Chapter 1183: Start Of The Craziness
“Now what? You are seen as a traitor. Not only did he kill you but he tortured your soul such that you can’t even revive. Those people that you love hate you to the bone and everyone abandoned you. Is it worth it?”
Jin Buhui was stunned once more. He then burst out laughing and shook his head, “Since I have already done it, then so be it. Why do I have to regret it? My conscience is clear and I don’t care what others think about me. I am not a true Confucian, so I don’t have to worry about my reputation after I die.”
Zong Shou was stunned and then didn’t know what to say. Since this fellow himself didn’t care, then what else could he say?
However, Jin Buhui also saw through the fact that the prosperity of Donglin and South Wind was built on the wealth of the other parts of the Cloud World, through trade to obtain the riches of the other areas.
The current Great Gan was not prepared to unify the Cloud World. Once it swallowed the Central Cloud Continent, its financial burden would increase by 100 times.
Those sects and local families couldn’t be wiped out with Great Gan’s current strength. At the same time they swallowed Great Shang, these poisonous tumors would also merge.
The policy that Zhang Huai suggested for him was to occupy the rich lands and recover the strength of Jiangnan before trying to claim something else.
Jin Buhui knew how chaotic Great Shang was and that Zong Shou would do nothing which was why he wanted to beg Yinyu and persuade him.
However, since matters had reached such a state, it was useless to talk about all of this.
After sighing, Zong Shou’s expression was filled with melancholy.
“Since Great Shang is about to die, do you still want to stop me?”
“You really have the confidence to kill him?’
Jin Buhui had a shocked expression on his face. Then, he said without much care, “Do whatever you want! To date, Yinyu doesn’t even think about strengthening the nation and focuses solely on troops. With the twelve Copper Men, he became more decisive and is going all out to clear corruption. Great Shang’s foundations are gone and it might be useful now but in just a few years it will turn back to normal. If he is too forceful, the aristocratic families might bite back. If this carries on, in just a few years, the country will die. The world will still be in chaos. There is no hope. Since they are going to die, then why not die early…”
“That’s great! We are brothers and we can’t have differing opinions at the last moment and fight one another.”
Zong Shou forced a smile and tried to be expressionless, “I have the Life and Death Cereus here and can help you revive. However, you won’t be able to cultivate. The other method is to protect you into reincarnation. Your memories will be wiped out but your spiritual roots won’t be destroyed and in the next life you can still cultivate. Which do you choose?”
Jin Buhui’s body shook and he looked stunned at Zong Shou. A moment later, he laughed bitterly, “The latter one. I won’t be what stupid official anymore. I will cultivate, living forever is the main goal.”
He said bitterly, “However before this, please help complete a wish of mine…”
Zong Shou’s eyes opened wide and then nodded solemnly, “I promise you! In just 10 years, I will sweep the world! That the people of the Cloud World won’t suffer from hunger. The pain of war will end.”
Before his words ended, Jin Buhui’s face was filled with satisfaction. He smiled, “A month ago, Yinyu hung my head here. He said he wanted me to personally see Great Shang rise or fall. It seems like it won’t be done!”
His voice became weaker and weaker. Zong Shou knew that this was caused by the soul torture.
His foundations were already injured and to have the strength to say all these to him was already his limit.
He also knew that Jin Buhui’s soul was damaged and was like a leaking sandbag. Unless he found something to carry it, he wouldn’t be able to preserve it. It would scatter in a short moment. Even End Realm Saint Venerables could only delay the time.
However, if he preserved the soul, it would affect his reincarnation.
He waved his sleeves and kept Jin Buhui’s soul in to protect using astral energy.
Even if he was to reincarnate, they would have to wait until Yinyu and Zuoxin, the two main causes of his death, were killed!
Zong Shou was filled with sadness in his chest. His narrow and long phoenix eyes turned red.
A buzz as Zong Shou reached out and held the God Refined Sword.
He looked towards the tightly shut city gate, laughing instead of being angry.
A loud shout spread throughout the hundred miles, covering the entire city.
“I am here today to kill Yinyu alone! Whoever who dares stop me will be killed!”
A purple sword light slashed down onto the city gate. Instantly, there was an explosion.
The entire area shook. Where the sword light passed, nothing could stop it.
It directly pierced through the spiritual formation and slashed a hole onto the million kilogram door.
The entire city gate was also split into two.
At this moment, the civilians who were entering and leaving the cities all scattered.
The streets behind the gates were filled with thousands of armored soldiers who dashed over. Being hit by the sword, they turned to flesh and blood. Half of the Great Shang soldiers were killed and there was also a 1,000-foot deep sword mark on the ground.
However, the city protecting formation was indeed really strong. After being slashed open, in just an instant, it recovered back to normal.
However, it couldn’t block Zong Shou who used the dragon pearls to enter the city.
With just a flash, he broke through the space and entered the city.
He directly neglected everything else and stepped towards the Imperial Capital. He took a leisurely stroll like he was afraid the troops and other helpers weren’t prepared.
However, the entire city was silent and no one dared to stop him.
Only when he could see the Fenghua Palace did he hear the sound of horse hooves.
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen dashed along the path. At the front were several generals. One of them jumped up, his spear gathering the strength of the cavalry, looking similar to the general in the Qin Emperor Tomb. He was strong and sharp, climbing to the Saint Realm as he stabbed over.
“Enemy country head, you dare to enter my capital. Die!”
Zong Shou didn’t even look at him as a silver light slid out from his sleeves.
It crossed 10,000 feet and drew a bloodstain in the air. The spear shadows all around suddenly became messy and then it stopped.
That spear wielding general fell to the ground with a numb face. There was a finger wide hole at his brow. His excited expression also slowly faded.
The silver light also pinned onto the green stone path with a “Duo” sound.
It was a silver flying knife which didn’t pierce into the ground. Zong Shou had used just enough strength, not one bit more or less. It was just enough.
That day during the underground palace, he only had three more Zimu Falling Leaf Flying Knives left.
With the wings to strengthen the Six God Defensive Knife Technique, even a Magical Treasure Grade Flying Knife that was nourished for four days had the ability to kill such a general!
