Chapter 638: Chapter 515: Bizarre + Chapter 516: Ambush

Gu Mingxiao and Fang Chengdong were secretly regretting that they couldn’t take control of the hundred thousand strong army of Guangyun County.

Now, although the situation in Yunzhou was very favorable and the Pei Family seemed to have no ambitions, even Xiao Yuanfang, the General dispatched by the Imperial Court, was sociable and did not domineer over others.

Under such circumstances, with the daily deterioration of the imperial governance, the Provincial Governor gradually became independent in military and administrative matters, soon history would repeat itself with the spectacle of heroes contending as it did a thousand years ago.

This time, Cloud Water Sect made their move first, and it wasn’t without chance to aspire for the supreme position; by then, the benefits they could reap would far exceed those from a thousand years ago, perhaps right now, the grandmasters within the Heavenly Cave Blessed Land of Cloud Water Sect had not yet reached consensus, but as long as these individuals pushed forward quickly enough to give people a glimpse of hope, they naturally would not hesitate to give it their all and make a strenuous effort.

The Four Immortals Sect, the Three Buddha Sect, and the Twelve Families also had to sort out their respective superiorities and inferiorities.

As the millennium era changes, who wouldn’t want to step further and make their Sect flourish?

Could the disciples of the Sect also receive more resources to accelerate their cultivation and advance further within their lifetime?

"It’s not that ’one family will not enter the same gate if they are not of the same household’. Now the door to Heavenly Cave is held by the Eastern Desolate City Lord; being near the water allows first access to the moon. Junior Brother Fang, you and Junior Brother Zhang and others, are destined not to relinquish the leadership."

Gu Mingxiao’s eagle-like piercing eyes seemed capable of discerning worldly affairs.

"In my opinion, that junior from Guangyun acts prudently and holds splendid strategies. Most importantly, this person has an extraordinary spirit and lofty ambitions, definitely not someone who would willingly remain subservient. Attempting to have him assist Zhang Zhongshu with a hundred thousand elite troops is futile."

Saying this, he sighed again.

"If we only talk about talents, or who could lead Cloud Water Sect’s forces further, it’s not that I, old Gu, want to throw cold water on it, but, in my opinion, Zhou Ping’an might be more suitable than Zhang Zhongshu."

"Isn’t that so?" Fang Chengdong’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, his tone elusive: "Amid the common populace, dragons and snakes rise on the land. Talent is not judged by noble ancestry. All life forms generate, superiority and inferiority all depend on Heavenly Destiny. But then again, talents may emerge from poor families, but in this world, there’s no day for them to rise. My Master is particularly protective; currently, he is yet unaware of Senior Brother Taiyan’s demise, should he learn his most favored third disciple died at the very inception of a great undertaking, who knows how furiously enraged he would be..."

Fang Chengdong referred to his master, the Eastern Desolate City Lord, yet in his mind emerged his master’s daughter, an ill-tempered, stoutly-built elder martial sister of tyrannical behavior, who had stood by their third senior brother for nearly a hundred years; should she learn of the latter’s death, it was certain to turn heaven upside down.

He could only hope, bearing in mind his own strenuous efforts during this time, with no merits but hard labors, that no undue blame would be transferred to others.

"Hehe, your elder martial sister..."

Gu Mingxiao also thought of this, and couldn’t help but laugh: "Zhang Zhongshu is not her genetic descendant, even if she treats others like her own and acknowledges him as her great-grandson, she likely won’t be too close; let us watch and respond accordingly, if all else fails, in Guangyun, it’s not impossible to extend a favor. When Zhou Ping’an reaches a dead end, perhaps it will be time to intervene..."

"That won’t do, Senior Brother Gu. You have Three Primordial Ancestor Master, a pinnacle expert of Late Stage Divine Martial, backing you up naturally without much concern. However, I dare not overstep my boundaries. My Master cannot tolerate the slightest fault; his strategies are absolute, and we as disciples must obey. Even voicing slight opinions counts as defiance."

Thinking of his master’s strict methods, Fang Chengdong’s eyes turned chilly, sending shivers down his spine.

As the third Spirit Tide approached.

The first batch of reinforcements from Cloud Water Sect, mainly cultivators from Desolate Eastern City extensively stationed in this realm, was imminent, and eventually, the Master might sit in Yunzhou himself. Every action now, even any slight mishap, could invite thunderous retribution; absolutely not to be underestimated.

"So pointless..."

Gu Mingxiao shook his head: "Opportunities and talents are both not appreciated. In my opinion, let alone flourishing, it wouldn’t be strange for Cloud Water Sect to inadvertently decline."

"Senior Brother Gu, speak cautiously."

Fang Chengdong replied unhappily: "All this talk, is it necessary to relate it to the rise and fall of the Sect over a novice disciple with a little talent and ability?

I have received news here; Brahma Temple has already dispatched a large army in collaboration with Jiangzhou Tang to suppress Guangyun, moreover, elders from Heavenly Cave have also been deployed... Perhaps tonight, we might hear news of Zhou Ping’an’s downfall."

His words had just fallen.

A figure rapidly shot up the mountain like an arrow.

"Report..."

Both turned their heads to see the newcomer was Han Fei, an Inner Sect Disciple from Cloud Water Sect’s Chongyang Peak, who was known to be a close confidant of Zhang Zhongshu, quite adept in some peculiar and ingenious skills, such as training birds and beasts, which he was quite skilled at.

Especially, the small birds like Red Sparrows and Gray Pigeons trained by him were exceptionally spirited, flying high and fast, making them extremely reliable in delivering messages.

Now, he managed the communication between Cloud Water Sect, sect doors, and various hidden agents.

"Disciple pays respects to the two grandmasters."

Han Fei raced forward, swift as a steed, and upon stopping, showed no blush or breathlessness, his Gang Qi was hidden within, and his eyes sparkled with contained brilliance, evidently having reached the Eighth Level Mortal Refinement with prospects of stepping into the Ninth, comprehending Martial Intent.

He was indeed a promising talent.

"Has the news from the battle at Guangyun City come out yet? Did Zhou Ping’an and Lin Huaiyu manage to escape unscathed? And Yu Changsheng, he didn’t participate in this battle, right? It would be a huge pity if he perished."
