Divine Brilliance

Ling Fakong looked stunned at the tiger king knife stuck in front of his face. He was at a loss at the start, but a moment later, he suddenly came to his senses.

What the prince was saying was that he wanted him to kill himself here!

That’s right. Their Ling family and Chai Family were different. Although the wind bear family leaned towards Zong Shi and Zong Yuan, they didn’t have any physical activity.

Their eye wolf race took center stage and went up to fight. As such, they have to explain.

At that moment, everyone around was silent, no one speaking. Even Hu Zhongyuan knew to not open his mouth. The power battles of this era were bloody. The winners became kings and the losers become thieves. That was just a theory.

Zong Shou’s tone was expressionless, “Uncle Ling, you are an old subordinate of my Father. However, this time you are seriously wrong. If I don’t deal with you how will I tame the masses?”

Ling Fakong looked at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers around, taking a glance at the sharp machete in front of him. Then, he gave a bitter smile.

His hand trembled as he picked up that tiger king knife, ready to kill himself to make up for his sins. Ling Xuan suddenly picked it up, kneeling once more, “Prince wants our eye wolf race to answer, can Ling Xuan replace my Father to take the punishment?”

Zong Shou blinked his eyes in shock, taking a close look at Ling Xuan. Earth chakra 5 meridians, not much different from Hu Zhongyuan. Their talents were similar, but his heart and personality were better. Looking at his aura, he didn’t lack comprehension and didn’t have any bottleneck.

In the next moment, he saw Chai Yuan also fly out from the personal army of the wind bear race.

His face was devoid of color, once again getting off the horse and kneeling, “Chai Yuan begs the prince to let spiritual country duke off. Brother Ling and I are foolish to be muddled by that Zong Shi and Zong Yang. However, we don’t have any bad intentions. Prince, please understand. I am willing to promise you that he will follow the rules and not commit the same error.”

“Cough, muddled? I think you guys were too smart!”

Zong Shou coldly scoffed when he heard that. He looked around at Hu Zhongyuan and the others, although they didn’t say a word, their faces had begging expressions.

He got rid of the thought to kill Ling Fakong. His position wasn’t stable now and the number of people he could use was really little. He also needed to consider that the emotions of these old subordinates were far from totally loyal to him.

Speaking of which, it was a little waist to destroy this Xuanwu 8 meridian whilst also dual cultivator person.

Thinking about it for a short moment, Zong Shou had a decision, “Forget it! I can pardon him, but he will be lowered by one rank. Also, the position of eye wolf race leader will be inherited by Ling Xuan. All the race people who participated in the rebellion, above major, will be sent over with their heads cut off.

Below major, to account for your sins, along with Ling Fakong, will join the sinner camp for 20 years. The Eye wolf army will be reduced to 50 thousand and moved to defend a surrounding borderland. Are you happy with this?”

Ling Fakong’s body shuddered once more, raising his head, only to see Zong Shou’s eyes were clear, eyes burning and filled with cold intent. He knew that this outcome was something he couldn’t change.

His face turned several bits whiter, lowering his head, “Ling Fakong follows your order!”

The eye wolf race, apart from the private army, was close to 160 thousand people serving in the army. Within Gantian Mountain City, there were above 3 thousand who serve in an army role. Majors being killed and those below being sent to the sinner camp, and also 50 thousand being moved to a borderland.

One could say that this impact was unprecedentedly huge, pretty much weakening his Ling family’s power in Gantian City to the greatest extent.

It also broke all possibility of the Ling family betraying the prince.

Such an arrangement, however, stepped on his bottom line. First forcing him to kill himself, seemed to be a show to threaten him making him lose all courage to bargain and reject all these arrangements.

All of a sudden, he looked startled as he looked at Zong Shou. This kid’s style was different from Zong Weiran’s style, and his methods were different.

Zong Shou smiled, causing everyone around to take in a breath of fresh air. Since the Ling family matter was settled, there was only one more step was left.

Losing the support of Ling Fakong and Chai Yuan, Zong Shi was only a direct bloodline member of the Zong Family, controlling ten over towns in the city. Far from being able to support the entire situation.

With the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered here, it was enough to sweep him.

However, the moment such a thought rose up, he saw a bunch of soldiers being pushed to the side in a distance.

The ones who came were Hu Zhongyuan and Qiu Wei, and behind him came 2 thousand iron tiger race iron tiger halberd warriors. There was also 3 thousand black armored infantry which was all 7 feet tall, wearing heavy armor with a many feet long Mo Knife.

Zong Shou took just a look and knew that this was the personal arm built by Qiu Wei. Gantian Mountain City’s another elite force, the broken wind Mo knife soldier. The only one that was not built purely from a race, mixed with many Monster races and humans who were all loyal to Qiu Wei.

Apart from these 5 thousand elites, many people were captured over. The numbers in the thousands. The sky fox Zong family race as the main one, taking up 1/6.

Not far, 2 people walked alone. Looking out, Zong Shou was able to swiftly find them in his memory.

It was Zong Hao and Zong Shiyuan. However, now, they weren’t as confident as they were in his memory.

They looked slightly terrible. The people around them seemed like they were looking like the devil, wanting to hide from those 2.

Zong Shiyuan was still okay like he was smacked by a broken can. He was expressionless, whilst Zong Hao was slightly worried, his face was nervous.

Zong Shou’s brows furrowed. He knew that this was done by Hu Zhongyuan and Qiu Wei. They swept away the other forces of Zong Shi, helping to save him a lot of effort.

Hu Qianqiu moved the horse to the front. He originally wanted to laugh out loud, but when he took a look at the walking zombie-like, devoid of energy Chai Yuan and Ling Fakong, he sighed. If they knew this would happen, why did they do it in the first place?

He also couldn’t be too gleeful in front of the 2 of them, waving his huge hand and patting on Zong Shou’s shoulder to show his emotions and excitement.

Qiu Wei was calmer. He looked at Zong Shou, his eyes flashing and he felt happy, at ease, relieved, a flurry of emotions.

Zong Shou smiled, solemnly bowing, “All thanks to Uncle Qiu, I am unable to thank you, please accept my bow.”

Qiu Wei stepped aside to not accept the bow. However, when he saw Zong Shou sincerely bowing, his expressionless face changed. His eyes turned gentler, “The prince doesn’t have to do that. Qiu Wei is the ruler’s subordinate. Helping you is my duty!”

Zong Shou’s lips tugged, why didn’t Zong Shiyuan and the others act like that?

He liked Qiu Wei. Although Zong Weiran’s 10 years as Monster king gave rise to numerous problems, he was really intelligent and good at spotting talent.

The subordinates under him were all excellent.

“Prince, you don’t have to bother about him. This old Qiu is too cold. However, out of us, he follows the rules the most. No matter how you praise him. he won’t be happy.”

Hu Qianqiu shook his head before staring, his tone changing, “On the other hand, all these personal troops of Zong Ming and Zong Hao…how is the prince going to deal with them?”

Zong Shou looked at the side at the group of people who were being forcefully moved and kneeling hundreds of feet away.

Roughly 6 thousand people from all sorts of tribes, wearing robes or war armor were all generals lieutenant and above. One could see that Zong Shi and Zong Yang has a huge influence and infiltrated deeply.

Most of them were extremely depressed and were nervous.

On the contrary, those hundreds of fox race people were calm. Not only were they not afraid, but they were also calm and composed. A portion of them even made jokes and started laughing.

Zong Shou silently shook his head. How much did Zong Weiran pamper the Zong family race? To be able to give rise to this bunch of useless people?

Just as he was about to give an order, there was a group of people who traveled swiftly over. Tens of people who were all dressed exquisitely, all a little older. Just as they got close someone shouted out, “Prince wait up, we have something to say!”

Zong Shou frowned slightly looking beside him with a curious expression. Hu Zhongyuan closed in beside his ear and softly answered, “This is your Zong family race elder council…”

Zong Shou was enlightened, guessing to himself that these elders were about to beg for those Zong family direct bloodline disciples?

Following which he saw that when they got close they didn’t bow. The white hair white mustache old man at the lead simply cupped his fists, “Is the prince crazy? Why are you capturing our Zong family direct disciples? Don’t you know that this is the Zong family pillar?”

Zong Gang frowned as he heard that, “these people joined Zong Shi and plotted and coup. How can he not capture them?”

“Shut up! What right do you have to speak?”

The white-haired old man scolded out, causing Zong Gang’s face to flash red. Then, their tone turned gentle,” they were just tempted by Zong Shi and didn’t commit any big sin. They were young people walking the wrong path. One just needs to slightly punish them. Prince, you have to think carefully. Our Zong family isn’t very huge. Don’t be bluffed by others and spoil our future. If you are going to war, then using your own family is more reliable.”

Whilst speaking, he especially looked at Hu Qianqiu and Qiu Wei, causing their faces to turn green.

The moment his words landed, a red-faced old man opened his mouth, “The prince has always been merciful and kind. Coming back for the throne is what everyone wants. The elder council, I, Zong He, will vote for the prince. After the ruler, naturally, the prince will inherit the race leader’s position.”

His tone was dark and weird, causing everyone to turn silent. Zong Gang, Zong Yuan, and the others all revealed a worried expression. Even a full could hear that the elder was threatening him.

Hu Qianqiu and Qiu Wei were all silent. This was a Zong family matter. Moreover, the current situation suited to compromising and bearing with it. It wasn’t suitable to deal with these sky fox direct disciples.

Zong Shou wasn’t furious but smiled instead, looking to the heavens. Even if he didn’t care much about the Monster king position, he still felt rage fill his heart.

However, a moment later he suppressed it, revealing his teeth as he smiled, “I only want to say that I’m slightly different from my father…”
