247 Chapter 247 More Daring Than Others (1/2)

Everyone present, although faced with numerous bloody scenes, were calm. Their expressions were unusually calm, and even Shi Dan who was a woman was similarly silent.

As for on the city walls, those thousands of soldiers and archers were all ashen white. They were tempted to pick up their weapons but when they saw the steel-like beasts under the city wall as well as Hu Zhongyuan and the others staring aggressively, they were filled with despair.

Without needing others to act, just a few people on the city wall was enough to kill all of them. Even the other soldiers within the pass looked over with animosity in their eyes.

Zong Shou was in deep thought. After a short moment, he shook his head, ”They are all my people. There is a reason this happened, so I can't bear to kill them. However, the responsibility lies in who leads them and staging a coup cannot be pardoned! Anyone above colonel rank will get their head chopped! As for the rest, they will be interrogated. Those who are without sin will be dealt with after the matter today is over! A life of labor cannot be prevented. Send them to the sinner camp, if they don't die in 10 years consider them lucky.”

Hearing those words, the entire city heaved a sigh of relief. Apart from You Wusheng's forces who were in despair. The other people all relaxed.

Those on the city wall were able to, fortunately, avoid death and temporarily keep their lives. Those below the city wall were happy Zong Shou actually didn't target those who shot at him, so they thought that he wouldn't punish them heavily either.

As the name suggests, the sinner camp was an army made of sinners. In the camp, not only did they do the most tiring matters, but during wartime, they will charge at the front of the entire army, often being used as cannon fodder. However, this trip to the sinner camp still left them with some hope.

Tan Tao frowned slightly when he heard that, disagreeing, lowering his volume, ”Prince if this was normal days such method of handling might not be inappropriate. But if the matters of your dual cultivation are spreader, not only might the Xue family have ideas, but even the ruler's enemies will, you will have to be wary...”

As he said that, the expression of the people around all changed.

Zong Shou shook his head with disregard, excitedly looking towards the direction of Gantian Mountain City.

It was best if he could hide his cultivation, but if he couldn't then it would be that much of a matter either.

Towards other people, he could naturally cover their mouths by killing them without much worry. But on the city wall were many of Zong Weiran's old forces and had all put in work for Gantian Mountain.

He wasn't willing to abuse his power just to hide his own matter, and he looked at it in disdain.

If it spreads, whatever waves it cause, he could just let it hit him. He didn't believe that the sword in his hand would be unable to stop the waves.

Furthermore, their Monster race people wasn't much to begin with. The entire Gantian Mountain has just 7-8 million people, around with the Monster race people of the affiliate cities, there were 20 million tops. Moreover, he had a bunch of people he had to kill and wash out in Gantian Mountain City.

It was best if he could keep as much of the Monster race elite fighting strength as he could. Rather than kill his own men, why not let them die on the battlefield.

And if he didn't have enough fighting strength, Gantian Mountain City wouldn't be able to survive the true chaotic era 10 years later.

Tan Tao was smart but restricted by the era, and his foresight was a little weaker.

Seeing Zong Shou not agree, Tan Tao was helpless. Sweeping around and seeing that Zong Yuan and the others all not react, evidently following Zong Shou's orders. As for Zong Gang, the way he looked at Zong Shou was like stars shining. He most probably was treating him like Zong Weiran so obviously he wouldn't persuade him.

He could only sigh helplessly, bowing once more, ”The prince is morally upright and kind!”

His tone was totally sincere, the prince had dealt with this matter with a big hard and magnanimity, not caring about the big picture.

When Zong Shou heard that, he mocked himself. Morally upright? Kind? Only people from the future would know how cold he was.

When the spiritual wave rose up, numerous beasts evolved. Within a few years, there were hundreds of mind stone mines found which was why tens of large cities rose up.

The entire Cloud Continent was in constant war due to fighting for beast crystals and new mind stone mines.

The moment these 3 thousand people entered the sinner camp, they would have no chance of living. No mentioning 10 years, they might not even survive 5.

His eyelids suddenly jumped as he turned to his side and asked curiously”Did you hear that? Just now I think I heard a bell sound.”

This Zhenshan Pass was actually only 50-60 miles away from Gantian Mountain City, and that bell noise should have come from there.

Zong Gang listened calmly, a short moment later a bright glow appeared in his eyes, ”It really is a bell noise, it should be the meeting bell in front of Chouzheng hall.

Zong Shou delighted, thinking that it was most probably Zong Shi Zong Yang was gathering the race leaders and generals for a meeting. It was mostly to settle the position of Monster king.

In other words, on the side of Gantian Mountain it should still be under Hu Qianqiu and Qiu Wei's control. He really made it back in time.

If they really chose to go around, then the outcome would be uncertain.

”9 successive bells, those people are really anxious! Why not be go join in the fun?”
