185 Chapter 185 Give an explanation (2/2)
Seeing the situation, Zhu Junhou's face turned white and green, staring viciously at Luo Xian before bowing once more, ”Prince please stop! City lord Xuanyuan has orders to meet you in Tiegang Hall!”
Zong Shou stayed within the carriage, giving off no aura and sound. That Zhu Junhou frowned once more before sighing. His expression seemed more respectful, ”What happened today, my Xuan Mountain City will give the prince an explanation!”
That Luo Xian was even more furious, just as he was about to speak, he felt those cold eyes of Zhu Junhou landing over on him. His heartfelt cold and he couldn't say out any other word...
...
The so-called Tiegang Hall wasn't within Xuan Mountain City but on the Xuan mountain behind the city.
The so-called Xuan Mountain was 24 thousand feet high, directly stabbing into the clouds. Apart from the side facing the mountains. The other sides were like giant stones comparable to steel, the cliffs were like a thousand knives. The mountain was majestic, becoming a natural city wall for the city. With ten thousand people defending it, it was impenetrable.
Even the side facing the city was arduous and dangerous. Luckily there was twisting and turning mountain path that connected to the peak. The carriage could travel on all land types and could barely travel in this area.
Chuxue didn't need to drive anymore and was taken over by Zong Yuan. She was beside Zong Shou, blinking curiously, ”Young master, we caused so many problems and nothing happened. Just now, I was so afraid and thought that uncle would die...”
Zong Shou smiled and didn't reply. How could he flip on them? Everyone thought that he had something to ask from Xuan Mountain City.
However, there were a few that saw that when Gantian Mountain's power went from 9 provinces to 5, this Xuan Mountain City was negligible to them.
Zong Weiran had the ambition to swallow the world which was why he made Xuan Mountain City the east barrier, such that he could attack the west without any worry.
Now that he had already died, Gantian Mountain protecting themselves was a problem. This Xuan Mountain City became a problem and wasted their strength.
Moreover, Zong Shou was a person without much ambition. If not for Xuanyuan Yiren he would be lazy to care about the life and death of this city. Even if they hugged the legs of Pill Fountain Sect or Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect, they might not be able to protect it. If it was Lingyun Sect then it would barely be possible.
Everyone thought that the two sects were strong. They had 10 ascended ancestors. However, that Xuan Mountain City lord knew the specifics.
Seeing that he didn't reply, Chuxue was more and more curious, tugging at his sleeves. Her eyes were watery like she was begging him.
Zong Shou glared at her before pouting in disdain, ”Even if I say, can you understand? Think about their position and how much man and troops we have in this Tianlan Province. Around here our Gantian Mountain might be able to get some benefits...”
Chuxue was instantly furious. He was just underestimating her intelligence! Even if the one who said that was her young master, she couldn't take it!
Resisting the urge to smack him in the head, she pouted as she sat down and was ready to think about it. She had to understand and get this whole matter such that this fellow wouldn't underestimate her! However, after a short moment, her eyes became more and more blur.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.
Position? Troops? Benefits? What? Why is it getting more and more complicated?
On the other hand, Ruo Shui lying on the mattress had some idea.
Zong Shou didn't bother about Chuxue. Who knew if they were worried about them causing trouble again, around them were a black wave of soldiers. Among the many xiantian which protected the carriage, there were 4 martial ancestors. They were alert whilst furious, looking over occasionally.
Zong Shou didn't care, waving at Zhu Junhou causally. The latter was startled. After hesitating, he brought his horse to the side, after bowing he asked warily, ”What matters does the prince have?”
Zong Shou looked at this person deeply, until his heart started to beat faster did he smile calmly, ”Why isn't uncle staying in the city but on the mountain? What kind of place is this Tiegang Hall?”
Zhu Junhou's heart calmed down, hesitating slightly before saying, ”I can tell prince this! The city lord hasn't bothered about City matters in recent years, focusing on his martial path. 3 years ago as he reached a bottleneck and was unable to advance. He let the people build a giant stone hall on the mountain. It was made purely of Tiegang stone and also invited several Back to Sun realm spirit masters to forge a spiral formation. Astral energy lingered such that once any cultivator enters they are unable to use why true qi and spiritual power. He wanted to reduce his cultivation to start from the bottom to confirm and prove his martial path and correct the weaknesses. This is common amongst martial cultivators. Seems like the prince is knowledgeable and should have heard of it. Because of this Hall, I have recently improved a lot too!”
