Chapter 1045: Is There A Problem?

Within the Cloud World, the only person who could help Dan’er get over this tribulation was Xiuguan.

Luckily, the kid didn’t have World Burning Blood right away after being born. Now, he hadn’t completed his evolution and there was still a chance to improve it.

Zong Shou felt a headache. Luckily, the Lu Family didn’t know about Dan’er and he wasn’t in the family records, otherwise, there would be more changes.

Xuanyuan Yiren’s face turned white. Sending Little Dan away meant that they had to be separated.

Although Xiuguan was still within the Cloud World but he was a casual person and his tracks were tough to find. Once the Common People’s Path matter was settled, who knew where he was going to go?

Although she was a good mother, she knew her place. Her eyes were filled with sadness as she said with determination, “Common People’s Path Ancestor Xiuguan? With him taking care, Dan’er will be fine and that would be for the best.”

“This matter is no rush, we can talk about it in a while!”

Zong Shou smiled and he also knew that Xuanyuan Yiren couldn’t bear to. He also wasn’t willing to send his son away after only seeing him a few times.

He wouldn’t allow his son to not recognize him when he grew up.

However, he couldn’t delay the sealing of the World Burning Blood.

“This kid only has a nickname, after he grows up, let’s call him Leping, Zong Leping…”

Before returning, he wished that his children, even if they weren’t like him, who had such sword path goals, would live a great life and not let him down.

Now that he returned, he just hoped that this kid would be happy and peaceful.

Suddenly, he thought back to Zong Weiran. When he was young, his father probably felt the same way too.

After saying this, Zong Shou looked behind his wife at the huge bunch of people waiting for him.

Twelve Dragon Horses dragged a carriage, a full Ruler rite. Including Renbo, pretty much all the important Gantian Mountain people were gathered here.

Close to 1,000 Grade Seven Cultivators stood in the air with respectful expressions.

There were 80,000 cavalry riding Cloud Foals who stepped in the air.

At this moment, his prestige and power were on full display.

But Zong Shou felt annoyed. Now that he just returned to Gantian he had many things that he wanted to say to Yiren. He had craved for long and wished that they could sleep together for many nights. Where would he even bother about all these annoying people?

However, before he was able to speak up and chase them away, Renbo bowed, “Ruler returning is a blessing for our Great Gan. Ruler, please board and tour the city to see the people!”

Hu Qianqiu and Zong Gang were among them, Qiu Wei and the few elders bowed solemnly too, “The Ruler’s rites can’t be ignored. Ruler, please board the carriage to tour the city!”

Zong Shou was stunned and looked at the few expressionless people closely. His expression became serious before he grabbed her hand and stepped into the carriage.

He spread out his Spiritual Sense across the city. In that instant, numerous voices spread into his mind.

“Enemy of the Confucians? Is Ruler really an ignorant Ruler?”

“What are you even saying? What kind of life did we have in the past? No food! What about now, as long as we work hard we can wear good clothes and eat nice food! If such a Ruler is ignorant, then what would you say about those Rulers in the past? Trash?”

“I heard that yesterday when the three factions attacked Common People’s Path, Ruler they were forced back by Ruler. The Confucian Saint Zhu Zi was embarrassed and became angry.”

“I heard that Ruler is a Common People’s Path disciple. Zhu Zi said that Ruler believes in the Demon Path and doesn’t follow rules, not following the words of the Saints, going against the Heavens…”

“In my eyes, it actually isn’t bad for wanting equality for the people.”

“Won’t that mess things up? Do you want Ruler and the other nobles to be equal with people like us?”

“Ruler removed private troops and removed special privileges. Beneath the law, the nobles and commoners are the same, this is equality. Those nobles helped to build up this country, so it is natural they enjoy more.”

“Great Shang followed the words of the Saint and so what? Chaos all around and people have such a tough life. On the contrary, our Great Gan is not only able to protect our land, but our people are so peaceful and we are getting stronger day by day.”

“However, Zhu Zi also said that it is an evil path and it can’t last for long.”

“What did the Meeting Hall people say?”

“I feel that those nobles are happy. They all feel that the Confucian Faction is nosy…”

“Hey! If it was me I also wouldn’t bother about all that. If we return the power to the Ruler allowing him to kill anyone he wanted, how would we be as free as now?”

“However, it is still an evil path. I heard that all schools in Great Gan have closed. Those people with knowledge definitely wouldn’t be wrong.”

Zong Shou frowned. Currently, Great Gan could be described by one word: terrified!

No wonder Renbo who hated wasting time would make such a huge scene to want him to tour the city.

He thought that Great Gan was ruling over the so-called barbarian land and wouldn’t be affected that much.

Only now did he realize that the influence of the Confucians was far stronger than he had expected.

Fortunately, he had ruled for 10 years and gained the hearts of the people. There were still many in Great Gan who trusted him and didn’t believe what Zhu Zi said.

Schools? Who knows if Linhai College was included?

In the past, before he unified Donglin those people pretty much grasped the discussions of the entire Donglin Cloud Continent.

Now that they were closed, the impact on Great Gan was hard to predict.

However, should he say that those people were asking to die?

Zong Shou gave a cruel laugh and then he frowned.

At this time, if he acted on those scholars he would be falling into Zhu Zi’s trap.

It seemed like the more this dragged on the worse it would be for him.

His plan of using the south to crush Great Shang was like a dream, it was unreasonable.

Great Gan’s foundations were firm.

However, if this storm expanded, it would influence the entire Great Gan. It might even destroy his 10 years of hard work. The hearts of the people would slowly turn against him.

The only plan was to end it quickly…

As long as he crushed Great Shang and the Confucian Faction, then the chaos in the country would naturally be solved.

An endless cold intent gathered in his eyes as killing intent rose up.

At this moment, more discussion noises flashed in his Soul Ocean.

“I have never studied but I can see good and bad. Without Ruler, how will martial artists like us be so rich and important like now?”

“That is true! Apart from the fact that Ruler is perverted, he is actually quite fine…”

“Perverted? How is he perverted? He only has Queen Xuanyuan and a concubine.”

“Speaking of which, is there a problem with Ruler’s brain? He is surrounded by beauties but only has one queen and one concubine. Where is there any Ruler like him?”

“Who knows? Luckily, we have a prince already…”

Zong Shou felt frustration in his heart as he nearly spat out blood.
