Zhang Ruochen was going after Feng Yinchan and didn’t want her to escape, lest he leave behind future troubles.
Feng Yincan had two Impermanent Kings under her control, and the battle power that erupted out of her was comparable to some of the beings on the top of the Semi-Saint Outer List.
Moreover, there was no telling, did she have any other means?
The Ghost Raising Ancient Clan and the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan were able to compete with the Immortal Blood Clan at their peaks, and as the princess of the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan, she would surely have a lot of powerful cards.
Feng Yinchan’s current cultivation level was not very strong, as long as the Great Sikong and the Second Sikong were able to keep the two Undying Kings at bay. Zhang Ruochen was confident that he would be able to kill her even with his injured body.
Feng Yinchan escaped from the Governor’s Mansion and took the two traumatized Impermanent Kings with her as she flew at a rapid pace, rushing towards the central area of Sacred Brightness City.
When Zhang Ruochen was about to catch up with Feng Yinchan, she escaped back to the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion first and crossed into the lofty, atmospheric palace gates.
If the Green Winged Cicada was able to invite her to join her in dealing with Zhang Ruochen, then the Ghost Nurturing Ancient Clan and the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion must have a very deep cooperation.
“Still a step too late, letting her escape, in the future, there must be endless consequences.”
Zhang Ruochen sighed and stopped, not continuing his pursuit.
The Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion was not a mansion, but a huge, ancient palace city that exuded an ancient charm and gave off a sense of majesty.
In front of the palace gate, a wide square, all of which was paved with ten thousand jin jade stones.
The towering city walls were like rows of black mountains, with lightning patterns flowing on the walls, radiating a magnificent aura.
Standing on the ground, looking over the top of the city wall.
It was able to see that a magnificent vermillion palace building, some of which were built along the huge mountain, all the way up into the clouds, emitting lights that were like a sky full of stars, giving off an ethereal and mysterious feeling.
The outside of the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion was heavily guarded, and from time to time, there was a team of forbidden guards riding lion and tiger savage beasts, holding long spears as they cruised past along the lower part of the city wall.
In the distance, Zhang Ruochen looked at the plaque hanging above the palace gate, and when he saw the three words “Ling Xiao Palace”, his eyes narrowed slightly, feeling very piercing.
Eight hundred years ago, the words above the plaque should have read – Ming Emperor Palace.
The Imperial Palace of the Sacred Ming Central Empire.
Zhang Ruochen took out a sword, causing it to hover in midair, and took out the heads of Liao Huacheng and the Green Winged Cicada.
With a flash of sword light, it turned into a stream of light and flew out, taking the two bloody heads with it and nailing them on top of the plaque above the palace gate.
“Boom.”
The powerful sword qi, with a violent rushing force, shook the purple plaque into pieces and nailed the two human heads, on top of the wall.
In an instant, with the palace gate as the center, densely packed inscriptions emerged, forming a defensive formation that enveloped the entire Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion.
“Who is so bold as to attack the Heavenly King’s Mansion?”A deep and furious bellowing voice rang out, shaking the heaven and earth aura violently.
Someone dared to attack the Ling Xiao Heavenly King Mansion?
Sacred realm beings didn’t have such guts.
The cultivators in the surrounding area were all startled and looked in the direction of the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion.
“Crap, someone used a sword to split the plaque of the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, could it be that they want to declare war with the imperial court?”
“Who is so raw, has he been captured?”
……
…………
In the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, a large sound of breaking wind resounded and a silhouette rushed out.
Those soldiers patrolling, also all gathered to the outer gate of the palace gate in a tight manner, pulling out their war soldiers, with an air of saber rattling.
“Quickly look …… that’s the heads of Commander Liao and Commander Greenwing …… someone killed them ……” a terrifiedvoice rang out.
The killing of the two commanders and the destruction of the plaque on the palace gate was undoubtedly a hard slap to the Ling Xiao Heavenly King House, making the Heavenly King House lose face.
One of the Saint realm giants of the Ling Xiao Heavenly King Mansion personally appeared and gave an order, ”Immediately blockade the entire city area, never let him escape. Provoking the Ling Xiao Heavenly King Mansion will only lead to death.”
By the time the area of the city was blocked, Zhang Ruochen had already escaped and reentered the Phoenix Dance Palace.
In the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, in a magnificent temple, a group of mighty overlords that had shaken Sacred Brightness City were gathered in one hall, discussing strategies to deal with Zhang Ruochen.
They included the five commanders of the Canglong Army, three of the Four Great Princes, Princess Feng Yinchan of the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan, and Yin Xuanji, the number one master of the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan.
On top of that, a Saint realm giant from the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion and the military lord of the Cang Long Army had all descended in their true forms, sitting at the very top.
With such a formation, even a Saint realm being would have to look to the wind and flee.
Who could imagine that they were, however, merely conferring on how to capture a fifth-ranked half-saint junior, or rather, how to kill him.
Seal Silver Cicada’s figure was slender, looking like a fourteen or fifteen year old girl. In reality, it wasn’t her physical body; her physical body, left behind in the netherworld, hadn’t been able to bring it out at all.
She and Yin Xuan Ji, only the Sacred Soul escaped the netherworld.
The current physical body was selected from among the ten thousand year old corpses included in the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan, and the degree of fit with her Sacred Soul, reached seventy percent.
The owner of the physical body had been ten thousand years ago, an everlasting Saint realm giant, and even though he had lived close to a thousand years, he was still like a teenage girl. Even when he died, his appearance remained unchanged and would not decay for ten thousand years.
Fusing a holy body, Feng Yinchan’s cultivation had indeed skyrocketed.
However, the physical body and the Saint Soul were not a hundred percent match, and there would be a great drawback, and as their cultivation deepened, that drawback would become more and more obvious.
“It was indeed Zhang Ruochen who killed the Green Winged Cicada, I can be certain of that.”
There was a coldness in Feng Yincicada’s voice as he added, “Zhang Ruochen was followed by two Buddhist monks. Based on their physical features, as well as the martial arts techniques and means that they have executed, one can guess that it is likely that they are the Great Sikong and the Second Sikong on top of the Semi-Sacred Outer List.”
Chi Yutang sat in the seat opposite Feng Yincan and let out a cold laugh, “No wonder Zhang Ruochen was able to kill several Commanders one after another after only breaking through to Half-Saint not long ago, so it turns out that he had such powerful helpers.”
Feng Yinchan glanced towards Chi Yutang, revealing a sneer and did not say anything more, obviously not bothering to remind him.
It was true that Zhang Ruochen had two helpers at the level of the Half-Saint Outer Ranking, but his own strength was also very powerful.
Anyone who underestimated him would die a horrible death.
The Crow Dragon Army Master said, “Zhang Ruochen has had contact with the Grand Sect Leader, the Second Sect Leader, and the Divine Son of the Blood God Sect at the Black Market Headquarters in the Tiantai Prefecture, so the appearance of their two monks is not a surprise.”
“What really gives people a headache is that Zhang Ruochen should have a secret treasure on his body that can completely conceal his aura, so that he cannot be found at all by using the Sacred Thoughts.”
“Furthermore, his spiritual power is very powerful and can detect the aura of a Saint in advance. Every time this Saint arrived, he escaped one step ahead of him, it’s really quite detestable.”
With that, the Crow Dragon Army Master stared over to the five commanders and commanded, “Yan Tong and Stargazer Tower, the five of you, recently today, temporarily refrain from leaving the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, lest you be assassinated by Zhang Ruochen again.”
Yan Tong and Star Worshipping Floor were quite unconvinced, rubbing their fists and leaping into action, eager to go and compete with Zhang Ruochen.
The two of them were far superior to the Green Winged Cicada in terms of cultivation, and were the strongest amongst the Ten Great Commanders, yet they were forced to cower in the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion by a junior who had just attained the Half-Saint realm, and naturally, they were very angry in their hearts.
However, the military lord had already given his word, so they naturally didn’t dare to disobey the military order.
That Saint realm giant from the Ling Xiao Heavenly King Mansion said, ”This Saint has already received news that Chi Wan Banzai will be rushing back in the last two days. At that time, we can completely set up traps with ease and let Zhang Ruochen die without a burial place along with his helpers.”
“Second brother is finally coming back! Haha! That’s really great, now we’ll see how Zhang Ruochen will still be rampant? Offending the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, no matter who it is, it can only lead to death.”Chi Yutang laughed out loud.
Tonight, a series of events occurred that once again stirred Sacred Ming City.
“Two more commanders have fallen, among them, even including the profoundly cultivated Green Winged Cicada, the Crow Dragon Army has already died five commanders in a row.”
“The news has been confirmed, it was indeed the Time and Space Transmitter Zhang Ruochen who ordered the killings, the princess of the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan, who saw him exert the power of time and space with her own eyes.”
“Zhang Ruochen’s performance was very strong, beheading two commanders in a row, and personally killing outside the palace gate of the Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion, shattering the plaque, and nailing the heads of the two commanders, on top of the city wall.”
After a night of fermentation, the next morning, the news that Zhang Ruochen had killed Liao Huacheng and the Green Winged Cicada spread throughout the streets of Sacred Bright City.
Those young cultivators, feeling their blood boiling, couldn’t wait to be Zhang Ruochen and do something so sensational.
As for, the reason why Zhang Ruochen had killed the five commanders, not many among the young people went to study it in depth. Young cultivators, by nature, were eager to obtain great power and to become famous in one battle.
In Shengming City, the number of young cultivators who worshipped Zhang Ruochen was increasing, and they were on the verge of catching up with the new top ranked scholar “Cai Jinglun” and the Tai Sui King “Ji Wan Banzai”.
Of course, there were also some who held a disparaging attitude.
“It is rumored that Hail Chi will soon be rushing back to Sacred Brightness City, Zhang Ruochen’s good days are numbered, and the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion will definitely launch a counterattack.”
“The Ling Xiao Heavenly King’s Mansion has invited a princess from the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan and a human master from the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan to be used specifically against Zhang Ruochen.”
In recent days, Chu Siyuan, who was a guest of the Cai Family, also had a head as big as a bucket.
He simply hadn’t expected that Zhang Ruochen was so capable of tossing and turning that he would cause such a big storm that the entire Sacred Brightness City was turned upside down.
If he was allowed to continue making a mess, he was surely going to stab the sky.
Using his spiritual power, Chu Siyuan wanted to project Zhang Ruochen’s hiding place to stop him from continuing to kill, and at the same time, he was also worried that the Lingxiao Heavenly King’s Mansion would arrange some extreme means to deal with Zhang Ruochen.
However, the projection was unsuccessful.
An extremely powerful spiritual figure had masked the aura on Zhang Ruochen’s body, and even Chu Siyuan could not project the results.
“I, Chu Siyuan, have a lifetime of spiritual power attainments that are no weaker than anyone else’s. Who on earth is it that is able to obscure the heavenly chances?”
Chu Siyuan’s temper was stubborn and defiant, his two hands cupped into fists and hammered into his chest.
With a snort, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He painted with his own blood, and with the power of the Dao of Painting, he projected again.
How could the Patriarch of the Painting Sect admit defeat?
Chu Siyuan had put his life on the line and finally projected a rough location, however, he was still unable to pinpoint Zhang Ruochen’s exact location, and trying to locate him was undoubtedly like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Naturally, Chu Siyuan didn’t know that Zhang Ruochen was wearing the Buddha beads gifted by Master Indra on his body, which was enough to conceal his aura.
How easy was it to find him?
