Divine Brilliance

This sitting took up another 4 hours. It wasn’t until the sky started to brighten on the 2nd day that those crystal ants didn’t appear once more and there wasn’t any danger around.

When the blazing sun rose up at the horizon and shone down, everyone present heave a sigh of relief, filled with a feeling of escaping a calamity.

On the side of Linhai College, one could hear quarreling noises. Like the students and the 2 professors were targeting Xi Yan and the others who fled first. They seemed to form into 2 factions who were against one another.

Jin Buhui laughed coldly and stood up, “Something has happened on Dragon Gathering Mountain, in just a while, there would be a tough war. The owner of the crystal ants would be within them. If you want to leave then make your way out. If you want to die, then no one will be able to save you…”

The quarreling noises instantly stopped. The faces of the people on the other stone pillar all turned ashen white. There were already many people whose eyes showed fear and a desire to retreat.

The impression that was left on them yesterday was too deep. 20 people falling in one night. If it wasn’t for Zong Shou giving them the heads up so that they were prepared, whilst also leaving a formation base here for them, who knows. Maybe all of them would have died to the beast ants.

After Jin Buhui finished saying that, he stopped bothering about the groups of people, smiling towards Zong Shou, “I love taking risks, the more dangerous it is the more I would like to take a look. What are those people doing? However, the path is really dangerous and moving along together with you, it’s just nice we can look out for one another.”

Zong Shou had the same intention. He didn’t bother about the small hiccup that they had faced. Only that martial saint remnants was something he didn’t want to miss.

Keeping all the mind stones and beast crystals that hadn’t been fully used, he was right about to move. Following which he thought about it and told Gong Yue to follow.

He was confident that even in the most dangerous situation he would be able to protect that person’s life.

On this path towards the peak, they didn’t face any dangerous situation. They didn’t even meet a single beast that survived on the mountain. If nothing went wrong, they should have been cleared by the ant wave from yesterday.

Thinking about those demon fire crystal ants, Zong Shou’s heart felt cold, asking curiously, “Brother Jin do you know who the master of the ant queen is? Since it’s a grade 7 expert, acting against us in the Cloud Continent isn’t that against the rules?”

“Who said he’s grade 7?”

Jin Buhui shook his head, “I’m not surprised that brother Zong doesn’t now this person is from the central continent and is called the Ant-Man. He is the same as both of us and is a Return to Sun spirit master. However 20 years ago he obtained an ant queen egg and made it his natural protector beast. After ten over years of nurturing he gave birth to close to 100 thousand ants. Which was why he is so strong, the top of the continent, even some ascended ancestors and day wandering spirit masters aren’t his opponent.”

Zong Shou was startled, he didn’t know that The Central continent had such a person.

He was also secretly shocked. To think he thought that with his tens of sword intents and experience as a basic he was invincible grade 7 and below. Now it seems like he underestimated the people of the world.

Just this Ant-man alone was as strong as a million troops. Using a queen as a protector beast, what an idea, to think he succeeded.

What he felt weird was why such a person would run over to Dragon Gathering Mountain? Just to comprehend that martial saint remnant image? Then why did he dissipate the ant swarm yesterday? Hearing that last roar it was like he was fighting with someone?

Many thoughts didn’t receive an answer. Zong Shou knew that it was best if he didn’t step in and got as far away from this as possible.

Luckily there were experts sent by many sects to the Dragon Gathering Mountain so he didn’t need to worry about it.

Gong Yue was carried by Zong Yuan and all the way he sized up Zong Shou curiously.

He only felt that this fellow was different from how Gong Xinran described him in the letters.

The letters said that he was a very honest and responsible person who was kind. He worried and felt annoyed due to his inability to cultivate and was a pitiful person.

However, based on what he saw today he didn’t know if he was a responsible and honest person but anyways he was a vicious person.

As for cultivation, his combat strength was on the same level as the most exceptional direct disciple of the Haoxuan Sect. If this guy was so pitiful then what about other people?

Thinking about how they were discussing Zong Shou in the college a while back. Numerous people mocked and despised him. If they knew about what happened today, who knows how many of their jaws will drop.

Thinking about it this way, this Zong Shou was not an honest person.

400 miles of road, the 4 of them went at full speed and they covered it in just 6 hours.

At this place, they could see people around. There were many different powers, there were even many demon sect disciples.

These people all came from the ocean path on the west side and as such didn’t face the ants.

Dragon Gathering Mountain was split into inner and outer gates. Those core disciples of the large sects could directly enter through the inner gate, It was said that there were only 20 spots and no more people could enter.

People with backgrounds like him could only walk through the outer gate.

They needed to go through the heavy restrictions, solving puzzles to obtain the chance to take a look at his legacy.

Going in from the inner gate would make things much faster.

Zong Shou had the outer gate spot which was something Wei Xu ordered someone to take care of before he left.

At that time, Wei Xu probably didn’t expect that he would directly swallow Xiping and Tianfang Province in a few months.

As the owner of the land, he could bring however many of people he wanted in.

In the crowd, he saw many familiar sights, they were staring coldly at something.

Zong Shou looked over to see a robed teen standing a thousand feet away. Behind him were several muscular brutes who seemed to have come out of the army. They were standing tall like a boulder, not making a move at all.

All of them looked dark and cold, filled with bone-deep hatred. The appearance of the teen was also really similar to that Yue Guanyun.

Zong Shou took one glance and knew that this person was the son of Yue Guanyun Yue Linghuan. On the battlefield, the 2 of them had crossed swords in terms of military strategy.

Zong Shou won a complete victory but was unable to obtain the last province. Although Yue Linghuan had been defeated, he kept the foundations to rise once more.

However, this was the 1st time that the 2 of them met face to face.

Apart from which, ten thousand feet away, there was a woman who looked over curiously. She was also familiar, Zong Shou noticed there were several who were servants of Xiong Ba.

If it was, he expected then the woman should be the so called Princess Xuanyu. What was surprising was that she didn’t have the big muscular body of the bear race. She looked exquisitely beautiful, unfortunately, her body was just too tall, a total of 9 feet. She stood tall, in this area she was like an ostrich in a bunch of chicken.

“Your highness has many enemies…”

Jin Buhui noticed that the atmosphere here was a little off. He immediately giggled, feeling slightly interested. Ever since Zong Shou arrived most of the people all looked over. When they looked at Zong Shou, their expressions were weird.

Zong Shou mockingly laughed at himself, “My father’s enemies filled the land, I too am no better. For safety, I think brother Jin shouldn’t follow me in case you are dragged down.”

Amongst them naturally, there were many friendly ones. Most of them were sects under the common people path. Zong Shou saw Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan right away. The 2 of them had left 20 odd days ago back to their sects and were interested in coming over to participate in viewing this martial saint remnant image.

Zong Shou needed to keep a distance with the common people path and as such he didn’t go over to greet them, nodding his head as acknowledgment.

He didn’t bother about the other people, walking to a side and finding a clean stone to sit down.

Following which, as time went on more and more people gathered here, a total of a thousand.

Not only people from Donglin Cloud continent, but there were also many people who came over from the 4 continents and 12 islands.

Jin Buhui didn’t separate from him and they continued to sit together. His bean-like small eyes were focused as he swept about like he was looking for someone.

They waited until the 3rd day when many balls of light descended from the sky.

Without needing to see, everyone knew that these were the true experts that the various sects sent.

Zong Shou’s brows curled, sensing their aura, these people were all above grade 7. Amongst them, a few older ones were grade 8 and above. They were either spirit masters of martial cultivators.

The moment they arrived, the discussion noises here turned silent.

One of them with the highest cultivation was a 40 odd-year-old middle-aged man who seemed to have some relationship with Jin Buhui.

With just a glance Zong Shou knew that he was someone with Haoxuan Sect, who was Jin Buhui’s senior.

“He is my senior brother, his name is Xuan Taiji. Don’t look at his appearance, but he is a 6 meridian grandmaster. Unfortunately, he is an old fashioned person and is a little uninteresting. He is the one in charge of this martial saint remnant image…”

Just as he said that a person suddenly walked past. Jin Buhui didn’t know him, but Zong Shou’s brows raised. He recognized that he was Han Nishui.

He was expressionless and elegant, looking like a graceful scholar. He crossed his arm and walked. When he walked in front of them, he sized up Zong Shou and Zong Yuan. When he saw Jin Buhui he was slightly surprised however following which he didn’t mind much.

“Not meeting in tens of days, your highness is looking better! Your highness is bold, daring to come here alone. Aren’t you afraid of having accidents?”

Zong Shou smiled when he heard that, his smile was bright,” Seems like brother Han has been caring about my safety for really longer…”

Han Nishui’s gaze was sharp, he laughed lightly, “It is not wrong for you to say that. The humiliation tens of days ago, the Mysterious cloud sect and I will remember it in my heart. I naturally will pay attention to your highness’s safety.”

He said, “There’s also one matter that I need to inform your highness about. Not long ago, I will personally head towards Xuan Mountain City to propose the marriage. Originally I wanted to give up on it but I have changed my mind and I would like to compete with your highness…”
