Chapter 607: Will Of Heaven

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Just as the people above were discussing Zong Shou.

Within Gantian Mountain peak, at Hanyan Palace, Xuanyuan Yiren was looking down from the fences. Looking down the mountain, her eyes were filled with worry.

Xuanyuan Tong’s body trembled, unable to even speak. He only felt that the scenes of Zong Shou sitting on the straw mule chariot and travelling on the stone streets were so eye piercing and shocking.

“...He was humiliated like that! This Xue Family is really despicable! I am incapable to be unable to destroy this race!”

He was filled with rage but also filled with regret.

“I only regret that I didn’t kill myself! Without you and I, why would that kid bother to do this?”

Li Sina’s face was ashen white and she didn’t speak. However, in her heart, she felt really complicated.

On the other side, Qiuwei was still really calm like nothing was going on.

“City Lord don’t worry! Ruler naturally has his reasons for doing this! After the ex-Ruler did this, Ruler had survived all kinds of large waves and storms, there is no reason that he would die under the hands of these Xue Family people. I confess to City Lord that I don’t understand. We had the high chance of winning; for Ruler to wipe out all these Xue Family people! I didn’t expect that Ruler would do this...”

Xuanyuan Yiren was startled, looking over in shock.

High chance of winning? What chance did they have at this moment?

However, Qiuwei frowned and explained, “Based on what I knew, the Zong Family bloodline had risen to Eight-Tails not long ago and was already the king race of the fox race. Even if the Xue Family had the Illusionary Heart Mirror, they wouldn’t be able to control them fully!”

When he heard that, Xuanyuan Tong was stunned, then he scolded out, “Then what is that fellow doing?”

Xuanyuan Yiren listened on from the side, the worry in her heart reducing. At this moment, she suddenly turned her head at Kong Yao who was standing beside them like an invisible person.

“Sister Kong, what do you think?”

When Kong Yao heard that she was shocked. Renbo and Qiuwei, and the other old officials of Gantian Mountain were here, they all had their own views.

Why didn’t Xuanyuan Yiren ask them but instead asked her?

Xuanyuan Yiren said sincerely, “My Husband told me that Sister Kong’s soldier leading ability might not be as good as Zong Yuan and Left Pillar Qiu but you are a talented commander, able to take charge of an army. Zong Yuan could lead troops whilst you can lead generals. Your talent can only be shown by leading a huge army. This was why I thought that Sister Kong definitely had things to say that could enlighten me!”

At this moment not only was Kong Yao startled, but even Qiuwei and Renbo beside were also surprised.

Zong Shou actually had such a high evaluation of this person? Actually higher than that of Zong Yuan and Qiuwei?

They didn’t believe it but thinking back to those around him, they kept silent.

A few years ago, who knew that Zong Yuan would be an unparalleled general? Who knew that that brat,

They thought that their Ruler was not a normal lustful person and even targetted a title governor commander from Great Shang.

Now thinking about it, he did have his reasons.

Kong Yao was also stunned, Zong Shou actually said that about her?

She didn’t expect to be a talent at leading generals? Why didn’t she know about her ability to be a commander?

She was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses. She took in a deep breath, her face was expressionless.

“Ruler is going to win so why worry? We just need to wait for changes to occur..”

The people around, their brows all rose. Who knows whether Kong Yao was just going with the flow or if she really meant it.

However, at this moment, that was the only thing that they could do.

When they all shifted their eyes away, Kong Yao sighed, her face filled with a bitter smile.

How could he not win? Even if she didn’t use her spiritual eye to look, she could feel that raging King Energy...

How strong!

The Xue Family people were really asking to die.

However, Zong Shou was willing to take a risk for the lives of everyone in the city, as expected from the energy of him being Saint King!

Maybe she really misjudged him...

No, no. The reason why that fellow did what he had to do was to ensure his victory

How could it really be possible because of the commoners under his rule?

The moment the thought rose, a crisp roar sounded out in the sky.

Phoenix roar? How was that possible?

Kong Yao thought that it was an illusion. Just as she shook her head, she heard those roars spread out successively.

Her expression changed slightly, following which a red line opened up at the center of her brows.

Only to see that beneath the mountain, on the straw carriage hundred thousand feet out, vast and pure energy charged into the clouds.

Apart from a giant Dragon coiling, a seven colored Phoenix was flying above.

Kong Yao felt pain as she was pierced by the light and retracted her ability. Only her heart was startled; unable to calm herself.

In the Divination Books of the World, Dragon represented Emperor Power, the Phoenix not only represented that, but it also had the meaning of purity and the same level of auspicious as the Qilin.

In Confucian classics, there was the saying of the Pheonix, a spiritual bird representing kindness and auspiciousness.

However, more often than not, people of the world only connected the Dragon to the emperor.

That was because during the cloud desolate era, when divination experts viewed the Dragon Energy, there was no Phoenix that appeared.

Zong Shou today, was he connected to the heavens, inheriting the will of the heavens?

????

The straw mule carriage moved forward slowly. Maybe due to the people at the sides being furious and were at the verge of exploding, the Xue Family also knew that their actions were resulting in an opposite effect. Which was why after the carriage entered the city and passed two streets, Xue Mofei decisively gave up on touring the city. His expression was a little ugly as he instructed the carriage to directly head for the ancestral temple.

Zong Shou sat on the straw, expressionless. He was feeling really impatient as he waited and thus decided to close his eyes to rest.

However, just at this moment, Xiaori suddenly ran out from his sleeves and then excitedly rubbed against him, smelling him continuously.

Like it was really satisfied, closing its eyes in enjoyment.

“What is happening with you, little fellow?”

Zong Shou didn’t know whether or not to laugh or to cry, he wasn’t a woman and his body didn’t have any fragrance or anything.

A cultivators’ body was really pure and clean, the fragrance was born naturally but it wasn’t to a level where it would make one drunk from it.

Was it worthy of Xiaori to be so excited?

Too lazy to bother about it, he allowed the little fellow to smell all it wanted. Zong Shou still sat quietly, closing his eyes and resting up.

Although there were millions of eyes looking over, he acted like he didn’t see a single one of them.

There were no more normal commoners here. Apart from Xue Family race soldiers at the front, they were people from the Zong Family as well as from the other fox races.

They all looked on coldly with weird expressions on the two sides of the streets. Most of them were dispirited, nearly unable to suppress the despair that they were feeling.

However, the moment Zong Shou’s carriage passed, their bodies all trembled, their eyes filled with a confused expression.

Everyone’s eyes were gathered on Zong Shou. Their faces filled with passion, their eyes filled with irrepressible worship and surprise.

Without an exception, they became quieter. Only at this moment, there wasn’t any listlessness and despair from before.

In the direction of the ancestral hall, there were a group of people who walked over. The person in front was a few years older than Zong Shou, his looks also seemed a little familiar.

Zong Shou took a look at him and was slightly shocked.

“Zong Yang?”

He remembered a few years ago during the coup on the Gantian Mountain. His father had died in his hands, only Zong Yang escaped. However that day on Dragon Gathering Mountain, he personally smashed his skull. How did he revive from the dead? Was it the Xue Family?

“So Cousin actually still remembers me! A few years ago when you killed me, you wouldn’t expect that such a day would happen to you too.”

Zong Yang rode his horse beside the carriage and looked deeply at Zong Shou, his gaze was vicious. Then he laughed, “From today on I am not surnamed Zong. You should call me Xueyang. The good grace of Highness Meng allowed the few of us to become branch bloodlines of the Xue Family!”

Behind Zong Yang stood a few people, their expressions either cold or mocking.

Zong Shou recognised them, without an exception they were all direct bloodline members of the Zong Family.

“Xue Family? Xueyang, what a nice name. So you all have changed to the Xue Family bloodline?”

Seeing that Zong Yang still laugh, his expression still showing delight and glee, Zong Shou instantly understood. He knew that his Gantian Mountain shouldn’t be so easily taken advantage of by the Xue Family.

As expected, weaknesses appeared within his own family.

However, the reason was why these few people didn’t have an improvement in their bloodline was because of him.

Who knows if it was a blessing or a curse for the Xue Family...

Xueyang wanted to mock a few more sentences but Xue Mofei had looked over with a dark and cold gaze.

Only then did he remember that the Xue Family wanted to first try to persuade him to surrender.

He smiled and retracted his hatred, “Actually Cousin doesn’t need to worry. His Highness is magnanimous and can accept anyone. As long as you are willing to bow your head and surrender, you can keep your life when you become a slave. Queen Xuanyuan will be fine too...”

Zong Shou broke out into laughter and was too lazy to reply.

Xueyang didn’t say anymore, stating a series of rites along with the people behind him.

It was the rite to welcome a ruler to worship ancestors, it was the proper procedure.

The carriage continued forward and in just a moment, it was right in front of the temple.

The doors were already opened, one could look within

Zong Shou sat on the carriage and looked into the hall.

He saw a devilish girl calmly sitting at the center main position.

Beside her, there was someone who was chained up-it was Zong Gang. After seeing Zong Shou he was startled, then felt anxiousness. After which he laughed out loud.

Zong Shou smiled and looked carefully at the woman in the hall.

...as expected form the Eight-Tail Xue Family, her looks and demeanour were much stronger than Zhao Yanran.

In this world, this was the first time he saw someone who could beat that crazy woman in looks.

He finally met the head of the Xue Family. So this chaotic showtime was to be placed to an end.

The moment such a thought rose, Xue Mofei said without any emotion, “Ruler, please get off the carriage and greet her Highness!”

The moment those words were said, Zong Shou smiled widely.
