302 Chapter 302 The Fleet Sets Off (2/2)

The grains, weapons, armor and daily items were all prepared and loaded on.

After Ren Bo prepared everything, the cloud ships from the other subordinate cities all rushed over.

There were 5 provinces for a total of 367 cities. There were still many who kept their strength and didn't come. There were a few who were loyal and went all out to help. Some city lords even came over personally.

Zong Shou didn't have much time for himself. Pretty much Everyday he had to meet a few city lords and messengers.

Those cities that rushed over could be considered loyal counterparts of Gantian City. No matter how impatient Zong Shou felt, he needed to treat them politely and ensure that they were settled down.

Although he wasn't reliable when he did day to day matters, he knew the importance at such a time. His words and actions were arrogant and were like an experienced leader.

Ren Bo, who was originally a little worried, was impressed.

On the 10th day that he reached Rainbow City, this gigantic cloud ship fleet finally set off.

470 warships along with 400 merchant ships all left the port one by one and floated on the cloud ocean. From front to back they stretched ten thousand feet. Looking out they gave off a majestic aura.

However, Zong Shou didn't bring a single one of the top Xuanwu ancestors from Gantian City.

Beside him only followed Zong Yuan, Li Luo, and Ruoshui. At most he could add in Tan Tao whose combat strength was above average. Along with Gu Liekong, there were a total of 10 Xuanwu ancestors.

Their spirit master side wasn't weak. Old priest Zong Ling, Ling Fakong, and also adding in Shi Dan who chose to remain in Gantian Mountain City like Li Luo.

The 3 of them had their unique spells and their strengths were far above people of the same grade. Apart from these 3, there was 6 more Return to sun spirit masters. Only Return to Sun realm, they had 9 people.

Beneath the cloud ocean, there were many raw materials suitable for refining pills and crafting weapons. These spirit masters would never miss out no matter what.

However, these spirit masters were mostly from the sky fox and eye wolf race. The reason why the 2 races were able to maintain their strength in the Monster race ten thousand years after the cloud desolate era was because pretty much everyone was a dual cultivator. The Eye wolf race also had a high probability of being a spirit master. Their bodily ability was only below the sky fox illusionary art.

This was the reason he brought Ling Fakong over. After that Gantian coup that night, The Eye wolf race more or less hated him. At the crucial time, only this old race leader could control the spirit masters of the race.

On the day they set off, Hu Qianqiu, Chai Yuan, Zong Gang, Qiu Wei, and the others all came to send them off. However, their faces were filled with unwillingness, seemingly feeling depressed that Zong Shou was abandoning them.

Even the people on the ships were feeling uneasy.

Hu Zhongyuan was a little worried, ”Ruler isn't this a little risky? Usually when we went hunting, even if the ex ruler didn't lead, my Father and Uncle Chai, Uncle Gang would have at least 3-4 people of that generation in charge.

At this moment this ship was all newbies. They don't have the experience, and it doesn't seem suitable...”

”The Ruler has no choice.”

Without Zong Shou replying, Tan Tao who was the smart one bitterly smiled, ”Taoyun City has suppressed us with a large number of troops. Although Yunxia and Blazing Flame mountain suffered huge losses at Ruohai Straits, it didn't harm them deeply. They only lose a few ten thousands of people, on the east and south their strength is still threatening. I dare to gamble that if something happens on this trip, these 3 cities would Attack with their armies. Because the overlord duke etc is the pillars of Gantian, they need to say and stabilize the land...”

Hu Zhongyuan's brows furrowed but he didn't speak. He knew that the situation in Gantian Mountain was extremely dangerous.

But hunting of beasts was extremely important. Just by obtaining enough beast crystals, all their problems and doubts be solved. If they failed, no matter how they tried to suppress it, it would be hard to stop the entire Gantian mountain from collapsing and splitting.

However, Gantian Mountain did indeed need an army to defend.

Li Luo and Zong Yuan agreed with what Hu Zhongyuan said. Only the latter had just joined Gantian Mountain and his power was too low. The latter just purely wasn't willing to doubt Zong Shou's decision.

Zong Shou was looking at a letter left by Yin Yang. Saying that his sect has a matter and he needs to make a trip to take back some things that belong to him.

What made him shocked was that he didn't know what happen to Yin Yang's Sect such that he was in such a hurry.

Out of the people who followed him, apart from Zong Yuan, Chuxue and Ruoshui, he had high hopes for Uncle Yin.

The moment he strikes, he would shock the world. In just 3-5 years, Yin Yang could rely on his firm foundations to improve rapidly and enter the ascended realm.

He was not going to give up on such a talent no matter what.

His brows furrowed in deep thought. A moment later he clenched his fist, crushing the letter, ”Let's go. In terms of experience in the cloud ocean, one admiral Gu is enough.”

Gu Liekong's brows raised and after bowing he took his leave.

A moment later, the giant fleet started to open their sails and travel. Using the wind they soared above the cloud ocean.

They were extremely quick. In one short day, they had passed 2 thousand miles. From far one could see a gigantic cloud island appear within their sights.
