That male’s voice was hoarse, and it had a magnetic feeling to it, such that one couldn’t help but want to get closer to it. It also gave out a sharp and noble feeling, hiding a hiding glow.

“It is said that north of the central continent there is a teen from an aristocratic family. At 19 years of age with just a sword he killed a grade 7 intense lightning giant locust. Many cloud world sects have high hopes for him...”

“This person is a dual cultivator. Due to his deep family roots, he has reached the return to sun realm and Xuanwu ancestor realm. It is said that he is the top talent in the continent for the past 10 years. To think his people kept him a secret for so long.”

As he said that the teen’s eyes turned into a bright smile, “To be able to kill a grade 7 giant locust at grade 6, it is impossible even if he’s a dual cultivator. If it wasn’t for the emperor path martial techniques, using the strength of a country, it would be his martial arts and spirit merging into one.” action

“Although he came from an aristocratic family, he didn’t take control of an army and wasn’t the ruler of a country. On the other hand, his family was ambitious. They are recruiting many talents and amassing strength. Outsiders might not know, but that kid might have suddenly comprehended under the grade 7 giant locust’s suppression and entered the martial arts and spirit merging into one realm. With his age, it is really rare. Although his talents aren’t like Zong Shou, sword path being one with the spirit at just 13, for the younger generation, if there isn’t anyone else who could merge martial arts and spirit into one, then this kid is invincible...”

His voice was filled with praise. Following which his tone calmed down.

“I heard that this kid uses the sword!”

That teen in scholarly dress smiled out happily when he heard that, “So it seems like you sword Sect is also planning to recruit that teen?”

That purple long sword didn’t bother to hide anything, the sword tip fidgeting slightly, “Yes. Isn’t your common people path planning to too?”

“I’m not hiding it from you, but my common people path weren’t tempted.”

The teen laughed, saying with some self-contempt, “At least we know our place. Your common people path have always been seen as a devil path. Occasionally making a noise in the central Continent is still okay, but if you choose those people who might become the god emperor, everyone will group up on you. Be it the Confucians, Taoists or Demon sects, they won’t allow us to touch them.”

His eyes flashed, showing a glow, “how about this? If your sword Sect is willing to give us Zong Shou, then for this god-emperor seed, my 6 sects of the common people path will try our best to help you!”

The purple sword instantly kept silent, after which he asked curiously, “you are willing? Although sword path being one with the spirit is not bad, but this comprehension gap might not be made up for. The talent of having martial arts and spirit merging into one is something that can’t be asked for. In thousands of years, there might not be even one.”

“So what if I’m unwilling?”

The scholarly dressed teen slightly shook his head, then his brows were raised revealing anticipation, “I have high hopes for this Zong Shou and his personality is what I like. If taught well his achievements might not be weaker than that future direct disciple of your Sword Sect. On the contrary, if you choose that kid, you need to be careful. To have such talent is great. But to grasp it needs a lot of effort. If done roughly, he would become useless. There has been many who can coincidentally complete spirit and martial arts merging before the ascended realm, but there aren’t many that can do it again.”

“I know how to teach my disciples. It has nothing to do with you.”

That purple colored sword didn’t speak anymore, the sword body shaking once more, “Since you made your mind up then this matter is settled. I will give you Zong Shou but your common people path must go all out to assist me in my chase.”

The moment his words landed that sword body shook once more. Directly piercing into the air and disappearing from the tower.

When the scholarly teen saw that, he was filled with envy. Having a 2nd soul was convenient. When he was free he had to make one too.

His heart also slightly relaxed. During this over a month sitting on this tower, they didn’t only use their mouths to debate. The sword sect always used strength to fight for everything, using the sword to get what they wanted.

He mumbled to himself, “Finally settled it. However, why did this fellow agree just like that? He isn’t afraid to collude with our common people path, being said by others as working with the devil? Does this sword sect have the ambition to fight for that central emperor position?”

Shaking his head in confusion, that teen stood up. He yawned and stretched his body.

Looking down at the lightning above those spikes, getting thicker and thicker. He couldn’t help but scoff, causally stepping and cashing this ten thousand feet tower to shake. “I’m done! You don’t need to chase me, I’ll walk myself. Since that sword sect master has left I naturally have no reason to stay. He! If it wasn’t that your place can hide aura why will I come to your broken place? What stupid tower, so ugly! In the future, even if you beg me, I won’t come...”

Just as the giant tower crazily flashed numerous Flashes of Lightning about, the teen waved his sleeves, stepping out, one foot crossing hundreds of miles.

Surging in the cloud layer, he suddenly exclaimed. Closing his eyes, he entered deep thoughtful.

“King path secret technique? Zong Shou learned it. But this is difficult. He isn’t the god-emperor so why does he want his energy of the emperor for?”

He laughed bitterly, “Is it that the moment this kid enters our common people path must lose a treasure? This kid makes people worry about him.”

Without much worry, instead, his face was filled with joy.

...

2 days later, still Gantian Mountain peak. The top of Gantian mountain was originally really fluffy.

However, every since Zong Weiran built a city hear he leveled out most of the peaks, making a vast flat land that stretched ten thousand feet from north to south.

Behind the Chongzhen Hall was a palace of a large scale. However, although the buildings here seemed majestic, the decorations within were plain.

It let Zong Shou take a peek at how frugal his cheap father was when he was still Monster king.

The current Zong Shou sat in a warm room devoid of energy.

This place was where Zong Weiran dealt with usual administrative matters and could be considered a reading room. After Zong Shou inherited the throne, naturally he inherited this too and occupied this place.

However, at this time, he was frowning badly. This was the first time he felt that the Monster king, the role of city lord wasn’t so simple.

In 2 days, he was pretty much buried in leather and bamboo. That’s right, leather and bamboo.

In this era, paper was still extremely rare. All the races under Gantian Mountain, subordinate cities all used beast leather and bamboo to replace paper to write all their reports and books to reduce expenditure.

However, this was tough on Zong Shou whose body smelled of an earthly stench. Even if his hands had 5 thousand kilograms of strength, he felt numb from all the bamboos.

At this moment, the amount of beast leather and bamboos amassed in the room had a sky-high amount.

Although it was half a year of work because of a lack of city lord, one could see guess how heavy the workload of a city lord was.

He didn’t understand how Zong Weiran managed to run the 9 provinces so well whilst also being able to improve his martial arts so quickly.

Sighing, Zong Shou looked at Ruoshui who was passing him a piece of beast leather and said a few words. However, it was hoarse, unable to make much noise. In the end, he was helpless and used his hands to signal.

Ruoshui was confused, looking at Zong Shou’s hands dancing around. After a short while, she guessed, “The prince is saying to choose the important ones out?”

At this moment Zong Shou was so touched, he nearly teared up. This girl finally understood, what a difficult thing.

Su Chuxue at the side couldn’t help but burst out laughing, “Young master you are unprecedented. Your sky fox Uncle Zong might not be able to deal with you, but in the end, you injured your own throat. Young master, why did you randomly laugh for no reason?”

Zong Shou scoffed but no sound came out. He could only stare furiously at Chuxue to express his displeasure. This little brat had a bad memory. A few days ago this girl’s butt was taught a heavy lesson by him, yet this time she still acted so arrogantly. She was daring to mock her own young master?

“Young master’s voice should be changing. My uncle said that all kids are like that. Our Monster race merges with god beast blood, so we are a little different...”

Looking at Zong Shou’s throat, Chuxue was a little worried as she thought about how she might be like that in the future.

However, a moment later, she saw the threat in his eyes. She immediately thought of something and her eyes turned red. Following which she rolled her eyes, filled with coldness and a look of revenge,” but I have never seen anyone who smiled and laughed and made himself mute. I also heard that our throats have a remaining throat bone. Some people will recover in a couple of days. Some in months, some years. Some can never speak again in their life. Am I correct sister Ruoshui?”

Ruoshui was picking out the seemingly more important pieces of leather from the pile.

When she heard that, she nodded her head seriously.

Zong Shou was startled, worry appearing in his heart. In these 2 days, he used true qi to observe and there were, in fact, many throat bones, his voice also changed slightly. The situation didn’t look that bad.

However, as for when he could speak and make noise again, he wasn’t sure.

Would he take months and years to recover, and be mute for so long?

He was filled with regret. He was too gleeful that day on the altar.

Learning from others, silently and calmly acting cool was not bad. One didn’t need to laugh out loud to express one’s strength and majesty, that was too common!
