Divine Brilliance - Chapter 552
Chapter 552: Peak period
“It is up to you if you want to wipe out my Xu family! Only after today would you have such ability? Do you really think that you won? My ruler is intelligent and capable, the things he planned out are definitely not what the likes of you can imagine.”
Xiongyu was startled when she heard that. Things he planned out? What plans?
No matter how strong Zong Shou was, did he have something that could survive the combined efforts of the various sects and retreat safely?
Following which Xu Zhengyuan’s voice was filled with mocking intent, “The likes of you have waited for these few days, thinking that Gantian Mountain would fall apart. However in my eyes, the one that would fall is your Donglin Sects. Just wait and see! The 10 years hatred; today I have taken revenge! Feels good!”
Hearing these few words, Xiong Yu nearly broke out into laughter. This Xu Zhengyuan seemed to have really gone mad, his brain was totally messed up which was why he did such stupid things!
Destroying the sects? What a joke!
However the moment she thought back to the deaths of those five thousand Dao Soldier Elite Cavalry, she wasn’t able to laugh anymore.
The twenty-four ten thousand men formed strong square formations on the side of Gantian Mountain along with the two hundred thousand people from Cloud Saint City, were bearing down.
Although they were slow, their aura was like that of a mountain. When they travelled they adjusted their formations, even if there were flaws they were instantly fixed. These were the methods of people good at the art of war, stable when they changed formations whilst also being exceptionally beautiful.
Without being restricted by the dao soldiers, these Gantian Mountain elites didn’t have to worry about anything anymore, spreading all over and showing off their strengths.
Xiong Yu only felt her head hurt, then she looked up into the sky. Before this, she felt that the dark clouds came at the wrong time but at this moment she really wished for it to rain right away.
However she was stunned, only to see that the clouds had for some reason spread out once more. The area that was exposed showed the rising sun.
She was stunned for a long while before she came back to her senses.
What is happening? Even the heavens want her to end up in huge defeat.
“Oh, the clouds have scattered! This time even the heavens are on our side…”
At the same time Zong Ling looked up into the sky, his eyes were filled with a weird look before he retracted his gaze, shaking his head and breaking out into laughter.
“It seems like today we might really have a chance to crush the enemy in front of us!”
Then one person in the distance could be seen riding the horse over. Turns out, it was Cloud Saint City lord Xu Zhengyuan. Zong Ling followed Qiuwei and bowed, Zong Shou seems to treat this person really well.
Even without all this, this person rebelled at the front of the formation, preventing Gantian Mountain to suffer hundreds of thousands of losses, that was worth them bowing to him!
Xu Zhengyuan swiftly dodged, saying that he didn’t dare to accept it. His eyes glowed up and asked, “What is the situation over at the mountain?”
He knew that although they won here but it wasn’t enough to decide the entire war. The crucial battle was still on Mysterious Cloud Mountain. As long as Zong Shou was able to safely return from there, it would be enough to decide the entire situation.
Qiuwei shook his head, following which he took out a message talisman and passed it to Xu Zhengyuan, “We still don’t know the details! However an hour ago, news spread from there that the ruler led four thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry up Mysterious Cloud Mountain, raising the Blood Kill Twin Flags to destroy millions of enemies of Thousand City Alliance! The Lingyun Sect Cloud Dragon Iron Swordsman, Mysterious Cloud Mountain Lightning Warrior, and Daoming Sect Daoling Mysterious Wind Warriors, collapsing without even fighting. Today they are all about to be wiped out. At this moment the ruler is making his way up the mountain…”
Xu Zhengyuan was out of sorts, his first thought was that Qiuwei was lying to him.
Following which he felt that it couldn’t be it. He had already rebelled and had no way out, so what was the use of saying these lies to him?
He used his spiritual sense to read the message talisman, it was really what Qiuwei mentioned but how was that true?
Just now he said that these few days would be when the Donglin Sects are wiped out, that was just from the tip of his tongue and he really didn’t think that it would really come true.
With only four thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry? It could cause the elites of the sects, thousands of grade-6 dao soldiers falling on their own without fighting, what kind of joke is that?
Slow down! Blood Cloud Cavalry, wasn’t that the cavalry the Wulie Country used to rule the world ten thousand years ago?
It should be that. Apart from that, there was no other possibility!
Not long ago he heard Ling Xueyun mention that Zong Shou had shocking trump cards. That in this battle he would definitely be able to defeat the Donglin sects. However, Ling Xueyun didn’t mention the specifics of what trump cards there were.
So it was such an elite cavalry that was able to sweep an entire world!
His gaze shining before he looked up and laughed out loud. He didn’t think that it was inappropriate for Zong Shou to hide things from him. Such a matter was one that he really couldn’t let others find out.
He felt really delighted! This time it seems like he would be able to fully take revenge!
He knew that Zong Shou would rule over Donglin sooner or later, that one day he would chase Lingyun Sect out of this continent!
What he didn’t know was that it would occur several years earlier than what he had expected!
Zong Ling at the side smiled when he saw that, not blaming Xu Zhengyuan from acting out of sorts.
An hour ago, wasn’t his mood similar? Even now he found it difficult to calm himself down.
Looking in front of him, at this vast army, he felt emotional.
In the past, he followed Zong Weiran when he started out from nothing, when did he expect that he would have such a day?
He also remembered the day when the ruler went missing in Oblivion Cloud Ocean, how low spirited he felt, that Gantian Mountain was about to fall.
At that time he didn’t expect that Zong Shou could use such a strong stance to kill his way back to Gantian Mountain, to snatch back the Monster King position.
He also didn’t expect this teen ruler who no one had high hopes for, would win war after war.
Within several months he had reclaimed his lost land, expanding by ten thousand miles. Today they even had a chance to unify Donglin!
Not long later he would be able to start his country and be called a king…
A bright glow shone in Zong Ling’s eyes, following which he raised his head and looked up into the sky.
Ruler, ruler, are you seeing it?
The Ruler has already achieved your life goal for you! Within Gantian Mountain, he was loved by tens of thousands. Now he was about to unify Donglin!
Our Gantian Mountain Sky Fox Zong family was going to prosper!
This Subject had no more regrets in this life. Only willing to help the past ruler and the current ruler to defend this hard to get legacy!
However, they still needed to wait. The ruler hadn’t wiped out Mysterious Cloud Sect which was why there were still many changes and they couldn’t get over their heads.
Qiuwei was still really calm, giving out military orders after order. He looked composed as usual however he didn’t notice that his shirt and robes were already torn by the energy raging due to his emotions.
At this moment he felt something and looked towards the northeast. That was where Mysterious Cloud Mountain was at…
This aura, how strong! Ten thousand miles away and it was still so strong like it was above grade-9?
The moment such a thought flashed across, a worry rose from the depths of Qiuwei’s eyes.
In the next instance, the horizon in the distance was completely dark.
Similarly, looking in the direction of the mountain was also Xiong Yu and Zu Renkuang. They exchanged glances with one another, their faces dark and sunken.
In that instance both of them felt, at the same time, an extremely strong and intense fear!
※※※※
Gantian Mountain Zhengang Peak, within the meeting hall.
At this moment it was boisterous and noisy, hundreds of people were discussing, gathered within this main hall. They were either discussing or fighting; it was chaotic.
“One must be careful of dangers! Doesn’t His Highness understand such a theory? He obviously knows that it is a trap so why did he still want to go to Mysterious Cloud Mountain?”
“Damn, if the Ruler was here why did he need to fear that Thousand City Alliance? For a Xuan Mountain princess, it was not worth it!”
“The Ruler is lustful and has many people he likes, it is simply too inappropriate. However the Donglin Sects are simply too despicable!”
“Anyways, my Yuan family would fight to the death! Even if the Ruler is already dead, we will bring our private army to go up against them!”
“Have you thought about it? The sects are strong. Unless we really have no choice, shouldn’t we be extremely careful?”
“What careful? Our race had received 2 generations of good graces from the ruler and the last ruler, naturally, we should be loyal to death!”
“I should be considered a new Gantian subject, but I won’t be willing to change a city lord even if I die. If it was any other, would I still have a chance to speak like this?”
“However, now with the danger ahead, we have no choice even if we are unwilling!”
“Damn it! This Feihai City also betrayed, I knew these people couldn’t be trusted!”
“That Leqing City lord was even worse! He wants us to surrender without fighting, to kill the officials our Gantian Mountain sent over to their city and to use their heads to sacrifice on the flags. They deserve to die!”
“Damn it! I will return, using my troops to quell the rebellion! At most we will go all out against them!”
Renbo was unperturbed, sitting at the main spot in the hall, not bothering about the discussion within the hall.
He had confidence, so naturally he was unfazed at all. An hour ago the news from Mysterious Cloud Mountain had caused his heart to totally calm down.
He just needed to wait quietly for a moment and the news of Zong Shou’s victory would be spread back.
Although he was a little worried in his heart, he was already planning on how to mobilize the various grain and resources, to support the troops to continue to fight.
The first action would be to wipe out the rebels and clearing Donglin which needed to proceed at the same time.
If you don’t take what the heavens give you, you would be punished instead. They couldn’t miss such a chance in case things change, as such he couldn’t delay anything either.
Just as he thought that way, a bitter smile appeared, “The prime minister is so calm. Gantian Mountain’s fate is uncertain but you are still composed. Xushu doesn’t have this ability, I feel really uneasy and nervous!”
Renbo glanced over, only to see that the person who spoke, Xushu, was a participant of the meeting. Within this hall, he was one of the leaders of the two hundred human race members.
Smiling, Renbo didn’t bother. Xushu asked once more, “Just now prime minister received a message talisman, did you get some news?”
His eyes were like a knife, forcefully staring over. Renbo slightly hesitated before shaking his head.
The contents of the talisman alone could be told to others.
However even if he did tell them these people probably wouldn’t believe it right?
To say that their ruler had already led four Thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry and had already won at Mysterious Cloud Mountain? The twelve hundred grade-6 dao soldiers the sects sent out didn’t even show themselves and they were wiped out. Wouldn’t such words sound like a fairytale?
They wouldn’t even know where the Blood Cloud Cavalry came from and what their past was.
Even him, who was knowledgeable, found out after flipping books.
At this moment outside the hall, two golden rays descended. Renbo took one of the following which he smiled,” General Qiu has already destroyed the main force of Thousand City Alliance, slaying millions, now they are chasing victory…”
One word caused this meeting hall to boil up. Then Renbo grabbed the other message talisman.
