Chapter 282 Junior Brother Zong Shou

Translator: Exodus Tales | Editor: Exodus Tales

Looking on, as Ren Bo left the hall, Zong Shou entered deep thought and talked about Ren Bo’s warning before he left.

The cloud ocean hunting concerned the income of Gantian Mountain City as well as the number of experts that they are able to attract. For example, Yunxia Mountain, Blazing Flame Mountain, and Taoyun City wouldn’t give up on this chance to suppress Gantian Mountain City.

Moreover, there was Tiegang Hall. Unless Zong Shou came up with it from his own pockets, the country treasury didn’t have money to do so.

They looked in front, stunned at another huge stack of beast leather. His gaze was unfocused.

He didn’t want to deal with it, but he knew that there were many documents within that he had to settle as early as possible.

It was really tiring being this monster king. He was really looking forward to dealing with all the matters in the next few months and relieving himself of the responsibility.

The curtain behind shook a little as Xuan Yunlan walked out from inside. Then she bowed towards Zong Shou in gratitude, “Thank you, ruler. I, Yunlan, cannot thank you enough. I will definitely keep our 3-month agreement!”

Zong Shou waved his hand listlessly as he opened one of the documents in front of him.

Just as he was about to make notes on it, there was a clean and crisp laugh that attracted the soul spreading into the room. “So late at night and still not forgetting about administrative work. You’re actually so hard working. I don’t know why you want to go to the cloud ocean to hunt a month later? You don’t know that enemies outside of Gantian Mountain are eyeing you.”

Zong Shou’s heart jolted, thinking to himself that they finally came. Xuan Yunlan also couldn’t leave it time, her eyes opened wide as she looked outside of the window at a loss.

In the next moment, a male stepped into the room from the main door. The guards at the sides were like statues, unable to react at all.

Chuxue and Ruoshui who were standing behind Zong Shou first panicked. It wasn’t until they saw Zhao Yanran behind that person did they calm down.

Xuan Yunlan didn’t know what was happening. She recognized this woman who was from seven spirit sect, the same school as her. But what was the identity of this guy?

“I have no choice, Gantian Mountain finances are withering up. The arrow is on the bow and has to be fired. Because of that reason I had to draw him out.”

Zong Shou thought about it for a moment and placed the brush in his hand down. He stood in front of the table and did a Junior now, using words to replace his speech, “How should junior greet you?”

He didn’t dare to show any disrespect. To make the Gantian mountain city dragon energy hide, one should not only be at the celestial realm. It was a realm he didn’t reach in his last life.

The man in scholarly attire sat in a chair at the side without any courtesy at all, waving his sleeves, carrying up Zong Shou’s body, “You are the ruler of a country, there’s no need to be too polite. As for myself, I’m the ruler of the common people path. As for what you should call me, this is a little difficult for me...”

Zong Shou’s eyes instantly constricted, finally revealing a look of surprise.

He thought that the person who would come would either be the Wujue Villa head Yan Fan or that Taiyuan Sect leader, or it would be the elders of these 2 sects.

He really didn’t expect the person to actually be the revered one from the common people path.

He had heard that this person before the god-emperor era was a Saint realm expert.

Martial cultivators and spiritual masters that stepped through the gates of the celestial realm would be the spiritual realm, celestial realm, god realm, saint realm, end realm, and true realm. These were the 6 big realms.

For the end realm and true realm, legend had it that there were just 3-5 people. The true peak of cultivation was rarely seen.

Be it ten thousand years ago in the cloud desolate era or in the various worlds, a saint level expert was pretty much invincible.

But based on what he knew, those people should have left this world and started to roam the endless void.

If experts like this came to the cloud world before the spiritual wave rose up, they would be suppressed instead.

Their skill would at least drop by 99%. If there were enough grade 9 experts, they could even claim their lives!

This was why it didn’t matter if one was a martial cultivator or spiritual cultivator. Once they entered the celestial path, they would try their best to escape from this world.

Who knows whether or not this person took the risk to return because of his matter? Should he feel proud because of himself?

That teen hesitated for a moment before he made his mind, “I am Wei Xu. In the future, you can call me senior Brother Wei!”

Not only was Zhao Yanran startled, but Xuan Yunlan at the side was also astonished. She couldn’t even speak.

At first, when she heard that this teen was actually the revered one, she nearly lost her senses. At this moment, when she heard that, she nearly lost her thinking ability.

Her heart was like a wave. However, her expression was still okay. As for Zhao Yanran, her face was totally dejected and depressed.

His Junior brother... In terms of seniority, did she have to call this kid great great great great great great senior master? Last time, she had always seen him as a junior Brother.

Zong Shou exclaimed, looking stunned at the person in front of him. So it seems like he could be on the same seniority of this person of 8 thousand years old?

No matter how bold he was, in front of such a person, he didn’t dare to casually say out the words Senior Brother.

He couldn’t act dumb either so he formed a few words using spiritual energy, “How can I accept that? I really don’t dare!”

“You don’t dare and not don’t want. So you are willing to join my common people path?”

Wei Xu revealed a satisfied expression, “With your talents, putting you in Tailing Sect will just be wasting your time. I originally wanted to personally take you as a disciple, but if I snatched you, Taiyuan Sect and those clowns will blame me for being unfair. Even my few senior brothers will blame me. Which was why I’m taking you as a disciple on behalf of a senior master that has already become immortal. She could be considered related to Taiyuan Sect. I remember she always had a wish which was for me to find a disciple to take over her mantle...”

Zong Shou was originally really happy and delighted. But when he heard that his master had already become immortal, he felt bitter in his heart. The so-called becoming immortal was just a nice way of saying that she had already died.

Doesn’t this mean he has no one to protect him? A kid without a Mother was useless, so was a kid without a master. As for what he said after, he didn’t pay attention. It wasn’t important.

However, when Wei Xu’s words landed, he saw a silent and colorless spiritual energy flow towards his throat.

Then, he was delighted and knew that he could open his mouth and speak.

As expected from a Saint realm expert. Just like that, without doing much, he helped him regain his speaking ability.

During these successive few days, the bone in his throat showed no signs of softening, making him really think that he would take months to a year to recover. Now at least a worry one of his was solved.

He didn’t hesitate at all, bowing heavily, “Zong Shou is willing to follow your honor’s orders!” He knew that since Wei Xu had decided then he himself didn’t have much room to reject, so why not be more willing. His heart was more curious. With his sword path one with the spirit talent, the sword sect should have been the higher possibility one. Who knows what kind of trade these 2 sects have done...

Then, Wei Xu seemed to have a telepathic connection with him as he lowered his head, “I’ll accept this on behalf of my senior master. In the future, you don’t need to do that. Zong Shou, at 14 years old you comprehended sword intent and used your own strength to break the barriers from heaven. I have observed your talent and personality and I think you are better than me in the past which was why I made you my senior master’s disciple. However, you shouldn’t be proud and satisfied because of this. Do you know why that sword sect lord gave you up? It’s because in central Continent there was an absolute talent. At 19 years old he entered the Xuanwu ancestor and return to sun realm peak. His sword path might not be as good as yours but his spirit and martial arts merged into one. One man and one sword and he killed a blazing lightning giant locust. This is why the sword sect lord traded with me for me to help him get that price of jade and give you to my common people path!”

Zong Shou instantly took in a deep breath. Although he was unhappy with what sword sect did, no one liked being abandoned. Even so, if there was a 19-year-old who had merged martial arts and spirit, then he totally admitted defeat.

He had to. This person was the top talent out of many talents. It was said that dual cultivators, the earlier one achieved that, the more chance they had to reach the saint realm.

In the last life, he didn’t reach that realm which was why he didn’t know whether or not it was real or fake. However, since there were such rumors and the sects places so much importance, then most probably they were true.

Chuxue scoffed coldly, she was feeling unfair but decided not to speak. So what if he did it at 19, her young master achieved it before he was 14!

Wei Xu looked at Zong Shou’s expression dim. He knew that the hit was a little too big. He shook his head, “You don’t need to bother so much anyways. I have high hopes for you. You might not be able to do it now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t in the future. Your comprehension and talent is favored by heaven so why bother to envy others? I wasn’t as good as you in the past but now not many people in the saint realm can beat me.”

He smiled as he asked, “Although you are under my senior master, he’s not here anymore. I also need to leave the cloud world and will return in tens of years. You need another person to teach you. Are you willing to leave with me now?”

Zong Shou was instantly hesitating, he wanted to immediately leave to chase the pinnacle of the sword path. But no matter what he was unable to do such actions like burning the bridge right after he crossed.

Thinking for a moment, he carefully asked, “Can senior Brother give me a few months? Let me deal with the city.”

When Wei Xu heard that, he looked fixed at Zong Shou until it caused his goosebumps to rise. He sighed regretfully, “I wanted to test whether or not you could give up everything. In the end, it was like this.”

Zong Shou’s heart jumped, thinking that Wei Xu had misunderstood. If he didn’t take over someone else’s body, he would abandon it without blinking.

Just as he was thinking things were going bad and he had missed out something, not knowing how he should explain. He heard Wei Xu’s tone changed, “Forget it! My intention was to directly bring you away, who cares if there is no Gantian mountain. However, when I entered I realized your management ability is no weaker than saint rulers. It is a waste not to cultivate emperor path secret techniques. You used your second soul, sword to replace the body. This idea is not bad. I will give you a gift as sort of a present for joining the sect...”

Then he smiled, “I have many enemies here in the cloud world and can’t spend too much time here. Before I leave, I will help deal with those small problems. To let junior Brother have no problems and worries. Rise!”

With a wave of his sleeves, an astral wind surged in this warm hall. In just a short moment there was no sign of Zong Shou in the room.
