837 Watch You Struggle (2/2)

”It is best if you consider this matter. If Cultivator Hong wins, you have no chance of winning. However, if he loses, you might be able to occupy the central region, having a chance to unify Yuanlian World. When that happens, would you still need to worry that Xuanling Guild won't fully support you?”

Seeing that Mufang's face was still frozen, unable to speak, Zong Shou just smiled. He didn't rush him anymore. He knew that Mufang was actually already tempted and to rush him any further might just backfire instead.

He didn't even say goodbye, he just stepped into the air and left.

To make use of diplomatic measures was a great solution.

This time even if the Yuanlian World sides worked together, they weren't totally united as they doubted one another. There was definitely various conflicts between one another.

Amongst this, there might be a chance for him to strike. When things went well, everything could be hidden and covered up.

However, if they faced any problems, conflicts and disagreements would explode out. Today, he just increased this chance to an even larger possibility.

He sighed. He didn't have a useful strategist in his hand. As such, he had to personally engage in diplomatic thoughts.

The standard was really lacking. He felt really ashamed about this.

He stepped in the air and traveled. Just as he was less than 3,000 miles away, he suddenly felt a gaze focus down on him. It was extremely cold and filled with mocking intent.

”Interesting! I would like to watch you struggle...”

A cold few words before the intent was retracted.

Zong Shou's brow rose up, his body fixed in the air.

”That person is Hong Jiuchen? His ability is really not bad, much stronger than before. There seems to be another person. Tanfang? As expected, those two joined hands?”

Zong Shou broke into a laugh. With the strength of Tianfang Guild they didn't have the rights to fight for this Yuanlian World. They could only choose a side to support and try to get some benefits.

Looking at the situation, did they really think that he had fallen into their trap?

Following this, Zong Shou didn't head to any other region. He just shot out several message talismans all around before heading right back to the Yuanjing Palace.

Such methods should only be used once. If he used them too many times, they would no longer be effective.

There were many explanations for his meeting with Mufang. Maybe he failed and returned and gave up on persuading the others. Maybe there was a second possibility, which was that they came to an agreement, so there was no point in speaking to anyone else?

What was fake might be real, what might seem real might be fake...

To confirm whether or not Mufang and Xuanling Guild were planning on stabbing them in the back, Nine Capital Celestial Court probably had to wrack their brains.

After returning to Yuanjing Palace, Zong Shou started his secluded meditation.

He stopped worrying about all outside matters. He focused on cultivation, crafting the Sword Formation. As expected, he handed all war matters to Zhuang Fan.

He only personally managed those 300,000 Elites to occupy several core areas.

If Zhuang Fan won, these few areas would be able to chase for the victory easily. If he lost, they would still be able to defend, falling back to the worst scenario.

At least they could protect their land and plan for the future.

Actually, he had no choice but to not worry about such matters.

He did what he should have done. Anything else wouldn't have been of much effect.

Now, he could only see whether or not Zhuang Yu would disappoint him.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he ended up on his back foot in such a manner.
