Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

In Xuan Mountain City, within a quiet room in someplace, 2 lamps flickered. It was as if it could feel the cold and solemn air in the area. The flame constantly shriveled up, pretty much on the verge of being extinguished.

Li Sina sat on a soft mattress, her face dark and sunken, filled with sharpness.

In front of her knelt a person who was Li Yunniang, kneeling on the ground with her face white as paper.

“My Son in law, what happened to him. Why don’t you dare say anything till now? You’ve been following the little miss, so it shouldn’t be possible that you don’t know anything. If you don’t want to answer me today, then there’s no need to say anything anymore.”

Li Yunniang bit her lips and drips of blood seeped down. After a short while, seeing the glow from Li Yunniang’s eyes become more and sharper, she hesitated before speaking, “I really don’t know. I only know that someone set up a deal on me and also warned me in secret that if I dare reveal anything about the prince to anyone that he would wipe out my family. Even that spirit house Sect will be wiped out. I don’t know if it is true or false but I guess that the person should at least be above the ascended realm.”

Li Sina was startled, revealing a serious expression. Then, she laughed coldly, “If that really is the case then I don’t blame you on this matter. But why did you have to fake my illness after returning to the city to think of ways to threaten me not to let Zong Shou enter the city?”

Li Yunniang’s expression seemed to relax as she exhaled, “Miss, I did so for little miss. The prince’s sword art is one with the spirit. He is a dual cultivator which is rare in the world. But the problems of the mysterious moon wood brilliance method can only be solved by the ancient pill from the mysterious cloud spirit Sect which was why I…”

As she said that, Li Yunniang snuck glances at Li Sina’s expression. Seeing her eyes slowly become gentler, her tone became more and more relaxed. Who knew that before she finished, Li Sina waved her hand fiercely and landed a heavy slap on her face without a sign.

With a loud smack, Li Yunniang was sent flying tens of feet back, covering her face as she looked at the soft mattress in shock. There was a loss in her eyes which sprouted from her lack of understanding of why her miss would slap her for no reason.

“You really think I am a person that doesn’t know anything?”

Li Sina scoffed coldly, the sharpness in her eyes looked like it could turn real, “For Yiren! You actually dare to say these words. What only the ancient pill from the mysterious cloud spirit Sect can solve the problem and save her life. Those words might work on others but don’t use it to bluff me.”

As she said that, Li Sina had already stood up, coldly walking in front of her, “Even if I am still angry with him today, I know that with his talent if he wants to enter a Sect, even those few vast territories and heavenly places would see him as treasure. Even if they have him in their hands, they would be afraid he would melt. One small mysterious cloud spirit Sect, one Han Nishui, who cares? In the future, once Zong Shou breaks through to the ascended realm if he is willing, one finger and he could smash him. Would he worry about not finding that pill? Be it asking an elder to act to perfect the technique or find other materials to refine a pill, those were simply done to protect Yiren. Do you need to worry about my daughter’s life?”

Li Yunniang’s face couldn’t help but turn ashen white with no sign of blood on it. She opened her mouth to speak but she didn’t know what to say.

On the contrary, Li Sina seemed to not be angry anymore, expressionlessly asking,”

Did I hear that in the past you had some relationship with a disciple of the mysterious cloud spirit Sect? If Yiren married in, you would benefit, right? Oh right, that person seemed to be called Long something, what a dumb name. However, he seemed to have gone missing for a long time, who knows he might have died in the hands of my Son in law…”

Li Yunniang’s body instantly shuddered like it was struck by lightning, losing her senses, her eyes filled with disbelief and vengeance.

Li Sina was lazy to hear her explain, “the prince is a righteous and proper person…”

As she said that Li Sina felt that she herself didn’t make sense. Like Zong Shou, a person like him had nothing to do with what she said. After coughing slightly she continued, “Although he hadn’t mentioned a word about you to Yiren and us, I can imagine what you did. Since Yiren is going to marry him, I don’t need you anymore. You won’t be able to help Yiren and him clear out problems. You have served my family for 10 years and I care about old bonds. I won’t kill you. Have you heard of the yellow fountain prisoner valley? I will send you there, 20 years later I’ll naturally send someone to bring you back.”

Li Yunniang’s gaze was originally filled with the loss but when she heard about the yellow fountain prisoner valley, she revealed a strong and intense look of fear. She suddenly sat up, just as she wanted to plead for herself, several iron chains flew in, wrapping up her limbs and dragging her outside.

And just as the room totally quieter down, a curtain by the side opened. Xuanyuan Tong walked out from inside deep in thought.

“Husband, do you think what Li Yunniang said is true?”

Li Sina’s eyes showed a questioning color, “Does Zong Shou have some ascended ancestor beside him? When I observed her body I didn’t notice anything wrong.”

“It shouldn’t be fake!”

Xuanyuan Tong sighed, “2 days ago, 2 thousand miles away from the city, that Fang Shu disappeared for no reason. He didn’t even give off a sign or sound.”

Li Sina was astonished, following which she frowned, “Then how do you know?”

“Naturally I sent some people to kill that Fang Shu. In the end, they didn’t manage to find him. My men went to search thousand of miles of territory but didn’t get anything. They also didn’t see him return back to Pill Fountain Sect to report…”

Seeing Li Sina frowning slightly, revealing disagreement, Xuanyuan tong couldn’t help but smile, “Just joking, I was planning to lock him up for a period of time and release him when the dust settles. But if he really made me anxious, even if he comes from the same sect as Yiren, I would kill him first. Lady, your Sect could be considered one of the big sects of that time, and you should know how important being able to combine spirit and martial arts.”

The last few sentences were said with coldness and killing intent.

On the other hand, Li Sina was startled, “I only know that the experts in the ancient time were all dual cultivators. They were all people who could mesh the martial path and spiritual spells. However, a portion of them could reach Zong Shou’s level after they reached the Saint realm. To be like Zong Shou was unprecedented. Who knows if it is a blessing or a curse for him. All the sects fighting over him might not be a blessing…”

“Weiran’s child is naturally really talented. He is my Son in law and naturally, I will go all out to protect him.”

Xuanyuan Tong smiled slightly. Then he heard Li Sina ask with doubt, “What I find weird is that if that mysterious ascended expert really interested in Zong Shou, then why didn’t he take him in? If Zong Shou returns to Gantian Mountain and inherits the throne, he would definitely begin a road of slaughter. His skills would definitely be revealed. And also a few days ago when they rushed into the city was he really going to appear there? How would he be able to hide it?”

“Not accepting him into the sect might be due to be afraid or having other worries. At least the situation a few days ago was because Zong Shou hadn’t shown his hand in front of everyone. How would you know that after the matter they wouldn’t have ways to cover it up?”

Xuanyuan Tong shook his head, “If it was me I wouldn’t be willing to let too many people know about his talented and unparalleled dual cultivator. Wouldn’t there be more who are fighting for him? It is good if they are from the proper sects, what I would worry about are the demon sects. They wouldn’t care even if they had to slay millions of souls of Xuan Mountain City. This would only be a slight distraction and they wouldn’t care about it.”

As he said that, the seriousness and coldness on his face became thicker, “What I’m worried about most now is that Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountain. Tan Tao, that bastard really took matters into his own hands and actually did such a thing, what a problem. These few years I was badly injured and didn’t deal with things, did you all really think I was dead?”

As he said that, Li Sina was filled with guilt and awkwardness. That day when Tan Tao suggested, although she didn’t agree with him, she didn’t stop him either.

Thinking back to the 2 demon race powers, they were a big problem. There was also that Haitao cloud city. Gantian Mountain’s Zong Shi and Zong Yang definitely wouldn’t sit still and do nothing. It was okay if Zong Shou didn’t go back, but if he did. he would be walking into a trap.

Of course, no one knew that this seemingly afraid rabbit actually not only knew how to bite but was also a fierce beast that was hiding things deeply.

However, no matter how strong he was just a night wandering spirit master. Compared to these 2 large entities, he was just a kid that hadn’t matured.

She didn’t care about it before but now she was worried.

“Since the kid has an ascended ancestor beside him, he should be fine. However, we can’t place his safety in the hands of outsiders. He needs some people he can trust there.”

Xuanyuan Tong frowned, “I’m ready to lend him half of my mysterious armor wind dragon cavalry to protect him towards Gantian Mountain. Also although Zong Shou didn’t mention that day I have to give him an explanation! You were the mastermind of that and haven’t been punished. You are my wife and I can’t punish you, but you will be on house arrest for 3 years and can’t go out! Once my old Brother escapes I will bring you to seek forgiveness! Although Luo Xian is loyal, he is rash. He will be whipped a hundred times, done by Junhou and also on house arrest for 3 years to let him train his temperament! As for Tan Tao…”

As he said that Xuanyuan Tong suddenly paused and entered deep thought. After a short while, he solemnly opened his mouth, “Remove him from his position as commander and give him 200 strokes. If he doesn’t die, then follow Zong Shou to Gantian Mountain. My Son in law lacks a right-wing!”

When Li Sina heard the mysterious armor wind dragon cavalry she was shocked. This was the strongest and most elite army in the city.

There was less than 2 thousand but they had the great achievement of slaying 100 thousand before. Tan Tao who was seen as the brains was actually given to him just like that too.

When she heard the back few sentences, she felt extremely wronged but didn’t dare to retort.

She calmed down, “I’ll take the punishment! I only want to ask you if you are really going all out into this storm?”

Xuanyuan tong instantly laughed out loud, his eyes filled with determination, “someone had asked me to work together for the Ying dragon valley, but I didn’t agree as I was worried about Zong Shou’s safety. Now I don’t have any worry. Weiran has done a lot for me, and even if I die, I won’t look on to see his Gantian Mountain fall into the hands of others!”
