323 Chapter 323 Reactions of Each Side (1/2)

There was a bustle outside the doors of Kongqi Sect. More and more people gathered around here.

”...Isn't that person Taoyun City lord Yue Guanyun? Are my eyes playing tricks on me?”

”It looks like him, I have seen him before. How did he die here?”

”It definitely is him. I heard he tried to assassinate Gantian City lord Zong Shou and failed and was killed on the spot. With Kongqi Sect outer sect deacon Qiao Han as a witness. They are hanging the corpse here as a warning...”

That group of people instantly took in a deep breath. Their voices were even more chaotic and loud, pretty much unable to hear carefully.

”So it really is him! He probably couldn't outwit Gantian Mountain so he tries to assassinate him. Whose hands did he die in, to end up in such a tragic state?”

”Hei! This world seems like it's about to change. Donglin is going to be ruled by one party. I originally thought that the Gantian Monster king inheriting the throne at such a young age that Zong Weiran's legacy would be lost. Who knew this kid would be so skilled! Even if that person has no skill he still deserves to be feared!”

”That Yue Guanyun is an overlord of a generation. He actually died just like that? Who did he get killed by...”

Xiong Ba felt his hands turn cold. As for the words those people said, he didn't bother to listen carefully. He exchanged gazes with Feng Nu whose speed was faster than him, who arrived earlier than him. Both of them could clearly feel the chill in each other's hearts.

The death of Yue Guanyun meant that the entire Taoyun City didn't have a person to rule it and take charge. Wouldn't that Zong Shou become more unrestrained and untamed?

They were even more astonished. Yue Guanyun was peak earth chakra meridian, not far away from the ascended realm. Who around Zong Shou had such ability? To make him fail to escape and even get killed on the spot? Such that the few Xuanwu ancestors the 3 cities sent were all killed, none of them surviving?”

Many thoughts spun in their heads as Xiong Ba looked all around. He saw that there were tens of people nearby standing rooted and looking at the bodies on the carriages.

He recognized a few of them. The manager of Moyun Sect here in Psychic Island. It was this person who sent them a spirit master. With that person there, they weren't afraid. Apart from that, there was the Xue family, Mysterious cloud spirit sect, Xuanwu Sect, daoming Sect, Demon Flag Sect, and the Cangjian Villa. Apart from that, there was the aristocratic family deacon that often gave them benefits who were present. They either frowned and didn't speak, or they showed some worry, their faces were green and white, none of them had good expressions on their faces.

Following which, Xiong Ba felt his heart shake as a warning sign rose up in his heart. He instinctively looked towards the doors of Kongqi Sect once more.

Following which he saw Zong Shou walkout. His cold eyes staring right towards Feng Nu and him. The cold killing intent could nearly freeze him...

He knew in his heart that from this day on the name of this teen would spread across all mountains and seas, known by everyone in the world.

He was 14 years old but the ruler of a country!

...

Several hundred miles out of this place, there was a leaf boat which was floating on the cloud ocean. It didn't have the huge size of those cloud ships, but it was tens of times faster.

Sitting on it was Long Ruo, and he didn't use any spells. He only released his soul, connecting with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and naturally, there was wind who blew onto the light boat, allowing to swiftly move in the air.

Beside him was Jing Tao Zhenren who had just parted ways with Zong Shou not Long ago.

”So it seems like he had planned it before he entered the beast tomb and led you into the trap?”

Seeing Jing Tao Zhenfei nod his head, Long Ruo instantly broke out into a laugh, ”What a cunning kid! It seems like I can't blame senior master for this. This kid is so scheming and planned it out exquisitely. Anyone else would have fallen for it. Even I also fell into his plan. I thought he hired our disciples because he was worried those 3 cities would attack them...”

”Although this kid is really scheming, his personality is not bad. He knows how to treat people well. Moreover, our Lingyun Sect has gained a lot from this trip!”

Although Zong Shou had made use of him, Jing Tao Zhenren still had a good impression of Zong Shou. Especially before he left the boat Zong Shou also personally gave him a few more corpse harboring pinnacle sword grass as an apology which touched him.

This teen was most probably a good person. It was just because he was a city lord that he had no choice.

Spending 20 days of time together, he had a feeling that Zong Shou didn't really care much about power, and seemed like he has other goals in life.

He suddenly had a thought, raising his head and staring at Long Ruo with burning eyes, ”Didn't junior Long say that observing the shooting star scene on Psychic Island 10 days later can help you comprehend sword intent? So why are we leaving so early?”

Long Ruo still sat down, he didn't try to hide anything as he said expressionlessly, ”If we didn't leave early, those people are wary against Lingyun Sect so how would they dare to Attack Zong Shou?”

Jing Tao felt a chill down his spine as his brows furrowed, ”Gantian Mountain returned this time with huge profits. Their power has definitely ballooned. However, in my eyes, they most probably recovered to the state when Zong Weiran was still alive. Even without us acting, the other sects will find a way to dissolve them. Zong Shou doesn't have any martial cultivation. Anyone in the sect could kill him. Why did junior Long have to treat him as an enemy? Your bias towards him is so deep? I know you had once rejected him from entering our sect. Why did you have to do that? As an outer sect disciple, Gantian Mountain would instead be under our wing...”

”Senior master Jing Tao please be careful with your words!”
