620 Battle of Peng City (2/2)

However, locking down the souls of people who died, such matters interfered with how Heaven and Earth were run and he wouldn't do that.

Subconsciously he thought back to the Yin Flood Dragons in the Evil Spirit Moat.

In the past, he commanded the Blood Cloud Cavalry to wipe out many of them. At this time, he felt regretful.

When he was free in the future he would go capture dozens over. If they were too little he might head to Yin Dragon canyon to see whether he could have obtain anything.

He thought back to the million Qin soldiers that the Xiangchu Overlord killed, could that have been for the Avici Throne?

Then he shook his head, that was when Xiangchu Overlord wiped out Qin country, before he obtained the Avici Throne.

If that was really the case, there wouldn't be the Evil Spirit Moat near Gantian Mountain.

Retracting all these thoughts, Zong Shou thought about it and with a flash of his body he entered the Chongzheng hall.

Then, he took down that original Vermillion Dragon Carving Throne and placed the Avici Throne there.

This item wasn't suited to be hand-carried, it was better to be left in Gantian Mountain to repress the strength of the country.

Chongzheng hall was where Gantian Mountain meetings were held, where the King Energy was the thickest.

It was where Zong Shou's throne should be.

The moment the Avici Throne was placed there, he could feel the entire ground shake. The surrounding Spiritual Energy suddenly swelled and then constricted, extremely restless.

A full ten minutes passed before it calmed down. Looking around carefully, he didn't notice any changes.

He could feel that the Dragon Veins that Zong Han and the few others gathered here were all changing.

The Dragon Head rose, like it got closer a little to the direction of the Chongzheng hall.

Zong Shou was delighted, with this thing here, he just needed to bring hundreds of Yin Serpents to protect this place. In the future, he didn't need to worry about changes occurring in Gantian Mountain City.

Even if Great Shang attacked, with the Avici Throne and the Blood Cloud Cavalry, they would be able to hold out. They also didn't need to worry about the Shrine Sects.

Laughing out loud, Zong Shou was just about to leave, but in the next moment his mind jolted.

He thought to himself, this Avici Throne seems really comfortable and majestic so why shouldn't I try sitting on it?

He didn't think much about it as he sat down on the throne.

Then, he was jolted awake, a bright light exploding in his eyes.

What a devilish item, actually daring to charm his heart.

He instinctively wanted to create problems for the Artifact Spirit. However, moments later he realized that it wasn't right. What was projected in his mind didn't come from the Spirit but from deeper within the Artifact!

However, with his current cultivation he couldn't touch the deeper layers of the restrictions.

With a thought, the Illusionary Heart Mirror flew out from his Heaven and Earth bag. It flew behind his head and emitted waves of circular light.

This mirror not only formed illusions in one's mind but also defended against illusions. He wanted to see what was inside the Avici Throne.

However, in the next instant, an extremely strong vengeful intent surged into his mind.

The scenes in front of him changed!

It was still an illusion which he could destroy if he wanted to, using the mirror! However, at this moment he didn't stop it, allowing his thoughts to be brought in by the vengeful energy and grievances.

This was a world covered in blood light! The sky and earth was dark red in color. The sun shone down light with blood intent.

Zong Shou stood within and looked around. Then he squinted his eyes, only to see a giant iron cavalry standing quietly.

The aura was really quiet but it had a powerful strength that could stop one's heart.

In front of him stood one person. Riding on a close to twenty-foot tall fire Stepping Dragon Beast, its body covered in a layer of iron spikes. In his hand was a long halberd. His body was covered in a dark blue flame.

His pair of eyes were hidden behind the helmet, like that of a wolf, coldly focusing on him.

Xiang King?

The first thing that flashed in Zong Shou's head was the thought of this person. If it wasn't him, there wouldn't be such an overbearing aura.

Was this the vengeful soul locked within the Avici Throne after Xiang King died?

Looking around, he was standing on a broken city wall.

So it wasn't like he didn't have any troops under him. He actually had many hundreds of thousands of troops more than the Xiangchu Overlord.

A portion defended the city whilst a portion was sent on both sides to protect the wings.

Zong Shou was first filled with questions. However, moments later when he looked out at the flowing river, he had a thought.

...This is the battle of Peng City?
