431 A Little Gamble Helps Bring People Closer (1/2)
”These fellows aren't good at helping, but they are really good and messing things up!”
Xuan Yunlan sighed, ”It is my fault. I didn't pay attention to the actions of my juniors and seniors. It isn't much of an issue—we just need to chase them back in time. Luoshi and Xie An are not pushovers and won't fall for that Yuan Jiuchen's schemes…”
Zong Shou's brows frowned as he heard that. Within a single day, he felt like he was several years older.
These people were smart which was why it was tough handling the situation. If Luoshi and the others wanted to hide their tracks and avoid them, then it would be extremely difficult for Xuan Shu and them to find them.
Speaking of which he had to blame himself. After all, this wasn't Gantian Mountain. Within the Gantian army, no matter how his subjects didn't understand, how much rejection they held in their hearts, they wouldn't go against his orders.
All his plans had nothing to do with these people from start to finish. He also didn't need their help. He just treated them as useless chess pieces. They just needed to watch on by the side which was why he was lazy to explain to these people.
His brows tightly locked. At the corner of his eyes, he saw a teen girl who was resting on the stone wall. She was the person who tried to charm him using the heart charming grass and beautiful demon technique-Yongqin.
Zong Shou felt weird. He walked over and pointed lightly at the center of her brows. A water elemental spiritual energy injected in, causing her eyes to twitch.
A moment later Yongqin opened her eyes. When she saw Zong Shou, she was frightened. Her body shrunk backward and for some reason, her face also flushed red in embarrassment.
Zong Shou's heart was like a clear mirror. It was clear why the girl would react in such a way.
His face was proper, and he acted as if he didn't know, ”You were struck unconscious to stop them? Why didn't you follow them along? Oh, you followed sect rules, acting in the nick of time, not bad…”
Based on what he knew, this brat was one of the people who were the most annoyed with him. She tried to make connections with many in her sect, swearing to overthrow that useless and incompetent first seat.
Yongqin was stunned, following which her eyes shooting out flames as she said, ”No! I am the first who said I wanted to leave this damn place to save people…”
Following which she calmed down, ”It must be because junior niece Xuanye felt it was so dangerous. Which was why they would hit me unconscious!”
Zong Shou nodded his head as he heard that, thinking that this person was the main culprit. Following which he turned his gaze towards Chuxue.
The latter was at a loss, not knowing why Zong Shou was looking at her.
As for Xuan Shu and Xuan Yunlan at the side, they didn't bother with what Yongqin was saying. They were worried, wondering how they could save the situation.
Zhao Yanran's expression changed slightly and regained calm. For Zong Shou to still be in the mood to joke with this senior master, she must have a way to solve the situation. Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.
She had followed Zong Shou for close to a year, and she knew that there was close to nothing in the world that was too difficult for this fellow.
However, her brows furrowed as an unwillingness rose up in her heart. She didn't know why Zong Shou would still be so confident at such a stage. But when she calmed herself down and thought about it, she still had no idea.
On the side of Zong Shou, after confirming that this Yongqin had no idea to know about the tracks of Luoshi and the others, he stopped bothering about that silly girl. Turning around and saying flatly, ”As they say, Good fortune follows upon disaster; Disaster lurks within good fortune. There are always 2 sides in this world. Luoshi and the others leaving might not be a bad thing. If planned well who knows we might be able to have a huge victory over Tailing Sect.”
Many people here rose as they looked towards Zong Shou in astonishment. With the current situation, it would be good if it didn't turn for the worse, whilst Zong Shou was thinking about beating Tailing Sect.
Xuan Yunlan's pupils constricted. Then, she regained calmness once more. When Zong Shou led the Gantian Mountain fleet down the cloud ocean to hunt, no one had high hopes. However, in the end, the Gantian mountain fleet got bountiful gains—using it as a chance to reclaim their lost land and swallow several provinces.
He seemed to be able to keep calm at any moment—like there was nothing too tough for him.
As expected from the ruler of a nation, the soul of the king of hundreds of races of the monster race.
”Within a day, I want all the maps of the area nearby to Lewu County!”
He was unaware of everyone's gazes around him. Zong Shou clenched his fist and punched at his palm, for some reason he started to get excited. A pair of fox years couldn't help but rise, his eyes flashed with passion and determination.
”...Oh right! Your common people path mysterious dragon warrior sword technique and sutra, you have to let me see it!”
Originally, he wanted to complete this mission cleanly and as quickly as possible. Then, he wanted to calmly cultivate to break through to the 7th grade and form his two extreme yin and yang dharma.
To be able to first have a battle and try that Tailing Sect's Taiqing Chengfeng sword didn't seem like a bad option.
The legacy sword technique—infinitely close to grade 9 and half a step to world shocking grade—was something he wanted to learn from long ago.
Only in the last life, he wasn't fated to see it. The more he thought about it, the more tempted he was!
Since gentle methods couldn't solve the problem, then why not take a face approach. That was his Tanqiu's style!
Xuan Shu's brows furrowed as he heard that. He didn't understand why Zong Shou would be so confident.
However, for some reason, he felt relaxed. Maybe this first seat had a way.

3 days later, roughly 20 miles east of Lewu County, on a small mountain peak.
230 cavalry were all lined up orderly within. The formation was sharp at the front and wide at the back like that of a cone shape.
