Su Man’s eyes flashed for a moment before he laughed, “I am the ruler’s subordinate and the prince’s subordinate. What surrender are you talking about ?”

Suddenly pulling out his knife, a snow bright knife light flashed backward. Tens of heads were tossed into the air and blood spurted.

Zong Shou looked at these few people, only to see that they were mostly Fang Xu’s personal troops. As such he didn’t bother much about them.

Su Man hurriedly walked within the city walls, hollering downwards, “Are you all dead? The prince has returned, and you’re still not opening the gate?”

The 200 armored soldiers beneath were stunned before they hurriedly moved away from the thick and heavy door blockers. Some of them tried to stop when they came back to their senses, but Su Man jumped down and killed them, splitting their head from their bodies.

In just a short moment, the city gate was suddenly opened. In just a few breaths Zong gang led the 2 thousand cavalry into the city.

Although they could still sense Fang Xu’s body on the city wall, he smacked Su Man’s shoulder and called his name. Then he laughed, “what a good purple lightning spear! Even Fang Xu died in your hands. The prince is really smart. He saw correctly .”

Zong Yuan leaped down and expressionlessly looked at Zong Gang, lazy to bother about him. After getting off the horse, he half knelt outside the city gate.

“Subordinate Zong Yuan welcomes prince back to the city! I didn’t let you down and have chopped off Fang Xu’s head!”

Zong Gang turned back and saw that a thousand feet away Zong Shou and Tan Tao were galloping towards the city gates. He immediately waved his hand and the 2 thousand cavalry all got off their horses and all half knelt.

“Welcome the prince back to the city!”

Around that area, there were thousands of east city soldiers who had gathered. Seeing the situation, they were at a loss. They didn’t know whether to charge up to kill or follow them and kneel down.

Just as they hesitated, they saw Zong Gang and Zong Yuan raise their heads, sweeping over with knife-like eyes. “Eh” as they scoffed coldly. The 2 extremely strong martial intents swept ten thousand feet around.

Immediately, 90% of the soldiers couldn’t take it anymore and fell down. The faces of everyone else turned green and white.

Su Man along with the others half kneeled on the ground, and his expression was one of lost.

The 2 thousand cavalry, be it the black fox iron cavalry or the mysterious armor wind dragon cavalry, were the elite of the elites. However, such cavalry was always the spike of the army. If one didn’t have enough strength, then they wouldn’t respect you. However, they were all bowing down, showing no signs of being insubordinate

He also knew about Zong Gang’s personality. He was arrogant and untamed. Only Zong Weiran was able to suppress him. Even if he had loyalty towards the prince, he didn’t need to lower himself. However, he was also looking over respectfully, his eyes burning bright.

As for Zong Yuan, he knew that this person was loyal to Zong Hao and Zong Yang. However, for some reason, he had unexpectedly joined the prince.

A few days ago, in the Ruohai Straits battle, 3 thousand iron cavalry trampled over 400 thousand, Just thinking about it was soul-stirring.

If it was not for just now when he personally witnessed Zong Yuan killing Fang Xu in one spear, he wouldn’t believe that this prince had actually created such terrifying achievements.

Moreover, looking at his expression, he had zero unwillingness. It was totally sincere and loyal. Even before, when he listened, Zong Hao wasn’t as respectful as now.

Zong Shou rose on the grade 4 warhorse that was well equipped, speeding through the gates.

Then, he was surprised by the scene of thousands kneeling down and shouting his welcome.

Astonished for a moment, he barely came back to his senses. A moment later, he felt emotions rush up in his chest.

He thought, no wonder people say the pinnacle of life is when one was drunk and goes to bed with a beautiful woman and wakes upholding power over the land. This kind of power over a huge army really made one feel drunk.

From today on he would be in charge of the entire Gantian Mountain. At that time, he might be able to unify Donglin Cloud Continent and even have a battle with the middle area god emperor.

A while later, he shook his head and laughed.

His own pursuit wasn’t as stable as he had thought. After holding such little power, it was nearly shaken.

He couldn’t help but take in a deep breath and calm himself down.

At this moment or ten thousand years ago, he had once hidden from the world, tossing aside all fame and fortune to hide within a library.

It was just so he could get a quiet place to peacefully analyze sword path to develop his hundred path sword theory. To strengthen his roots and chase the pinnacle of the martial path.

However, now, although he wasn’t Tan Qiu and was the Monster king’s Son, Zong Shou, that pursuit hasn’t changed.

He came back to take the Monster king position just so to complete the last wish of that person.

Holding onto the purple lightning spear by his waist, Zong Shou couldn’t help but smile. He suddenly felt very calm in his heart, like this were his roots!

Many thoughts flashed in his mind, but in just a moment, he came back to his senses. His right hand waved to signal for them to get up before he faced Su Man.

Out of all the people in the eastern city army, only this person was wearing the deputy major general dress. His rank was the highest and strength was too.

In his mind, he was recalling. Although Zong Shou was small when he left, he remembered all the Xuanwu ancestor and above people in the city.

In just a moment he recognized the identity of this person, “You are Su Man? East city deputy major general? How’s the situation in the city?”

Su Man was also an experienced person. After cupping his fists and bowing to Zong Shou, his explanation was really simple, “Young master, Zong Yang, Zong Shi, and the others are in the Chongzhen Hall. They sounded the meeting bell 9 times to summon them for a meeting. However, until now, apart from their personal forces, no one replied. Overlord duke and Left pillar general Qiu are at Zhengan Peak. Although they control 470 thousand troops in the city, 100 thousand more than those rebels, they are afraid to harm the innocent and thus don’t dare to move. The troops of both sides are mostly in a standstill in the city. Oh right, vast country duke Chai Yuan for some reason also didn’t go over. However, the 80 thousand martial cultivators of the wind bear race in the city have all mobilized.”

“Vast country duke Chai Yuan?”

Zong Shou’s eyes squinted and instantly guessed the situation within the city. He looked around and swept around.

“East City army has 5 towns along with supporting troops that’s 60 thousand people. How long do you need to make them all be under me?”

When Su Man heard that, he didn’t understand. Since he returned to the city then why didn’t he meet with Hu Qianqiu and Qiu Wei to head to Chongzhen hall? At that point, he could settle it right away.

Although Zong Shi and the others worked together, they weren’t of one heart. The hundreds of thousands of troops gathered up were being forced to follow. Zong Shou, as the true ruler, only needed the help of subordinates and he would be able to get them over.

Why was he wasting time in this east city?

Was he worrying about the experts sent by that Daoming and Xuansu Sect? But the situation was settled. Were those people really unafraid and try to start something in Gantian Mountain City?

Slightly hesitating, Su Man gave a determined and steely tone,”15 minutes! 4 towns from start to finish has been in my hands. In just 15 minutes, I can control the 2nd and 3rd towns. The other 2 commanders are loyal to Fang Xu, so I need the prince to send someone to handle them.”

Where his eyes gazed over were Zong Gang and Zong Yuan.

Zong Shou didn’t reply, looking at the mountain deep in thought. The Gantian Mountian main peak was 12 thousand feet, and the second peak was Zhengan Peak which was 9700 feet.

At this moment, the Gantian City was totally dark and silent, only these 2 peaks were well lit.

Then, he raised his lips in an indiscernible manner. This situation was several times better than what he expected before.

Looking back to his memory at the place where the wind bear race, especially where Chai Yuan’s race lived, he thought of a method.

In this battle today, he had a higher chance of victory.

…

On the Zhengan mountain peak, Hu Qianqiu was laughing out loud, “As expected from the prince, he didn’t let me down. He actually really broke through Zhenshan Pass. This was actually half a day earlier than I expected! How amazing! The moment he acted, Swift as lightning-like the ruler…”

“Is that person purple lightning spear Zong Yuan?”

Although they were tens of miles away, when Qiu Wei focused and looked, he could still see the situation tens of miles away.

He had personally seen Zong Yuan one-shot Fang Xu’s head with the maniac lightning spear sense.

As expected, that person was truly the rumored unparalleled general seed.

Zhenshan Pass being broken was shocking, but with that person there, anything was possible.

It was really the prince’s blessing to have this person. Who knows what the prince did to make that person loyal to him.

This shock only lasted for a short moment. When he looked out at the people galloping within the city, he saw the prince he hadn’t seen in 3 years. His expression relaxed, “As expected it is the prince! It’s good that he’s back. Those clowns are really asking to die. The important thing now is to send people to protect him as he gathers up with us…”

As he said that, he was slightly startled. The ten thousand strong strong armies that followed Zong Shou, unexpectedly, didn’t move towards the city. Instead, they split up and moved into the few town camps of the east city army.

What was that for?

Qiu Wei found it weird. Since he returned to the city, he should gather with people of his side to settle the Monster king position.

With the position, Zong Shi and the others wouldn’t be able to cause any more waves.

Like Zong Yuan, a sneak attacking and killing Fang Xu was just a special exception.

With the enemy being prepared, those generals will be really wary and be heavily protected. Moreover, Zong Shi also had several experts under him.

At that moment, even if they could control the 50 thousand east city army, it was useless. Even if they had even more numbers, it was useless, and it would instead give the enemy more time to react. It was an unwise decision.

Just as he didn’t understand and was frowning, he saw Hu Qianqiu smile, “Those few fellows finally ran out! I knew they couldn’t sit still.”

Qiu Wei followed Hu Qianqiu’s gaze. As expected, he saw Zong Shi and the others at the edge of the peak looking down.

The night was dark but they could still see the ugly expressions of those people.
