Jing Tao was paying attention and saw 300 colorful glowing lights charge into that canyon.

Everywhere they passed, the air burnt up. The ground below also turned into charred soil.

The energy destroying crossbow could ignite grade 6 beast crystals of any element, cause their essence energy within to explode, turning it into an extremely compressed and pure spiritual energy to strikeout.

The element of this spiritual energy was naturally different. Without an exception, they all had destructive powers within.

Each shot was similar to the strength of grade 6 beasts exploding their bodies! Even grade 7 beasts who were hit would be badly injured.

In an instance, it cleared out half of the beasts at the entrance of the valley. Although the remaining didn’t instantly die under the attacks of this energy destroying crossbow, their blood-red eyes regained clarity and showed fear. They shockingly looked at the giant ships in the air.

Only then did they awaken and realize that the wood made ships in front of them weren’t their prey.

Following which in less than 20 breaths of time, the 2nd lightwave followed closely behind.

300 balls with destructive energy surged towards the canyon. A moment later the ten-mile entrance was silent.

The ground was filled with beast corpses. No beast could remain alive. All evil spirits didn’t have a chance to get close before they were smashed into pieces by these energy destroying crossbows.

Jing Tao’s tensed up mind relaxed. Although he knew that this was just the start of the beast wave and those grade 7 beasts hadn’t appeared, but he wasn’t that worried anymore. As long as these 800 energy destroying crossbows continued firing, defending this canyon wasn’t a problem.

Naturally, he stopped caring anymore, waving with his hand and a strength obtained the heaven and earth-bag from that corpse.

Using his spiritual sense to look into it, following which he was filled with disappointment as he tossed it towards Zong Shou, “There are so little items within. It seems like this senior expected to die.”

Zong Shou took it, only to see that this true heaven and earth-bag was ten thousand feet Long, ten thousand feet tall. Several times larger than his small heaven and earth-bag.

However, as what Jing Tao said, it was empty. Apart from some nearly used up medical bottles, talismans, and some medicinal ingredients there wasn’t anything else.

It was apparent that this person knew that he didn’t have much hope of surviving. Which was why he searched for another place to store his items or he directly gave them to family or disciples to keep.

The most valuable thing was the 2 spiritual artifacts within. The grade, as compared to the expert who had already stepped through the celestial gates, wasn’t high, only grade 7.

Zong Shou used his spiritual sense to take a look and confirmed that there weren’t any valuable, able to help raise cultivation realm pills within those bottles. He then spoke, “The bag is mine, we will split the 2 grade 7 spiritual artifacts. As for the pills and talismans your sect can take it all. Is that okay with Zhenren?”

That Jing Tao Zhenren nodded his head. In his heart, he was more concerned about the heaven and earth-bag. This item was above grade 9 and made with leather, blood, and bones of a beast with space ability. Even Lingyun Sect only had 6 of them.

However, he couldn’t be the one taking up large amounts of rewards. To have a grade 7 spiritual artifact could be said to make up for his losses from before.

Thinking about it for a moment, Jing Tao smiled, “Then your highness can leave that black wind sword for me…”

The corner of Zong Shou’s lips twitched, thinking that this old man was sharp and smart. Out of the 2, the more valuable one was this black wind sword.

Without hesitating he tossed the green spiritual sword and all the pills and talisman towards Jing Tao.

Following which he took out a peptachord from within and passed it to Xuan Yunlan. The latter was startled and recognized that it was grade 7 to. At the corner of it carved the words dragon string zither. It used the tendons of a flood dragon to make the strings. Just a light strum and it would be able to produce a clear and light tune, it’s musical quality was great.

He didn’t expect that Zong Shou would casually gift this grade 7 spiritual artifact to her.

Although she came from the Qingyin School, as a direct disciple, due to the sect rules, she was given freedom to grow. Apart from spiritual artifacts and pills allocated every year, they needed to survive on their own. It was not easy to get a grade 7 spiritual artifact. To find a zither that was suitable for her was even more difficult.

Her eyes were slightly struggling, she still didn’t reject the item, bowing politely, “Thank you, ruler! Xuan Yunlan doesn’t know how to thank you. After the 3-month agreement is over I will play the soul calming spiritual tune for you for a year!”

Zong Shou smiled, he had cheated her of another year. Giving her this zither was so worth it.

He had gained a lot this time, grade 7 spiritual artifacts could be obtained by him anytime. He didn’t hold this dragon string zither in any regard. Instead, the year of soul calming spiritual tune could cause his world shocking spiritual art and spiritual cultivation to reach a higher level.

Jing Tao Zhenren used his small heaven and earth-bag to keep roughly 20% of grade 7 beast corpses here. Then he just stood aside and watched quietly, not doing anything more.

He looked on as Zong Shou slowly kept those huge grade 7 beast corpses into his bag space.

He was filled with a few doubts. Didn’t this Zong Shou not have soul power? How could he activate the heaven and earth-bag?

However, such spiritual weapons naturally didn’t need the user to have much spiritual energy. He looked towards the flashing lightning around him.

Was it because of that unknown treasure?

That wasn’t strange. A Monster king is really rich so how could he not have any defensive measures at all?

He didn’t pay too much attention as he walked into the spirit master formation to be prepared to help Ling Fakong out.

In the next instant, his face changed. In the gaps of the shots of the energy destroying crossbow, he could hear some voices from outside the canyon.

They seemed to be scolding Zong Shou whilst also having some painful screams.

He couldn’t help but be dumbfounded, was what Zong Shou said true? Was he hearing things?

Just as he was lost, Zhao Yanran jumped into the air. Causally moving to Zong Shou who was collecting those grade 7 corpses and said casually, “I heard the voices from outside…”

Zong Shou blinked his eyes and acted like he didn’t understand, “What does Yanran fairy mean? What did you hear?”

Zhao Yanran tolled her eyes coldly. In this life, she had never seen such a scheming person.

For that Taoyun, Blazing Flame and Yunxia City to make this person angry, it was the accumulation of 8 lives of bad luck.

“I saw the tracks that you ordered Gu Liekong to leave…”

Zong Shou laughed involuntarily, deciding to shut her mouth, “30 grade 7 beast crystals. if you don’t want it then forget it!”

Zhao Yanran’s brows raised before she laughed, “If this matter spreads ou,t you might not fear but it would be a big problem. If that Jing Tao understands what is happening, he definitely won’t let things happen as you wish…”

Zong Shou didn’t reply, but a thought rigged at the blood-colored spot in his soul ocean.

Zhao Yanran’s body trembled, her four limbs turning soft and weak, her lower body also spread out a itchy and shuddering feeling.

She couldn’t help but close her legs. However, she couldn’t suppress that feeling, causing her pants to feel a little wet. Her pretty face also started to flush red.

However, her eyes were filled with fear.

No wonder she had some feeling before, Zong Shou had already bound with that energy seed.

And it seems like the things she did to the seed was found out by Zong Shou. In a short few days, he found a way to counter it.

Zong Shou laughed out loud, walking beside the corpse of that celestial path expert. Xuanyuan Yiren was carefully keeping corpse harboring pinnacle sword grass. As compared to Jing Tao, she was more careful and focused, not having any spare effort to bother about him.

Zong Shou didn’t mind, grabbing with his hand and lightning glow flashed. The fragments of the Phoenix pattern sword were all sucked into his hand.

Looking at the pieces of this magical artifact, he was deep in thought.

In the next instant, he felt the tip of his nose itch, sneezing out several times. He was furious deep down. Who was cursing me? How immoral!

…

At the entry of the canyon, Xiong Ba was scolding out, “Zong Shou! f*** you! f*** your ancestors! You dare to scheme against me…”

Not only him, everyone else was furious and filled with hate. However, they didn’t directly scold like Xiong Ba.

Feng Nu’s arms and neck had green veins popping out. If at this time he still didn’t realize he had fallen for Zong Shou’s plot, then he was a whole new kind of stupid.

At this moment the thousands of cloud ships had barely moved to the sides. However, under the impact of this beast flood, they were unable to form up.

Under the suppression of the beast flood, they were forced deeper into the canyon.

What was worse were that many balls of light were shooting out from within.

Hundreds of vast spiritual energy strikes directly crossed 20 odd miles and their energy still hadn’t run out.

Feng Nu’s heart was pretty much dripping blood.

“Energy destroying crossbow! Energy destroying crossbows that use 1 grade 6 crystal each shot!”

That Yue Guanyun was dumbfounded, out of the 4 thousand cloud ships, 40% were from Taoyun City. They also suffered the most out of the 3 sides.

Thinking about that teen who he had met on Psychic Island, Yue Guanyun gritted his teeth in hatred.

“There are 800 of them! That Zong Shou was well prepared to cause all our ships to be destroyed here!”

Turning from hunter to hunter, such a feeling nearly made Yue Guanyun lose his mind. Especially since not long ago, he was feeling gleeful.
