“Prince you are making this hard for Shi Dan.”

Shi Dan smiled awkwardly and looked at Zong Shou apologetically, “I don’t know much about it, only roughly. It also had something to do with the bet. Not only did Lingyun Sect not take this talisman, but they must also protect the Steele. My position is lowly, and I don’t have access to any more information. In the future when the prince joins either a sword Sect or becomes a disciple of that common people path you would be a direct disciple. At that time you can get your information!”

She looked at Zong Shou in doubt, “Based on what I know, the god talisman platform on Pill Spirit Mountain was broken by you. You asked this because you have comprehended the luck talisman? Or have you obtained that saint realm expert’s legacy?”

Zong Shou laughed. Just as he was about to speak, he had an idea and looked out.

He saw that not far away, Zong Gang was holding a red bird. A short moment later, his face changed. He led his horse next to the window, “Prince, Gantian Mountain has news that Zong Shi and Zong Yan might work together to confirm a new Monster king before you return.”

A moment later, there were 2 red swift birds which flew towards Hu Zhongyuan and Tan Tao. In just a moment, their faces became extremely ugly.

Zong Shou had expected this, his eyes shining slightly before he casually walked out of the carriage. He looked in the direction of Gantian Mountain in deep though. A moment later his brows furrowed, “It seems like we can’t travel causally these few days. Someone bring me a horse!”

He turned his eyes to the back, only to see the curtain of the carriage open. Zong Yuan’s majestic body stepped out from within. His eyes were cold and icy, revealing killing intent. The aura he gave off was intense and crazy.

Not only was it because of this burning killing intent, but it was also because his realm wasn’t stable, and he had progressed too quickly.

However, looking at his energy, one would know that the current Zong Yuan had stepped into peak martial ancestor realm.

Zong Shou judged Zong Yuan up and down and instantly felt like his eyes were like a sword, giving off a sharp and cold intent stabbing over, freezing his heart. However, when he looked at him, he retracted some of that intent. He was filled with more humbleness and respect, and also more craving and anticipation as he sought to fight.

Zong Shou couldn’t help but frown. This fellow was too eager and didn’t catch his words.

The earth energy pill was good, but it wasn’t omnipotent. Being too quick in life would give rise to problems.

Even if Zong Yuan had comprehended the maniac lightning spear sense after he reached the 5th meridian, he needed a period to stabilize. To choose to enter the 6th meridian at that time would be the best.

He had guessed that when the fellow asked for both earth energy pills and spiritual veins. How could he resist the urge to progress?

Thinking back to Zong Yang and Zong Hao, Zong Shou helplessly sighed, able to understand his mental state. This time might be his only chance for revenge which was why he was so anxious.

Thinking about it in his heart, Zong Shou decided not to scold him. Although progressing so fast wasn’t good, but with his skills, he could cover it up and solve it. But during this period, Zong Yuan’s martial path progress would slow down.

At that moment, a grade 4 Windrider foal taken from Feng Yu was brought in front of him. It was several times stronger than normal Windrider foals, its mouth giving out a stench. Its body was covered in exquisite armor which wrapped him up. Numerous steel spikes stretched from its head. Like an iron beast, looking several times more vicious.

Zong Shou immediately did a flip and jumped onto the horse. This grade 4 Windrider foal instantly gave an unhappy neigh. However, before it could even resist, a strong intent was pressed down on it and suppressed it. Like a huge hammer striking, this caused its consciousness to go wobble. It actually couldn’t handle it, fumbling forwards a few steps before recovering. Then, it didn’t dare to be arrogant and wild, lowering its head and showing that it had yielded. One could only feel that intent wrapping around his soul, as long as it had any attempt to resist it could crush its soul into pieces!

After totally taking the Windrider foal under him, Zong Shou nodded in satisfaction. He took out some spiritual beans and fed it to the horse.

No matter what era it is, hanging a carrot in front of a stick was the best way to tame animals.

He took another look at his surroundings only to see that Hu Zhongyuan, Tan Tao and the few of them, as well as all the martial ancestor experts all move their horses and gathered beside him.

Zong Shou smiled slightly, “Are you all ready? This time we are going back to kill people! Although we are from the same side, there will be bloodshed, a lot of blood…”

His tone was calm but the tens of experts around could only feel a chill sink deep into their heart. Their fighting spirit bubbled.

Zong Yuan’s eyes lit up, unknowingly he tightly grabbed the purple lightning spear in his hands. His eyes were ice cold.

Gantian Mountain was silent. All the flames and lights in the city were put out.

One could only hear the sound of numerous armor and weapons hitting one another as well as the sound of horse hooves.

The streets of the entire city were filled with groups of well-equipped soldiers who were patrolling.

Any place that was slightly wider would be covered by soldiers. Many infantry and cavalry formations neatly arranged at various spots of the cities. In the corners as well as important streets, numerous archers were waiting. The atmosphere was serious and quiet. It was silently split into a few sides who were going up against one another.

At the south of the city of Gantian City, on the mountain peak that was only lower than the main peak, Hu Qianqiu was dressed in black armor looking down on the entire mountain city.

Beside him was the Gantian Mountain left pillar general Qiu Wei. He was also dressed in spiritual armor, totally armed. His hand was holding a wolf tooth stick.

“It seems like those 3 people have joined hands!”

Looking at the changes within the city, Hu Qianqiu scoffed, revealing a mocking expression, “I knew that they wouldn’t be willing, but I didn’t expect that Zong Ming and Zong Hao to join up because they were afraid of Zong Yuan. However, Shiyuan, that was unfortunate. His is Zong’er’s Uncle and should be on his side.”

“Zong Shiyuan? The ruler has often treated him well and given him so much help. He shouldn’t have such ambitions.”

Qiu Wei’s face was numb. His eyes were cold and cruel, like an Ice Mountain, “Even if he tries to turn back, I will convince the prince to take away with military power and kill him!”

Hu Qianqiu smiled as he heard it. Although he wasn’t willing to do that, he didn’t retort. He continued to look down in thought, “If you and I working together, along with the personal troops left by the ruler and the power of the various tribes, then 500 thousand troops are enough to stabilize the situation. Even if those fellows work together, it is difficult to shake. They are probably relying on those few hidden sects. Who knows who is going to come, let’s hope they disappoint us…”

When Qiu Wei heard that he frowned slightly. He was filled with worry. Hu Qianqiu’s tone, on the other hand, was relaxed like he didn’t care about the enemy ahead of them.

He wanted to remind a few words such that he wouldn’t underestimate the enemy, but he was also afraid he might lower his spirits. In his mind, this fellow was on two sides and might give up on the prince for the iron tiger race.

However, after hesitating, Qiu Wei still decided to be direct. Although this Hu Qianqiu was unsettled before, since the beginning, he was an honest person. The words he said, even if his entire race was destroyed he wouldn’t go back on it. He had also fought with tens of Xuanwu ancestors under Zong Weiran and only Hu Qianqiu and that Chai Yuan were people he trusted.

“Brother Hu, although this Gantian Mountain City is under our control, 5/8 of the city gates are under those 3 and they are all facing the east. Moreover, the Zhenshan Pass 50 miles away was under Zong Shiyuan’s army…”

As he said that, worry appeared in his eyes. Zhenshan Pass was in the northeast direction of Gantian Mountain. Because of the dangerous situation, it was a hugely important pass. It was only connected with an iron giant bridge and below it was a 38 thousand feet wide moat, Ying wind blowing and numerous ghosts and devilish things were gathered. Even Windrider and cloud stepping foals which could step on air were unable to pass.

The people defending there was a 7 meridian Xuanwu ancestor expert. He was famous and he was one of the strongest helpers of Zong Shiyuan.

If they were blocked at this place, they would need 1700 miles more of a journey to go around it.

Even riding on the best Windrider foals it would take one more day. Who knows whether or not the prince could make it in time.

That Hu Qianqiu didn’t care at all, laughing out loud,” Qiu Wei you don’t have to worry that much. You haven’t seen the prince, he is different, how can the prince 3 years later be the same as 3 years before? He definitely won’t disappoint you. If he can’t safely pass a small Zhenshan Pass, then he isn’t fit for the Monster king position!”

Qiu Wei was startled and slightly stunned. Just as he was about to ask Hu Qianqiu where his confidence came from, at the corner of his eye, he saw a bunch of people. They looked over down into that direction, only to see the city gates at the north suddenly open and a bunch of cavalry surging in. There were only 30 cavalry, all dressed in white shirts. However, the aura they gave off was like a thousand men army.

The 2 of them couldn’t help but frown and exchange glances with one another. They knew that the person Zong Yang had invited had arrived.
