Chapter 713: Heaven Shifting Earth Moving

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The people within the room were all quiet as they all looked toward Wujue with weird expressions on their faces. They were either gloating or feeling pitiful.

The two soul lamps that were extinguished were of Spirit Realm Experts.

Those two people were the pillars of Pushan Temple. Now that they were dead, it probably meant bad news for Pushan Temple.

In the next moment, they all turned their eyes away. Losing the support of the sect, Wujue’s status in the Vast Habitat had totally fallen.

Apart from his own cultivation which was not bad, there wasn’t anything else that was amazing about him!

Wujue panted like a wild beast and his eyes turned red. In the next moment, he stared fiercely at Wu Xu.

“It is all your fault for the death of Pushan Temple! You knew that Zong Shou was invincible in the Sword Path, that no one in the Taoist Faction could resist him, but you didn’t defend against him. 16 hours and 24 sects have been wiped out. However, the dozens of Spirit Realm Experts here haven’t done anything. You still have the face to be the Palace Head?”

Everyone in the room was startled, looking over in shock.

In their memory, this person shouldn’t have such a personality...

Wu Xu frowned, still sitting above.

“I said that after this battle I will seek punishment from the elders.”

“Forget about seeking punishment!”

After saying this, his body also suddenly rose up.

“Those punishments won’t even hurt you, how can it compensate for the deaths of those 60,000 disciples? Can it rebuild those 24 sects? I will seek an answer from the sects that were wiped out today!”

A beige talisman glow shone around him and a giant seal appeared in his hand.

One palm, it was like a giant mountain descending!

Wu Xu didn’t even blink, casually flicking out with a finger.

The space between the two swelled and then swiftly condensed.

It then exploded out as Wujue’s body flew hundreds of feet away.

Beside him also sat an old Taoist. His eyes were also opened wide, but he looked helpless. Reaching out to grab, a giant palm clenched Wujue, causing him to be unable to move.

Wu Xu wasn’t worried as he just waved his sleeves. The wind and energy around was suppressed. He then looked impassively at the person who was powerless on the ground.

“Drag him down!”

Instantly, a few on-duty disciples walked in and carried Wujue away. However, Wujue still continued to scold.

“Wu Xu, you are an animal, you aren’t fit to be the Head of our Vast Habitat! Why don’t you go and die? Your Master was wrong about you...”

At this moment, everyone looked at Wujue with respect.

This assassination might have seemed rash, but it could be seen as being overwhelmed by rage.

Since his entire sect was wiped out, if the Vast Habitat didn’t punish Wu Xu heavily, then he could only be let go.

Although those 24 sects were wiped out, there were still many disciples remaining. There were also many Spirit Realm and Celestial Realm Seniors.

Wu Xu’s palm was what everyone wanted to see. He could still have a position within Daoling Vast Habitat.

Wujue’s hollering faded as he was dragged away. The room became silent once again. After a long while, a voice rang out once more.

“We can only invite the Shrines and Spiritual House Sects to help out...”

After saying this, the Taoist felt many knife-like gazes stare over.

“No! Our Vast Habitat is ten times stronger than Gantian Mountain. If we ask for help from them won’t we be a laughing stock?”

“Tailing Sect and Daoling Sect are separated from us. If they try to use this chance to infect the Vast Habitat, then what should we do?”

“Why don’t we ask for peace with the Gantian Monster King?”

“If we ask for peace now, we would lose face. How will we be able to command the Taoist Faction in the future? We will become the sinners of the sect!”

“Then how can we defend against him?”

Everyone was deep in thought as they discussed their options, especially those few people whose situation was similar to Wujue, whose sects were in the east of the Central Continent.

“The only way is to follow what the Palace Head mentioned; to combine the strengths and defend at one spot...”

“Although the post-battle matters will be problematic, it is better than the sect getting wiped out.”

Their eyes crossed. Although they didn’t reply, they didn’t oppose it either.

With the plan set, then the next thing was to distribute.

The green-robed Taoist at the door suddenly opened his mouth, “However, this plan is still not perfect. Does Palace Head have a way to kill him?”

Wu Xu’s brow rose up and then he shook his head calmly.

“Three months later we will see. To have a perfect plan and kill him, the only way is if we have the Heaven Shifting Earth Moving Formation...”

The people within the hall were shocked once more.

No matter what kind of teleportation spells or treasures, they would all take too long. It was also tough to lock down on a specific spot.

But, this formation was a little different. As long as one had enough Mind Stones, one could teleport 10 people at once.

This Heaven Shifting Earth Moving Formation was one of the smallest scale teleportation formations. It only needed a Grade-7 Spirit Master to cast and it wouldn’t consume too many Mind Stones either.

However, what placed them on a spot wasn’t all this...

????

Pretty much at the same time, at the Imperial Capital, Fenghua Hall.

Yinyu had a weird expression on his face as he looked at the document in his hand.

At noon, traveling 2,200 miles, wiping out Fashan Sect. None of the 3,000 disciples survived. 2 Spirit Realm experts fell...

At 1pm he arrived at Xiuling Mountain and wiped out Shuiming Sect. He broke this mountain with his sword and within 10 minutes, the Ten Thousand Water Kuiyuan Formation was forcefully broken open...

At 5:30 he wiped out Taoshan Temple. At 7 pm he travelled 3,000 miles to the east and wiped out Huiyun Sect...

He had read a lot of the news throughout the day, but it wasn’t as detailed.

Each one recorded the number of deaths, approximate time and for some, one could even deduce the rough process of each battle.

The more he read, the more shocked he became.

“This kid actually had such ability? The ancient overlords were just like that...”

Tossing the documents, his eyes were filled with an indiscernible intent...

Although one could only imagine, one could still roughly guess how strong Zong Shou’s Sword Path was...

“Speaking of which, there have been 23 sects?”

“24! A few minutes ago Pushan Temple was wiped out!”

Gaoruo bowed, saying calmly, “This is a calamity for the Taoist Sect.”

“Calamity for the Taoist Sect? Just 60,000 disciples died, how could it be considered a calamity?”

Yinyu laughed, his tone was cold and then he asked curiously, “Forget about those other sects. Xiuyun Sect has Celestial Realm Experts in the outer region. Daoling Vast Habitat also has many Celestial and God Realm Experts so why didn’t they interfere? They have 10 Saint Realm Experts, how can Aokun restrict them all? Why does Zong Shou not fear anything at all?”

Gaoruo smiled awkwardly, unsure of how to reply.

Luckily Yinyu thought about the reason.

“That’s right! Since he dares to be so bold, then he might have a precautionary measure! Even if he didn’t, then Common People’s Path and Sky Demon Vast Habitat would help him...”

Not thinking about the matter anymore, Yinyu asked, “I don’t think that Wu Xu can continue on as the Palace Head. Did he ask for help from Tailing and the other sects?”

“No!”

Gaoruo shook his head, “However, Daoling Vast Habitat already has a plan. They want to gather many sects together to defend. Dozens of sects in the east have also started to set up the Heaven Shifting Earth Moving Formation.”

Yinyu laughed, he also knew that Daoling Vast Habitat wouldn’t ask for help from Tailing Sect.

Those Taoist Factions feared them.

“It is in our own hands to not be defeated, but it is in the enemy’s to give us a chance to beat him? Wu Xu really knows the Art of War!”

Gaoruo spoke with disdain, “If he knew, he should have done this long ago!”

“This isn’t his fault. If he wasn’t forced into such a situation, would those other sects agree?”

Yinyu said as his lips curled, “Moreover, once the formation is set up, it would be tough to remove in the future. These eastern sects would fall under Daoling Vast Habitat’s control sooner or later. That is something those past Palace Heads couldn’t imagine. Not only did those sects deflect, Tailing and Daoling both objected, each time successfully stopping it. If this matter could succeed in his hands, his position would be as stable as a mountain!”

Gaoruo was startled. That was really the case when he thought about it like that. He couldn’t help but take in a deep cold breath.

“Which means that Wu Xu wants all this to happen...”

If he really did this on purpose, it meant that his intellect was really terrifying...

“That might not be the case! Who knew that Zong Shou would be so strong? To choose such a method? Turning the detrimental situation into an advantage, he could be considered very intelligent.”

Yinyu didn’t care anymore and laughed, “Anyways Zong Shou most probably lost this battle! If he retreats, it is still okay and if not, then he would most probably die! Our Great Shang doesn’t need to interfere, just send someone to take a look...”

Hesitating slight, he said seriously, “Try to let that scoundrel return to Gantian alive.”

When he said the word ‘scoundrel’, it was filled with hate.

Gaoruo understood and bowed once more.

Be it Taoist Faction or Gantian, they were both enemies of Great Shang.

It wasn’t a good thing for the Taoist Faction.

The best case was if both sides could suffer heavy losses.

????

Zong Shou stood quietly in mid-air.

The Sword Energy formed beneath him, drawing a several foot deep sword mark.

From above, there were 2 rows of words.

“25th... 56,422 people...”

He didn’t ensure the carvings were nice, but it was still like a drawing. Each stroke, each word was like a sword with indescribable sharpness. It was also filled with endless violent killing intent!

Looking around, everywhere was covered in blood. The ground was dyed red, corpses all over. If one looked carefully, one could see that everyone here was killed in one strike and there was no more energy in their bodies.

At this moment, Zong Shou quietly looked at the sword in his hand as threads of blood-red vital energy circled around his body.
