The 3rd matter was Kongyao. She had been locked up for close to a month, and surprisingly, the central dynasty didn’t do anything.

On the other hand, her subject known as Li Zhile had successively tried to find out where she was locked up at.

The last matter was the eight tail sky fox Xue family. After being quiet for close to 2 years, the sky fox emperor race in the past seem to be making move once more.

Ruoshui’s hidden guards recently investigated the Xue family people. They were slowly increasing. There was a portion of people who made their way into Gantian Mountain City.

However, to avoid alerting them and missing out on the big fish behind. This was why they didn’t wipe out these people.

“This Xue family doesn’t want to give up…”

Zong Shou laughed coldly. Think about it carefully, the enemy is in the dark, so he didn’t have many methods that he could use to deal with them.

He could only wait and see what kind of tricks the sky fox Xue family was playing.

All he could do was to add a few more trump cards to his hand.

He remained in Gantian Mountain for half a day before Zong Shou left. He traveled east, driving the spiritual artifact, using 2 days to arrive in the cloud ocean in the east.

When he came here, he temporarily abandoned Zong Yuan and the few others to head south. Half a day later, he saw that the distant horizon was covered in lightning and storms.

However, when he stepped into the storm, Zong Shou hesitated, looking out into the distance.

This was the Oblivion Cloud Ocean. Once one entered it, one would remain her forever.

Zong Shou was not afraid of it. What made him nervous was that person who was trapped within.

Hesitating slightly, Zong Shou continued to move forward. However, this time, he used the identity of Tanqiu.

Walking in like it was his backyard as he traveled freely within the storm.

When he was close to the outer area of the oblivion cloud ocean, a warning sign rose within Zong Shou’s heart.

He stood still, looking out into the south. Then, in just an instant, a middle-aged man appeared in front of him.

“This place is the oblivion cloud ocean, my Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect is in charge here. Random people can leave…”

He was wearing the uniform of the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect, and his aura was hidden within. He was a grade 8 grandmaster, and he looked around 40 with a squarish face.

Not waiting for Zong Shou to speak, he waved his sleeves. A vast wind swept over to try to wrap up Zong Shou and toss him out.

Zong Shou’s brows rose. After scoffing coldly, he stood rooted to the spot. He didn’t strike a pose and a sword intent rose.

It caused that wind to smash into pieces before it even got close.

That middle aged grandmaster was startled. In the next instance, he felt a strong martial path intent bear down on him!

The intent locked down on him, making him feel like he was standing within a vast and endless ocean. One raging wave was enough to smash him into bits.

He instinctively tried to struggle. Only after a moment later did he manage to break free from this sword intent lock. His pupils instantly constricting, a look of wariness appearing on his face.

“Extreme sword sense, who are you?”

The person in front of him only had a grade 7 aura and walked the spiritual cultivation path. However, his sword sense was at its peak, heavily suppressing him by several grades!

In an instance, the middle aged martial grandmaster thought about one person. Only then, he didn’t dare to confirm. Recently, his name rose and shocked the cloud world. If it was him, even a grade 8 like him wasn’t his opponent.

“Common people Tanqiu!”

Such a calm sentence proved what the middle aged man had thought. Zong Shou smiled as he looked at the depths of the oblivion cloud ocean.

“Your Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect are doing things here?”

His tone was filled with disdain. That middle aged martial grandmaster first thought to himself that it was him, becoming more and more wary.

He felt furious and also felt a little helpless. Towards such a giant thing like the common people path, their mysterious cloud spirit sect was nothing. The 3 sects and 6 schools of the common people path were all one group, working all together. The Taoists, however, were split into 3 branches, they were said to be one line but instead, they were split up. Apart from the highest line who could fight against them, the rest were much weaker.

The wariness in his heart became much thicker. If this kid was on orders from the common people path, then he had to defend against him.

“So it is the sword emperor Tanqiu of rumors, sorry for being impolite! I am Mysterious cloud spirit sect Tiexuan, greetings fire seat. Our sect indeed has matters here. And it is not only my sect…”

Before this person said those words, a laugh spread out from afar, “Daoming Sect Zhuming greets first seat Tan!”

Along with those words being said, a person suddenly stepped out from the cloud mist. His strength was better than that of Tiexuan, reaching that of grade 9. The moment he appeared a vast pressure went up against Zong Shou.

In his achievements in sword sense, this person was still weaker than that of Zong Shou. However, merging with the strong true qi of grade 9, he could easily suppress Zong Shou.

At this moment, in the distance, it was not only this Tiexuan and Zhuming, but there were ten over auras rising, filled with threatening intent.

Seeing Zong Shou frown, Zhuming was delighted, “Why did first seat Tan come here? If it isn’t an important matter, then please return. There are 7 sects gathered here. First seat, please consider it seriously…”

Zong Shou didn’t care if what he said was true or not, quietly sweeping around. A moment later he asked, “All of you gathered here to try to search for that book of eon extreme life on Zong Weiran?”

Zhuming’s face froze up and then he smiled, “Book of eon extreme life? Does the common people path also believe that? Today the 10 shrines all do not react. Not hiding from first seat, we all are here in fact because we have the thought to try it out. However, the main reason is because of Zong Weiran. When this person escaped, he killed hundreds of my Daoming Sect and Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect disciples. We have a deep hatred which is why my Daoming Sect has to kill this person! It is why I need the first seat to forgive me. We don’t dare to give him a chance to escape!”

Although the words were said like that and this Zhuming’s eyes were really sincere, Zong Shou laughed coldly. If it was really for revenge, why did the 7 sects need to fight and scheme against one another whilst they lock down the oblivion cloud ocean?

Just now, if he didn’t say out his identity, Zhuming wouldn’t have came out until Tiexuan died.

The people around were also the same. Whilst they joined hands to fight him, they each took up a side and didn’t gather over.

Within the oblivion cloud ocean, there were many beasts, often gathering up into groups. If one was alone, the dangers would increase by several times. Even a grade 8 expert might fall if he was not careful.

However, these people would rather separate than stick together.

Even without the book of eon extreme life, they knew that Zong Weiran had some special treasure in his hand.

It must also be in the recent period of time if not Zong Gang and those thousand black fox iron cavalry wouldn’t have lived.

He also didn’t know why when Zhuming mentioned how they had a huge hatred and debt to claim from Zong Weiran that he felt his heart pain, killing intent rising. Like he couldn’t take it and wanted to kill Zhuming and the ten over experts within the clouds, smashing their corpses into many pieces.

He also felt anxious, that he wanted to save that person who was within the cloud ocean!

His face was still life before, cold and calm. He took in a few deep breaths before managing to suppress the maniacal killing intent, causing his heart to temporarily regain clarity.

Thinking about it for a moment, he knew that the strength of the sects here was not just what he saw. There should be more than one grade 9 people like Zhuming.

Staying here, he didn’t dare to ensure that the killing intent which was building up in his chest wouldn’t explode out.

He also wasn’t willing to stay here for long, coldly looking at Zhuming. He scoffed before turning around back to his original path.

He went north ten thousand miles before he stopped, entering deep thought.

It was really rare for him to lose control like just now.

That urge nearly made him pull his sword out to attack.

It should be the instinct that came from that of the original Zong Shou.

However, the problem was that after 2 years, the body had connected with him. Zong Shou’s soul was already totally swallowed by him! Even if there were any remnants when his black and white hole dharma formed it should have been removed. How would there still be any instinct?

However, the killing intent from before obviously came from the depths of his soul.

“What was happening within?”

Zong Shou thought back to the words that the Zong Shou said before he disappeared.

He felt terrified, filled with disbelief.

When he came to the oblivion cloud ocean he predicted that the sects would stop him and it wouldn’t be so smooth. It was why he was just testing it out.

Who knew that the outcome would be as such.

Not only having killing intent rise due to Zong Weiran. When he got close to the cloud ocean that father of his, not only didn’t make him feel nervous, instead he felt closeness.

This place was not far away from where Zong Yuan and the others waited. Just as Zong Shou entered deep thought,

Zong Yuan and Ruoshui as well as Chuxue who was lying on the back of the dark chill tiger, deep in sleep, they all rushed over.

“Ruler, how is the situation there?”

The moment Zong Yuan reached he asked. His expression was calm. He was loyal to Zong Shou and didn’t care about the life and death of Zong Weiran.

On the contrary, Ruoshui’s eyes were filled with questioning intent.

“My bloodline sensed it, Father king is still alive! However, to save him it wouldn’t be easy…”

Those 2 words made Ruoshui delighted. However, Zong Shou’s brows were still furrowed tightly, “Let people investigate what changes occurred in Yin Dragon Canyon recently!”

Ruoshui’s eyes froze up as she took out several golden talismans. In an instant, they were sent out, flying to the west.

Zong Shou stopped in his tracks for a moment before he continued east on his artifact.

This time the trip to the oblivion cloud ocean made his decision to go east more solid.

Zong Weiran’s matter was really weird and indiscernible. He wasn’t sure he could handle it. Adding some strength wouldn’t be the wrong decision.

With wings formed, there were some things and some people that he had the power to control and grasp.
