, “Why have you all asked to meet me?”

When Gexin heard that, he stopped thinking about why that east suppressing governor commander came, bowing once more and saying solemnly, “I came on orders from my city lord to ask for half of Longze Province from your country!”

Zhangzhe was the same, his voice was cold, “Zhangzhe came also for that. Half of Fuyao province was under Blazing Flame Mountain. The people love their old king and the ruler can’t bear with it anymore, asking for it back today. Ruler, please be magnanimous!”

That white shirt teen smiled, standing to a side and not speaking. It was still that teasing gaze as he focused on Zong Shou, sizing him up.

When Zong Ling heard that, fury flashed in his eyes. He suppressed his emotions and kept calm. Thinking to himself: who cares about this? They’re 2 old rats daring to make noise in front of a giant lion?

Zong Shou also felt speechless. Looking at the people in the hall, he felt annoyed. In the end, he laughed, “What a coincidence. Recently I wanted to ask your city lords when are you going to give up the other half of Fuyao and Longze province to me?”

Gexin wasn’t surprised, laughing coldly, “Is the ruler serious? Do you want to fight with us Yunxia Mountain? There is something I shouldn’t say but at this moment I still want to persuade the ruler. It isn’t easy for Gantian Mountain to be built, don’t let it be destroyed by your rashness!”

Zhangzhe’s gaze also retracted, “Blazing Flame Mountain and Yunxia Mountain will advance and retreat together. We want peace but if we have to meet on the battlefield we aren’t afraid. Lingyun Sect…”

Before he finished, Zong Shou spread out his hand and threw an ink block over.

Zhangzhe instinctively wanted to avoid but just as he was about to move he felt a chill intent fill his body, unable to move at all. He was smashed in the head by the ink block, only feeling his head go dizzy, head breaking and blood flowing, unable to come back to his senses.

Zong Shou on the throne was calm, “Let’s just fight if you want, what’s with all the talking? If you are finished scram!”

That teen young master frowned, unable to look on anymore. He stood up once more, “Ruler, my Thousand City Alliance also…”

Before his words were completed, Zong Shou interrupted, “Thousand City Alliance, what is that?”
