Chapter 185: Chapter 185 Give an explanation

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Hu Zhongyuan closed his eyes and waited to die. However, a sword suddenly stabbed out from the carriage. Not only was there no sound or sign, but it also seemed transparent. It wasn’t to save Hu Zhongyuan, but the sword directly stabbed towards where the ax came from.

In mid-air, the ax and sword clashed. However, they didn’t hit straight on. They just brushed each other slightly and then went separate ways a slight brush and they went they separate ways.

A petite body suddenly appeared on the carriage. A thousand feet away, one could see a 40-year-old middle-aged man, hand holding the old copper ax. His face was really ugly. He seemed to be extremely furious. A bloody color appeared at the front of his chest, dyeing that shirt slowly red.

Ruo Shui stood on the carriage, holding onto the long sword. Her expression was calm and composed as she looked forward without any feeling in her face. The aura she gave off was like her sword, as gentle as water.

She was totally different from the ax wielder in front of her. Although she was an alluring and attractive person, when she was quiet, she didn’t give off any signs of existence. If it wasn’t that she was standing in the middle of everyone’s eyes, she wouldn’t have been noticed.

Luo Xian seemed uncertain, looking at Ruo Shui’s hand, at that transparent Long sword shining under the sun, a look of worry appeared on her face.

His eyes were filled with killing intent. Just as his vengeful aura got thick, he suddenly saw the door of the carriage open. Zong Shou yawned, looking like he just woke up as he walked out from the carriage.

“What’s happening, why is it so noisy?”

Looking around, Zong Shou rubbed his eyes, his expression was filled with loss. Following which he was furious, “What’s happening? Hu Zhongyuan didn’t I ask you to wait outside the city? Why did you fight with Xuan Mountain City? Who was the first to act? This is the place of my future in-laws, How can I anger them? The two of you are so unreasonable! Aren’t you going to apologize!”

Luo Xian was so furious that he wanted to spit out blood. Just now this kid was looking on with interest, now in the eyes of everyone he dared to act like this! How could there be such a shameless person in the world?

Just as fury surged out of his eyes, the ancient sun ax in his hand started flowing once more. Zong Shou’s face turned cold, looking seriously over, “You are Xuan Mountain City’s Luo Xian? Although my two servants are wrong, you just need to slightly punish them. Do you need to be so hard on them? Is your Xuan Mountain City ready to break the alliance and be enemies with my Gantian Mountain?”

Luo Xian held his breath, only feeling energy stuck in his chest unable to get out. Just as he wanted to go all out, stopping at nothing to kill this Gantian Mountain prince, there was a holler from afar.

“Stop!”

A man dressed in armor suddenly stepped out from the layers of soldiers. Riding on a 3 horned foal that was nearly double the size of a Windrider foal. His face was handsome, and his lips were like cinnabar. One couldn’t know his age but he seemed around 30. His hands were empty, just moving near the carriage. Be it Ruo Shui or Hu Zhongyuan they didn’t bother about him.

Just as all the Xuan Mountain City martial masters showed surprise, this person got off the horse and greeted, “Xuan Mountain City Zhu Junhou greets the prince! In the past, your father had saved my life and I’m filled with gratitude.”

Zong Shou was slightly startled, thinking that this Xuan Mountain City still has people who knew respect and to be polite, what a rare sight. Seeing this person’s expression turn cold after standing up, “Since our Xuan Mountain City and Gantian Mountain allied, every time Gantian Mountain had matters we would go all out. Why did the prince allow your subordinates to be so unrestrained to harm people in my city and scold the city lord?”

“So it seems like you do know our two sides are allies?”

Zong Shou scoffed coldly, turning around at Hu Zhongyuan who have already crawled up, “Zhongyuan how long did we have to wait outside?”

Hu Zhongyuan was grimacing in pain. However, at this moment, he suddenly had energy, pointing out 4 fingers, “8 hours, from morning to night. We waited 8 hours at the city gates!”

“So it’s only 8 hours, no wonder I didn’t sleep enough! How tired...”

Zong Shou yawned once more, looking tired and lazy, “So this is how Xuan Mountain City treats guests? Why not we go back outside and wait for a little while more?”

Zhu Houjun frowned, his eyes stabbing towards Luo Xian like lightning. That Luo Xian seemed awkward. He gave out a furious scoff before looking away. “A person who can’t protect himself and doesn’t know his place. What’s the point of meeting him? Little miss definitely can’t marry trash like him, our Xuan Mountain City also can’t accept such a person!”

When Zong Shou heard that he laughed coldly, “So that’s the case! I understand City lord Xuanyuan’s attitude. Since this place doesn’t welcome me then I won’t stay for long. Let’s go...”

He didn’t say anything more, waving his sleeves and causally walking back to the carriage.

Chuxue filled her eyes and immediately drove the carriage to change directions towards the city gates. That Hu Zhongyuan and Zong Yuan didn’t say a word, getting into their Windrider foals and following closely behind.

Seeing the situation, Zhu Junhou’s face turned white and green, staring viciously at Luo Xian before bowing once more, “Prince please stop! City lord Xuanyuan has orders to meet you in Tiegang Hall!”

Zong Shou stayed within the carriage, giving off no aura and sound. That Zhu Junhou frowned once more before sighing. His expression seemed more respectful, “What happened today, my Xuan Mountain City will give the prince an explanation!”

That Luo Xian was even more furious, just as he was about to speak, he felt those cold eyes of Zhu Junhou landing over on him. His heartfelt cold and he couldn’t say out any other word...

...

The so-called Tiegang Hall wasn’t within Xuan Mountain City but on the Xuan mountain behind the city.

The so-called Xuan Mountain was 24 thousand feet high, directly stabbing into the clouds. Apart from the side facing the mountains. The other sides were like giant stones comparable to steel, the cliffs were like a thousand knives. The mountain was majestic, becoming a natural city wall for the city. With ten thousand people defending it, it was impenetrable.

Even the side facing the city was arduous and dangerous. Luckily there was twisting and turning mountain path that connected to the peak. The carriage could travel on all land types and could barely travel in this area.

Chuxue didn’t need to drive anymore and was taken over by Zong Yuan. She was beside Zong Shou, blinking curiously, “Young master, we caused so many problems and nothing happened. Just now, I was so afraid and thought that uncle would die...”

Zong Shou smiled and didn’t reply. How could he flip on them? Everyone thought that he had something to ask from Xuan Mountain City.

However, there were a few that saw that when Gantian Mountain’s power went from 9 provinces to 5, this Xuan Mountain City was negligible to them.

Zong Weiran had the ambition to swallow the world which was why he made Xuan Mountain City the east barrier, such that he could attack the west without any worry. action

Now that he had already died, Gantian Mountain protecting themselves was a problem. This Xuan Mountain City became a problem and wasted their strength.

Moreover, Zong Shou was a person without much ambition. If not for Xuanyuan Yiren he would be lazy to care about the life and death of this city. Even if they hugged the legs of Pill Fountain Sect or Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect, they might not be able to protect it. If it was Lingyun Sect then it would barely be possible.

Everyone thought that the two sects were strong. They had 10 ascended ancestors. However, that Xuan Mountain City lord knew the specifics.

Seeing that he didn’t reply, Chuxue was more and more curious, tugging at his sleeves. Her eyes were watery like she was begging him.

Zong Shou glared at her before pouting in disdain, “Even if I say, can you understand? Think about their position and how much man and troops we have in this Tianlan Province. Around here our Gantian Mountain might be able to get some benefits...”

Chuxue was instantly furious. He was just underestimating her intelligence! Even if the one who said that was her young master, she couldn’t take it!

Resisting the urge to smack him in the head, she pouted as she sat down and was ready to think about it. She had to understand and get this whole matter such that this fellow wouldn’t underestimate her! However, after a short moment, her eyes became more and more blur.

Position? Troops? Benefits? What? Why is it getting more and more complicated?

On the other hand, Ruo Shui lying on the mattress had some idea.

Zong Shou didn’t bother about Chuxue. Who knew if they were worried about them causing trouble again, around them were a black wave of soldiers. Among the many xiantian which protected the carriage, there were 4 martial ancestors. They were alert whilst furious, looking over occasionally.

Zong Shou didn’t care, waving at Zhu Junhou causally. The latter was startled. After hesitating, he brought his horse to the side, after bowing he asked warily, “What matters does the prince have?”

Zong Shou looked at this person deeply, until his heart started to beat faster did he smile calmly, “Why isn’t uncle staying in the city but on the mountain? What kind of place is this Tiegang Hall?”

Zhu Junhou’s heart calmed down, hesitating slightly before saying, “I can tell prince this! The city lord hasn’t bothered about City matters in recent years, focusing on his martial path. 3 years ago as he reached a bottleneck and was unable to advance. He let the people build a giant stone hall on the mountain. It was made purely of Tiegang stone and also invited several Back to Sun realm spirit masters to forge a spiral formation. Astral energy lingered such that once any cultivator enters they are unable to use why true qi and spiritual power. He wanted to reduce his cultivation to start from the bottom to confirm and prove his martial path and correct the weaknesses. This is common amongst martial cultivators. Seems like the prince is knowledgeable and should have heard of it. Because of this Hall, I have recently improved a lot too!”
