Chapter 425: Moth Flies into the Fire?

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Zong Shou’s eyes constricted, he knew that the common people path’s mysterious dragon warriors had 4 grades. It was said that their strengths were each different.

However, as for how many dao soldiers there were, no one knew.

Now that he heard it he felt more astonished. Xuan 7th unit. In other words, there were 6 units ahead of them in the Xuan category.

With each unit being made up of 150 people, there were at least a thousand Xuan level common people path mysterious dragon warriors!

The strength of a big sect was truly shocking.

“So it is commander Xuan Shu! My apologies...”

Nodding his head politely, Zong Shou swept around. He knew that most of the people here were waiting for him to mess up. Close to 90% of the elite disciples were waiting for him to embarrass himself by handling things badly.

He was lazy to bother, directly asking, “How much food and water did we bring? How many pills and talismans? Is it enough for 50 days?”

Xuan Shu’s eyes lit up, still expressionless, “There is enough food and water is enough for 40 days, along with hunting beasts along the way it would be enough to last over 50 days. As for pills and talismans, there is no need to worry. Our 7th unit brought 5 small heaven and earth bags, the resources within can last for 3-5 wars...”

Zong Shou nodded his head, he knew that the sect would handle all these stuff appropriately.

“Out of these 500 who is good at illusionary techniques? Who is good at hiding trails?”

“I have 10 Return to Sun spirit masters who are up to the task! As for the other 3 sects and 6 schools, the spirit masters sent are also adept.”

“This place is densely packed with people to not alert that Yuan Jiuchen early on is not easy. Does commander Xuan Shu have a plan for our route? When we set off and when we stop have you thought about it?”

On the side of Luoshi and Xie An, they were startled. There were some things they thought about and some that they didn’t.

Along the way to make it such that no one found out such that Yuan Jiuchen isn’t alerted, they had to have enough supplies to not come into contact with the nearby cities.

Xuanye was expressionless. She had met Zong Shou before and had conversed with him once.

She knew that this person was intelligent and that these things were nothing for this great great great great senior master.

However hearing what he asked, there were all keys for long-distance army travel. She suppressed her emotions and looked towards the teen with a lost expression.

Zong Shou asked a few words before stopping. He directly sucked a dried up broken branch from afar into his hand.

Following which he directly drew a map, which was the outline of the west of the central continent.

Within the cloud world, there were 5 continents and 12 islands. However, the central continent was bigger than the other 4 and 12 islands added together. It was 60 odd times the size of the Donglin Cloud Continent, extremely enormous.

After he completed the drawing, Zong Shou asked Xuanye, “Out of all the disciples who are good at speaking?”

Xuanye didn’t know what he meant, after thinking about it she opened her mouth and answered, “My junior sister Chenrou has often traveled widely and is good at speaking and communicating! A month ago you have met her...”

“Chenrou?”

Zong Shou looked back into his memory but he didn’t have much of an impression. However, he just nodded his head, “Let’s let her do it. I want her to visit the Qingxuan ocean region. There are many city lords there, we just need to convince one!”

Qingxuan Ocean region referred to a region near the Qingxuan Ocean. It wasn’t the cloud ocean but a real ocean in the central continent.

However, that place was mostly still in a barbaric stage. Most cities had just risen.

Following which Zong Shou made some simple lines on the map beneath his feet, “This is the Guangling Han Ocean. I remember that Hanling Sect’s mountain is nearby. Can we prepare some food and water every hundred miles on this line that I drew? This time the amount might be a little large...”

Guangling Han ocean referred to a giant desert that directly blocked the central dynasty such that they were unable to control the many cities of the West region. It was also a must pass route to get towards the Qingxuan Ocean region.

However, at this moment, the elite disciples selected by the common people path were in heavy discussions.

“Why did he make someone go to the Qingxuan ocean region? We are going to Yan City Pass to kill people. It is a hundred thousand miles away, what does it have to do with us?”

“Why is he arranging food and water at Guangling Han ocean? Are we going to spend some time in the Han Ocean? I don’t know what this Tanqiu is thinking.”

“I think senior brother Xie An and senior brother Luo won’t agree to this random order.”

The sound of discussions continued. Xie An and Luoshi all stared viciously at the people behind like they were looking at idiots.

It wasn’t tough to save those 3 million people. What was hard was ensuring that these people were able to live and survive after. How were they going to avoid the chase of the central dynasty?

Zong Shou’s plan was really wise, with great foresight.

Luoshi took a close look at Zong Shou in deep thought. Then he solemnly bowed, “The food and water of 3 million people, it isn’t much to our Hanling Sect. We will be able to arrange things!”

Xuanye also nodded, “I will instruct junior sister Chen to do the thing well. There are many places there that lack the population to mine and expand. It won’t be a problem to accept 3 million people!”

Zong Shou was delighted when he heard that, “That would be great. Oh right, calling me great great great senior master is a little inconvenient, next time just call me ‘first seat’.”

After he said those words he nodded his head towards Xuan Shu before casually boarding his carriage.

The 4 people outside instantly had a complicated expression. They felt a little disappointed whilst also heaving a sigh of relief.

At least the person leading them had thought things through. In terms of experience, he was much more experienced than those old people, unlike the total rookie that they expected.

Thinking back to the first seat 2 words that Zong Shou mentioned, Xie An and the other 2 felt a stab in their heart. Even Xuanye who had seen the skills of Zong Shou also had an angry expression in her eyes.

A moment later Xuanye arranged people to go on their way. She was experienced at this, not long later everything was done in an orderly manner.

The ten Return to Sun realm spirit masters all cast illusionary spells to cover all of them. Following which some people specialized in clearing up the tracks and marks left by them.

Although there were many people here, they were all commoners who can’t cultivate. As long as they traveled through the desolate mountains and wild ridges and were a little more careful, they would be able to hide from everything and sneakily travel tens for thousands of miles.

An hour after Zong Shou’s carriage followed along with this group of people, Zhao Yanran and Xuan Yunlan had approached him one after another.

“You don’t forget to enjoy yourself at every moment!”

Zhao Yanran looked about and noticed that the decoration of the carriage got more luxurious.

The temperature was comfortable and gave off a light fragrance. Not only was it filled with many spiritual formations to make one comfortable, but the walls were also strengthened. Moreover, there was a huge defensive spiritual formation, after making it more concise and small, it was carved onto the carriage.

To be able to craft this carriage, one had to be at least an artifact blacksmith grade 9 and above!

They needed to ride on horseback, eating and living exposed to the elements whilst Zong Shou could comfortably stay within this carriage and enjoy himself.

Zhao Yanran felt a little unbalanced, coldly mocking a few words. Following which her expression turned back to normal, “Do you know how many people here are waiting for you to mess up? Just now it was not bad and you didn’t lose face, as expected from the monster king of a country.”

Xuan Yunlan was worried, “Your highness standing out and traveling alone, the people from the sect won’t approve and it won’t be beneficial for this trip...”

Zong Shou was delighted and knew that Xuan Yunlan was simplifying her words. He knew the elite disciples were furious.

However he didn’t care about all this, a common people path first seat that popped up from nowhere was going to infuriate people.

This time Hanfang and grabbed his weak point and made him in charge of assassinating Yuan Jiuchen.

The fellow disciples were probably like volcanoes that were about to erupt.

Even if he was polite and mixed together with them, suffering altogether, he wouldn’t be able to buy their hearts. He also wouldn’t be able to ensure their strict compliance so rather than that, it was better to just enjoy his life.

He was finding things weird. For the sect to kill this Yuan Jiuchen, they only needed 1-2 elites which could coordinate well with him. Even if there was the matter of the 3 million Helian Iron Mountain people, there was no need to make things so complicated.

Bringing so many disciples who were at most 17-18 years old, people who had been cultivating diligently and haven’t shown their strength to the world, it would only spoil matters. What was the sect thinking?

Zhao Yanran also evidently didn’t understand, her brows furrowed for a moment following which she said towards Zong Shou, “Do you know who our true opponent is this time?”

When Zong Shou heard that, he carefully recalled memories regarding the death of Yuan Jiuchen. Following which his brows furrowed, “Is it Tailing Sect?”

He remembered that in the battle in God-Emperor, players who joined in the mission apart from those from common people path, most of them were from Tailing Sect. The number of casualties they suffered was only second to them. On the contrary, they were more eager than people from the central dynasty.

“It is the head of the Taoist sects, the top shrine Tailing Sect!”

Zhao Yanran treated the matter like something Zong Shou had heard about from the elders and wasn’t surprised. Her brows furrowing, a cold expression rising.

“You do know that in the past the Yan City Pass rebellion matter. Although Yuan Jiuchen was the main character, Tailing Sect was one of the masterminds. This sect created that Yan City Pass rebellion single-handedly! They used this matter and cause our common people path to lose close to 200 grade 6 experts in 20 years. Amongst them, there were also 2 grade 7 ones...”

Zong Shou’s heart instantly sunk and thought to himself that Yuan Jiuchen and Helian Iron Mountain was probably used by Tailing Sect as a campfire in the dark. To attract the flies which were people from the common people path.

This meant that this time Tailing Sect would interfere in this matter. There was also a possibility that they were waiting for them to go over and jump into the net.
