531 There Seem To Be Changes (1/2)
”So this is why we have to kill him! In a few more years, it will be even more difficult to restrict him!”
Ling Weizi smiled, his brows furrowed as he looked below. ”Long Ruo, calm down a little, do you want them to laugh at us...”
Everyone present looked over as they heard those words, only to see that on the left, Long Ruo's eyes were red and his body was trembling slightly. He held his sword in his hand, veins bursting out. Killing intent leaked out of his body, and could be felt by the entire hall.
At this moment, Long Ruo came to his senses, and gave an apologetic smile. ”I am sorry, I was out of sorts! Our moment of retribution is about to arrive, and I didn't manage to suppress my emotions.”
The people in the hall all laughed, even Ling Weizi smiled.
If he was in the shoes of Long Ruo, he would be behaving the same way. There was nothing worth mocking him about.
”My disciple is probably the same too.”
Just as Yuankong said this, coincidentally, just Han Nishui headed towards him.
His expression was also different from usual, and he couldn't help but shake his head. ”Calm down and just wait quietly! At this moment, no matter what, that Zong Shou won't be able to escape from within our palms.”
He said to another person on the right, ”Cultivator Li, this time we will fully depend on you.”
When Han Nishui and Long Ruo heard this, their brows rose up and they looked over. It was an over twenty-year's-old youth. Although he had the name of Knife Lord Wuhui, his expression was easy to read, and revealed a thick bookworm aura.
Li Wuhui frowned. ”I will try my best. Since my master owed this favor, it is right that I return it. I only feel that this battle is a little unfair…”
Yuankong smiled but did not bother addressing the second half of his sentence. He wanted the elites of Gantian Mountain to die here, and to give his Heart Realm confidence that Li Wuhui would be able to claim Zong Shou's life.
If it really was a fair fight, with Zong Shou's ability of killing Cangming in the Dragon Hall, Li Wuhui might not be able to win. But if it was that Yuan Wushang…
He could not help but feel that it was a pity. Who knew what that person was thinking. Before they even started fighting, they had lost a grade-8.
If it was him, they could be at total ease.
At this moment, those in the elevated area exclaimed once more.
”People from Kongqi Sect, they actually rushed over. I remember that their sect leader is an intelligent person. Is he really crazy this time? Did he eat the guts of a leopard…”
Hearing that voice, the people did not need to look to know that it was the Daoming Sect elder, Wuyue. Since Cangming had died, this person was the second-in-command in the sect.
He had come over to view the battle, and for Gantian Mountain's Zong Shou.
Yuankong was also startled. Looking at the Cloud Light Illusion Mirror in the hall, as expected, thousands of spiritual lights descended and fell in front of the cavalry that was seventy thousand-strong.
And then, he felt a little uneasy. Kongqi Sect had wholly leaned towards Gantian Mountain half a year ago, but they had not made any big moves.
At that time, one could take it as normal behaviour, because they were afraid of the Donglin Sects targeting them for selling items to Gantian Mountain, and thus were unwilling to offend Gantian Mountain too badly.
However, at such a crucial moment they appeared here, which instantly caused one to be filled with many thoughts.
Since they knew it was a trap and that the Donglin Sects had schemed together for this, why was the head of Kongqi Sect foolishly jumping in?
Did he think that Gantian Mountain was going to win? How was that possible?
Han Nishui was also stunned, subconsciously thinking back to the words that Xuanyuan Yiren said before.
...do you all know that two years ago, Zong Shou made a deal with Kongqi Sect?
...I always felt that your Mysterious Cloud Sect really doesn't know how to spell the word 'death!'
At the start, he didn't think much of it, but now he felt his heart jump. Instinctively, he felt that those words were really important, and that they were the key to Kongqi Sect joining Gantian Mountain.
Just as he hesitated over whether to speak up, Yuankong smiled and stood. ”Let's not care about that. Since they want to die then let's just fulfil their wishes! Edan and Xundan have arrived so why not go welcome them? Although that person is about to die and create much strife between our sects, be it cultivation or ruling he is a talent. Let's witness his demise on the frontlines as a form of respect. Such a talent, what a waste…”

”What a spiritual house!”
At this moment beneath the mountain, Xuanyuan Tong was looking upwards in awe.
Spiritual houses and shrines were both naturally formed. They were spaces both in this world, and out of it. To a certain degree, they were even more complete than vast natural habitats.
That Mysterious Cloud spiritual house at the peak of the mountain was like a lone world.
Within the mountain, those Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect cultivators had brought over twenty-four dragon veins, and gathered them there for the low-grade disciples to cultivate with. Not only was the spiritual house stronger than that of Gantian Mountain, it was also not something Xuan Mountain City could compete with.
Looking out from afar, one could see five colourful spiritual clouds on the peak of the mountain, spiritual light shining brightly. This was a phenomenon formed in places with ample amounts of spiritual energy.
