Divine Brilliance - Chapter 594

Chapter 594: Sure Win Scheme

“This is the Xue Family race army? As expected, they are all elites!”

This was within Gantian Mountain City, a short building close to the city gates.

Looking out from here, one could see units of soldiers wearing Gantian Mountain crafted armor, using the night sky as cover to sneakily enter the city.

There were people within Gantian Mountain coordinating, along with rising moon illusionary techniques. At the sides of the street, although there were many commoners, no one noticed this weird movement.

“Black iron fox race, moon scar fox race, sword fox race… Heh, these ancient fox branch races actually didn’t go totally extinct…”

Qiuwei was said without expression as he sized up these soldiers.

Although there were troops from other races entering the city, he wasn’t nervous at all.

“I heard that the Xue Family sky fox race brought them all away. After all, running an outside world needs manpower. These people were the strongest fighting races out of all fox races. If not for them disappearing, our fox race wouldn’t have ended up in near extinction and didn’t need to move from the central continent over to Donglin.”

The one who spoke was a slightly dispirited teen, who obviously hadn’t cleaned himself up in a long time. His mustache was long and he spoke whilst drinking wine in big gulps.

“Not only these 100 thousand elites, I heard that a large portion of the Xue Family fox race have returned to the Cloud World. Now, there are six more cloud ships outside. Not only were there 300-thousand fox armies, but there were also a million of their people.”

Qiuwei listened silently, since Zong Shiyuan broke one of his arms three years ago.

On one side, he was ashamed and on the other hand, he unknowingly blamed Zong Shou for it. In the end, he became a totally free man in Gantian Mountain.

Zong Shou sparing him showed that he was a good ruler. However, he wasn’t so magnanimous until he could easily pardon enemies.

Qiuwei also found it a waste. A person who was the only relative of the king, just because of a wrong choice, fell from the skies and into the dirt.

However, it wasn’t time for one to feel emotional about this matter.

“How do you know that this is a trap placed by the Xue Family? How would you believe that the right pillar Zong wasn’t controlled by people?”

When those words were said, Qiuwei’s expression turned cold. In truth, he didn’t trust Zong Shiyuan much.

Since he could betray the ruler once, then who could say he wouldn’t betray him another time.

He might be controlled by the Xue Family to use these words to calm him down.

If it wasn’t for him being rational, he knew that, at this moment, the millions of troops of Gantian Mountain were spread outside to manage the various cities.

Before the Blood Cloud Cavalry returned with the defending troops of Gantian Mountain, they were definitely not the opponents of the Xue Family. He would have definitely attacked and destroyed the Xue Family race army first before talking.

Zong Shiyuan was stunned when he heard this and then he burst out in maniacal laughter, “Controlled? We are all Eight Tails so how can we be controlled?”

Whilst he spoke, he forced out a bit of blood from his finger tip and let it hang in mid air. It was fresh red with a bit of gold.

Qiuwei looked at it and didn’t make a sound. The power of the bloodline was several times stronger and purer than before, when they were the seven tail Zong Family.

Even if they weren’t Eight Tails they would not be far from it.

Thinking about it for a moment, Qiuwei was really curious, “I barely believe it! Only I am still finding it weird. You not only have no intentions to alert them and instead willingly help them spread out news. You should know that the ruler won’t easily forgive your past actions…”

“You think of me in such a way?”

Zong Weiran’s expression was still ice cold, and seeing Qiuwei’s expression not change, a bright light shone in his eyes. He turned around with a complicated expression, “It wasn’t that I didn’t have such thoughts. The Xue Family also thought that I hated Zong Shou badly, and as long as they gave me a high position, I would be loyal to them. They also thought that their bloodline was higher than mine and that I wouldn’t be able to escape their control, which was why they allowed me to walk around. However, what they didn’t know was that in my eyes, they had already lost. No matter what, the outcome was set. Who knows, these many branch races under them will all benefit my nephew…”

“Oh?”

Qiuwei’s brows rose, this time he was really surprised.

Xue Family would definitely lose? Even with Zong Gang and the others coordinating, Zong Shou leading the Blood Cloud Cavalry back, he didn’t dare say that they would 100 percent win this battle.

How could Zong Shiyuan have so much confidence?

Zong Shiyuan didn’t say any more, quietly looking at his hand.

He broke out into a laugh once more, that person really didn’t die. That father and son, both are Nine Tails…

If he knew this was the case why would he have made that mistake?

Speaking of which, he could be considered Zong Weiran and Zong Shou’s relative and should have received the most benefits, in terms of bloodline.

However, at this moment, he was totally unable to be happy.

He looked upward and could feel a mysterious and strong aura hiding in the sky above Gantian Mountain.

If not for this person suppressing the many people of the Zong Family within the city, he wouldn’t be able to get the 100,000 Xue Family people to yield to him. If this was usual, one wouldn’t be able to sense it.

Who knows what cultivation he had reached.

However, his laughter contained a trace of mocking intent.

This person’s bloodline purity couldn’t even be compared to him. How could he deal with Zong Shou? That Nine Tail star tattoo, sky race king, lord of destiny?

How amusing and tragic!

Qiuwei’s heart was filled with many doubts but for some reason, his tight mental state was much more relaxed now.

Although he didn’t trust the character of this Zong Shiyuan that much, Qiuwei could feel that his words were most probably not fake!

※※※※

At this moment, within the cloud layer, Xue Mofei was filled with satisfaction and ambition as he looked downward.

Groups of armored soldiers entered the city and they had silently occupied the various important points of the Gantian Mountain.

All the strong bows and heavy crossbows were all transported in. Apart from that, there was a mysterious energy destruction formation.

The strongest power of Gantian Mountain was undoubtedly the Blood Cloud Cavalry and this was the crucial point of this battle.

He could control Zong Shou and most probably could threaten the blood cavalry to surrender. However, there was nothing bad about preparing for the worst and defending against those unlikely matters.

It was best if he could recruit the Blood Cloud Cavalry. At that time, the Xue Family would be able to gain a total stable footing in the Cloud World. Their strength could be compared to the first three shrines and even the five Vast Habitats.

However, if they couldn’t, then he could only think of a way to wipe all of them out to erase his regret!

“Zong Gang really surrendered? I heard that he was always loyal to Zong Weiran and Zong Shou! Why would he surrender so easily?”

The voice seemed to be coming from a ball of nothingness. Be it spiritual sense or five senses, one was unable to sense anything.

Xue Mofei was really respectful, bowing, “It is all thanks to your highness’ strength! Our Xue Family winning is already confirmed so what can he do if he doesn’t surrender?”

As he said this, he laughed coldly, “Those three people are really stubborn. The reason why they agreed to allow the troops into the city was probably because they had other thoughts. At this stage, as long as we don’t make a mistake, they can’t cause many problems. This is forced by circumstance…”

“What you say makes sense!”

The voice sounded supporting as it asked, “So based on what you are saying we should let all the spaceships of the race rush over in advance?”

“That’s right!”

Xue Mofei bowed slightly, “Our Xue Family was forced to move out of the Cloud World seven thousand years ago, wandering in the outer region for thousands of years in search of a safe place. A few homes we found were dangerous and on the verge of collapse, with the risk of being wiped out at any moment. Be it the Xue Family or the branch races, we all need a stable place to live!”

That voice kept silent, like it was in deep thought.

“We need to be careful about this matter, let me think about it!”

Xue Mofei laughed, not bothering at all. Such a huge matter naturally needed to be considered several times.

“Your highness, please make an early decision! Everything is ready on this Gantian Mountain, only waiting for Zong Shou to return. On the contrary, there might be danger in the world river at any moment. Even if you can’t enter the Cloud World you should think of a way to enter a spiritual river branch stream…”

When he said that, Xue Mofei was really helpless. A spiritual river that could fit five spaceships was really not easy to find. Even if there was, it was under the control of the ten shrines and five Vast Habitats.

As for that world river, Xue Family floated amongst the worlds for ten thousand years so they obviously knew how dangerous it was.

Maybe every decade, up to a hundred years, it would be peaceful. However, there were chances they might meet God Realm or Celestial Realm god beasts that might wipe them all out.

This would be especially the case at this juncture, when the Cloud World spiritual wave was about to begin. It attracted numerous high-Grade beasts to gather. There were many outer region external races who were looking on.

Every day the Xue Family race members spent outside was a risk.

Thinking about it seriously for a moment, Xue Mofei said solemnly, “Moreover, to us we have no way out any more. If this doesn’t work we would suffer heavy losses. Other than that, why not go all out with our backs against the wall to win…”

The owner of the voice wasn’t as dark and sunken as before but was now crisp and loud, a voice that was able to reach and stir one’s soul. It caused his mind to suddenly awaken at that moment.

Soon after, a person walked out from the void, wearing white clothing, some simple dressing but so beautiful it made one hold their breath; snow-white skin, peach-like lips.

Those bright eyes were really deep like an abyss, filled with a charming color. When one took a look, one would unknowingly be attracted to it.

After Xue Mofei was slightly shocked, he lowered his head and was unwilling to look directly at her.

“More importantly, when I thought about it just now, I really couldn’t think of a way that our Xue Family had a chance to lose…”

Xue Mofei was slightly pumped up, like he was thinking about something and his face was filled with joy.

“Which means that Tailing Sect and Lingyun Sect have already agreed?”

“Nearly!”

The woman laughed, “That Lingyun Sect ancestor Wenxu, who knows what he was caring about? Even if I promised to split Donglin with Lingyun Sect he didn’t agree. As for the Tailing Sect, they were interested..”
