Chapter 987: Chapter 987 - Dangerous Situation
Chapter 987: Dangerous Situation
After hearing Lieque’s words, Zong Shou found out that he actually had such a treasure among his prisoners .
He didn’t really care about the Cold Crystal Shadow Blade Ships as it wasn’t one of the top Earth Grade warships .
Moreover, they needed more than five Extreme Blade Celestials that only the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty had to have the ability to compete against with God Realm Cultivators .
Compared to the Taiyi God Lightning Ships that needed a random Peak Celestial Realm Cultivator to control, it was much weaker .
At this moment, Great Gan had just risen up and if they hired too many surrendered troops, it would cause a problem of uncertainty and chaos .
However, Zong Shou paid a lot of attention to those Spiritual Blacksmiths .
After all, they had experience in crafting Earth Grade Spaceships and as such it would be easy for them to craft other types of ships .
However, Yi Lingsu didn’t accept his fate as easily as Lieque .
Zong Shou used all sort of methods, soft and hard just as Lieque had said . He used strength to force, used emotions to touch him, the only thing he didn’t do was use his family to threaten him . Only then did he agree .
He didn’t agree to become a Great Gan Celestial Dynasty subject, only agreeing to help Zong Shou persuade them to surrender . Such that his race along with the other artifact blacksmiths that Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty had would all move to Yuanlian World .
He would also try his best to persuade more of the Chill Crystal Shadow Blade Ships to come over to their side .
To Zong Shou, the reason why this person would agree to all of that wasn’t because he was truly persuaded by him, but because Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty was on the verge of chaos . He was worried that his family would be wrapped up in trouble and he was just finding some safe harbor for his family .
Zong Shou didn’t mind and instead was surprised about it .
Experienced artifact blacksmiths were tough to find . There weren’t many of those Cold Crystal Shadow Blade Ships, but the people controlling them, the elite shipmen, were also hard to develop .
It was already 10 days later before he arranged all things appropriately .
At this moment, Yuanlian World was basically stabilized and in his hands . The eastern countries had their royal families changed . Based on merit, various roles were dished out and changed .
He also changed and ordered the various generals to select elites . The Spaceships carried them and were protected by Shi Ruolan’s navy to head into the void to hunt the surrounding worlds .
Rather than call this a war, it was more appropriately termed an advance .
At this moment, the small-sized worlds that were originally under Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty were all basically empty .
Some bold ones directly joined his side .
Xuanling Guild and Jijue Celestial Dynasty knew their place and retreated their men long ago .
They sent envoys over with big gifts and presents to try to repair their relationship .
On one side, they each wanted to give up land and admit their errors . On the other side, they gathered the envoys from many powers to try to force him this Great Gan Ruler to abide by the rules in this region .
The so-called rule would be that people above Celestial Realm wouldn’t be allowed to participate in the war in this region .
Zong Shou scoffed when he heard this . He had already seen through what this rule was really about .
If you were weak, others would treat you like you didn’t exist, not bothering with you at all .
Only when you were strong would they care about this rule and start to argue with you about it .
On the surface, he still agreed . After all, Great Gan currently was far from the strength it needed in order to make new rules .
He didn’t need to worry much about Yuanlian World . However, as for occupying the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty land, he had to exert some effort .
He thought about it a lot before deciding to appoint Kui Xuan as Commander .
This person was really stable and capable when he used troops, and the only time when he took a risk he lost to Zhuang Yu . It was probably something he remembered deeply and something he would never forget .
Using him as a commander was to show trust to him and another reason was because he really had no one else who he could use .
Although Yuanlian World was already suppressed, the situation still wasn’t stable and there were many things that could still happen .
Without Zhuang Yu here, it would be tough for Zong Shou to be at ease . As for Lieque, Zong Shou had other uses for him . That place needed an Unparalleled General more than here .
As for conquering the Nine Capital, it was already falling apart, so there wouldn’t be much of an intense battle .
Moreover, with the dozens of God Realm Cultivators taking care of Zong Shou and guiding him, he probably won’t make any mistakes .
Apart from Zhuang Yu, Lu Wubing was also here in Yuanlian World .
During these few days, if it wasn’t for Lu Wubing helping him handle many governance matters, Zong Shou really wouldn’t have been able to manage .
Now that he had to leave, all the more reason he had to leave this person here in charge of taking care of Yuanlian World and to perfect the ruling technique .
At this moment, the matter couldn’t be considered totally over . He only had some spare time, unlike those previous 10 days where he had to be busy every day . He even had to use the Book of Eon to speed up time to deal with matters .
There was still a period of time away from everything settling down .
Zong Shou could finally slack, walking out from that building and having some time of his own .
In the wee hours of the morning, the Yuanjing Palace started to become noisy .
People passed all about and there were many people who came in and out of the palace .
Zong Shou was only able to take in some fresh air before he felt slightly affected, shaking his head .
“It seems like this Yuanjing Palace is still a little small . ”
It was still okay with the Yuanlian World as the central pillar but for the current Great Gan Celestial Dynasty which was able to rule over 60 small and medium-sized worlds and hundreds of different countries, there were many more matters that the Ruler had to handle .

The members of the Celestial Dynasty increased explosively unavoidably and was already at the shocking number of 20,000 .
At most, in a few years, he would have to consider expanding or rebuilding the Celestial Dynasty .
He thought back to governance matters and he frowned .
“Pretty much all my time is used on these matters . When will I be able to try to search for the extreme of the Sword Path?”
This was a conflict . Actually, Zong Shou spent much less time compared to the heads of other powers . It was only after Great Gan suddenly expanded by over 10 times did he become slightly busier .
Even then, it was something that Zong Shou couldn’t handle .
To become the ruler of millions of rulers, one had to spend much effort in ruling the people under them .
To be invincible in the region, one needed to spend more time studying the martial path and getting one’s sword to the extreme .
It seemed like he had to build a complete cabinet in the Celestial Dynasty to help him deal with matters .
Zhang Huai could be moved out of the Cloud World . This person’s talents were a little better than Lu Wubing .
For him to use just a Cloud World as a stage was just too small .
With the two of them working together, this cabinet would take shape .
However, apart from that, there was a need for several ruling talents . At most, there was a need for an experienced man at the side to help .
Renbo was still the most suitable person…
When he thought about this old man, Zong Shou felt pain in his heart .
Till now, he was still unable to find a way to expand his lifespan .
He sighed and flipped his right hand . A red crystal appeared in it .
He send his Spritual Sense in to search and he could hear the crying sounds within .
This was Xiao Xiangzi’s soul . After that battle, Zong Shou didn’t hesitate to claim his life .
Since he was enemies with the Taoist Faction once more, then there was no need to show face .
After he searched his soul, he finally confirmed that Common People’s Vast Habitat was in trouble .
Unfortunately, Xiao Xiangzi was in too low of a position and didn’t know the detailed situation .
He could only look at the small details to find out that the Taoist Faction was ready to act on Common People’s Path .

At that point, the ones who would attack wouldn’t only be the Taoist Faction .
10 days ago, Zong Shou had already decided to go back . However, he could only calm himself down and deal with all these matters first .
“Taoist Faction? Only three months…”
Based on Xiao Xiangzi’s memories, Wei Xu should have gone through his End Realm tribulation within these three months .
Based on this person’s memories, four months ago, Common People’s Path found out that something wasn’t right .
However, at that point they had no choice . Wei Xu’s cultivation had already reached the brink . He chose this time to break through as he was connected to the heavens, and the tribulation was already set . He could only bring it forward, he couldn’t delay it .
It seemed like the day he went through his tribulation would be the day that the Taoist Faction would attack .
Zong Shou searched the soul but was unable to find anything else . The Taoist Faction plans and schemes were all unknown .
Zong Shou was at a loss as he held this blood-colored water crystal .
Even if he went back, what could he do?
Leading the army here back? He couldn’t do that as it wouldn’t achieve much .
He also knew that once that Qingxuan Taoist Lord attacked he would go all out .
Dragon Shadow and Aokun both owed Wei Xu a favor . Once they knew about it, they would definitely help .
However, once they were wrapped up in this, even they themselves might be at risk of dying .
He had taken a look at Common People’s Path books and it was recorded that there were a total of seven End Realm Cultivators who killed Xi Zi . Apart from that, there was the Taoist Faction three Qing Venerable Gods, Confucian Faction Four Venerable Saints Incarnations as well as seven God Treasures .
There were even hundreds of Saint Realms and God Realms who sealed their cultivation to descend .
The number of Celestial Realm and Spirit Realms, as well as Grade Nine Cultivators, were even more numerous .
That battle was one in which corpses were like mountains and blood flowed like oceans; it was extremely cruel and intense .
Taoist and Confucian Factions were badly hurt . At least two-thirds of the Saint Realm Cultivators were wiped out .
However, the ones who suffered the most losses was still the outer region powers .
Xiuguan couldn’t compare to Xi Zi, who was half step to the True Realm, but he was at the Peak of End Realm .
This was why he was able to ensure that the Common People’s Path didn’t fall and remained as one of the five factions .
However, the Taoist Faction was so confident in wiping them out in one battle .

One could tell how much manpower they mobilized this time .
Although he was strong and could look down on people, he was truly like an ant in this battle, unable to make much of a difference .
At this moment, the only one that could help Common People’s Path was the Sky Burning Lu Family as well as the Buddhist Faction…
“Do I really have to beg people?”
The moment that thought rose up, he broke into a bitter smile .
He was really confident that both of them wouldn’t reject him .
However, he had to pay a price!
He had to enter the Buddhist Faction to become the Unlimited Beginning and End Buddha .
Or enter the Lu Family to take over the Sky Burning Saint Land .
If he didn’t sacrifice anything, who would bother to help him?
Speaking of which, it was his pride that caused harm to others . Unless he had no choice, otherwise, he wouldn’t be willing to ask for help .
Was he too selfish?
Thinking about how many Common People’s Path disciples would die in this battle, he couldn’t help but feel startled . Many of them were people who spent some time together with him .
He stood still, stunned, and in deep thought . Only when he sensed something with his heart did he came back to his senses .
He looked out to see Feng Taiji, Zifang, and Zhao Yanran coming over together .
Zong Shou retracted his thoughts . Since they all came here, it was definitely work from their sects .
He had waited for them to make a decision for a long time .
