331 Chapter 331 24 People (1/2)

Opposite the emperor robed old man sat one more person. He was roughly 30 odd years old. Even when he was within this palace, he wore heavy armor. His face was delicate and handsome, a long beard grew from his chin making him appear dignified.

”I know of this kid, I heard he is only 14 years old and his methods and schemes are no weaker than his dad. I originally thought that after Zong Weiran died, Gantian Mountain should weaken and fall. Who knew that this kid would shock all of us with his appearance, being so aggressive in Donglin Cloud Continent. I had analyzed the way he used troops and there was nothing special. There were only 2 points. One is that he is well versed and the other is that he is swift, often striking the crucial areas, hitting the weak spot of the enemy before they can even react. He doesn't look like someone who had just started controlling troops and having power over an army, he is more like someone who had been through a hundred wars…”

”Oh? Supreme Military official has such high praise for this kid?”

The emperor robed old man's white brows moved slightly following which he took a deep breath, ”12 Provinces which means ten thousand miles of land from north to south. This Gantian Mountain can barely establish a country system. Maybe in the future, they might even have a possibility of unifying the Donglin Cloud Continent…”

The old man suddenly stood up, walking to a bookshelf at the side. He first took out a scroll there from the row marked as A and the 34th collum. Only to see the cover of the scroll marked the words Gantian Mountain Zong Weiran.

Then the emperor robbed old man casually used the brush to write down the name Zong Shou after Zong Weiran.

Following that, he thought about it and added the words, ”formidable teen”.

”14 years old? I remember when I was 14 I only knew how to play with birds and walk the dog, doing nothing with my life. Whilst this Zong Shou is on the battlefield destroying armies of millions. If my son could be like this, why would I have to be so worried? Worry about the god-emperor situation…”

Giving out a self-mocking laugh, the old man shifted the place of the scroll to the 24th column.

Looking at the wooden shelf, his gaze was indistinct, ”A strong enemy hasn't been handled and a new one is added. I don't know whether or not I should feel depressed or excited…”

The middle-aged man, that was called the supreme military official, body slightly trembled before he regained calmness. He had gotten used to the emperor behaving like that during the recent few years.

At the same time, in Donglin Continent tens of thousands of miles away, there was also a person who was standing by the city wall, carving Zong Shou's name onto the walls.

This person was around 20 years old, his forehead was really wide, his features were surprisingly not ugly but had a unique quality. The people following him patrolled the city walls, at this moment they were standing quietly behind this teen.

”Gantian Mountain, Zong Shou!”

The teen carved the last stroke and then kept silent. His face was dark and sunken as he looked at the city behind him.

This was a huge city that was not worse than Gantian mountain, even a little better, The streets were prosperous and busy, people were packed and brushed by one another.

Only this teen was absent-minded. His brain just repeated the words, Zong Shou, over and over.

”6 battles 6 wins, mighty lords like Xiong Ba and Feng Nu were beaten so cleanly…”

In the end, all the worrying thoughts turn into a smile, ”It's okay. If I don't have any opponents in my life wouldn't it feel regretful?”

...

It was a whole other scene within Gantian Mountain city. The battle reports from the frontlines had spread back to here and all the streets hung banners and decorations. Everyone in the city was gaily dressed, dolling them up to the celebratory spirit.

On the 3rd day morning, numerous people gathered at the east city gate, surrounding the area such that not even water could flow past.

Hu Zhongyuan had long ago led the 20 thousand cavalry and arrived, he was ordered to maintain order in this area along with the east city army.

Looking at the situation around the city gates he was shocked. Even when Zong Weiran was alive, Gantian Mountain was never so bustling before.

He couldn't help but feel impressed by his old man's foresight. If they waited for the ruler to return on the carriage, they wouldn't be able to move an inch here.

He didn't show any courtesy at all as he ordered the hundreds of thousands of east city troops to wave sticks to forcefully split the crowd to the sides of the road.

At this point, he had already broken through to the Xuanwu ancestor realm. After he made a serious face, his aura was also really threatening. Along with the fact that he had killed on the battlefield these few days, slaying countless amounts of people, his body was filled with killing intent. When he scolded out, he gave off a really strong aura. Even when normal people looked at him, they would be unable to hold their gaze for long.

Those that didn't listen, he viciously smacked them with the huge stick.

In just a short moment, be it by scolding or hitting, he cleared out a road towards the city center.
