330 Chapter 330 Choice for the Dragon Gate (1/2)

In Cloud Saint City, within the reading room of the city lord.

A high-grade cloud pattern snow paper was laid out on the table. Xu Zhengyuan's body was slightly bent. His left hand held a brush, writing with the ink with total focus.

After a short moment, a huge word, 'endure', had jumped onto the paper.

Strength seeped through the paper as he completed it in one breath. Along the way, he didn't tremble at all, it seems like his hand had already totally recovered and there were no more problems with it.

Moreover half a year ago he had already stepped into the Xuanwu ancestor realm.

This also meant not only did he recover his strength, but he had also gone to a whole new level!

...Since the withering sword energy in his hand was removed, these few days, his cultivation seemed like it was making up for the blank tens of years, it soared and showed explosive growth.

He had completed the 7th meridian and the 8th meridian was not far away.

Just as he was deep in thought the reading room door was suddenly opened. The manager of the city lord manner Liancheng strolled in. He had a weird look on his face due to what had just happened.

Xu Zhengyuan turned around in surprise, looking carefully at his overall demeanor, the bright glow in his eyes exploded, ”Has the Gantian Mountain war matter have an outcome?”　Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

In his heart, he felt that it was extremely quick. He originally thought that Zong Shou would take at least a year to deal with Feng Nu and Xiong Ba.

Both of them weren't easy people to deal with, if he made a mistake there was even a chance they might turn the tables.

”That's right!”

After Liancheng walked in he bowed and then his eyes landed on the big word on the table.

That 'endure' word on the table felt like a blade, unusually sharp as it stuck right into his heart.

His brows raised slightly before he regained calmness, ”After his highness crushed Taoyun City, he led just 20 thousand elite cavalry towards Huling Hill. He ordered Zong Yuan and Heli to lead troops into the enemy backline and burn Gushan City to the round. It was said that that place was the true area where Yunxia Mountain city was truly amassing grain.”

Xu Zhengyuan didn't understand at first, but when he heard that last sentence, his eyes instantly lit up, ”His highness has sharp eyes and can pinpoint the core areas. Using He River as bait to ambush the Gantian Mountain fleet...Feng Nu is worth his name. If it was anyone else they would have probably fallen for it!”

”That's right! After investigating the matter, that they found out that Yunxia and Blazing Flame City each placed 200 energy destroying crossbows there…”

Liancheng exclaimed, both sides had engaged several rounds and it made one feel dazzled.

During that time he was sweating cold sweat for the situation that Zong Shou and Gantian Mountain were facing.

”That noon, the 3 cities were forced to sign an alliance. Gantian Mountain would reclaim the land they lost months ago and Yunxia and Blazing Flame City were forced to give up another half province of land. The Gantian Mountain of today has already occupied 12 provinces. Not only did they recover all their reputation, but it is also even better than when Zong Weiran was still around…”

As he said that Liancheng's face was filled with worship, ”Looking at his highness ending battles quickly, when he entered Huanlong and the other 2 provinces, he was like lightning, not giving Taoyun City any time to react. In the battle at Huling Hill, he directly struck the weak point of the enemy. Everyone says that Zong Yuan is an unparalleled general but in my eyes in terms of skill in using troops, that purple lightning spear is far from his highness.”

Xu Zhengyuan laughed involuntarily. Other people didn't believe Zong Shou had such skill and would still push the credit to his men. However, the 2 of them were clear that his highness was the true teen genius that just hid his skills from the world.

His expression turned serious, only hearing Liancheng continue to say, ”Mysterious Cloud Spirit sect Han Nishui was there, it was said that he was there to mediate the situation. In the end, his highness didn't even show him any face, not only not caring but also insulting him, causing him to have no face at all. He directly forced Feng Nu and Xiong Ba to cut off an arm as an apology…”

”Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect, Han Nishui?”

Xu Zhengyuan muttered in his mouth before he tossed aside the brush in his hand, laughing crazily, ”What a person. I misjudged him. This news is good. With his highness's ability and the strength of Gantian Mountain, what could those sects do apart from those dark and underhanded means?”

He shook his head, ”I originally thought that his highness might need to borrow the strength of the common people path to solve the situation. Who knew that he would be so talented and in just a few battles he could cause the sects to be powerless. After this battle, his highness takes over 12 provinces, occupying 25% of Donglin Cloud Continent. There is no problem for him in establishing a country and becoming kind. Long Ruo thinks that he is easy to bully. I anticipate when they find out that the person they look down is a direct disciple of the common people path.”

”His highness's talent is something that no one in the same generation in the Donglin Cloud Continent can compare to.”

Liancheng felt slightly worried,” However the way I look at what his highness is doing, he doesn't seem to have much ambition like he didn't crave the power that much. Maybe his highness's goals aren't in this…”

Xu Zhengyuan smiled a little. Thinking back to before at the letters that came out from Gantian Mountain.

Apart from those government decrees that made one's eyes lit up, Zong Shou pretty much didn't bother about administrative matters. He left everything to his subordinates and didn't promote many trusted people.

It didn't seem like what an ambitious ruler would do. That cloud ocean hunt, as well as the way he used the troops this time, felt a little fishy.

He was too rushed! It was like he wanted to deal with everything so that he could let go of Gantian Mountain...

”This isn't a serious matter!”

Thinking about that Xu Zhengyuan smiled slightly, not caring much, ”With his personality, if Gantian Mountain is in danger, he wouldn't sit there and do nothing. Since he has inherited the monster king position, his actions aren't really up to him.”
