525 Jingyin Nun (2/2)

Breaking out into a laugh, Zong Shou gloated as he looked at Zhao Yanran. Who knew that this woman was so lucky.

Even if the decree didn't point to her, it was most probably related to her.

Zhao Yanran was really annoyed, impatiently staring back. Her gaze dared him to laugh out loud.

Zong Shou was delighted but he wasn't willing to provoke this crazy woman. Instead, he asked the teen, ”What is your name?”

When the teen heard it, she turned and looked at Zong Shou. A look of confusion appeared in her eyes before she said calmly, ”Ping. No! My name is Qingyin!”

”Qingyin?”

Zong Shou's heart moved, following which a lightbulb lit up in his head. He thought to himself, that it was actually her. No wonder she felt so familiar.

This should be when Qingyin was still young, as she looked like she wasn't even fifteen. However, even hundred years later, during the god emperor era, she was fairy Qingyin. Did she really return to common life? His mind was filled with questions, but he didn't think much about it.

In the next moment, Kongyao suddenly spoke up. ”How long is your highness prepared to lock me up for? I was rash last time. If you are willing to let me go, I will be filled with gratitude! I will be able to pay back three times what you lost!”

Zong Shou smiled and didn't reply.

Following which, Kongyao's brows rose up. ”To say something disrespectful, even today I don't have high hopes for you. The spiritual weapons and artifacts that Ruler brought could be hidden from the Thousand City alliance but not Lingyun Sect. Even if you keep me here, it won't do anything. I can swear I won't reveal anything. Within Great Shang I have some status. If news spreads back, his majesty would be furious. More enemies would be unfortunate with the current situation at Gantian Mountain...”

Zong Shou didn't show any signs of agreement. Actually, people from Great Shang had arrived two days ago. One grade 9 and three grade 8 cultivators.

If this were Gantian Mountian in the past, this formation would have been considered really strong, one that they would not have been able to block. They wanted to directly snatch her back, but then they realised there were eight grade 9 experts. They had rationally surrendered, and then decided to send ambassadors to engage in diplomacy. However, Renbo and Zong Ling had rejected them, and refused to meet them.

At this moment, apart from her sense of helplessness, Kongyao didn't understand what was going on.

Zhao Yanran scoffed. ”You really think he captured you so as to hide the news of the spiritual armors and weapons from the Donglin Sects?”

Kongyao was startled when she heard that, looking over in shock, only to see the girl who took over from Zong Zheng, who made her live a life worse than death smiling coldly.

”He wants them to think that those weapons are his trump cards! Do you understand now?”

When those words were said, Kongyao's expression changed, filled with fear and shock.

So Zong Shou wasn't hoping that by catching her, they would not find out about the items. He might even reveal the weapons to them himself. She had been trapped here for months as a trick and a misdirection.

She also felt really curious. If the spiritual armor and weapons weren't what he was really relying on then, what was his trump card?

Zong Shou was originally planning to enter his cultivation room to go into seclusion.

When he heard that, he stopped in his tracks, helplessly turning his head. ”You women are speaking too much!”

”Then I should also say that you are dark and vicious!”

Zhao Yanran shifted her head to the side, not exchanging glances with Zong Shou. ”You already have the ability to go up against the sects but you just don't want to make a sound. If it wasn't for me coming back to Gantian Mountain in advance, I really wouldn't know that you had such strength. To think Yunlan and I were worried for you! Ancient Wulie Country invincible cavalry have appeared once more. Are you preparing to wipe them all out? Only, I don't know if my Seven Spirit Sect can share the spoils...”

”Wulie Country? Ancient invincible iron cavalry?”

Kongyao muttered to herself, following which her pupils contracted. ”Blood cloud cavalry? Your Gantian Mountain has blood cloud cavalry? Impossible...”

Even if the cultivation methods and armor had all been all prepared, Gantian Mountain definitely could not gather up so many grade 5 martial creators.

”It's true! Not only did they reappear, they have no weakness. Two months later, there will be 4200 of them!”

Zhao Yanran glanced over, her face filled with deep meaning. ”So all the more reason we can't release you today...”

Zong Shou shook his head and stopped bothering to pay attention, stepping into the room. Now everything was prepared, and all that was left was for the war to start. However, there were still many things he had to do in these two months. About getting rid of the sword intent, he also had many comprehensions from the battle against Yuan Wushang. Much life potential had been forced out, and he needed to digest them...
