“So this is why we have to kill him! In a few more years, it will be even more difficult to restrict him!”

Ling Weizi smiled, his brows furrowed as he looked below. “Long Ruo, calm down a little, do you want them to laugh at us...”

Everyone present looked over as they heard those words, only to see that on the left, Long Ruo’s eyes were red and his body was trembling slightly. He held his sword in his hand, veins bursting out. Killing intent leaked out of his body, and could be felt by the entire hall.

At this moment, Long Ruo came to his senses, and gave an apologetic smile. “I am sorry, I was out of sorts! Our moment of retribution is about to arrive, and I didn’t manage to suppress my emotions.”

The people in the hall all laughed, even Ling Weizi smiled.

If he was in the shoes of Long Ruo, he would be behaving the same way. There was nothing worth mocking him about.

“My disciple is probably the same too.”

Just as Yuankong said this, coincidentally, just Han Nishui headed towards him.

His expression was also different from usual, and he couldn’t help but shake his head. “Calm down and just wait quietly! At this moment, no matter what, that Zong Shou won’t be able to escape from within our palms.”

He said to another person on the right, “Cultivator Li, this time we will fully depend on you.”

When Han Nishui and Long Ruo heard this, their brows rose up and they looked over. It was an over twenty-year’s-old youth. Although he had the name of Knife Lord Wuhui, his expression was easy to read, and revealed a thick bookworm aura.

Li Wuhui frowned. “I will try my best. Since my master owed this favor, it is right that I return it. I only feel that this battle is a little unfair...”

Yuankong smiled but did not bother addressing the second half of his sentence. He wanted the elites of Gantian Mountain to die here, and to give his Heart Realm confidence that Li Wuhui would be able to claim Zong Shou’s life.

If it really was a fair fight, with Zong Shou’s ability of killing Cangming in the Dragon Hall, Li Wuhui might not be able to win. But if it was that Yuan Wushang...

He could not help but feel that it was a pity. Who knew what that person was thinking. Before they even started fighting, they had lost a grade-8.

If it was him, they could be at total ease.

At this moment, those in the elevated area exclaimed once more.

“People from Kongqi Sect, they actually rushed over. I remember that their sect leader is an intelligent person. Is he really crazy this time? Did he eat the guts of a leopard...”

Hearing that voice, the people did not need to look to know that it was the Daoming Sect elder, Wuyue. Since Cangming had died, this person was the second-in-command in the sect.

He had come over to view the battle, and for Gantian Mountain’s Zong Shou.

Yuankong was also startled. Looking at the Cloud Light Illusion Mirror in the hall, as expected, thousands of spiritual lights descended and fell in front of the cavalry that was seventy thousand-strong.

And then, he felt a little uneasy. Kongqi Sect had wholly leaned towards Gantian Mountain half a year ago, but they had not made any big moves.

At that time, one could take it as normal behaviour, because they were afraid of the Donglin Sects targeting them for selling items to Gantian Mountain, and thus were unwilling to offend Gantian Mountain too badly.

However, at such a crucial moment they appeared here, which instantly caused one to be filled with many thoughts.

Since they knew it was a trap and that the Donglin Sects had schemed together for this, why was the head of Kongqi Sect foolishly jumping in?

Did he think that Gantian Mountain was going to win? How was that possible?

Han Nishui was also stunned, subconsciously thinking back to the words that Xuanyuan Yiren said before.

...do you all know that two years ago, Zong Shou made a deal with Kongqi Sect?

...I always felt that your Mysterious Cloud Sect really doesn’t know how to spell the word ‘death!’

At the start, he didn’t think much of it, but now he felt his heart jump. Instinctively, he felt that those words were really important, and that they were the key to Kongqi Sect joining Gantian Mountain.

Just as he hesitated over whether to speak up, Yuankong smiled and stood. “Let’s not care about that. Since they want to die then let’s just fulfil their wishes! Edan and Xundan have arrived so why not go welcome them? Although that person is about to die and create much strife between our sects, be it cultivation or ruling he is a talent. Let’s witness his demise on the frontlines as a form of respect. Such a talent, what a waste...”

“What a spiritual house!”

At this moment beneath the mountain, Xuanyuan Tong was looking upwards in awe.

Spiritual houses and shrines were both naturally formed. They were spaces both in this world, and out of it. To a certain degree, they were even more complete than vast natural habitats.

That Mysterious Cloud spiritual house at the peak of the mountain was like a lone world.

Within the mountain, those Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect cultivators had brought over twenty-four dragon veins, and gathered them there for the low-grade disciples to cultivate with. Not only was the spiritual house stronger than that of Gantian Mountain, it was also not something Xuan Mountain City could compete with.

Looking out from afar, one could see five colourful spiritual clouds on the peak of the mountain, spiritual light shining brightly. This was a phenomenon formed in places with ample amounts of spiritual energy.

On the side, Qiaohan had an envious gaze. This spiritual house was much better than theirs.

Even the amount of grade-9 cultivators it could raise was double of their capability. By the martial ancestor, it was many times!

However, he was also filled with anticipation. With what the Monster King had agreed on, from today onwards, this mountain would belong to their Kongqi Sect.

Zong Shou didn’t feel anything. Someone who came from a vast habitat would naturally care little for a spiritual house of this level.

In the last life, what he had admired the most was the Tailing Sect. Now, as the disciple of a vast habitat, in terms of cultivation environment, even heavenly places might not be stronger.

At the moment, he was speaking with Tianqi, the sect leader of Kongqi Sect. Kongqi Sect did not descend from the Taoists, but from the ancient Mohists. This was why the sect leader could be called Ju Zi.

Ever since the Mohists had been wiped out, Kongqi Sect had been a lone branch. All sorts of ideals had been tossed aside, to give focus to surviving and staying on the path. Theirs was similar to the Common People Path, absorbing both Taoist and Buddhist cultivation methods, and using artifacts to prove their path.

The sect leader of this generation was actually three hundred over years old, but he looked only a little over forty. He had a proper look, his facing shining, smiling as he stood with his hands by his side.

“This is the Ancient Era Blood Cloud Cavalry?”

Zong Shou nodded his head slightly. “That’s right! Does Tianqi have any instructions or advice?”

“With my current foresight, how could I advise you? The ten over grade-6 Dao soldiers passed down from ancient times, which one of them isn’t on the level by a saint realm expert? These Blood Cloud Cavalry members are even more special, being able to go against grade-6 at the fifth grade. Who knows who created them...”

Tianqi bitterly shook his head. “I can only say that the Ancient Invincible Iron Cavalry is really extraordinary! I’ve heard that the more one kills with the Blood Cavalry Kill Sutra, the more their combat strength would increase. Lingyun Sect shouldn’t have gathered these millions of troops. It was what ruler wanted. With this battle, you can build even more prestige...”

As he said this, Tianqi viciously stared at Qiaohan before he sighed.

“Selling that armor to you, who knows if it was a blessing or a curse for my Kongqi Sect.”

“You must be kidding. You are a friend, so how can it be a curse? I am not a person to forget kindness...” Zong Shou said, as he looked at the Kongqi Sect disciples gathered in the area.

They needed to craft artifacts, which was why the sect had more spirit masters. At this moment they brought all grade-5 and above, four thousand of them! As for grade-9 cultivators, there were four. The essence of the entire sect was all here.

Only in the eyes of Zong Shou, would they appear a little helpless.

“I really need to thank your sect. What I am worried about is whether those people on the mountain will be shocked by your generosity?”

“Since you are an ally, naturally I have to go all out. That Kongyuan is one I am most clear about. Even if he knows the situation isn’t right what can he do? He has no way out, can he choose not to fight in front of his mountain? That Lingyun Sect also cannot just watch as Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect falls. Most probably they will only try their best to resist...” Tianqi said mockingly.

Following which, he waved his sleeves. “Look at this item!”

Suddenly, a cannon appeared in front of him, looking similar to the Energy Destroying Crossbow.

Only its body was slightly larger, the patterns more complex, and the materials used were even more precious.

Zong Shou’s eyes rose from the item, and already he knew how to use it. Shock appeared in his eyes. “How many of these grade-7 Energy Destroying Crossbows do you have?”

Those he had on hand could only fire grade-5 beast crystals. The one in front of him could use grade-7 ones.

... Although it was more of a black sheep that was ruining the family, it was hundreds of times stronger!

“Forty! This is taking all the finances of our Kongqi Sect!”

Tianqi was expressionless like he didn’t care at all. “This item is useless against high grade cultivators, but is excellent at attacking spiritual formations.”

Zong Shou’s head hurt, and he rubbed his temples. He balanced the pros and cons, and said, “This Mysterious Cloud Mountain can be given to you, but your spiritual house needs to be given to my Gantian Mountain.”

Tianqi’s expression didn’t change. “Why does your Gantian Mountain need a spiritual house?”

Following which, he saw Zong Shou look at Ling Xueyun, Mingdou, and the others, and he understood that Zong Shou was using them to raise people.

“Now that Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect is going to be wiped out, Gantian Mountain will clear out Donglin. There are numerous spiritual houses, aren’t there many places to house them?”

Zong Shou laughed awkwardly but did not reply. That was when Tianqi looked up, only to see ten thousand lights flying over.

Their aura was several times stronger than that of the Kongqi Sect.

“Seven Spirit Sect?”

Tianqi instantly understood that he was not the only one who had come to pick up spoils.

“Forget it, we can give our spiritual house to you. However we want all their mind stone veins.”

Zong Shou nodded. “Deal!”

In just half a year, the two large-sized mind veins in Gantian Mountain would be fully formed. He didn’t at all care about the few riches of Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect.
