Chapter 1069: Chapter 1067- Heavens is the One in the Wrong
In the void, a place far from the Cloud World, a few people stood solemnly, their expressions were all different.
Xiuguan stood facing Qingxuan and Taihuang, as well as an incarnation of Taishi. However, every action of his was filled with calmness.
On the contrary, Qingxuan’s expression was really ugly. One could describe it as his heart and lungs being sliced by knives.
A full sixty-five thousand Protector Dao Soldiers were crushed in front of his eyes. Such a feeling definitely wasn’t good.
During the Common People’s Vast Habitat battle, the Taoist Faction had just lost a small bit. Although Kunming died, he could still be revived.
This God Falling Plains was one that truly damaged their core!
“The Qilin King accompanying him, speaking of which, is this Zong Shou truly the Saint King?”
At the start, when they selected the Xuan Flame Golden Qilin Beast as the mount for the Xuan Grade Dao Soldiers, he did so because he thought that since the three ancient emperors were there, there wouldn’t be any more qilins and there wouldn’t be any more Saint Emperors appearing.
However, twelve thousand years later, what he saw in front of his eyes was a huge slap to their faces. It was done so really strongly, catching the two of them off guard such that neither of them knew what to do.
They still didn’t understand. That Zong Shou was really preposterous and killed so many people, how could he be the Saint Ruler?
Although Taihuang didn’t say anything, the expression within his eyes was bitter.
Other people might not recognise it, but the moment those tens of thousands of Xuan Flame Golden Qilin Beasts lost control, he knew that it was because of the aura of the Qilin King!
The Qilin were auspicious beasts and born from eating the good energy of the world. It had unlimited abilities, but it was really tough for it to grow. Only by accompanying a Saint Ruler and consuming his Saint King Energy will he be able to grow into a Qilin King Beast.
He finally understood. Before Rongbu died, he looked at Zong Shou’s destiny and said that he was the Taoist Faction’s calamity. At last, he said out the “Qi” word.
So, he wasn’t referring to the Common People’s Vast Habitat battle, but the one today. That final word most probably referred to the Qilin King!
That was the only thing that the hundreds of thousands of Xuan Flame Golden Qilin Beasts in Taoist Faction was afraid of.
“Sword Sect’s Hua Ruo used his ability to view Zong Shou’s destiny and luck a few months back. In just a few breaths, his spirit eye was lost. Blood flowed out of his seven holes and he even lost close to half of his lifespan. I am not that skilled at divination, but since he is followed by the Qilin, then that is most probably true.”
Xiuguan seemed to see through their thoughts. After looking at the Cloud World he smiled. “Qingxuan are you prepared to leave? Aren’t you going to wait for a while more when the outcome is settled?”
The two people in front were already carefully trying to break out of this space, to retract themselves from the spiritual sense battle.
Qingxuan’s face turned green as he stared at Xiuguan with an indiscernible gaze.
Zong Shou, as the current Saint Ruler with the Qilin by his side, was something that Common People’s Path and the Sword Sect knew about long ago.
They hid this and covered for Zong Shou. The two sects schemed, how vicious was that!
Although he was furious, there was nothing that he could do. He had plotted against Common People’s Path and Xiuguan could do the same to the Taoist Faction.
The losses the Taoist Faction received today was the heaviest they had in sixteen thousand years, ever since Cibei Taoist Lord left.
Even someone as shrewd as he was found it tough to keep his calm. His heart was filled with pain and rage, just a few threads of spiritual sense which floated around caused storms in the nearby space to happen.
However, at this point, he could only suppress the anger within him.
“Xiuguan is joking, the battle has long been decided, what else can I do but leave? Should i stay here and look at Xiuguan be gleeful at the results?”
Along with the right-wing of the Shang collapsing, the outcome was already decided. He was looking forward to the Yin Yang Heart Needle Technique a while ago.
However, since Zong Shou had the Saint King’s body, then naturally, no evil could touch it.
Although the curse was terrifying, but which Ruler in the Cloud World feared it? Even some generals who were filled with fierce energy didn’t bother too much.
Much less for Zong Shou who was a Saint Ruler.
Zhongxuan’s technique was just a joke to him.
“I really wanted to do that! I wanted to feel joy in my heart and share it with others.”
Xiuguan was delighted and smiled. It wasn’t him being satisfied, but him releasing the hate that had suppressed him for so long, the pressure on his shoulders.
“The two of you can go ahead and leave. I won’t stop you, but it is a little irresponsible.”
Just as he said that, Wushang Yuan Demon appeared. He had an angry expression with dark and cold eyes.
Qingxuan, the three of us joined hands today, we should back off at the same time!”
There was another meaning to his words. Everyone knew that Li Biexue came for the tens of thousands of Heaven Demon’s Cavalry, as well as the Yuanshi Demon’s Spirit Cavalry from the Yuanshi Demon Sect.
Although the Taoist Faction Xuan Grade Dao Soldiers were wiped out, tens of thousands of demon sect ones were still perfectly fine.
Once Qingxuan and Taihuang left, then these Demon Sect Dao Soldiers would have no chance of survival.
Only now did they know how vicious Kong Yao’s plan was. There was only one path nearby which could allow them to leave the area.
Probably only one percent of the six hundred thousand troops would be able to escape today.
Qingxuan didn’t say anything as his eyes were filled with coldness.
Back off at the same time? Did they have to wait for the Heaven Demon’s Cavalry to retreat safely from the Great Gan’s attacks?
However, if they delayed time, the Taoist Faction’s hundreds of True Martial Swordsmen wouldn’t be able to survive either.
There was no reason for them to lose this last bit of hope of the Taoist Faction just for the Demon Sect.
Since the Purple Qilin’s Flame Spear Cavalry were all wiped out, then it was best if the Heaven Demon’s Cavalry died on the battlefield too.
If not, how would they restrict them in the future? If the Demon Sect tossed aside their grievances with the Common People’s Path and strike the mid plains, how would they be able to block?
After all, they still had the agreement. He couldn’t make such thoughts clear.
“Li Biexue, did our three factions have a contract? Why haven’t I heard about it? To lose important things because of small and petty problems is something that will make one hurt and the enemy happy.”
The person who spoke wasn’t Yuanshi or Taihuang, but Zhu Zi who also came over.
Qingxuan looked over with pity.
This time, although the Taoist Faction suffered heavy losses, their foundations were still there.
However, even though the Confucian Faction looked like they didn’t lose anything, they actually bled more than the Taoist Faction.
The person who the Confucian Faction saw as a violent and ignorant ruler, who they told the world was their enemy, someone everyone had to kill at the start, was actually someone on the same level as the three ancient emperors that they worshipped. The impact to their prestige was indescribable.
More strictly, one could even treat is as the Cloud World and the Heavens rejecting the Confucian Faction and disagreeing with the path that they were taking.
To Zhu Zi, it was a huge loss of prestige!
Looking out, Zhu Zi’s face was filled with loss. He was lost, furious, and filled with doubt. He was actually showing signs of losing his mind.
However, there was still some clarity in him as he greeted Qingxuan, “Qingxuan please help us out with the Cloud World!”
Qingxuan’s expression turned solemn and he nodded. “This concerns the life and death of my Taoist Faction, so I will try my best! However, has Zhu Zi made your mind up?”
Zhu Zi’s expression was numb as he slightly nodded.
What else could he do to stop Zong Shou since he was the Saint Ruler? Kneel under his feet?
That was impossible! The Heavens was definitely wrong!
That man took over ten years ago and didn’t manage any matters. He did all those preposterous policies and he dissed and talked about wiping out the Confucian Faction in front of many people.
How could such a person be the Saint King?
The Confucian Faction was spread for tens of thousands of years and created numerous prosperous eras. It was the way of ruling supported by the Heavens.
How was Zong Shou recognised by the Heavens?
Even if he really was the Saint Ruler, then the Heavens was in the wrong! Not him!
The billions of disciples of the Confucian Faction was long unable to share the same space as Zong Shou.
The evil sayings that the Common People’s Path spread, Xi Zi’s talks of equality, was all nonsense! How could they be correct?
The world needed differences and nobility, a caste system to run naturally, only then will there be a proper ruling era! How can one even live like the Gan Country?
However, the most important thing now was to save Yinyu. As long as the Great Shang Ruler was still there and their country stable, they will have the ability to continue to fight and compete against the Common People’s Path and Zong Shou.
The two of them spoke and disregarded Li Biexue. The latter was furious and wanted to speak. In the end, they kept silent. He shut up as his lips curled up, he then laughed coldly.
Taishi didn’t say a word as he looked with a dark gaze into the world. Who knew what he was thinking about?
Xiuguan was alone at the side, looking at all of this like an outsider. He found it really interesting.
At this moment, several world rivers away, at a place also near to the God Falling Plains.
Qingming was stunned as she looked within the Cloud World, she felt like her entire body turned cold.
On a jade altar laid out in the void outside the world were thousands of Taoist Faction disciples.
It was a point on the Wushang Cycle of Heaven Space Locking Demon Formation, which provided spiritual power for this space locking formation.
It caused hundreds of miles of land to be locked down and also suppress Zong Shou’s World Burning Flame. Naturally, there were more than nineteen, they also had to deal with the Venerables from the Sword Sect, Common People’s Path, and the Buddhist Faction.
However, at this moment panic. was spreading about in the crowd.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with shock and loss.
“The Purple Qilin’s Flame Spear Cavalry was actually wiped out?”
“How is that possible?”
“Are the three factions’ combined efforts going to lose?”
“Sixty-five thousand Xuan Grade Dao Soldiers lost just like that?”
“What should we do? Do we still maintain the formation? Is it even useful?”
“Will the battle affect this area?”
“The Dao Soldiers have lost and the Blood Cloud Cavalry aren’t restricted at all. If we don’t leave now, we will suffer huge losses!”
“The Blood Cloud Cavalry is really famous, especially with a famous general leading. Five to six Saint Realms might not be their match.”
Everyone panicked, but Qingming didn’t bother about them. Her heart felt like lightning had struck it. She was in a daze. The Qilin King was by his side… was that person actually the Saint King?
