He was dazzled. Then, he found out that the place he was at was changed.
Looking around, Zong Shou realized that the place he was standing were endless plains.
Everywhere were large patches of gold yellow malt beside it was a large river. This should be a large distance away from Gantian Mountain City. He couldn’t even see the outline of the city from this distance.
There was no one around him and no trace of that senior Brother Wei at all. He couldn’t feel any aura and didn’t know where that person was at exactly.
“Blinking to thousand miles? Saint realm experts are amazing!”
Zong Shou’s eyes constricted. Then, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. Sighing to himself, who knows when he would be able to reach such a realm?
However where exactly was this place?
Using the one energy sword in his soul to sense slightly. He felt that the energy of the king path here was reduced by a huge 30%, showing signs of disappearing.
“So it means that I should still be within Gantian Mountain, 200 miles away from Gantian City!”
He looked up into the stars, in just half a breath he was startled, “isn’t this the place where I sensed that the ascended ancestor was hiding in? So that’s what’s happening…”
Pretty much instantly Zong Shou understood that he was probably being used as bait by that common people path revered one.
He couldn’t help but rub his temple like he had a headache. What a helpless matter.
He knew that even if he wanted to retreat to Gantian mountain city, he had no way to do so. Zong Shou decides to just walk along the shore of the river, leisurely enjoying the night scenery of the area.
Although there was an enemy beside him, he still looked extremely relaxed. However, just a moment later, he felt an extremely strong intent sweep over him.
That person didn’t expect that Zong Shou would appear here, showing some hesitation. He carefully observed at the side for a moment before he stopped hiding. Without any sign and sound, he appeared beside the river, less than a hundred steps away from Zong Shou.
From the voice, he looked around 30 plus. His body was covered in a black mist such that one couldn’t see his looks. Only revealing a pair of eyes gazing coldly over with a questioning intent, “You are Gantian Mountain City lord Zong Shou? Why did you come here in the dead of night?”
Zong Shou was instantly placed into a spot, this was a real tough one to reply. He also felt pity for the person in front of him.
“If I say someone casually threw me over to walk around casually and act as fish bait for someone to come out, would you believe me?”
Seeing that black fog person laugh coldly, his eyes revealing a cold mocking color, Zong Shou knew that he didn’t believe him fully. He originally wasn’t willing to speak with that person. However, Wei Xu, for some reason, also didn’t appear. Helplessly, he could only think of ways to speak more to drag more time.
Did he get sold by this revered one? Using the knife of others to get rid of him? Speaking of which, he had only kowtowed once and wasn’t officially in the sect.
He felt that it wasn’t right. With the methods of a Saint realm expert, why did he have to do so much to deal with him?
Sighing slightly, Zong Shou pressed on the nine qilin sword with his hand, turning around and saying, “I came here in the night naturally to kill someone! Who are you, why are you spying on me?”
The dragon energy in the one energy sword instantly activated, an aura only slightly weaker than this ascended ancestor was formed. A sword aura that seemed to be able to accept mountains and rivers also gathered around Zong Shou’s body.
Within a hundred feet around, the area protruded and caved in.
The eyes of that black fog person turned sharp, the fog around him also started to boil.
“King path secret technique! Mountain and river sword intent! How outstanding! As expected from Zong Weiran’s Son! No wonder you dare to come out to here alone. Hehe, the rumors of Gantian Mountain City are really to misdirect people. I just knew. How could a person who rules over all the races be trash? It seems like my two juniors brothers and old Mi died in your hands?”
“That’s right!”
Zong Shou’s lips curled up, continuing to find of a way to delay time, “so you are from the Demon Mountain Sect? I heard that roughly 20 years ago your Sect was attacked by the 7 large sects of The Central Continent to try to wipe you all out. Till date that Tailing Sect is still on your tail, asking for information all around. In terms of being courageous, that’s you. The flame just started burning a little and you dared to run out.”
A fierce glow flashed in that man’s eyes once more. He wanted to attack but he hesitated a little.
Looking around, his soul intent was like a wave. It wrapped out all about. It wasn’t until he confirmed that there were no grade 9 spiritual grandmasters or true image spirit masters that he laughed coldly, “So What? Do you think you can get out of this place alive?”
With just one step forwards, an immeasurably strong energy with a bit of deceitfulness suddenly rose up.
Zong Shou continued to use the mountain and rivers but this person could get around it without obstruction.
He removed Zong Shou’s pressure layer by layer and even used it as his own.
When he stepped forwards the 2nd step, even the king energy within Zong Shou’s one energy sword was being compressed into a ball.
The black fog image was observing Zong Shou. When he saw that Zong Shou’s eyes didn’t show any panic and fear, he was deep in thought. In his chest, he couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed and a little confused. Did this person have someone nearby? His voice was still dark and serious, filled with disdain, “How unfortunate! You are so young. Your talents are unparalleled but you are too arrogant. You really think that grasping a bit of the mountain and river sword intent, holding the power of a country you can stand against ascended experts? You really underestimate the world…”
Zong Shou seemed to have awakened from deep thought, “This should be the speed sword intent, but it is slightly different. No! It should be called the demon sunflower sword intent. You can’t have children right?”
The black fog man’s face instantly twisted. However, his heart didn’t shake. He still slowly and casually stepped forwards like one was just strolling, slowly walking forwards. He scoffed coldly, “Continue talking like this. I was originally waiting for my master to inform me after he captured the Father and Daughter of Xuan Mountain City before I act on you. Since you ran out yourself, that saves a lot of my effort…”
Before he finished, Zong Shou’s eyes instantly constricted. His heart was also shocked. He knew that this Demon Mountain Sect would take revenge on him and he also knew that they would be unscrupulous.
However, he didn’t expect that they wouldn’t look for him but actually went to harm what seemed like the strongest on the surface—Xuanyuan Yiren and Xuanyuan Tong.
He remembered that 2 days ago Ruoshui had informed him that Xuanyuan Tong had stepped into the ascended realm. Using the strength of the city. he should temporarily be okay.
However, fury rose up in his chest, violent energy surging. In the last life, Zong Shou spent his days alone with no one around him. It was why he did things as he wished with totally no worries. It was why he never bothered about his life or death.
Now he unknowingly realized that the greatest difference from before was that in this life he had people he cared about.
Thinking about that, his consciousness was filled with killing intent towards that man. The killing intent rose, prying away at his hair. The ends of his hair were slowly turning grey.
Bits of death energy started to gather. If Wei Xu didn’t attack, then in this battle, only the last few strokes of the Styx river death sword, the self-sacrifice techniques could allow him to win this ascended expert.
That black fog male was delighted, still expressionless as he stepped forwards, tens of feet away from Zong Shou. At this moment, because of his words, Zong Shou’s heart was obviously shaken.
Tens of feet, in just an instant, he could take this kid down. The demon sunflower sword was so quick that even grandmaster level experts couldn’t react!
A hard to catch black sword had pretty much silently pierced out from the black fog. It was extremely swift, with just a flash it appeared in front of Zong Shou.
However before it stabbed into Zong Shou’s body, he heard a dense “bo” sound. The black fog person only felt like the sword in his hand had stabbed into an iron wall.
If that was the only thing, then he didn’t need to care much. He didn’t bother about pure defensive spells. He had the confidence to split anything with his sword!
However, in the next instance, he only felt a huge strength no weaker than him colliding back. Causing that sharp black sword to instantly twist. Then, his entire person was forcefully repelled, unable to reject and block that strength at all.
Looking forward once more, he only saw that Zong Shou’s expression was dark and cold, behind him stood a scholarly dressed teen. He was smiling warmly and elegantly at him, “finally, what a long wait.”
He took a look at Zong Shou, his tone showing praise, “Your acting skills are good! With what happened today, we have the moral high ground. Since this person attacked, even if the few demon heads of the Demon sect show themselves, they won’t be able to protect this Demon Mountain Sect. However, it’s best if you use less of this Styx river death sword…”
He did a light tap on Zong Shou’s shoulder making the death energy instantly dissipate. Zong Shou’s eyes also turned clear along with it.
The black fog man’s body stumbled as he retreated a hundred steps out before stopping. He was dumbfounded. Then, he felt the cold gaze of the scholarly dressed teen on him.
“You dare to attack the core disciple of my common people path, how bold!”
When his voice rang out, the night sky seemed to turn into daytime. That moon in the sky disappeared and suddenly the sun hung high in the air, it’s rays burning.
With just one look, the black fog man instantly panicked. It was just night time a moment ago. It was impossible to turn into noon in just a breath.
He had only seen such methods in records from the cloud desolate era. And normally people with such ability all stepped into the celestial path and they were at high realms!
This person in front of him was actually on the celestial path!
“Controlling the heavens and changing the earth!”
Pretty much without thinking, that black fog person tried to flee. However, he heard a soft giggle as a giant strength covered him, causing his body to instantly root to the ground.
