Divine Brilliance

Yan Fan couldn’t help but praise, before not bothering to look at Zong Shou anymore. His hands were placed on his knees, looking really casual. To Zong Shou’s eyes, he was like a bowstring pulled tight, ready to fire.

“Taiyuan Fairy, why not do me a favor? If you are willing to give me face, our Wujue Villa will definitely compensate Fairy for your sacrifices…”

Shui Lingbo gave out a cold laugh, lightning flashing between her eyebrows, “Why don’t you make the sacrifice? If you are willing to give the little fellow to me, Taiyuan Sect will open up the treasury to you and allow you to pick three items. I won’t go against my words!”

Yan Fan frowned as he shook his head, “I can’t give him up, Prince is the only one in a thousand years that could merge our five pinnacle techniques. Please Fairy, be gracious!”

“I should be the one asking villa head to be gracious!” Shui Lingbo said coldly, “This fellow’s sword path talent means he is the only one who can train in my sect’s Luminous Spiritual Energy Sword! If Lingbo gives him up, I would have no face to meet the Ancestor of the Common People Path! I can’t give him up…”

“Neither of us can give him up, so do we really have to fight it out?” Yan Fan sighed, “The Fairy is young, less than thirty, and managed to open the ninth meridian of the Heaven Chakra stage, your Spirit Cultivation has also reached the Body Forming stage. Although it is because you got the Martial Saint Golden Pill, but in terms of talent you are indeed the top in ten thousand years in the Cloud World. However, it isn’t like I haven’t improved in these hundreds of years, I am confident my current cultivation is many levels above you!”

Shui Lingbo frowed coldly, her lower chin relaxing like she was not fearful at all. “Let’s fight then! Anyways I am not afraid, even if this Donglin Cloud Continent turns to dust, this is also Lingyun Sect’s territory and the deaths don’t concern you and I…”

Yan Fan smiled bitterly when he heard that. “The Fairy is indeed vicious, truly like a demon sect. Aren’t you afraid that all the proper sects target you once again after eight thousand years?”

“What does my Path of the Common People have to fear? Eight thousand years ago you all couldn’t do anything about us, eight thousand years later you all will only get slaughtered as you return. If the ancestor knew what happened today, he will definitely praise my sect!”

Shui Lingbo suddenly stood up, her body surrounded by a fiery glow, “My Taiyuan Sect definitely wants this person!”

Zong Shou sat at the side of the chess board, his face dripping cold sweat. He only felt like the atmosphere was becoming colder and colder, the wind in the area surging around. The killing intent of the two was getting thicker and thicker.

Chuxue and Lian Fan could avoid it, however they were too close to these two top experts. If they weren’t careful and moved, it might cause unexpected results.

Even if they went all out, they were barely able to hold on in this wave-like battle of intents.

Thinking to themselves that they were about to become collateral damage, it was really uncomfortable.

Yan Fan kept silent for a while. Although he didn’t stand up, a deep sword intent seeped out from his body. He had a solemn expression on his face, “Although I can’t bear to kill the innocent, but today, even if a thousand miles around this place turns to dust, I won’t let this kid fall into your hands!”

Turning around his head and smiling warmly towards Zong Shou, “If the Prince is impatient you can leave first. It is best if you leave swiftly! Once we have a result, naturally we will go and find you!”

Zong Shou felt like he had been saved, knowing how dangerous this place was and not wanting to stay a moment longer here. He bowed towards the two of them before leaving hurriedly with Chuxue and Lian Fan. Before leaving he didn’t forget to raise up two fists, ten fingers and shake them in the direction of Lei Dong.

Lei Dong was furious, his heart in such pain it was bleeding out. He thought to himself, -Who is it for that I am bringing my uncle over? In the end, I have to pay ten bottles of Celestial brew and even lost that stone, what a huge loss!- Thinking about the stone, he couldn’t help but stare furiously at the woman opposite him, his eyes opened wide and giving off sparks, -Return the stone to me!-

Zhao Yanran was lazy to bother about him, directly looking to the side.

Lei Dong didn’t let her off, still staring at her as he scoffed coldly, “If you don’t return it to me, don’t blame me for speaking too much! If she knows that you let me go and was the reason this old man is here, what do you think the outcome will be?”

This time Zhao Yanran’s eyes turned sharp as she stared back, using her eyes to say, If you have the balls, go ahead!

Lei Dong’s aura was a level weaker and he was worried that the crazy woman would destroy the stone. Thinking about it, he decided to bear with it and not stoop to her low level.

As the two of them were staring at one another, the situation between Yan Fan and Taiyuan Fairy also changed. Yan Fan suddenly smiled, keeping his fighting spirit and killing intent, sitting down comfortably. “The Fairy is so confident that this Prince is the one the three saints mentioned, the future choice of the God Emperor of our Cloud World?”

The fiery glow around her body also suddenly dimmed, her expression still cold, “Whether he is or not, I am not sure. I only know that even if he isn’t, with his talents he might not be worse than those favored by the heavens.”

“It seems like heroes have the same thoughts, I also think so, too. Since there is only one Zong Shou and we can’t split him ino half. Do we really have to have a big war involving the two sects because of him?”

Seeing Shui Lingbo’s expression stay the same and not change, Yan Fan’s gaze also became solemn, “Why not let’s have a bet to decide who this kid belongs to…”

Shui Lingbo’s eyes furrowed in interest, “That is exactly what I wanted. What do you want to bet?”

—————

When Zong Shou used the Lightning Travelling Spirit Bone to walk back, he could see that the fog here was still thick, but he could already determine the direction. Those Windrider Foals were still there and none of them had escaped. The two carriages were still waiting quietly.

Xuanyuan Yiren and Li Yunniang still weren’t back yet.

Just as the three of them walked onto the carriage, they saw two people running over together. Zong Shou didn’t bother to look and knew that it was the two of them.

As the two of them got close, Zong Shou looked Xuanyuan Yiren over carefully. She was without a single dust and dirt particle, like she hadn’t faced any dangerous situation, only then was he at ease. Smiling, “Did you find the senior who used the fog spiritual technique?”

Xuanyuan Yiren shook her head and could feel that Zong Shou was teasing her as she immediately stared back. But the moment she met his eyes, for some reason her face flushed red as she look away.

Li Yunniang frowned when she heard that, and she seemed a little annoyed, “We didn’t see that senior, but we saw a piece of trash! How disgusting! But that person shouldn’t be in a good situation, it must be like he is in a living hell…”

As she said that, Li Yunniang’s brows were like dancing as she gloated, “The person who dug the hole is so vicious. Six hundred feet is still okay, and he actually added oil! Once one fell in they would definitely be unable to climb out. It was most probably the person who made the fog. Luckily, Little Miss was alert or we would have fell in..”

“Trash? Six hundred foot stone hole, oil? What?” Zong Shou was at a loss, but after shaking his head, he instructed Lian Fan to proceed.

There might be a shocking battle at this place in the next moment. When two of the strongest people under the Celestial Realm went head to head, within a thousand miles all living things could possibly die and turn to dust in just a breath.

Since Yan Fan reminded them, naturally it was best for them to leave this place.

Li Yunniang was startled. Compared to the person in front of her, wasn’t that Zong Ling trash?

Who knew that this Gantian Mountain Prince, the piece of trash who everyone thought couldn’t cultivate, would kill Ren Qianchou, Xie Jun, and Yun Tao in ten breaths, and also behead Ten Thousand Blood Killer Li Yaling?

His Out of Body Realm cultivation was there for everyone to see. His soul could also rise up in the sun and behave naturally, totally unbelievable. Or was he already at the Night Wandering Realm?

Speaking of which, the Little Miss was still in the dark…

Li Yunniang couldn’t help but look to the side. Would Xuanyuan Yiren blame her after she learned about it?

If her Miss really blamed her then she had no choice, why did only the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect have that ancient pill. Who knew how long it would take for that person she informed to send someone over?

———-

Not long after the two carriages left the fog, in a giant hole not far away, Zong Ling was covered in oil, his face green with rage as he climb out along one side.

Just as he gained a footing, his hands tightened up and activated true qi. Immediately a dozen living things were forced out from his body.

Zong Shou grabbed them with his hands and crushed them, blood and meat flying around. His handsome face was now ashen white, filled with rage.

“I swear I will take revenge for today! Xuanyuan Yiren, and also that Zong Shou!…”

If it wasn’t for Xuanyuan Yiren leaving him in the lurch, he would have gotten out long ago. If it wasn’t to track down Zong Shou, why would he have faced such torture? Naturally there was also that damn powder…

He didn’t know the past of the person who dug the hole and he probably couldn’t do anything to him, which was why he hated the two of them to the bone.

Feng Xiao also climbed out after him, his face similarly ugly. He pulled out a dirt eel from his ear, then walked up, “The fog has dissipated! Let’s move and chase after them! If we get left behind, we won’t be able to answer to Young Master Zong Shi!”

Zong Ling scoffed, his face filled with unhappiness, “Why bother to chase? That person has a seven meridian Xuanwu Ancestor protecting him. Why would he need our help?”

“Young Master, you are thinking about it wrongly! It is because of that Xuanwu Ancestor that we we need to follow.” He said solemnly, “That person is badly hurt and at his weakest time. If Zong Shi wants to take control of Gantian Mountain. he has to get rid of him!”

Zong Ling’s brows perked as he entered a deep thought. Just as he was about to relax, he suddenly heard a loud explosion miles away.

A bright light exploded and the fog rose into the air. The wind was really intense and with a sweeping strength broke all the trees and plants nearby.

Zong Ling was startled, turning around without any hesitation and jumping back into that deep hole filled with dirt eels and little snakes.
