Chapter 721: Master Falling?
Donglin Cloud Continent, Xuexun City. This place was 3,000 miles away from Rainbow City. It was close to the Cloud Ocean, back to the plains, connected to all areas.
Especially in the recent few years, it beca prosperous, becoming a port only smaller than that of Rainbow City.
However, at this mont, the south of the city was ablaze. Nurous cries spread for dozens of miles, a real tragic feeling all around.
A group of Blood-Colored Cavalry galloped in the air like thunder.
They chased forward at the few Taoists who were leaving into the distance.
A few of them suffered heavy injuries, but they could barely maintain it. Their magical laugh shook the wilderness.
Zong Yuan’s brow rose, his thin Phoenix eyes were filled with rage. He suddenly tossed out the spear in his hand. Instantly, it passed 100,000 feet. Blood and lightning glow flashed as one of the Taoists were blown up, scattering into flesh and blood. This caused the laughter to stop.
However, right as they chased near the shore of the Cloud Ocean, Zong Yuan frowned and stopped.
The entire cavalry force slowly stopped. It wasn’t that they couldn’t chase up, but that they weren’t willing to be diverted by the enemy.
Although he wasn’t the commander of the Blood Cloud Cavalry, he controlled all cavalry troops in Gantian Mountain now. Naturally, he knew the importance. What was lost couldn’t be salvaged, what was important was to reduce any more casualties.
Just as those people disappeared from their field of sight, a Taoist stepped out from the mist, standing still 500,000 feet away.
Zong Yuan didn’t attack. These few days he realized how tough it was to handle this person. It wasn’t that he couldn’t win, but that his traveling thod was extrely weird. He was also good at the Path of Space, each ti he would be able to escape easily.
All in all, Zong Yuan didn’t have much confidence in him and thus wasn’t willing to exert much effort.
He felt weird, not knowing what the reason was for him appearing alone?
“I am Zigui, I request to et Inspector Kong...”
Request to et Kong Yao?
The doubt in his eyes grew. However, before he was able to think about it, he felt a person step up from within Xuexun City.
Without needing to look, he knew that it was definitely Kong Yao.
A silver crafted armor made her look valiant and heroic. Her brow was tightly furrowed, her pupils were filled with rage.
“I am Kong Yao!”
She asked, “The people are innocent, don’t you think you all are too much?”
Even if she supported being unscrupulous during the war, she couldn’t accept massacring civilians.
“To succeed, one doesn’t bother with small matters! If not how can we shake your Gantian Mountain foundations? With your intelligence, it is surprising that you are so dumb.”
Zigui broke out into laughter, but he didn’t want to mock her anymore, “Moreover, it isn’t up to . I am just following the orders of the Vast Habitat.”
Kong Yao laughed coldly and shook her head, “Based on what I know, 60% of people in Xuexun City believe in Taoism. The people who died believe that they are supporting our cause...”
“If our Taoist Faction wants disciples to support our kindness, they need to also fear our Taoism thods. This is the only good thod.”
He impassively said this, before his gaze switched and he sized up Kong Yao.
“Let’s not talk about this matter. So useless bugs, who cares if they died. They are probably just so numbers to you, no need to care too much. I ca just to see you. I have been curious, be it intelligence or plans, you are above . What kind of person, what kind of woman are you? eting you today I really am not disappointed.”
Kong Yao frowned once more, she didn’t like the disdain and how he was looking down on her.
“Today, I have lost this engagent. Your planning of changing illusionary to real is so well used. These 4,000 Blood Cavalry were still east of Donglin yesterday like they were rushing to Cloud Saint. Today, they silently rushed back to Gantian Mountain. You even arranged 200,000 troops in this city. If not for being prepared in advance, we probably would have totally died here.”
Zigui smiled rcifully and out of interest looked out at Xuexun City which was in flas.
Suddenly his tone changed, his eyes filled with passion as he looked at Kong Yao.
“You are Zong Shou’s Concubine? But why are you still a virgin now?”
This one sentence startled everyone. Zigui’s tone was filled with confusion.
“Why not be my Dao companion? During these 213 years, I have never t a girl that could interest . You are the first...”
The killing intent on Zong Yuan’s face was extrely thick. He didn’t allow anyone to offend Zong Shou, which also included his concubine.
He served Kong Yao for close to a year and respected her ability, he didn’t allow anyone to humiliate her.
Kong Yao spoke out coldly, “Dao Companion? Who are you even to compare with a single toe of my Husband? I can’t do anything to you, but if my husband found out, he would slice your tongue to feed the dogs! Your Taoist Faction has had 25 Sects wiped out. Can your Vast Habitat even protect you?”
Zigui’s expression changed, fluctuating between white and green. He laughed, “The Monster King’s actions are truly unexpected. However, the damage is already done, how can a person make much difference? Gantian Mountain will fall within three months, there is nothing Zong Shou can do about it. Kong Yao, you are smart and should know about that. Why not leave a way out for your father and yourself?”
When Kong Yao heard that, a bright smile appeared on her face. “However, yesterday my father viewed the stars. He said that there is an Emperor Star to the South. Your Taoist Faction might have a decent sized blood calamity, with a Master falling...”
Zigui was startled. He had heard about Kong Yao’s father Kong Rui.
He was great at Divination Techniques. He was famous all over Great Shang with his skills. In recent years, his na sprung up in the Cultivation World, rising to the sa level as Zhongxuan.
Legend had it that he once had a bet with Zhongxuan about Kong Yao’s fate. In the end, Kong Rui won.
Who knew that Kong Yao would be unstoppable after being in charge of a million troops?
She fought against a majority, against the Night Demons. In the end, she destroyed the Night Demon Army beneath Seven Cloud Mountain and beca a famous Commander.
During the battle against the Taoist Faction these few days, she was worth her fa.
She was in dozens of engagents and in each she caused heavy losses to the enemy. They had to retreat and did not dare to be too unrestrained.
Kong Rui actually said that? This wasn’t Kong Yao just random saying stuff?
Zigui’s eyes were filled with doubt.
The so-called Master, in a country, was a Ruler of a country. In their Vast Habitat, without the Taoist Revered One, then naturally it referred to Wu Xu.
However, how was that possible? Not ntioning how he only sat within the palace to plot and command, he never personally descended to fight and had never got out of Daoling Vast Habitat.
Even if he did, it would be when he was confident.
He was really clear about the personality of his Senior Brother. He was extrely calm and safe, no one could threaten him, no one could anger him. No one could shake his mind. He was like a Stone Buddha.
Scoffing coldly, Zigui wanted to mock a few more sentences. His heart suddenly moved and felt the surrounding aura get close.
He scoffed angrily, turning around and stepping into the void.
Kong Yao felt slight regret when she saw this. She waved her sleeves and those few Spirit Realm Cultivators who were getting close all dissipated.
At this mont, Zong Yuan kept his halberd and galloped over. His eyes flashed and he looked below with an emotionless expression.
“How many casualties?”
“Around 23,000 people, the details are unknown.”
Kong Yao’s expression turned solemn as she laughed bitterly, “23,000 Elites, mostly heavily injured, Fuling Sect lost another Spirit Realm.”
It was her fault this ti. She didn’t expect them to send 20 Spirit Realm Experts. There was even 120 Grade-9 Experts. Her preparations were insufficient.
Zong Shou was expressionless, he had killed 13, 3 of which were Spirit Realm Experts.
It could be said to be worth it, but things couldn’t be considered like that. Both sides suffered huge losses.
Kong Yao shook her head slightly, “Actually, if Ruler returns, we just need one year and Central Cloud Continent will definitely change. At that ti, there would be no way they can affect us...”
Zong Yuan nodded when he heard this. He knew that the Central Continent was like an oil barrel, which could explode at any mont.
A year ago using the Donglin matter, Emperor Yuancheng removed the Yang Family’s Minister position and even wanted to take back its race feudal land. It also suppressed so of the Aristocratic Families.
Zong Yuan understood what he ant, which was to force them to revolt. To deal with those Aristocratic Families who could threaten the throne when he was still alive, before the huge chaotic period arrived.
However, it also caused the situation there to be a spark away from chaos.
The Hidden Guards also found out so news. That there were so forr Emperor Race mbers who appeared in the Imperial Capital.
Once war started there, no matter how unwilling the Taoists were, they needed to first deal with their own problems before thinking about anything else.
“Ruler is not soone who doesn’t fight back and allow others to play him.”
When he said this, his expression beca rather complicated.
“Ruler is soone who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He wouldn’t watch on and see innocent people get injured because of him.”
Kong Yao laughed, cold on the outside warm on the inside? She knew about it on Lianyun Island.
These few million people ended up making such a simple matter into such a complicated one.
To think he is a Saint Ruler.
If it was the Great Shang Emperor, he wouldn’t have bothered.
Her hands and legs were tied because of this and so she couldn’t do many things.
For example, today if she was more vicious and placed a Demon Path Blood Sacrifice Formation here, to use the lives and blood Essence of those tens of thousands of people, she would be able to kill more Taoist Spirit Realm Experts.
However, if that fellow found out, he wouldn’t be happy...
Her eyes flashed as she looked into the distance, thinking back to what Kong Rui told her before.
Taoist blood disaster, Master falling, who knows if it was true or not?
Recently, her father said that he used the Saint King Energy to train his body, causing his cultivation to improve greatly. However, could Wu Xu really fall?
Kong Yao shook her head in disbelief.
