Chapter 337 Living Because of Her

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

In truth, although the silver-haired old man looked perfectly fine, he had suffered pretty heavy injuries.

His world shocking true qi wasn’t so easy to receive.

Just as he thought about that, he saw the body of the old man, half of his clothes turned into ash, burnt by a red flame. The other side was frozen.

However that wasn’t only it, the water and fire spiral power were continuously interchanging within his body.

That silver-haired old man couldn’t take it anymore, a mouthful of blood-spitting out. However, he used this mouthful of blood to spit out all the remaining true energy.

Zong Shou laughed coldly and didn’t bother with him anymore. His eyes coldly looking beneath his feet, stabbing into the forehead of Shi Fatian, instantly a thread of blood flowed out.

“Did you think I was talking terms with you? Since I said those words, it is an order. Even if your entire snow lion race is wiped out, you have to achieve that. Do you understand?”

Shi Fatian only felt really humiliated, trying his best to struggle. However, he was trampled beneath the feet of Zong Shou, pressing him on the ground such that he couldn’t move.

“I know that all of you have gotten used to freedom beneath the cloud ocean, arrogant and untamed. However, this is above the cloud ocean, under the rule of my Gantian Mountain! This time I can forgive all of you, but if there is a 2nd time, I will definitely wipe out your race!”

Whilst he spoke he used the sword tip to move along the brows of Shi Fatian, drawing out a line of blood. It was actually a ‘slave’ word which was written on his forehead.

The silver-haired old man was furious but he didn’t dare to move. Shi Dingyuan and the other brothers had their eyes were popping out of their sockets. However, they were all suppressed by that aura, unable to make a move.

“Doesn’t your snow lion race believe in the strong ruling, that the weak should just die? Now you should understand that Ruolan is stronger than you all because I am here! The only reason all of you are still living is because of her, that she still doesn’t want you all to die. The land that all of you are standing on is given to Ruolan by me and not to all of you, understood?”

As he said that, the sword tip was stabbed a little further in, a thread of world shocking true energy charged in and flowed about.

Shi Fatian could instantly feel that there were like numerous steel knives tearing up his meridians inch by inch. The fire and water power was conflicting continuously within.

The pain that made him want to end his life instantly spread across his body, making his muscles twist up.

In the end, he gave out an extremely painful ‘ah’.

Zong Shou didn’t care, the smile on his face became even crueler.

He wanted to viciously torture him some more to leave a deeper impression in that guy’s head, however his shirt was tugged by Shi Ruolan. He lowered his head, only to see her look over with a pleading face.

Zong Shou was helpless and felt a lot of pent up frustration, however, he had no choice but to let this Shi Fatian go. However, before he lifted his leg he stepped down heavily. A loud thud as it caused Shi Fatian’s body to sink deeper down.

Then he didn’t turn his head. He just left. He simply didn’t have much to speak to these people about.

However, just as he took a few steps, the priest of the snow lion race respectfully said, “Ruler please stop! Can you leave Ruolan? She has the maniac lion snow seal on her and is the true direct bloodline of our race. To us, she is simply too important. The ancestors bless us, allowing our race to have a true direct descendant appear, she concerns the rise and fall of our race. Ruler, please allow me, Shi Bin, to take care of her.”

When he said that, Shi Fatian and Shi Dingyuan were shocked, looking at the silver-haired old man with a pleading expression. The latter’s face was green and he didn’t speak a word.

Around this place was a bunch of snow lion race people who were all riled up but could do nothing. When they heard that they all exchanged glances, looking at Shi Ruolan with disbelief.

Such a girl who would be considered small and weak even in a normal lion race family was the true direct descendent of the snow lion race? How was that possible?

But looking at the priest’s solemness as he spoke as well as the anxiousness on his face, it didn’t look like he was lying.

Zong Shou stopped in his tracks as he smiled towards Shi Ruolan who was in his arms, “Little brat do you want to follow me? Or do you want to remain here in your race?”

Shi Ruolan hesitated slightly, but a moment later she felt that the warmth in Zong Shou’s arms was more attractive.

On the contrary, the coldness within the race that made it hard for one to breath was something she feared.

She immediately shook her head and tightly hugged Zong Shou. She would rather follow this stranger who treated her well than remain in this familiar race.

Zong Shou instantly laughed out, although he had made his mind up to forcefully take her away even if she wanted to stay when he heard her answer, he felt really happy about it.

However this Shi Bin seemed to be a smart and reasonable person. Zong Shou smiled as he turned around his head.

“Do you regret it? Anyways it is too late. How about this, don’t blame me for not giving you all a chance. If your snow lion race wants her to return then bring 64 sky lions. Let these bastards kneel and welcome their new race leader to ask for her to return from Gantian Mountain...”

After he said that, Zong Shou didn’t want to speak to these people, walking up casually onto his cloud crossing carriage.

Hu Zhongyuan, who followed behind, tossed the remnant piece of fur coat on his body to the side.

Actually, he wasn’t cold, cultivating to the Xuanwu ancestor realm. His body’s vital energy was sufficient and he wasn’t afraid of hot or cold. Even if he was naked he wouldn’t need to care about the winter.

He wore the fur coat just to show off.

This was a grade 5 beast that he killed under the cloud ocean, it was really meaningful to him and was rare.

He scoffed as he looked towards the snow lion race with disdain, following which he followed behind the group of people.

A cloud crossing carriage and tens of grade 4 elite mounts were far away from the city gates of the abandoned city.

Just as Zong Shou’s carriage finally disappeared from their sights, one of Shi Fatian’s daughters, a silver-haired teen furiously opened her mouth, “What a bully! What does he treat our snow lion race as? Do we regret it? Who will bother about that brat? She’s a jinx, it is better that she is gone...”

Before she finished that silver-haired old man scoffed coldly before slapping out. With a crips ‘pa’. It caused the teen to fly.

Shi Fatian’s face was sunken and dark but he didn’t bother. He asked seriously, “senior brother, is it true that Ruolan is the direct bloodline of our race? Is it really as what that Zong Shou said?”

“You dare directly call his name?”

The silver-haired old man stared viciously at Shi Fatian, his eyes were filled with rage at looking at someone useless, “I heard that this person had a hugely important victory not long ago. With the power of 5 provinces to go against 3 countries. They not only reclaimed lost land, but it was also said that he managed to cause the country to expand. On the battlefield, he had never lost. It is said that there is no one in the Donglin Cloud Continent with an equal amount of strength. The prosperity of the country isn’t something that our lion race was at its best could compare to. Such a person, even if he was weak and couldn’t fight as the rumors said, he was worth us worshipping and had the rights to be the king of the monster race. Furthermore, he is, in fact, our ruler. You dare to address him like that?”

Shi Fatian’s face was dark and depressed but he didn’t make a sound. A moment later he heard the silver-haired old man laugh coldly, “The rumors are after all rumors. To be able to threaten the lion, bear and wolf races, you really think he couldn’t cultivate at all? Our lion race does respect the strong. That monster king is not only stronger than you but he also exceeds me. With just a word he can cause our snow lion race to fall into an irrecoverable position. What balls do you have to retort him? Do you think this is beneath the cloud ocean when your words meant a lot? Under this person’s roof, we have to lower our head. I don’t think you need to be the race leader anymore. From today on, I, Shi Luotian, will personally take over! Within a few years, I will think of a way to welcome Ruolan back...”

Shi Fatian’s body shuddered as he looked calmly at the silver-haired old man. Although he wasn’t willing in his heart, he didn’t dare to oppose. Only asking in fear,” Which means that Ruolan is our snow lion direct bloodline.”

“The lion of the palm...”

The one who replied was the old priest, he smiled bitterly, “I should have expected it. Our bloodline inherited the blood of the god beast. 6 spirit snow lion. Wasn’t there another name on the lion of the palm? No wonder she was so small and thin. This little brat is not only our snow lion race direct bloodline, but she is also protected by our ancestors. She has the maniac lion snow seal. Her future is so far, what we all can’t imagine. I only know that in the last generation a person with maniac lightning snow seal was an ancestor 10 thousand years ago. He used the strength of the seal to have special abilities and reached the saint realm early on...”

Shi Fatian’s eyes instantly constricted, tightly clutching onto his clothes. Unlimited amounts of regret chewed at his heart.

What the monster king said was true! Shi Ruolan was the pure direct bloodline of their Shi family!

The purity of her bloodline was even several times stronger than his first and second son.

He could feel what he had lost. His voice was bitter.

“Since that was the case then why did the 2 of you not do anything and see her get brought away?”

“Not do anything? With just us, can we stop him? Not only did that monster king grasp sword intent and the legendary king path mysterious techniques. His spiritual cultivation is also at the night wandering realm. Moreover, those few teens are all extraordinary especially the person with that spear, even you might not be his opponent! Speaking of which that monster king’s body has star tattoos...”

His voice was leisure as he said those shocking words. His tone slightly sunk.

“On the contrary, Fatian since you know that the monster king had high hopes for Ruolan, why did you dare to treat her like that?”

Seeing Shi Fatian keep silent and not speak, Shi Bin’s eyes shifted on the few daughters of Shi Fatian. A moment later he understood, scoffing coldly before taking his leave.

“3 days later send them all to Gantian Mountain, allow the ruler to do what he wants until his anger is appeased. The people who have caused calamity to our race are better off dead!”
