329 Chapter 329 Next Level Scolding (1/2)
The expression of Han Nishui was so dark and sunken.
Before he came, be it the elders of the sect or him, they felt that using the name of Lingyun Sect and Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect they could probably suppress Zong Shou and force him to take a step aside.
But after he arrived, such a scene had occurred instead. Zong Shou was so unyielding!
What made one annoyed was that the 2 of them were simply too disappointing, for such a situation to occur at the crucial moment.
”It is okay if you aren't willing to be my subordinate…”
Zong Shou didn't care, sitting down on the soft mattress. His eyes looked calm but slowly rage built up and gathered in the depths of his eyes.
What he hated the most in his life was being threatened by people.
”Then choose the other option, cut off your arm! No, I changed my mind, half a province isn't enough. Both of you each spit out one province how about that? Longze and Fuyao provinces, the time limit of the contract will be shortened to 3 years. I do indeed have to answer to my soldiers…”
When he said that, Xiong Ba stared furiously with his eyes opened wide, saying seriously,”f*** you, you insatiable. You want to force us to break through your net before you will stop? At most I will just die together with you…”
When Zong Shou heard that, he wasn't furious, scoffing slightly, ”Uncle Qiu, tell this Xiong Ba that after our Gantian Mountain takes down Taoyun City, how many troops can we gather from the west front?”
Qiu Wei smiled softly, his chin relaxing slightly, ”Not including support troops there are 600 thousand elites. Subordinate city troops that meet our standards should be around a million…”
”Only 600 thousand? It's a little fewer than I expected!”
Zong Shou felt there were too little troops, asking, ”Where are the Xuan Mountain reinforcements?”
”Ruler the 540 thousand Xuan Mountain troops are rushing over!”
The one who replied this time was Hu Qianqiu. His voice was majestic and filled with energy,” Led by Xuan Mountain City general Hai Tianyuan, in roughly 3 days they will be able to cross Ruohai Straits!”
”How many city lords and country rulers are willing to aid us in this Weining province?”
Hu Qianqiu and Qiu Wei exchanged glances with one another, they weren't able to confirm the number, was it 30 or 40?
They only knew that even if the surrounding cities didn't immediately pledge their allegiance, most of them send messengers in the dark to leave themselves a way out.
However, were they going to tell those 2 people about this?
Ruo Shui said gently, ”Including Shengde Province, there are 49 cities. There are 50 odd of them who sent messengers towards Gu Ou City.”
Only then did Zong Shou smile as he looked towards Xiong Ba, ”Your troop numbers aren't as good as Gantian, you all are also unable to defend Huling Hill. Since that's the case, then what ability do the 2 of you have to go all out against me? What ability do you have to drag me down together with you? Preposterous!”
His tone was calm but it was like it was filled with an ancient chill, smashing right on the heart of Xiong Ba, making him dumbfounded.”
There were a few times where he wanted to open up his mouth to retort but in the end, he felt speechless.
He knew about the few things that Qiu Wei and the others mentioned, if not why would he come over to ask for a ceasefire?
However, at that time he still had Gushan City and this Huling Hill defense line was still as stable as a boulder. He was also really confident that he would be able to block Gantian Mountain for close to half a year!
In the next instant, he thought about something and looked towards Han Nishui with blur and pleading eyes.
The latter furrowed his brows, resisting the anger in his chest and opened his mouth once more, ”Your highness Zong Shou, as they say where it is possible to let someone off you should spare them. These peace talks was an agreement of the many sects of the cloud continent, does city lord Zong want to be our enemies?”
Zong Shou burst into a laugh. If before this, that threatening intent was hidden and just slight, then now they had ripped across all the veils, not bothering to hide it at all.
”Where it is possible to let someone off you should spare them? Hehe, then what about my Gantian Mountain spies. What did that have to do with your sects? Why did you have to kill all of them?”
Seeing that Han Nishui hold his breath, Zong Shou's words seemed like a knife which slashed across. ”Even when you people use such dark and under the table methods, you still want my Gantian Mountain to take a step back. Are you worth it?”
Han Nishui felt vital energy and blood was flowing backward in his body, feeling a pulling pain. At this moment he could only forcefully suppress it, raising his hand and saying, ”Your highness probably misunderstood. My mysterious cloud sect didn't participate in that matter…”
”Didn't participate? So you all silently allowed it. Speaking of which, who cares whether or not you did, as long as I say you did what can you do to me?”
Zong Shou laughed coldly. He was a person who was unreasonable and didn't like speaking about reason to people.
”The so-called sect agreement didn't include the demon sects, there isn't the Confucians, the Buddhists and also not the sword sect and common people path, right? Hmm, I need to be a little reasonable and win people over with virtue! How about this, you call out all the murderers of my people and I can ask them to give me half a province less, that is fair enough…”
Han Nishui's face was dyed red, at this moment he didn't make a single sound. The backflow of blood in his body was getting stronger and stronger. A feeling of depression was like a hard brick stuck in his chest. Ruo Shui and Chuxue were looking at their master differently. They didn't expect that when Zong Shou got annoyed, he would be so good with words, so sharp and vicious, directly hitting the weakness of the enemy.
