527 Asking to die (2/2)
Han Nishui held a talisman, deep in thought.
”So Pill Fountain Sect has already agreed?”
There were only two people within the hall. Apart from Han Nishui, there was a black-robed old man who sat on a soft mattress above. At the moment his eyes were half closed.
Only Mysterious Cloud Sect's leader, Yuankong, was allowed to sit there.
”That's right! Edan from Pill fountain Sect personally replied.”
”Edan? This person is the pill technique elder of the Pill Fountain Sect, his position is only lower than the sect leader. Why wasn't it Mingdan?”
”If it was Mingdan he would definitely not agree. But why does it have to be him?”
Yuankong smiled. ”Pill Fountain Sect has internal problems and is on the verge of chaos. A few of them want to send her over because they don't want her to interfere in sect matters.”
”The disciples actually do not care about that Xuanyuan Yiren...”
”I know! We only need to force that Zong Shou to fight!”
”Didn't that Yuan Wushang refuse, and even murder Lingyun Sect's Gengwei on the spot?”
”We found another person, Knife Ruler Li Wuhui. Although there are Six Pinnacle Swords in the Cloud World, there are two knife-users no weaker than Yuan Wushang and Jueyu. The Gantian army's morale is booming, it is filled with famous generals. Whilst the armies of the Thousand City Alliance are like a tray of scattered sand. There are risks. If we interfere it might cause the various sects, shrines and demon sects to interfere as well. Why not lure him out, and kill the Gantian Mountain soldiers beneath our Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect Mountain?”
Seeing Han Nishui frown, Yuankong smiled and said, ”Don't worry! You already know the situation. Do you think that Zong Shou has the ability to overturn Heaven and Earth? You don't have to worry about dragon shadow either. Not only did that person from the Lingyun Sect return, our Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect's great senior master also rushed back. If he dares appear, he might lose the few decades of life he still has. The situation two years ago at Dragon Gathering Mountain won't be repeated...”
The moment the words ”Dragon Gathering Mountain” entered his ears, his eyes subconsciously showed rage and hatred. At this moment, he was also unwilling to hide it from Yuankong.
Two years had passed, but not only were the anger and hatred alive and well, but as time went on, the feelings became thicker and thicker and built up in his chest and did not fade. It bit at the meat of his heart.
He didn't care about Xuanyuan Yiren, and even hated her. Every time he thought back, the humiliation from two years ago kept him from sleep at night.
Taking a deep breath, Han Nishui bent down and said seriously, ”This disciple will follow master's orders!”
His eyes were filled with gratefulness.
The humiliation from two years prior. This time, he would personally return it to Zong Shou!
The grievance between the two started because of this marriage. In the end, his physical body was torn apart, and he lost all of his status.
This time, he was going to marry Xuanyuan Yiren in front of Zong Shou's face.
To make that kid feel the pain of his heart burning every day. No! That person probably wouldn't be able to feel such emotions, how lucky he was...
Yuankong picked up on Han Nishui's change in expression. He closed his eyes and sighed, ”You dumb kid! It was because of me that you were humiliated two years ago. I, your master, have been feeling guilty about it. If I could help you solve this grievance then it would be for the best...”

East of Donglin Cloud Continent, within that Longxiang City.
Longxiang City lord Yangfan held a talisman, his expression in flux.
”It finally came? Oh? Order Longxiang City to choose elites, gather them, and head to Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect. Have Xiong Yu as the commander, lead her troops to approach Gantian Mountain from the West. Hehe, excellent...”
Although he was laughing softly, his eyes were filled with cold intent.
The Lingyun Sect still did not trust him.
To kill Zong Shou beneath Gantian Mountain was a difficult task. At most, after this the Donglin sects would bestow some benefits if they succeeded.
On the side of Xiong Yu, attacking cities had many benefits.
They weren't willing to see his Longxiang Mountain's influence grow.
Following which, Yangfan stopped caring about this matter. Their reactions were in line with what he had expected.
If Lingyun Sect really trusted him, then he would have cause to be wary.
This time, getting rid of Gantian Mountain, which had the potential to unify Donglin, he was already satisfied.
”Zong Shou!”
He clenched his fists. Filled with hatred, the name was spoken word by word through the gaps of his clenched teeth.
He remembered the time two years ago, when his maidservant whom he had grown up with, died under that ruoshui's sword.
Now, everything would come to an end.
A thought rose as he took up another talisman. He was slightly confused, why Zong Shou had done so much to recruit so many grade 9 cultivators.
Was it merely to send them to their deaths?
Because they would not be much of a problem.
