428 Facing the Blade to Dissolve the Situation (2/2)
Everything that happened during the god-emperor era was confusing. He knew that 12 years later this Liao prince was made crown prince and that high spirited Han King ended up in house arrest.
As for Yuan Jiuchen, for some reason not only did he not lose his position, but he was instead promoted and heavily trusted.
This thing might have some chance of succeeding.
Closing his eyes to rest up, Zong Shou thought about it following which he smiled towards Xuan Yunlan, ”Yunlan I have 2 more things to instruct. I heard that this Liao King likes to tour and reveal troops? Can you ask the sect to send a few seniors over for an assassination?”
Xuan Yunlan was startled, her first thought was that Zong Shou was crazy. It wasn't like the common people path had never assassinated a prince, but every time, the central dynasty would crazily counter attack, even the righteous sects would work together.
Now that the spiritual wave was about to arrive, at such a time, to make the common people path the target of everyone would cause them irrecoverable losses.
Furthermore, she couldn't tell how the death of the Liao King would link with the death of Yuan Jiuchen.
When Zhao Yanran heard that, her brows furrowed. However before she even asked, Zong Shou smiled, ”Naturally we won't want to kill this Liao King. We just need to force out that Taiqing Chengfeng sword. Don't tell me that your Qingyin School can't do that? Although I don't have any proof, it wouldn't matter to have a try. Let's set the time to 2 months later, 10 days before the Han King gets appointed…”
Hearing that last sentence, Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan's expressions changed. They both couldn't help but stand up.
”You mean Tailing Sect and the Liao King…”
Before they completed their sentences, they saw Zong Shou place his fingertip on his lips. With a ”shush” he made them keep quiet.
Xuan Yunlan stopped speaking, seeing that the people around all looked over, they sat back down, her petite face was dark and uncertain.
”I would tell the sect about this. However, I still need 2 Seven Spirit Sect seniors to act. Rather than using force, it is better to charm their senses.”
An impressed expression appeared in Zong Shou's eyes, all of a sudden he forgot that the methods of this 'demon path sect', Qingyin School and Beautiful Demon Sect were much stronger than others.
”The second matter that I want help with is that 2 months later, I want to personally meet that Han King…”
That Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan instantly frowned. They first found the matter inappropriate, but then, their expressions turned back to normal.
Since he had already had plans on the side of Liao King, then it was expected that he meet the Han King, there was nothing dangerous about it.
All of a sudden she felt a little disbelief. If it was as what Zong Shou expected, then the matter that bugged the common people path for close to 20 years would be easily solved.
Not only could it cause that Yuan Jiuchen to die a terrible death, but they could also let Tailing Sect taste how it felt like to be plotted against.
Xuan Yunlan clenched her fists tightly to suppress the excitement in her heart. Zong Shou's words naturally didn't have any evidence but if they carefully deduced and guessed then there was a 90% possibility.
If not she wouldn't have sought help from the sect so easily.
Originally she didn't have much hope when she came over but now it seems like a little stimulation by Zong Shou, there was a 70% chance of winning!
As expected from the wise ruler who inherited the throne as a kid and wiped out many cities, shocking a continent.
Legend had it that the sky fox race was crafty. Now it seemed like the truth!
”Within the common people path, secrecy is difficult with so many people sharing it. There might be hidden chess pieces from Tailing Sect. To have more confidence regarding that matter we need to keep it a secret! Both of you don't keep your hopes too high…”
Zong Shou himself only had 20% confidence. He only planned according to the historical reports that he saw in the last life. As such, his confidence wasn't as high as that of Xuan Yunlan.
Whilst he said that he thought about whether or not any areas needed perfecting.
Following which he felt like there was an aura silently getting close to them from below.
Just as Zong Shou tried to sense it, numerous sand and dust particles rose up. A giant worm suddenly charged out from the sand, a full 400 feet long body suddenly opened its mouth. Inside it was filled with sharp teeth which bit towards Zong Shou.
”Sandworm?”
”There are such worms near the border of Guangling Han Ocean? It's grade 7…”
”Tanqiu isn't dodging. Don't tell me he was scared silly?”
”I want to see how without our help he would be able to deal with it.”
The people around all smiled as they discussed but no one seemed like they were about to help Zong Shou deal with this sandworm.
Zong Shou shook his head, Hanxi who was within his sleeves had already woke up, even the lightning winged flood serpent was ready to go.
However, in the next moment, he shouted, ”Mysterious dragon!”
A red-colored giant sword suddenly slashed down, the aura was similar to the hundreds of common people mysterious dragon warriors. The aura it gave off was that of a grade 8 one, just one sword slashed the body of the sandworm into 2!
The sword flashed as the remaining part of the sandworm was cut up into pieces.
