Hanyan Palace, within a side hall.

2 girls in gowns stood in this empty side hall. Originally, this hall had 2 rows of seats, but after the 2 women came in, the guards here removed all the chairs in front of their faces which was why they could only stand here and wait.

Then, from early morning until noon, they still saw no sign of the prince.

Xuan Yunlan’s expression was helpless and she could only look into the sky. The one beside her was the Mother Zhang from that day, and her full name was Zhang Xin. In Quiet Cloud Pavilion, she acted as the procures.

However, she was a martial ancestor realm expert and in the external sect of Qingyin School, she had a high position.

At this moment she was filled with hatred, “This Gantian Mountain City lord is so arrogant! Although our Qingyin School doesn’t occupy a spirit house, it isn’t because we don’t have the power. After we say our name, he dares to humiliate us and make us wait!”

However as she said that her face still showed some hesitation,” Junior Sister are you sure that kid from that day is the new Gantian City lord? The ruler of a nation, the overlord of the west of Donglin, how can he just bring 2 xiantian brats to our Quiet Cloud Pavilion?”

“I shouldn’t be wrong!”

Xuan Yunlan swept at the empty hall without a single chair, bitterly smiling,” his age is around there. Like the rumors, he has no true qi and spiritual energy. As for the 2 maidservants, have Senior Sister Zhang heard of Ruoshui? She is both the shadow fox and sky fox bloodline and is best at hiding her cultivation. If she wanted to hide it, then no one would be able to see it. As for why he would come to Quiet Cloud Pavilion, how would I know? Maybe he can fight and kill Xuanwu ancestors and isn’t afraid of being assassinated.”

“Just him? Impossible!”

Zhang Xin curled her lips, thinking of that thin being unable to dodge a basin of water, she shook her head in disdain. Following which worry appeared on her face, “Junior Sister is it really is him then it’s going to be a problem.”

Xuan Yunlan was also helpless, if it was other powers it was still okay. However, this Gantian Mountain City was extremely strong in the normal world. In the Donglin Cloud Continent, it was enough to suppress Qingyin School.

If one isn’t a grade 7 realm expert, one was helpless about it.

And even if one was above the ascended and day wandering realm, Gantian mountain city probably didn’t need to care either.

All the ascended experts formed during the Monster race years, although lesser than the human race were more united.

Due to being threatened by the various sects they didn’t interfere in human world matters. But once there were ascended experts who attacked the Monster race, they would stop at nothing to take revenge.

Things regarding race were extremely sensitive. The common race path was deemed as a demon sect. Even if it was a proper path sect, they won’t be treated well.

Much less the reason the Gantian mountain city lord took out was upright and true and they had no way to fight back.

Sighing slightly, Xuan Yunlan wanted to return and not take such dirt upon herself. But the moment she thought about the group of girls gathered outside of the Quiet Cloud Pavilion, and she felt her head hurt.

Even if she returns she couldn’t clear it up. Those chattering scolding sounds were like a hundred thousand little sparrows, making it tough for one to calm down.

She couldn’t help but scold in her heart that this new ruler of Gantian mountain was too small-hearted.

Zhang Xin’s face also sunk. Her expression constantly changing. Her eyes flashed viciousness and then helplessness. Just one basin of water… and they didn’t do it on purpose. Did he have to do all this?

Thinking back to how that decree described-immoral, participating in prostitution, fury raised in her heart. The elegant reputation she spent so many years to build up in Gantian mountain was now destroyed.

If this city lord was that guy from yesterday then it was still fine. If he wasn’t then he would skin that Hu Zhongyuan alive.

Just as she was thinking about that, her eyes twitched as she heard some sounds. Then she saw a teen casually waltzing into the hall with a petite maidservant behind him.

Then a few servants moved in a large golden chair.

Zhang Xin’s eyes constricted, fury flashing in it, “It is you!” Her heart was slightly shocked for some reason. The prince gave her a different feeling from that night, an uncertain aura.

Zong Shou smiled, confidently sitting down on the golden chair. This chair was extremely uncomfortable and was just used to show off. However, he acted like normal, like he didn’t hear her words, slowly making a signal towards Chuxue for her to speak for him, “The young master says that you are from Qingyin Sect so why are you here? Get to the point, he has many things to do and doesn’t have much time to deal with you.”

Zhang Xin’s eyes opened wide and her chest felt like exploding.

Xuan Yunlan smiles slightly, giving a really elegant and delicate bow,” Qingyin sect’s Xuan Yunlan greets the city lord. The 2 of us came here first to apologize, secondly for Shili Ling Xiangding. The place is so cold and tragic, filled with girls with nowhere to go. Yunlan begs the ruler to take back your order.”

“Apologise? Why do you need to apologize, you all didn’t anger me.”

Zong Shou’s expression was one of loss and not understanding. Then, he raged and hammered the handle. He did a few hand signs and Chxuue furiously interpreted, “Closing and investigating Shili Ling Xiangding is our Gantian Mountain City policy and won’t be changed easily. Those girls are pitiful, but if our culture and way of life changes because of this and our city gets destroyed who will pity my Gantian mountain races? Does your Qingyin School want to interfere in my Gantian Mountain matters?”

Before this, he was calm but suddenly all of a sudden he was furious causing the 2 women in the hall to hold their breaths, totally mute.

Chuxue on the side smiled, her young master was acting again.

Xuan Yunlan was helpless, her face still a wide smile. Her originally really tempting body and face had at that moment suddenly seem a lot more so, “What happened that night is our Quiet Cloud Pavilion’s fault. Ruler, you are a big-hearted person and I think you will let us off. The ruler can you do me a favor and let Shili Ling Xiangding go?”

Her eyes were glowing brightly, making one’s heart sway.

Chuxue was stunned and attracted with just one glance. Just as she was about to agree, she heard a laugh. This time she didn’t need to interpret, he directly formed words, “Do you a favor? Who are you for me to do so? Just because of the skill you trained from the entertainment field, I don’t think that is enough.”

Those words seemed to be filled with an external force. Like a giant hammer tossed over in the air, smashing right at Chuxue’s heart, hammering her awake causing all illusions to disappear. The scenes in front of her all returned to normal.

On the other hand, Xuan Yunlan backed off several steps, her face flushing red and then turning ashen white.

She was originally feeling guilty. This was the first time she used the demon charm technique of the sect. Her 1st target was just a 14-year-old teen.

At this moment, she was filled with shock. This Monster king was unaffected. On the contrary, he just used a few words formed in the air to break it.

Those words were like a sharp sword stabbing directly into her heart.

She was also stunned. How could this Zong Shou Gather spiritual energy to form words in the air?

Then, she saw Zong Shou stand up and walk over in one stride, “You dare to use evil devilish techniques on me. You all are so bold!”

Then he waved his sleeves, a few maids understanding and carrying 2 wooden basins over.

Zhang Xin took a look, only to see that it was filled with clear water. She was at a loss and instantly understood. She stared in fury, “How dare you! Little kid, within 3 steps I’ll make you bleed!”

Her right hand held a sword and a sword aura rising. There weren’t any experts nearby and in 3 breaths she could suppress this evil teen, even if he seemed to have some mysterious ability.

However, in the next instance, a power ten times, a hundred times stronger than the true qi in her body suddenly suppressed over her.

The sword aura she formed was also forcefully smashed. The sword in her hand couldn’t be pulled out even if she wanted to.

Her body was pressed down by a few million kilograms of weight, her legs were sinking 2 inches into the ground. Her body let out the sound of bones cracking.

“This strength exceeds Xuanwu ancestor, is it ascended realm?”

Zhang Xin instinctively thought that there was an ascended ancestor that acted. A moment later she felt that it wasn’t right. She was unable to deduce the source of this pressure and her eyes instantly lose all anxiousness.

Under that huge pressure, her eyes were red, unable to focus on anything. She could roughly feel that there was a sword intent a hundred times stronger than hers which stopped in front of her eyes.

As long as she took a step forwards it could wipe out her body and her soul.

In that direction, only stood one person. It was Zong Shou.

Xuan Yunlan also couldn’t move. Her breathing getting heavier and heavier. With her martial ancestor peak cultivation, her situation was only slightly better than Zhang Xin.

Sword intent holding hostage, gathering the strength of a country, this was the secret technique of the path of the king…

All the rumors spreading around were mostly true! This Monster King’s sword path was one with the spirit.

She didn’t know how to react. She was so bold to use a demon charming technique in front of such an expert.!

“I am not a person who goes too far, I only going to do to you what you did to me!”

Zong Shou’s expression was really cold, calmly smiling, casually taking a basin and pouring it over Zhang Xin’s head.

Then he poured the other one over Xuan Yunlan. The liquid flowed down, directly drenching her whole body. He casually threw the basin away and dusted his hands, returning to sit on the golden chair.

Whilst the aura dissipated, his face regained a gentle smile like nothing had happened at all.

Zhang Xin just regained her strength as she pulled out her sword. Her tips gritted tight and blood was about to deep from the corner of her lips.

However, when she looked at Zong Shou at the still ice-cold gaze, her heart jolted. Like a bucket of water was poured once more and all thoughts of revenge were swiftly removed.

She knew that at this place the newly appointed Gantian Mountain Monster king just needed to use one finger to kill her!

Xuan Yunlan was similarly so furious that her body trembled, her face turned green, “you humiliate us like this today. Aren’t you afraid our Qingyin School would take revenge?”

When Zong Shou heard that he smiled, his eyes revealing a sharp gaze like it could pierce everything, “It will just be a battle, what do I have to fear?”
