748 Let Me Die (2/2)
After another more than ten rounds, totally crushing Ruoshui and Yiren, Zong Shou was finally able to get out of the bed.
He didn't go into meditation, but instead exited Gantian Mountain and flew toward the south. He covered 2,000 miles in just a few minutes. An hour later, he was at Rainbow Port.
At this moment, the entire city was mourning.
Although Rainbow City was hit the earliest, it was also where the Taoist Faction focused their attacks on.
It was like they knew this was Gantian Mountain's most important port and thus they were really vicious.
1.6 million deaths, 10% of them came from Rainbow City.
Zong Shou hung in mid air and silently looked below.
He could see some people carrying coffins, who were heading out of the city to bury them.
Crying and sobbing sounds could be heard. Green veins popped up from his arms and his expression turned solemn.
During the few days that he returned, he would take time to head to the various disaster-struck regions.
Each time he went, he would regret what he did.
Those 100,000 Taoist Faction disciples were innocent, then how did his people offend them, what did they do?
He took in a deep breath to calm himself down. Zong Shou looked forward at the ruins.
There were some places that were totally leveled out by the Taoist Faction Cultivators.
At this moment, they were being rebuilt. The progress was decent with a portion that was already ready.
There were tents all over to house those refugees who had no homes.
There were also places where food and rice were distributed.
Just as he was feeling satisfied, his pupils constricted, only to see that Renbo was standing on the ruins and scolding some officials.
He didn't think about it, rushing right over to Renbo in a flash.
Renbo was startled and then smiled as he bowed toward Zong Shou, ”What a coincidence? Ruler came to scout the disaster region? I have already investigated. The officials here are honest. Your compensation and disaster relief has been passed down. Nothing has been left out and no one dares to be corrupt...”
Zong Shou's brow furrowed. His gaze was like a knife as he sized up Renbo. He spoke without giving any face at all, ”Old Man Ren, didn't I give you three months to rest? Why aren't you staying at home and instead running out here for?”
Renbo was startled and then started laughing, ”Ruler is worried about my injury? It was healed long ago. Kong Rui and Old Man Mingdan said that what I lost was internal essence and even if I ate lifespan pills, it would be useless. 42 years, each day that passes would be one less for me. I only think that it's too short, so why would I be willing to remain in bed!”
Zong Shou gritted his teeth and scoffed coldly as he waved his sleeves.
”Forget it! Do what you want!”
This person really didn't know his limits! Those lifespan pills were useless, even the Extreme Purple Pill he found couldn't do anything.
However, Xuanyuan Yiren had been in secluded meditation refining pills so as to find a way to save him.
He laughed like he was filled with joy.
”Actually, Ruler doesn't need to do this! I am glad that I am able to serve such a smart ruler. Even if I die, I have no regrets!”
He was really relaxed, ”Life is short and will definitely end. I know that, which is why I don't have many desires.”
