Chapter 961: No Sincerity

“Is Brother Feng willing to be my envoy to make a trip on my behalf to see Hong Jiuchen and Mufang? We can’t let this matter end like this. They need to give us an explanation.”

Feng Taiji didn’t understand and looked closely at Zong Shou.

He couldn’t see anything from his expression. However, there was actually no need to hesitate and think about anything.

“Why not? But what is Ruler’s bottom line?”

Since he agreed to be the envoy, then he had to know Zong Shou’s rough proposition.

“You can restrict them to back out of Yuanlian World in 10 days! This time, anyone who killed someone from Great Gan will need to pay compensation with their own lives. And I also want Hong Jiuchen and Tanjing’s head.”

Feng Taiji didn’t feel much when he heard this. The conditions sounded a bit excessive, the latter two were slightly harder, but it made sense, otherwise, it would be tough to make the satisfy the masses.

However, to succeed in the negotiation, they would have to give up something.

In the next moment, Zong Shou said, “Apart from that, these 4 will each give us 4 small-sized worlds. This is my bottom line, we can’t take a step back at all…”

Not only was Feng Taiji shocked, the people gathered here were all caught off guard and they didn’t understand.

4 small worlds weren’t much to someone like the Lu Family with 800 medium-sized worlds.

However, it was like cutting their flesh for sides like Xuanling Guild and Jijue Saint Dynasty.

Not to mention, Tianfang Guild who had always been struggling.

It was pretty much impossible for these few powers to agree to that.

One could see that a few of them didn’t have any intentions of peace talks with Great Gan.

Feng Taiji was really helpless and said, “If Ruler wants to offer something like that, then why don’t we just directly start a war!”

Zong Shou smiled, “We need to be polite before starting a war. These people have planned so extensively to take my life, so taking some small worlds from them isn’t much. Just say that fury has invaded my heart and I am unwilling to compromise with them.”

Feng Taiji opened his mouth and wanted to say something else but then he understood. He bowed, “Taiji roughly understands what Ruler means!”

Hong Jiuchen and the others plotted against his life. So, no matter what Great Gan did, it was still appropriate.

What he needed to do was to tell the other side about this layer of meaning.

It was best if everyone knew about this.

He also found it weird. Zong Shou’s actions were more provocative and evoked more anger than anything else. It would only make the 4 sides reject and even join hands.

Why was Zong Shou confident to not even fear these powers who had Saint Realm Experts?

Looking at Zong Shou, he seemed to want them to reject right away, so that he could officially attack?

To him, obtaining the entire Yuanlian World was already pretty good.

With just the 6-7 Celestial Realm Experts from the 4 sides of the Cloud World as well as Zong Shou and Ruoshui, it was definitely impossible to force the 4 sides to give in.

On the battlefield, even if they had talents like Shi Ruolan and Zhuang Yu, they might not be able to definitely win.

Although he had many unanswered questions in his heart, he knew that Zong Shou was definitely not a crazy person.

It was either he had enough confidence or he had his reason for doing so.

“I won’t let Ruler down!”

“Thank you Brother Feng! I have no sincerity this time, so just keep yourself alive when you go over…”

Zong Shou was directly saying that they were prepared to show respect before starting a war and that they were capable of doing either.

It was also to give them some time to prepare to gather their men so that when the real war started they would be able to capture some larger fish.

Only by heavily damaging the 4 factions and occupying a dozen more small-sized worlds could they keep themselves safe.

He also needed some time to prepare on his side.

Although he had a set of complete Imperial Big Dipper Demon Slaying Sword Formations, he needed to give those Source Ocean Demon Slaying Warriors some time to familiarize themselves.

Apart from Mind Stones, he also obtained many precious materials on this trip which he could use to craft weapons and armor.

At this moment, his Martial Path and Spiritual Technique accumulations were enough for him to perfect the Black Fox Iron Cavalry.

He was confident that in terms of cultivation methods, they were no weaker than the Blood Cloud cavalry. The only difference would be the armor and weapons that the cavalry used.

Cavalry Armor was the armor of the mounts while the equipment was the armor of the Cavalryman.

Although his Black Fox Cavalry were Grade-6 Dao Soldiers, compared to the Blood Cloud Cavalry they were lacking in this department.

He looked into the distance at the Spaceships in the void that were engaged in an intense battle.

Since he killed those 5 Formless God Demons, these Spaceships looked like they were about to collapse.

Under Shi Ruolan’s command, dozens of ships were already destroyed. The formations were separating and they were in a tough situation.

There were a few more ships hanging in the air. The Great Gan Spaceships leaned over and were fighting and killing.

The others were unable to escape. Although Zong Shou didn’t attack, his Spiritual Sense and Sword Intent locked onto the World River space, pressing down and striking the hearts of those cultivators, indirectly joining the battle.

Looking at the situation, he knew that they didn’t need the help of the Celestial Realm Cultivators. The combined army of those few sides had no chance of winning at all.

Looking at Shi Ruolan’s arrangements, she seemed like she wanted to take down all the Spaceships.

Zong Shou laughed coldly, raising his head and pulling over the person who was laughing arrogantly just now.

He was often a petty person and never forgot about people who insulted him. He didn’t forget how this person scolded him and mocked him so badly.

He didn’t ask anything, directly using Soul Scouring to search his memories.

“So you come from the Seven Saint Alliance…”

Zong Shou instantly understood, it was no wonder this person saw him as an enemy.

After all, he did kill Jiujing and his subjects. One of them was a blood relative of this person.

However, this time these people acted on their own and had nothing to do with Seven Saint Alliance.

Zong Shou didn’t care. Even if Seven Saint Alliance really joined in, at most there would be one more group of people. He would still be able to handle it.

It was something else that made his brow raise up. He kept silent for a moment before he looked to the northeast of Yuanlian World.

“Shura Race?”

He thought about it seriously for a moment before he stepped in that direction.

It seemed like he had to meet up with Brother Chahou Hu.

　　※※※※

Pretty much at the same time, in the void several worlds away.

A green leaf that was folded like a scroll floated over. It surged over along with the flow of the Spiritual River.

Not only was it moving really quickly but it was also tough to notice. The beasts around didn’t sense the leaf at all. It was like this item didn’t exist at all.

It was getting closer and closer to Yuanlian World.

The leaf finally opened and totally spread out.

Three people appeared, two males and one female. They all wore green Taoist robes and they also looked really young.

The one at the front was a woman, her face was ashen white as she looked expressionlessly at the world, remaining totally silent.

“That was the Blood Sword Monster Lord that killed tens of thousands of Taoist Faction disciples? How extraordinary, a rare sight even in thousands of years.”

The person who spoke stood beside her. He was close to 30 and he had a mole on his brow. He held a horsetail whisk making him seem ethereal and like someone who transcended mortal matters.

He sighed, who knows if he was praising or if he had another meaning?

“Senior Master Chengxing! I know you love talents but this person is the enemy of our Taoist Faction. Qingming personally saw him kill a few of my good friends, he really is a demon…”

The teen smiled bitterly and then shook her head, “He left the Cloud World for so many years and his cultivation actually didn’t slow down, instead, it increased even quicker. He is becoming more and more indiscernible.”

When she said this, she asked curiously, “With Senior Master’s ability, can you take down Zong Shou now?”

“If it was anywhere else, I would be really confident!”

Chengxing’s words were really arrogant but at the same time his tone didn’t hold much confidence. He continued, “However, don’t forget that this is Yuanlian World. The so-called Great Gan owns close to half of it.”

What he meant was that if it was a fair fight, he would have a high chance of winning, but this place was near Yuanlian World.

Zong Shou was the owner here and using the strength of the country even if his cultivation was weaker, it would be enough to fight him and he could even suppress him.

“This person’s physical body has already reached the unbreakable stage, similar to God Realm cultivators. He has grasped Sword Intent Spirit Realm and has high attainments in it. His Instant Space Technique is also flawless. We don’t know what other methods he has. However, with just this alone, he is able to fight against God Realm Cultivators. For an Initial Celestial Realm to go up against God Realm Experts, he is truly the top person from the Cloud World. That Formless God Demon really deserved to die! I really underestimated him this time!”

Qingming was shocked. She especially reminded that Shadow Demon head to increase helpers and send 5 God Realms over, but in the end the outcome made her feel dejected.

“In other words, we can’t do anything to him, so it is best not to attack him?”

“That is the best-case scenario!”

Chengxing nodded his head, a satisfied expression appeared in his eyes. This girl could be taught.

“We have already alerted him this time and he would be wary. It would be extremely hard for us to trap him. Moreover, if the Cloud World situation is settled and Common People’s Path is wiped out, no one will be able to help Dragon Shadow. It would be so easy to take this kid’s life. It is best for us to take the safer option now…”

The moment he said this, he was interrupted by the person at the side.

“We still have a chance! Zong Shou is always vicious and this time with the 4 sides plotting against him causing him huge losses, he won’t take this standing still! Hong Jiuchen and the others aren’t people to give up their legacies. Once both sides clash, that will be our chance!”

When Chengxing heard this, he instantly frowned, glancing over with a troubled expression.

This person was Xiao Xiangzi, one of the outstanding members of the Taoist Faction junior generation.

However, this person’s status wasn’t high enough to speak in front of him, to go against his words.

If not for him giving face to the dead Wu Xu, he would have created many problems for this young man.
