Chapter 320: The Second Assassination
The reason is very simple, the more spirit weapons the Kong Qi Sect refines, the more disciples it will cultivate.
Every year, the number of talisman artifacts refined by Yunlu in the east is limited. Among them, most of the shares were divided among the sects. Unlike the Danquan sect, the major sects want to buy elixir from it instead.
At this time when the spiritual tide is rising, it is even more urgent to cultivate disciples.
This is a fundamental contradiction related to the sect, and it must be suppressed if the Lingyun Sect is the overlord in the east of the cloud realm.
However, Zong Shou still hesitated for a while, forging weapons is an important military weapon, how can it be controlled by outsiders?
An order of one million can certainly bring him an ally with relevant interests, but it will also definitely affect the growth of the forging industry and spiritual forging masters in Qiantian Mountain City.
After contemplating for a moment, Zong Shou had an idea, and then he smiled and said, "I don't need five hundred thousand beast crystals for the Tianshan Mountain. How about three hundred thousand a year for the first five years? Do Tianshan for me, and then cultivate another sixty thousand." As a fourth-level spiritual trainer, I will naturally bear all the expenses. I am an outer disciple of the noble sect, but I have to obey my orders! In addition, please ask the noble sect to do Tianshan for me and redesign the mysterious The armor and weapons of the fox iron cavalry are based on quasi-fourth-order spiritual weapons similar to the blood cloud cavalry. Once completed, I, Zong Shousi, will place an order for 5,000 sets."
Johan suddenly hissed and took a breath of cold air. Originally, the number was reduced to 300,000, and the training of 60 fourth-level spiritual trainers had already fallen below the bottom line in his heart. Feeling even more displeased, this young demon king really has a good plan.
But be the last. When he heard the promise of the five thousand sets of fourth-order quasi-spiritual weapons. Johan was slightly shocked in his heart.
This is different from those blood cloud armors that have been half disabled, but a real quasi-fourth-order spiritual weapon. Based on the market, a fourth-order spiritual weapon is equivalent to three hundred fourth-order beast crystals, and the price of a quasi-fourth-order halved. Including the cost of the design, this business is at least two million or more.
Frowning and contemplating, Johan was feeling hesitant. But seeing Zong Yuan, he went upstairs to report again.
"Your Majesty! Xuanshui. Yu Yi, the city lords of Ren Gong and Lie Shan are also downstairs, waiting for a long time. They said they have something to do, and they want to meet with your majesty!"
Zong Shou blinked, a little puzzled. Among the dozens of city-state lords who followed him under the sea of clouds, the city lords of these four cities were the most cunning and cunning.
But before, he had talked with these people one after another. The share rewards have already been given. I don't know why these people came to look for him at this moment.
Seeing Zong Yuan's face, it was obvious that he stopped talking. Zong Shou probed down again with his spiritual sense, and dispersed towards the bottom of the building. But in a moment, I knew the reason.
It's not just Lin Ji below, it seems to be the envoy of Lieyan City and Yunxia City. It seems to have arrived too.
"After all, there is still a battle. Those guys, what's the use of seeing them? You just drive them away."
But Zong Yuan frowned: "Zong Yuan also has this intention, but these people seem to have other ideas." Then he didn't say anything, just put three bronzing name cards in front of Zong Shou.
Zong Shou picked it up and turned it over a little bit, then he burst out laughing. Good guy! The Lingfu sect, the two great families, have such great backgrounds. This is the three cities of Yuntao and Lieyan. Sure enough, just as he guessed, they all have the support of sect forces behind them.
The chess piece failed miserably, so you are ready to go into battle shirtless?
It's just that he even forcibly expelled such forces as the Daoist Xuansu Second Sect and even the Tianhu Xue Sect from Qiantian Mountain. All the elite disciples he sent were beheaded by him. How can he be afraid, this is obviously not as good as the tripartite forces?
It's fine if you don't interfere directly. If he finds out, the clues of the involvement of the three parties in this matter must make these guys look good.
He also has a backer now, although Wei Xu wants him to be self-reliant. But if you really encounter a dangerous situation that you can't handle, you really don't believe in the way of the common people. Will stand by.
Throwing it away indifferently, Zong Shou first narrowed his eyes. Then he said with a normal expression: "Let them come up to talk, it's good to meet them, and see what kind of mystery they are making—"
The envoy of Taoyun City is still Lin Ji. But the envoys from the other two cities are all unfamiliar faces. Obviously, they are extremely knowledgeable and humble, and they only bring one or two assistants with them.
Zong Shou glanced at it, but didn't pay much attention. Except for the one surnamed Lin, whose martial arts cultivation is quite impressive, the rest of them are only in the realm of Wu Zong, and they are accompanied by a spiritual master who is not of high rank, so there is nothing worth noting.
What was more caring was the city lords of the four vassal cities. After coming up, I will see you as a subject. Zong Shou also nodded slightly, and asked curiously, "What are the four of you coming to see me for?"
His senses towards these four people are extremely complicated. When I first entered the sea of clouds, I occasionally encountered a large herd of beasts. These four people tried their best to avoid them, as if they wanted to preserve their strength. But when he arrived at the beast tomb, his attitude changed again. Every time he encountered an enemy, he always charged forward and was afraid of falling behind.
The owner of Xuanshui City is named Luoshui. After the four of them looked at each other, this person was the first to speak: "I will discuss with the four of you, and I am willing to use the four cities to join the king's command!"
Zong Shou's face was pale, and he was a little confused for a while. Could it be that these guys were not his vassals before?
It took me a while to understand. These four cities want to become the cities directly under Qiantian Mountain!
But at this time, he became more and more confused. Are these four crazy? Although the vassal city is subordinate to Qiantian Mountain, all government affairs and military affairs are taken care of by itself. The city lord is almost hereditary, and is equivalent to a vassal with great power. However, the directly-administered city has taken all political and military powers back to Qiantian Mountain. Could it be that these four people ate grass and lost their minds? Don't be a good vassal king, come to be his courtier?
And as far as he knows, among the five provinces under his jurisdiction, these four cities are all among the big cities, each with 150,000 elite soldiers.
Can't help looking at Xuanyuan Yiren suspiciously, his eyes seem to be talking: "Could it be that I, Zong Shou, really have the aura of domineering? Just a casual shake can make people bow their heads?"
Xuanyuan Yiren looked helpless, and gave him a hard look, with an obvious meaning: I'm sure you don't have this thing!
Zong Shou didn't understand the situation at all, so he could only put aside the matter of these four people for the time being and ignore it. Turning to Lin Ji and the others, he asked, "You three, why did you come here?"
Lin Ji no longer had the domineering arrogance he had when they first met, and was about to speak. Hu Zhongyuan, who was sitting on the side, snorted coldly: "My lord, I don't like others standing and talking to him!"
Lin Ji's complexion suddenly became distorted, and his anger flashed wildly. But after struggling with his eyes for a moment, he finally knelt down.
At this time, the situation has completely reversed. The vitality of the three cities of Taoyun was severely injured, but Qiantian Mountain was rising like the sun. The strength of the two forces has completely changed positions, and there is really no room for him to refuse to accept softness.
Who would have thought that such drastic changes would happen in just twenty days?
The Zongshou in front of him is really turning his hands into clouds and his hands into rain, and all the forces in the three cities are being played by him!
Hu Zhongyuan was in a good mood, thinking about the arrogance of this person dozens of years ago, forcing Qian Tianshan to give up half of the province, he suddenly felt unspeakably happy in his chest.
Zong Shou gave him a hard look, but he didn't say anything to stop him. And that Lin Ji also restrained his anger and said: "The foreign minister was ordered by the Lord Yue Guanyun of my family to ask His Highness, and I don't know what His Highness wants, so he is willing to stop fighting? Military affairs are ruthless. Once the battle between our two cities resumes, It must be the loss of life, the death and injury are messy. What happened this time is indeed my fault in Taoyun City. I, Taoyun City, would like to give up half of the magic dragon to appease the wrath of His Highness—"
Zong Shou couldn't help laughing when he heard this. This Yue Guanyun is actually more shameless than he imagined. He was also noncommittal at the moment, and asked instead: "Do you think it is possible?"
Lin Ji's gaze flickered slightly: "If I am His Highness, I will agree!"
Zong Shou shook his head, he didn't know where Lin Ji got such confidence.
This time it was Tan Tao, and Dai Zongshou said, "It's okay if you want me to stop the troops from attacking the Tianshan Mountain! But before you ate and took the dry Tianshan Mountain, you need to spit it out to me. You need to give up the Tianfang one." Province!"
"Is this what His Highness means?" Lin Ji's face remained unchanged, and he glanced at the expressionless Zong Shou above: "What if I don't give it to Taoyun City?"
Hu Zhongyuan over there immediately sneered: "Then why don't I take Tianshan Mountain myself?"
But Lin Ji still couldn't see the panic, but there was a weird and sinister smile on his face: "Really?"
Just in Zong Shou's heart, he felt something was wrong. Behind Lin's fuselage, a black-robed spiritualist who was originally one of the envoys of the Raging Flame suddenly flicked his sleeves, and shot out dozens of talismans at the same time.
The roof of the seven-storey pavilion of Kongqi Tower was immediately surrounded by a cloud of black mist. Several figures also rose violently, their aura surged, and they rushed towards Zong Shou's direction. Zong Yuan stood aside, suddenly furious. The Purple Thunder Spear in his hand suddenly stabbed back. The maddening spear intent pierced through the person behind him with just one shot!
It made everyone around them slightly startled. Unexpectedly, Zongyuan's force is so tyrannical! Kill a Xuanwu Grandmaster in one blow!
It's just that that person is also brave in temperament. When he was dying, he still had the will to fight. Suddenly, his body exploded completely. Turning into a cloud of blood mist, it still rushed forward, enveloping Zong Yuan's whole body. Although Zong Yuan's body was surrounded by lightning flashes and firmly resisted, he was also trapped in place by the explosive power of this person's death for a while, unable to move.
Seeing this, Zong Shou shrank his eyes slightly. These people really found a good time.
The two strong men, Gu Liekong and Zhu Junhou, are currently organizing the fleet and are not by his side. Ling Fakong is a sinner, and he was not with him.
There is only one Zongyuan and one Li Luokekan.
This moment is the time when the strength around him is the weakest.
At the same time, Zongling and Shidan's cold snorts came from their ears. A gust of wind swept away the black mist from the entire upstairs. Pointing together again, the two spirit beasts took shape in the void, and rushed towards the visit where the black-robed spirit master was. ! .
