Chapter 1038: Sword Sect Visit
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Within the world, naturally everyone saw it. Apart from Zong Shou, everyone had serious expressions on their faces.
Wei Xu laughed bitterly, “It seems like Zhu Zi isn’t willing to take this lying down. Because of Common People’s Path, we dragged down Junior Brother.”
“Enemy of the Confucians, he is telling all Confucians to attack you. Zhu Zi really is vicious.”
Zong Shou shook his head. He had expected Zhu Zi’s reaction when he grasped the Common People’s Seven Swords and he was already mentally prepared.
“It is okay. A few years ago, when I returned to the Cloud World, I told Yao’er. I said that if Great Gan wanted to solidify the southeast land, we would have to have a good battle with Great Shang. This battle would happen sooner or later, just that it was brought forwards a little earlier.”
Great Gan moved into the southeast barbarian lands of the Central Cloud Continent. Although they won all battles and pretty much swept all the barbarians there, Great Shang didn’t react. Emperor Yuanchen couldn’t just sit still and watch Great Gan smoothly swallow it up and become a huge problem.
Although each of them dealt with their own business, they still found trouble with one another. Different races sowed chaos, asking for weapons in the dark. Sometimes they might have even directly sent troops.
Such that the newly occupied Great Gan land was unable to have any piece.
After all, it was the Central Cloud Continent’s top nation which had some prestige in the south, its prestige and ability to summon troops was not lacking.
If Great Gan wanted to gain a stable footing, it would have to wipe out this part of Great Shang’s prestige. Only then could it truly suppress the barbarians and even send troops into the mid plains...
Moreover, he had already slain the 300,000 Dao Soldiers of Great Shang with one sword. It wasn’t that the current Great Gan had no chance of winning, but that they even had a big chance.
As for the enemy of the Confucians, he didn’t really care about that. Anyway, Great Gan ruled all barbarian lands and there were really few Confucians there.
The people present weren’t truly worried, they just felt guilty. After all, a war was just a small matter. Moreover, Zong Shou had already sacrificed enough for the Common People’s Vast Habitat.
At this moment, when he heard what Zong Shou said, he heaved a sigh of relief. He then looked weirdly towards that tired puppy which was resting on Zong Shou’s shoulder.
Yuanjing and Xuanshuang both had weird expressions, their brows rising up. The Saint King descended on this world but was recognized as the Enemy of the Confucians. Zhu Zi was really stupid.
Xiuguan said, “End Realm Saint Venerables probably won’t participate in this battle, but we still have to prepare just in case. Since it is already time for the Common People’s Vast Habitat, then the Seven Swords don’t need to continue protecting within the Vast Habitat. You can take the formation away along with Wei Xu and the others. The 50,000 Common People’s Xuan Dragon Warriors will also rush to the south in 10 days.
Since Zong Shou had already made clear his relationship with Common People’s Path, then it was right if Common People’s Path directly interfered with Great Gan matters.
Zong Shou’s brow rose up. With the Common People’s Seven Swords suppressing, it would naturally be the best. It would clear all possibility of End Realm Saint Venerables interfering in this battle.
With the strength of the Common People’s Sword Formation, even outside of the Vast Habitat, it would be able to restrict one End Realm Expert.
Wei Xu himself was also an End Realm Saint Venerable.
When he heard the last sentence, he found it a little inappropriate.
He wanted to reject but then Wei Xu said, “If Great Shang Emperor comes personally, he will recruit the various troops from the vassal states for this war.”
Zong Shou was stunned and then his heart sunk slightly. He did forget about the vassal states and the various private troops.
Speaking of which, this war matter was far from as simple as he had expected.
Calculating, there was at least a six to seven times soldier difference. They were still at an enormous disadvantage...
The Dao Soldiers... Great Gan needed to have an expansion in that aspect.
They only had around 60,000 Grade Four Dao Soldiers.
For Great Shang, the various Vassal States, and the aristocratic families, even if they kept some strength the amount of Dao Soldiers, they could mobilize over 200,000.
He couldn’t help but sigh. This battle really came at the wrong time.
However, it might be the best time too. Great Shang was 10 times stronger than Great Gan. A few years later, who knows how strong they would get? With the intelligence of Emperor Yuanchen, he might be able to help them recover.
He was originally planning to strengthen the inside and clean out the wilderness, to slowly wither down Great Shang. To crush Great Shang troops in the south and drag them until they were exhausted and their country borders were plunged in chaos.
The south barbarian land was really chaotic and millions died. Great Gan couldn’t just back out because of that.
Feeling pain for a short while was better than a long while. They needed to make Great Shang feel pain in one battle such that they can only turn back, only then could the south be at peace.
However, looking at things now, he had miscalculated.
After that discussion, Zong Shou was really distracted and stopped worrying about what the other people were talking about.
It was just some gratitude towards Aokun and Dragon Shadow. Then, was the compensation to the fallen disciples and the rebuilding of the Vast Habitat.
“The Spiritual Wave is about to rise, we were originally planning to sit still and watch the world change to wait for a chance. However, not with Yuanjing and Xuanshuang obtaining End Realm. Wei Xu was fortunate enough to pass his tribulation today. Although we aren’t at our strongest, we have the power to fight. However, we have also become the target of everyone else. Even if we don’t do anything, they will still plot against us. The reason why I told you all these secrets was because I want all of you to be careful.”
That was the only thing Zong Shou paid attention to, he didn’t care about anything else.
In just four hours, everyone scattered. Zong Shou was anxious and wanted to head right back to Gantian Mountain.
He hadn’t seen Xuanyuan Yiren and Kong Yao in a few years and his own kid. He had missed them really badly.
The dozens of days since he had been back, he had been suppressing that feeling. Now he was unable to do so anymore.
However, before he returned, there was still a puppy he had to deal with.
Since Zong Shou rejected it from entering his Soul Ocean, Xiaori was really annoyed, biting and scratching him to show unhappiness.
When it was exasperated, it would even bite his sleeves.
“Entering the White Hope Dharma can help you prove the Dao?”
“If you are late, you won’t be able to beat it? That Black Qilin? You weren’t its opponent at the start okay? This concerns life and death.”
“You aren’t afraid of evil energy around you and the risk of dying? You really are ignorant!”
“Think about it carefully, in a dozen years, Great Gan might be wiped out. At that time, how would there be King Path Energy for you to absorb? I might also be the worst and most violent Ruler in history...”
The Confucian Faction had long called him an Ignorant Ruler.
He didn’t really hesitate much, Xiaori was just too annoying, and Zong Shou decided to put it back it into his Soul Ocean.
However, before he was able to see any changes, a Common People’s Path disciple sent news.
“Sword Sect Sect Head came to visit?”
