Chapter 965: Shocking News

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

“My Shura Race only produces 10 of these Taiyi God Lightning Ships every year. If you want to buy them, I can give you a discounted price. It can be lowered to around 2,500 or we can add 2 more towers. 10 of them can also be handed over in a month. The Spaceships can only be given to you at a discounted price this time. After today, you might not have a chance to buy them…”

Seemingly seeing through Zong Shou’s thoughts, Chahou Hu tried to tempt him and added to the stakes.

Zong Shou’s heart jumped once more.

Naturally, he knew that what Chahou Hu said was true.

No matter which family it was, a Taiyi God Lightning Ship was an important item, a key item to control the outer region World River.

Just one could fight against a Peak Celestial Realm Cultivator. If one had a Celestial Realm Cultivator commanding it, the combat strength could increase by several folds.

It was something that had no supply. The workload was huge and to build one a year required at least 30 Celestial Realm and above blacksmiths.

Powers like Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty and Xuanling Guild probably didn’t have such powers either.

For him to hand over the goods within a month meant that it would be in time for the upcoming battle.

Moreover, if he wanted to take control of all the small-sized worlds nearby, then he had to have a strong space fleet.

The normal Spaceships he had now were not sufficient for his needs.

If he had 20 of these specialized warships at hand, not only could he control the area around Yuanlian, he could even suppress the area.

He really couldn’t reject it…

Besides, there was an upper limit of 20.

Zong Shou didn’t hesitate to buy them all.

“There is no need to lower the price, add two more towers. However, since I can’t pay all at once then Brother Cha, please allow me to pay in installments.”

Seeing as Chahou Hu did not object, Zong Shou treated it as if he was agreeing.

With that, he owned 30,000 Low-Grade Celestial Stones.

Zong Shou wasn’t interested in anything else and wasn’t willing to suffer from more interests, which was why after browsing at the remaining list he wanted to just end it.

However, when the corner of his eyes glanced across at the bottom he was tempted once more.

“Spirit Realm Slave Cultivators? What are these?”

“Like the name suggests, naturally they are Spirit Realm Cultivators. Our race didn’t conquer the outer region, so we don’t have many of these slaves and we don’t do such business. However, they are really common in the various bazaars.”

He explained, “Don’t worry Brother Zong. Since we dare to take them out to sell, then naturally we solved all problems. Their memories have been wiped and it is the same as having another personality built for them. If they could betray their masters occur, normally the prestigious merchants would take responsibility. Many powers will buy them to make Dao Soldiers or Slave Puppets. Some even use them for Blood Sacrifice. Your Cloud World Taoist Sect made a huge deal, buying 1,000 of them 3 years ago. Who knows for what reason…”

Zong Shou’s face instantly turned green. If before he wasn’t sure whether Chahou Hu was really helping him, now after seeing the ships and the slaves, he knew that his person was definitely placing all his chips on him.

Chahou Hu seemed to know what he was lacking the most now. The list displayed exactly the things that he needed.

What was shocking was the news that Chahou Hu mentioned after.

The Taoist Sect bought 1,000 Spirit Realm Slaves at once? What were they preparing to do?

“This matter is a secret but there aren’t airtight walls in this world. I was fortunate to find out about it recently. Although the few factions of your Cloud World aren’t that strong in this region and their foundations aren’t that deep, no matter where they are placed, they will still be a mighty force…”

Chahou Hu continued and then he asked, “How many is Brother Zong willing to purchase? I have no available stock but I can help you purchase them and they can also arrive in Yuanlian World in a month. If you don’t trust my people, then you can test the goods out. I am sure those controlling heart methods won’t be hidden away from you. Oh! Right, I remember that there is a merchant squad of mine nearby. They are helping a Slave Merchant send items. If you are willing to increase the price and negotiate, you can get them in 3 days.”

Zong Shou looked straight at Chahou Hu, not saying anything, directly drawing the number 500.

As long as one had enough people and enough resources, one could naturally increase the number of Earth Grade Dao Soldiers.

Once Yuanlian World stabilized, naturally he could draw more cultivators over to join him.

Actually, there wasn’t much cash needed to purchase them, the 500 Slaves only cost 30,000.

Who knows whether it was a coincidence, but both added together was a nice 60,000.

Luckily, the materials needed to refine Spirit Changing Demon Slaying Warriors were a grade lower than Heaven Grade Dao Soldiers.

Zong Shou himself also purchased a lot and there were enough materials in Yuanlian World, so there was no need for him to purchase anymore.

With this deal settled, Zong Shou had a casual conversation with Chahou Hu.

In the open, they were chatting and talking about cultivation experience but in the dark both sides knew that they were probing one another.

However, after half a day, neither side was able to ascertain anything. Chahou Hu’s mouth was really tight and he wasn’t willing to reveal much. Zong Shou also didn’t reveal any of his emotions on his face.

In the end, he found it boring and scolded Little Fox, before he decided to not stay any longer.

As for the ally discussion, he did have such an idea but he didn’t mention it.

The fact that the Shura Race had moved their people away from here made their stand clear, that they weren’t willing to directly interfere. Zong Shou naturally got rid of this thought and didn’t ask for rejection.

He walked out of the palace in the sky and traveled beneath the clouds.

He felt startled that the Shura Race had so many resources.

Soon his Great Gan would instantly own 200 Celestial Realms, 600 Spirit Realms, and tens of thousands of Xuan and Huang Grade Dao Soldiers too.

Such a power, even during periods of abundant Spiritual Energy would allow one to own a region.

In the outer region, he was far stronger than Tianfang Guild that had existed for 10,000 years.

Unknowingly, he had already reached such a stage…

He thought back to how the Shura Race could send over so many resources in a month. If they told him they didn’t prepare in advance he wouldn’t believe them.

Most probably they were waiting for him. However, if he wasn’t the one who unified Yuanlian…

Zong Shou laughed and his final doubts were removed.

These things were mostly prepared for Zhuang Yu, but in the end it benefitted him.

As for whether or not Chahou Hu increased the stakes because of him, Zong Shou didn’t know and there was no need for him to care.

When he returned to the Yuanjing Celestial Palace, most of the others had all rushed back.

Only Jingyin and Xuan Yunlan weren’t there. The two of them didn’t like to fight and kill people as they didn’t like war matters. However, at the same time, they had the ability to save the wounded and heal their wounds.

The Spiritual Tunes that Xuan Yunlan could play could help smooth out meridians and heal injuries. They could even provoke life force such that people rose up from the dead.

When Jingyin was in the Buddhist Faction, it was said that she studied the Merciful Thousand Leaf Spiritual Curse. She also had healing abilities that were even a level higher than Xuan Yunlan, which was why although the two of them didn’t join in true war matters, they were well respected.

Before Zong Shou arrived, even if Zhuang Yu had a godlike ability, he was unable to prevent casualties in the southwest battlefield.

The two of them stayed at the border to take care of the wounded.

Based on what Xuan Yunlan said, she couldn’t just watch on as they died. As for Jingyin, she felt that saving a life was really meritorious.

Zong Shou found it a waste. He wanted to see Jingyin to see if there was any difference between the two.

He could sense that Xuan Yunlan might really not want to return whereas Jingyin was most probably trying to avoid him.

He returned to the Yuanjing Palace and didn’t worry about anything else. He grabbed Ruoshui to sleep together and only after a full day and night of madness did he start to deal with proper matters.

As the Ruler of the Celestial Dynasty, he had his responsibilities.

Luckily, the few countries under him had their own Rulers to handle matters.

Great Gan just needed to collect money. As for tough matters that needed to be settled, the Meeting Hall would be able to make decisions when he wasn’t here.

With Sword Sect, Buddhist Faction and Common People’s Path as well as the various countries restricting one another, they wouldn’t easily harm his interests.

The things he had to deal with were mostly regarding military as well as the Celestial Realm Cultivators who he recruited.

The first person he met was naturally Zhuang Yu who helped him take care of the entire situation.

However, the first document he handed over surprised Zong Shou.

“You want to remove the Xuandou Guards?”

He was really surprised. Zong Shou had been really careful not to touch them.

They were like Zhuang Yu’s private army and he allowed him to do whatever he wished.

He was prepared to deal with it in the future but who knew that Zhuang Yu would raise it up himself.

“Ruler’s Big Dipper Sword Soldiers are much stronger. If we don’t remove them, we will be just wasting resources.”

Zhuang Yu cupped his fists, “Moreover, during these few years you have always kept your promises, making me trust you. I heard that your subjects in the Cloud World all removed their private armies, so I can’t be an exception. Moreover, I don’t have much money to raise so many people.”

Zong Shou laughed when he heard this and knew that now this commander was truly his.

“Then let’s follow your intentions! Those 20,000 Xuandou Guards will all convert themselves into Big Dipper Sword Soldiers. Based on the Great Gan system, you can choose 3,000 to be your close Guards.”

With this matter decided, Zong Shou flipped the second document.

He was still surprised. In it he was really detailed in describing his thoughts and experience in using the Black Fox Iron Cavalry.

Their strengths, their weaknesses, how to improve, they were all written in detail.

A satisfied expression appeared on Zong Shou’s face.

The person was really devoted!

He only perfected their armor but the support cultivation method was still lacking.

Zhuang Yu’s document had made up for his last shortfall.
