Divine Brilliance

As for exactly what the good fortune that Zong Ling referred to was, he didn’t say, directly walking across and sitting down in a suite not far away.

Huang Xiao looked into Yin Yang’s eyes and said, “That Purple Lightning Spear originally came over to kill the Prince. However, Brother Yin needs to be careful. Do you know that six days ago, that guy from Yunxia Mountain ordered his two thousand Fire Wolf cavalry to move into Dongwei Mountain?”

Yin Yang’s eyes turned cold, slightly nodding his head as sort of a reply. He didn’t show that he believed him, but also didn’t say that he didn’t.

Zong Shou had expected, the situation of Gantian Mountain did indeed change.

Dongwei Mountain was the name of a place located west of Donglin Cloud Continent. It was within 3700 miles of Gantian Mountain, and not only was it a strategic point, but it was also really close to the Gantian Mountain-controlled monster race Ancient Crane City. If one rode on Windrider Foals, it would only take two hours to arrive.

Moreover, that Fire Wolf cavalry was famous within Donglin Cloud Continent. News had it that their weakest member was at Grade Five Martial Master level, while there were hundreds of Mythic Masters made up of the young teens of the Fire Wolf race, born with the innate talent of controlling fire. They were one of the most elite powers of Yunxia Mountain.

As for the specific situation, Zong Shou wasn’t too sure about that. He only roughly knew that Ancient Crane City was one of Gantian Mountain’s pillars in the south.

Donglin Cloud Continent was made up of many cities joined together, interlocked like a dog’s teeth, even showing signs of there being countries within countries. Although Gantian Mountain controlled millions of Monster race members in four provinces, it didn’t include all of the human cities in the area.

They only controlled ten or so of them, spread out within the monster race cities. As Gantian Mountain was really powerful, there were many human cities who sought refuge with it.

This Ancient Crane City was not only an important pass in the area and a merchant hub, it was the pillar helping to control a province of monster race members, as well as a dozen or so human towns within a thousand mile radius.

Once it was taken down, thousands of miles of territory in the south would be lost to the hands of the enemy.

In the past, without an outside enemy, Zong Shi and Zong Yang went all out to fight for the spot of Gantian Mountain Monster King, even Zong Shou nearly couldn’t keep his life.

However, with a huge enemy in front of them, if they wanted to protect Gantian Mountain they needed to work together to face the enemy. Losing what they built up was no good for any of them.

If he died now, it would be a disaster for Gantian Mountain. Morale freezing and people being disheartened were things that could be predicted.

Even if those three people wanted to act against him, the many race leaders and even elders of Gantian Mountain wouldn’t agree.

Thinking about that, Zong Shou couldn’t help but smile. So that was the case. The reason why he was able to keep his life and become the Monster King for a few years after being chased out of Linhai College was probably because of this Yunxia Mountain.

Since one side couldn’t prevail over the other, and neither could get an advantage, then supporting a puppet which all sides could accept naturally became the best choice.

In his heart, he was silently surprised about how foolish this Yunxia Mountain was. If it was him, he would keep his claws and wait for the enemy to be in chaos, wasn’t that better?

Such rashness and impatience, letting the two thousand Fire Wolf cavalry into Dongwei Mountain, what a foolish decision…

Who was the Monster King of Yunxia Mountain? He couldn’t remember. Someone using three provinces to go up against Zong Weiran for five years, only slightly losing out, he shouldn’t be foolish. Unless there were other reasons?

Just as Zong Shou’s mind wandered off, Huang Xiao smiled towards him, “The Prince must be careful, you still need to take over the great work of Gantian Mountain. Not only Yunxia Mountain, even that Blazing Flame Mountain might act against Prince. Although Purple Lightning Spear has arrived here, the head of the Yunxia Mountain Nine Swords has also arrived over, and he is also here…”

After he finished he respectfully bowed once more before leaving and entering Zong Ling’s suite.

Zong Shou was at a loss. He knew about the Purple Lightning Spear Zong Yuan because he was from the Sky Fox Zong Family.

As for the Yunxia Mountain Nine Swords mentioned by Huang Xiao, he had never heard of them.

On the contrary, Yin Yang’s body shuddered, his eyes sweeping around sharply. In just a short while, he focused in the large hall below. At the left-most round table in the corner was a rather thin black shirted middle-aged man sitting alone. The seats around him were empty and no one dared to get close to him.

Noticing Yin Yang’s gaze, that person glanced back before turning his head around. His face had a centipede tattoo that looked really vicious and his eyes were extremely cold.

Zong Shou’s eyes contracted. This person was actually also at three meridians of the Earth Chakra! The peak of Xiantian Master!

After a martial cultivator entered the Earth Chakra Realm, their strength would have a earthshaking change after every meridian they opened up.

The old man that died in Zong Shou’s hands that day was only at two meridians of the Earth Chakra Realm. Moreover, his strength was restricted in the Blood Valley.

The person in front of him, as well as that Purple Lightning Spear, were the same, they had already reached the strength stage of the martial path! He was just half a step away from the Martial Ancestor Realm.

Just as he was about to ask Yin Yang about that man’s past, the entire tea house turned totally silent.

A dozen green-robed men were clustering around an old man as he walked to the center of the tea house. Each carried a tray covered in a silk cloth. They placed them in an orderly manner on a table.

That old man first cupped his fists towards the crowd, saying a few introductory statements to the tune of “thank you for coming””we are grateful” and so on.

Just as Chuxue was feeling really impatient, that person finally stopped and unveiled the item on the first tray.

It was a sword, laying quietly there, black with wave like patterns.

The entire tea house was so silent that a pin drop could be heard. No matter if it was it a martial cultivator or spirit master, they all looked towards the tray with burning gazes.

The old man explained, “Most of you must have already known. This item was pawned to our shop a year ago by a Xiantian master for a hundred Grade Three beast crystals. The pawning period has passed and we can sell it now. Today we will use a hundred Grade Three beast crystals as the starting bid, to go to the highest bidder!”

When his words landed, the entire tea house was still totally silent. Everyone looked quietly at the item, but no one made a bid.

Although the item was precious, apart from Xiantian or Out of Body Realm experts, other people had no use for it. On the contrary, it would bring disaster to them.

The old man wasn’t anxious, he knew that only a few people had the ability to buy this sword. He didn’t rush them, just silently waiting.

Zong Shou also looked towards the spiritual sword with certainty, his eyes filled with curiosity.

This Black Wave Sword didn’t surprise him much. It was really basic, and out of Spiritual Weapons, it could be considered one of the weakest ones.

However, the moment his eyes touched it, his heart felt some mysteries, like telepathy.

“This is rhythm? Weird, who was the owner of this sword, to be able to nurture sword rhythm into the sword? It probably followed him for thirty to fifty years, and show no signs of damage. This feeling of nothing being unbreakable and impenetrable, how could it merge with a water element Black Wave Sword?”

That faint sword rhythm was only slightly discernible. Other people couldn’t pick it up, but Zong Shou, who was sensitive towards the martial path, definitely didn’t miss out on it!
