Chapter 571: 569 Sky Fox Emperor Race

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The Imperial Capital...

Emperor Yuanchen’s brows furrowed tightly, sizing up the atlas in front of him. He had used four reign titles, the latst one was Yuanchen.

His name was Yinyu, but the common people couldn’t directly call out his name, and could only call him using his reign title.

That picture was of the entire Cloud World, the Five Continents and the Twelve Islands.

In the east, that Cloud Continent had totally turned red.

“Longxiang Mountain City has also been broken?”

Although he was asking a question, no one in the hall replied. Be it the Internal Affairs Junior Supervisor Gaoruo or Zhongxuan, they really didn’t know the exact situation in Donglin Cloud Continent.

Yinyu didn’t mind much, only he had seen this message talisman from the east, and had just subconsciously blurted it out.

Sighing, Yinyu’s eyes squinted, filled with emotions. “The moment Longxiang Mountian City falls, Donglin is totally in the hands of that kid. This kid is just coming of age and has taken over in less than four years. If I had such a kid, I would die without regrets. The fate of Great Shang would remain prosperous...”

His tone was of indescribable envy, however moments later his tone changed, filled with a cold intent.

“Has that Gantian Mountain Zong Shou received the marriage letter?”

Gaoruo bowed slightly, “It has already been sent over, and Gantian Mountain seems to have no intentions to reject.”

“Hah! He probably couldn’t wish for more!” Yinyu scoffed in disdain, filled with a mocking intent. “This Zong Shou actually targeted my favored general. To destroy my good general, how despicable...” Even if he knew that most of those rumors in Donglin were fake, there was nothing he could do about it.

Even if Kong Yao returned, she probably wouldn’t be able to gain a footing in the army, so it was better that she didn’t return at all.

“Your Majesty has thousands of great generals, who cares about this Kong Yao?”

The person who spoke was the Grand Commandant, sitting on a chair and shaking his head. “This Kong Yao was often really stable and safe when she went to war, wasting resources and labor. Although she is a good general, she isn’t outstanding. Anyways, she is a woman and doesn’t have the decisiveness and steel of men. Moreover, she is too beautiful!

“I think that since the Gantian Mountain king is lustful that is a good thing. At least this kid has a weakness, looks will be able to harm him, reducing his heroic spirit. Although the kid is good now, but as for the future, there is still a lot of time for things to change...”

Yinyu’s brow furrowed. Donglin was far to the east of the Cloud Continent, separated by ten thousand miles of cloud ocean. Unless Zong Shou tried to invade the Central Continent, no matter what happened to that kid, it had nothing to do with Great Shang.

However, ever since he sent over that marriage letter, placing his seal on it, he occasionally felt terrified, like he had made a huge mistake.

Today it was worse. After half a day, he was still unable to calm himself down.

Even thinking carefully about it, he was still unable to find out the reason why.

Zhongxuan nodded slightly, “Your Majesty doesn’t need to bother so much! This woman’s fate is really ordinary and she is destined to die early. Recently her brow brought a bad sign, her life will go downhill. Her fate was also filled with platinum energy, so her life will be filled with killing. There is also a thread connecting her with Great Shang. With her here, she would definitely drag down our Great Shang, causing our country’s strength to weaken. She is definitely not a good choice for being an official. However, we still need to calm down and settle the Kong family...”

Yinyu’s brows rose up, and only then did he calm down.

“Kong family? When I ascended to the throne I owed them a favor. I promised that when I was the emperor I would let one of them hold military power. When looking at their people, only Kong Yao was suitable. Instead they grumbled that I didn’t use one of their direct disciples and instead chose a girl. Bah, they really don’t know their position! Forget it! Since they want it, then I’ll give it to them...”

Smiling coldly as he said those words, Yinyu casually asked once more, “Did Gantian Mountain agree to send troops?”

While he spoke, Yinyu was looking at the area between Donglin and the Central Continent on the map. Near the Central Continent, there were many black dots.

This time Gaoruo was more respectful when he answered, “Gantian Mountain hadn’t replied, but they didn’t give a clear rejection. I heard that the Court of Colonial Affairs is already thinking of a way to invite Wujue Mountain and Haoxuan Sect to persuade them. I heard that those three sects have a really good relationship with Zong Shou. This matter involves Gantian Mountain’s survival and ours, he wouldn’t be so irrational! Gantian Mountain is probably dragging things out to obtain more benefits from our Great Shang.”

When he heard that last sentence, Yinyu laughed, really pleased and satisfied. He had expected the situation was as such.

His expression turned dark and sunken. He hated the sects for having no ruler nor father. The Haoxuan Sect was slightly better, but if they faced a life or death matter, or Great Shang was leaning too hard on them, they would be like the other sects and fight for their own survival.

However, things in this world were just like that. He hated it, but sometimes he had no choice but to use them.

Just as he thought of this point, his brow furrowed once more. That terrified feeling didn’t subside after Zhongxuan’s words, instead becoming more and more serious.

As for Zhongxuan, he suddenly stood up, his gaze filled with disbelief and shock.

Something bad had happened. It seemed to have happened from the east, from within the country’s capital, making it tough for one to tell the direction.

Fengshui and fate divination were like that. Even someone whose attainment was as high as his wasn’t able to make a correct deduction.

——

Somewhere in the Cloud World, a certain void fissure...

A exquisitely handsome young man was speeding swiftly through the spiritual river. Not much later he even directly broke through a space pillar, stepping into the chaotic void. In just a short moment he found something similar to a palace, but also like a large boat.

It was located within the space layers, unable to seen with the naked eye. When the young man stepped into this location, he had arrived.

Walking on the luxuriously decorated ship, the hundreds of warriors dressed in spiritual artifacts all half-knelt as he walked by.

If the Donglin Cloud Continent cultivators were here they would definitely notice that even the most normal servant here was Grade Four Xiantian.

All the warriors in spiritual armor were Grade Six and above, which was the so-called Grade Six dao soldiers. With no exception, they all had characteristics of the fox race.

The young man was used to it, not bothering at all. He stepped into the lower floor and pushed open the door to one of the halls.

At this moment, the difference to the ship was that only this place didn’t have any decorations or luxurious daily objects. It gave off an elegant and clean aura.

The moment he opened the door the young man heard a voice rose up. “Is it Mofei?”

The old voice had a penetrating power far stronger than normal people, like that of a needle piercing the heart.

The young man instantly bowed. “It is Xue Mofei!”

Beyond the hall doors, it was pitch black. Even with Xue Mofei’s cultivation, he was unable to see the situation within, his eyes filled with respect.

“Openly going to spy on that Zong Shou, you really are bold.”

He continued to scold, “If it wasn’t for me being on alert, even if you used the Illusionary Heart Mirror to cover your tracks, you would have been noticed by him. Are you determined to spoil my plans before you stop?”

Xue Mofei didn’t dare to argue, keeping silent. He only wanted to know what kind of person who had assassinated Xue Moyan and ascended the throne at such a young age was.

“Did you gain anything from this trip?”

“Yes!” Xue Mofei kowtowed to the ground, “When I was at Gantian Mountain City, looking at the people and the races, they all adore him. The Zong family direct bloodline has been wiped out, leaving only some fortunate ones who all surrendered. Those Blood Cloud Cavalry are extremely strong. Our Xue Family probably came too late. It wouldn’t be easy to win back the power from the Zong family...”

“Which means that we can’t take any advantage of Zong Shou?” That voice was filled with anger, his intent like a raging wave surging out from the depths of the room.

Xue Mofei’s expression didn’t change, shaking his head slightly. “To outsiders it is indeed so! However, for our Xue family, it might not be the case. After all, he is the Sky Fox bloodline. As long as we act on the bloodline, if the method used is good, Zong Shou can be used by our race. However, this kid has the Sky Burning blood, and we need to solve that first. If not, our Xue family blood won’t be able to suppress him!”

“Attack the bloodline? Based on what you said, you want me to reduce my own lifespan?”

The voice was flat, but filled with a questioning intent. Xue Mofei didn’t dare to argue, staying on the ground.

Luckily that voice turned gentler, “Forget it! Seven-tail blood originally could only be suppressed by the nine-tail race. If my Xue family can return to the Cloud World, what is five hundred years of lifespan? That Zong family probably treats Gantian as an iron bowl they managed. It seems like we have to let them know that only our Xue Family is the Sky Fox imperial race!”

Xue Mofei instantly stood up, his eyes shining with joy. Then he frowned, filled with new worry. ” I am worried about that Dragon Shadow and Aokun! Zong Shou’s strength is also great. Spirit Realm cultivators can’t enter the Cloud World, so we can’t do anything about him. That Blood Cloud Cavalry isn’t ordinary. He could even go up against Shenxiao and bring him down...”

The voice was filled with cold disdain, “Dragon Shadow, Aokun? What is there to fear? There are too many methods to restrict them. Aren’t you worried about the Sky Burning blood of Zong Shou?

“There is no need to care, you are just too knowledgeable. That is actually the most lethal weakness he has. We don’t need to be worried about the Blood Cloud Cavalry. Before our Xue family elite dao soldiers are all here we will have already snatched Gantian Mountain!” he stated arrogantly.

Gantian Mountain’s Hanyan Palace, within the wide Chongzheng Hall...

Zong Shou exhaled a mouthful of air onto a squarish jade. He pressed it down, and instantly a fresh red seal formed on the yellow silk document.
