Chapter 971: Two Hours

“…Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty Saint Emperor decrees Great Gan small King: I know all about what happened in Yuanlian World! I know that Hong Jiuchen and the rest are not in the wrong. You have no proof of what you said. Shadow Demons are hated by people of all worlds, so how can their words be taken for the truth?”

“Even if they made a mistake, as a subject of mine, I will deal with Hong Jiuchen myself. How can you tell me what to do? To hand over his head, that is truly preposterous!”

“…I know Hong Jiuchen and you have some conflicts due to the fight for Yuanlian World. However, he already has plans to calm the matter down. As a Ruler of a country, how can you be so narrow-sighted? To grab so tightly to these grievances and you even want to push the blame to us?”

When he saw this Zong Shou couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

It was okay if they denied it, but they actually tried to put the blame on him?

Looking at this, Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty’s stand on this matter was really obvious.

As expected, a war was unavoidable this time.

Zong Shou still suppressed his emotions and continued to read the details of the decree.

“…How crazy! To want us to give up land, to give up 5 small-sized words, you really are the joke of the world! The Ruler of an ant nation, with less than a million troops and less than 10 Celestial Realm Cultivators. To think you actually dare to say such words and force us to give up land? Your brain must not be working?”

“Let me ask you something, small King Zong Shou, are you crazy? Or, is it that you don’t value your own life? Or, maybe as the rumors say, you are just stupid?”

“A swallow doesn’t know how vast the sky is, someone in the well doesn’t know how deep the ocean is! How would ants like you know the strength of countries in this region? Since you want to provoke us, then I will give you what you want. I will gather my allies to sent troops to attack Yuanlian! We won’t return until we win!”

“Finally, let me tell you that I will give you half a day to back out of Yuanlian and you are never to step into this world! If not, no matter who is in our way, they will be killed! With this said, don’t blame my following actions…”

There wasn’t any signing off at the bottom, just a few words…”This decree has been sent to all worlds to let them know about this!”

The entire decree wasn’t complete but it was really direct and sharp. It was really domineering, quite similar to just scolding and trying one’s best to humiliate and insult.

Zong Shou had predicted that the contents of the decree weren’t going to be good.

After looking at it, the corner of his eyes twitched.

Even if he was a decent person, it was tough for him to calm down.

Crazy? Stupid?

Zong Shou shook his head slightly and his emotions calmed down once more.

However, to outsiders, Zong Shou probably portrayed such an image; he had under his control around 10,000 miles of land and only around a billion people under him.

To think he actually dared to provoke Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty who owned hundreds of worlds, and just Xuan and Huang Grade Dao Soldiers alone numbered in the millions.

This was no different from asking to die!

Moreover, apart from Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty, he also offended Xuanling Guild, Jijue Celestial Dynasty, and Tianfang Guild.

What Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty Saint Emperor said wasn’t wrong.

He laughed, stood up and took a step out, arriving in the air of the Yuanjing Celestial Palace.

At this moment, the entire Celestial Palace was boiling. Everyone who could fly had already flown up into the air and looked at the decree. Their expressions were all different but none of their expressions looked good.

Most of them were trying their best to keep calm while a portion of them were pumped up.

Apart from that, there was still some worry and fear spreading in the group causing the morale of the Celestial Palace to sink.

Pretty much everyone noticed the emphasis of the decree.

Once Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty went all out to attack Yuanlian, who knows what the situation would be like?

Even if Zong Shou gave them a lot of confidence these few months, it was unavoidable that they were nervous.

Only those Source Ocean and Spirit Changing Demon Slaying Warriors looked normal and their expressions didn’t change.

The former didn’t really understand the situation in Yuanlian and the latter only roughly knew about Zong Shou’s foundations. They knew the background of this master.

To many people, this Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty Ruler really deserved to die.

As for the latter, most of them had their souls washed and there were restrictions in their minds. They only knew about being loyal to their Master and they didn’t bother much concern themselves too much about their own life and death.

After those words appeared, they stopped for a moment in the air. Only then did the Spiritual Energy of the decree run out.

Just as the scroll was about to land, Zong Shou reached out and grabbed it.

The arrival of the decree also meant that Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty was prepared and that all matters were settled.

Zong Shou didn’t smile but he was deep in thought.

At the same time, there was a weird movement in the air. Moments later a person suddenly appeared beside him.

“Young Master!”

The voice was really sunken and cold, calling him Young Master and not Ruler. It was Yexuan who was originally hiding a few worlds away.

“Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty is about to attack. Brother Ao has headed outside the World River to hide and can help at any moment. Senior Aoyi used the Mirror Shining World Technique to peek, the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty sent at least 6 Saint Realm Cultivators! Apart from that, who knows if they have other methods prepared? This is why Young Master has to be really careful! In the battle, Young Master should not be too far from me!”

Zong Shou didn’t care much and was still slightly distracted. A moment later, he opened his mouth, “The decree scolds me for being crazy, that I am a swallow, an idiot…”

Yexuan was stunned when he heard this and found it rather amusing. Then, he felt that it wasn’t right. With Zong Shou’s character, he shouldn’t worry much about these insults.

Thinking about it for a moment, Yexuan nodded his head, “This person is asking for death!”

He had not gone head-on against the Sky Burning Saint Dynasty and he didn’t know how strong the Lu Family was.

He clearly remembered that the Country Ruler just sent someone to spread a sentence which knocked him off his cloud.

With what Hong Jiuchen said, his head would have been cut off.

Then, with what the Emperor said, his country would be wiped out to wash away the insult to show the might of the Sky Burning Lu Family.

“The problem is that this Celestial Ruler does not know what kind of stupid thing he has done!”

This voice spread out from another side, it was Lu Wubing who was slowly walking over.

“If he was slightly knowledgeable, he wouldn’t have done this!”

Zong Shou looked at Lu Wubing with a profound expression but didn’t say anything.

He couldn’t judge what Lu Wubing was saying.

For the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty to be so extreme in his decree, not worrying about the outcome, there was only one possibility; he didn’t know about the Lu Sky Burning Family Heir positional changes. He probably didn’t even hear any news of it which was why he was so unrestrained.

Logically speaking, even if the Lu Family tried to control and prevent the news from spreading out, there should have been some rumors that leaked.

However, from the time the Nine Extreme Death Jail collapse, 100 days had passed. Why hadn’t this Country Ruler heard any news at all?

Zong Shou’s eyes were filled with worry which quickly faded.

Be it the Country Ruler Xuanhua or his great grandfather, even those few End Realm Saint Venerables wouldn’t be able to do that.

Only if many sides worked together then it could be possible.

He could guess that his mother’s situation in the Sky Burning Celestial Dynasty wouldn’t be that good.

For a Pureblood descendant of the family to appear and then keep it a secret was a message.

Country Ruler Xuanhua was actually so skilled!

Thinking about this, Zong Shou had an urge laugh. He really wanted to cut himself into half.

He was really concerned about the Common People’s Vast Habitat and also about his mother.

However, he couldn’t be too anxious and could only settle each matter one at a time.

Yanyuan and Jueyan were protecting his mother and her safety wouldn’t be an issue,

Common People’s Vast Habitat was what he had to really worry about.

However, due to the agreement with the Taoist Sect, he couldn’t enter the Cloud World in 20 years and couldn’t interfere in Cloud World matters.

Even if he went back, it would be useless…

He mocked himself, he hadn’t even solved the existing issues, so what was the point worrying about all this?

Zong Shou looked at the decree in his hand and then he laughed.

“Speaking of which, these things are really annoying!”

“You can really laugh at this moment?”

Along with Lu Wubing were also Zhao Yanran and Feng Taiji. After they arrived, they looked at Yexuan with weird expressions on their faces.

They didn’t know where this person came from and what his background was like.

Zhao Yanran was also really weird but she just took a glance and didn’t worry too much about it.

What she cared more about was the current situation. She laughed coldly, “Didn’t you see how the decree is telling the various worlds about you? If you lose or if you flee, you will become a laughing stock. However, if you fight with him, how are you going to win? I really want to see what skills you have…”

The moment she said this, Feng Taiji and Zifang’s expressions changed slightly and they both became serious.

What Zhao Yanran said was what they were thinking about in their heart, what they were really worried about. They came for this reason.

Even Ruoshui who spent loads of time with Zong Shou also paid close attention.

Zong Shou turning to face Lu Wubing.

“Wubing, what do you think? Wait or attack now?”

“Since they are prepared, then there is no need to wait!”

Lu Wubing didn’t hesitate, firmly shaking his head, “With this decree in hand, you have everything you need, there is no need to wait for them to attack. Half a day is too long, I don’t have the patience to wait. Ruler, please give the orders!”

Zong Shou laughed. He too also didn’t have such patience to wait. After ending this quickly, he could head over to the Cloud World at ease.

“Since that is the case…”

He raised his eyes and looked right at Zhuang Yu in the distance. He too walked over with a document in his hand, his eyes were filled with worry.

Zong Shou casually glanced and knew that this was the military infomation from the various areas.

As expected, they were facing problems at the border and armies were drawing close.

He didn’t bother, asking directly, “All the Spirit Changing Demon Warriors, 9,000 Black Fox Iron Cavalry, 60,000 Big Dipper Soldiers all under your control. How long do you need to crush their 200,000 Dao Soldiers?”

Zhuang Yu’s brow rose up, he had come for advice.

Who knew that Zong Shou would actually say that? Shouldn’t those 500 Demon Slaying Warriors be used outside?

He didn’t hesitate, cupping his fists, “Two hours!”

70,000 Dao Soldiers facing 3 times the number of enemy soldiers, he had no chances of winning. But with 500 Spirit Changing Demon Slaying Warriors, the situation would be really quite different.
