Chapter 526: Unexpected

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Fifty days later, in the void fissure, a stable world river.

Long Ruo’s eyes were half closed. He seemed like he was distracted whilst thinking about something, solemn and serious.

Ling Weizi sat by his side with a similar expression, as though they were waiting for something.

At the right of the two of them there was another person. He was forty years old, and his name was Gengwei. Long Ruo needed to call him senior master. At this moment he was sitting cross-legged and cultivating his internal energy.

The three of them had waited here for twelve hours but they didn’t show any impatience at all.

As time went on, who knew how long they would have to wait. Ling Weizi exclaimed before he opened his eyes, only to see a message talisman appear in front of him.

He didn’t use his hands to touch, and only sent his spiritual sense over. A smile appeared on his face.

“It is from the sect leader! Daoming Sect has already agreed. This time they will send 200 Daoling wind warriors to help the Thousand City Alliance!”

Ling Weizi’s eyes lit up and he broke out into a laugh. “We are really going all out. I really don’t know if Zong Shou is crazy, offending Daoming Sect at such a time...”

Those Daoling wind warriors were grade 6 dao soldiers. Daoming Sect occupied the second spiritual house, their strength was only slighter than the Seven Spirit Sect, and they only had 300 people.

To deploy 70% of them at one time, they were really going all out, filled with hatred towards Zong Shou.

Ling Weizi shook his head. “With the matter of Zong Weiran being forced into the Oblivion Cloud Ocean, there is no chance of peace between Daoming Sect and Zong Shou. Even without the grievances from the third dragon hall, they couldn’t allow that Monster King to survive. The death of Cangming only helped push the matter forwards...”

He smiled as he spoke. “Along with 400 cloud dragon iron swordsman from our Lingyun Sect and 200 upper cloud lightning warriors from the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect, there are 1200 grade 6 dao soldiers from Pill Fountain, Xuansu, and other sects. Even without the Thousand City Alliance, it is enough to crush Gantian Mountain.”

“We are using a butcher knife to kill a chicken!”

Gengwei nodded slighting, eyes filled with mocking intent. “To think that Zong Shou bought loads of weapons from the central continent, and now he thinks he can challenge Lingyun Sect by hiding everything and trying to catch us by surprise. He doesn’t know that all the trade in the central continent is in the hands of the ten shrines. Just by checking, one would be able to uncover his plan. If it wasn’t for the sect leader’s worry about those other juniors with nefarious intentions, we would only need 30% of our strength to crush Gantian Mountain.”

The two of them spoke whilst Long Ruo sat expressionless at the side, not saying a word. Only his face had a worried expression on it.

Ling Weizi saw that and turned around, smiling. “You still feel uneasy? You feel that it isn’t worth it for the sect to make such a huge move just to take revenge for your physical body being destroyed?”

Long Ruo shuddered. What Ling Weizi said was totally off the mark from what he was thinking, however it indeed occupied a portion of his thoughts. He had a solemn expression as he nodded slightly.

“This disciple is indeed terrified! For my own grievances to activate the entire sect!”

Ling Weizi laughed out loud. “Long Ruo Long Ruo! It seems like your loss to him might not have been a bad thing. You have become more cautious. Unlike before, when you looked careful but were arrogant. However, this time you don’t have to worry! You know the personality of your master, he won’t hesitate if there are benefits. Which sect in the cloud world would go to war for small grievances? It is all because of additional interests. So don’t think too highly of yourself. Do you know that there are two huang-grade large-sized mind stone veins which are forming?”

Long Ruo listened on quietly, and when he heard those words, his body shook.

Two large sized mind stone veins? He had not heard this news. Who knew if it was real or fake? Once it spread, it would be total chaos. This news was liable to make the many cloud world sects crazy.

One must know that a medium-sized mind stone vein could raise 100 grade 6 dao soldiers. If it produced grade 7 and above mind stones, it could support the daily use of two grade 9 cultivators.

A large mind stone vein would raise more than 1000 soldiers! There would be also ten times more huang grade and above mind stones.

... Even the Common People Path, which had three sects and six schools, only had 7000 grade 6 dao soldiers.

Just two mine veins were enough to form the foundations of a huge sect!

In the entire cloud world, there are only four of such veins.

He instantly understood that his master was not planning to take revenge for him, but instead to obtain these two large veins.

“Our Lingyun Sect naturally can’t swallow these veins up alone, we would have to divide some with other sects. However, if they remain under Gantian Mountain, we won’t even have the right to talk about them.”

“It is exactly as you said!”

Ling Weizi stopped looking at Zong Yuan, sighing, “If our sect hadn’t become enemies with the father and son, we might be able to discuss this matter. There might have been a chance. Now, since we are enemies of one another, we have to be more vicious so that Zong Shou won’t be able to make a comeback!”

“What senior master says makes sense! Speaking of which, it is still me who dragged down the sect.” Long Ruo smiled bitterly, his heart even more uneasy. Just as he was about to speak, Kengwei suddenly stood up.

“They have finally arrived!”

Long Ruo stopped his words. Ling Weizi also looked out in the direction Kengwei moved, only to see that there was a person quickly travelling upstream the river.

He seemed to have noticed the three of them. When he was roughly a thousand feet away, he suddenly stopped. He gazed at them before laughing coldly.

“I was thinking who it was that knew the secret place to enter and exit the Cloud World. So it is you people from Lingyun Sect...”

Ling Weizi smiled, but when he saw the man’s state, he was shocked.

This person couldn’t be considered handsome, one could even say he was ugly, but he had a special aura. It caused others around him to appear like sand around a bright pearl.

As usual, he gave off a maniacal aura. However, at this moment, his aura was really dark and impure. His left arm and shoulder were totally gone. Even Ling Weizi could sense the thick energy veins within.

Ling Weizi’s first thoughts were, how could this Yuan Wushang get injured? And so heavily? Such a state was not far from death. The second thought: who could injure the head of the Six Pinnacle Swords of the Cloud World so badly?

That Yuan Wushang laughed coldly. “Do you think I’m in a bad state? Who knew Manic Sword Yuan Wushang could be in such a tragic state?”

Ling Weizi was jolted back to his senses. Although that was what he was thinking in his heart, he couldn’t say it out loud. He smiled, “How is that possible? How can martial cultivators not have any accidents? I heard that outside of the Cloud World, although their spells and martial paths aren’t as skilled as our Cloud World, there are some cultivators that are extremely dangerous. Young Master Yuan, you must be careful!”

Yuan Wushang burst out into a laugh, filled with mocking intent. “Cut the crap, who are you trying to act so fake to? Who are you trying to trick? You can say it—why are you trying to keep me here?”

Ling Weizi felt slightly awkward, however he had thick skin like city walls, and he smiled without showing any sign of that. “Actually the Young Master knows. Naturally, we came for that Gantian Mountain Zong Shou. Young Master, please challenge this kid on behalf of the Lingyun Sect leader for his help to you in the past. You can choose the date as long as it is within this month! This kid’s reputation has risen, and within the Dragon Hall he killed a grade 9 cultivator. I think Young Master will be interested. Our Lingyun Sect naturally has methods to cause that kid to be unable to fight...”

He thought that hearing those words, given Yuan Wushang’s personality, he would definitely agree.

But after he spoke, Ling Weizi saw that Yuan Wushang’s expression had become very strange.

“Zong Shou? Do you mean Gantian Monster King Zong Shou?” He laughed out loud.

Although his heavy injuries hadn’t healed, he was still majestic and filled with an enormous amount of energy. His laughter didn’t cease, and became more and more crazy.

Ling Weizi’s face was finally filled with defeat. Even Long Ruo and Gengwei exchanged glances with one another, their expressions showing wariness and alertness.

That was because the laugh was filled with killing intent. Yuan Wushang’s aura was growing stronger and stronger.

“Your sect leader’s favour I returned long ago. I can’t deal with that person, so I can only vent my hatred on you three!”

When he said those words, the three of them became terrified, and subconsciously wanted to draw their swords. Yuan Wushang’s body flashed until he was not far from where they stood. A strong soul suppression pressed down heavily.

It caused Gengwei and Long Ruo to become rooted to the spot, unable to move at all.

“Sword Soul Realm!” Ling Weizi exclaimed, instinctively throwing out his few magical grade talismans towards the man.

Yuan Wushang laughed out loud. He sped through the wind and flames, and in an instant he was above the three of them.

With one movement, he sliced off Gengwei’s head. Following which vanished and reappeared and entangled in a duel with Ling Weizi. His body flashed and he was 10,000 feet out.

He burst out into another cold laugh. “My grievances with your Lingyun Sect end now! On account of last year, I have one more thing to tell you people. I think you shouldn’t offend that Zong Shou. That unlimited light, endless darkness...”

When the voice disappeared, Yuan Wushang was nowhere to be seen, and the sword suppression had disappeared as well.

Ling Weizi and Long Ruo exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock and loss.
