Divine Brilliance - Chapter 251
Chapter 251: Chapter 251 Killing and Setting Fire
“It’s Zong Shou! I saw him 3 years ago. His appearance is similar, but he’s just a little bigger!”
“With Zong Gang and Hu Zhongyuan following him, it shouldn’t be wrong. The person behind him should be purple lightning spear Zong Yuan…”
“It is him! He took only one spear to kill Fang Xu. This kid comprehended the maniac lightning spear sense!”
At the peak of the mountain, they were in deep discussion. Zong Shi’s arms were clenched tight, and his joints gave rise to a cracking sound. However, the sound was soft, hidden within his sleeves. His face didn’t change, and others couldn’t see carefully. They still thought that the young master was still really confident and unaffected.
However, his heart was filled with fear, unable to calm himself down. In an instant, he pretty much was about to think that Zong Shiyuan was betraying them and did something behind his back.
However, when he looked over expressionlessly, he saw Zong Shiyuan’s face ashen white, like his soul was out of his body.
Thinking about it carefully, numerous months ago, You Wusheng was already secretly recruited by him. The Xue Family, since they thought about wanting to have a joint marriage, started to lean towards his side. Only then did his doubts get slowly cleared.
Zong Shi could calm himself down whilst Zong Ming was furious, his face dark and sunken as he looked behind him.
“I would like to know how exactly Zong Shou return to Gantian Mountain? DIdn’t we say that he needed at least one more day to return to Gantian?”
Zong Ming was looking at was a robbed male. He was a 6 meridian martial ancestor. When he noticed Zong Ming’s gaze, cold sweat trickled down as he bent his body and explained, “Roughly 3 days ago my forces checked that Zong Shou and Zong Gang were at the west of Gulang Forest, leading 2 thousand elite cavalry into the forest. Then, we knew nothing about their tracks. The black fox iron cavalry excels in spiritual techniques, illusionary techniques, and hiding their tracks. Even if we want to trace them, it is tougher than ascending the heavens. However, my subordinates said that even if they went all out, they would need one more day to be able to reach Gantian Mountain…”
Zong Ming’s expression changed as he scoffed coldly, slapping directly on the general of the cavalry scout’s face.
He was still surging with furry. However, just as he was about to move his leg to kick the fellow away, Zong Shi shook his head and said expressionlessly, “Uncle don’t be angry! This person has done his job. He is not wrong, it is not his fault…”
Within his chest, shock and astonishment raised.
West of Gulang Forest then he couldn’t be wrong. To be able to rush here at such a time, they had to pass the Zhenshan Pass.
Who knows how exactly did Zong Shou and the others manage that?
He remembered that half a day ago he had contacted You Wusheng. These people would have to have used less than half a day to take down that pass… even if someone beat him to death, he wouldn’t believe it.
Did they grow wings and flew across that evil spirit moat?
He could roughly feel the mocking gazes coming from the Zhengan peak from tens of thousands of feet away.
Zong Shi couldn’t help but feel like the blood and internal energy within his body flow in the opposite direction, anger charging at his heart.
He was originally filled with confidence, but the sudden return of Zong Shou made him feel uneasy.
He scoffed coldly. So what if he returned? His plan was enough to crush the opponent to the abyss, unable to fight a way back.
He was originally planning to show some mercy, but now, violence and viciousness exploded out within his heart. Tens of miles of distance under the buff of the spirit master spell beside him, he swept the situation within the city and looked at Zong Shou’s neck.
His thoughts were dark and cold. Zong Weiran’s old forces were asking for it!
Did they think that a person who couldn’t cultivate could be stable as the monster king? If it wasn’t for him having other thoughts in his heart, he could casually pinch him to death!
However, the current situation wasn’t bad too. If he ascended the throne, the first thing he did would be to slay Zong Shou and hang his head up for show for 3 months!
In order to end the dreams of a few people, and also to destroy the pride of the old Zong Weiran’s forces, he would slay Zong Shou!
Even if the entire Gantian Mountian tore up into factions and decreased their strength, he didn’t care!
Since he couldn’t recruit them and use them as his own, then why not get rid of them early on? He didn’t believe that these people would disregard the life and death of people from their race!
Making his mind up, Zong Shi’s eyes were calm and quiet whilst also revealing viciousness.
Tens of miles out, that ant-sized Zong Shou was a dead person in his eyes.
“…All of you don’t have to worry. Zong Shou’s return might not be a bad thing. I should say that it is exactly what I want. Weren’t we afraid that Hu Qianqiu and the others weren’t come over to Chongzhen Hall? If they don’t arrive, how will we capture them all? Now it will be a little more problematic, but it isn’t that huge of a matter…”
Hearing that, Zong Ming’s eyes lit up once more, revealing a look of deep thought. Whilst Zong Hao and the others looked over worryingly.
The talent of this future monster king was terrifying. If it was anyone else, Zong Shou rushing back at this moment would stun and scare them.
Zong Ming had instantly thought about how it was a good thing, using it to stabilize their hearts. Even if everyone knew that the situation was impossible to be as simple as he said, their hearts calmed down slightly.
“However Fang Xu has already died. We will be unable to control the east city army. Our power is slightly weaker there.”
Turning his head and taking in a deep breath, Zong Shi suddenly smiled towards Zong Ming, “Uncle, please make a trip to the Chai family to try to persuade uncle Chai Yuan. If Gantian Mountain city is destroyed this time, it wouldn’t be good. Gantain Mountain in our hands although unable to suppress all sides, but we will be able to preserve ourselves. It is at least better than falling into the hands of some trash. The moment this matter is settled, I will help give their wind bear race a city of the land. Also, 3rd uncle, I know that your relationship with the Lin family is good, I’m afraid I need to busy you…”
Just as he was talking to Zong Hao, he thought that Zong Shou wouldn’t stop at the city gate after returning because it was such a stupid decision. Seeing that everyone around was silent once more, he was stunned and looked down once more.
He saw the 5 towns of troops defending beside the east city gate suddenly formed up, following the main path and move north. They moved extremely quickly, in a moment they covered close to 2 miles.
Along with the ten thousand that Zong Shou brought over, a total of 70 thousand troops waltzed towards the north city.
Why was Zong Shou moving to the north city? The essence of Gantian City was the south City. If he wanted to gather up with Hu Qianqiu and Qiu Wei he wouldn’t go there either.
Just as he was feeling weird, Zong Shi’s eyes suddenly stopped at an area.
That place was where the wind bear race gathered which was also where Chai Yuan’s residence was at!
Frowning and thinking about it, he still didn’t have an idea. In the end, he could only shake his head, breaking out into a laugh. Zong Shou was surprising, actually doing things he had no clue about.
Was he going there to recruit Chai Yuan? But without enough benefits and trump cards, the wind bear race leader wasn’t so easy to recruit.
…
Gantian City occupied a large amount of land, 70 thousand troops from east to north and 30 odd miles of the journey also similarly took an hour.
On this journey up there, Zong Gang and the others recruited many scattered troops and also followed Zong Shou’s orders and spread about, forcefully recruiting race members. No matter old, weak, strong, or woman they were all grabbed over. When they finally reached their destination the 60 thousand strong army had swelled to 200 thousand.
In front of him was where the wind bear race gathered. The 80 thousand wind bear soldiers seemed to sense that something wasn’t right. They filled up the important paths and waited solemnly.
Zong Gang and Su Man who were commanding the troops all didn’t go forward. They ordered the troops in an orderly manner to spread out around here. The few of them were experienced and although some of their troops were just gathered, they were looking like a proper army.
There was only Zong Yuan, Tan Tao, Hu Zhongyuan, and Li Luo beside Zong Shou. Tan Tao was an outsider. The former had led close to ten thousand elite cavalry. Hu Zhongyuan and Li Luo were the generals of bodyguards. Choosing a thousand of the stronger ones from ten thousand, who had chosen a fixed side to protect Zong Shou.
Including the black fox iron cavalry and the mysterious armor wind dragon cavalry, there were close to ten thousand of them which were all well equipped and well trained.
However, it was evident that the aura of the wind bear private army was much stronger. There was only 80 thousand of them, each close to 10 feet tall, their muscles firm and they looked burly.
However, at that moment, Hu Zhongyuan didn’t care at all. Instead, he was worrying for them, “Prince this is a little inappropriate right? This is a little too vicious. In the end, we will still meet them.”
Tan Tao frowned, looking at that fellow in despise, “How is this vicious? On the battlefield, one must go all out. The prince is wise! Without using such swift actions, how can he settle the big races?”
Hu Zhongyuan was unhappy, scoffing coldly, “You aren’t from Gantian Mountain. Naturally, you can not bother about it…”
Zong Shou couldn’t help but roll his eyes, acting like he didn’t hear the quarrel occurring beside him. He stood on a 4 story high building and looked into the distance.
Instantly, a rumbling sound broke out. His eyes lit up and knew that the front had begun.
He saw dust rumble and mud fly. The people he grabbed over were being forced by those support troops to forcefully demolish the houses. No matter what building it was, it was being torn down.
A huge area was emptied, coincidentally revealing the home of the wind bear race to the close to ten thousand strong cavalry army.
There was also close to ten thousand armored soldiers who brought over siege chariots, crossbow carriages, and cannons, all lining them up.
The 12 thousand archers of the east camp army all lit up fire arrows, arming on their bowstrings and were all well prepared.
Seeing the situation, Zong Shou touched his chin in satisfaction before he looked at the sky.
“It’s a southeast wind. What a great time to set fire and kill people…”
Just as he was about to give the order, he heard a holler in the distance, “Stop!”
Zong Shou’s brows furrowed and looked out. He saw an exceptionally burly figure walk out from the wind bear race private army, bringing with him several other men.
