Chapter 677: Sin Not To Fight
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“To think he actually won after being forced into such a situation...”
On one of the slightly further away mountain peaks of the Seven Cloud Mountain, Zhao Yanran was muttering in shock.
Thousands, tens of thousands of Night Demons had their heads cut off in an instant.
Before this, they could totally bully their opponents, but now they had no ability to fight back.
Corpses laid all over, blood flowed like a river beneath the mountain.
Although those Grade-4 Night Demons were running, but under the blistering sun they weren’t as swift as usual.
They were in an extremely tough situation. From her perspective, they weren’t far away from death.
The 300,000 Cavalry that Zong Yuan controlled had split into three. They pierced forward and directly cut off the retreat path of the Night Demons.
...Even if they could flee, where could they go? East of here was the Cloud Ocean. The only path west was under Gantian Mountain control and it had been blown apart.
The only difference was dying early or dying later...
Xuan Yunlan was caressing her zither, playing the Qin King Formation Breaking Tune and the music spread through the mountains.
At this moment, the troops at the foot of the mountain had broken away from the range of her music so she stopped. Her fingers were bloody.
Each moment of the night she played this tune, the music spreading tens of miles around.
The Soul Calming Purification Tune could heal injuries and raise up their fighting spirit and morale.
She knew that its effects were minuscule but even if she used up all her internal energy she still didn’t give up. She just wanted to help Zong Shou out in some way...
At this moment, when she heard what Zhao Yanran said, she instantly laughed, “Why aren’t you happy that he won? I remembered that yesterday you were worried for an entire day. Great Senior Master has many plans and has so many great Generals supporting him so how could he really be forced to death?”
Zhao Yanran burst into a cold mocking laugh, Xuan Yunlan wasn’t worrying any less than her.
She didn’t retort, just looking toward the east in a daze.
“Using the mirage to defeat the enemy. That woman is quite smart. I underestimated her just now! That fellow’s eye for talent is so strong...”
She laughed, “After this battle, will our Great Great Senior Master be considered the Overlord of the east of the Cloud World?”
Xuan Yunlan was startled and entered a state of deep thought.
In just a short moment, she understood what Zhao Yanran meant.
Huizhou Island had a really important location. It was less than 19,000 miles away from the Central Continent and just 18,000 from the South Wind Cloud Continent.
If one used a quick ship, in just three to five days, one would be able to arrive.
In the nearly 30,000 miles, there were three of the Twelve Islands which were around.
The region would be comparable to Six States in the ancient time!
Just thinking about its size, it could be compared to one Donglin. Moreover, they had lots of mines and produce.
Most of them were in war and chaos now, the cities all merged together. Thinking about it, if Zong Shou was willing, no one could stop him to the east of the Cloud World.
Using the prestige from the destruction of the Night Demon army, in just a few years he could accept those few islands into his rule.
She couldn’t help but feel shocked. Gantian Mountain had unknowingly become such a huge pillar!
Zhao Yanran continued on, “Do you remember that to the south of the Central Continent there are dozens of barbaric countries who have a good relationship with us. Since Zong Shou is so strong, who knows what the Elders of the Sect would choose...”
The Central Continent was huge, even Great Shang couldn’t take it all under their rule.
At this moment, there were dozens of states on its southeast that were ruled by others.
Many strong people rose up there, however, rather than call them Barbaric Countries, they were more of Barbaric Tribes.
With so many tribes, the experts could cause people to yield and if one was weak, one could only join others. This was why people called them the Southern Barbarians...
It was similar to the tribal environment in ancient times but much crueler.
Killings didn’t stop the races and the battle for power was often really gory.
The Common People’s Path could only interfere in such a chaotic land.
During these 10,000 years, they also controlled some of them.
What was funny was that the Three Sects and Six Schools wanted to try that equality path. In the end, they made it into a mess and were forced to give up. Most of the disciples were in despair and focused on cultivation instead.
In the end, the conclusion they came to was that the barbarians weren’t smart enough and not suited for such methods.
Ancestor Xi Zi’s Grand Path could only be completed where civilization was prosperous.
This was why in the recent 2,000 years they had slowed down.
Thus, their powers grew strongly and many barbaric tribes saw them as their help and support.
However, the Barbaric Countries were all under their control.
Zong Shou was showing such invincible aura, his military might suppressing a world.
It was really tough to say what decision the Common People’s Path elders would choose...
Overlord of the Southeast?
Such thoughts instinctively spread in Xuan Yunlan’s mind. Her eyes constricted and she moved her hands to play out on the zither.
The clean music caused her to calm down once more.
“This isn’t something both of us can decide. Anyway, talking about this is a little too early...”
It was indeed so. To get the surrounding islands under his rule would take several years.
At this moment, there was also a strong country rising in the South Wind Cloud Continent. The Ruler was also a mighty Lord and wouldn’t easily yield to Zong Shou!
To take down the southeast and trample on the Cloud World, the Central Dynasty would be on high alert. Those many aristocratic families and sects wouldn’t sit still and do nothing either.
Currently, Gantian Mountain and Zong Shou still didn’t have enough strength to deal with them.
Only at this moment was his victory set. He such Commanders, Renbo and Zhang Huai and reliable Ministers like Qiuwei and Hu Qianqiu. How Long would it take for that day to arrive?
He looked down upon the top Generals and Commanders...
No more than five countries in the Cloud World were stronger than Gantian now.
In terms of war, only Great Shang could beat them!
“That’s true!”
Zhao Yanran shook her head and thought back to when she first saw Zong Shou. He was casually sitting on the Cloud Crossing Carriage.
At that time, she didn’t think that such a lazy person would become so amazing.
Comparing their achievements, she felt really annoyed...
Following this, she felt weird and looked toward Jingyin, asking curiously, “What are you looking at? It has been fifteen minutes.”
This nun who returned to normal life often kept silent so there was nothing surprising about it.
However, since a few minutes ago, when both Jia Mingluo and Zong Shou suddenly disappeared, she had been staring at the sky and not looked away once.
Even under that intense light and the change in the situation at the foot of the mountain, she still didn’t look away.
“Are you worried for Zong Shou? Did you fall for him?”
Zhao Yanran smiled, thinking that she guessed her thoughts, “No wonder! That fellow has the Nine Tail Sky Fox bloodline and you are so pure, it is weird if you are not charmed. Don’t worry, that fellow has so many trump cards. It might be tough to beat them but he will definitely survive, it won’t be so easy for him to be trapped.”
She hadn’t worried much about it, especially after the huge victory. Gantian Mountain’s strength was set and his King Path Martial Arts would at least increase by 20% in strength.
Where she looked, she saw Zong Yuan leading thousands of Blood Cloud Cavalry to rise into the air toward the black mist. The space which was locked down was also broken.
Jingyin flushed red and lowered her head.
She didn’t like him! As long as she brought back Zhao Yanran, she would be able to return to the Sect.
Following this, her eyes were filled with thick confusion.
Just now she felt that within the locked space there was a really terrifying aura.
Who knows who it came from but it felt really important to her, even more than her life...
Suddenly Xuan Yunlan spoke once more, “What a bright star...”
Zhao Yanran and Jingyin looked over once more.
They saw that in the north of the sky, a star was shining bright. It was extremely clear and eye-catching. Although it was noon, the sun was unable to block its glow.
Zhao Yanran recognized that it was the Alkaid Army Breaking Star...
She could feel that the starlight was resonating with the golden-armored woman on the mountain peak not far away.
Zhao Yanran couldn’t help but pout in disdain.
Resonating with Alkaid, Matchless Famous Commander?
※※※※
Outside of the chaotic space pillars, Jia Mingluo was swiftly fleeing between the spaces of the Spiritual River and the space gaps.
A few months ago when he stepped into the Cloud World, although he wasn’t high spirited, he was really ambitious.
However, just three months passed and he was forced to flee, fleeing in such a tragic manner.
The energy, the potential in his body was being forcefully squeezed by him to increase his speed.
Although he didn’t specifically scout using Spiritual Sense, he could feel that dangerous and extremely terrifying aura drawing closer and closer.
Till now he still couldn’t understand how that person could slash such a sword...
It was even stronger than the Night Demon Race’s greatest enemy Dari Rulai... Close to unlimited light...
Unlimited Light!
A thread of hope flashed in his eyes.
Although he lost, his limbs were broken and his wings destroyed.
But, if he brought this news back, he might still have a chance of rising up.
...Night Demon’s huge enemy, it was a sin not to fight!
The Saints within his race and his father wouldn’t allow such a person to live.
He wouldn’t allow another huge enemy to rise in the world.
As long as this news was verified, he could still be one of the Princes to inherit the throne.
