Chapter 954: Doubting The Ruler

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

For the people of the southwest?

Zhuang Yu was at a loss, his gaze became shaky.

Tanjing’s lips curled up in glee, “Under all this pressure, it would be tough for Zong Shou’s so-called Great Gan Saint Dynasty to not collapse. The moment his support falls, a lone tree will not stand. Even if Brother Zhuang goes all out for Great Gan, you will not be able to survive for long. So why bother? Why must you allow this southeast land to end up being destroyed?”

He said flatly, “My good friend Brother Hong has always been amazed by your commanding ability! If you are willing to change sides, Hong Jiuchen will definitely recommend you to Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty. In the future, if you are about to contribute enough, you might even become the head of this world. My Brother Hong just wants a place that accepts him and it might not have to be Yuanlian World…”

“Yuanlian World Head?”

Zhuang Yu’s breathing stopped. He then took in a deep breath and firmly shook his head.

“Brother Tan, stop! The Ruler treats me well and I won’t betray him…”

His tone was really sincere. Although Zong Shou used him and defended against him, he was really magnanimous and gave him power.

After all, Zong Shou handed the entire Yuanlian World over to him. Zong Shou also kept every single promise he made.

At this moment, Great Gan had not yet fallen to an irrecoverable state.

He was confident that with himself here, the southeast countries could forget about beating him on the battlefield.

“You are unwilling?”

Tanjing’s brow rose up in surprise. The depths of his eyes which were filled with disgust and mocking intent quickly disappeared.

“Commander Yu, you don’t need to be so firm and not leave any room for the future. Just think about it, even if you have some conditions, you can raise them. We will definitely make Commander Yu satisfied…”

His voice paused a moment. He seemed to have felt something, a Spiritual Light gathering in his eyes as he looked outside of the tent. He scoffed coldly.

“Some people are going to interrupt, so I guess this conversation can’t go on. Commander Yu, please consider it, I will take my leave! Oh right, if you are still anticipating that Blood Sword Monster Saint to return, then you can just give up. This person has a blood debt with the Taoist Faction and the Seven Saint Alliance won’t let him off easily either. There are people waiting outside to take his life! His life and death are not certain, but if you want to walk this path to the end, then there is really nothing I can say!”

After saying this, he broke into a laugh and stepped out into the void. In just an instant, he disappeared.

Right away, a beautiful and petite person appeared within.

She wore dark red armor and her aura was indiscernible. Killing aura was wrapped around her and her eyes were really sharp.

She looked into the tent and her brow furrowed. She directly asked Zhuang Yu, “Was that Tianfang Guild Tanjing?”

Zhuang Yu kept his sword, not hiding anything and nodding his head.

He felt a headache toward this woman in front of him. Although it was said that she was Zong Shou’s Senior Sister and was also one of his concubines, today she also grasped the Hidden Guards of Great Gan Celestial Dynasty.

Thinking about it for a moment, Zhuang Yu wasn’t discrete with his words, “Concubine has come to help me in time, I am really grateful!”

“I came late! It is my responsibility to protect your safety!”

Ruoshui shook her head, her hand that was holding the sword became even tighter.

She had fought dozens of battles along the way just to rush over here.

Although she went all out, she was still a step slower.

Luckily, Zhuang Yu was still perfectly fine, otherwise, who knows how badly the current situation in Yuanlian World would deteriorate?

“Moreover, Tanjing worries about my Sword path and my sword skills. There is no need to thank me!”

After saying that she wanted to leave.

Since Tanjing was already gone and Zhuang Yu was fine then there was no need for her to stay anymore.

Right as she was about to step out, Zhuang Yu opened his mouth and asked, “Concubine, aren’t you going to ask what Tanjing spoke to me about?”

She paused and then smiled, “I can guess a portion of it. However, my duty is just to protect you in the dark. As for what choice to make, it is up to you. The Ruler trusts you to care for the whole situation and he must have his reason for doing so. If you really let him down, Ruler won’t regret either. Moreover, I have confidence in both Ruler and you…”

Zhuang Yu was stunned and when he came back to his senses, Ruoshui’s body had disappeared from the tent.

After thinking for a long while, he laughed self-mockingly.

Trust? He was actually really tempted just now.

If this went on, who knows how much longer his faith would last?

However, if the Great Gan Ruler, his Ruler, didn’t manage to rush back…

※※※※

She used the power of the Xuan Shadow Carving to jump around in the outer region.

In just an hour, her body appeared beside a large Spaceship.

The so-called Xuan Shadow Carving was the subspecies of the ancient God Beast Yingyue. Its Spacetime Abilities were no lower than those of the Instant Space Dragons.

Where one’s Spiritual Sense could reach, she could jump to.

Speaking of which, this Protector Beast was something Zong Shou had obtained for her.

Although she didn’t spend a lot of effort to nurture it because she was lazy and so its combat strength didn’t increase, it was extremely familiar with the ability to teleport around space.

At this moment, there were a full 17 Spaceships in front of her, all of them lined up in an orderly manner.

At the start, when they arrived in Yuanlian World, Cloud World brought over 5 ships. Then, they sent another 3 to support. Along with their gains over the many battles, they managed to increase this to the current number.

However, they weren’t in a great state. The surfaces of all the warships were covered in holes. 2 of them were already severely damaged and riddled with battle-scars.

However, it was also thanks to these ships that prevented Xuanling Guild and Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty from being able to support Yuanlian World in an unrestrained manner.

If Zhuang Yu was using the strength of one man to maintain the balance of the southwest battlefield, then Shi Ruolan was doing the same in the outer region space.

Any Spaceship battle, even if they couldn’t win, Shi Ruolan would ensure that they wouldn’t lose!

Looking at the state of the Spaceships, a look of worry appeared in her eyes.

With a flash, she appeared in the flagship that Zong Shou had sat in.

When she entered the core area, she saw a handsome teen calmly sitting there.

He was covered in wounds that were looked extremely shocking. However, he was really calm and was quietly recovering.

Shi Ruolan was really focused and excitedly looking at the map in her hands.

This was the map of the outer region space that she drew during these 2 years.

Normal people wouldn’t be able to understand, only Spirit Realm and above cultivators who went to the outer region could.

Ruoshui shook her head and then curiously looked at the handsome teen.

Before she could ask, Shi Ruolan pouted, “He fought with someone in the outer region and fortunately he didn’t die. He only managed to survive by running over here. This fellow is really amazing, no wonder he is as famous as Brother to be listed as one of the Six Pinnacle Swords. To be able to kill 6 Celestial Realm Experts all by himself and not suffer any serious injuries, retreating safely…”

She wasn’t afraid that her words were heard by Feng Taiji. Her voice was marked with a gloating tone, “However, he really knows how to push himself to the limit! He knows they have many people there and they would definitely ambush, but he still headed over anyway. For him to be injured so badly, he really deserves it.”

Ruoshui didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she paid close attention to Feng Taiji.

His injuries weren’t heavy. The sword wounds looked tragic but they weren’t too deep. It was obvious that the battle was within his control.

She heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, Feng Taiji was one of the pillars of the Great Gan Celestial Dynasty in Yuanlian World.

When Zifang was in the Cloud World, he could suppress his cultivation to protect the Buddhist Faction. At this moment, he had nothing to worry about and entered the Celestial Realm but as he didn’t merge Spirit with Martial Art, his combat strength couldn’t be compared to this Sword Sect top talent.

If they faced danger, only this person had the chance to salvage the situation for them.

“I was rash and didn’t think much and just headed over. I am really sorry. However, to be praised by Miss Ruolan, it is really my honor…”

Feng Taiji suddenly opened his eyes, they were shining brightly like he wasn’t injured at all. He said helplessly, “However, if we don’t beat them up viciously, they will only become more unrestrained and arrogant! Which was why even if I know that there is a trap, I still need to take this risk!”

His words were firm.

They made Ruoshui slightly distracted, she felt that right now Feng Taiji was an extremely sharp sword. Just one look at him and one would felt terrified.

A year ago, this person was not like this. But now, Feng Taiji was the purest swordsman.

Ruoshui broke into a laugh. How was Feng Taiji the only one who changed?

Wasn’t she the same?

Losing the huge tree that was Zong Shou to shield them from storms and rain, they were able to grow and hold up this sky alone.

She thought back to how if she had such training, maybe even without using that pill, she would still be able to merge Spirit and Martial Arts into one before Celestial Realm.

When the time came, she could have helped Zong Shou even more.

The moment such a thought rose up, she suppressed it. What was the point about thinking about all of this?

Just as she was distracted by these thoughts, Feng Taiji’s expression suddenly turned solemn.

“Then, did Zhuang Yu waver? Do you think Tanjing managed to persuade him?”

Her gaze also turned serious.

“Probably not! Commander Yu still has hope in Ruler. He won’t easily betray him. However, if the situation continues to deteriorate and if Tanjing threatens him with the billions of people in the southwest, then that might be a different case.”

Zhuang Yu was loyal to Zong Shou not because he was sincere and truly loyal, but because of his own goals and his firmness toward Yuanlian World.

If that hope collapsed, then the outcome would be really unpredictable.

She hesitated a little before saying, “Before Ruler left, he said that if we have really no choice, then Sword Sect and Buddhist Faction can pull out. He said he won’t blame you two…”

Feng Taiji’s brow rose up and he laughed without caring much, “I have always had full faith in the invincible Blood Sword Monster Ruler of the Cloud World! Why is it that the people by his side are the ones with no confidence? Don’t worry, it is far from a lost cause. Just wait!”
