The fleet spent another 2 days in the canyon before they set off once more.

During that 2 days, the total amount of items they cleared out from those mountains of corpses and oceans of blood was as what Chai Zhou had estimated, reaching 3.6 million grade 4 beast crystals.

As for the rough loses of Taoyun City, it had also been estimated. A total of 3800 cloud ships were sunk, and less than 10% of them survived.

Based on how a three-tooth cloud ship could ferry around 400 soldiers at the very least, at least 1.4 million elite soldiers were wiped out here by the beasts.

The only one that made everyone feel regretful was that they didn’t see the bodies of Yue Guanyun, Feng Nu and Xiong Ba. Who knows whether or not they were dead or if they had managed to escape.

However, Zong Shou didn’t care much about it. He also didn’t hope that his plan could kill these 3 people.

A lord of a city, a person controlling several provinces of land will always have some trump cards on them. Even if they couldn’t beat those grade 7 beasts, to allow them to escape was not a problem.

Leaving the beast tomb that was already swept dry, the fleet didn’t proceed to any other place.

At this point, the various ships, all of its space was shoved full with precious beast corpses and materials. They were afraid of Long delays giving rise to complications, afraid that things might happen. Which was why everyone had the same idea and didn’t want to remain beneath this cloud ocean and delay any more time.

Zong Shou also had some worry that Yue Guanyun and the others would have some schemes when they returned. These few people were all really old and cunning people and were just careless to fall into his trap. When they come to their senses they might have a counter-attacking plan, which was why he followed the intentions of everyone and went full speed to return.

One could also train troops here. Allowing soldiers to be trained in life or death battles. Every year, there would be numerous people who advance because of this. However, they didn’t have the time or the conditions now. Especially after all the arrows were used, grain was abandoned to make space to carry beast corpses.

When they returned, the ship was several times heavier, however, its speed wasn’t much slower. All the ships used beast crystals without any care at all to activate the floating spiritual formation to increase speed.

Zong Shou also didn’t stay in his sleeping palace. That place was already occupied by a Xuanyuan Yiren.

The palace that he spent so much gold to decorate had become her pill room. This time they had obtained numerous materials from the beast tomb. Even Pill Fountain Sect didn’t have which made her eager to try out Pill refining some rarely seen pills.

That place was surrounded by smoke Everyday. Moreover, Xuanyuan Yiren didn’t allow him to look on from aside in case she got distracted.

Hence Zong Shou could spend an entire day on the deck.

Under the huge sky covering umbrella, Zong Shou gritted his teeth. Smashing a pill the size of a dragon eye in his mouth into dust. He instantly felt a cooling sweetness in his mouth. There was also a fragrance which drilled into his nose. Causing his entire heart to be enchanted. His energy was unusually full and his soul power was energized.

Excited and clearheaded, Zong Shou’s mind merged these 2 different mental states.

Looking at the few soul stones in his hand, his eyes became even sharper. Like he could discern all the flaws of the structure of the beast soul within.

This was specially chosen from numerous soul stones, a broken mountain bear beast soul stone.

At this moment Zong Shou was prepared to let this protector beast that he called “Little Yao” to evolve.

When Little Yao was still alive, it was grade 6. When made into a beast soul it dropped to grade 5. It was a demon eye silver beast mutated from a broken mountain bear.

What Zong Shou needed to do was to select suitable beast soul stones to use a secret technique to let it swallow them. Naturally, there was a requirement in terms of number. Same grade soul stones normally won’t exceed 20, whilst higher grade ones would just need 3.

Advancing the grade of soul beasts were just so simple. As long as one was rich enough and one could control it then raising the grade was a simple matter.

However, in just the broken mountain bear soul stone there were hundred of just grade 6 stones alone. There were even 2 grade 7 ones. Naturally, he was going to pick the best to cause the best to awaken its consciousness using the lowest amount.

“Zong Shou, you just ate the ice energy soul mind pill?”

The person who asked was Zhao Yanran. She said as she looked at the pill bottle beside Zong Shou which was on top of that table. Every 30 minutes Zong Shou would take one.

Before this Zhao Yanran didn’t pay much attention until she realized the color and scent was the same as the legendary Pill Fountain Sect pill which was when she started to pay more attention.

At this moment Zong Shou did feel a chill sense in his chest which was one of the effects of the pill. However, along with that lightning glow exploding, that chill disappeared, turning into a comfortable heat.

When he heard that he raised his head in shock, “You recognize this pill?”

Zhao Yanran’s heart tightened, it is that pill. This as high as grade 3, effects could be compared to grade 4 Pill was famous in the cloud world. As long as one was a cultivator how would one not recognize it? Looking at the situation, its quality was also not ordinary.

However, Zong Shou was using one every 30 minutes, treating it like candy. He was pretty much trampling on this top pill.

Then, Zong Shou took up the pill bottle and waved it in front of her, “You want to eat it?”

Zhao Yanran was instantly tempted. Even Xuan Yunlan’s brows relaxed. Just one of such a pill could give one huge benefits so who wouldn’t want?

In the next instance, Zong Shou giggled and kept the bottle, tossing towards Ruoshui, “This thing is so expensive. If I just give it to you like that, Yiren would scold me. It’s better if you exchange something for it. Xue’er open your mouth! This thing is so delicious…”

Chuxue opened her little mouth in loss, following which an ice blue pill was tossed into her mouth. It was extremely sweet. Ruoshui laughed involuntarily, pinching Chuxue’s nose bridge. If one didn’t have enough cultivation one couldn’t eat too much of it.

The corner of Zhao Yanran’s eyes twitched. She felt that this Zong Shou was asking for a beating.

She also felt envious about the luck of this person. Looking at how the heat of the ice energy soul mind pill hasn’t dissipated, it was just refined. The materials were mostly obtained from the beast tomb and most probably was made by Xuanyuan Yiren. His fiancée was a top pill refiner and he wouldn’t need to worry about lacking pills in the future.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t a guy, or she would snatch her over.

After teasing Zhao Yanran for a while, Zong Shou retracted his thoughts, taking a brush and started drawing on the soul stone.

Just as he started to focus, his brows suddenly raised as he looked into the distance. Only to see a hundred thousand feet away some cloud ships were sailing over.

Zong Shou smiled, thinking was this the counter-attacking measures of Yue Guanyun? Their speed is so quick!

Not Long later he saw several cloud ships enter his eyes. They looked majestic, looking out there were around 6-7 thousand.

They were mostly torn and tattered, who knows where they found the materials to fix and repair them. They looked really strange, making one suspect whether or not they would fall apart in the next moment. The soldiers were the same. The weapons on them were a wide variety, however, they all gave off strong energies.

“…they are wind pirates!”

Zong Shou slightly relaxed. It wasn’t like there weren’t any people living in the cloud ocean.

They were all sinners who were banished down over the years who survived in this harsh environment. They were all called sinners, some of which formed into groups and robbed and pillage ships under the cloud ocean. They survived in this black mist, sometimes charging up to snatch resources. They came along with the wind and left along with the wind, their tracks indiscernible. This is was why they were called wind pirates.

However, these people weren’t in the agreement of the sects of not killing one another.

Slightly shaking his head, Zong Shou gave a hand signal to Gu Liekong telling him not to show mercy. The latter understood and moments later a thousand warships had already formed up in an orderly manner. Just as those ships charged over in a scattered formation, those 800 energy destroying crossbows fired once more!

The entire space was illuminated by why the white light. In just a short moment, close to 600 of the 7 thousand cloud ships were blown apart, sinking.

The entire battlefield was dead silent. Following which those wind pirate ships were in a commotion as they crazily fled in all directions.

“It should be a coincidence. If they knew you had 800 energy destroying spiritual crossbows they would have fled as far as they could. That Yue Guanyun also wouldn’t have tried those useless acts.”

Zhao Yanran’s tone turned into one of cold mocking,” just some useless people why do you need to be so nervous? Why did you have to use the energy destroying crossbows? What is more surprising is that this army commander showed no mercy but his heart showed otherwise…”

Zong Shou smiled, lazy to bother about her. Following which she looked at the tens of ships, all the people on it had snow-like fur. They looked muscular and healthy, even better than the iron tiger race.

“That’s the snow tiger race?”

Zong Shou’s brows slightly raised upwards, thinking about something in his memory. He couldn’t help but stand up, “Chase them, don’t let them notice…”

Gu Liekong was startled and didn’t understand. A thousand cloud ships to travel in a hidden manner was difficult. However. he still gave the order. Just as all the wind pirates ships all went into the distance, the entire fleet suddenly changed their direction.

Ling Fakong and Zong Ling instantly cast spells. The black fog started to spread and hid the entire fleet within.

The snow lion race warships were escaping in a panicky matter. They didn’t check behind them, just heading into a mountain range with many peaks.

A moment later, a ten thousand feet high city which was built on the peak entered their eyes.
