Divine Brilliance

Just as he wanted to clench his hands and smash this person, they suddenly opened up, “Stop! I am Kong Yao’s brother…”

Kong Yao’s brother?

Zong Shou was shocked and his killing intent slightly faded. He thought about this seriously, and the energy that he gathered went from a clench to a grab.

He picked up this person, forcefully pulling them from the space hundreds of thousands of feet away to right in front of him.

Looking at him, he was twenty years old but there wasn’t much similarity with Kong Yao.

Kong Yao was so beautiful that she could be compared to Zhao Yanran. Although this fellow was handsome, at this moment he looked haggard and not majestic at all.

He didn’t hear that Kong Yao had a brother, she seemed like an only child?

Zong Shou’s brows curiously rose up as he hesitated, not sure whether to kill him and end the matter.

The twenty-year-old teen seemed to be able to feel the intense killing intent from Zong Shou. He was shocked, saying, “I am called Kongxu, I am her cousin brother!”

Zong Shou heard this and understood, however, he still turned his head around, filled with doubt.

In just that short while, the people defending Gantian Mountain, including Xuanyuan Yiren and Renbo, all descended from that area. Kong Yao was amongst them. Seeing Zong Shou look over with a questioning gaze and the plea for help from Kongxu, she helplessly nodded her head.

Zong Shou smiled and then released Kongxu. Although this fellow was connected to the Yang Family which was really annoying, since he was from the Kong Yao Family, then he had no choice.

He couldn’t slash his future general’s older brother with one sword.

Kongxu felt the mountain-like pressure in his body totally disappear and only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

Once he fixed his shirt he was able to show some class, “I am Great Shang directorate of astronomy and calendar magistrate Kongxu. Greetings your highness! I came over to Gantian Mountain on orders. If I offended you in any way, please forgive me!”

Although he didn’t directly admit that he came over to harm Zong Shou, his words revealed this.

Kong Yao couldn’t help but roll her eyes, thinking to herself that this Kongxu was shameless enough. Before this, when they met, he mocked her so much, even holding her hostage. At this time, he even dared to use her name to get out of this situation.

She didn’t speak, after all they were cousins. Even if they were distant, these people saw her as an enemy, but she wasn’t willing to see Kongxu die here just like that.

When Zong Shou heard this, he waved his sleeves impatiently. This was Zong Shou’s way of telling him to scram quickly. He wasn’t bothered to deal with such a small fry.

When Kongxu saw this, he was delighted. Just as he was about to leave, Zong Shou’s voice shouted from behind him.

“Slow down!”

Just two short words caused Kongxu’s heart to jump. He turned around with much doubt, only to see Zong Shou lower his head like he was deep in thought about something.

More accurately, he was recalling something…

He seemed to have heard of the name Kongxu before?

That’s right! Wasn’t he the future race leader of the Kong Family? Liao King betrayed this silly girl and destroyed his own city, however, wasn’t it Kongxu who executed the plan. Then, he used this to increase his own value and went to change sides to join the God Emperor?

Not long after, the God Emperor found an excuse to slay him.

He couldn’t remember the exact details. However, from what he read in the history books it seemed that Kong Yao’s father was implicated.

He seemed to be the only person this woman valued.

Valued?

Zong Shou couldn’t help but laugh, he was just worrying why he was unable to keep this woman for himself?

These thoughts flashed in his mind as he mocked himself. He was really despicable, truly with no limit.

Speaking of which, wasn’t this younger sister Yao snatched up to avoid her dying on the battlefield?

Eh? He was doing a good thing and he didn’t have to blame himself.

He consoled himself and smiled, “Kongxu? So it was you, you can’t leave anymore!”

Kongxu was startled and at a loss as he looked at Zong Shou. He was totally stunned, not understanding what was meant by this.

Zong Shou calmed down and continued, “Recently, my concubine told me that she misses her father, why doesn’t your Kong Family send him over? You can let them reunite…”

The moment those words were spoken, many people were astonished. Kong Yao curiously blinked her eyes, trying to recall when she had said these words to Zong Shou? Naturally, she did in fact miss her father.

Did Zong Shou know about how her father was removed from his role and was placed under soft arrest?

Xuanyuan Tong’s eyes were filled with rage, fire burning within as he stared at Zong Shou.

This fellow, before he married Xuanyuan Yiren actually found himself another woman. What an irresponsible man!

Now, right in front of his face, he adored this concubine, not bothering with his actual father in law.

He really wanted to punch him to teach that kid a lesson. However, in the end, he was worried about Zong Shou’s identity as the country’s ruler; he couldn’t lose face in front of his people so he didn’t act on his emotions.

It was okay for men to have many wives and concubines but couldn’t be so out of hand!

Kongxu’s face twisted slightly. Zong Shou looked toward Kongxu and a dark violence flashed in his eyes. Then, Kongxu took in a deep breath, bowing, “I understand! However, my uncle loves quietude and stillness. He also loves the elderly and his home so he definitely wouldn’t be willing to leave the Emperor capital! When I return, I will try my best to help make sure this matter succeeds!”

Zong Shou giggled, “Who says you are going back? If you want to return, then wait for my concubine’s father to come over and then we will speak…”

Kongxu’s brows rose, his eyes darker and colder, but his expression calmed down. Instead, he smiled and acted like he didn’t care, “Then I will stay and accompany sister Yao. As for my uncle’s matter, I can get someone to write a letter, but he has always been stubborn. Unless, I or sister Yao persuades him, he wouldn’t be willing to come over.”

“He won’t be willing to come over?”

Zong Shou’s smiled. He flicked with his finger and sword energy exploded out in the air!

The sword energy disappeared with a flash and then a ball of blood spurted out.

Kongxu didn’t notice anything at first, but moments later he realized his right arm was light and a pain was spreading. Only then, did he roar out in pain; his right hand was sliced off!

“If he is unwilling then send your arm over and it will succeed! If he doesn’t come in a month I will slash your left arm! Three months, then both your legs! If I don’t see him in half a year then I shall send your head over. If my concubine’s father really adores you, he wouldn’t want you to suffer. Kongxu do you think so?”
