Zong Shou had guessed if the person Sword Sect sent would be Suchen. He also guessed if they would recall Leidong from the outer region or just send any other elder.

He didn't expect them to send Feng Taiji.

”My Sword Sect treats this outer region expansion with much seriousness. Senior Brother Ruotao has been selected as the next Vast Habitat head. As such I can only come on behalf of him.”

Feng Taiji knew that Zong Shou would have such questions and just replied expressionlessly.

His tone showed that the Sword Sect placed heavy focus on two things! His position in the sect was still really high and it was to show their sincerity in all this.

However there weren't any other emotions, just calmly explaining. ”As for this Golden Scale Fire Lion we met it two months ago. We escaped to this place with much difficulty but it still chased us and tried to destroy our hiding spot. Thus a day ago Ruolan set up a trap. To first heavily injure it and then spend another half a day to kill it here.”

When Zong Shou heard those words he immediately felt a little guilty.

Two months ago should be when he was in Xuwang Ocean hiding from the attacks of the Instant Space Dragon Race.

Luckily nothing happened if not he would regret for the rest of his life.

He also felt that it was getting tougher and tougher to manage everything alone.

Luckily Shi Ruolan survived.

He caresses her head softly. This little brat didn't show any intentions of using such achievements to ask for rewards from him.

However she enjoyed Zong Shou's loving actions.

Outside the hall spread out a gentle and old voice, ”That is true! Miss Ruolan is able to command the ships like they are a part of her, be it her predictions or commanding, they are really amazing. She is the only one of such talent I have seen in my entire life! Ruler is really good at reading people, this time I feel much more confident expanding into the outer region!”

Zong Shou looked over towards where the voice came from only to see that the one who came was Ten Thousand Buddha Vast Habitat's Zifang.

He couldn't help but think that one out of Li Fengfei and the other two will be making a futile trip.

He shifted his eyes away and as expected he saw Jingyin.

Naturally Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan were following behind.

Those two were chosen by Common People Path to follow along which was why Zong Shou wasn't surprised.

In the next instance Zifang opened up with much difficulty, ”Days ago I got some news from the Cloud World. Ruler really took back a really amazing thing, putting me in a spot. I am afraid that once I get onto your ship it would be tough to get off it.”

When Zong Shou heard it, he instantly knew that Li Fengfei and the other two had returned back to the Cloud World.

That Xuwang Ocean was originally extremely close to the Cloud World, he spent much time on the way and also received instructions from Chen Yuexuan to grasp the formation, as such he wasted some time too.

His tracks weren't certain and he was also unable to get news from the Cloud World. Instead it was Zifang who got the news first.

Zong Shou laughed without bothering much, ”If Buddhist Faction doesn't want to you can choose not to join in. I won't force you, just don't leak the news.”

”Ruler is joking! Even if we don't want to join in we have to!”

Zifang shook his head, he had a weird expression as he spoke.

”If it was just acceleration of time and having a portion of the Instant Space Dragon Race abilities then it was still okay. However this thing even has the ability to delay tribulation. Even our Buddhist Faction rarely has such treasures. Ruler is offering such great terms, if we reject then we are really unreasonable. It should be the same for the Sword Sect right? Ruler don't worry, this treasure concerns the prosperity of the faction and we won't leak anything...”

At the start Zong Shou didn't bother but when he heard the second sentence his heart sank.

Delay tribulation?

He didn't know that the Universe Light Hall had such an ability!

Instantly his heart tensed up and he felt an intense pain. What a huge loss in this deal. If he knew that this was the case he should have asked for more benefits!

Now that the dust settled and the wood had already been made into a ship, it was too late for him to regret.

He could only smile with a really ugly expression on his face, ”Is that so, then that would be for the best...”

Feng Taiji didn't bother about his expression, opening his mouth once more to ask, ”Now that everyone is already gathered and everything is prepared, where is Ruler prepared to attack from? There are ten thousand worlds here. Apart from those barbaric worlds with low production most of them have rulers. This time be it Ruler or our three sects, we have to succeed. Ruler please make your decision carefully!”

Zong Shou took a deep breath, his face turning cold and serious.

Although Feng Taiji's words weren't nice to listen to and were a little cold, but he was right. They could only succeed and couldn't afford to fail.

Actually the best outer region world in his memory was the small world that Shiyue occupied at the start.

Not only did its production exceed Tianfang World by tens of times, there was also not much resistance within the world.

However this place probably already fell into that Shiyue's hands.

A few months ago he had fought with him and knew about how strong his country power was.

However at that time he was also at his most powerless and as such wasn't able to stop him.

Apart from that place there weren't many worlds that he could conquer and expand to around the Cloud World.

They either already had masters which made it hard to shake, needing them to pay a huge price, or they were extremely poor.

At this point Zong Shou remembered an area which had high production. It was a medium sized world with various mines within. They numbered pretty much ten times the number in the Cloud World before the Spiritual Wave.

There are many native races within which weren't wiped out. However most of the experts within were already killed.

However at this moment there were many powers who were in competition for it.

To take it down would take dozens and even hundreds of battles.

However this was the only place that Zong Shou felt was reliable and decent enough to become a Gantian territory.
