227 Chapter 282 Junior Brother Zong Shou (1/2)
Looking on, as Ren Bo left the hall, Zong Shou entered deep thought and talked about Ren Bo's warning before he left.
The cloud ocean hunting concerned the income of Gantian Mountain City as well as the number of experts that they are able to attract. For example, Yunxia Mountain, Blazing Flame Mountain, and Taoyun City wouldn't give up on this chance to suppress Gantian Mountain City.
Moreover, there was Tiegang Hall. Unless Zong Shou came up with it from his own pockets, the country treasury didn't have money to do so.
They looked in front, stunned at another huge stack of beast leather. His gaze was unfocused.
He didn't want to deal with it, but he knew that there were many documents within that he had to settle as early as possible.
It was really tiring being this monster king. He was really looking forward to dealing with all the matters in the next few months and relieving himself of the responsibility.
The curtain behind shook a little as Xuan Yunlan walked out from inside. Then she bowed towards Zong Shou in gratitude, ”Thank you, ruler. I, Yunlan, cannot thank you enough. I will definitely keep our 3-month agreement!”
Zong Shou waved his hand listlessly as he opened one of the documents in front of him.
Just as he was about to make notes on it, there was a clean and crisp laugh that attracted the soul spreading into the room. ”So late at night and still not forgetting about administrative work. You're actually so hard working. I don't know why you want to go to the cloud ocean to hunt a month later? You don't know that enemies outside of Gantian Mountain are eyeing you.”
Zong Shou's heart jolted, thinking to himself that they finally came. Xuan Yunlan also couldn't leave it time, her eyes opened wide as she looked outside of the window at a loss.
In the next moment, a male stepped into the room from the main door. The guards at the sides were like statues, unable to react at all.
Chuxue and Ruoshui who were standing behind Zong Shou first panicked. It wasn't until they saw Zhao Yanran behind that person did they calm down.
Xuan Yunlan didn't know what was happening. She recognized this woman who was from seven spirit sect, the same school as her. But what was the identity of this guy?
”I have no choice, Gantian Mountain finances are withering up. The arrow is on the bow and has to be fired. Because of that reason I had to draw him out.”
Zong Shou thought about it for a moment and placed the brush in his hand down. He stood in front of the table and did a Junior now, using words to replace his speech, ”How should junior greet you?”
He didn't dare to show any disrespect. To make the Gantian mountain city dragon energy hide, one should not only be at the celestial realm. It was a realm he didn't reach in his last life.
The man in scholarly attire sat in a chair at the side without any courtesy at all, waving his sleeves, carrying up Zong Shou's body, ”You are the ruler of a country, there's no need to be too polite. As for myself, I'm the ruler of the common people path. As for what you should call me, this is a little difficult for me...”
Zong Shou's eyes instantly constricted, finally revealing a look of surprise.
He thought that the person who would come would either be the Wujue Villa head Yan Fan or that Taiyuan Sect leader, or it would be the elders of these 2 sects.
He really didn't expect the person to actually be the revered one from the common people path.
He had heard that this person before the god-emperor era was a Saint realm expert.
Martial cultivators and spiritual masters that stepped through the gates of the celestial realm would be the spiritual realm, celestial realm, god realm, saint realm, end realm, and true realm. These were the 6 big realms.
For the end realm and true realm, legend had it that there were just 3-5 people. The true peak of cultivation was rarely seen.
Be it ten thousand years ago in the cloud desolate era or in the various worlds, a saint level expert was pretty much invincible.
But based on what he knew, those people should have left this world and started to roam the endless void.
If experts like this came to the cloud world before the spiritual wave rose up, they would be suppressed instead.
Their skill would at least drop by 99%. If there were enough grade 9 experts, they could even claim their lives!
This was why it didn't matter if one was a martial cultivator or spiritual cultivator. Once they entered the celestial path, they would try their best to escape from this world.
Who knows whether or not this person took the risk to return because of his matter? Should he feel proud because of himself?
That teen hesitated for a moment before he made his mind, ”I am Wei Xu. In the future, you can call me senior Brother Wei!”
