Divine Brilliance

Chapter 842: Totally Unstoppable

At this moment, within Wushen Palace, Zong Shou’s laughter had already stopped.

He didn’t explain everything, even though everyone was looking at him with weird gazes. He sat quietly with his eyes closed, actually entering a focused state in this place. He stopped worrying about any of them.

Fuyue’s eyes turned and then he broke into a laugh. He actually walked back and returned to his original seat.

Although he didn’t know why Zong Shou was laughing, he knew that maybe there would really be a change in the situation today.

Hong Jiuchen and Tanjing were fazed. In the end, Hong Jiuchen laughed coldly.

“He’s just faking!”

Since Linxu City was already broken, what did he have to worry about? The look of worry had all disappeared, he just closed his eyes and didn’t say a word.

Tanjing’s eyes flashed. A look of disdain flashed from the depths of his eyes. He too didn’t say a word.

The entire Celestial Palace instantly quietened down, but this silence was short-lived. Just 4 hours later...

Outside of this Wushen Celestial Palace, a Spiritual Light suddenly charged in.

It was a Celestial Realm Cultivator who was really panicky. With just a flash, he entered the hall.

After looking at the people here, his expression was really ugly as he frowned.

He hesitated slightly before speaking to the person at the elevated platform. However, they were using a secret language that others couldn’t understand.

Who knows what they spoke about. However, Hong Jiuchen frowned afterward too.

Tanjing didn’t understand. Shortly after, a fire red Spiritual Swallow flew in from the void.

In just a short moment, his eyes turned totally dark.

Fuyue and the others looked on curiously, however, they knew that the situation had definitely changed.

“What is the matter, why is there a need to be so secretive? You two actually don’t dare to tell the rest of us?”

Fuyue scoffed and mocked, “Don’t the few of us all have ears and eyes around and are knowledgeable. How long can you two hide the matter from us?”

Hong Jiuchen’s face was green, his muscles tightly tensed up. Right as he was about to speak, Mufang grabbed a silver crane from the void.

After closing his eyes for a moment, he looked toward Zong Shou with a weird expression.

“Brother Fuyue doesn’t need to ask anymore. Two hours ago Zhuang Yu led 30,000 infantry to stop the enemy in Qingjian Canyon. He fought the 600,000 troops under Guixuan for 4 hours. They pushed forth 10 miles and killed 70,000. Zhuang Yu actually personally led the troops to kill 3 Spirit Realm Cultivators under Brother Hong. They are totally unstoppable and they are now at the climax...”

Fuyue was startled and then came to his senses, “Isn’t Qingjian Canyon behind Linxu City? In other words, Zhuang Yu prepared it. Isn’t this person just Grade-7. His troops are weaker than Guixuan by close to 20 times. To kill a Spirit Realm, how is that possible?”

Before he finished, his expression changed. A light suddenly entered his hand.

Moments later, his expression became weird. He then laughed, “Zhuang Yu! He hid it so deeply. A Yuanlian World native could actually reach Peak Spirit Realm, even personally nurturing such a strong army. Xuandu Guards? If Jiujing didn’t die to Cultivator Zong he would definitely fall to him.”

He continued, “What a good plot! Where Qingjian Canyon is, only 10,000 troops can be spread out. The land rises and sinks down, it isn’t good for cavalry to charge. First, to act weak at Linxu City and then use elites to strike their elites, to fight head-on. How amazing! Who knows what will happen in this battle? Will Zhuang Yu defeat your Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty against all odds or will your General Guixuan turn things around?”

While saying this, he looked toward Zong Shou. A weird glow flashed in his eyes.

It was filled with both awe and also wariness.

Hong Jiuchen scoffed to express his unhappiness. His expression was still quite calm. Although Guixuan suffered losses in the canyon, it wasn’t at an irrecoverable stage.

As long as he was careful, it wouldn’t affect the big picture.

However, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more suppressive and weird.

Zong Shou still sat with his eyes closed. Fuyue smiled while Mufang was stunned.

They were all waiting for the changes in the situation.

They didn’t need to wait for long. Just 2 hours and a bright light spread in.

This time Fuyue’s news was quicker. The light directly landed in his hands as his brow rose. He broke into a laugh.

“Guixuan has collapsed in Qingjian Canyon! 600,000 Iron Cavalry lost 4 in 4 battles, stepping over one another, only half survived! Zhuang Yu struck for 30 miles and has already killed 200,000. His 2,000 cavalry at the front are pretty much unstoppable...”

While he spoke, there was suddenly a loud explosion.

Everyone looked out, only to see Hong Jiuchen smashing the wine cup in his hand into pieces.

Fuyue smiled and didn’t care at all. He looked toward Zong Shou and continued, “The Grade-6 Cavalry Army belongs to Ruler, right? How amazing!”

Zong Shou didn’t reply which made him seem a little awkward, however, he really didn’t care that much. His lips curled as his expression was very carefree.

The huge defeat of Guixuan’s troops at Qingjian Canyon meant that the Yuanlian World situation was changing.

Even with Hong Jiuchen and Tanjing working together, they might not be able to suppress all of them.

At this moment, more information spread out. When they found out about the factual news, their expressions were all different.

Hong Jiuchen’s eyes flashed as he had thought about something. He exchanged glances with Tanjing and then he stood up, “We have drank for a full day, it is time for all of you to leave. I will say goodbye to you all respectfully...”

“Why is there such a need?”

A cold voice spread out at the lower part of the hall, “Brother Hong invited us here to watch the battle right? In case we all do things in the dark. Now that the situation is not good, you want to end the banquet. You are a little stingy. We aren’t your subjects for you to command as you like!”

The voice was firm and wasn’t to be doubted or questioned.

This was the first time Zong Shou opened his eyes. He looked out toward the voice. This person was sitting next to him, he was a male that was as beautiful as a flower, unbelievably handsome.

They said that the Fox Race males were charming, but the members of the Azura Race were even more beautiful than them.

However, the Fox Race members were born with a natural Illusionary Technique, so that once they met the opposite sex, they would cause them to adore them. The person in front of him was filled with fierce energy, his eyes were extremely sharp.

If one was slightly weaker, one would be terrified in front of this person.

This person was Chahou Hu!

Within the hall, apart from him, this person had the lowest cultivation. He was only Initial Celestial Realm.

However, the people in the hall couldn’t just ignore him.

Even Hong Jiuchen couldn’t. His expression fluctuated for just that moment before he sat back down.

In the next few hours, news from Yuanlian World suddenly exploded out.

“Guixuan rushed to Jibian Mountain and obtained the support of 200,000 infantry. He reorganized the troops, getting off the horses and fighting on foot, using the re-energized forces to fight Zhuang Yu. This place was wider and could spread out 70,000 troops...”

“Zhuang Yu used 5,000 Red Crossbowmen, shooting from 30,000 feet away. Where the arrows landed, people definitely died. They shot 10 times and 30,000 soldiers died.”

“Guixuan was helpless and could only go all out to fight. Zhuang Yu took the chance to use the cavalry to charge. The Xuandu Guards along with 5,000 Red Infantry closely behind them and 5,000 Crossbowmen shooting and blocking at close distance. Guixuan lost once more, nearly 70% of the 400,000 troops died.”

“Linxu City is broken, returning to the hands of Xuan Country. Guixuan flees in panic!”

Hong Jiuchen clenched his fists, his joints giving rise to a cracking sound.

Linxu City fell back into the hands of Great Xuan. So, after several days, the war matter had returned to just how it was a few days ago.

Seven Countries of the southwest, they didn’t even take a step back at all. However, they themselves suffered huge losses of troops; the troops under Guixuan, even included the Elite Dao Soldiers under him, a full 30,000 of them.

However, during the Qingjian Canyon battle, under the strikes of the 30,000 infantry and cavalry of Zhuang Yu, 40% died!

He fell heart pained, an unbearable feeling in his heart.

At this stage, it was impossible to wipe out the Seven Countries in one sweep.

They could only try their best to swiftly consolidate the battlefield.

His eyes stared right at the teen who was sitting quietly with a dark and venomous gaze.

This Cloud World Great Gan should have had no foundations in Yuanlian World to speak of. They thought that by baiting him to promise to follow the outer region rules that they could easily chase him out.

However, today he had totally gained a stable footing.

Zong Shou didn’t worry about his gaze, carefully looking at the message talismans which spread over.

Ruoshui followed his instructions, writing in detail how Zhuang Yu arranged the troops for each battle, how he commanded them, how he adapted during the battle, all of them into the message talisman.

This was why although Zong Shou didn’t personally witness it, he knew what happened in those few battles like he was there himself.

“A mighty lord, a talent who can become a great General...”

Looking at how he used troops, he was just a little weaker than Ren Tianxing and Zong Yuan, but there was not much substantial difference.

If he fought against them, it would be 40/60.

The way he plotted things and managed the troops was around their level, just weaker than Kong Yao. He was a rare all-rounded talent...

He could be a Ruler of a country and manage land by himself!

This person really couldn’t be given any chance to be a good official during the peaceful period of the world.

Zong Shou’s brain felt a twitching pain. It was going to be tough to control such a person.

He shook his head and tossed this problematic matter to the side. He raised his eyes and smiled as he looked at Mufang.

“Brother Mu! Have you considered? Do you remember what we spoke about? The chance is rare, if you miss this, you might not have such a chance in the future...”

The moment he said this, the expressions of the people within the hall all changed.

Hong Jiuchen and Tanjing looked toward Mufang with knife-like gazes.

They were thinking to themselves, had this person really colluded with Zong Shou?

Mufang felt annoyed, both at Zong Shou’s words and also at the gazes of the people above.

Just as he was in deep thought, another streak of light shot down outside of Wushen Palace. It was another Asura Race Celestial Realm Cultivator.

After bowing toward Chahou Hu, he expressionlessly looked at the people within the hall.

“An hour ago, Ya Country Donghai King changed flags, setting up an independent country and wants to join Great Gan rule!”
