Battle of Peng City?

Zong Shou’s eyes squinted as he thought back to the history books that he had read before.

The Han King was standing in the air, leading millions of troops to invade Chu to occupy Chu land. In the end this Xiangchu overlord led thirty thousand iron cavalry to surge back to the country. During the battle of Peng City he fought against a majority, breaking the Han army and trapped the Han King in Xingyang.

They were at a standstill for a year but in the end due to the rations in the city being used up, the Han King was forced to escape.

Following this, he gathered his remaining troops and defeated Chu general Cao Jiu, facing off against the Chu army in Guangwu. This forced the Xiangchu Overlord to sign an alliance with the Han King.

If one talked of the Xiang King’s life regret, it would be not being able to slay the Han Emperor before he was able to rise up.

Moreover, he was unable to slay him by his halberd during this Peng City battle!

Looking at his dressing, he was indeed in a purple king robe. He waved his hands, rotating his true Qi, he was filled up with energy. He didn’t have much cultivation but he had the ability to shake mountains.

Zong Shou couldn’t be more familiar with such a feeling. It was the King Path martial arts!

Speaking of which, did he replace the Han King?

Or did the remnant soul of the Xiang King mistake him as that person?

The scenes in front of him were within Xingyang? No, it should be Guangwu!

Interestingly, the personality of the Xiang King was what history books really mentioned. He was really arrogant.

Even at such a time he wasn’t willing to take advantage of him. In the battle of Guangwu, both sides were on the same level and had the same strength.

Suddenly, he heard the roar of a baby beast to his side. It was Xiaori who was anxious and appeared as if warning him.

If he was willing he could use Qilin and the Illusionary Heart Mirror to struggle free from this illusion.

However how was he someone who would avoid a battle? He knew that he didn’t have the same dominance as the Xiang King.

But if he was in front of a battle, he wouldn’t feel afraid nor would he flee from it!

Xiangchu Overlord? He wanted to test out how the halberd of this person to see whether they were as unrivaled as the rumors said!

Looking around, only to see that the hundreds of thousands of people around were indeed the elite of the elites.

As expected from the Cloud Desolate Era end-time period. The four hundred thousand troops here might not be as strong as the Xiang Family iron cavalry on the other side but they were all elite troops above Grade Four!

A few of the square formations even reached Grade 5!

He understood the strength of the troops like the back of his hand. Moments later Zong Shou heard the voice of a middle-aged man beside him.

“Your highness, Chu army is sieging, Guangwu is broken and the Xiang King is like a tiger. Your Highness, please lead the lines to raise their morale!”

Looking back, it was a delicate and gentle scholar who stood behind him.

Was this person Zhang Liang? Why did he look similar to Zhang Huai?

His brows rose in doubt before he looked back to the front of the formation. Then he laughed out, jumping off the broken city walls. With a thought there was one Grade Seven mount that appeared which he rode to the front.

Pretty much at the same time, Kong Yao who was tens of halls away, her brows rose. She flew up from her room, turning into a white light and charging into the sky.

Although Zong Shou arranged her there, he didn’t restrict her nor bind her cultivation and internal energy.

Moments later, she was in front of Chongzheng hall.

Only to see that Xuanyuan Yiren and Ruoshui had arrived. Their faces both ashen white.

They looked up, only to see Zong Shou sitting on a Purple Gold Throne, closing his eyes and smiling.

His body was burning a dark blue soul fire. His brows also gave out a sharp intent which bore down on everyone.

It was like he was currently on a battlefield, and his fighting intent rose!

When Yiren saw that she arrived, she calmed down. It wasn’t that she felt that Kong Yao had any other method to solve it.

Only she felt that having one more companion would reduce the fear and terror in her heart.

“Avici Throne?”

Kong Yao’s eyes glanced at the Purple Gold Throne and she was shocked.

So it was this item. No wonder that day when she spoke to Kongxu she could sense something weird.

Like a tiger growing wings, icing on the cake…

No wonder even the Illusionary Heart Mirror couldn’t suppress him!

He looked at Zong Shou who was within the dark soul flames, only to see that behind his head there were layers of spiritual light shining.

That puppy was quietly staying on his shoulder, his body also burning flames but they were all red in color.

Kong Yao took a look and knew that Zong Shou was actually fine. Although he was trapped by a devilish item, he could enter and retreat if he wanted, able to pull out at any time.

Her brow furrowed, who knows whether she felt disappointed or if she was relaxed. Her tight senses loosened up.

She looked to the side to Xuanyuan Yiren, at her face which looked worried. Her brow furrowed and she said with a cold tone, “He is fine, with the Illusionary Heart Mirror as long as he doesn’t lose himself, that devilish thing can’t do anything to him. Looking at his situation, he probably wants to totally suppress the vengeful spirit within the Avici Throne…”

She said these words not because she had already submitted to Zong Shou’s strength, but only because she saw that Xuanyuan Yiren was so worried. This woman seemed like a nice person.

As expected, the worry in her eyes disappeared, then she frowned once more, “Avici Throne?”

“Yeah!”

Kong Yao said with no expression, her tone was still calm without any fluctuation, “I guess that it should be the Xiang King remnant soul within!”

The domineering energy that spread was not something that Zong Shou could own!

Thinking about it, it could only belong to the person who owned the throne…

When Xuanyuan Yiren heard this, she instantly exclaimed in shock.

Following this, Kong Yao kept silent and didn’t speak. Looking at the teen on the throne, she felt impressed.

He knew that it was the Xiang King and he could retreat but he still chose to fight the battle.

With this great resoluteness, it was no wonder that he was able to unify Donglin in such a short time, pretty much having no opponent in the Cloud World.

※※※※

Within the Emperor Capital City, a residence south of the city… Within a small reading room in the back garden…

A few old men and two teens were frowning as they looked in front of them.

On a normal square table was a message talisman. There was nothing special about it. If one had to point out anything special, it would be that the talisman came from Donglin Cloud continent which was tens of thousands of miles away.

Flying for one day and one night, it arrived within the reading room one hour ago. It caused the few people who rushed over to become silent.

“The time the talisman was sent was a day ago. I think Senior Brother’s severed arm will be on the way. At most a month later it will arrive in our Emperor Capital!”

“Even the best cloud ships would take one to five months to come to go back and forth. The Highness however mentioned that if he didn’t see Third Brother a month later he would slice off Xu’er’s left arm…”
