Chapter 202: Preparing to Leave

Just as Xuanyuan Tong was worrying about Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountain, on a desolate and yellow path away from Xuan Mountain City, there were 2 groups of differently dressed people which were in a standstill.

There weren’t many of them, each around a hundred, but they all looked really fierce and strong. All their mounts were actually rare Windrider foals. The iron armor they wore were all elite equipment and talismans were carved on them. On the bodies of the 2 sides were many beast features.

At the center of that path sat two people opposite one another. One of them was really burly like that of a bear, his face filled with a mustache, and his glare was really vicious. The other had an average body, but he seemed quite muscular and well rounded. He was thin and the muscles on his body were moderate. However, the impression it gave one was that he was really dangerous. His 4 limbs also seemed to have really explosive strength.

“If that prince wants to return to Gantian Mountain, he won’t dare to pass our Yunxia Mountain territory. As for the land under your Blazing Flame Mountain, he can’t walk through there too…”

A total of 400 odd torches pinned on one side, lighting up this area like it was still day time.

That thin male lowered his head and took a branch as he drew on the ground. In a blink of an eye, a map of Donglin Cloud Continent appeared on the paper. Then, he used the branch in his hand to tap on a narrow and Long line that passed through a large part of the southwest cloud road.

“As for outside the cloud ocean, with Yuntao Cloud City locking it down, there is nowhere he can go. This is only the only path he can take…”

“Ruohai mountain range?”

The burly man smiled, “This place is really tough. There are at least 4 paths in and out of there, and they are relatively far from one another. The nearest is over a thousand miles. There are also numerous tens of thousands of feet tall mountains. Even with a cavalry army all equipped with cloudstepping foals, it would take 3 days to move around. It isn’t an easy matter to defend and block up this place. If there are only a few people around him, then it would be easy. Even my Blazing Flame Mountain can just find a few Xuanwu ancestors, but once Xuanyuan Tong fully supports him, without a huge army, we won’t be able to succeed. Moreover, this place is right between Gantian Mountain and Xuan Mountain City, If we don’t send enough, they would all die. If we send too much, it would shake both our foundations. I don’t think that the prince will dare to come. Is there a need to send so many troops?”

“This isn’t because of Zong Shou. It is only to break the communication between Xuan Mountain City and Gantian Mountain, to break its wing. It’s even better if Xuanyuan Tong is willing to send more troops. We can have a decisive battle in the Ruohai Mountain range. If not, we can build a City here. We each take charge. Within this Ruohai Mountain range, there are 25 mind stone mines that belong to Gantian Mountain and Xuan Mountain City, which we can both take. Did you come for that? Those 3 people hoped for Zong Shou to return to the mountain, but now he had obtained the support of Xuanyuan Tong. That iron tiger’s attitude is also uncertain. Be it Zong Shi or Zong Yang, they have to be anxious and nervous. If it was in the past and they were unwilling to send some troops, both of us would have no chance. Only now do we still have some hope.”

The thin-looking male scoffed coldly, “Stop trying to probe. The bear race’s many tribes are all direct and straightforward people. However, your flame bear race is so cunning. I won’t take advantage of you, but this Ruohai Mountain Ranger is a little far from my Yunxia Mountain. At most I can only send 450 thousand elites, 7 Xuanwu ancestors. How about 600 thousand for your Blazing Flame Mountain? With 200 thousand troops at the 4 exits, we can have a war with Xuan Mountain City!”

“That would be the best!”

That burly looking man didn’t reject it, nodding his head in agreement right away. However, his eyes revealed a probing expression,” but Brother Feng, is your Yunxia Mountain really planning on killing that prince?”

The brows of the thin male frowned but he scoffed coldly, “Why? What good will killing him do for us? It will only benefit those 3. To be able to capture him alive and have him as a card is the best. If we have no choice, then I would kill him. Anyways, let both of us just show off our ability.”

The brute laughed out. Then, he also took a branch and pointed on the map, “Then this matter is settled. But before the army gathers I would like to head over to take a look. Is Brother Feng interested in taking this trip with me?”

“This place is Jiefu City?” Feng Yu’s brows furrowed as he looked towards where Xiong Kui pointed to, his eyes showed that he was deep in thought.

“Yes!”

Xiong Kui nodded slightly, “To enter the Ruohai Mountain range, no matter which route it is, you have to pass this city. It is the 3rd biggest cultivator market in Donglin Cloud Continent, and it is said that recently Pill Fountain Sect And Kongqi Sect each have a batch of pills that they want to sell. This makes the area really bustling. I guess that the Gantian Mountain prince will mostly go take a look. No matter what, I’ll join in the fun. Also, I want to see what kind of ability that the prince has. To make Xuanyuan Tong nod his head and really marry his Daughter to that trash…”

Feng Yu only thought for a short moment before slightly nodding. Their Yunxia Mountain also needed to buy some high-grade herbs and it would be good to take a look.

…

Xuanyuan Yiren’s Pill refining speed was really quick. Day and night she refined the pills. The few grade 2 and 3 pills Zong Shou needed were mostly done in just a short few days.

Zong Shou went to visit her every day, morning, noon and night. He personally witnessed that little clown slowly exhaust herself. He couldn’t help but feel heart pained. He wanted to help, but Yiren felt like he was an annoyance and forced him out of the pill room.

Zong Shou was helpless and could only vent all his anger and frustration on Zong Yuan. From morning to night, he taught and drilled him. Within 24 hours a day, Zong Yuan only had an hour of rest.

It made Hu Zhongyuan feel his hair stand on their end, each day he would hide far away. When he looked at Zong Shou, he would hide into a corner. He was really afraid this obviously abusive prince would remember about him and viciously teach him a lesson.

But after 5-6 days passed, Hu Zhongyuan felt envious instead. Although Zong Yuan was having it tough, his improvement speed was terrifying. Since breaking through to martial ancestor, it was like a flood bursting a damp, unable to block. Using the power of pills, in just 10 days he totally opened up the 4th earth chakra meridian.

It seemed like he needed just half a month and he could merge a new spiritual vein and truly enter the 4th meridian realm.

On the contrary, he had stagnated and showed no improvement. It was obvious that he had touched the pillar of Xuanwu ancestor but was unable to find a way to breakthrough. Looking at the situation without 4-5 years of accumulating strength, he didn’t need to think about improving.

Feeling jealous of Zong Yuan’s improvement, Hu Zhongyuan immediately changed his strategy. From day to the night he would stick to Zong Shou, shaking his head, waving his hand. The only thing he didn’t do was directly say he was here, notice me. Come, prince, come and torture me!

Zong Shou didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. He didn’t have time to bother about him and only casually instructed him on some mistakes of his sword aura, following the previous promise and teaching him a knife technique that came out from the tiger race, making him extremely delighted.

However, whilst he was happy, he also felt silently unhappy. Thinking that as expected looks were important, that Zong Yuan was young and looked handsome, a total pretty boy. Did he have some “relationship” with the prince? Is not why the prince liked to torture him and not look for Hu Zhongyuan?

Over 10 days later, the final cooling snow rustic pill on the formula was finally refined. The current Xuanyuan Yiren was totally exhausted, making Zong Shou feel really guilty. In the last two days in Xuan Mountain City, he didn’t leave her side a single inch.

Until the 15th day after their arrival in the city did Zong Shou remember about his agreement with Hu Qianqiu, that only 20 days were left. He unwillingly started his journey.

The group of them was accompanied by Xuanyuan Yiren out of the city. However, just as they reached the city gates, they saw a black flood of cavalry orderly standing by the side.

They were all dressed in black armor, equipped with a four-inch-long knife, a steel spear and a big vermillion red bow.

The mounts they had were all special. They were similar to lizards but also different. Not only were their bodies beautiful, their 4 limbs Long, but they were also pale green in color and there seemed to be 2 devolved wings growing from its sides. They similarly could hover in mid-air, a foot above the ground.

“This is the wind winged dragon beast? Xuan Mountain City’s mysterious armor wind dragon cavalry?”

Zong Shou’s eyes instantly constructed. The wind winged dragon beast was also a grade 3 beast. Its speed was several levels higher than the cloud stepping foal and just a little worse than the wind rider foal.

However, the leather on the beast was tough to pierce with blades, it was also really huge, suitable for war formations. Its speed was slightly slower but in quantity, it was much more available than Windrider foals.

The Xuan Mountain City’s mysterious armor wind dragon cavalry was an elite cavalry army whose name spread through the entire continent. In terms of ranking, it was even above the fire wolf cavalry of Yunxia City.

Ones that could suppress it would be his father’s personal black wolf iron cavalry. Legend has it that the cavalry within were all dual cultivators. There were only around a thousand, but they were invincible. Even those sects had to fear the sharpness of his cavalry.

However, after Zong Weiran hid into the Oblivion Cloud Ocean, no one knew where the black fox iron cavalry went to.

When he was east of Donglin Cloud Continent, especially after he left Pill spirit mountain, the reason why the powers were sending small fries to probe was that they were worried about the Monster king’s personal army.

Casually looking at the cavalry, there were tens of xiantian masters. Apart from which there were ten martial ancestors, each leading 10 groups of hundred.

Although each person had really strong martial arts, they weren’t arrogant at all. They solemnly stood at the side, quite like a forest with no signs of making a move. However, the strong aura they gave out makes it tough for one to breathe.

On estimate, this thousand men army could crush that Cloud Saint City and Lianhai City into flat land.

He was startled for a short while before he understood what Xuanyuan Tong meant. His heart was filled with gratitude whilst scolding silently. He was prepared to tease and play with Yiren before leaving, but looking at the situation, that was not possible.

He led his horse to the front of this group of cavalry, only to see Xuanyuan Tong smiling, “Your Mother in law doesn’t want to see you. She is really prideful and has always been like that. Don’t blame her.”

Seeing Zong Shou nod and bow, nothing strange with his expression. Xuanyuan Tong looked behind him, “This is my personal army that I trained up in ten over years. From now on I hand them to you! They have followed me for tens of years so you don’t have to worry…”
