Chapter 681: Qilin King Beast

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Just as Wuji's spear shadow was 150 feet away, the 6,400 Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry were about to arrive.

 Xiaori suddenly lowered himself, giving out a low roar. His four hooves blazed into flames.

 Zong Shou was shocked. Following this, the thousands of Xuan Flame Golden Qilin Beasts along with Wuji's Fire Stepping Purple Gold Qilins panicked, their footsteps becoming chaotic as they gave out terrified shrieks.

 They were originally in an orderly manner, the army with a menacing aura, but they instantly became a huge mess.

 They should have been connected as one, but their collective intent and energy instantly collapsed. The vast suppression was totally gone now.

 Zong Shou's brow rose up, a moment later he understood what was going on.

 He knew that this was Xiaori's pure Qilin blood suppression which caused such a scene.

 He couldn't help but laugh out loud, shocking the wilderness. These Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry swept the world unrivaled but his little puppy was the one to counter them.

 He wanted to use his own body to stop them, to go all out even if he suffered heavy injuries to drag until the Blood Cloud Cavalry arrived. Who knew that he would have such a surprise today.

 The purity of this Fire Qilin was even higher than what he expected!

 He didn't care and the sword in his hand changed from defense to attack. A Dragon-like sword light slashed diagonally down, piercing right through Wuji's heavy spear shadow.

 The Flying Sword was broken and then he sliced upward. Wuji's body flew up from the mount and he was sliced into half.

 Sword Light exploded, numerous blade shadows covered forward, enveloping thousands of feet around.

 Blood and flesh sprayed into the air and close to a hundred Cavalry's throats were sliced.

 At this moment, Xiaori roared once more, shocking everything within 100 miles.

 On this large path, including the thousands of reserve mounts, the 20,000 Xuan Flame Golden Qilin all trembled and fell to the ground. No matter how their masters spanked them they weren't willing to move.

 The entire Cavalry Army lost their aura, looking at each other in shock.

 Although Wuji's body was broken, he wasn't dead yet. Looking at the situation, his pupils constricted and he stared right at the little puppy on Zong Shou's shoulder.

 “Qilin!”

 It was also the most noble King of the Qilins!

 For the 20,000 Xuan Flame Golden Qilin yield, even if one's bloodline was high and pure it was impossible.

 Qilin grew from eating energy. Only by sucking on human or beast King Energy could it truly grow to become the king of a race!

 However, beasts fought one another so the Qilin was one of the Beast Kings and it definitely couldn't accompany another.

 As for Emperors and Kings, it was tough for the King Energy to be pure and flawless. The Qilin would reject it so that was even more impossible…

 He suddenly thought about something as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

 Daoling Vast Habitat still had 200,000 Xuan Flame Golden Qilin Beasts! Each sect and faction had no less than a million Qilin related mounts in total.

 All beasts in the world were restricted by their ancestor's bloodline.

 This was why the sects considered things before building Dao Soldiers. For example, Common People's Path used Silver Scale Wind Stepping Beasts which were a mix of many God Beasts' blood. Their fighting power was slightly weaker but when a God Beast suppressed them, they weren't that badly affected.

 Tailing Sect's Purple Cloud Sword Cavalry used the Purple Winged Lizard, an ancient giant lizard that disguised itself as a Dragon. They were pretty much wiped out by the Dragon Race, even if some remained they wouldn't be much of a problem.

 Their Taoist Sect chose the Xuan Flame Golden Qilin Beast which was formed by mixing several Qilin bloodlines.

 They guessed that there wouldn't be any Qilin King blood appearing.

 Out of all the Grade-6 Dao Soldiers, their combat strength was the strongest.

 However, if Zong Shou had this beast…

 It was a calamity, a huge calamity!

 The more he thought about it, the more shocked he was, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!

 Zong Shou was too lazy to bother with this person as he looked into the distance. A blood-colored speck was sweeping over. On closer inspection, it was a Cavalry Army, close to 5,000 strong. The two at the helm who held halberds were Zong Yuan and Yin Yang.

 So quick!

 Zong Shou was shocked and then also relieved. To fight 7,000 Cavalry alone, the pressure from that was no joke.

 If he missed one sword he would be at risk of dying.

 With the arrival of those 5,000 the dust really settled.

 Looking forward once more at the thousands of cavalry who could only walk, Zong Shou had an idea.

 Humans were never satisfied, neither was Zong Shou.

 He was originally planning to wipe them all out but now he was thinking of how to take down those 20,000 mounts.

 With so many close to Grade-5 Mounts, his Second Cavalry Army who could compare to Grade-6 Dao soldiers would be able to be built.

 “Ruoshui!”

 Along with his call, a teen appeared behind him.

 She was always standing there protecting his back. However, the thousands of cavalry weren't able to notice anything.

 “Send my orders, destroy all Temples under Daoling Sect! All Cultivators above Grade-2, kill them all! You can destroy and prohibit statues. Half a year later, anyone who teaches Taoist Scriptures will be punished for three years, Cultivators will be instantly beheaded! Tell the world that between Daoling Vast Habitat and I, only one can survive!”

 It was like tens of thousands of arrows were piercing Wuji's heart. He didn't know whether Zong Shou was especially saying it for him to hear but he felt his heart sink to the bottom of his stomach.

 The moment this decree went out, both sides were really going to fight to the death. If the 7,000 Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry were all wiped out here, Daoling Vast Habitat would be in their worst state in thousands of years.

 He clenched his fists and barely regained some energy.

 “Banning my sect, destroying Temples and slaying my disciples! Doesn't Ruler think that is too much? My Daoling Vast Habitat is in the wrong but my disciples are innocent…”

 Zong Shou scoffed coldly. If he died today then what would happen to his wife and race members?

 In this world who could say that he was wrong?

 He waved and sliced off Wuji's head.

 This Heaven and Earth, this world was clean…

 Sandalwood Essence spread about, white smoke which could calm the senses lingered in the room.

 However, it was unable to lessen the serious atmosphere here even a single bit.

 Yinyu's face was dark and sunken as he looked at the door in a daze.

 Although it was the start of September, for some reason, it was snowing in the Imperial City. However, he was in no mood to enjoy the scenery.

 He was in seclusion at Qianlong Mountain before being interrupted. Following this, after he returned and learned about the matter, he was in such a state. He was startled as he looked outside, not knowing what he was thinking about.

 Although it was snowing, the sky was covered in dark clouds. One couldn't see the sun nor the moon but there was a lone star which was shining bright in the thick cloud layers, standing out in the night sky.

 It was Alkaid, one of the three malefic stars which represented Army Breaking…

 However, in the eyes of the people in the room it was really blinding.

 “Which means that Kong Yao's fate wasn't dragging us down but we were dragging her down?”

 Yinyu finally spoke up after who knows how long.

 The officials to the side kept silent. Only Zhongxuan with a grey and defeated face replied, “Yes!”

 Protecting the fate of Great Shang was his job. He rested for half a night and his injuries were much better, at least he could go out and see people.

 “This woman resonates with Alkaid, but her fate was tough to read. It could only show her holding the power of a Commander and leading millions.”

 When he said this Yinyu starting laughing, but there was no joy at all. Instead, his tone was cold and mocking.

 “This woman is a Matchless Famous Commander, an above-average General Talent but she could command huge armies. She should have been a pillar of our Great Shang but I personally pushed her out?”

 The people within the hall all had bitter expressions. Zhongxuan's expression was one of the worst, saying bitterly, “I was useless, failing to read her…”

 Yinyu shook his head. Divination was always hard to predict the truth.

 If one believed in fate, then how could one rule the country?

 He himself didn't believe much in fate. He was the reason why such a talent was let go.

 As a ruler being unable to have an eye for talent, just because she had average results, he had underestimated her.

 Thinking back, her management of troops and her ability to grasp situations was really precise.

 What was even more amazing was that Zong Shou, that Small Country Monster King actually had such an eye.

 He plotted to cheat her to Gantian, even decisively handing millions of troops to her.

 A few months ago he was already regretting. However, now it was already too late for that.

 Originally he was patient and waited for her to grow before giving her a chance to command an army.

 However, why did he miss such a chance?

 Yinyu's eyes flashed sharply.

 That's right, it was the Kong Family.

 If not for them forcing that father and daughter every day, Gantian sending messages to rush the marriage, maybe he wouldn't have made such a decision.

 Zhongxuan was a cornerstone of the country. Even if he made a misjudgment there were reasons for that and he wasn't in the wrong. He also did nothing wrong, only the Kong Family was wrong.

 This Aristocratic Family had nefarious intentions, colluding with the Yang Family, they deserved to die!

 “Send my decree, Imperial Astronomer Kongli is too casual when doing things, speaking too many preposterous words, demote him to supervisor…”

 Just as he said this, he saw Internal Affairs Junior Supervisor Gaoruo walk in holding a few message talismans, his face in a daze.

 His brow rose as he asked, “Was there news from the east, what happened?”

 Gaoruo immediately came back to his senses, solemnly bowing, “I heard that Zong Shou and Kong Yao used mirage to shine light to counter the enemy, defeating the Night Demon Army and killing a million! The Blood Cloud Cavalry suffered no losses, only 40% of the two million died.”

 Yinyu's hand trembled and then his voice turned serious.

 “Kongli will he demoted to Directorate of Astronomy and Calendar Academician, Kong Xuan has lost troops and humiliated the country, capture him and behead him!”
