459 Chapter 457 Wings Already Grown (1/2)

”Blood Cloud Cavalry?”

Zong Shou was shocked, but his expression didn't change as he swept the people all around, wondering if the secret was leaked.

However, Qiuwei and Renbo were both expressionless, and he couldn't see through anything. He just laughed, ”Elder Qiao, are you talking about the Blood Cloud Cavalry that disappeared along with the Wulie Country? Are you joking with me? How would my Gantian Mountain have such elite cavalry?”

He knew that during these last two years, Qiaohan had been doing better and better in the Kongqi Sect. From outer sect deacon to inner sect deacon, and in the end he was promoted to elder.

Today a small part of the Kongqi Sect's business was in his hand, and in the future they would have to rely more on him. Even as the Ruler of a nation, he couldn't disregard this place.

”Act! Ruler, you can continue to act!” Qiaohan laughed coldly, a bright glow in his eyes. ”You can hide this from others, but not from me! Those thirty-five hundred sets of Blood Cloud Cavalry Armor and Blood Cloud Halberds were sold by me to Your Highness. Adding in the six hundred thousand spiritual weapons and armor my Kongqi Sect has provided you, your Gantian Mountain Sect has collected 2.4 million Grade One spiritual weapon and armor sets! A large half came from the Central Continent...”

Zong Shou was speechless, and didn't know what to say. He knew that, although this matter was kept secret, it was extremely hard to hide from the Kongqi Sect, who had such a powerful position in terms of weapons crafting. When they monitored events, things would be even tougher.

”That is true! However, what do these weapons and armor have to do with the Blood Cloud Cavalry? My Gantian Mountain is only trying to protect ourselves. As for the Blood Cloud Cavalry sets, indeed it was from elder, but we have taken a huge loss from it. Doesn't elder know about the weaknesses of the armor? Moreover, even with the equipment, where am I supposed to find the cultivation methods and manpower?”

Qiaohan was startled, following which he laughed involuntarily, shaking his head. ”It is because I was the one who personally sold it, which is why I paid close attention to it. Roughly eighteen months ago, Your Highness started to order people to collect support materials to fix the Blood Cloud Cavalry weaknesses. These past two years, Gantian Mountain has had many more Xiantian peak experts going missing for no reason.

”More recently there have been numerous spiritual herbs which your Gantian Mountain has swept up. Qiaohan specially asked someone to analyze the formula. It should be one that can help people break through bottlenecks and raise their grade, it's just that we don't know what the main herb was. Apart from that, Prime Minister Ren hired at least forty Grade Five artifact blacksmiths, who have since gone missing, too. Consolidating all these clues is why Qiaohan thinks that Your Highness is building the Blood Cloud Cavalry.”

In the end he sighed, ”Your Highness can't trust other people, but you can't trust me? I am already tied together with you! Life and death, prosperity or fall, we are as one. The Ruler is ambitious, your three million elites are better than those of the Central Dynasty, it seems it will not be long before you will be able to gather up all the spiritual weapons and armor.

”This power would be enough to sweep Donglin, but Ruler just doesn't want to act. Are you worried about that Lingyun and Mysterious Cloud Sect, or you are trying to act weak to draw them to attack you? This time, I, Qiaohan came to ask Ruler just to see what the current strength of Gantian Mountain is, just in case when you become enemies with the various Donglin sects my sect won't join the wrong side. Gantian Mountain's orders these past few years have taken care of our Kongqi Sect a lot. Ruler also won't be willing to see our sect lean towards Lingyun and Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect, right?”

Zong Shou was in deep thought. This thing was really a headache. This Qiaohao was often honest and simple, but this time he was truly smart.

Balancing the pros and cons, Zong Shou smiled, ”Forget it! Since elder has already guessed it, then I won't hide it from you anymore. This time you can follow me to take a look. However, elder must know that this thing is still top secret to our Gantian Mountain.”

Qiaohan was instantly delighted, bowing his head in thanks. His eyes were filled with awe, which disappeared instantly.

Guessing it was one matter, getting it proven was another!

This Gantian Mountain was actually making the Blood Cloud Cavalry reappear in the world!

The group of them continued ahead, until they were totally into the mountains. A full thirty miles in, another wide canyon appeared in front of their eyes.

There was actually an army camp here. At this moment there were twenty-eight hundred soldiers outside of the camp gates, wearing blood-colored armor and helmets, hands holding Blood Halberds, lined up outside.

Beneath them were Grade Four Peak Dragon Horn Winged Horses, also covered in crimson barding.

The bloody glow was charging towards the heavens, and could be seen from fifty miles out, even without moving, just solemnly standing there gave off a fierce killing energy.

Zong Shou's eyes lit up excitedly. A full twenty-eight hundred cavalry, the same as Renbo and Yin Yang had reported to him!

There were indeed people with bad intentions or ones who tried to bluff him for the Spirit Salamander Blood Essence Pill. However, as long as they cultivated the Blood Cavalry Kill Heart Sutra, he didn't need to worry about them betraying him.

These were twenty-eight hundred Grade 5 experts, all cultivating Blood Cavalry Kill, along with those Grade 6 Blood Cloud Cavalry Armor and Blood Cloud Halberds which were already totally repaired, their weaknesses fixed. The strength of the cavalry was far above eighteen months ago, those nine hundred common people were now mysterious dragon warriors!

As for the Dingxi Iron Cavalry under the Han King, they were all Grade 6 realm cultivators. However, without a suitable cavalry heart sutra, equipment, and armor, they weren't even worth mentioning.

In front of his Blood Cloud Cavalry, they would only be suppressed!
