Chapter 1094 (1/2)

Although he had reached Gantian Mountain first, Zong Shou insisted on meeting up with Kong Yao before participating in the welcome ceremony that Renbo prepared.

Compared to Zong Shou’s full entourage, Kong Yao’s was really simple. She only brought Celestial Realm helpers to protect her own safety.

Seeing Zong Shou waiting for her here, although she didn’t say anything, her eyes were filled with sweetness.

“After we return, I am prepared to cultivate for a period of time in that Universe Light Hall…”

Maybe because she had spent too much energy in the battle of the five states, her eyes were filled with exhaustion.

“Not only me, but Zong Yuan and Ren Tianxing are prepared to cultivate for a period of time. Although we can still handle it, I feel that I am lagging behind.”

Zong Shou was unsurprised. Long before the battle in the south, Kong Yao had revealed this to him.

The three of them were unparalleled Commanders but due to their work, they weren’t satisfied with their progress in the martial path and spiritual cultivation.

The three of them had enough of training in their heart and just lacked the accumulation of cultivation. The most effective method would be to make use of the Universe Light Hall that he brought from the First Dragon Hall.

However, this time period was just nice when the Night Demon Race might have a full-scale invasion.

Zong Shou looked at the few space treasures in his sleeves.

Was he going to bleed this time again?

He took down 20 Demon Path Sects in a row. Apart from the last few who knew to escape early, he collected many Mind Stones in the first few days. They were all the secret collections of those few sects and Mind Stone production had reached a high level after the spiritual wave explosion.

Among them were two of the 19 Spiritual Houses…

His income was dozens of times higher than when he wiped out more than 30 Taoist Factions and left the Cloud World. It could support the Book of Eon for some time.

The Universe Light Hall wasn’t complete, but adding in his Eon Book, it would cause the time acceleration to be much more effective.

Actually, even he required decades to digest the Demon Path techniques and to add to his number of stars and swords.

As for the Book of Eon, there was no need to keep it a secret anymore. Even if people found out, no one would dare to snatch it from him.

Since he returned to the Cloud World, he hadn’t truly used it once.

Actually, it wasn’t that he wasn’t willing but because he couldn’t. Without the support of enough spiritual energy, he would be willing to use the Mind Stones to accelerate time to increase his own strength.

In the past, he used as much as he had and only left a portion of spiritual energy to save his life at a crucial moment.

He sensed that Kong Yao was already extremely tired, so he pitied her and let her off, letting her rest.

Kong Yao herself was the one who provoked her. The two of them tangled with one another for half a night before Kong Yao fell into a deep sleep on his tail.

He hugged her body and caressed her silk-like hair and felt heart pained. Only then did he notice that this Army God, who had never lost, had so much pressure amassed in her chest.

Just now, she wanted to have fun both to vent and also to be consoled and loved by him.

“This time, I really placed Yao’er in a spot…”

Using two million troops to suppress the five states wasn’t an easy matter.

It wasn’t something that could be easily occupied once the Shang Army had backed off.

The local interests were really complicated and intersected. Due to his five decrees, those aristocratic families all fought against it.

Kong Yao needed to defend against Great Shang and also the local rebels. During that period of time, Zong Shou was attacking the Demon Faction and couldn’t help her. The situation was really risky and if she wasn’t careful the entire situation would turn on its head.

Luckily, at this moment, Great Gan’s recruitment earlier was slowly forming strength and could be utilized, such that the troops at the five states weren’t so limited anymore.

This was also why Kong Yao was willing to put down everything and focus on the Universe Light Hall cultivation.

The situation was already set and Great Gan had built a huge pass in front of Hundred Victory Pass and stationed a million troops there.

Shi Ruolan also commanded the navy to charge at the mouth of the Yangtze River and a portion of the cloud ships entered the river system.

As a result, the Great Shang army didn’t monopolize everything anymore and both sides were now at a standstill. No one could think about breaking through in a short time.

Now, both sides were competing against one another for the foundations of both countries.

Even if Kong Yao and the others weren’t there, it didn’t matter.

On the second morning, Zong Shou and Kong Yao slowly entered the city under the protection of 30,000 cavalry.

49 Dragon Horses pulling the giant carriage was too much and naturally unsuitable.

He could only switch another carriage before entering Gantian Mountain City.

12 bells sounded 100 miles around the city. The sides of the streets were filled with Gantian Mountain people and they all looked on solemnly.

Zong Shou was slightly shocked. He thought that when he entered, he would be welcomed with cheers.

However, the city was extremely solemn.

Until a portion of people started to kneel by themselves.

“Long live the Saint King!”
