647 Great Death Restriction (2/2)

This was why they not only needed to end this battle outside the borders, they also had to be quick.

Kong Yao was silent as she stared at Zong Shou, before turning her head away.

She thought to herself, What would His Majesty do if it were Great Shang?

He knew that the best way to win against the Night Demon race was to fight on Donglin land, but instead he was willing to take the risk to decide things at Huizhou.

She really didn't know what to say about this person.

He wasn't willing to let his people suffer from the chaos of war?

Jingyin lifted her head again, her eyes shining. Her expression was filled with respect. ”Ruler is so kind, no wonder the millions under Gantian love you so much.”

In the past, she praised Zong Shou just because everyone was doing so. Today however, her words were truly sincere.

Only Zhao Yanran who could read his dark thoughts was laughing to herself.

This fellow merely couldn't bear to lose money!

Zong Shou maintained his smile as he felt the energy within his body recover.

Then he drove the Royal Demon God Shuttle forwards.

The Royal Demon God Shuttle was famous for the name 'Royal Demon.' Its strength wasn't swift travel, but durability, which was why Gods and Demons both avoided it.

It had taken no damage during the recent battle with Prince Jia Mingluo.

However, as there were several million kilograms of wood within, its speed was naturally reduced by several times.

Slowly and leisurely, the shuttle flew through the clouds.

When they were in the space layer, there wasn't any concept of weight, which was why they weren't affected. Now that they were in the Cloud World, they were crawling at the pace of a tortoise.

Zong Shou was unbothered by their slow progress, but Zhao Yanran couldn't take it. Along the way, she saw several Grade Seven Lightning Crane Super Carriages fly past them.

Those Lightning Cranes were swift, a little faster than Grade Nine cultivators. Not long ago, the Grand Demon God Shuttle could have ditch them a thousand miles back in a breath, but now it was the other way around.

Even if she wished to speed up, it was impossible to dispose of the wooden pieces.

Just as she was about to mock Zong Shou, her heart changed as she made a realization. ”This is the direction towards Lianyun Island. Are you going back to take a look?”

There was total silence in the shuttle.

Zong Shou wasn't the only one who had heard what that Prince Jia Mingluo said.

Using the million souls to seal the world?

Were those words true or false?

Zong Shou looked towards Kong Yao with a questioning gaze.

”There is indeed such a secret technique!” She said in answer.

Kong Yao thought back to the past. ”My Kong Family passed it down for many generations. I have seen it before, and it is called the Great Death Restriction Formation. During the Cloud Desolate Era, before the Battle of Wenshan there were ten thousand Grade Nine cultivators who used this formation to stop an alien army, sacrificing themselves to seal up a part of space for three years...”

Zong Shou's face froze in shock. Only a family with long history like them could possess such a technique.

He definitely couldn't find it in the library in the future.

He also knew that the Battle of Wenshan was one of the most important battles during the Three Saint Emperor Era.

The rise of the Human race started in that era.

He knew that the battle was one that had covered the land in corpses, creating casualties numbering tens of millions.

However, when he heard Kong Yao's description, he was still shocked at the scale of the technique!

Grade Nine cultivators could be considered the pillar of a sect. To sacrifice so many at once…

”The Cloud World can't bring out ten thousand Grade Nine cultivators as sacrifice. Which means that Weihai is using ten million souls as a replacement?”

After he said this, Zong Shou couldn't help but exhale.

He was at a total loss, not knowing if he was in a suitable state of mind to be driving the flying shuttle.

What should he do if it was really as Prince Jia Mingluo said?

Save them? He wasn't so kind...

Those people were pitiful, but they weren't under his rule. So what business did he have?

He would have to start a conflict with those three Huizhou Taoist Sects and Weihai if he wanted to save them.

Even before the Night Demon race arrived, they would be at war.

It would cause more Huizhou civilians to be suffer. It would also endanger the Gantian army.

So what could he do even if he went?

Was he going to confirm the effects of that formation?

Zong Shou's mind wandered off as he pondered the problem before him.
