“Peng!”

When that sharp spear image pierced through that heavy spell barrier, instantly blood spurted out. Hai Hongzhen’s neck snapped and exploded into pieces. His meaty head instantly flew up into the hair.

Just as everyone’s gazes couldn’t help but look away or was attracted to the rolling head, Zong Yuan’s body had retreated like a ghost.

His body returned to beside the fire, sitting cross-legged like he had never even moved. The entire process took just a breath, only the ten over grade 5 and above people caught it.

Those students only heard Zong Shou ask him to shut up before they saw a light flash and Hai Hongzhen’s head was tossed into the air. The blood that splattered causing Zhong Lishuang, who was right beside him, to be covered in blood.

Those few Return to Sun spirit masters and Xuanwu ancestors had faces that were ashen white. The latter was a little better whilst the former were all shocked and wary. They all instinctively summoned their protector beasts. One wasn’t enough, there needed to be 2 or more for them to feel at ease.

In that instance, they were only able to cast out one spell which Zong Yuan broke with one strike. The 2 Xuanwu ancestors were also unable to block him.

In other words, at this distance, if Zong Yuan went all out he could instantly kill anyone of them.

Zong Shou’s mouth was wide open, looking at the situation at a loss,” Zong Yuan, I only said to make him shut up...”

Even if the original Zong Shou had huge grievances against that Hai Hongzhen, but after all his feelings were separated by a layer to his.

In his eyes, it was just an argument between kids. He wasn’t so low to quarrel with a teen who had just reached 15 years of age.

Although he wanted to teach him a lesson, he wouldn’t want to take his life based on such disputes...

Did Zong Yuan misread his intentions? To make him shut up- killing him in one spear was indeed a good way to do so.

“I understand the ruler’s meaning!”

Zong Yuan’s expression was numb, his face turning slightly red, revealing a little embarrassed expression, “I was unable to control it...”

“Oh...”

Zong Shou was stunned once more, thinking about how Zong Yuan’s realm had indeed stabilized. However, after all, it wasn’t truly stable. The insight mysterious lightning body training art was something far above their grade that even he couldn’t control much less Zong Yuan?

It was okay to let this fellow kill someone, but to make him hold back was difficult.

Thinking about that, Zong Shou’s brows furrowed. How should he handle this? A moment later he sighed.

“Forget it, we have already killed him! Anyways that fellow was indeed an eyesore...”

He immediately stood up and got ready to leave. At this moment the true qi that was used up from cultivating the insight mysterious lightning body training art was far from being replenished.

However, he had just killed their student. If he continued to stay here he would only be asking for trouble.

Just as Zong Shou got on the horse and wanted to leave, the tens of people on the side of Linhai College were all riled up. A 70-year-old old man dressed in a Confucian robe walked out.

His face was lean, his eyes filled with rage. A few large steps and he blocked the 2 of them, “Your highness Zong Shou, do you still remember me?”

Zong Shou tilted his head and thought about it, finally finding relevant memories after a long while. He nodded his head, “I know you, the 1st-grade professor Xi Yan. When I was at the college searching for people to learn spells from I tried to find you 10 times and each time I couldn’t find you.”

Xi Yan’s face turned slightly red following which it turned back to normal quickly, saying coldly, “My student is immature and doesn’t know how to speak, he didn’t have any bad intentions. Just because you didn’t like his words you ordered your man to kill him, what kind of logic is that? This Hai Hongzhen was your classmate in the past. Don’t you think it is too cruel? Your highness, please give me an explanation today?”

“What kind of explanation do you want me to give you?”

Zong Shou was originally impatient already so when he heard that he felt even more annoyed. He wasn’t willing to have a war of words with him and directly asked, “I want to kill all of you here, are you satisfied with that explanation?”

Xi Yan held his breath, his face alternating between red and white. Those Linhai College people, from the professors to the disciples, all felt their hearts turn cold.

Xi Yan wanted to speak several times, but he swallowed it back. After a few times, he finally said furiously, “Preposterous! Preposterous! Fairness is in the heart, do you think you can threaten me? Your man might be skilled with the spear but if you want to kill us all do you think you can leave this place alive?”

As he said that his body shuddered like he was extremely furious.

“Stop the crap! If you want to fight for your student, then go ahead!”

As he said that Zong Shou understood something, “Are you worried that the Hai family will find trouble with you?”

Seeing Xi Yan keep silent Zong Shou slightly shook his head, “Ask them to directly find me. That person was rude so I ordered people to kill him. If they aren’t happy they can come reason with me. If you dare to stop me, I will kill you too. If you anger me I will burn down your Linhai College sooner or later...”

After he finished he was lazy to speak with him, directly shifting the horse to slowly move into the depths of the mountain.

That Xi Yan slightly hesitated, a moment later he made way. Looking at the back view of Zong Shou and Zong Yuan slowly fade into the distance, he muttered to himself, his heart filled with shock.

A year has passed, how did this Zong Shou become like this? Vicious and decisive, extremely sharp, unlike before when he was so careful. That threatening aura made even him feel terrified.

Zhong Lishuang, as well as the few who were familiar with Zong Shou, was also at a loss.

They also knew Zong Shou before. He was determined, although he had a trash body, he didn’t give up. When he fought others, he was the same, even if he knew he wasn’t strong enough, even if he got beaten to death, he didn’t admit defeat.

However, he wasn’t as aggressive as now, with just a word he could decide a person’s life!

“Senior brother Hai, did he just die like that?”

The person who spoke didn’t dare to even look at the body of Hai Hongzhen, his body shaking, “When did Zong Shou become so vicious?”

“Vicious? Hey, this person was bullied every day by senior brother Hongzhen, now that he has power and have such a strong expert following him, he would take revenge! Senior brother Hai has no eyes...”

“...However just now junior brother Zong is domineering! In the past, everyone looked down on him and didn’t see how smart he was. In just a few months he became a cloud continent overlord with so much control...”

The one who spoke this time was a girl who caused everyone around to frown.

“So what if he has so much power and intelligence? In the end, he is still trash and at most can live for 80 years. In the future when I travel the world with my soul he would have become dust and dirt. Sooner or later I will help senior brother Hai repay this blood debt!”

“It was said that a while ago news spread from Gantian Mountain that this Zong Shou could kill grade 6 monster beasts when he was young. Before he entered the Linhai College he forced away a Yin serpent. He only came to our snow family race which was why he would come to our college to read. Isn’t that a joke? We all saw how he was like those 3 years. Even if he wanted himself to look good he didn’t have to do that...”

“They all said that he was talented and a great strategist, I think that is it. If it wasn’t for the loyalty of the people his father left him, he would have died long ago. I think he won’t be able to be gleeful for too long. The Hai family people wouldn’t easily let this matter go!”

All of them discussed, those teachers were still in shock and didn’t speak to stop them.

Zong Lishuang regained his senses, wiping away the blood on his face. He didn’t intend to participate in the discussion.

Hearing the words of these people around he only felt his heart turn cold. After the death of Hai Hongzhen, the many junior and senior brothers felt unjust for him. However, no one cared that he had died.

Apart from the group, there were a few shrewd people who kept silent and didn’t speak. Zhong Lishuang looked behind him and saw a teen who was looking at the direction that Zong Shou left in like he was deep in thought about something.

...

Traveling out on the horse by thousands of feet, Zong Shou could still hear the voices of the people behind him.

Some were stirred up whilst some were gloating. Zong Shou didn’t bother about all of them, sealing all the voices out of his ears.

This Dragon Gathering mountain spread 500 miles from north to south, it was extremely huge. There weren’t many branch mountains which was why the gradient was really small.

However, when Zong Shou and Zong Yuan crossed the dense forest, just as they traveled ten over miles of road, they felt an intent in the area.

They couldn’t see any marks, just feeling his mind was receiving many successive hits.

“This is fist intent!” action

Zong Shou closed his eyes and felt, when he deduced through the source of the martial path intent, his eyes looked in fear towards the top of the hill.

Zong Shou nodded his head slightly, “If my guess is correct, the restriction left by the martial saint should be this martial path intent. If one can resist it, one can enter. If one can’t, then one should only give up...”

Them martial cultivators were like that. They liked to be direct, they weren’t as dazzling as spiritual masters.

Zong Shou was conflicted. He was a dual cultivator and his spiritual cultivation was even much better than his martial path cultivation.

He traveled for tens of miles. No matter how the 2 of them forced them the 2 dragon horned winged horses weren’t willing to step forward anymore. Such fear was such a loss of dignity.

Although the intent was left by a saint, its strength was 1 out of 10 million of it was before. They were also separated by such a large distance. Speaking of which these 2 horses were warhorses that were specially trained.

Helplessly, the 2 of them could only abandon the horse and travel up by foot. However, Zong Shou wasn’t strolling as relaxed as before, he was now really careful.

To be able to make the dragon horned winged horses like that, who knows there might be some huge danger ahead that they sensed which was why they were unwilling to travel forwards.
