523 Silverlight Spirit Shield (1/2)

”Ruler, this person is Donglin cultivator Ling Xueyun! He lives nearby. I followed your orders to invite grade cultivators to join our Gantian Mountain, which is why I had the opportunity to witness Your Highness battle once more. My congratulations for beating Yuan Wushang! Of the Six Pinnacle Swords of the Cloud Continent, you are now the strongest.”

Zong Shou's brows rose up. Thinking back, he had indeed sent out the talisman to order Gantian Mountian's officials to recruit grade-9 cultivators into Gantian Mountain.

However, he didn't expect that Renbo would allow Xu Zhengyuan, who had a sensitive identity, to take part as well.

Thinking about it seriously, Zong Shou knew the game Renbo was playing. He wanted to make Xu Zhengyuan relax. What Renbo didn't know was the full situation with Cloud Saint City.

However since this spiritual grandmaster had personally witnessed his sword battle against Yuan Wushang, naturally he could not let him go.

”You name is Ling Xueyun, and you live nearby?”

Seeing that old man bow in assent, Zong Shou's eyes narrowed slightly. ”So are you willing to join my Gantian Mountain?”

Ling Xueyun hesitated slightly, raising his head and looking at Zong Shou, and he sighed. Lingyun Sect had spent so much effort plotting to borrow Yuan Wushang's sword to kill him.

Who knew that the head of the Six Pinnacle Swords would lose to Zong Shou the moment he retuned to the Cloud World.

347 slices in total, and he had been defeated so cleanly!

The look that the Gantian Monster King tossed in his direction also made his hair stand on end.

It neither an interrogative nor curious look, and he was not asking him or treating him as an equal. He was looking down on him!

He was underestimating him, looking down on him like one who looks down on someone whose life is in their hands.

Ling Xueyun made no protest. With this person's power, he indeed had the ability to look down on all things.

However, he didn't want to agree just like that. Ling Xueyun bowed and asked instead.

”If I refuse, what would Your Highness do?”

Zong Shou palmed his sword and smiled, following which he said simply, ”Kill!”

Ling Xueyun's body stopped, and cold sweat beaded on his face. At this moment, he felt that the killing intent of this kid was even higher than when he had beaten Yuan Wushang. His cold gaze was fixed on his neck.

He was definitely not joking. If he really dared to say no, this Gantian Mountain King, this fresh-from-the-oven head of the Six Pinnacle Swords would slice his head off with a sword.

The person in front of him did indeed have the right!

A bitter expression appeared on his face, and Ling Xueyun's voice was hoarse, ”Please allow me to work for Your Highness!”

In truth, he had known long ago that he refusal was not an option.

※※※※

Sixteen hours later, they had moved to the cave that Ling Xueyun lived in.

This place was much stronger than that small island which Fuling Sect lived on. It was said that Ling Xueyun spent several years gathering two large-sized dragon veins in this land.

There was also no need to share with others, which was why although he was grade-9, he was still able to improve his cultivation every year.

After tens of years of management, Ling Xueyun had even arranged a medium-sized spiritual formation outside, guarding this cave tightly.

When Zong Shou woke from his meditation, a large part of his energy had been recovered.

The outer injuries on his body were mostly healed. However, a portion of them, due to Yuan Wushang's sword intent, he was unable to get rid of. As such, he could only leave them to slowly recover.

Next would be his internal injuries which were also quite severe. Luckily, his minor and major organs were not ruptured.

Actually, when he had entered the meditative state, Zong Shou spent most of the time researching and studying the world-shocking yin yang true qi in his body.

Since his battle against Yuan Wushang, the internal energy flowing in two of his chakra meridians had started to become connected with his soul power.

Between them there was no disharmony, and it was as though they could be switched with one another entirely.

However, the weaknesses of this world-shocking spirit art were becoming more and more apparent.

As expected nothing could be born with only one aspect...

Zong Shou sighed in his heart. This was why his gaze was a little weird when he woke up. Looking at the few women waiting in the room, there was a green light that flashed in the depths of his pupils.

Ruoshui—a virgin, pure yin body, a great source of replenishment!

Chuxue—a virgin, combat martial body, pure heart, thick yin energy, also a great source of replenishment!

Feihan—also a virgin, with Xue'er's extremely pure personality, human body dragon blood, also huge potential for replenishment!

Ye Feishuang—forget about it, that was impossible.

As he looked around, Zong Shou came back to his senses and felt as though he were becoming more and more like a monster.

Ye Feishuang felt a chill, being looked at by Zong Shou. She had goosebumps.

Only after the green light was retracted did she feel slightly better. However, for some reason, she felt a little annoyed. Subconsciously, she felt that she needed to pull her sister away, and to get as far as possible from this little fellow. She decisively said, ”Since you have woken up, you are probably fine. Feihan and I will take our leave!”
