605 Return To The City Shocking Change (1/2)

After leaving Yin Dragon Canyon, Zong Shou directly abandoned those eighty thousand elite troops. He only led the four thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry, to travel light and swift. Four thousand miles, with the speed of a Grade Four Dragon horn-winged horse would take just a day and they would already see the tall Gantian Mountain.

However, when Zong Shou crossed the Evil Spirit Moat and Zhenshan Pass, arriving beneath the Gantian Mountain City walls, he stopped the horses. The entire cavalry force suddenly stopped.

Four thousand blood cavalry moved like one. Following this, he squinted his eyes and looked toward the city in the distance.

It was boisterous and prosperous, like tens of days ago when he left. However, his giant city seemed a little inharmonious now.

\”What a thick demon atmosphere! It really is the Eight Tail Xue Family!\”

Zong Fei scoffed softly. This time he had followed Zong Shou over to Yin Dragon canyon and he took charge of that area, which was why he avoided the coup within Gantian Mountain.

However, he was also one of the latest to know about the arrival of the Xue Family.

At this moment, his face was filled with rage, yet also looking a little excited. He would glance at the teen looking ahead and his heart didn't feel any worry. Instead he felt boundless joy.

Nine tail! His junior, the current race leader of the Zong Family actually had Nine Tail Sky Fox blood!

He originally didn't know, he only knew that his bloodline had changed a little and had actually jumped into the Eight Tail level.

However, the moment he stood together with Zong Shou once more, this feeling became really clear.

The connection and pressure which came from the bloodline caused his heart to tremble.

What he felt couldn't be described by words.

The current Zong Shou was the undoubted Monster King of their fox race.

Zong Shou didn't say a word, carefully sizing up the situation. His gaze swept across the city walls, only to see that the soldiers appeared the same as usual. They looked no different at all except for some things he noticed abnormalities.

As compared to the elite troops under him, they were even more elite. They had been through numerous cruel wars, possessed a thick killing aura and also appeared extremely strong.

This was far from what the Gantian Mountain soldiers could achieve...

The number of Xiantian experts were just slightly more than that of Gantian Mountain. However, if both sides fought, three towns from Gantian Mountain couldn't even defeat one from the opponent.

These were the race soldiers of the Xue Family? It seemed like the fox imperial race members didn't have much of a better time as compared to those who remained in the Cloud World.

Such elite troops couldn't be trained unless they had gone through numerous battles.

No wonder the Xue Family dared to plot against Gantian Mountain with just 200 thousand people. They were also confident that after he died they could suppress the Donglin Cities who had just surrendered. They did in fact have the ability...

Apart from that, there seemed to be arrangements that specifically targeted the Blood Cloud Cavalry.

Several breaths later the people in the city seemed to have been finally awakened. There was immediately some movement on the city walls, following which the tightly shut central gate opened outwards to both sides with a creaking sound.

Close to ten thousand soldiers stepped out in an orderly manner to welcome them, following which they bowed on both sides. This was the custom to welcome the arrival of the ruler of a country.

Zong Shou looked toward the soldiers who were bowing on the ground with a deep look. Then he smiled and led the horse forwards.

\”Enter the city!\”

With just one order given, four thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry all called out to their mounts. In an orderly manner they all followed Zong Shou into the city.

After the city gates was the outer city. However, Zong Shou arrived before the second gates.

He saw a male dressed in a civil servant costume walk in front of him and bow, \”Ruler! It is already noon, the city is really busy. Riding a horse on the streets is a little inappropriate. If we forcefully chase away the people it might affect the ruler's name. Ruler please proceed forward, I have already prepared the carriage.\”

Zong Shou smiled, he could already sense the dangerous auras spreading from the city walls around the outer city.

Who knew how many strong bows and large crossbows were hidden there.

Were they prepared to spring the trap? To let him abandon the Blood Cloud Cavalry here... Was this the Xue Family's plan to wipe out the Blood Cloud Cavalry?

Who knew what that person would say when he returned.

These thoughts arose in his mind but he just smiled, looking deeply at the teen civil servant in front of him.

\”Do I need you to teach me how to stop and how to travel? Today I want to lead my Blood Cloud Cavalry in, what can you do?\”

That teen civil servant seemed to be lost, just as he frowned and was about to persuade him.

However, Zong Shou wasn't willing to speak anymore with that person and he casually slashed out with his sword and instantly, a head was tossed up amidst a blood splatter.

Just as the person was beheaded, Yin Yang and Zong Yuan's brows both furrowed.

After noticing the aura behind the four walls of the outer city, they became more and more restless.

It was silent for a moment before the two city gates also started to shut with a creaking sound.

Zong Yuan scoffed coldly, a halberd flew out, gathering his intent and he was connected to the energy networks of four thousand people.

Blood sprayed and there was a loud explosion. That blood-colored short halberd instantly broke a small half of the copper giant wood crafted city gate.

However, when the gate cracked, there were balls of spiritual light that spread around. They swept through the sky, crisscrossing in dozens of layers to form a shield.
