Divine Brilliance

Chapter 1061: Delicious Xue’er

The cold spiritual intent reached in and lingered. It was made up of a few different spiritual senses, after their strengths combined, it was as vast as that of an End Realm expert’s. The spiritual formation within the palace couldn’t block it at all.

A moment later, Zong Shou raised his head impatiently and pressed Chuxue onto his chest, coldly staring at the void.

“Haven’t you seen enough? Taoist Faction Celestial Venerable, Confucian Faction Saint, do you all like to peek at others?”

That spiritual sense suddenly halted as a cold scoff spread over, “How preposterous and unruly! Shameless and ignorant Ruler...”

When this voice echoed out, the spiritual sense retreated like a flood.

Zong Shou’s lips curled up as he didn’t bother about it. He already knew and he was already prepared to fight.

He gave out a mocking laugh, he then looked curiously and suspiciously towards Zhang Huai.

“The Jiuchi Palace isn’t a place that has to be saved. With my sword skills and movement techniques, if I face trouble, then I can just flee. How will they try to hide their attacks from me?”

If they really wanted to capture him right away to kill him, then they had to set a trap. He couldn’t flee at all if they did. However, if not, then what was the point of attacking him here?

Zhang Huai shook his head. “The Taoist Faction has a Thousand Mile Movement Armor Technique, while Demon Sect has a Demon Space God Hiding Technique which can cause a hundred thousand troops to instantly teleport a thousand miles. However, the price is slightly huge. The Common People’s Path also has techniques to look through space and hide tracks, why does Ruler have to worry about your enemy?”

He looked towards Chuxue and broke out into a laugh. After which, Zhang Huai bowed towards Zong Shou before backing off.

Only then did Zong Shou notice that the girl in his arms was a little off. Just now, when the spiritual sense spread in, she acted along with him. However, when the Saint Realm intent backed out, she was still really gentle and tame, she didn’t resist at all.

The right hand within her clothes pinched him, that warm feeling caused Zong Shou’s lower body to immediately react.

Chuxue raised up her head in a daze, her face flushed red as her eyes looked blur. It was like she was still drunk with the kiss.

Zong Shou’s desires grew, thinking to himself that this little girl was really charming. Also that the twin rabbits in front of her chest seemed to be magical as such that he didn’t want to let go of it.

His gaze flashed and he didn’t hesitate to kiss her once more. He tasted it and it was actually sweet.

He sucked on it and reached his tongue in, his other hand headed deep beneath her stomach into that deep hole.

When she couldn’t take it anymore and gave out a bone-numbing moan, only did Zong Shou come back to his senses. He quickly pulled his hands out from her shirt.

He sighed in his heart, he really nearly ate her whole. This girl was just too tempting and delicious.

Naturally, he already craved her for a long time, but this wasn’t the right occasion now.

A war was about to occur and his Slaying Sword Intent had a long way to grow.

How could he be greedy for such joy? With his past experience, once he brought Xue’er, this brat onto the bed, it wasn’t something that would end in a day or two. They would go all out for numerous days.

Even from a dual cultivator’s standpoint, her True Essence hadn’t fully grown out.

The Combat Martial Body didn’t just solely provide one with a shocking combat intuition.

Once she entered the God Realm, only then would that be the most suitable time.

Chuxue adjusted her clothes. The girl in her arms was still so gentle and powerless. Her eyes were blurry and he was giddy from what just happened.

Zong Shou laughed, as he dotted on her brows with his finger, he then flicked.

A cooling soul power reached into Chuxue’s body. By then, she came back to her senses. She opened her eyes and looked towards Zong Shou with a weird expression.

A moment later, she seemed to have thought about something. Her long neck swelled red as she stayed in his arms, not moving at all.

Zong Shou smiled as he acted curiously. “Does Xue’er want more? Then I won’t hold back...”

When he lowered his head to kiss her, she was frightened and jumped out like a bunny, hurrying out of the hall.

Zong Shou laughed out loud when he saw this, only after a long while did he stop.

He still summoned the God Refined Sword in front of his body. In just a moment, a crazy and sharp intent spurted out and covered the hall.

Zong Shou was fully focused as he entered into a deep thought.

Massacring... Slaying... how was he going to break through? How was he going to merge them into one...?

※※※※

Three thousand miles out, north of Min River. Within an unassuming valley, the mini-palace looking carriage quietly hung on the plains.

Within the reading room, a few Saint Realm Venerables from the Taoist and Confucian Factions retracted their spiritual sense.

The mirror hanging in the air also collapsed along with it. The scenes within slowly scattered.

“Wine pond, meat forest, precious beast garden. Scoff! Who knew how much money Zong Shou obtained to build this. Even that guy in ancient times was just like that...”

The person who spoke wasn’t one of the Saint Realm experts, but the Left Censor Zuoxin.

He was filled with rage. “The great Gan people have suffered under him for too long. Great Shang must take down this unruly Ruler and resolve the problems of the people!”

The few Confucian Faction cultivators nodded when they heard this in agreement, their faces showed expressions of how the Heavens pitied the common people. They got a little excited, to be able to overturn such a violent Ruler... their names would surely be written in the history books.

“He really is an arrogant Ruler!”

After thinking about it, Zong Shou and Jiezhou were really similar.

They both focused on military, and during their years in power, they started wars all over. Pretty much each year there would be war. They were both really talented and were Martial Path geniuses. They were also quite perverted and lustful.

“The Jiuchi Palace? He’s just the ruler of a barbarian land, owning merely ten states and actually dared to recreate Jiezhou’s wine pond and meat forest? If one day he becomes the Ruler of the Central Cloud Continent, what would he do?”

This time, it was one of the six Venerables present who talked, he was Liu Li, also called Xuebao, one of the Saint Scholars of the Confucian Faction. After the Cloud Desolate Era, he was one of the closest to the End Realm.

He subconsciously forgot about Zong Shou’s seventy-six worlds outside in the outer region.

A cold glow appeared in his eyes. “My Confucian Faction will not allow this kid to exist and sow chaos in the Cloud World!”

He glanced to Yinyu, one side was humble and disciplined, while the other was luxurious and immoral. One side ruled well while the other was really strict to officials and even made people powerful, giving them the chance to become officials.

The difference between these two Rulers were so obvious.

People like Yinyu were indefinitely close to the ideal Confucian Ruler, a wise lord.

Unfortunately, the time wasn’t right yet and it wasn’t his destiny...

Fate was just like that, the Great Shang was about to end, so what could they do?

Although the Confucian Faction were loyal to their ruler, but they couldn’t block the waves caused by the Taoist Faction and Demon Sect.

However, if they were able to conquer the rich Donglin Cloud Continent, there might be a chance for the Great Shang to extend their rule and have a chance of rising back up.

At this point, Yinyu’s face was green. He gripped his hands tightly under the table, green veins popping out. His fingernails etched into his hands, only then was he able to prevent himself from blowing up in front of everyone.

How preposterous! How preposterous! They deserved to be killed!

His gaze glanced across the documents on the table, his chest was about to explode from rage.

They came from all around, telling them that the granaries were running out.

He had never asked about the grain storage of the country and never knew that it had reached such levels. action

Before the war, he didn’t notice it but once it started, only a month later did all this explode out.

On the surface, the grains that could support the eighteen million troops for two years were actually taken by the officials and guards themselves, they sold them.

They said that they had stored it for too long and it had already rotted.

The various merchants, aristocrats, and families, worked together to amass grain, he couldn’t purchase even if he wanted to.

The treasury, for some reason, lost tens of millions of Mind Stones.

D*mn corrupted worms! How did they dare to do this?

This was the first time he felt that his dozens of years of rule were totally useless. He went too far in trying to recruit the people.

If he knew that this was going to happen, he would have cared more and less about his name even if he just killed some of them.

If not for this time when the army conquering the south not succeeding in a month, and the grain being a problem. They were going to hide it from him forever.

What a “Use the Reason of the Heavens To Wipe Out Temptation”! Even though they spread it for thousands of years, but how many Confucians could actually do it? Which one of those corrupt officials didn’t read those scriptures?

Zuoxin, who worked for Great Shang, also had his own temptations.

He suppressed the rage in his chest as he thought back to the luxuries within Zong Shou’s palace. Only then did he feel slightly better.

Yinyu as a ruler was totally different from Zong Shou.

“Officials. This Zong Shou is still so arrogant and flagrant. Even if we all know this, it won’t affect the situation. Now that the Great Shang lacks grain, even if we try to save him, we can only last for half a month. What do we do then? What we need is a way to break this.”

The situation was much worse than the three months that Zhang Huai had predicted.

Zuoxin was stunned, his face filled with guilt as he said, “It’s my fault, I was unable to notice the corruption of the local officials, our granaries had really reached such an extent.”

Yinyu shook his head and waved his hand. “This is the problem of the Great Shang, it was like this a thousand years ago. Selling grain became really common and has nothing to do with you. I failed my job...”

Zuoxin was more and more grateful. “After this battle, I will investigate the problem and I will heavily weed out all the corrupted officials.”

Everyone looked towards Feiyin and all the other generals.

Within the reading room, in terms of cultivation, they were much stronger than Feiyin. However, in terms of troops ability, they would depend on this person.

“Kong Yao is really careful when using troops, she even sneak attacked many times. She never leaves the enemy a chance to attack her. I’m really useless, to crush her in a month and a half is impossible.”

Feiyin was really dejected. During these few days, he was already anxious. Unlike before when she looked down on Kong Yao.

“However, she needs a good ruler to show off her ability. Who she serves is an unruly and preposterous one.”
