Divine Brilliance - Chapter 606
Chapter 606: Please Board The Carriage
“Zong Shou, are you crazy or are you really that stupid?”
Zhao Yanran was filled with disbelief at this moment. He knew that those Xue Family people were planning on attacking him, but he was actually so foolish to plan on jumping in.
It was nice to hear that it was for the millions of people in the city and people of his Zong Family.
However, was that fellow actually so noble?
At this moment, although the surroundings were covered in strong crossbows and arrows, there were also hundreds of thousands of Xue Family elites which gathered around the city’s spiritual formation.
However with the strength of the Blood Cloud Cavalry, even if Zong Yuan and Zong Shou faced the bloodline suppression, he could be easily protected and be allowed to retreat.
Although he would temporarily lose his legacy but with such an invincible cavalry there, along with millions of troops spread out around Donglin, he still had enough chances to turn the tables.
However, if he entered now then all of these chances would be totally lost.
Zong Shou broke out into laughter, waving his hand and shaking off Zhao Yanran’s arm.
He secretly used his eyes to signal his intentions towards Zong Yuan, Mingdou and Liehe. These people smiled they slightly nodded their heads.
He led his horse towards the city gate alone. The smile on Xue Mofei’s face got wider and wider, his eyes filled with energy.
That Zong Ling and Zong Han were stunned to the spot. This script was proceeding in a manner that they didn’t expect.
As long as Zong Shou returned, those Zong Family being controlled would explode out and create problems. The private armies in the city would also join in.
Zong Gang who was still trapped in the ancestral temple had already made plans to sacrifice himself.
However, what was the Ruler planning to do now?
Until Zong Shou slowly walked towards the front of them did Zong Ling and the others got shocked.
They only felt that their bloodline was trembling as if they had a feeling, an urge to bow towards Zong Shou and call him their Master.
It was like Zong Shou was supposed to be their ruler; to stand tall above.
This was Nine-Tails? Nine Tails Star Tattoo!
Within the fox race, it was the highest honor and also their strongest bloodline! The natural king of all fox race members!
The Zong Family’s bloodline increasing strength was actually due to Ruler?
Startled for a moment, their eyes were instantly filled with joy, pretty much unable to keep it to themselves.
They were also afraid that people around would notice, as they lowered their heads and retracted their gazes to try to keep the calm on their faces.
Only their bodies were trembling. However, in the eyes of the people around, they seemed like they were just feeling furious for Zong Shou.
Xue Mofei didn’t notice anything was off when Zong Shou got close, he smiled.
“Ruler, please board the carriage!”
His tone had much less worry and more of him ordering him, looking down in disdain.
The moment this Zong Shou was willing to separate with the Blood Cloud Cavalry, he had already totally fallen into their hands.
Even if he was a truly top sword talent, it wasn’t a problem and he wouldn’t be able to jump out at all.
Although this kid was a top talent, intelligent, and strategic but in the end, he still had to fall into his hands.
The race soldiers of the Xue Family all relaxed, moving towards the sides and
revealed the carriage that the Xue Family had prepared.
Naturally, it couldn’t be compared to the jade carriage that Zong Shou had used. It was a really simple and crude one dragged by a mule. On it was padded with some straw and the ones pulling it were four extremely weak mules.
To say that it was a Ruler’s carriage, it was more of a prisoner cart…
Was it to humiliate him? Were they prepared to use such a method to show to the people of Gantian Mountain?
Zong Shou’s eyes flashed a little and then he laughed out without much care. After getting off the horse, he boarded the mule carriage in a relaxed manner.
When Xue Mofei saw that, he laughed out loud, filled with ambition and also the joy of completing something huge.
Zong Ling, Zong Han and the others lowered their heads. However, when they looked at the Xue Family people occasionally, it was like they were looking at a dead man.
The current Zong Shou’s heart moved as he looked at the side.
It was an inn which took up a huge amount of space. As it was near the city gates, the dishes were also quite good which was why the business was really great.
However at this moment, it was really cold, the doors were shut.
But just now, Zong Shou could sense a really strong killing intent.
Yet it disappeared and then calmed down.
That person’s cultivation was not bad, to be able to make his heart feel a little wary.
His cultivation should be able to compare to Jueyu and Yuan Wushang.
However who was that person?
He had no mind to think about it carefully as the carriage had already slowly started to move, heading towards the greenstone path within the city.
Zong Shou squinted his eyes, only to see many people were being chased out by the Xue Family troops.
They all stood at both sides of the streets, their eyes slightly red as they looked towards him. Their expressions were filled with sadness and fury.
His heart tightened, and then his lips curled up as he smiled in joy.
It was his great fortune to be able to have such people.
Unless he really had no choice, he didn’t want them to be hurt in any way.
This was why he had to continue acting.
In a coup, only capturing the leaders first could he truly stop the war’s calamity.
What Zong Gang and the others were thinking was probably that even if Gantian Mountain was destroyed, they wanted to completely wipe out the Xue Family.
The idea was good but that was not what he wanted.
He also mocked himself, he always said that it was good to be vicious. However, before the decision was made, it was really tough to say what one would do.
Maybe this was the true him…
With such thought rising, Zong Shou felt an external strength spread out from the air.
It forcefully tried to restrict his soul and even blocked off his connection with the country power of Gantian Mountain.
He tried it a little and as expected, he was unable to use Intent to gather up the power of tens of millions of people of gantian.
Illusionary Heart Mirror?
As expected from something the fox race saw as a top treasure and handed down for ten thousand years!
With this item suppressing him, he could forget about using the strength of the country.
It seems like he had to use that thing this time.
Zong Shou shook his head slightly and then a drop of bloodshot into his Lingjie ring and into the Avici Throne.
When it obtained his blood, the golden throne instantly buzzed, ringing out crisply.
Like it was extremely excited, the nine Dragon carvings on it shone once more, extremely bright and majestic!

“This person has such sensitive spiritual senses!”
Pretty much at the same time, just as Zong Shou’s eyes swept past the inn, Yangming frowned slightly in surprise.
“Sigh, this Zong Shou really can’t be called a genius! What a disappointment…”
Within the huge inn, there were only two people. Apart from Yangming, the other person was Kongxu. When he heard those words, he nodded slightly.
“It is indeed a little surprising, this Zong Shou actually didn’t resist at all!”
As he said that, Kongxu gave out a comforting smile.
“With the Illusionary Heart Mirror suppressing him, Zong Shou’s cultivation would be greatly reduced. Although the Xue Family has many experts, most are at the Gantian Mountain peak. That person would definitely not disappoint the young master.”
…Since the outcome they imagined didn’t happen, then they could only use their other plan.
Yangming’s heart wasn’t here. He looked at the side of the streets at the pumped-up group, he sighed and sighed while his face filled with cold disdain.
“Who knew that this Zong Shou had such high sentiment from people. The Xue Family wanted to insult Zong Shou and cause his prestige to drop. They might have just smashed their own feet with a stone!”
When he heard that, Kongxu kept silent. He also didn’t expect the current situation.
Pretty much at the same time in the clouds, a leisure sigh rose.
“It seems like the Xue Family has still won! What a waste, a legacy destroyed in a day. Unifying Donglin but in just dozens of days, this Gantian Mountain was going to be wiped out.”
When he said that, the owner of the voice shook his head slightly, “Destiny is just like that! Although this Zong Shou is talented and had strong troops he was actually such an indecisive person. Actually, he just gave up this mountain. Even with Tailing Sect helping, he would have a thirty percent chance of winning. Who knows if it was for his new wife or the people of the city for him to make such a sacrifice to jump into the trap…”
“However now it is a tiger fighting on flat ground, a Dragon trapped on the sand, unable to return to the sky! This Donglin situation would change once more. What a pity, a top teen talent supposed to be unrivalled and rule the land but had actually fell so quickly.”
“How so? You and I saw his strength in the underground lake. Fighting one against six with all of them having Merging Spirit and Martial Arts, and he still didn’t lose. Although he can’t keep the country but he might be able to escape with his life!”
Another voice continued, asking curiously, “Senior Brother Wuji, you really want to save him? Tailing Sect is working with the Xue Family to plot against him and also before with his hatred towards Lingyun Sect. He would probably be filled with vengeance against our Taoists and he wouldn’t join us!”
Out of the few of them, the one at the head was Wuji. At this moment he frowned like he was in deep thought.
“I am still hesitating! However…”
As he said that, he looked towards the clouds in the distance, “Even if we don’t, those people there are going to!”
The few of them looked over and naturally, they couldn’t see anything. The clouds ahead were empty.
However, they could clearly feel a few threads of demonic energy surging over there.
Without needing to think, it had to be those from Sky Demon Vast Habitat.
If Zong Shou gave up on Gantian and joined the Demon Path.
The outcome was inconceivable…
At this moment Wuji’s eyes were ice-cold as he sighed leisurely.
“The chance is hard to come by. If we can persuade him to join, we have to give it a shot. If we can’t, then we will make other plans. We can’t let the kid be tempted by the demons and evil. Even if he dies, it is better than him falling into the Demon Path!”
At this moment everyone around was silent.
That was true, their Daoling Vast Habitat had the role of ensuring the safety of the world. They couldn’t sit on and watch Zong Shou walk into the Demon Path.
With his talents, he would definitely cause a calamity.
At that time, rather than allow him to live in this world, it was better if he had just died.
