Chapter 1173 - In front of Hundred Victory Pass (1/2)

“There is news from His Majesty…”

Hu Zhongyuan’s face was instantly filled with joy. For a full month they didn’t know anything about Zong Shou.

Even if the Common People Vast Habitat Mysterious Golden Life Book still had his name, everyone was still worried.

Only at this moment did they manage to swallow their heart down.

Great Gan had the Cabinet, the Privy Court and also the Five Army Inspectorates.

Even without Zong Shou everything could run normally. The truth wasn’t that. Although everyone did their jobs, but they weren’t at ease.

Only when they knew what had happened to him did they feel more calm.

Kong Yao who was observing the situation was alerted, looking over with a weird expression and a questioning gaze.

Hu Zhongyuan’s expression turned solemn, “It is someone called Li Xin who held the letter and returned to Gantian Mountain. I heard that this person is half a step End Realm and is one of the helpers His Majesty recruited. He is on orders to head over to Tianfang World and lead the cavalry army…”

Seeing Kong Yao frown, Hu Zhongyuan immediately knew the reason and smiled, “He said that His Majesty is fine. At this moment he is trapped in a small sized world fragment and will return in a few days.”

Kong Yao was deep in thought, she didn’t understand what space fragment could trap Zong Shou.

Just as she was deep in thought, a loud rumbling spread out in the distance.

Looking out, the entire area shook. In front of the pass, a giant crack formed on the plains and spread about. It reached towards the city walls like a spiderweb.

“Earth Cracking Technique!”

Kong Yao’s eyes turned but she didn’t do anything. That technique was just a Grade Four technique however if the people casting it were two Saint Realm Venerables along with three thousand spirit masters, then its strength could shake all mountains.

It was more than enough to deal with the incomplete structure.

However at this moment she didn’t need to worry. Hundreds of sword lights struck forth and stabbed in front of the city walls.

In the middle was a giant being with a thousand foot sword body, hundreds of swords rotated around it.

When the cracks stretched over, numerous yellow glows spread in the air.

“Those factions are not behaving again!”

Hu Zhongyuan scoffed, “Luckily during the God Falling Plains battle we wiped out the spirit masters that Great Shang hired.”

During the battle in the south, seventy percent of the Great Shang spirit masters were killed, their overall strength was much weaker than Great Gan. However if one added it the huge territory that Great Gan had to defend, the difference wasn’t much.

At this moment, ten percent of the spirit masters belonged to the Shi Family, the others were from sects as well as the aristocratic families of the southwest. Next would be from the Demon Path…

“Great Shang is working with the Demon Path, Yuanchen is asking to die! Sooner or later the people will give up on him!”

The person who spoke wore a green shirt and held a long sword. It was Sword Sect Ruotao. Just now it was the Sword Sect who held to scatter the Earth Cracking Technique.

The Hundred Victory Pass battle concerned the rise and fall of six factions, even the Sword Sect had to bother.

Ruotao who was the next Ten Thousand Sword Vast Habitat Palace Head represented the entire Sword Sect to defend the place.

The Buddhist Faction had to continue to suppress the corpse army which was why they couldn’t send many over.

“Asking to die? That might not be the case. Since Confucian Faction joined hands with Demon Path then naturally Yinyu wouldn’t care.”

Suchen laughed coldly, “With the twelve Copper Men and with Li Biexue suppressing, even if the five factions worked together, Yuanchen isn’t afraid. Moreover the Taoist Faction is happy to see it happen. Zhu Zi’s line will only try to persuade them, if they fail they would just step aside. Maybe they are even laughing and waiting for a chance to jump in. Yinyu needs to rely on the Confucian Faction if he wants to rule…”

When he said that, his face twisted, filled with rage and his eyes turned red, “Jin Buhui just mocked him to alert Yinyu to not make the same mistakes and now he is going to be killed. That idiot, now his head is still hanging on the city walls. The people don’t know and really think he is a traitor who scolded the emperor. They all curse at him and even in death he is being humiliated!”

Talking about Jin Buhui, everyone present was silent. They all knew him and knew that Zong Shou was brothers with him.

If Zong Shou had returned and knew that his sworn brother had ended up like this, who knew how he would react.

At this moment Yinyu indeed didn’t have to bother that much…

However Great Gan couldn’t step up. One reason was that they didn’t have enough strength. Tianfang World was facing huge danger. The other was because they couldn’t.

If Great Gan sent an envoy to want his body back, wouldn’t it prove that he was a traitor?

Kong Yao thought back to the past, at that time didn’t she also think that Yinyu was a wise ruler.

Now that she was far away, she had another view. A few years ago just to ask Great Gan to fight the Night Demon Army, he used her as a pawn and tossed her aside.

It left a huge impression on her heart at that time and she felt really fortunate now.

“Yinyu isn’t such a person and he just wants to infuriate His Majesty!”

Ten thousand feet out a fire blazed. It was those City Climbing Chariots which were lit. Most of the Shang troops on the walls were cleared out.

The main general Ren Tianxing walked over, his eyes shone brightly.

“Do you remember a few months ago what Yinyu told his messenger to say? That if we want his help we need Commander Kong to enter the Imperial City as a hostage. If His Majesty got angry he would start war and that would be what Yinyu wanted.”
