530 How to Spell Death (1/2)

Guanxue City was located northeast of Donglin Cloud Continent. It was an ordinary-looking, medium sized country, which spanned roughly 2000 miles.

It stood in a secluded area and did not cross any important paths. The land could only be considered poor and desolate. Even higher grade beasts weren't interested, and there were only a few of them. However, as it was not far away from Mysterious Cloud Mountain, this place was always really peaceful.

Even the city lord himself was a nominal disciple of the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect.

Compared to other places which were filled with war, this place was a little poorer, but it was like a paradise away from the world.

This was why there were five to six million people gathered in such a poor land.

However, on this day, its near-thousand-year-peace was finally broken.

First came a rumbling sound which spread from the distance. Following that, even the air started to shake.

Those soldiers who became relaxed after being used to peace for too long were shocked, but it was not only them.

Even the upper members of the city dashed to the walls like their lives depended on it.

A few moments later, a Black Suppressive Cloud surged from the horizon towards this direction.

There were obviously spirit masters who were using illusionary techniques to conceal what was going on. However, it was also obvious that there were numerous cavalrymen who were travelling swiftly within.

The people on the city walls felt their hearts turn cold. When the wave was close, grade-6 and above spirit masters used eye spells to look, and they sucked in a deep cold breath!

”Where is this cavalry from? Seventy thousand of them, and they are at least at the Mythic Master Realm. What strong vital energy glow! There are at least eight thousand Xiantian experts…”

”Not only that! I think there might even be fifteen thousand of them. Their mounts are actually all windrider foals. What a strong army! That flag seems familiar... Gan word and Zong word, is it that Monster King from Gantian Mountain? What a strong aura!”

Pretty much everyone's faces were ashen white, devoid of all blood. Not until they saw that the Black Suppressive Cloud did not attack the city, but instead move past it, did they heave sighs of relief.

Following which, they were shocked and filled with confusion.

”Looking at the direction, are they going to Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect?”

”I remember Gantian Mountain and Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect are enemies. Is that Monster King crazy? To rush over there at this moment, is he searching for death?”

”Speaking of which, yesterday the city lord received an invitation. He said that three days later, Han Nishui and Pill Fountain Sect's Xuanyuan Yiren will marry. Is it because of that matter?”

”That Monster King most probably came for that reason. It happened once two years ago. Getting snatched before marriage, how could Zong Shou bear with it? How unfortunate. Actually if that Monster King could bear the anger, he might be able to form a legacy. This time, he is going to suffer a heavy loss…”

”Pah! What an aura! So few troops, and he dares to go to Mysterious Cloud Mountain. He really doesn't want his life!”

At the same time, at the high ground of Guanxue City, within that cloud layer, there were two people who were looking at that black cloud, speaking expressionlessly.

”Not bad! To actually have such strength. Seventy thousand elite cavalry, at least seventeen thousand are Xiantian. All the armor and weapons are actually grade-2 and above spiritual artifacts. They are actually much stronger than I expected.”

The one who spoke was Edan, his eyes filled with shock. At this moment they were ten thousand feet above, and could see a little more clearly.

They could see the entire situation, including millions of troops around Mysterious Cloud Mountain, arranged over two hundred miles away.

They just camped there, and did not bother to hide. Like a giant claw, waiting for their prey to fall in.

In front of Mysterious Cloud Mountain, there were three hundred thousand elites who waited solemnly. They were true elites, all above Mythic Master Grade, and all had spiritual weapons and armor.

They split into thirty formations and lined up in front of the mountain. They were like boulders and mountains, which made one doubt whether there was anything in this world that could shake them!

”Against such elites, the more that they send, the worse that Gantian Mountain will lose. Just this battle alone, they will suffer heavy losses. Seventeen thousand Xiantian, so what if this number could compare to the first six shrines? This Gantian Monster King is intelligent and scheming, but unfortunately he couldn't bear with it. He knew it was a trap but actually dared to shove his head in. However that is also good. At least this matter can be totally resolved…”

Whilst Edan spoke, she looked down in deep thought, at the center of the black cloud.

”I actually can't see throught the cloud using my spells.”

”It should be Mingdou and Liehe!”

Xundan thought back for a moment, and his brows furrowed. ”In my memory, Edan once fought with Mingdou and almost died. The two of them are the remaining members of Fuling Sect. A hundred years ago, they were grandmasters of the Talisman Path. In the battle twenty years ago, they could fight one versus four, and even could escape safely afterwards. Xundan and Edan were also injured from that battle. Who would know after twenty years of not seeing them, that their realm actually hadn't fallen, and their spiritual cultivation would get even stronger.”

Although they were talking about their past experiences, with the way he spoke, Xundan made it sound like he was not talking about himself.

Even Edan was not bothered. ”This Monster King probably doesn't only have such methods, he is probably hiding something.”

”He is just acting!”

Xundan didn't think much about it, and smiled. ”Those senior brothers think that Zong Shou can win this battle?”

”That's true!”
