Chapter 184 - Xuanwu attacks
Tan Tao had his own thoughts as he looked at the carriage, which was crashing about unrestrained on the streets, “Actually a year ago I met Hu Zhongyuan. I deduced that this person had lost his sharpness and would be unable to break through the 6th earth meridian within 10 years. He needed some time to comprehend the things of the world and not be blinded by the power to improve. That Zong Yuan was the same. Although he was really talented, his spear technique had flaws. It would be tough to improve. However looking at him now, not only did he broke the martial ancestor realm, his spear technique seemed more coherent. Who knows what did these two people faced…”
Looking at the look of impatience on Li Sina’s face. Tan Tao smiled and kept silent, “These two people, one is the eldest son of the iron tiger race, the other is the brightest star in the Zong branch family. It seems they are both willing to work for that Zong Shou, risking it all to stir the storm in our city. What a surprise!”
Li Sina wasn’t a dumb person and was startled. Her expression turned solemn, “So you are saying that Hu Qianqiu and Zong Yang have leaned towards Zong Shou? How is that possible? That’s right. If these two are only protecting him back to Gantian Mountain they wouldn’t need to go all out like this!”
Tan Tao’s tone was really expressionless, “I don’t know about that Zong Yang. Who knows it might be Zong Yuan acting on his own accord, but Hu Qianqiu putting his eldest son here speaks a lot about his attitude.”
Li Sina’s expression changed once more. Although she was a girl she roughly knew about the situation at Gantian Mountain. Qiu Wei had control of 30% of the army. If it added the iron tiger race, a large part of Gantian Mountain would Lena towards Zong Shou. If they added in Zong Yang, then everyone else wouldn’t have a chance.
Her eyes were unstable, both annoyed and uncomprehending. Just at this moment, a guy beside her scoffed coldly, “Who cares about Hu Qianqiu and Zong Yuan. These two people are so unrestrained. They really think our Xuan Mountain City has no one! They insulted our city lord. That’s all the more reason to kill them! Tan Tao can take it but I, Luo Xian, can’t. It is great if I can use the blood of these two to sacrifice to my ancient sun ax! If they make me angry I will even slay that Zong Shou…”
That person was only 34-35 years old, he held an old copper ax, and his face slightly red. The messy mustache of his looked like steel needles. Before this, he didn’t speak so no one bothered about him. Now that he spoke, he gave off an arrogant aura. He jumped, down from this 500 feet high tower. Stepping on the ground and instantly giving out an explosion. Following which he took a few steps and was miles away, quickly heading towards the direction of that chaos.
Just as Li Sina gave out a happy smile, her face turned cold, revealing a mocking expression, “Luo Xian loves to kill and has an arrogant character. Since he dares say those words, he wouldn’t hold back and would take the lives of Hu Zhongyuan and Zong Yuan. Why didn’t general Tan stop him?”
“No need! The lives of these two aren’t in his hands but in the hands of the city lord!”
Tan Tao shook his head, not caring at all. Following which his tone changed, “Madam might have misunderstood something. Even if this Zong Shou is a little smart and obtained the help of Hu Qianqiu, he still isn’t a good partner of miss Yiren. That trash isn’t good enough. Be it her future or the future of our city, this wedding is best ended earlier.”
Li Sina went from worried to happy. However, the look in her eyes hadn’t faded away.
Tan Tao didn’t even need to see and knew her thoughts, smiling as he explained, “Don’t worry madam, do you think a city lord is a person who cares about his face and reputation?”
“How can he be?”
Her brows raised up. She was really clear about the personality of her husband. “If he really cared about his reputation, he wouldn’t have married me who was a demon Sect disciple, bringing huge problems for Xuan Mountain City…”
“That’s right! He doesn’t care about his name, just miss Yiren. Madam needs to act on this, no matter how those few people scold it wouldn’t change his mind. This prince seems really strong. The more he enters Gantian Mountain matters the more worried the city lord would be.”
Tan Tao nodded his head, his tone was really confident like he was giving pointers to someone,” However, just in case, we must spread the news about this prince out. That Yunxia Mountain, Blazing Flame Mountain didn’t know his tracks before. Now that he showed himself those two Monster Kings wouldn’t allow him to live! It’s best if this prince dies sooner.”
Li Sina was originally really surprised, but when she heard this her face turned ashen white, revealing disapproval. Tan Tao didn’t care, smiling as he bowed to Xuanyuan Yiren, “Miss Yiren don’t hate me. I plan for your future and the future of Xuan Mountain City and it’s people. Please don’t blame me if I make you unhappy!”
She curled her lips in disdain. She originally thought this person would be different from others but in the end, he was the same.
The human heart was like that. Tens of years ago when her father married her mother and incurred the rough of hundreds of thousands of troops which surrendered Xuan Mountain City. Relying on the help of Gantian Mountain they managed to survive. A few years early, Zong Weiran helped save Xuan Mountain City’s hundreds of thousands of people. Speaking of which a large half of the people in the city needed to thank him.
The millions in the city seemed to have forgotten about Zong Weiran’s kindness to them.
She was wondering if kindness ever mattered in the times that they were living in…
Her rage and anger towards Zong Shou had faded a large part. Pretty much all of the people didn’t care about Zong Shou. Some even hated him to the bone. It wasn’t much for Zong Shou to scold a bit over there. If it was her, she would have been furious.
For some reason, she felt sad and wanted to cry about Zong Shou’s treatment.
Cultivating with dual meridian bodies, since young he also faced many tough betrayals. To think that he smiled so brightly usually.
However, the pity of others was unnecessary to him. Even if he was hit into the depths of hell, he would climb out with his two hands. Usually, he seemed really causal life he didn’t care about anything, but he had a spine that couldn’t be broken.
She stopped thinking about her ideals, only staring at the carriage in the distance, her mind wandering off.
…
The long streets were filled with killing shouts. Hu Zhongyuan and Zong Yuan, one in front of the other at the back, galloped on the several hundred feet wide streets. The carriage that Zong Shou sat on followed closely behind.
The group of them were really swift and didn’t stop at all. But this street started to be swarmed by large amounts of closely packed soldiers. However, before they could form up, under Zhongyuan’s tiger king knife, they weren’t able to block for a moment before being broken down. Under Zong Yuan’s purple spear, very few people could back down unharmed.
Apart from that brute with the spear and those few martial ancestors, no one could block the two for even a moment. Allowing the 2 Windrider foals to charge around on the streets.
At the moment, they were just a few miles away from that lord manor. Zong Shou with his xiantian cultivation focused his eyes and could clearly see the situation above. As expected, that girl was Xuanyuan Yiren but her eyes didn’t move as she looked over in a daze.
“Weird! Did this girl think about me too much these few months? Why is she so stunned?”
Zong Shou felt weird deep down, following which he was gleeful. Thinking that after he reincarnated, did he become a loving saint? He was able to make this Xuanyuan Yiren love him so quick. In the last life, he didn’t have such a skill.
He then touched his face and was thinking if it had something to do with his new looks. Following which he only felt Ruo Shui straighten her back, the sword in her hand was gripped tight.
“Prince they have sent archers!”
Zong Shou’s brows furrowed as he looked outside the window. As expected, a bunch of martial cultivators jumped onto the roofs on both sides. They held many strong bows and large crossbows as they pointed in this direction.
These marital masters only had 2500 kilograms of strength. If they were alone even if they were accurate they couldn’t do anything to a martial ancestor expert with skin like iron. But if thousands of arrows covered now then what had to be careful.
If amongst them there were ten over xiantian masters shooting 50 thousand kilogram bows then they might be able to kill martial ancestors.
Zong Shou scoffed coldly. If these people really used bows, he was happy to play with them. Naturally, he had his ways of dealing with them.
In the next moment, his eyes constricted, only feeling a strong aura appear through the air, arriving above the sky.
…earth chakra 7 meridian, xuanwu ancestor!
Hu Zhongyuan felt it long ago, exploding all his strength at the first moment. The tiger king sword energy charged to 990 feet as it stabbed into the sky!
At the same time, an old copper-colored giant ax appeared a thousand feet above and chopped down.
When the knife and ax clashed, the entire stone street ended up in pieces. Pretty much all the houses within 8 thousand feet were smashed by the wind and were in terrible shape.
Hu Zhongyuan could only feel a slight sweetness in his mouth, his body and limbs seemed like they were about to be crushed. His body also flew backward because of this strong power. He slid 2 thousand feet on the ground before finally stopping.
Just as his energy was chaotic and he couldn’t use a single bit of it, that giant ax only stopped for a slight moment before chasing swiftly. The vast and sky covering ax strength seemed like it was about to crush him.
Hu Zhongyuan stared out in fury, trying to stand up to fight once more. Numerous wounds exploded around his body, the energy he raised up dissipated. His heart sank and he couldn’t help but laugh coldly, he was most probably going to die today.
He was really crazy today. Why did he listen to the prince to go all out and charge? The iron tiger race had a weakness. Once their blood boiled, they would forget about everything. His mind really got muddy, this time he was definitely going to die.
