Chapter 1079 (1/2)
“That person still won the Battle of the South in the end!”
Outside Lingyun Palace, Zu Renkuang stood above the clouds with his hands by his side, he looked at the stars in the sky calmly.
The battle that decided the life and death of the Great Gan, the prosperity and the fall of the six factions was something that all factions naturally paid attention to.
Many experts were sent to monitor the situation. This was why when the sixty thousand Purple Qilin’s Flame Spear Cavalry were wiped out, the Lingyun Sect had already gotten the news.
“He’s actually the Saint Ruler and has a Qilin by his side…”
Yan Feibai’s eyes were filled with shock, which still hadn’t faded. He turned around and looked behind him, his eyes were filled with great fortune.
Zong Shou was deemed as the enemy of the Confucians, and also had a blood debt with the Taoist Faction, such that anyone in the world could attack him without repercussions.
A few years ago, close to half of the Lingyun Sect disciples died to the Blood Cloud Cavalry. This hatred was something that was tough to forget.
All the elders in the sect saw this as a chance. They were prepared to mobilise the entire sect to attack Donglin.
However, Zu Renkuang, who was in charge of the sect, suppressed all of them. He felt that the sect had suffered heavy losses and what they needed to do was rest up and develop the next generation of disciples, instead of joining in the fights of the world to take revenge.
Because of this, thousands of disciples gathered in front of the palace to judge him as the sinner of the Lingyun Sect.
At this point, the disciples which gathered in front of the palace had all scattered.
Time proved that Zu Renkuang’s decision to stay far away from this matter was the correct one. His persistence had saved the entire sect.
One really couldn’t imagine what would have happened if they had actually participated in the battle.
“Senior Master, why are you worried? This time, the Lingyun Sect didn’t join due to Senior Master’s decision. Our elders are really grateful even if they didn’t say anything. The disciples are joyous since nothing happened, too.”
Zu Renkuang came back to his senses and passed a talisman to Yan Feibai.
“It’s from Great Senior Master Wenxu, he wants me to officially take charge of the sect.”
Yan Feibai’s brow rose up, this was a good thing. The Senior Master was arrogant when he did things, but ever since he took over, he became increasingly calmer. He was a fair person and managed sect matters with gusto.
Many people felt that Zu Renkuang was much stronger than Long Ruo, the latter was humble on the outside but arrogant within, he had also caused huge problems for the sect.
Zu Renkuang muttered, “Apart from him wanting me to head to Donglin to express that we want to pledge loyalty and see if we can open schools in the Great Gan. We also want to participate in their outer region war. He said that ruler is the Saint Ruler and the only one in ten thousand years, we can’t be enemies with him.”
Yan Feibai was stunned, what Ancestor Wen Xu meant was that they were prepared to give up on their hatred towards Zong Shou?
This also meant that their thousands of disciples had died for nothing.
However, he understood. Although Zu Renkuang stopped the sect from falling into the abyss, he was still unwilling in his heart.
He didn’t feel much. The current Lingyun Sect had already lost its rights to take revenge on the Great Gan.
If they couldn’t join the legacy of the Great Gan Saint Ruler, the sect would only become weaker as time went on. Sooner or later, they would even lose their grasp on the Lingyun Palace.
“Ancestor is truly wise!”
Yan Feibai swept the talisman. “What about the two Taoist Ancestors?”
This time, the Taoist Ancestor called all sects to provide Dao Soldiers, but the Lingyun Sect didn’t.
Now, if they leaned towards Gantian Mountain, then it was obvious that they were seeing themselves as split off from the Taoist Faction.
“Qingxuan and Taihuang? Naturally, they will inform the Daoling Vast Habitat.”
Zu Renkuang laughed coldly. “They won’t stop us. If not, what would happen to the two hundred and seventy-four sects our Taoist Faction have in the five states of Jiangnan?”
Yan Feibai understood and kept silent. The Great Gan was the top dog in the world. The Taoist Faction that lost the protection of three thousand Dao Soldiers would have to tremble under the blade of Zong Shou!
Especially if they are within the Great Gan, they had to look up to the Saint Ruler.
Even with the ability of those two Ancestors, they couldn’t force the sects to give up and be enemies with the Great Gan.
The situation in the world had greatly changed.
With how he swept the southeast, it was a possibility for him to unify the Cloud World in the future.
Ge Hanyun, who was on the other side, was relaxed. With the talisman from Wen Xu, it meant that the hatred between the Lingyun Sect and Zong Shou was totally solved.
She didn’t need to worry about being enemies with that person anymore. Although, she was actually getting further and further away from him.
“Thinking about it, if I had scolded Senior Brother and persuaded him to let the sect accept him, that would have been great. But today, it is already too…”
Zu Renkuang said in melancholy and gave out a self-mocking laugh. What was the point in talking about things that had already passed? That time, he was only at a lowly position. Even if he said anything, the others wouldn’t have taken him seriously.
He was just making himself sad thinking about it!
At the same time, three thousand two hundred miles out, a young man was frowning.
Behind him were twelve sword artifacts laid out.
“Saint King, he is actually the Saint King!”
Saint King, the ruler with the values of a Saint! He is a person who rules well, and in a flawless manner, is in line with what the Heavens want!
“In other words, my Junior and Senior Brothers all died for nothing? The Heaven and Earth sees them as people that deserved to die?”
The teen gave out a tragic laugh, his eyes were filled with maniacal hatred.
“Even if you are the Saint King, I, Gongyuan am still going to kill you!”
