Chapter 996 - Occupying Tianfang

Qu Fuchen’s face was already alternating between purple and green. Who knew if it was caused by rage or by shock?

“Ruler, what is the meaning of this? Are you really going to be enemies with the four of us?”

“So what if I am? I have already attacked, so why are you still talking? How annoying!”

Zong Shou waved his sleeves impatiently, cold disdain appeared in his eyes, “Didn’t you threaten me? That if I acted on my own accord you were going to go all out against me. Just you, are you good enough? Who are you even to dare to come and mediate between Tianfang Guild and I? I have already attacked, so if you want to fight, then let’s fight, otherwise, either die here or scram!”

Qu Fuchen’s face was devoid of blood and his body shuddered. Then, his face flushed red.

His eyes were filled with fear as he looked at the four Saint Realm Venerables in the area.

If it was just Aokun and Aoyi, the few experts on their side working together would be able to suppress them.

When did the Cloud World Sword Sect and Buddhist Faction get involved in this?

Looking at the situation, they were going to go all out. They also seemed to not bother hiding their cooperation…

He instantly understood that they were most probably going to lose today, and that they were going to lose really badly! However, he didn’t feel despair.

In the past, the five factions of the Cloud World had often tried to join hands to explore and expand into the outer region.

At the start, they could still work together, but often as time went on there would be a conflict of interest and then they would start fighting one another.

The other factions in the Cloud World also wouldn’t allow the other factions to expand and grow stronger which would in turn reflect on the Cloud World.

Without people plotting, this combined effort would collapse and they would be easily solved soon.

They might have lost once today but in the future they might still be able to win.

Suppressing his thoughts, Qu Fuchen’s expression forcefully calmed down, his voice also turned soft.

“Ruler’s words aren’t true and we can still discuss this. Why do you have to attack…”

Halfway through, he heard Miaodi say expressionlessly, “Five breaths!”

His expression seemed calmed and composed but killing intent gathered in his eyes.

This was to remind Qu Fuchen that he still had five breaths of time to safely leave this place.

Yexuan who was beside Zong Shou also suddenly opened his eyes. He pressed down on his sword and took a step forward, “Ruler, why are you still spouting nonsense with him?”

He waved his sleeves and the green sword light left the sheath. At the start, it was retracted and didn’t leak at all, just slightly trembling. It just slashed out toward the World River flow.

When everyone reacted, the sword light had already arrived in front of Qu Fuchen.

The Sword Intent suddenly pulled up and showed a domineering strength. The sword body rang out intensely, resonating all around, and caused pain in one’s eardrums.

Qu Fuchen’s eyes were filled with shock as his expression changed once more.

But he still did not panic.

Four pieces of jade talismans flew out from his sleeves and protected him. They actually transformed into four God Beasts, the shape of four elephants!

That huge sleeve swept and covered the green light. A series of fingers flicked out from within. Qu Fuchen laughed coldly.

“Great! I heard long about your Yexuan’s Big Domain Shocking Sword Technique and that in a day you defeated three Venerables at once. Today, to be able to see it, it really is not bad…”

Many fingers flicked at the sword body and gave out a series of clanging sounds. Bit by bit, it grounded down on the attack and harmed its strength.

Looking on as this green sword light that was about to turn into a dragon, Yexuan was totally expressionless. Only when the sword was covered by Qu Fuchen’s sleeves did his right hand move.

Instantly, the Sword Intent changed and Qu Fuchen’s wide sleeves suddenly swelled and expanded. Inside them it seemed like there was an untamed arrogant dragon that was charging everywhere.

Huge sweat beads appeared on Qu Fuchen’s head as he went all out to fend against it.

In the end, there was a “Peng” as his sleeves were scattered. The green sword light charged up. It was still extremely arrogant and eye-catching as it looked down on everyone!

With just one sword slashing down, the illusions of the four elephants cracked and were destroyed.

The remnant sword energy charged right at Qu Fuchen’s neck!

Qu Fuchen’s clothing was ripped into pieces by the shaking sword energy.

At this moment, he was really haggard and didn’t dare to block anymore. With a flash, he left that spot.

Yexuan didn’t chase, retracting the sword attack as he spoke up really aptly, “Scram!”

Suddenly, everyone came to the shocking realization that the dozens of Saint Realm intents that were flowing around this area had actually all gone.

After that, Qu Fuchen dodged Yexuan’s sword, he didn’t stay at all. He also didn’t dare to say anything more as he turned into a streak of green light and fled.

Those 70 warships also retreated quickly, like they were afraid that they exceeded the time limit that Miaodi had set for them.

Everyone was shocked. Then, everyone turned their eyes to those 70 Tianfang Guild Spaceships outside of Tianfang World.

The scale wasn’t small but at this moment, everyone could see that they seemed really lonely and minuscule.

Zhao Yanran took a look and sighed, “What a waste…”

At this moment, these words might’ve sounded really confusing and out of place.

However, Zong Shou knew what she meant. Actually in this battle, Common People’s Path had a role to play.

In the battle against Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty, Zong Shou had only used Great Gan’s strength.

This trip to Tianfang World was naturally left to the three factions.

However, Zong Shou left the two Saint Realm Venerables and the Common People’s Path Dao Soldiers over at Yuanlian World.

Firstly, without Saint Realm experts defending that place, Zong Shou wouldn’t be at ease. Another reason was to take care of them. Sword Sect and Buddhist Faction were strong and even if they offended these few powers, they weren’t afraid.

However, now Common People’s Path was different.

It seemed like Zhao Yanran saw through his intentions.

Tanjing who had been looking on from the side since he came back also sighed.

He knew that Tianfang Guild, which had over 10,000 years of history, was totally finished…

※※※※

In just a short moment, they crushed the Tianfang Guild fleet.

Since Qu Fuchen, the Saint Realm Venerables, and the ships that were sent over were all forced to leave, the Tianfang Guild people had lost all their fighting spirit and their intentions to fight back.

The few Saint Realm Venerables didn’t even attack and Shi Ruolan had already brought the nine Taiyi God Lightning Ships, causing a large portion of their ships to surrender.

The 16 Nine Bright Broken Star Ships fell into Shi Ruolan’s hands pretty much in a perfect condition and totally intact.

This was something that made Zong Shou happy. Each one of those Earth Grade Warships were of astonishing value. They were comparable to a quarter of what Great Gan earned in Yuanlian World each year.

These Nine Bright Broken Star Ships were the same as the Taiyi God Lightning Ships which could be controlled by the Source Ocean Demon Slaying Warriors. It was enough to allow Great Gan’s navy skills to improve by another level.

After crushing the navy, the next thing would be for the invade the land. Led by Lieque, just 3,000 Black Fox Iron Cavalry, 10,000 Big Dipper Sword Soldiers, and10,000 Big Dipper Crossbow Soldiers occupied the entire Tianfang World at incredible speed.

Actually, at this moment, Tianfang Guild had more than double the number of men that Lieque led here.

However, on one side, their military heart was scattered and they had no fighting spirit at all. The other was that several Saint Realm Venerables were forcing down on them and the higher-ups of the Guilds didn’t have any intention to fight back.

They were afraid that Zong Shou who was still so domineering and arrogant, even in the face of those four powers, would kill them all out of rage.

As such, none of the large-sized protecting spiritual formations within the Tianfang World were even activated.

Before the war matter even ended, there were close to half of the people who expressed their desires to join Zong Shou.

Zong Shou temporarily didn’t worry about them. He cared more about Tianfang Guild’s treasury.

Maybe because they were confident that the Seven Saint Alliance and other powers could protect them…

Their treasuries were all still there and hadn’t been shifted.

Looking at the tens of thousands of Low-Grade Celestial Stones, hundreds of thousands of armors and pills, Zong Shou was so delighted that he nearly fainted on the spot.

Just this alone was enough for him to pay all his debt to the Shura Race and make up for the losses of turning back time. He could even double the number of Dao Soldiers that he had now.

However, this joy was only when he found the treasury.

When he heard that Tianfang Guild had given out close to a third of their riches when they requested for the four sides to help, Zong Shou gritted his teeth. His face turned green and white and he really wanted to cut off the heads of the five guilds and deputy guild leaders.

At this moment, Lu Wubing didn’t follow him over. Thus, he could only personally deal with the post-battle Tianfang World matters.

Luckily, this was just a small-sized world. The enemy and friendly forces were clear, so things weren’t complicated.

It was only slightly more problematic to calm down those merchants and factionless cultivators within the world.

Zong Shou could only suppress his personality and not start war and killing. He could only lock up the higher-ups of Tianfang Guild.

Three days later, Zong Shou brought Yexuan and Yuan Wushang and walked into that Wenqi Building.

Maybe it was because Tianfang World had just gone through a battle or the owner of this place didn’t know how to run it, but when Zong Shou walked in, it was empty and extremely cold.

Shen Yuexuan seemed to know that he would come here and he was sitting in the shop waiting for him.

“When I helped you craft your weapons, I didn’t expect that you would actually be the Ruler of Cloud World Great Gan. Who knew that in just a few years Ruler would manage to sweep a place and build such foundations? Even Tianfang World has fallen into your control.”

He sighed emotionally before he said jokingly, “In the future, my Wenqi Building will need to survive under Ruler’s rule. Ruler, give me face because of our past relationship and take care of me.”

Looking at this person, Yuan Wushang was still filled with doubt. He looked just normal and very ordinary. Such a person could fix the damages to his Jade Puppet?

A bright glow shot out from Yexuan’s eyes. He focused on Shen Yuexuan’s arms and knew that this person was not only a sword cultivator, but that his sword technique was not even weaker than his!

As an artifact blacksmith, it was really interesting that he had such attainments in the martial path!
