148 Chapter 148 Bring me my Saber! (1/2)

Chuxue was in charge of carrying the tied-up Zong Yuan as they continued to run towards where the fire signal had come from. This time there wasn't any more interference during the fifteen minutes they needed to rush there.

Before he got close, Zong Shou's brow furrowed. The corner of his lips rose slightly. -It seems like the people from Gantian Mountain are all here…-

Not only that person that he invited, even Zong Ling came over unannounced, as did this Zong Yuan who was now in his hands.

He could feel Hu Qianqiu's intent sensing him from afar. He couldn't help but burst out laughing. He stopped using the Lightning Traveling Spirit Bone, relying on his own strength to walk over.

The other people had noticed by now, all of them looking over. Joy flashed on the faces of Lian Fan and Yin Yang. As for Hu Yuanzhong and Zong Ling, their faces were filled with disdain and contempt. The latter even mocked, ”To actually dare to run around at such a time! Zong Shou, you really are the Ruler's son; how bold, really unafraid to die at the hands of Yunxia Mountain or Blazing Flame Mountain...”

As he said that, he suddenly paused as he looked at Zong Yuan, who was wrapped up like a dumpling and being carried in one hand by Chuxue.

In shock for a moment, he burst out laughing. ”Zong Yuan I didn't think that your Purple Lightning Spear would have such a day? Weren't you arrogant before, how did you end up in such a state? How did you get captured by my cousin; did you anger him and incite that person to attack? You knew that that person was near him, aren't you a little too stupid?”

Zong Yuan's face turned green, muttering, too lazy to reply him. He looked towards Zong Ling with the gaze one uses when looking at a retard. He wanted to tell him to run away and spread the news. However, he wasn't willing to speak after that, thinking that soon Zong Ling would be the one crying.

Zong Shou's brow furrowed at this; It was not the first time he had noticed the presence of that Xuanwu Ancestor.

He was filled with doubts about why this person wasn't willing to reveal himself. Why did he come so late in his battle against Li Yaling? And why did he leave halfway?

Why didn't even Yin Yang know about this Xuanwu Emperor?

Hearing the two of them speak, he seemed to find out a little bit about that person. Once this matter ended, he should interrogate this Zong Yuan and Zong Ling...

Especially the latter! He only let him go because he was worried about Cloud Saint City. Now he didn't have a reason to allow him to slip away. This fellow was like a leech, something he was unable to get away from.

There was also Chuxue, who for some reason upon seeing this Hu Qianqiu felt fidgety and hid behind Zong Shou. Occasionally she would sneakily glance at the father and son, her gaze filled with hesitation, making him really curious. However, he had no intention of asking her about this.

Random thoughts entered his mind for a while before he regained his composure. Looking at the sixty-odd year old man, he didn't need to think and knew that this was definitely Zong Weiran's right hand man, the second strongest person in Gantian Mountain, Hu Qianqiu!

Be it the aura he gave out or what he remembered, it was the same.

In that instant, a strong intent suppressed him. He was unfazed, calming looking towards Hu Qianqiu, slightly bowing, ”Hello, Uncle Hu! To make you rush over so many miles in a dozen days, it must be tiring for you, I'm grateful!”

”Not seeing you in three years, your manners are still there! In terms of being tiring, I can't compare with Yin Yang.”

Seeing that Zong Shou wasn't threatened by his aura, Hu Qianqiu was a little surprised. But when he observed him up and down, his face dimmed. He was the same; no internal energy, no soul power.

That was true anyways, how could a Dual Meridian Body cultivate? Even if one changed to practice spiritual techniques, it was also really difficult. He shouldn't have held any hopes...

Suppressing the disappointment in his heart, he stood up and bowed solemnly, ”Hu Qianqiu greets the Prince! Why did the Prince want to meet me?”

Hu Zhongyuan couldn't help but frown. He wasn't used to seeing his father being so respectful, especially when Zong Ling was right there.

What ability did the Prince have, for his father to be so respectful? However, Hu Qianqiu stared at him, making him stand up unwillingly and bow too. His expression was really cold, his eyes like sharp knives.

That gaze was like a knife, stabbing over while also showing a warning expression. Zong Shou smiled, not bothering about it.

”I invited Uncle Hu over for two things. First thing is that I want that throne. My father's work cannot fall into the hands of others. Uncle Hu, please help me!”

Hu Qianqiu's tiger body instantly shook in shock. Hu Zhongyuan felt like his chest was about to explode, filled with anger, not bothering about his father he laughed coldly, ”You actually dare to say that? You don't know your position! You are just a piece of trash, even a half-Monster. Even if I give the throne to you, how can you keep it? Although Gantian Mountain was built by the Ruler, this concerns the life and death of the hundred races! Do you really want us to be destroyed by Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountain?”

Zong Ling couldn't help but laugh, spitting out a bone from his mouth, ”If you want that Monster throne, then take it. No one will fight with you for it! Be it my brother or that Zong Yang or Zong Shiyuan, we don't intent to fight with you for it. Cousin, you are unable to cultivate; it is not your fault, but I didn't expect you to actually be so dumb...”
