258 Chapter 258 Blood Alliance Acting Dizzy (1/2)
The Prince returned back to Gantian Mountain City with matters settled.
...
He couldn't ride horses anymore. In Zong Gang's words, it was degrading his identity.
So, the grade 4 Windrider foal that he snatched from Feng Yu was abandoned, replaced with a dragon carriage that was actually made with gold. There were even jewels on it, shining bright. Any ingredient that looked bright and expensive was something to be used. There was 4 18-grade dragon horned winged beasts that pulled on it. It was a majestic and rich scene.
This was the carriage that Zong Weiran used in the past, and it looked extremely trendy. Zong Shou couldn't take it, despising this Zong Weiran's taste. This was a bit too much of a waste of money.
However, when he looked at the Gantian Mountain children around, they all looked on with respect and fear. He thought, maybe Zong Weiran's taste wasn't that bad.
People of this era were mostly struggling, so how would they know about style? On the contrary, such a gorgeous carriage that was so ugly and extravagant could help calm down everyone.
Under the protection of hundreds of thousands of guards as soldiers, Zong Shou reached the Gantian Mountain peak. There was no sign of Zong Shi and the others. Even if they all looked about, they couldn't find any sign of those few people.
This was something that Hu Qianqiu and the others expected. The Gantian situation was settled. Even if Zong Shi tried something, he wouldn't be able to turn the table around. If he didn't go away, he would die. If it was anyone else, he would immediately flee.
Zong Shou had the same thoughts. However, his heart was still filled with wariness. Even if the Xue family interfered and used the illusionary mist heart charming technique, he might actually bring that illusionary heart mirror too.
He had heard of this grade 8 spiritual artifact for a long time.
If one wanted to hide, as long as one kept silent, then only an ascended ancestor martial cultivators or a day wandering spirit master would be able to notice it.
Even if his current spiritual power had reached the night wandering realm, he couldn't check the trace of that spiritual artifact.
Still, his sword didn't leave his body, he still wore heavy armor. However, when he walked into the Chongzhen Hall and sat on the Monster king throne, still no accidents happened.
What surprised Zong Shou was that there was a spiritual formation here. The dragon throne at the deepest part of the hall had a unique spiritual formation. If those people wanted to assassinate him, it would be much harder on this throne.
Did they really plan of giving up? Did that Zong Shi really know his place?
His eyes glanced around this hall but still, he didn't see anything suspicious. Zong Shou couldn't help but frown and took in a deep breath. Then, he relaxed slightly. He smiled as he looked at the many people in the hall get busy with their work, especially people like Zong Gang who were so busy that their legs didn't stick to the ground.
This era, before the spiritual flood, could still be considered a barbaric time, it wasn't that polite as the future.
The Donglin Cloud Continent was also regarded by many of this generation as a desolate land that didn't bother with culture and education.
However, an inheritance ceremony for the position of ruler of state couldn't be too simple. it couldn't just have a bunch of people worship the city lord and then end. It had a full set of rituals and was really grand and complicated. The more so, the nobler the position of Monster king was. It also represented the respect the people had for the Monster king.
The process was more complicated, but there was a reason for it.
The ceremony style was more special. First, it was to form blood contracts with the many Monster race tribes, and then, they had to make sacrifices and tributes to the heavens.
Originally, the culture also needed to kill live people as well as to choose sinners from the various races. The more killed, the bigger the scale in the eyes of the various Monster races and the more satisfied they would be.
However, after Zong Weiran established Gantian Mountain, he removed this ugly habit of the Monster race. Their worshipping ceremonies every year were all simple, killing some pigs and dogs, and the matter was over.
Zong Shou, naturally, had no intention of bringing back sacrificing life people as that was too barbaric and inhumane.
Then, he saw Hu Qianqiu order people to carry a huge pot and place it in the center of the hall. They carried jugs of wine and pour in, his face slightly changed.
As expected, everything was prepared well. Hu Qianqiu cut his hand and blood flowed right into the jug.

Hu Qianqiu's face was ashen white and his legs seemed to become soft and tremble. However, he was prideful, sweeping everyone with a provocative gaze. His eyes were gleeful as he walked stride back to his original position.
Zong Shou's head started to feel numb. However, why did just a blood oath be done into such a huge matter?
Luckily Hu Zhongyuan was not far away and he had someone he could ask. When Zong Shou looked over, Hu Zhongyuan gleefully said, ”The prince doesn't know! The Monster race's rule is that during the blood oath, the more blood we release, the more sincere we are and the more loyal we are. Of course, there are other meanings like having strong vital energy and a strong body. On this aspect, you can't show weakness. My father actually placed one jug of blood. It was amazing. He didn't spoil the name of my iron tiger race...”
