Those pairs of red eyes focused over. If it wasn’t for Zong Gang and Tan Tao coldly sweeping over, there would probably have been a riot.

Chuxue felt really unfair in her heart. Her eyes wide open and staring at those people. Thinking that the one who truly led them to crush the 400 thousand strong armies of the 2 cities was actually her prince!

If it wasn’t for him, all of them would have died here. Although it was indeed the same fellow who brought them all into the Ruohai Straits.

However who was this all for? Her brain wasn’t good but her memory was not bad. She remembered that Tan Tao had once told the prince that the reason Blazing Flame Mountain and Yunxia Mountain gathered troops here was because they wanted to build a city here and obtain the tens of mind stone mines belonging to Gantian Mountain and Xuan Mountain City within this Ruohai Mountain range.

Speaking of which who knows when the prince would be able to personally lead the troops. To let these people see who it was who could truly trample over thousands of enemies! If they saw, their eyeballs would fall out!

Then, she shook her head, thinking that it was better if he didn’t go to war. War was really dangerous. It was best if the prince hid at the back like that.

Zong Shou was currently deep in thought like he was balancing the pros and cons. Just as he was thinking that the time was about there and he should agree to him. Zong Yuan suddenly stopped, his eyes looking over really seriously.

“Today I, Zong Yuan, use my blood to swear that I am willing to be the prince’s servant!”

He actually pulled out the knife by his waist, cutting his arm, his expression unchanging, “I will not abandon and leave you in my life. If I go against that I will fall into the deep abyss!”

When he said those words, there were many explosions in the sky. Numerous purple-colored light spread down, dyeing the entire sky a deep blue color.

Including Li Luo, Zong Gang, and Tan Tao, they all looked startled at Zong Yuan before they looked at the sky.

Swearing a blood oath wasn’t anything special. However, for there to just nice be lightning at that moment was a surprising one.

He remembered before that above this Ruohai Straits there was totally no clouds above however in the next moment black clouds rumbled.

If at this moment they could confirm that there wasn’t a spirit master controlling using soul power, one would think that it was a spirit master casting a spell.

Zong Shou was also similarly surprised, looking at the sky for a moment before looking away.

He thought to himself that this was a little too much of a coincidence. Was this really a sign from the heavens? Zong Yuan’s luck seemed to be a little weird?

He looked closely at the blood dripping from his wrist. It had actually formed into a natural blood-colored rune.

Zong Shou was startled. Then, he shook his head, “There is no need to. Actually that Zong Yang and Zong Hao, even if you didn’t bring it up, I also can’t allow them to live. Get up, I agree with your request!”

Zong Yuan was obviously startled. Then, he understood the gist of what was going on. He couldn’t help but mock himself. He had actually run out of patience.

However, to work for this young cousin brother wasn’t that bad of an idea. Actually, he wished that Zong Shou could control his body for an even longer time. Then he would be able to comprehend more stuff.

Just as he stood up, Zong Shou pointed towards his waist, “You are still carrying Feng Yu’s head? Are you really planning to use it as a pee potty?”

Zong Yuan also took a look at his waist, only to see a huge head hanging there. Its eyes still wide and staring, as he had died with many grievances.

Looking at Feng Yu’s head, Zong Yuan thought about it for a moment before he expressionlessly nodded his head, “Why not? It’s a little inconvenient here, when I return to Gantian Mountain I will take out the bones and paint it before selling...” However, in the end, he still took the head off and threw it into the distance.

Zong Shou felt his insides toss and turn, using a head to make a pee potty, who would want that? Won’t one be afraid of being unable to sleep at night?

Following which he saw Hu Zhongyuan’s eyes light up. He also felt a burning gaze from behind him. Looking over, even Tan Tao was a little tempted.

Zong Shou was speechless, no wonder the Donglin Cloud Continent tens of thousands of years ago was seen by the central continent as a land of barbarians. As expected, it made sense.

Helplessly shaking his head, Zong Shou was lazy to bother about it. He turned his eyes and looked at Xiong Kui who Zong Gang had carried over. He was lying on the ground with his four limbs spread out, his eyes tightly shut, face purple and gold. It seemed like he was still unconscious. If this fellow’s breathing didn’t get rushed when Zong Yuan was making his oath, one would think that he still hadn’t woken up.

Looking carefully for a moment, the corner of Zong Shou’s lips rose up coldly, “Isn’t this prince Xiong Kui who was planning to teach me a lesson? If you continue to act unconscious, do you think I will ask someone to make you into a potty?”

Xiong Kui was still lying down with no reaction, his breathing couldn’t be heard. Zong Shou shook his head, directly waving his hand, “It seems like you can’t wake up. Men! Drag him to feed the dogs, remember to bring his head back for me...”

Before he finished his sentence, Xiong Kui climbed up, “Prince don’t be hasty!”

He wasn’t embarrassed, calmly adjusting his clothes as he cupped his hands submissively towards Zong yuan, “Blazing Flame Mountain Xiong Kui greets the prince! The prince has won this battle beautifully. However, how will the prince deal with Xiong Kui? If you can let me go I will be really grateful. Allow me to be bold, with your current situation, you are facing enemies in all directions. Xiong Kui is willing to be your ally...”

When Zong Shou heard that he laughed coldly. His attempt at acting dead failed so he was trying this? His few hundred beast crystals loss this time, if he didn’t extort from him how would he be satisfied?

His expression didn’t change at all as he said expressionlessly, “Let’s talk about this in the future. I don’t like people to stand and talk to me, especially people taller than me...”

Xiong Kui’s face instantly swelled up blue, his eyes shining in an unsettled manner. His heart was feeling so depressed until it was about to explode.

But when he looked forwards, be it, Zong Gang or Zong Yuan, they were staring aggressively and coldly at him, causing him to feel a chill down his spine.

Moreover, Zong Shou’s wolf-like vicious stare caused him to be nervous.

Thinking about it for a moment, he thought to himself, a great person is able to take what others couldn’t so why not just kneel now.

He hesitated for a moment before he bent his knees and knelt down. In his heart, he really wanted to slice this Zong Shou up into a million pieces, smashing him into meat paste along with Zong Yuan and Zong Gang! If he didn’t pay them back for this humiliation, he wasn’t a human!

Then, he saw a gentle and kind smile on Zong Shou’s face, “Prince Xiong Kui do you want to return to your Blazing Flame Mountain?”

...

At the same time, tens of miles away, still on that high cliff.

“Where did this Zong Yuan come from. One blood oath actually caused a heavenly phenomenon. Is he not only an unparalleled general seed? That shouldn’t be it. If he really has such a good fate then why would my uncle not be able to see anything?”

Looking up into the sky, at the dark clouds that were still spreading and folding, Lei Dong’s face was filled with surprise.

Following which he frowned and sighed, continuing to write on blue colored silk laid out in front of him whilst he guessed, “Zhao Yanran, I heard that the Taiyuan fairy is not only good at lightning and sword techniques, she is also good at physiognomy. Did you all find out long ago but just didn’t raise it up?”

Zhao Yanran’s brows were still really relaxed, lazy to bother about him. Similarly on blue silk, however, it was obvious that she was putting in more effort. Each word she wrote would take 50-60 breaths, unlike Lei Dong who was really casual and effortless. Which was why she wrote it in a simple and concise manner, with just around 110 words.

“...Zong Shou entered Ruohai Straits, ordering Zong Yuan to lead 3 thousand cavalry to charge at the formation, slaying Yang Xuan, Mu Ling, Xie Nu, Mu Jiang, Feng Yu, crushing the 400 thousand enemy force. I suspect these 2 people are unparalleled general talents. Junior brother Zong Shou is indiscernible. After the battle, Zong Yuan made a blood oath to pledge loyalty, causing a heavenly phenomenon. I think this person’s destiny has changed...”

Lei Dong saw what she wrote, but he sighed, “Destiny changed? I guess so too. What a good show today! 3 thousand iron cavalry to trample over such a huge army. Since that person, I have no witnessed such an amazing feat.”

As he said that, the words on the blue silk totally formed up and solidified. Lei Dong placed his palms together and chanted out a few sentences. The silk ignited in mid-air, turning into smoke and dust and dissipating. Within it, however, rose up balls of light which disappeared into the sky, in just a short while, one lost track of it.

Zhao Yanran had also completed hers at that moment. The blue silk in front of her instantly burnt.

However, when the silk turned into ash, Zhao Yanran’s face was covered in sweat as she used a handkerchief to wipe it off before standing up. On the high cliffs of this giant stone canyon, she jumped and leaped towards the distance.

Lei Dong’s eyes instantly shone, “Crazy witch where are you going? Is your common people path not caring about Zong Shou anymore?”

Zhao Yanran stopped, looking back like how one would look at an idiot, “Naturally to invite people. Ask yourself can you alone prevent any accident from happening?”

Lei Dong’s brows furrowed, following which he revealed an enlightened expression before laughing awkwardly.

“I forgot that this Zong Yuan matter would cause the Donglin Cloud Continent to boil up, everyone knowing about it. Even if we want to hide it, we won’t be able to. Such talent is actually working for trash that can’t cultivate. Everyone will definitely be tempted and plan to kill him...”

Looking out into the distance, one could see ten over red flame birds flying swiftly around Ruohai straits.

This bird was really quick and they were rare in the world. In an instant they were miles away, flying in all directions.

Lei Dong couldn’t stop them and wasn’t willing to. Even if he killed all the hundreds of thousands of people here to hide the matter, it would still not work.

Actually, it wasn’t a problem if others found out that Zong Yuan was an unparalleled general talent. What they worried about was that this matter would drag down Zong Shou.

After Zhao Yanran finished, she didn’t bother about him anymore, heading into the distance. Lei Dong also directly stood up.

An ascended ancestor traveling in the air was extremely swift, one step crossing ten miles as he moved towards the direction of that Jiefu City.

He was originally a little anxious but thinking about it, a bit of hope rose up in his heart, thinking that it is best if 1 or 2 strong uncles come over such that he could be freed and rush back to the central continent.
