Divine Brilliance

“Your father and I have a really close relationship which was why I knew hints about him. Not only to deal with your sky fox eight tail king race Xue family but those years when he fought those wars, he destroyed many of the chess pieces of the hidden sects, making enemies all around. They were all waiting for him to step into the ascended realm. I was rushing to break through to help him but unfortunately, I failed.

Every sentence he spoke he would drink a glass of wine. This gave Zong Shou no choice but to drink with him. The entire Tiegang Hall was silent as they all listened to the Xuan Mountain City lord speak about such secrets.

Only Fang Shu was expressionless. With his identity as Pill Fountain Sect direct disciple, he had long heard about such matters

“However I specially went to get more information about the battle half a year ago. I knew that although brother Weiran was badly hurt, forced by many ascended ancestors into the oblivion cloud ocean, no one could confirm that he died. As for what the exact situation was, it can only wait for me to breakthrough and personally head towards there. Don’t blame me for helping you, it’s okay if I don’t interfere in the Gantian Mountain matter. If I help you, my Xuan Mountain City will be in crisis and might cause you to die.”

As he said that his eyes contracted, staring st Zong Shou like a knife, “So prince, you must know that I, Xuanyuan Tong, am not a fake person. I don’t care how others see me I just hope you won’t misunderstand!”

Those few words were said with vigor, reverberating across the room. That Xuanyuan Tong looked on in shock. However, every time he drank, Zong Shou had to follow. He was delighted, “Prince you don’t have to do this. I have to drink this wine to suppress because of the flaw in my cultivation method. You can be causal…”

Zong Shou was instantly annoyed deep down, why didn’t you say so earlier? The drunken feeling was making his head giddy. He didn’t hesitate to activate his true qi to force out the alcohol essence.

However once Zong Shou used the world shocking true qi his face changed. The moment the spiral energy touched it, the flames burnt, using the alcohol to become stronger. The water element couldn’t suppress it. Following which the lightning glow exploded, making it more and more chaotic.

If that was the only thing still happening, he could still handle it. But after, all parts of his body showed signs of becoming unstable. That unwarned human race blood started to shake like it was about to suppress that skyfox race blood.

Luckily his body was really strong. He frantically restricted his world shocking true qi and allowed the alcohol to dissipate on its own. He used the water and fire true qi spinning spiral to form a centrifugal force to barely stabilize it. He felt really weird. He didn’t think that his technique had such a weakness.

Who knew how that wine was brewed. It wasn’t the celestial brew level but its alcohol was stronger. In just that short moment it slowly came into effect. Not only was his brain a little dizzy, but even his soul became unclear.

Xuanyuan Tong didn’t notice anything, his face turning expressionless, “I can risk everything for brother Weiran and do anything! I can lose my life but not Yiren, I’m unable to use her life to repay Brother. Do you understand my heart prince?”

When Li Sina and the others heard that they were delighted. Zong Shou smiled to himself if he didn’t lie then he is a decent person. Brotherhood towards a brother, love towards his daughter. He really liked it.

The only thing was that he couldn’t let him

In this matter. Thinking carefully, Zong Shou said, “Uncle saying this, your intention is to annul the marriage?”

He was slightly disappointed, laughing out, “If the prince was a few years older and have children you probably can understand. However whether or not to annul it I haven’t made my mind up.”

He looked at Zong Shou,” the one behind you is the Son of Hu Qianqiu? 6 meridian of earth chakra, not bad. With him by your side it seems brother Hu has made his mind up. Which means that the position of Monster king is most likely yours. But do you know that this only makes me more worried? Do you know that a few months ago I allowed her to search for you to hope that she would leave with you away from this chaos? Since you left, why did you return…”

Xuanyuan Yiren was moved, looking at Xuanyuan Tong with a dumbfounded expression like she didn’t expect it.

Zong Shou, on the other hand, had some idea, not replying and waiting patiently for him to speak.

However before he could, Li Sina was tearing, acting like she was really sad, “Husband, I don’t care if you want to be loyal, Weiran has been a huge help to our family. If you go all out for him I have no words. It is expected. But what about our daughter? If that mysterious moon wood brilliance method has a flaw or if something happens to the prince how will she live in the future?”

Zong Shou was instantly speechless, feeling amazed. She was really amazing. Her tears looked totally natural, her words and tone also sounded like she really loved Xuanyuan Yiren.

Following which the one to speak was Tan Tao, now he slightly frowned, “City lord madam. your words are a little inappropriate! Gantian Mountain is really safe. On the contrary our Xuan Mountain City is facing strong enemies on all sides. In the future, we have much to rely on Gantian Mountain. Our life or death is in their hands, at the will of the prince. The honor of the city lord cannot be harmed. We can’t annul this marriage! Furthermore, the prince has the support of Hu Qianqiu and he will most likely get the position of monster king. It seems like those hidden sects wouldn’t create too much problem for him. Madam, you don’t need to worry too much…”

Zong Shou couldn’t help but feel surprised, glancing at this person. This person was really amazing, his words were really smart, what an indirect method, what a great way to advance by retreating!

Only this person knew the situation would be like that but he still said those words out. Did he really have something to rely on to turn Xuan Mountain City from a dangerous position to safety? What was he thinking about?

Looking at Xuanyuan Tong’s face, it was suddenly green and then white, changing quickly.

That Luo Xian seemed like he couldn’t listen anymore, he angrily scoffed, “What kind of words is that? 15 years ago our Xuan Mountain City had less than 100 thousand troops. We ruled just 800 miles of land but were still able to stand up in this Tianlan province. Now that we have tens of thousands of miles of land, with many subordinate towns, we have a million troops. Why should we be afraid of so much? City Lord! I don’t care so much, I have seen miss Yiren grow up, I will definitely not let her marry a piece of trash and scum!”

Zong Shou’s lips couldn’t help but spasm. Today. he was going to have a new word of “scum” on his forehead. Only this moment he didn’t bother about it, only feeling the alcohol in his body start surging and raging, his brain became really blur and he didn’t dare to stop removing the alcohol essence from his body.

Xuanyuan Tong’s brows were tightly furrowed, after a short while he sighed slightly, “Yiren you can leave first!”

Xuanyuan Yiren was dumbfounded as she raised her head, just as she was about to speak she saw that Xuanyuan Tong’s expression was really solemn. He didn’t allow her to speak as he opened his mouth, “Get out!”

Xuanyuan Yiren’s heart instantly sunk, hesitating for a short moment before getting up and walking out of the hall. Before leaving she looked worriedly at Zong Shou, only to see his face was flushing red. She couldn’t help but feel surprised but she didn’t have much effort to think too much. When they split 3 months ago Zong Shou had promised her that he would handle this matter well. He would definitely be able to make Xuanyuan Tong change his mind.

Once Xuanyuan Yiren walked out of the hall and the doors closed once more did he fill up the wine glass in front of him to the brim, saying expressionlessly, “Actually we should end this matter early. Before you came I was still hesitating but now that I see you, I have made my mind up. Why can’t the prince give up on this marriage?”

Zong Shou’s mind couldn’t think clearly anymore. He wanted to reject, argue against it. However, all his thoughts had run wild. His eyes looked lost as he thought for a long while, unable to form any thoughts, he could only shake his head, “No!”

Xuanyuan Tong frowned slightly, “Then prince, what must happen for you to give up? I’m in the wrong here so no matter what you want, money, troops, as long as it is within my ability I will do it for you! If you really made up your mind I will help you reach the position of Gantian Mountain prince.”

Zong Shou thought about it and then he spoke, “Xuanyuan City lord, you only have one daughter Yiren right?”

Everyone in the hall was startled. Just as they didn’t know what he meant, Zong Shou smiled, “If I marry her then wouldn’t this entire Xuan Mountain City be mine in the future? Anyways I’ll definitely marry her! I like her as my wife!”

Even the few people behind Zong Shou were mouth agape. After Hu Zhongyuan was shocked, he revealed a respectful expression. As expected from the prince! How envious.

When Fang Shu heard that he burst out laughing, “It’s the first time I have seen such a shameless person! Words have been said to such a degree but your skin is so thick. It is not wrong to say that you are scum!”

Li Sina was so furious her face turned green. Luo Xian tightly gripped her fists, her joints giving out an explosive crack like she wished to just crush Zong Shou. She resisted the anger and laughed coldly, “My family’s Yiren is top talent! At 12 she was chosen as a direct disciple by Pill Fountain City. Her pill refining skills are unparalleled. What ability do you have to match up to her? What skill do you have to keep her safe? The city lord asked you to give you face. Even if Xuan Mountain City annul this marriage what can you do? Do you believe I can destroy you here today?”

“Shut up!”

Xuanyuan Tong hollered, causing that Luo Xian to keep quiet. Following which he said coldly, “He might be a little vulgar but he’s not wrong. Even if I forcefully annul this marriage what can you do?”

“What can I do?”

Zong Shou was startled, following which he muttered, his eyes shining. A period of memory that had been sealed for long flashed across in his eyes. Instantly rage surged out from his chest, the vengeance that he had forgotten for long had shown itself and crashed around in his brain.

He didn’t think about it, just pulling out his sword, eyes widened, looking really red, “if you destroy the marriage I will beat you up!”
