309 Chapter 309 Corpse Harbouring Pinnacle sSword (1/2)

Jing Tao Zhenren frowned and looked back at his memory. It was as what Zong Shou had said.

90% and above of the grade 6 beast corpses hadn't reached their death date but instead died to the mental impact that martial intent had on them.

A light flashed across his head as his heart couldn't help but jump.

Even Zhao Yanran and the others were filled with thoughts.

”Are you thinking that there is some treasure that could help them evolve which made the grade 6 beasts go all out? Legend had it that the beasts beneath the cloud ocean have sharp senses, I am not sure if it is true or false. And also the martial path intent from within should be at least left by an expert who stepped into the celestial path. The legend was that during the cloud desolate era, the land was extremely huge. But after the calamity at the end of the cloud desolate era, at least 70% of the land sunk into the cloud ocean. Who knows, this might be the home of that senior that was left behind.”

Zong Shou said while laughing in a self-mocking manner, ”I am just randomly guessing, Zhenren, you don't have to take me seriously. The death energy is spreading about here. Since we have completed our work, I think it is best if we leave sooner…”

Just as he was about to turn around, he heard Jing Tao say seriously, ”Your highness please wait up, I do feel that your guess has an 80% probability of being true! I think there are at least 200 more grade 7 beasts within the valley.”

The corner of Zong Shou's lips curled up, he smiled awkwardly, ”I think so too, but so what? With our ability, if we enter, it would be a little risky. To get the items within we will mess up the martial path intent within. If that's the case, it would rile up the Monster wave. At that time, our fleet will suffer heavy losses. One must know when to be satisfied, with this 10 million grade 4 beast crystals I am already satisfied. I'm not willing to take the risk with my subordinate's lives...”

The surrounding people were all tempted and pumped up by what Jing Tao said. Even the older and calmer Zong Ling, Zhu Junho and Ling Fakong's breathing couldn't help but speed up. But when they heard his words, it was like pouring a bucket of cold water over their heads. It made them come to their senses.

When they thought about it, they were totally ashamed. As Zong Shou said, one couldn't be too greedy. If they lost their lives because of that treasure that was in their imagination, it would be a total pity.

Then, everyone nearby who heard it was touched. Their ruler was truly a magnanimous and smart person. If it was other prideful and ambitious people, even if they knew it was dangerous, they would take the risk. They definitely wouldn't care about the lives of their men.

Jing Tao Zhenren helps his breath, frowning as he was deep in thought. Following which he took out an item, ”Does your highness know about this time? With this, we just need 300-night wandering spirit masters, and I believe we can stop the beasts for at least an hour!”

Before Zong Shou spoke, that Ling Fakong was shocked, ”Is that the Lingyun Sect cloud shocking illusionary token? Legend has it that before the 4th generation ancestor of the sect left the cloud world, he refined such a grade 9 spiritual artifact. He perfectly merged the cloud shocking god destroying intent within...”

Jing Tao Zhenren didn't speak, just smiling proudly. Zong Shou looked at the sword-shaped token in his hand and was also shocked.

He knew that Jing Tao brought a protective time over to protect these 40 inner sect disciples. However, he didn't expect this fellow to bring such a treasure. What a total surprise. He could even save those 4 thousand ice lightning arrows.

His heart was willing but his face showed some hesitation, ”With this treasure, we do have some confidence. However, for safety sake why not you hand it over to me? As for the times within our, Gantian wants at least 80%! If we make it out, we still have to depend on those 800 energy destroying crossbows...”

That Jing Tao was not good at bargaining, brows furrowing as he thought for a moment before he handed the sword-shaped token to Zong Shou. He said, ”Okay! But if there is an advancement item, our Lingyun Sect has priority to choose.”

...he didn't care about what they got within. Only that treasure that could help beasts evolve, which would most probably be helpful for human cultivators.

Zong Shou was also startled. He had made a bold offer of 80%. He was giving space for him to bargain. Who knew Jing Tao was so 'decisive'.

Following which he felt the 18 cloud shocking god destroying sword intent seeds in his body fidgeting around crazily. Zong Shou's heart trembled slightly, silently keeping the token into his sleeves.

With the deal set, Zong Shou didn't waste any more time. 15 minutes later, the thousand ships lined up, one above another as they continued towards the canyon.

The entry was narrow but space within was extremely spacious. They traveled another 20 miles before their field of sights expanded once more. Hundred thousand feet of canyon land appeared in front of their eyes.

Everyone was slightly astonished. This place didn't look natural like it was slashed by someone with a sword! All around this place there were visible clues.

Then their eyes lit up as they saw the hundreds of beast corpses lying within.

...It was as Jing Tao had said, all of them were grade 7 beasts! Their number was over 400. Along with the corpse and soul stone, the value was amount to 1500 grade 7 beast crystals. Just the income within the valley was equal to all they got outside of it.

What attracted their attention was the center of the canyon. A person sitting there with a shining Phoenix pattern red sword. The sword shone, it had numerous cracks like it was on the verge of breaking. It was also where the martial intent cane from.

All the grade 7 beasts were all split in the head by a sharp blade.

”It is a magical weapon above grade 2, no wonder!”

The so-called magical weapon was just a magical artifact. Zong Shou exclaimed, however, he didn't look carefully. Instead, he focused on his Dantian using the power of the token to move the spiritual seeds in his body.

When he grabbed the token just now, the 18 sword intent seeds showed signs of gathering and merging.
