Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After saying that, Zong Shou moved forwards once more. This time he was standing in front of Zong Rui.

“This time, Hu Qianqiu will pay the price! Zong Shou, after the matter, I’ll whip his corpse in public and hang his head for numerous mouths to vent my hatred! Oh right and also. The important matter is to invite Uncle Zong over quicker... Shi’er’s strength is not enough. Even if we kill that Zong Shou, we won’t be able to control the situation. It seems we still need Uncle Zong to act to suppress these few people...”

Although it was in a chaotic battle, Zong Shou looked and listened to all sides and picked up everything.

Now, he remembered everything and spat it out word by word. The smile on his face was totally cruel.

“So it seems like you are on the side of Zong Shi. Now that Uncle Zong has been invited by you all, what can he do to me?”

That Zong Rui’s body shuddered, his eyes filled with fear. He could pretty much foresee his fate not long later.

At this moment, it wasn’t that he didn’t think about escaping. However, at this moment, thousands of gazes stared on his body, filled with killing intent.

Moreover, they had strength above his and around his level. Who knew how many there were?

If he were to flee, where could he flee to in this Gantian Mountain City? How was it possible for him to escape?

At this moment. he even lost hope of resisting and only hoped that after this matter the prince won’t harm his family.

Zong Zhen’s face was a mix of green and red. His eyes filled with shock, rage, and helplessness. The fighting intent in the gaze of Hu Qianqiu and the others terrified him.

After a long while, his voice seemed to be spat out from the depths of hell. One word by one word, “Zong Shou, you dare?”

“I do! What can you do to me?”

Zong Shou smiled, revealing his white tooth. The nine qilin sword in his hand slashing diagonally, cutting off this Zong Rui’s head with one slash with a cracking sound.

The surrounding elders who now numbered not more than 10 were all silent.

Before today, who would have thought that the prince who looked useless had night wandering realm cultivation, xiantian initial meridian, had comprehended sword intent and emperor techniques. His talent could be compared to the best in the Cloud Continent.

They also didn’t expect that when Zong Shou was vicious. They didn’t think he would go so far, to be so violent and so sharp.

He killed 2 sky fox race leaders with no hesitation and without blinking. He was close to the heart of a devil!

Their chests and organs were filled with a thick sense of regret. The prince and the previous ruler were different!

The former ruler, no matter what happened, he would first reason with them. As for Zong Shou, his fist was the largest and if you were unhappy then he would beat you up until you accept it!

At this time, they reminisced, realizing how precious the times were when the ruler was still around.

Zong Shou stepped forwards to another person. Although this person didn’t say a word, not long ago he had blocked others from reinforcing him.

He could hear the low roar of Zong Zhen filled with extreme hate. Zong Shou smiled with disdain, not asking at all as he slashed out once more.

That blood light spurted and another head flew up suddenly into the air.

Zong Shou suddenly turned around, his hand holding the nine qilin sword as he pointed it at Zong Zhen, “Old man, you don’t dare to fight anymore? I have killed enough of them, I am lazy to dirty my hands. If your sky fox Zong family has some pride then leave my Gantian Mountain City. Either that or be loyal to me and be my lackey! Live or die, fight or surrender, make your own choice!”

Gantian mountain peak was silent like everyone was waiting for Zong Zhen to reply. Zong Zhen himself was like a dead person, not making a sound.

Zong Gang directly laughed coldly. How easy was it to leave Gantian Mountain? Not to mention those direct bloodline people being unhappy, they even had some many enemies.

Even he wouldn’t allow these people to leave! He was already planning to house large amounts of troops, to see which forces he could use their strength.

Since the prince showed mercy, then he would be the butcher. He will kill them all, rooting all of them to prevent future problems.

Hu Zhongyuan and the others, because of their identity, to avoid suspicion, couldn’t do it. Thus, he was the only one from the Zong family that could!

However, just as he thought about that, he looked at the few remaining sky fox Zong family elders behind Zong Shou. Exchanging glances they all knelt and bowed towards Zong Shou.

“The prince is wise! I sky fox elder always goes against the tide. Supporting Zong Shi was because we were tempted, prince please forgive us. From today on we won’t be held hostage by others, we are willing to serve the prince under the Gantian Zong family!”

Zong Zhen’s expression was originally really calm. But now, his soul power raged. He was so furious like a volcano that was about to explode, extremely dangerous.

When he heard that, he slightly froze up. All of a sudden, he was demoralized and lost all his energy. The intention to fight to the death he had before had disappeared.

Sighing, his face was tragic and sad.

Zong Shou was startled. He originally thought that today it was unavoidable for him to have a battle with this Zong Zhen. To pay a price to be able to kill him.

Who knew that these so-called sky fox race elders would lack so much backbone. After just a few knife slashes and a few threats, they yielded.

He didn’t even dare to believe that today’s matter had ended so simply?

Taking another look at Zong Zhen, that surging spiritual energy had calmed down once more. He seemed to have lost all his fighting spirit, expressionlessly kneeling, devoid of hope,” Zong Zhen doesn’t dare to betray Gantian Mountain, I only hope that after the prince sets up another race to not forget to pray to the ancestors of our sky fox Zong family...”

That Hu Qianqiu laughed, his expression turning solemn once more, “From today on, the prince is the ruler of Gantian Mountain! We wish the ruler, a prosperous rule lasting thousands of years, your achievements spreading down for generations. Let our Gantian mountain be forever peaceful and forever prosperous!”

Just as he said those words, a loud shout surrounded all over the mountain, “May the ruler’s rule last for tens of thousands of years, your values spreading over the 4 seas, your kindness spreading to everyone!”

This voice spread out swiftly, beneath the mountain where those hundred thousand troops were settled at, cheers of “may the ruler live for a thousand years” spread out. Vital energy gathered together and charged into the heavens. Causing those evil spirits to avoid.

At this moment, Zong Shou felt his body and brain explode.

The moment Zong Zhen finally admitted defeat, like there was a lock that was opened. The soul ocean whirlpool also slowly expanded out and swelled.

It wasn’t as fast as the luck word talisman speed but it was orderly, purifying and condensing the soul power.

Many of the spiritual energy which had impurities were all removed by the power from the soul ocean.

His body was the same too. His life force potential and Essence energy seemed to have been unlocked, flowing into his body, turning into pure true qi. Or either merging with the essential energy of the lightning Phoenix to strengthens his body.

Zong Shou instantly felt his thoughts smoothen out. He held his sword and laughed out, walking onto the altar and looking down on everyone.

No wonder in those dramas in the future, those rulers would often give off a maniacal laugh after the situation was settled.

Today he truly felt really comfortable and extremely happy.

He wanted to laugh some more to vent the happiness in his heart. However, he suddenly felt like something was tearing at his throat, unable to make any sound.

Zong Shou was astonished. Then, his head was full of sweat. It wouldn’t be so coincidental right? Were the heavens not used to me acting cool, not hiding my skills?

At this moment, although those thousands of officials didn’t understand why the new city lord would suddenly keep quiet after bursting out laughing, they were filled with their thoughts.

Maybe some people wouldn’t realize, but those with high positions understood in their hearts.

The change today in Gantian Mountain would affect the entire Donglin Cloud Continent. The ripples wouldn’t calm down even for numerous months.

The talents of the prince will shock the cloud world and scare off any neighboring enemy. Who knows more problems might gather in the dark.

For the hidden secrets in Ying Dragon valley, would Daoming and Xuansu Sects be willing to give up?

And that sky fox Xue family, they would easily give up on Gantian Mountain and let the Zong family off...

...

Roughly 63 thousand miles away from Gantian Mountain, there was a high tower 49 floors tall. Beneath the tower, there wasn’t any land, it just floated on the cloud ocean, hidden in the clouds.

On top of the tower, a teen wearing a crown was sitting above.

The entire torn was covered in thorns as it stabbed into the clouds, lightning glow shining, giving off a dangerous aura.

This thin dressed in scholarly attire didn’t care, seriously looking opposite him.

It was a sword that was deep purple, hanging in mid-air. Occasionally, it would spin and give rise to a series of colorful glows.

That teen had spent numerous months in this calm state, at this moment he finally let out a relieved expression.

“For that child, you and I have debated for so many months. Today it’s time we came to a result. The news in the Central continent, even grandmasters would have known.”

“God emperor seed? How would they not know.”

That purple long sword shuddered, it gave out a sound. “Although our sword Sect rose up later, our strength is not as good as your common people path, but such a huge thing can’t be hidden from our Sect.”
