Chapter 961: Cloud World Taoist Faction?

“Lu Zhi are you fleeing?”

A furious shout came from the side, causing the stick-wielding God Demon’s face to turn purple. Only then did he realize that just now he had fallen for Zong Shou’s Illusionary Technique.

It was because he really believed that his two partners would abandon him and flee, Zong Shou managed to control his mind and he was the only one out of the three who faced such an illusion.

As a Shadow Demon who had lived for thousands of years in this world, he was often the one who used his illusions to confuse others.

He never expected that there would be a day when his own soul was controlled by someone from another race.

All of a sudden, his heart was filled with fear.

This was the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox Bloodline? The descendants of the Sky Fox were actually so strong at Illusionary Techniques?

Moreover, the Illusionary Heart Mirror was able to negate and break through all the spells and abilities of their race!

With this person and this mirror alive, they could definitely cause the fall of his race.

He was even able to suppress 5 Formless God Demons who were Celestial Realm. Then, if he reached God Realm or Saint Realm, even the King Race members would be suppressed!

As he retreated, the tight formation that the three of them formed was starting to show weakness.

The blood-colored Sword Shadow also changed, forcefully knocking in and splitting up the three of them.

Just as the Sword Light intersected and the blades flew apart, Lu Zhi could only open his eyes and see his two other friends get split into two by that sharp Sword Light.

It was extremely clean and decisive!

When he came back to his senses, he saw that the blood-red Sword Light had formed back into one.

Holding the Nameless Sword, Zong Shou pointed it forward at this Formless God Demon who his partners called Lu Zhi.

The coldness in his eyes became even colder.

“Let me ask you one last time. Did you really try to kill me for the mirror and because of my bloodline? Who did you work with? Did Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty, Jijue Celestial Dynasty and Xuanling Guild join in? If you tell me sincerely, I can give you a quick death…”

This tone was really flat like he didn’t give him any room to object.

At this moment, it was like Lu Zhi had fallen to the bottom of an ice cave.

Being locked down by this Sword Intent, he felt that just thinking was already really difficult.

All hopes of living faded and he was only left with despair.

However, strangely though, due to that despair, the fear and shock in his chest were greatly reduced.

He didn’t bother about what the outcome would be when he was told that they would join in and participate.

The life and death of outer race members had nothing to do with him.

However, since he was going to die, then there was no need to do what Zong Shou wanted.

An enemy of an enemy is one’s friend. These few powers and Zong Shou could never be together and would continue to be enemies. They would also be their allies in killing Zong Shou.

Moreover, for this kid to force him to answer, to question him time and time again, he definitely had his reasoning.

No matter what, he wouldn’t let Zong Shou succeed.

As for a quick death, he was able to go through so much pain and suffering to climb to his current cultivation, so why would he fear that small bit of torture?

He thought about it for a moment before he shook his head.

“Wishful thinking! What happened today is my Shadow Demon Race…”

When he said this, he paused, only to see the blood patterns in his eyes appear once more.

His expression was filled with loss and shock as he said, “My Shadow Demon Race was invited by Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty, Tianfang Guild and also Xuanling Guild Mufang, Jijue Celestial Dynasty Fuyue to join in. There is also Cloud World Tao…”

Before he finished, a black light shot over from afar.

It was totally silent, only when it was half a breath away did Zong Shou notice it.

He subconsciously acted, the Ten Extreme Imperial Dao Destruction Sword Formation that was hiding to the side was activated.

Hundreds and thousands of sharp Sword Energies struck the black light at the same time.

Instantly, the black light was shattered.

A black mist exploded out from within and spread out quickly in the void.

Lu Zhi was also alerted, finally coming to his senses. Anxiousness appeared in his eyes and his face was filled with loss.

“What did you do to me? What did I say?”

Zong Shou didn’t worry about him and looked closely at the black mist.

Poison? It didn’t look weak either.

He decisively scattered the Sword Light and with a few slashes of his sword he obtained Lu Zhi’s God Demon Energy Pellet and then retreated.

The black mist also spread over causing the God Realm body to corrode and melt in the poisonous mist, becoming a portion of it.

Zong Shou felt a chill. Even if Lu Zhi died and his aura faded, he still had a God Realm unbreakable body.

It shouldn’t be broken and corroded so easily.

Through that, one could tell how strong the poison was.

If it was used on the battlefield, the outcome would truly be catastrophic.

Luckily, the spread of the poison was really slow and as long as one was slightly stronger, one would be able to escape.

Or a God Realm Cultivator good at wind techniques would be able to push it aside.

However, at this moment, Zong Shou cared more about where the black light came from.

His Spiritual Sense spread out like a ripple, the blood intent in his eyes became even thicker as he shone the numerous worlds around.

Moments later, Zong Shou frowned and retracted his Spiritual Sense.

There was nothing unusual about the area and there wasn’t anyone there.

There weren’t any suspicious points around the World River.

His Spiritual Sense contacted Aokun and Aoyi but they too didn’t obtain anything either.

Zong Shou understood and knew that the person who acted either had something that could hide from his World Burning Blood Eye ability or he had a treasure that could allow him to be totally invisible.

He was able to actually escape safely from both his Blood Eyes and Illusionary Heart Mirror.

No matter what the reason was, one would know that the background of this person was extremely strong.

He also thought back to the words Lu Zhi had said.

Cloud World Tao…

Tao? Taoist Faction? Or Daoling Vast Habitat?

The Shadow Demons tried to ambush and kill him today but did the Cloud World Taoist Faction join in?

He remembered that they had an agreement that within 20 years he couldn’t return to the Cloud World.

However, they also promised that within 20 years they wouldn’t be enemies with Great Gan and him.

Then, what was the meaning of their actions today?

Was Daoling Vast Habitat really that confident, or did something else happen in the Cloud World?

Such that they totally disregarded the previous agreement?

Although he had many unanswered questions in his heart, his gaze slowly became sharper and sharper.

If it was really someone from the Taoist Faction, then it was really a waste that he didn’t grasp the opportunity today.

If not, once he ended this matter, he could consider returning back to the Cloud World.

However, since that person had nefarious intentions to scheme against him, then there would definitely be a second opportunity after this.

Since he was now wary and lying in wait, he didn’t believe that he wouldn’t be able to grab this person’s tail.

As for the Cloud World, he really had to pay attention to it. He had just left for a few months so who knows what changes had occured?

Did the Book of the Universe battle come to an end so quickly? Or did Wei Xu fail when he tried to enter the End Realm?

A million thoughts flashed in his mind before he burst out laughing.

Although he didn’t hear Lu Zhi say the most crucial part, the first few were enough! This already made him satisfied.

“My Shadow Demon Race was invited by Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty, Tianfang Guild and also Xuanling Guild Mufang, Jijue Celestial Dynasty Fuyue to join in.”

His fists clenched tight as wave after wave of energy exploded out around his body.

Zong Shou’s eyes were ice cold.

Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty, Xuanling Guild and Jijue Celestial Dynasty were still okay.

Hong Jiuchen being unhappy was expected and the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty did have the ability to interfere in this.

Mufang and Fuyue declaring themselves as enemies with him was also expected.

However, for Tianfang Guild to actually dare to join in, they were really asking to die!

The space behind him suddenly moved. A really familiar fragrance appeared behind him and a pair of arms wrapped around his body without a care of the gazes of people around. Although no one spoke, he could feel her clear longing for him.

Zong Shou’s heart felt warm, the killing intent in his eyes slowly calmed down.

At this moment, Feng Taiji and the others dealt with their opponents and moved over. They looked over with weird expressions on their faces.

Zong Shou didn’t bother about their gazes too as he hugged Ruoshui’s petite body in his arms.

He first stared right at Zhao Yanran and apologized to them all, “I came late, sorry to all of you! Thanks to all of you going all out, Great Gan is safe. I am really grateful and I will thank you for your help in the future!”

If they were his subjects, then there would be no need to do so. However, most of these people were from the Sword Sect, Buddhist Faction and Common People’s Path.

The people here including Feng Taiji were all doted and respected.

Even before, when Zong Shou didn’t reply and he had abandoned them to suffer the attacks of the few powers in Yuanlian World, the few Celestial Realm Cultivators here didn’t make any noise.

They all saw Zong Shou’s might when he killed those 5 Formless God Demons.

Their emotions were tough to calm down even now.

Even if those 5 were being suppressed by the Illusionary Heart Mirror and their true combat strength had fallen below God Realm, Zong Shou dealt with the matter so easily and casually. It was obvious that he had huge strength.

They felt that the people ahead of him were indiscernible. How could such a hero not take down Yuanlian World?

Since they wanted to follow him to gain a footing on Yuanlian World, then how could they not pay a price?

Although they suffered heavy losses, compared to the rewards, it was totally negligible.

Zong Shou looked at Feng Taiji weirdly and sized him up.

He felt that this person seemed to have become totally different. He was originally a talent but after a few months he seemed more and more outstanding.
