713 Heaven Shifting Earth Moving (2/2)
However, what placed them on a spot wasn't all this...
※※※※
Pretty much at the same time, at the Imperial Capital, Fenghua Hall.
Yinyu had a weird expression on his face as he looked at the document in his hand.
At noon, traveling 2,200 miles, wiping out Fashan Sect. None of the 3,000 disciples survived. 2 Spirit Realm experts fell...
At 1pm he arrived at Xiuling Mountain and wiped out Shuiming Sect. He broke this mountain with his sword and within 10 minutes, the Ten Thousand Water Kuiyuan Formation was forcefully broken open...
At 5:30 he wiped out Taoshan Temple. At 7 pm he travelled 3,000 miles to the east and wiped out Huiyun Sect...
He had read a lot of the news throughout the day, but it wasn't as detailed.
Each one recorded the number of deaths, approximate time and for some, one could even deduce the rough process of each battle.
The more he read, the more shocked he became.
”This kid actually had such ability? The ancient overlords were just like that...”
Tossing the documents, his eyes were filled with an indiscernible intent...
Although one could only imagine, one could still roughly guess how strong Zong Shou's Sword Path was...
”Speaking of which, there have been 23 sects?”
”24! A few minutes ago Pushan Temple was wiped out!”
Gaoruo bowed, saying calmly, ”This is a calamity for the Taoist Sect.”
”Calamity for the Taoist Sect? Just 60,000 disciples died, how could it be considered a calamity?”
Yinyu laughed, his tone was cold and then he asked curiously, ”Forget about those other sects. Xiuyun Sect has Celestial Realm Experts in the outer region. Daoling Vast Habitat also has many Celestial and God Realm Experts so why didn't they interfere? They have 10 Saint Realm Experts, how can Aokun restrict them all? Why does Zong Shou not fear anything at all?”
Gaoruo smiled awkwardly, unsure of how to reply.
Luckily Yinyu thought about the reason.
”That's right! Since he dares to be so bold, then he might have a precautionary measure! Even if he didn't, then Common People's Path and Sky Demon Vast Habitat would help him...”
Not thinking about the matter anymore, Yinyu asked, ”I don't think that Wu Xu can continue on as the Palace Head. Did he ask for help from Tailing and the other sects?”
”No!”
Gaoruo shook his head, ”However, Daoling Vast Habitat already has a plan. They want to gather many sects together to defend. Dozens of sects in the east have also started to set up the Heaven Shifting Earth Moving Formation.”
Yinyu laughed, he also knew that Daoling Vast Habitat wouldn't ask for help from Tailing Sect.
Those Taoist Factions feared them.
”It is in our own hands to not be defeated, but it is in the enemy's to give us a chance to beat him? Wu Xu really knows the Art of War!”
Gaoruo spoke with disdain, ”If he knew, he should have done this long ago!”
”This isn't his fault. If he wasn't forced into such a situation, would those other sects agree?”
Yinyu said as his lips curled, ”Moreover, once the formation is set up, it would be tough to remove in the future. These eastern sects would fall under Daoling Vast Habitat's control sooner or later. That is something those past Palace Heads couldn't imagine. Not only did those sects deflect, Tailing and Daoling both objected, each time successfully stopping it. If this matter could succeed in his hands, his position would be as stable as a mountain!”
Gaoruo was startled. That was really the case when he thought about it like that. He couldn't help but take in a deep cold breath.
”Which means that Wu Xu wants all this to happen...”
If he really did this on purpose, it meant that his intellect was really terrifying...
”That might not be the case! Who knew that Zong Shou would be so strong? To choose such a method? Turning the detrimental situation into an advantage, he could be considered very intelligent.”
Yinyu didn't care anymore and laughed, ”Anyways Zong Shou most probably lost this battle! If he retreats, it is still okay and if not, then he would most probably die! Our Great Shang doesn't need to interfere, just send someone to take a look...”
Hesitating slight, he said seriously, ”Try to let that scoundrel return to Gantian alive.”
When he said the word 'scoundrel', it was filled with hate.
Gaoruo understood and bowed once more.
Be it Taoist Faction or Gantian, they were both enemies of Great Shang.
It wasn't a good thing for the Taoist Faction.
The best case was if both sides could suffer heavy losses.
※※※※
Zong Shou stood quietly in mid-air.
The Sword Energy formed beneath him, drawing a several foot deep sword mark.
From above, there were 2 rows of words.
”25th... 56,422 people...”
He didn't ensure the carvings were nice, but it was still like a drawing. Each stroke, each word was like a sword with indescribable sharpness. It was also filled with endless violent killing intent!
Looking around, everywhere was covered in blood. The ground was dyed red, corpses all over. If one looked carefully, one could see that everyone here was killed in one strike and there was no more energy in their bodies.
At this moment, Zong Shou quietly looked at the sword in his hand as threads of blood-red vital energy circled around his body.
