Divine Brilliance

Chapter 1105: Exchange Spoils

Just as he was about to hand the jade bottle to the four of them, his eyes flashed. He kept them into his sleeves and he saw the earth layer flip. Two blade lights flashed.

The blade light was exceptionally quick and reached instantly. It aimed at Zong Shou’s right hand.

If he had not noticed it in time, those two blades would have been enough to slice off his arms!

The blade light failed and instantly retracted back towards the ground. Zong Shou wasn’t willing to let it off just like that. The white sword of his swept down into the layer below.

“Stay!”

The sword energy that surged out caused the dirt around to scatter. In just an instant, dozens of extremely sharp sword energies charged down.

They locked onto those few auras and cut off their retreat path. Every living being underground was sliced apart and turned into dust.

Just a few moments later, three people appeared from another part of the ground, their faces were ashen white.

As expected, they were forced out by Zong Shou’s sword energy and the other reason was that they had no lifeforce.

“So it is Nether Princess!”

Zong Shou’s brow rose up. The three people ahead of him, one of them was his past Senior Sister Gong Xinran, the current Nether Emperor’s daughter.

As for the other two, one was Lian’er and the other was Gumie.

When the two of them saw him, they had weird expressions on their faces. They seemed both helpless but also respectful. It wasn’t pure fear of his sword techniques but included some other emotions.

Anyway, they were just unwilling to be enemies with him and were really afraid of him. Just now when he attacked, they didn’t dare to fight back at all such that he was totally surprised.

However, Zong Shou was lazy to bother about them and looked directly at Gong Xinran.

“Sneak attacking, is Princess going to be enemies with me? Today, I will need an explanation from the three of you!”

Since he was now an Emperor, he had to change how others addressed himself. Based on what Kong Rui said, if he didn’t he would end up affecting his destiny.

However, Zong Shou always felt weird calling himself “Emperor”, unless it was a special occasion, otherwise, he rarely used it.

When he used it while dealing with country matters, it meant that he was very annoyed.

The three of them could sense the killing intent in Zong Shou’s voice.

Gong Xinran’s brow rose up and rage appeared in her eyes. However, thinking back to what happened just now, her eyes were filled with helplessness.

During these few years, her strength increased by leaps and bounds. Her two subjects also were aided by the Spiritual Wave and they improved by several grades.

However, during the battle, Zong Shou’s sword sent them into despair, they had no chance of winning at all.

She could communicate with the Nether World now. In this place with thick vengeful energy, she could even use the power of the Nether Emperor to fight with her opponents. She didn’t even fear normal Saint Realm Experts.

However, the identity of the person in front of her…

Thinking about it, her gaze became firm. She said coldly and expressionlessly, “Just now, dozens of miles wide I saw people tracing your tracks using the Scent Thief Spiritual Sense Bug. Is this news enough of an explanation? If you want to know more, then give me 100 drops of Creation Death Fountain water.”

Zong Shou was stunned, thinking to himself that there really were people plotting against him. The Scent Thief Spiritual Sense Bug was a special insect used by the Demon Path people at the southwest of the Cloud World. It could recognize the scent and just needed a bit of Spiritual Sense to be able to trace a person.

Even if they were tens of thousands of miles away, they would be able to find him, there was pretty much no way to escape it.

However, they were really rare, and at most one or two existed together in the world at the same time.

He was slightly shocked, shaking his head without a change in expression, “As long as I take the three of you down, I will find out about it!”

“Impossible!”

Gong Xinran clenched the blade in her hand. In the past, the Geng Metal Energy that she was prepared to make into a blade was stolen by Zong Shou. The two bone blades she had were top Celestial Weapons from the Nether World.

At this moment, she was like a leopard that was being threatened, ready to explode.

This was the helplessness of being weaker than others. Even if Zong Shou showed a little bit of intent, she had to fully focus and deal with it.

“Yuan Demon Seven Emotion Technique can reduce anger. While I can also cause the 1.2 million corpses to immediately revive! If you don’t believe me you can test it out.”

It was Zong Shou’s turn to be shocked. If someone else said it he wouldn’t have believed it.

However, this Nine Yin Nether Witch did have the ability to revive the dead. In the north, these few years, the three of them had built an undead army. All of them, were revived Xiantian cultivators, a total of 200,000 of them.

Like she was afraid he didn’t trust her, a green glow appeared in her eyes.

Above the cave, Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed.

Without needing the latter to remind him, Zong Shou could sense that in the tomb room not far away, the cracks outside of the Terracotta Warriors suddenly grew bigger. The vengeful energy seemed like they could break out at any moment.

Although the 1.2 million didn’t have the ability to harm them, if they all revived, he would find it tough to deal with them.

It seemed like he really couldn’t handle her today.

He decisively kept his God Refined Sword and he took 30 drops of fountain liquid and tossed it over.

“30, there is no chance of anymore!”

They obtained much Death Fountain Water, apart from Chuxue and him using it on the Darkness Blooming Cereus, he didn’t have much other use for it.

Yuan Wushang was the same. Shen Yuexuan might have some use for it while crafting and Su Xiaoxiao could use it to train her Soul Power to strengthen her seven emotion technique, however, she didn’t need much of it either.

This item was very useful to the three in front of him. Just 30 drops was something Zong Shou didn’t care much about.

“If you want to be unreasonable, then I don’t mind fighting here. Even if I expend some resources, I will take the three of you down!”

After Gong Xinran picked up the liquid, she hesitated a little. Zong Shou’s eyes became sharper and sharper, he was obviously not going to give in.

She could only scoff and agree to it. Then she asked with a probing expression, “However, this liquid has very little use to you. I have many spiritual items here, can we exchange?”

Zong Shou smiled, that would depend on what kind of price she was willing to pay.

The liquid hadn’t appeared in 2,000 years, its preciousness was top of the world and many corpse crafting sects and Demon Path Cultivators dreamt of it.

To the three of them, its price was hard to evaluate and was something dreamlike.

Even someone like him who wasn’t good at doing business knew that he would be able to make a killing today.

Not only him, but the other few above all exchanged glances with one another and smiled.

※※※※

Six hours later, Zong Shou who was far from that tomb room, had a solemn expression on his face.

The trade had ended four hours ago and most of the liquid was exchanged.

The three of them had scoured a room and 300,000 armors, 10 general sets fell into his hands.

Shen Yuexuan exchanged many crafting materials as well as ancient artifact manuals.

Many legacies of the Cloud Desolate Era weren’t around in the Cloud World but they were spread about in the Nether World.

20%, he had exchanged 240 drops of liquid for many good items, making Shen Yuexuan satisfied.

Su Xiaoxiao and Yuan Wushang also exchanged for a large amount of resources. Although the Nether World was said to be a poor place, there were some products that the Cloud World couldn’t compete with.

For example, Vengeful Essence was produced where numerous dead people gathered. It was something that helped Su Xiaoxiao’s technique.

Just this alone made this trip worth it.

However, Zong Shou was unhappy as the sense of danger that had disappeared became much stronger.

“Night Demon Race two Saint Realm, seven God Realm and also many Shadow Demon Experts. They really think of me really highly.”

Zong Shou’s eyes squinted and he was filled with many questions.

“Demon Path, Night Demon, and Shadow Demon Races have joined hands? What was the reason? They didn’t care about the agreement and wanted to work with those two races to kill me?”

What made him even more weirded out was that the Taoist Faction and Confucian Factions weren’t contacted and the Demon Path went alone.

That Wushang Yuan Demon seemed totally fearless that once it ended and Zong Shou was killed that Common People Path would fight back.

If Xiuguan went all out, then even Taishi Demon Lord might not be able to protect hin,

Taoist Faction and Confucian Faction would be glad to look on from the sides.

Apart from that, there was still the Lu Family. Before he openly rejected them, at least the two Saint Venerables wouldn’t take this lying down.

The key points within were things that Wushang Yuan Demon should be clear about.

Unless he was half a step to True Realm, Li Biexue didn’t have the ability to do so.

Did he have other plans? Or was it that his subjects and the people of Demon Path were acting on their own?

It was said that Hanqing was also present. Was he provoked by the hatred of him stealing his wife? Such that he went all out and joined hands with the alien race.

That was a huge no-no. Even the Demon Path couldn’t take the impact of that. Everyone in the world would attack them.

The six factions fought against one another, only against alien races did they have to work together.

They could harm one in the dark and be unhappy with one another but they definitely couldn’t collude with the enemy.

Unfortunately, Gong Xinran wasn’t able to see much and what she knew was limited.

She only knew that there were four or more true Saint Realm Cultivators.

“Your Majesty, if it is really as she said, then we have to change our plan from before…”

Shen Yuexuan’s face was filled with worry as he looked forward. The main tomb was 10 miles away.

The original plan was to obtain the treasures of the side tomb and then break the formations here to enter.

However, if they went all out now, what could they do once those four Saint Realm Venerables chased them?
