436 Heart Demon Oath (1/2)

The current Zong Shou had no idea what was happening within the void. In his heart, he was silently cursing at Hanfang and common people's path for being stingy.

”Although we won the battle today, those Tailing Sect people knew the amount of strength that we had. Can't they just send more people over? They should send 1 thousand mysterious dragon warriors. If they can't send 1 thousand then 600 will do…”

Xuan Shu gritted his tongue, 1 thousand? 600? The first seat was asking for so much.

Even they brought over 1 thousand or even 600 men, even he will feel confident.

”If they can't send 600 then a few more grade 7 experts will do. Don't tell me the 3 sects and 6 schools can't be compared to one Tailing Sect?”

One Tailing Sect could casually gather up 800 purple cloud sword cavalry whilst their common people path only sent 400 cavalry.

Zong Shou was feeling delighted due to the amount of strength that the common people path had shown. Now looking at it, the gap was a little huge.

As they say, a good housewife cannot cook without rice!

That Xuan Shu was speechless, on the side of Zhao Yanran she helped him explain, ”It isn't that our common people path can't be compared to Tailing Sect. It is because we have too many enemies and we need to defend and be wary about many areas which take up a lot of manpower. As such, there isn't much strength we can use up out of the blue.”

Zong Shou's brows furrowed, in the end, he sighed. He also guessed at the common people's path were enemies with the Taoist, Buddhists, and Confucians, it was also up against the demon sect. Apart from their relationship with the Sword Sect which was decent, the others were all dead enemies.

”If I was in charge, I would pull some people over even if I have to risk my life, and also make it a big deal. It is best if Tailing Sect throws more troops over, the more the better…”

Xuan Shu's eyes lit up as he understood what Zong Shou meant. The more stakes that the common people path place here, Tailing Sect will also most probably add strength here. Once victory was decided, it was enough to cause the top Taoist sect to lose some of their strength.

The future days of the common people's path will also become much easier.

”I will inform master about this, maybe he can shift over 2 more units of mysterious dragon warriors…”

Not only Xuan Shu, but the eyes of Zhao Yanran and the others besides all lit up.

Zong Shou smiled, with the intelligence of these few people, there was no need for him to make it so clear.

Then he smiled and asked Xuan Yunlan, ”This time no one died right?”

When the latter heard that she instantly shook her head, ”Fortunately! We only burnt ten over houses and after this matter ends we can compensate them…”

Zong Shou nodded his head slightly. Actually, in his heart, he didn't mind much and felt a little emotional. He despised the actions of those ten over common people path disciples.

That night when he snatched the position of monster king and when to conquer those 7 provinces, he had already harmed many innocent people.

Although he felt ashamed, if he was to do it again, he would do the same thing.

With the mentality he had from ten thousand years later, he felt uncomfortable everywhere in this era.

Xuan Yunlan was halfway into her words before she suddenly kept quiet. Her eyes looked into the distance to see that Luoshi and the others were leading the many elite disciples over in this direction.

After walking in, that Luoshi bowed with an awkward expression, ”Thank you, first seat Tanqiu, for helping to save us!”

The feeling in his heart was extremely complicated. Before this, he planned to hurt Tanqiu for not doing anything and felt that the sect was taking the matter too lightly to let this kid assassinate Yuan Jiuchen.

However, today when he looked on as Tanqiu swept the battlefield, defeating 4 grade 7 experts. Be it a martial path or battlefield skills, he was much weaker than Tanqiu.

On one side he felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly. He was originally prepared to save someone within the city but was plotted against him. He became the bait—baiting Tailing Sect to spread out their strength.

On the other hand, he felt grateful and knew that this time if it wasn't for him really acting to save them, probably at least 30% of them would die within the city.

The elite disciples of the 3 sects and 6 schools all kept silent, their expressions changing.

The looking down and disdain before had disappeared. They were filled with respect. Some even many female disciples sized up Zong Shou up and down with a bright gaze.

However, most of them felt extremely dejected. They felt extremely downcasted.

Zong Shou originally wanted to mock them but looking at the situation, it wasn't appropriate for him to say that.

He could only coldly sweep out at all the people, saying flatly, ”When we return, go to your seniors and ask for punishment, there will be no next time. In my eyes, although you are so called elite disciples, you aren't like these senior brothers within the mysterious dragon warriors. I heard that the common people's path has rules. Even if one doesn't become a dao soldier, one still needs to cultivate the mysterious dragon art support cultivation method. Which one of you learned it? One arrow can be easily broken but 10 together will be indestructible. Don't you guys not know about this theory? What a mob…”

Behind Zong Shou, those few hundred common people mysterious dragon warriors had their spirits lifted.

As for those hundred elite disciples, their faces flushed red. They felt really ashamed, unwilling to raise their heads.

Even if they felt unwilling to admit defeat in their hearts and wanted to retort, they weren't able to speak up. When they looked at the battle just now, they could be considered the most useless group. They could only flee all about, and in fact, none of them went to cultivate that mysterious dragon art. Without this support cultivation method, if they joined into the cavalry force they would only be burdens.

Before, they felt that they were really special. Why would any of them pay attention to that secret technique for the mysterious dragon warriors?
