708 Hard To Survive Alone (1/2)

He didn't place down a chess piece for a long time. The Taoist who was smiling had a teasing expression in his eyes, ”Cultivator Xiyue, you seem uncertain, you weren't like this in the past. The black piece still has a chance of winning, however, if you are still distracted you will definitely lose.”

Xiyue hesitated slightly and then sighed, pushing away the chess board in front of him.

”Forget it! It has been tough to calm down these few days. Let's fight another day!”

The Taoist couldn't help but frown when he heard this, ”Is it regarding Donglin? I heard that you all also participated? Actually, Gantian Mountain is a barbaric land tens of thousands of miles away. Your Wenyi Temple is in the core area of the Central Continent. Even if you win, there are no benefits for you so why join in?”

”I obviously know that! I have no choice!”

Xiyue sighed, his expression filled with helplessness, ”Linya, you come from a Spiritual House Sect so you don't understand our hardships. Vast Habitat gave an order and if I don't follow and have problems in the future, who will help me? Moreover, those 10 spots to cultivate in the Vast Habitat are hugely important. All the sects are eyeing them aggressively, so how can I fall behind? Cultivation methods, tribulations at the Spirit Realm, so many matters need the help of the Vast Habitat. Moreover, it is like there are no benefits at all unless Gantian is wiped out, we can obtain some spiritual mines in Donglin...”

When he said this, his words were filled with anticipation.

Linya was stunned for a moment and laughed self mockingly, ”I have always been cultivating and occasionally found one or two friends to play chess with to discuss the Dao and to find joy. I know really little about such matters. However, in my eyes there isn't a need to worry so much. No matter how strong he is, he can't handle so many enemies. Wu Xu is so vicious, being so swift right as he acted, avoiding their strengths and attacking their weaknesses. In just three months, the foundations of Gantian Mountain will shake and the cities will revolt. Although the outcome isn't decided, our Taoist Faction losses should be very little...”

”Let's hope so!”

Xiyue laughed, he relaxed a little. Then, he frowned and looked at the stone table.

Suddenly, the chessboard and the surrounding tables and chairs were shaking slightly.

At the start, it wasn't apparent, but a few breaths later the slight trembling became intense shaking.

The entire building shook in all directions and the ground was also rising up and down.

The two of them both stood up, exchanged glances, their eyes both filled with shock.

Was there an earthquake?

Then, they realized it wasn't that. Linus's eyes turned serious, ”Sword Energy!”

Just two words, filled with both astonishment and fear!

The table in front of them turned into dust, silently spreading out.

Threads of Sword Energy shot out from within, going in and out of the building and feeling up this entire space.

Who knew when it had entered, instantly smashing the building into pieces!

The two of them didn't hesitate any longer, turning into lights and flying out.

There were numerous people flying in the air and silver light fell downward. Blood rain spurted and many corpses fell to the ground. Then, they turned into pieces of minced flesh.

Xiyue was stunned, his eyes turning red as he looked up, only to see someone standing in the air.

Bright gold robe, sixteen years of age and a green mirror hanging on his head. Behind his back were 30,000-foot lightning wings, covering the sky.

He recognized this person just as Xiyue was totally stunned.

”Zong Shou?”

Linya's body trembled.

He had already seen a portrait of him when his sword suppressed the Cloud World and he was unrivalled a year ago.

However, why was he here?

The Sword Energy crossed and intersected. With his Spiritual Senses, more and more people within Wenyi Temple died.

It was a massacre. At every moment, there were many people shredded by that Broken Sword Intent and they had no way of fighting back at all.

Slowly, Linya had a really bad feeling.

Wu Xu avoided the strengths of the enemy, but the Monster King wasn't waiting and doing nothing!

Although Wenyi Temple wasn't a Spiritual House Sect below them, their strength could be listed as above average.

They had 3 Grade-9 Experts. His friend Xiyue was even a Spirit Realm Expert. However, such a strong Sect couldn't even block Zong Shou for a short moment...

What about the other Sects under Daoling Vast Habitat?

The Taoist Faction didn't have as high a chance of winning as they thought!

At this moment, not only could Wu Xu not hurt his foundations, but it would even attract a huge calamity for the Taoist Faction.

”Ruler, please stop!”

Xiyue's face turned green as he flew into the air. Numerous jade stone-like chess pieces flew up. They shook in the air and turned into chess board-like Spiritual Formations. They went all out to block the Broken Sword Energy to protect the remaining disciples.

”How did Wenyi Temple offend the Ruler? To make you so angry to massacre hundreds of my disciples? I know you have problems with Daoling Vast Habitat, but how can you push it to us?”

He just needed four hours!

He didn't hope for Zong Shou to retreat, even stopping him for a short moment was good enough!

He just needed four hours and the surrounding Taoist Sects could come over to help. Within Daoling Vast Habitat, many would learn of the news and they could teleport dozens of Spirit Realm Experts over to kill Zong Shou.”

Linya didn't speak as a squarish spell altar appearing beneath him.
