145 Chapter 145 Tiger Hu Qianqiu (2/2)

”It seems familiar, like someone I have seen before. Was it that Xuanwu Ancestor that was beside Zong Shou that day?”

Zong Ling's face was filled with questions. He took in a deep breath and ordered the horses forwards, ”Let's rush over to take a look!”

”No, Young Master! His vital energy is strong, and I'm unable to see any signs of injury, it is most likely not him. And we don't have any Xuanwu Ancestors with us...”

Feng Xiao anxiously persuaded him not to, but after seeing that Zong Ling didn't care at all, he helplessly ordered the horse to go forwards. The few Xiantian Masters around them also followed.

------

Four hours had passed since Zong Shou climbed out from the hole.

Although he wasn't injured just now, the Styx River Death Sword consumed too much stamina. Without the Lightning Phoenix Essence, he would have nearly not been able to recover.

The time was mainly spent on clearing out tracks and destroying signs of the corpses. When he obtained the Darkness Blooming Cereus, he didn't think about it. But after killing those people, he had to handle it.

That Dou Lingzhen wasn't a problem. Although he was a City Lord, but he killed him, then so be it. Only that Mingjue was a little problematic.

These true demon sect methods were what he wasn't clear about. There were often internal fights within sects and most of the time a whole bunch of them would die. Most of the time they died at the hands of people from their own Sect. The strong carried on while the weak were wiped out, heartless places.

But the moment a disciple was killed by an outsider or died from a public matter in the Sect, then they would go all out to take revenge.

Thinking back to the dozen Monster race slaves that had already died, Zong Shou sighed slightly. Who knows whether it was a blessing or not for him to act. He had released them from their torture, but it also directly caused their expedited death.

He had still obtained something good from that Mingjue.

The demonic artifacts and talismans on him would expose his identity if he used them. There was only one item he could use without worry.

When he jumped out to the surface, just as Zong Shou stabilized his feet, he looked up into the sky and saw that giant GAN symbol.

”Signal?”

Zong Shou's brows rose in shock. In the entire Donglin Cloud Continent, only Gantian Mountain used the Gan symbol.

In the next moment, he understood. Most probably it was the person he had invited. Considering the time, it was more or less about right.

He couldn't help but smile. The number of fire signals were fired successively without stopping; seems like he was impatient.

He couldn't remain at this place, as the deaths of Dou Lingzhen and Mingjue couldn't be hidden for long. In just a few hours it would affect the Fenghua City army. Once one side won, there would definitely be people who would enter that hole to take a look.

He didn't waste any more time, picking up Chuxue and dashing, activating the Lightning Travelling Spirit Bone to cross the mountains.

In just a short while, Zong Shou's face was filled with helplessness.

”Chuxue, how long do you still want to stare at me for. Haven't you seen enough?”

”Xue'er will never get enough of Young Master!” Chuxue actually nodded her head like she was in the right, following which she revealed a regretful and upset expression, ”Especially when your hair was white, you were so handsome! I shouldn't have listened to you and should have opened my eyes. Why don't you use it again and change your hair back for me to see? Young Master, I beg you..”.

When she said that, Zong Shou couldn't take it anymore and smacked her head, ”You dumb brat, do you think that sword technique can be randomly used? It seems like I have to punish you when you return, you are getting more and more unrestrained. I have changed my mind, make two hundred copies of that desolate talisman scripture for me before you eat!”

Chuxue immediately gave out a tragic cry, while Zong Shou was both amused and angry.

In his last life, whenever he used the Styx River Death Sword, be it male or female they feared him like a devil. Who knew Chuxue would like it so much?

Was it because of his looks? But he wasn't that ugly in his last life? He had rare male characteristics...

Just as his mind was filled with such random thoughts, his footsteps halted.

His eyes squinted as he looked forwards. The forest leaves waved along with the wind, one was unable to see anything wrong.

However that Rising Moon Lion had sent over a message that it wasn't so. Not only was there someone, he had nefarious intentions!

After a long while and seeing that nothing happened, Zong Shou got impatient, smiling and saying directly, ”Friend, do you really think that people cannot see you when you're hiding there?”
