The 2 of them were extremely quick, just one jump and they landed on the roof of the carriage, half-kneeling towards Zong Shou.
Zong Yuan silently knelt down whilst Zong Gang heavily nodded his head, “Black fox iron cavalry commander, Zong Gang, greets the prince!”
Then, he raised his head once more, his eyes focusing and looking closely at Zong Shou. A little mist appearing in his eyes, “Little Shou we hadn’t met in 3 years right? You are so tall now and look really like the prince. Don’t worry, with me here, no one will dare to touch a single hair of you! You don’t need to be scared and afraid anymore! You have been bullied badly these few days right? It is Uncle Gang’s fault, the ruler isn’t here and I was unable to take good care of you. If I knew that Lingyun Sect would be so untrustable, I shouldn’t have rushed to the oblivion cloud ocean to take a look…” As he said that he couldn’t help but slowly choke up, his hands pounding his chest, filled with regret.
When Li Luo heard that, he almost couldn’t take it. Thinking to himself that this courageous and bold person would be afraid? He was a beast in sheep’s clothing that was hiding. Only when one got close would one notice how terrifying he was.
However as the rumors had it, this black fox iron cavalry commander was an interesting person.
Zong Gang continued to talk on his own like he wanted to totally vent all the sadness in his heart to Zong Shou. Zong Shou was also helpless. He knew that this person was one of the most trusted people of Zong Weiran. Not only did he take charge of the black fox iron cavalry, but he was also the commander of Gantian Mountain’s 20 thousand personal troops. His identity was also his race uncle in the sky fox race.
He had long ago heard that although this person was really smart and really courageous on the battlefield. But, his personality was really intrinsic and weird.
He didn’t expect this person to be special to such an extent. He decided to open his eyes whilst his mind wandered off to comprehend the runes in his brain. Until 15 minutes later did Zong Gang’s voice slowly stop did he come back to his senses. His eyes similarly red and wet, emotionally saying, “Uncle Gang please rise! With you here, I can finally be at ease. When I return to take the throne I would rely on you, I only hope at that time you won’t blame me for being irritating…”
When they heard those words, the others didn’t think much. Chuxue, on the other hand, blinked her eyes in shock as she looked carefully at Zong Shou, thinking that the prince actually knew how to fake so well.
The other people especially Tan Tao who had rushed over also rolled their eyes.
Zong Gang didn’t notice a thing, keeping the tears in his eyes and standing up. His eyes were really sharp, “How would I? The ruler has treated me so well, using my entire life I am still unable to repay him! Whatever matters the prince has, just leave it to me. Your enemies are my enemies. Whoever dares to harm you, I will be the first to kill him!”
After he said those words, he swept the others with tiger eyes, sharp and solemn, causing the gazes of everyone to avoid him. Only when he looked at Li Luo and Shi Dan did he show some surprise. With the ability of these two people, why would they be protecting Zong Shou? After thinking about it he didn’t mind, scoffing slightly before tossing out 2 warning expressions. Following which he pressed on his knife and stood behind Zong Shou, signaling that he was going to be his personal guard.
Zong Shou’s lips couldn’t help but twitch. With such a fellow who was a Xuanwu ancestor of 8 meridians standing behind him, he only felt really uncomfortable.
He really was unwilling to let such a person who he didn’t totally trust to occupy such a position.
Although this Zong Gang was really loyal to his father, who knew if he was loyal to him.
However, it wasn’t a good time for him to reject it now. He could only slightly shake his head, forcing himself to bear with it and continue to look forwards at Zong Yuan who was still half-kneeling.
Looking at him fixedly for a short while, seeing that he didn’t have any impatience did he smile, “Well done! No, you have made me surprised. I really didn’t expect that you would have such a talent. Killing Mu Ling Mu Jiang, then killing Feng Yu and trampling over numerous formations, you purple lightning spear Zong Yuan can feel proud for yourself!”
Zong Yuan’s expression still didn’t change, expressionlessly shaking his head, “What did the battle today have to do with me? 3 thousand cavalry trampling over the enemy is all because of the prince! However, I thought about it, and the words you spoke before are all true. I won’t easily give up and waste my life. I have learned a lot from the battle before. Maybe today I still don’t have the ability to sweep the battlefield and challenge a thousand troops, but in the future, I would. I won’t disappoint you…”
Zong Gang was totally confused when he heard that, not knowing what the 2 of them were talking about. Only Chuxue and the others knew the insider news, smiling and not saying a word.
Zong Shou was also astonished. After a short while he understood, not knowing whether or not to laugh or cry, “So you thought that this entire battle was because of me? Do you know why I said that you killed Mu Ling and Mu Jiang and then Feng Yu but I didn’t mention Yang Xuan and Xie Nu?”
Zong Yuan was startled, thinking carefully about it, the prince’s tone was indeed a little weird. Just as he had no clue, he saw Zong Shou use his finger and pointed at the middle of his brows, “Look at that!”
Zong Yuan subconsciously touched the center of his brows, only to feel that it was really smooth with no weird shape at all. Instantly he remembered to use his senses to check it out, following which shock appeared in his eyes.
The ‘soul’ word mark between his brows had actually totally disappeared. And also those spiritual formations that Zong Shou drew on his body and on his armor were nowhere to be seen.
Does that mean that he was now actually free?
That’s right. The lightning attracted from the clouds. After that, he felt that his body was missing something. However, at that point, he was too focused and didn’t pay attention to it.

Which means that Mu Ling, Mu Jiang, and Feng Yu actually all died in his own hands? The 5th and 6th formations, as well as those maniac bear armored warriors, were broken through by troops that were led by him?
How was that possible? A few months ago he was still stuck at the peak of xiantian, unable to move. How did he do that? To use the body of a grade 4 martial ancestor to successively kill 2 Xuanwu ancestors, was he dreaming?
Not only him, even Tan Tao and Hu Zhongyuan were dumbfounded, looking at Zong Yuan in disbelief.
This meant that the latter half of the battle actually had nothing to do with Zong Shou and was all solely done by Zong Yuan?
He was unparalleled at breaking formations, displaying that maniac lightning spear sense. Even facing a strong opponent like the maniac bear armored warriors, he was able to easily trample over them. He was actually no weaker than when Zong Shou controlled him.
Which meant that the current Zong Yuan not only had the ability to challenge Xuanwu ancestors. On the battlefield, he could also cause everyone to fear him?
Tan Tao was the most experienced and was the first to come to his senses and calm down. He couldn’t help but take in a deep breath, “So you are an unparalleled general seed!” Thinking that no wonder the Gantian Mountain monster king treated Zong Yuan so well, the prince in front of him also treated him differently. Such a talented general. Zong Yuan had the ability to be deemed as a precious treasure!
Zong Yuan was still dumbfounded, and his expression alternated between red and white.
Zong Shou got a little impatient as he waited, directly saying, “The technique of the demon path is just a small and weak technique. This soul controlling technique is too. It can’t control people with a strong will. Even without that lightning, in just a few days, you would be able to break that seal…”
Seeing some anxiousness appear in Zong Yuan’s eyes. Zong Yuan paused, “The seal is now gone and I can’t control you anymore. So, what plans do you have? If you want to live, as long as you agree not to be my enemy on Gantian Mountain I can allow you to leave!”
When he said that, Zong Shou could only feel really intense energy rising up from behind him. He saw Zong Gang suddenly step forwards, whose eyes were filled with killing intent as he stared coldly at Zong Yuan.
It was like the moment he talked about leaving he would immediately act and cut his head off.
Zong Shou couldn’t help but be speechless. He had actually forgotten about him. Did he not know that Zong Shou was trying to take a soft approach now?
If it was just a normal cultivator it wouldn’t matter, but such a talent couldn’t be forced.
Forget it, one playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop, the effect might be better.
Zong Yuan was totally silent. After a short while, he bowed once more, his head hitting the ground, “The prince didn’t kill me, and is also half a teacher, giving me hope in my life. I still have some conscience. In this life, as long as I haven’t died, I would work for the prince. I only have one thing to ask for the prince. That Zong Hao and Zong Yang…”
He gritted his teeth but he couldn’t continue.
“You want to take their lives?”
Zong Shou was instantly delighted, even if this fellow didn’t mention about it, this time when he went back he wouldn’t give these few people a good time. If things went as expected, his return to Gantian Mountain would be one that was filled with bloodshed.
However, at this moment, he couldn’t agree so easily. Face palming, Zong Shou acted like he was having a tough time, “These 2 people, one is my race uncle and is an elder of the sky fox race. The other is my cousin, a rare talent, no matter how disrespectful they are towards me…”
Zong Yuan didn’t say another word, just silently kowtowing his head with determination. He went all out, loud smashing sound as he broke a deep hole in the roof of the carriage, his face was covered in blood.
At that moment, nearby all the Xuan mountain city cavalry all looked over furiously at Zong Shou.
Power was the easiest way to convince the heart. Especially those who were led by Zong Yuan and created the miracle of crushing 400 thousand enemies. These Xuan Mountain City cavalry were filled with respect towards this purple lightning spear.
Now, although they couldn’t hear what they were talking about, when they saw Zong Yuan kowtowing in front of Zong Shou for so long till his head bled, they couldn’t help but feel that the prince was being unfair. They thought that Zong Shou was an incapable ruler and was preposterous when he did things.
To actually not praise such an expert like Zong Yuan after such a victory but instead humiliate him in such a manner!
