Chapter 1060 - No Choice But To Battle (2/2)

The Lanka Buddha also came to meet Zong Shou at the Jiuchi Palace.

“These twenty thousand will temporarily serve you. It’s not because you are our Future Buddha, but because of our alliance. An ally is in trouble so we naturally have to help. Apart from this, it also interferes with the battle of the six factions, I hope that Ruler doesn’t misunderstand and doesn’t bother about it too much.”

“Then, I thank you. Your Faction’s help in our times of need is something I will remember to heart.”

Zong Shou laughed, he was really grateful to the Buddhist Faction, especially Lanka Buddha.

If these twenty thousand came because he was the Future Buddha, then no matter what, he would have chased them away.

However, since it was because they were allies, then he would be at ease making use of them. He would instead feel like he owed the Buddhist Faction something.

After Lanka Buddha said this, he frowned. He looked at the luxurious surroundings and wine forest. Within the garden, there were all sorts of treasures and beasts, any servant within here was a top beauty outside.

“This Lanka doesn’t understand, the Min River has tens of thousands dying. Why does Ruler still have the mind to enjoy and feast here?”

Zong Shou was really helpless, how was he willing to do so? However, he had to answer this question, he casually said, “In my eyes, color is no different from emptiness, emptiness is no different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color…”

He didn’t refer to beauty, but everything that one could see or not. These things were like illusions, space, it was the physical form of things.

In other words, what Lanka Buddha saw might not be real and it was just on the surface.

Lanka’s body shook as he looked right at Zong Shou, the burning eyes he saw were shocking. He bowed solemnly. “Ruler really is fated with our Buddhist Faction. I am enlightened! If I can achieve things in the future, it would truly be due to your words.”

Zong Shou was shocked, these words came from the Buddhist Faction from a scripture known as Heart Sutra.

Did the Buddhist Faction not have that scripture now?

Sword Sect Lingchen was also at the side, he didn’t know what was going on between the two. However, he also looked at the extremely luxurious palace.

He really suspected if Zong Shou was truly a Saint Ruler, the master of a Qilin.

Did Ruohua see it wrongly?

Since the two of them were cultivators, they wouldn’t be able to stay in such a place with so many beauties and distractions. After meeting with Zong Shou, they hurriedly left.

After the two left, another person appeared. It was Zhang Huai.

Based on what this person said, all resources and grain were prepared aptly. They were split into safe locations and were enough to last ten years. At this moment, he was very free and didn’t want to miss the battle, this was why he came over.

“I heard that Emperor Yuanchen is at the north of Min River repairing ships. There are hundreds of God Realm cultivators prepared to use spells and send their Five Tooth Cloud Ships over to Min River.

Zong Shou’s lips curled. Great Shang was prepared to create a navy at Min River.

However, it still took time to build ships and it wasn’t easy to move ready built ones. The Common People’s Path, Sword Sect, and Buddhist Faction wouldn’t just let it happen. Even Great Gan had many helpers.

Great Shang didn’t have so much time to waste.

“I checked the tax income of Huizhou and South Wind Cloud Continent, and noticed that there were always some money that disappeared. With Renbo there, he actually didn’t question it. Can you tell me why?”

“I knew it couldn’t be hidden from Ruler!”

Zhang Huai smiled, he took the money to Great Shang to buy grain.

Great Shang had at least twenty percent of their grain each year that was taken by Great Gan, and they even emptied several granaries of Great Shang and their vassal states.

Great Gan by itself didn’t lack food and was really rich.

“So, I think that Emperor Yuanchen noticed his granaries are empty and can only provide for three months.”

“So these shipyards are just bait?”

Zong Shou could hear the mocking intent within. He was blocked at the north of Min River, unable to cross, and then their grain provisions faced problems.

To Great Shang, apart from ending it quickly, they had no other method.

In other words, the day he waited for wouldn’t exceed ten.

He shook his head as his tone changed. “Concubine Yao definitely wouldn’t have thought of this, was it your idea?’

Zhang Huai felt slightly awkward as he bowed apologetically.

Zong Shou scoffed coldly and then his expression changed. He reached out and pulled Chuxue into his arms.

He kissed her lips as his other hand reached deep into her arms.

She exclaimed and quietened down. She felt a cold spiritual sense reach in her.
