384 Chapter 383 Not Too Late (1/2)
”Ha! Ha! Ha…”
Within the cloud saint city lord manor, Xu Zhengyuan was crazily laughing as he happily drank a mouthful of intense wine. He was enthusiastically drawing on the table which was in front of him. In just a moment a giant hunting fowl jumped onto the paper. It looked like an eagle but it wasn't an eagle, like a roc but wasn't a roc. Its wings were golden in color, huge, and was about to spread its ring to fly.
Liancheng who was beside him looked on quietly until he completed it. Then he smiled, ”Golden-winged large roc, to use such a god beast to describe Zong Shou, it is most suitable…”
Legend had it that when the golden-winged roc was in its infancy it was no different from normal birds, even weaker, being bullied by many beasts.
But the moment it grew up it would be able to roar in the tens of thousands of miles of sky, flying high above all god beasts. It could adapt to the most arduous environments, it was resilient and was always able to win in the toughest and most intense battles.
If one just focused on close combat fighting ability, even the emperor of the birds the phoenix was weaker.
Xu Zhengyuan smiled and placed down his brush, ”I wasn't wrong about him, now that he has obtained the legacy of the nine dragon shadow sword, the last weakness of the ruler has been filled up. With Dragon Shadow old man as the support, even if common people path doesn't aid him, no one would dare to move against him. I didn't think that the ruler could defeat Long Ruo, shocking the world in one battle, even obtaining the praise of the martial saint. He is really like a fish that jumped to become a dragon. From now on, he would soar above the world, going wherever he wants. Who knows what Lingyun Sect would do on their side?”
”The news still hasn't been spread out!”
Liancheng slightly shook his head, if it wasn't for their cloud saint city paying close attention to Zong Shou at every moment, they would probably find out about the Dragon Gathering Mountain matter a few days later.
”I only know that 6 hours after the matter, the disciples of Lingyun Sect who were outside all rushed back to the sect. On the side of Pill Spirit Mountain, they started to up their alertness. Those heroes from the various sects who returned from the Dragon Gathering Mountain also seemed to diss Lingyun Sect and talk about them with disdain. He should have been the future pillar of the sect but due to the shortsightedness and arrogance of inner sect disciples, he was chased out of the sect. And the ruler's father even had kindness towards Lingyun Sect. Everyone feels that Lingyun Sect's disciples are too arrogant and the people in power are abusing it. If this goes on, the destruction of the sect is near us. They are already showing signs of weakening. As for the attitude of those evil sects, Liancheng is unsure. However, these people probably won't give up on such an opportunity. After all, it is a shrine. Even the righteous sects out of the 19 spiritual houses will be tempted…”
”Hey! Who knew that their Lingyun Sect would have such a day!”
Xu Zhengyuan laughed, coldness appearing in his eyes. He didn't care much. Although Lingyun Sect lost all of their face this time, their strength didn't weaken a single bit, enough to still support the sect. A few small powers that aren't of comparable strength won't be able to do nothing to this sect.
Just thinking about it seriously, Hu Zhengyuan once again waved his brush, ”Spread an order on my behalf to let Zheng Fang return.”
Liancheng was stunned, Zheng Fang, who Hu Zhengyuan talked about was known as Xu Zheng Fang. He was the brother of Xu Zhengyuan and was now leading 170 thousand troops into the south to take back the land they lost before. Down south they were unstoppable and crushed everything in their way.
In just a few days, cloud saint city would be able to reclaim all their territory as when they were at their most prosperous period. This moment was also when Gantian Mountain was at its strongest and when Zong Shou's name would shock the world. He didn't understand why Xu Zhengyuan would decide to stop now?
”Its because the ruler's name is going to spread far and wide that we have to stop now…”
He seemed to see through what Liancheng was thinking about. A bright glow shone in Xu Zhengyuan's eyes, ”In the past Lingyun Sect didn't care much about Gantian Mountain and us. But now they would pay attention to the overall situation of Donglin Cloud Continent. Our Cloud Saint City just have to wait our turn and store up strength. When the ruler goes to war with Donglin Sect, we will then viciously stab them in the back!”
When he heard the last sentence, Liancheng couldn't help but take in a cold breath, subconsciously feeling a cold extreme killing intent surge for his face.
He carefully looked at Xu Zhengyuan's face, only to see like something was burning in those eyes.
Liancheng recognized that it was endless amounts of hate. Starting ten over years ago and getting stronger one day after another!
If he was unable to vent it, there will probably be a day when it will combust on its own and cause Xu Zhengyuan to go crazy.
...
Pretty much at the same time, 20 thousand miles away from Dragon Gathering Mountain, 300 miles away from the cloud palace.
Wu Hua was stepping on the clouds, crossing his arms as he stood straight, his eyes distracted as he looked into the east.
Behind him stood a person, it was Ling Lie. And behind him, there were 3 people.
It wasn't suitable to call them people, they were just 3 balls of mist. 2 of them had a human form which was Long Ruo and Han Nishui. Li Yuandan was the last as his cultivation was the weakest of the 3, his soul could only form into a mist shape.
They all kept silent and didn't say a word, even that Ling Lie also held his breath.
”This is about as far as we should go.”
