314 Chapter 314 Crushing Defea (1/2)

After firing 800 energy destroying crossbows for close to 2 hours, they slowly calm to a halt. Those cannon barrels crafted from expensive spiritual metal were all blistering hot red. Even Gu Liekong had purposely lowered the rate of firing after the peak of the beast flood. However all things added together, they had consumed 50 thousand grade 6 crystals in total!

Pretty much using up all the grade 6 crystals that they had obtained from the beast tomb. They even had to use up 200 odd grade 7 beast crystals before they managed to survive.

However, the results of the battle were great. The beast wave that was surging aggressively had calmed down, the canyon was filled with the corpses of beasts.

Most of the beasts were directly smashed into dust by the energy destroying crossbows, However, there were still many who were left.

The 1800 cloud ships under Zong Shou were all perfectly fine. When they crossed out from within the canyon they only felt that a bloody stench pierced their noses and the deathly energy was much thicker. There were threads of cold Ying energy which made their bodies feel cold.

Zong Shou was still standing on the deck, his face filled with extreme pain. It was indeed worthy of being heart pained. Close to 50 thousand grade 6 beast crystals were consumed. Which was about 500 grade 7, 5 million grade 4 beast crystals?

Just to plot against those 4 thousand cloud ships whose values were much lower, it was indeed totally not worth it.

Chai Yuan's son Chai Zhou didn't understand, persuading at the side, ”The ruler doesn't need to be like this! To get away peacefully, we had to consume such amounts. Our Gantian Mountain has still earned this time. Although the beast corpses here are damaged, the beast crystals on beasts grade 4 and above are all strong and aren't easy to be destroyed. If we clean it carefully we can gather up around 3 million of them. We will still make profits.”

Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan at the side were speechless. As for Gu Liekong, Zhu Junhou and Ling Fakong, they looked towards Chai Zhou with empathy in their eyes.

What an innocent kid. He was still kept in the dark even now. Didn't he notice that the eyes of the ruler were laughing?

Although Hu Zhongyuan didn't know the exact situation, it wasn't that his intellect is better than Chai Yuan. But because he knew Zong Shou's personality well and he was just faking it. There was no pain in the rulers face...

”This time, it is because of my greed which caused your highness to use up so many resources.”

Jing Tao Zhenren sighed, his white brows furrowing, ”Unfortunately my position in the sect is too low. If not I would compensate your highness for your losses. This time, I feel guilty. How about this, count it as I Jing Tao owe you a favor?”

Zong Shou's heart jumped when he heard it, knowing that his acting had gone overboard. He profiting from it and still wanting more. That was the type that was hated by all. He waved his sleeves and smiled, ”Zhenren doesn't need to do that! I should thank you. If it wasn't for that cloud shocking illusionary token how would I be able to get the inheritance of that senior? Just this heaven and earth-bag is enough to make up for the losses this time. It's more than enough!”

Jing Tao nodded slightly, liking Zong Shou more and more.

Thinking about before about what that Long Ruo said, he couldn't help but laugh. His highness is so magnanimous and intelligent. How is he as bad as what that Long Ruo said?

It was said that his highness wanted to join Lingyun Sect several months earlier but Long Ruo rejected him. It seems like he has a deep bias against him.

Just as he was thinking about it, the black fog in front was illuminated by those balls of light.

Then numerous ship wreckages appeared in front of all their eyes. Looking out it was densely packed, no one knew how many there were, blocking up the entire entrance to the canyon.

Thus the entire fleet, 1800 cloud ships went silent. In just a moment there was a total commotion.

”I recognize that. It's the cloud flag of Taoyun City. Those ships, they are from those 3 cities. Weren't they already ditched by us? How did they appear here?”

”How pitiful, there should be around 3 thousand ships destroyed? Did they all get crushed here?”

”Isn't that the flagship of Yue Guanyun? The seven-tooth giant ship that cost 80 thousand grade 7 beast crystals to craft was destroyed just like that?”

Hu Zhongyuan and Chai Zhou were silent. No matter how slow they were, they slowly understood what had happened now.

The reason why the cloud ships from these 3 cities were all destroyed here probably had something to do with Zong Shou.

Zong Yuan had a smile at the corner of his lips. He wasn't the first out of all of them to notice but he wasn't the last.

Jing Tao Zhenren's face turned green and white. His heart bumped, instantly numerous pictures flashed across his mind and formed a picture.

All of a sudden he didn't know what to do. He also wasn't sure whether or not he had fallen for a plot.

It wasn't much if Zong Shou schemed against him. He had been through numerous storms and the things in front of him wasn't much and he could accept this hit.

The key was that from today on the situation in the west of Donglin had lost balance!

They had obtained an entire beast tomb whilst the fleet from those 3 cities were pretty much all destroyed. Millions of elite soldiers were lost. The situation in the west of Donglin was going to instantly change.
