731 Can We Flee Back? (1/2)

”Palace Head Wu Xu has already fallen? Zong Shou killed him on Yugang Mountain Peak? What a joke!”

”Are these words true? How?”

”Fifty Spirit Realm experts, three God Lord Incarnations along with one Mixed Essence One Energy Formation and they lost? Is this Zong Shou the reincarnation of that Ancient Chi King?”

”Even if he used the lives of forty Spirit Realm disciples to hold him hostage, how could Palace Head not block a single sword?”

Donglin Cloud Continent, above the Cloud Ocean. Many panicked emotions were spreading among the people.

Numerous Spirit Realm and hundreds of Grade-9 cultivators were all gathered here. Many people rushed over due to their curiosity. In just a moment, their faces were ashen white.

They were all in deep discussion and all of them panicked.

Zigui was among them and he felt giddiness such that he was about to faint.

He only felt that during these few days the Heavens were about to collapse.

He was the head of most of the cultivators here. However at this moment he was totally lost and didn't know what to do.

He prided himself for being intelligent but he really didn't know what to do now.

”What a Zong Shou, what a Blood Sword Monster Lord!”

Breaking into a laugh, his gaze slowly became clear.

He thought back to the words Kong Yao said not long ago.

Taoist Faction blood calamity, Master falling!

He didn't believe it but in just a few hours it all came true.

Their Taoist Faction didn't have many Spirit Realm cultivators.

Wu Xu's death was a deep pain in their hearts!

As expected from someone who was regarded on the same level as Zhongxuan. What he predicted was all correct.

There was also one sentence which flashed across his mind.

”...Who are you even, how can you even compare to a single toe of my husband?”

He originally thought he didn't care about it but when the Yugang Mountain news spread over, he felt a strong humiliation.

He was always confident that he could force Gantian Mountain into despair in a few months.

However in the end it seemed like he had become a laughing stock.

”Vast Habitat wants us to rush back there to stabilize the situation.”

Qingming held onto the sword and looked towards the east, at the rising sun. His gaze was indiscernible, who knew what he was thinking about.

”Zigui what are your intentions? We have to go back today. It is best if you make a decision quickly.”

Return?

Zigui's body straightened, his eyes flashed red, and his pupils were about to pop out of their sockets, ”If we return now what face will our Taoist Faction have left? If that Zong Shou wants to wipe us out then let's see who is first to give up! A general on the battlefield can't listen to orders. Only over ten Spirit Realm elders are left. If they dare to tell me what to do, I'll kill them with one strike!”

Qingming sighed. This was the first time he saw his good friend like that, nearly losing his rationality.

”Those words are true! That Zong Shou can't win us in a battle of attrition.”

The voice was really calm, his eyes filled with cold intent.

”Six hours ago Wangtian Sect was wiped out, Tianyuan Temple destroyed, and Floating Water Sect massacred. Close to a hundred twenty thousand people died today...”

Zigui was startled as he looked at Qingming, not knowing what he meant.

However the numbers behind it made him shocked.

This was Zong Shou's revenge. You kill my people, I will wipe out your sect...

”How much more is Daoling Vast Habitat going to lose before we can kill this demon?”

When he said that, Qingming slightly shook his head, ”Not to mention how they would not allow you to go alone. Even if they did, our morale can't be used.

You are good at the Art of War and don't need me to explain it to you right?”

Zigui was silent as he looked around. Only to see that the cultivators were either furious or anxious.

Some wanted revenge because their sects were wiped out by Zong Shou. Some wanted to rush back to the Vast Habitat to fight for the position of Head of the Vast Habitat.

Most of them were worried that their own sects would suffer under the hands of Zong Shou.

Their heart was already scattered and they had no more will to fight. Even if a few of them wanted to continue venting it in Donglin, they wouldn't have an easy time under the hands of Kong Yao.

Sighing, Zigui stood up, ”Then let's go back!”

Thinking about it for a moment before he said seriously, ”Best if we scatter! We definitely can't gather together.”

Qingming was startled and then comprehended his reasoning. Was he worried that Zong Shou would ambush them mid way?

In the next instance Zigui helped to clear his doubts, ”As compared to The Central Continent Sects, Zong Shou hates us more! We have to be wary...”

Qingming thought about it for a moment before nodding his head.

”Okay!”

A bitter intent flowed in his eyes.

At this moment, there were a hundred Spirit Realm cultivators here as well as five hundred Grade-9 ones.

Gathering their strength, apart from those few Vast Habitats, they were invincible.

However they might not be able to defend against Zong Shou's ambush. His sword techniques were highly skilled and his movement speed was extremely quick. It was said that he grasped many Space techniques and he also had the Royal Demon God Shuttle.

This place was a hundred thousand miles away from the Vast Habitat.

If he wanted to tie them down and fight using guerrilla, still less than fifty to sixty percent of them could return safely.

Unless they fought using a formation, that was the only way they could win.
