The few people beside the old man dressed in a brocade robe had rage in their eyes, staring death at Zong Shou.

A forty-something man stepped out and looked coldly at Zong Shou. “Although the Prince has a honorable background,this is too impolite, don’t you know how to respect your elders?”

Zong Shou smiled, not paying much attention, ignoring what he said and coming off the carriage slowly, looking expressionlessly at the robed old man.

Xu Zhengyuan himself appeared slightly awkward, opening his mouth to stop them, “Liancheng, keep quiet! The Prince is the Prince of Gantian Mountain, he isn’t impolite!”

He looked towards Zong Shou and said respectfully, “Please forgive me, Prince, I have been out this half a month, unable to free myself. Only today am I able to rush over and meet you. Are you leaving already? Why not stay a few more days in Cloud Saint City?”

Chuxue sitting at the front couldn’t help but pout, thinking about how much of a hypocrite this person was. He was obviously chasing him away, but he still wanted to act like he was trying to keep him there.

She couldn’t help but wave the horse whip, On this wide road, the sound was sudden and really ear-piercing. The Cloud Stepping Foals pranced uneasily.

It was like Zong Shou didn’t see anything, his eyes didn’t blink. “Thank you, City Lord. Although Cloud Saint City is good, it still isn’t home. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, I can’t truly be at ease when I stay there, which was why I want to return.”

When Xu Zhengyuan heard that he nodded slightly, “Prince Zong Shou’s words make sense, so I won’t try to keep you. I brought some small gifts so I hope you will accept them. In the future when you see Mr Lei Dong, please send him my apologies. I have other problems and I was simply too helpless. In this half a month, if there was anything I didn’t do enough, please forgive me…”

No wonder this person ran out of the city to meet him, he wanted him to tell Lei Dong about all this.

His eyes shifting over to the hands of those few servants. They were carrying a few wooden boxes; a few hundred Grade Three beast crystals, three talisman weapons. Apart from that, there were actually two bottles sealing spiritual Protector Spirit Beasts.

The bottle was tightly closed, but from the energy given out it should be a spiritual beast around Grade Two.

To say that it was a small gift was obvious, but to say that it was a generous gift was far from it.

Silently shaking his head, Zong Shou didn’t feel any dissatisfaction. Although he didn’t know if the man was sincere, but since he could bring these items over and personally give them to him, it obviously showed his kind intentions.

If he wanted to blame, he could only blame himself. His reputation as a piece of trash was simply too widespread.

In the next moment, Zong Shou’s eyes focused on the old man’s left hand. His brows raised slightly. “City Lord, your left hand is like that because you were hurt by sword intent? Why didn’t you invite people to remove it?”

As Yin Yang mentioned, this Cloud Saint City City Lord was hurt some time ago, and even now it hadn’t healed. Most probably it was this area. The blood and flesh at that area had dried up, and it was obvious that someone forcefully cut off all the vital energy and Essence energy there.

The expression of Liancheng changed once more, his face sinking slightly. The other servants appeared to be furious. This teen was simply unafraid to say anything; no wonder he landed in such a situation!

Xu Zhengyuan had accepted his fate long ago, although he was a little unhappy. He patiently explained, “The prince has good senses; my left arm is indeed a result of sword intent. It was because I was too rash and bold in the past, which resulted in such a disaster. I have invited people to aid me, but as he was an Ascended Ancestor the sword intent was a little weird. Even Mr Lei Dong couldn’t remove it, so I could only leave it like this…”

Zong Shou frowned slightly; the sword intent left in his body was indeed a little special. But in the future he had seen similar martial intents, so this was not a difficult problem.

Spiritual energy weakened in the future, but the martial path that developed to its peak during the God Emperor era had mostly been conserved. Most of the secret sects and aristocratic Family legacies spread to the common people were how he benefited.

Thinking carefully for a moment, he smiled, “This half a month City Lord has helped me slightly. I don’t like to owe people favors, so today I’ll help you get rid of the sword intent, clearing it between us…”

Xu Zhengyuan was startled, and then felt amused. Even an Ascended Ancestor couldn’t do anything about his injuries, a thirteen-year old kid who couldn’t even cultivate actually said something as pompous as helping him get rid of the sword intent plaguing him?

The few servants beside were the same. They had looked at Zong Shou with fury, but now they looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot. Maybe this person wasn’t truly rude, but he was just a joke of a person?

That Liancheng sighed, “Prince, even Mr Lei Dong said that unless a spiritual Grandmaster acted, there was no chance of solving it. Prince, ask yourself if you can best Mr Lei Dong? Your good grace is something my master appreciates.”

The meaning of his words were to tell him not to waste his effort.

Zong Shou scoffed when he heard that, was it so complicated to remove that sword intent? If one didn’t know how, naturally it was difficult, but if one knew the theory behind it, to removing it was easy. Even now he could still barely do it.

He was too lazy to explain to that person, walking towards Xu Zhengyuan.

Liancheng was shocked, immediately stepping forwards to block Zong Shou, only to see Zong Shou’s right hand pointing out, numerous illusions appearing in front of his eyes.

In his mind he felt an indiscernible but extremely strong sword stabbing over through the sky! It gave him the feeling of having no place to dodge and no way to avoid it.

His eyes contracted as his body shifted right, instinctively pressing down on the blade at his waist. But before he could pull it out, purple lightning flashed and a finger stabbed out from the heavy illusions and hit his right shoulder.

His body instantly twent soft and he could muster up no more energy, falling paralyzed to the ground.

His heart was filled with utmost fear, his mind totally blank. To be the butler of the Cloud Saint City City Lord, his ability was above Xiantian, someone who had opened the second meridian of the Earth Chakra level.

But at this moment he couldn’t even block one finger from this teen. It was less than a breath from when he walked forwards to stop him, and him being suppressed.

Was this Gantian Mountain Prince truly a piece of trash who hadn’t opened a meridian? Was he a fake who wanted to harm his master?

Numerous thoughts flooded into his brain. He tried his best to struggle, the energy in his body disappearing bit by bit.

Xu Zhengyuan was also shocked, his eyes looking warily at the half-monster teen.

Without any hesitation, Xu Zhengyuan took a step forwards, a powerful underlying strength burst forth around him, like a lion awakening. His shoulders hung low, coldly looking down on Zong Shou. The aura was thick and heavy while also being cold and solemn, like it was about to explode out and tear Zong Shou into shreds.

In the next moment, Xu Zhengyuan felt a strong intent exploding out from Zong Shou’s body. It was several times stronger than before.

Several illusions broke out from the body of the half-monster teen, and he was unable to see where the true body was at. Bundles of mist gathered around him, making it tough for him to see.

The faces of the Mythic Master servants around him turned ashen white under the suppression of the intent, unable to come close at all.

“Cloud Shocking God Destroying sword intent!”

Xu Zhengyuan’s eyes contracted. Just as he was about to go all out to take down this weird half-monster teen, he heard a light keng. Zong Shou had his sword in hand, a shiny Lightning Tooth sword shone with electricity as it pointed over.

A sword intent like lightning and mist changed to become utterly sharp, like it could break everything in the world, stabbing right into his soul.

His entire body felt that it was filled with fatal weak spots. The sword intent that was hiding in his body for so long seemed to resonate together with it, suddenly charging out from various parts of him. The meridians in his body were blocked up, and his energy went out of his control.

He was unable to move. The energy gathered around him was being crushed and destroyed.

Only Xu Zhengyuan’s eyes could move, staring at the expressionlessly advancing Zong Shou, his eyes were filled with disbelief, his chest with shock.

If it wasn’t that he knew that the person ahead of him was only thirteen and wasn’t a disguise, he might think that the martial path intent left in his body was left by him!

This boy was able to control the sword intent within his body from a dozen paces away. Why did this teen come here? Did he really have bad intentions and want to kill him? Was he really the Gantian Mountain Prince Zong Shou? The dual meridian trash spread in stories?

If he wasn’t Zong Shou, then why? If this person wanted to kill him, it was easy as turning his fist! Why did he have to devise such a situation to lead him out? If he was really Zong Shou, then why did he have to hide so deep?

How was this person trash? In a few breaths he had controlled Liancheng so strictly that he couldn’t move. In this world, where was there such a trash?

It was obvious that he had a lot of skill that he hid deeply!

Zong Shou just needed to see his expression and roughly knew what he was thinking. He didn’t want to bother much with him, expressionlessly shaking his head, “I was presumptuous, please forgive me!”

Placing his hand on Xu Zhengyuan’s meridians, he injected a thread of energy. After a short while Zong Shou laughed, “As expected, it is the Meridian Yin Yang Method and the Withering Sword energy. I am not talented and can barely solve it!” Not caring if Xu Zhengyuan agreed or not, he stabbed a few golden needles in.

Just as Xu Zhengyuan felt the meridians in his body going crazy and was unable to release them, thinking that he was about to die. Zong Shou used his Lightning Tooth sword to cut his left arm; fresh blood spurted out and splash a hundred feet away.

Within the blood were encapsulated threads of sharp energy, which pierced numerous holes in the grassland.
