695 Death Gates Have Opened (1/2)

After staying silent for a long while, Zong Shou looked around the stone tomb. There were many seals and restrictions that weren't supposed to be there, but they were all broken now. The Yin Death Energy was getting stronger, wave by wave, and charging everywhere.

Although Zong Shou didn't find it uncomfortable, he could feel that this Death Energy was controlled by a great strength and suppressing the very spot where he was standing.

Considerable evil was hidden within.

”Oh?”

After scoffing coldly, the Death Energy around Zong Shou surged back.

Without even needing him to attack, the moment the Evil Spirits got close, they were destroyed.

Looking calmly within, Zong Shou was unsure. A killing intent rose up within his chest which he suppressed.

In the end he sighed, turning around to walk out of the dark fog.

With his current cultivation, he could destroy the tomb with a flick of a finger. It wasn't purely because he was sentimental, but because he could feel that her tomb was being protected by two external powers within the Life and Death worlds.

It was extremely vast and also filled with death, but it was similar to that of Aokun.

He finally understood why Jin Buhui's Master and the few Haoxuan Sect Cultivators were forced back with injuries.

Although Zong Shou could use the Styx River Death Sword to directly strike the Netherworld and split both worlds, this method was extremely risky and wouldn't be a wise choice.

The moment he stepped out of the fog, he heard a faint laugh that came from off in the distance.

”The Ruler came so quickly!”

Looking out, he saw Suchen standing 10,000 feet away. There were also dozens of people beside him.

Some of them were people he was familiar with. On his left was Gong Xinran's Brother, Gong Yue.

Although he couldn't travel by stepping on air, he was a Double Cultivator and both were Grade-6 Realm. Using Magical Artifacts, he was able to fly in the air.

The other person was Chenhuai, who he had met on the trip to Dragon Gathering Mountain.

However, he paid the most attention to the dozens of teens who didn't make a sound.

They had an aura similar to True Martial Swordsmen, really sharp but their intents seemed to be merged into one. Their actions were all really similar.

Even though they looked different, they seemed like they came from the same model.

Seven of them had a seven section bamboo sewed onto it. They were most probably the Earth Grade Dao Soldiers of Hanshan Sect, Hanshan Swordsmen!

The other six all carried large swords and had bookworm auras around then. They were definitely Haoxuan Sect's Vast Qingxuan Warriors.

This Suchen and Chenhuai were both obviously not the main decision makers of the two sects.

In front of the each of them stood a Cultivator who bowed toward Zong Shou.

”Hanshan Bizhu greets Ruler!

”I have heard of Ruler's name for such a long time, but never had the chance to meet you. Haoxuan Bai Ruo greets you here! You have always helped my disciple Buhui and I am really grateful.

Zong Shou was startled, thinking to himself that this person was Jin Buhui's Master.

Similar to Bizhu, his aura was from the Spirit Realm.

He knew that these Vast Habitat and Shrine Heads all had great strength, but to protect the sect they suppressed it.

At this moment, with the Spiritual Wave rising, they had no need to do so.

Like Fangwen and Shui Lingbo of the Common People's Path. In this year, they both broke through to the Spirit Realm. It was the same for the heads of the Three Sects and Six Schools.

Especially Shui Lingbo who directly jumped to High Spirit Realm. She took over the position of Common People's Student Palace Head. Her foundations were very firm and no one could compete with her.

This was why when Zong Shou saw those two people he wasn't surprised at all.

He greeted them one by one in a humble manner and then asked curiously, ”I should be the one to ask what Brother Su just said. Hanshan and Haoxuan Sects are tens of thousands of miles away...”

Before he finished, Suchen shook his head and said, ”We already rushed over ten days ago. Senior Master Bai Ruo has sent Brother Chen over half a year ago to pay attention to this land. He predicted that the date when this Death Witch descends would be brought forward. As expected...”

Zong Shou was stunned once more and in his heart he instantly felt guilty. As the Ruler of a country, he actually didn't have as much knowledge about this land as the Haoxuan Sect which was tens of thousands of miles away.

As well as not having enough men in Gantian Mountain, this was also a matter that he had neglected.

At this moment, he felt that he did not have enough useable talent around him.

Although Zong Yuan was strong, he needed to use the strength of an army to fight against someone of the Spirit Realm.

The ten Grade-9 Experts he recruited were all quite talented.

At this moment, before the Spiritual Wave rose, there were a few who were showing signs of breaking through. However, they weren't of much just as yet.

Only the three Spirit Realm Experts of Fuling Sect could help him.

Although the sect was rebuilt, they relied on his strength and it was the same as if they were raised by Gantian Mountain.

Those three were all sitting in Gantian Mountain City.

”I feel guilty! As a Country Lord, I could only come here alone!”

Compared to him, the formation of the two sects were really luxurious. Thirteen Earth Grade Dao Soldiers and two sets of sword formations. Sects under the Spiritual House level couldn't compete with such strength.

”The Ruler is invincible on the Sword Path. In this world, who won't know about how you broke the True Martial Seven Part Sword Formation on Seven Cloud Mountain and how you killed Jia Mingluo? After that battle, you even blocked an army yourself. A year has passed and I think you alone could deal with all of us!”

The moment he said this, the people around had weird expressions, but none of them opposed.
