Divine Brilliance

He really didn’t know who gave him the sword!

 Zong Shou shook his said and sent Spiritual Sense into the sword body.

 A moment later he sighed and retracted it.

 During these two days he even used the Book of Eon and most of his Mind Stones. He had spent 10 days but it ended in disappointment.

 He could understand and read the Spiritual Formation and patterns within the Avici Throne.

 However, this Nameless Sword totally confused him.

 If not for the sword body showing all signs of being Magical Treasure Grade, he would have thought that it was Celestial or even a God Artifact!

 He really didn’t know who crafted this sword!

 The more he thought about it, the more confused he was.

 If it was really given by a Senior, then he really owed a huge favor.

 Following this, Zong Shou couldn’t understand why his lifespan hadn’t decreased?

 Although Weihai was a despicable person, he was right about one thing.

 …To control the Death Sword and Yin Souls, one needed to share the same body with them!

 Such an evil sword technique would definitely harm one’s body.

 However, no matter how he analyzed and thought about it, he was unable to get to the bottom of it.

 He chased the source of the Styx River Death Sword and his World Shocking Spiritual Art.

 The Black and White Hole Dharmas, one swallowed and one purified, endless and limitless, no weakening and stopping.

 It could barely relate to life and death. However, it wouldn’t be able to reject the Death Energy.

 What was happening?

 Zong Shou sighed and he felt that the secluded meditation was a waste of time. He didn’t achieve anything. Thus, he gave up on continuing to study it.

 At this moment, there were more important things that he needed to handle.

 He had already spent two days on this Nameless Sword. The other matters couldn’t be delayed anymore.

 He walked out of the tent and toward the side. Not long later, he arrived at a luxuriously decorated large tent.

 This place was the Commander tent that Weihai used. Kong Yao was frowning and sitting in the main spot like she was worrying about something, her brow furrowed. She looked pitiful and made one wish they could go over and calm her down.

 Someone was lying in front of her. More accurately, it was a human stick.

 Four limbs were missing and only the body was left. It was Kong Xuan.

 Zong Shou was startled. He hesitated for a moment before deciding to stay outside.

 A moment later Kong Yao sighed.

 “I really don’t know how to deal with him. It would be better if the Ruler was more vicious, maybe I wouldn’t be so annoyed now…”

 “Annoyed?”

 Kong Xuan exclaimed and then laughed out loud and he raised his head, “You finally said these words. You were always respectful in front of the Seniors and the Elder Brothers. Even when you were humiliated, you wouldn’t care. However, I knew you were like a snake and would hate all of us to the bone and wish that we all died right?”

 Kong Yao laughed, slightly distracted and too lazy to argue with him.

 Hate? Yes she did.

 If it wasn’t for those cruel race members, her poor mother might not have died from depression so early.

 However, at that time she wanted to stand out, to let the people know that her mother wasn’t wrong to give birth to her.

 However, today she was on the side of Gantian. Her name was out of the race books and she had no relationship with the Kong Family.

 All the matters of the past were over. Her thoughts of glory dimmed down. Instead, the hatred hidden deep down started to rise up and wrap around her heart.

 At this time, Kong Xuan frowned, “Zong Shou really gave you the Commander spot? He entrusted you with a few hundred thousand elite troops?”

 Kong Yao was brought back to her senses. She was also surprised by talking about this matter.

 It was right to say entrust. In these two days he didn’t say anything and didn’t interfere with any of her decisions.

 Although he was amongst them but he stayed in his tent and let her make her own decisions on all large and small matters.

 She instinctively touched the purple gold seal. Beneath it there were the words Left Army Inspector. Apart from Qiuwei she was the highest rank in the Gantian Mountain Army.

 However, her experiences in Great Shang weren’t that extraordinary. Although the more than 10 battles ended well, compared to the other famous people in Great Shang and even the commanders of Gantian Mountain, she was really ordinary.

 She really didn’t know why Zong Shou had such high hopes for her.

 She remembered when she was young she wanted to lead a million troops to sweep the battlefield. However, today when she got her wish she felt a huge pressure on her chest, like she couldn’t live up to it…

 Speaking of which, did she really want to work for that despicable person?

 Why did her brother ask about this?

 “I don’t know what Ruler means but the troops on the island are indeed under my command…”

 “It really is!”

 Kong Xuan broke out into a laugh. Apart from disbelief there was also a mocking intent.

 “His eyes are a little interesting. He could support anyone else but he chose you. He doesn’t know your life is filled with failure and tragedy. No matter what, once it is connected with you, one will suffer tribulations and calamity.”

 He raised his head and looked at her, the mocking intent getting thicker, “You bitch might not have much skill but you look good. Zong Shou is young-blooded so its no wonder he would be attracted by you!”

 Zong Shou listened from the outside of the tent and exclaimed. There was actually such a saying?

 He suddenly comprehended. No wonder the Kong Family experienced so many weird things.

 Thinking back to the past, Kong Yao’s life did have many tragedies. Anyone who had a deep relationship with her definitely died.

 To say her fate was marked by tragedy was correct.

 Even this Lianyun Island matter was her fault.

 Kong Yao was in a daze, everyone had called her a jinx since she was young without any fear of her and only when she grew up did it get better.

 She instinctively shook her head, “Father said that I am Army Breaking descending, resonating with Alkaid. The phenomenon on that day wasn’t a sign of calamity!”

 She knew that it was useless for her to say such words but she still tried to argue.

 Kong Xuan grinned and smiled without making a sound, “You also come from the Kong Family and know that Divinators can’t divine their own fates. What could your father do? If you are really Alkaid how would His Majesty allow you to leave and marry a foreign nation? Your father used his life to ensure you would create merit for Great Shang such that you could become a General. Do you really think His Majesty would support you for no reason?”

 Kong Yao was instantly startled. She had never heard such words before. So that was the case? Why did no one tell her about this?

 “Our father exchanged his role as Imperial Astronomer for it. They strictly told us not to mention it.”

Scoffing coldly, Kong Xuan continued, “But look what happened now. His Majesty is so disappointed with you. Do you know what Imperial Tutor Zhongxuan says about you privately? He said your fate brings tragedy and pulls down the luck of Great Shang! Within 30 years you will die on the battlefield. When His Majesty heard you were trapped in Gantian and favored by him, he was so happy to send you away…”

 He laughed out, “Zong Shou is really blind to let you be the Commander! He is charmed by your beauty and does things preposterously. It definitely won’t be long before the country goes down! No, I think when the Night Demons descend, Gantian Country will be wiped out!”

 Kong Yao felt her breathing stop and her vital energy surging. She felt that everything she knew was a lie.

 She seemed like a dead person laying on the chair. A long time later she opened her eyes and there was no emotion fluctuation, “Leave!”

 This time Kong Xuan thought he was definitely dead, he didn’t bother and said all these ugly words.

 When he heard this, he was shocked and looked upward in a startled manner.

 “I will let someone send you to Huizhou Island, whether you live or die it is up to you!”

 After she finished, she pulled out the sword, slashing the table and cutting a corner.

 “From today on, Kong Family and I cut all ties! If we meet on the battlefield I will show no mercy! Remember, men…”

 Several guards were waiting outside. Now that Kong Yao summoned them, they instantly walked in and dragged Kong Xuan away. He gave out a maniacal laugh, “Good! Good! Good! Who knew I would have a chance to live. You also remember that I want to see how you die with my eyes and how you will show no mercy to us! I will make Zong Shou pay with his body for this hatred for destroying my limbs!”

 Zong Shou shook his head slightly. This person was a little crazy. He wanted to be vicious against him. However, thinking that this person might be the one who made Kong Yao really serve him, he was delighted and didn’t worry about him anymore. In the end, he stopped waiting and stepped into the tent.

 Kong Yao was originally really tense but when she saw Zong Shou walk in she was stunned for a moment. Then she relaxed.

 “Greetings Ruler!”

 She impassively bowed and asked directly, “Ruler said that you could give Kong Yao a million troops for this war. When is Gantian Mountain going to move the remaining troops over?”

 Zong Shou blinked in shock, “There’s isn’t a million here?”

 There were around 500,000 Great Shang troops along with the other Huizhou City troops that could be compared to Gantian Mountain standards, there were around 200,000.

 If they scoured the many cities, there would be around 200,00 more elites.

 Kong Yao instantly sighed, two days ago she had guessed that this was the case…
