Divine Brilliance

The moment he said those words, the middle-aged man was totally startled. Even the old priest, Zong Ling, behind him opened his mouth in shock.

…today I am inheriting the position of Gantian Mountain monster king so what does it have to do with the Zong Family race leader? I really don’t understand… you all want me to be that stupid sky fox race leader?

Hearing the meaning of his words, one felt a chill. Since the beginning, everyone linked the Gantian Mountain city lord position with the sky fox Zong family race leader. The 2 were the same thing.

But listening to what Zong Shou meant, he seemed to want to separate the 2 things.

Thinking about it closely, it did make sense.

Zong Weiran started it all from scratch, the people he trusted and the people he was close to actually didn’t have much connection with the sky fox Zong family.

The Zong family race leader position was forcefully snatched by Zong Weiran a few years after he built Gantian Mountian.

Now that he died, his son inherited the city lord position. If he didn’t want to be the race leader, what right did your Zong family direct bloodline have to shove it at him? Why did he have to want it?

Then, they comprehended another deep layer. Zong Shou’s actions were simply too vicious. In name, he totally split up the connection between the 2.

In the future, only Zong Weiran and Zong Shou’s bloodline could inherit the city lord position. And those who could be the sky fox race leader might not become the Gantian Mountain Monster king.

Moreover, since the entire city and the country army was in his hands, within the Zong family, who could be stable as the race leader? Who had the rights to fight with Zong Shou? This had totally nothing to do with the so-called direct bloodline disciples of the Zong family.

Not only did he viciously retort his words, he even settled all future problems in one shot.

Zong Gang on the other side blinked and his mouth was agape. The more he thought about the prince’s words, the more he was reminiscing the past. He acted like he didn’t understand,”That’s right, our prince is inheriting the city lord position. Who cares about what sky fox face leader? Uncle Zong, what gives you the right?”

Hu Qianqiu, Qiu Wei and the others all smiled, they seemed totally relaxed. Chai Yuan’s gaze was even filled with respect.

In just a few short moves, he settled his identity. The prince’s way of dealing things were truly surprising and unexpected.

The white shirt middle-aged man seemed to have comprehended the profound meaning behind it, his body shaking, his face turning green and dark. A moment later he smiled instead of raging, “Good! Good! Good! What a good son Zong Weiran gave us. Since the prince doesn’t place the 800 thousand people of my sky fox race in your eyes, in the future if the prince has concerns, don’t blame us for not helping. As long as I, Zong Zhen, am still here, you can forget about inheriting this race leader position! Your bloodline is a disgrace to my Zong family. Coming from a branch bloodline and allowing you to be the race leader, you should be thankful. Actually acting so arrogant…”

Zong Shou was originally planning to breeze last this matter and not quarrel with these people. As long as they yielded, he would say a few good words to give them some face. He had already taken advantage so why not be a little more magnanimous.

Now when he heard that, he suddenly felt furious. A viciousness and violence rose up and charged into his heart. Rage accumulated, pretty much wanting to tear his mind into shreds.

He couldn’t help but grit his teeth and break out into a smile. Since entering Gantian Mountain City he had never felt so annoyed before.

Even just now on the altar when he was heavily surrounded he could be calm and composed. Confident that everything was under his control.

However, only this so-called Uncle Zong had really totally ignited his fury!

“Branch bloodline? Disgrace? You old man really don’t know when to stop. Sky fox Zong family 800 thousand people, haha…”

As he scolded out “old man”, it caused Zong Zhen’s face to turn ugly. Zong Shou burst out into a laugh, the nine qilin sword slashing out once more, once again slashing apart the wound at his wrist that had already healed, saying expressionlessly, “Today I Zong Shou swear! With the heavens as a witness, from today on, I will break away from the sky fox Zong family, building my own race, using Gantian as the name, called the Gantian Zong Family! In my race, there is no direct and branch. We will only care about talent. Our bloodline has no superior and inferior births, and only skill is important. For all people in my race, the old will have people to support them, the young will be raised, given food and homes, not needing to worry about anything. If I go against this, may the heavens punish me…”

When Zong Shou said about building his own race, everyone beneath the altar’s expression changed.

When he talked about how Gantian Zong family had no differentiation between the branch and direct and only focused on talent and skill, Zong Zhen suddenly thought about something. His handsome face suddenly twitched violently.

All of a sudden, the entire place was silent. Everyone held their breaths, their hearts rolling as they digested what Zong Shou meant.

Zong Yuan didn’t speak, directly turning around to face Zong Shou, half kneeling, “Zong Yuan is willing to join the ruler’s race!”

Zong Gang was also awakened by Zong Yuan’s actions, following which he burst out in a laugh, “The ruler is really going all in! Building another race, I like it! Anyways staying in this sky fox Zong family isn’t fun. What right do they have to suppress our branch family? Gantian Zong family, what a good name! Count me in! As for the black fox iron cavalry, the prince doesn’t have to worry.”

Zong Ling’s eyes flashed as he looked into the sky, following which he was filled with emotion, “I remember tens of years ago I always get annoyed by those direct bloodline people. What if they had better births so they would suppress us and act arrogantly? For what reason our branch disciples couldn’t cultivate in the martial techniques left by ancestors? Even today, when my anger is appeased, I still feel annoyed. Since the prince has the ambition to make your own race, I Zong Ling have to help!”

Similarly, he waved his sleeves and half kneeled on the ground, “Under me, my family of 46 is willing to join Gantian Zong family!”

After the 3 of them, beneath that altar, bowed down. It was like dominos were pushed down. All the Zong family branch bloodlines all yielded. The voices one after another like in waves.

As high as commander level generals and even major and lieutenant level generals. Close to a thousand people, all without exception were filled with excitement.

Not only branch disciples, but even some of the true direct bloodline people also calmed themselves down and bowed.

Hu Qianqiu was stunned as he looked at these scenes. He took a look at that Zong Zhen’s face which was totally twisted, he couldn’t help but burst out laughing. He decided to strike when he was down, pouring salt on his wound and to stab his heart once more! His voice weird and dark as he praised, “Not even one wants to stay. The prince’s methods are so brilliant! Old Chai how many of the 800 thousand sky fox Zong family will remain?”

Chai Yuan couldn’t help but turn around and stare at him, knowing that this Hu Qianqiu was a person didn’t let people off.

However, he didn’t care much about that Zong Zhen. Zong Shou’s actions were truly removing the firewood away from the furnace. Without people, Uncle Zong and the others who lost their wings. Even with their cultivation, they were still like tigers without their teeth and eagles without their fur.

He smiled and replied, “Who knows? There are just 30 thousand direct disciples. However, in the end, he might be the only one left. How sad, such a big race, the king race of the sky fox tribe, withering just like that…”

Hu Qianqiu laughed out loud, heavily smacking Chai Yuan’s shoulder. Those words were exactly what he wanted. His judgment of the situation was totally the same as his.

Zong Zhen was close to losing his soul, looking at all that was happening at a loss. The series of blows nearly caused him to lose his mind, totally not as arrogant as before.

After a long while, he stepped forward, shaking his head, “You can’t do that! You are going to destroy our sky fox Zong family! Who gave you the right to set up another race? I definitely won’t recognize it…”

When his words landed, Zong Gang, Hu Qianqiu and Chai Yuan all pressed their hands on their weapons warily, eyes revealing killing intent.

Before this, as this was Zong Shou’s face matters they couldn’t interrupt. Now that Zong Shou set up another race, then naturally they could treat him as an enemy.

“Why do I need your recognition? I am the Gantian Mountain Monster king, the ruler of the fox!”

Zong Shou’s face faces the sun and shook his head. At this moment, he had calmed down and his impulsiveness had faded.

However, he felt a little weird. But since he had already done it, there was nothing to regret.

Following which he stepped forwards, down the altar.

“Remember, before Zong Shi died, he once said that in a chaotic world the strong is supported and what mattered is whose fist is the biggest. Although it was annoying, it made sense. You said I killed Zong Ming and Zong Hao for no reason. Killing those thousand disciples because I’m bloodthirsty and cruel. I’m lazy to retort you, so what if I am? I’ll just kill those thousand, what reason do I need to have?”

When he said those words his body suddenly stopped, stopping beside that Zong He and laughing unrestrained, “A dual meridian trash, actually daring to rely on his Father to be so arrogant. As expected he can only be happy for a moment. Unfortunately, our sky fox race close to thousand elite disciples died for nothing! Such a bastard, it’s good that he died. Didn’t you say those words just now?”

Zong He’s eyes constricted, his mouth opened wide as he wanted to explain. Zong Shou was lazy to listen, directly slashing out with the sword.

The sword light flashed across, only to see his head tossed high up in the air. Blood like a fountain as he spurted tens of feet in the air.

When the blood landed, the Zong family elders around all didn’t dare to dodge, allowing the blood to splatter on their bodies.

They only felt their hearts turn totally cold. Zong Shou didn’t hide his killing intent, directly piercing into their hearts and freezing their bones.

“Take a look. Within this entire city, my fist is the biggest, and my words are the law, the decree from heaven! I don’t know how my Father treated you all, but I am not him. So all of you don’t have to show me face.”

He stepped forward a few steps and this time he was in front of Zong Rui.
