Chapter 435: Why be Afraid?

The voice was low and clean, but as the surroundings were silent, it spread out over ten miles of land.

Ji Lingzi’s brows rose up. He had never heard of this name before. Then, his heart sunk slightly as he knew that this name would spread all across the cloud world in a few days.

He remembered that the common people path 20 years ago, one Fangwen and one Shui Lingbo pretty much took up all the attention of the era.

20 years later, yet another Tanqiu appeared…

Just as he was speechless, suddenly a person ran out of the cavalry forces and said coldly, “The first seat has said that he will let you guys take good care of the ten over people from the common people path. Remember to feed them well and let them drink well. A month later, we will exchange people with you.”

After finishing, he laughed out loud and chased up to those 400 common people mysterious dragon warriors.

Ji Lingzi was so depressed that he wanted to spit out blood. He could only look on as this cavalry army left leisurely.

If these common people path dao soldiers were used to charge at their formation, it might be lacking a little in numbers. But if they attacked and retreated, attacked and retreated, there was nothing they could do on their side.

Not only did the number of grade 7 experts on both sides equalize, but their elite cavalry were also at a disadvantage.

Moreover, with Longling and Muling in their hands, there was nothing they could do about it.

A moment later, the last person of the common people mysterious dragon warrior disappeared from their field of sight.

That Yuan Jiuchen also walked out of the formation, standing right beside Ji Lingzi. His expression turned green, uglily looking at the direction in which the common people path people left in.

“This common people path is really lucky. To have such a monstrous person after Shui Lingbo. Forget about the other stuff. Brother Ji Lingzi, how should we handle it today?”

Ji Lingzi took in a deep breath, suppressing the emotions in his heart.

An unparalleled famous general wasn’t scary, but to grasp the extreme of the sword sense and being someone who was able to become the shield for the entire common people path—that was what was terrifying.

“This person is indeed a problem. Only the matter today hasn’t ended. Today, junior brother Tailing and also the blood debt from hundreds of fellow disciples dying, we have to take revenge…”

Yuan Jiuchen’s eyes lit up, recovering some focus and excitement. What he feared was that Tailing Sect would give up halfway. Which would mean abandoning him? Although he was now still the general in charge of Yan City Pass, without any similar power protecting him, the common people path just needed one fingertip to crush him.

…Just now, he was really afraid. For the first time, he was feeling regretful.

To get in the good books of Tailing Sect, for those insubstantial riches and fame to offend such a giant being like the common people path, was it worth it?

He also knew that at this moment this Ji Lingzi was like a gambler who had lost everything, eager to win it back. However standing at his point of view, Yuan Jiuchen had to remind him.

“Brother! We should naturally take revenge for junior brother Tailing. But this kid’s sword path is one with the spirit and is tough to deal with. With just 400 common people mysterious dragon warriors in his hands he would be invincible on the battlefield. Today we have suffered heavy losses, our strength greatly decreasing. I am afraid we aren’t his opponent. Why not we first return to Tailing Mountain and plan for the long run…”

Ji Lingzi was startled, glancing towards that Yuan Jiuchen. Only then did he realize that this person started to fear that Tanqiu.

However, at this moment he didn’t bother to mock him. Just now when they were facing off even he didn’t have confidence against such an enemy.

With the aura that the 400 common people mysterious dragon warriors showed off just now, it was normal for them to be fearful.

“Don’t worry! I will ask for instructions from the seniors, to gather men from Tailing Mountain and try to make up the number of purple cloud sword cavalry to a thousand.”

As he said that, Ji Lingzi frowned as he thought about Tanqiu’s sword technique from just now.

This person’s strength was at most grade 6 but that sword path was far above his. Alone, he wasn’t frightening, but when he borrowed the strength of those hundreds of mysterious dragon warriors, his strength could raise to the peak of grade 7.

His eyes constricted a little. Following which Ji Lingzi said determinedly, “Apart from this I will try to let the sect send 2 sets of Xuan iron wenshan armor…”

That Yuan Jiuchen shook. He knew that this xuan iron wenshan armor was a grade 8 spirit weapon. Not only was it tough for weapons to pierce through, but it could also raise the true qi cultivation of the person wearing it. It was the sect supporting treasure of the Tailing Sect and legend had it that there were no more than 40 of them.

Ji Lingzi scoffed coldly.

“We were too careless today, falling for their tricks. Next time, it won’t be this easy. When we exchange hostages a month later will be the day where we decide the outcome of the battle between us!”

After he finished he frowned and said, “Also on the side of the Han King, we need to ask for reinforcements. This prince has a dingxi iron cavalry that I will try to borrow.”

Yuan Jiuchen sternly replied he had such a plan too.

“An unparalleled formation charging talent…”

In the void, it was still Fangwen and Hanfang who exchanged glances with one another, standing opposite one another.

They could see the shock and astonishment in each other’s eyes.

“Master, the revered one didn’t mention that this great senior master Zong Shou had such talents…”

“Indeed he didn’t mention it!”

Hanfang nodded his head, his face filled with surprise and also a little delight.

“Based on what I know, in Donglin Cloud Continent, there was no one who witnessed this Gantian Mountain king personally lead the troops to charge at formations. He had the foundations left by Zong Weiran, a whole group of war generals. With unparalleled general seeds like Zong Yuan to help charge into enemies for him, there isn’t anyone who knows how skilled this monster king is on the battlefield…”

Whilst he spoke, Shi Ruolan was pointing at an illusionary glow at the side excitedly, her fingers drawing out really weird and special lines.

At this moment the people beside her didn’t bother about her, only treating it like a little kid who was playing on her own.

“This time, revered one Wei have found a talent. Once my heart knot is solved, I will be able to advance. After stepping into the celestial path, within 10 years I wouldn’t be able to enter the cloud world. If you can let this kid be the head of the common people palace, our common people path will be safe for another 20 years…”

Hanfang laughed awkwardly, how would he not know about that? Unfortunately…

“This kid’s heart isn’t here, there is no point in saying anything more. He isn’t experienced enough and no one will look up to him. If he wanted to take over then he shouldn’t have treated Luoshi, Xuanye and Xie An like that.”

His attitude on that matter showed that he wasn’t willing to interfere in the matters of common people’s path.

He remembered that junior brother Wei once mentioned that this kid entered the sect to focus on the sword path and cultivation.

Although he wasn’t annoyed at the sect teachings, he wouldn’t recognize it.

…A few months ago, he probably didn’t mind much, but at this moment, he felt like it was a waste.

Fangwen kept silent for a moment before laughing helplessly, not bringing the matter anymore.

“Since this kid isn’t willing then only Shui Lingbo can take over the palace. I always feel that this Fairy Shui is a little unreliable…”

The common people path revered one wasn’t in the cloud world, Hanfang also hid his identity. The head of the palace was the actual leader of the common people path in the cloud world.

However, 20 years ago, it wasn’t that he hadn’t had any interaction with that Shui Lingbo. At that she was just a little girl, her personality already gave him a huge headache. He heard that after which it became even more explosive and weird, as such he couldn’t be at ease about it.

Hanfang’s expression also became weird. Thinking to himself that rather than that, he was more willing to let Zong Shou take charge of the common people palace.

Even with him looking on from the side, Shui Lingbo’s personality was just like that. She did what she wanted and didn’t care about seniors. What a worrisome sight…

However, without enough reason and a better choice, there was no reason not to let her take over.

Luckily Fangwen sighed, shifting the topic, “Just now I saw great senior master use the sword. In just 3 days, he was able to grasp the sword intent to the peak of the sword sense level. His martial path foundations probably have reached the sword soul level. Fangwen is ashamed. Compared to him I lived for 50 years for nothing. I heard that great senior master had merged martial arts and the spirit? I hope that one day I can personally see it…”

At the front, it was still okay, but when he heard the few sentences at the back, Hanfang’s expression became more and more ugly.

Merging spirit and martial arts into one was not bad. However, with his current situation, he would probably need to delay by a few years.

Forget it, let’s just let that kid eat some hardship. It wouldn’t be too late to help him rebuild his foundations 2 years later. For a young man to face setbacks isn’t a bad thing.

Just as he said that a cold laugh spread out from afar.

“Your common people path dared to come over to attack Yuan Jiuchen. So it was because you had one more core disciples. However, he is just grade 6 and you dare to release him out. Aren’t you afraid of that kid dying outside?”

Hanfang was startled, following which he scoffed coldly.

“So it is Tailing Sect, fellow Taoist Qiuyun…”

He knew that Tailing Sect would have celestial path experts who rush over. However, he didn’t expect that it would be him. What a bother.

“I only know that today my disciple is safe and sound. On the other hand, your Tailing Sect has lost a Tailing, 400 purple cloud sword cavalry also fell today…”

Qiuyun kept silent for a moment. Surprisingly he didn’t get angry. A while later he laughed coldly, “Our Tailing Sect has to protect this Yuan Jiuchen. With the Han king helping how will your common people path fight with us? Even if you don’t give up then we will fight once more, let’s see who will win and who will lose in the end. If your disciples face any unforeseen situations over at that Yan City Pass, don’t blame our Tailing Sect for being merciless.”

After he said that, Qiuyun’s voice faded away.

Hanfang’s expression was really weird, “Should I tell him that junior brother Zong has a perfect plan that already confirmed the victory? Any more people they send will only be them sending them to their deaths?”

When Fangwen heard that, he laughed: “However once this ends, this mister Qiuyun probably won’t let the matter rest?”

Hanfang burst out into a laugh, filled with disdain, “What are you afraid of him for?”
