“Where’s the other Green-eyed Blue Blood Pearl?”
The Corpse Emperor recited a sentence to himself, raised his head and looked in the direction outside the city, then, stretched out a white palm.
Outside the city, Princess Bai Li, Sun Di Di, and Er Sikong, were fighting against the cultivators of the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan, fighting to a standstill.
The reason why Princess Bai Li had taken action was naturally because, the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan’s killing spree in the ancient city had enraged her, and she was prepared to teach them a good lesson.
With the power of the three great experts, they had actually intercepted all of the powerhouses of an ancient clan, making it impossible for them to get away.
“Wow.”
On the battlefield, a green-eyed, blue-blooded bead flew out from the body of the Ghost Raising Ancient Race’s Princess Feng Yincicada, passed through the towering city wall, and fell into the Corpse Emperor’s hands.
It was only at this point that the cultivators outside the city, perceived the powerful aura emanating from the Corpse Emperor.
The aura was so intimidating that even the Associate Saints felt fear.
“What happened?”
Sun Di Di and Er Sikong realised that they were afraid that there was a shocking change happening in the city, so they did not intercept the cultivators of the Ghost Raising Ancient Race anymore.
They turned into two streams of light and rushed towards the city.
Princess Baili’s pair of beautiful eyes were also staring towards the ancient city, and then, drawing back, she executed the Sky’s Edge Steps at arm’s length, arriving at the centre area of the ancient city one step ahead of Sun Dadi and Er Sikong.
“Just who is it, the aura emanating from it, how could it be so terrifying?”
Sun Dadi had just rushed into the city when goosebumps grew all over his body.
A chill went straight to his head, and before he even saw the Corpse Emperor, he had an urge to immediately turn around and flee.
“The more terrifying the enemy is, the more we have to rush back, I’m afraid we can’t cope with just a few of them with just Senior Uncle.”
Er Sikong pulled Sun Dadi along and travelled forward, the two of them came to a hundred feet away from the Corpse Emperor before stopping.
“Finally all together!”
The Corpse Emperor held the two Green-eyed Blue-blooded Beads in his left and right hands respectively, and then, pressed them towards the location of the eye sockets.
The green-eyed turquoise blood beads, fused completely with the eyeballs.
His pupils became even more crystalline and radiant, as if they were two green-coloured emeralds filled with spirituality.
However, Zhang Ruochen knew that the Corpse Emperor’s eyes were extremely dangerous and could erupt with a terrifying power that could kill a Lower Realm Saint.
The Corpse Emperor’s gaze, landed on Zhang Ruochen’s body as he gently nodded, ”Although, this Emperor has always stayed inside the Green-eyed Blue-blooded Bead, but he has still heard of your name. The fact that Sacred Monk Sumeru was able to select you as his successor means that he is thinking that you can continue to rule the temporal and spatial order of the Kunlun Realm in his place.”
“The Corpse Emperor has met Saint Monk Sumeru?”
Zhang Ruochen did not show any weakness and locked eyes with the Corpse Emperor, his gaze carrying a sharp aura.
“Rather, I’ve met him once.”
The Corpse Emperor was elegant and graceful, showing a noble aura everywhere, and added, “Today, this Emperor will give the Sacred Monk of Sumeru a face, so I won’t make things difficult for you juniors.”
Even though the Corpse Emperor said this, Zhang Ruochen did not let his guard down, running the Saint Qi in his body to the extreme, guarding against dealing with a sudden strike.
The Corpse Emperor appeared to be full of valour, venturing out in a majestic pace, his sleeves fluttering as he walked in the direction of the city gates.
The cultivators of the Corpse Catching Ancient Race were thrown into a panic, terrified.
Once the Corpse Emperor left, wouldn’t they just be at Zhang Ruochen’s mercy?
“Lord Corpse Emperor, please take us away with you.”
A Paragon from the Corpse Catching Ancient Race raised his voice and shouted.
The Corpse Emperor obviously had something very important to do and did not intend to take the Corpse Catching Ancient Race’s cultivator with him, and without turning his head back, he only uttered, “Zhang Ruochen, let them live, and when we meet again in the future, we won’t have to face each other in life and death.”
That voice became more and more subtle, and in the end, it disappeared along with the Corpse Emperor’s figure.
It was only then that Xiao Hei exhaled a long breath, as if he had been pardoned, and said, “I suspect that that Corpse Emperor didn’t really want to spare us, but because he had just gained a new life, he didn’t have full certainty that he would be able to kill all of us.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “Knowing not to say anything, once we do, we will have no choice but to fight him to the death.”
There was no doubt that the Corpse Emperor’s strength had definitely reached the level of a Super Tier 1 powerhouse.
However, Zhang Ruochen’s group of people were not soft persimmons that could be squashed so easily.
Zhang Ruochen was a first tier powerhouse, Xiao Hei was a first tier powerhouse, Princess Baili was a first tier powerhouse, and the Dashekong and Ershekong teamed up to be considered first tier powerhouses.
Such a powerful lineup, even if the Corpse Emperor reaches the level of a super first tier powerhouse, the two sides fight, the number of victories and defeats is also 50/50.
The Corpse Emperor was not stupid, after waiting for 70,000 years, it was not easy to obtain a new life and usher in the second life, how could he do something he was not sure of?
Zhang Ruochen naturally didn’t want to fight with the Corpse Emperor because, in the event of a life and death battle, even if they were able to suppress the Corpse Emperor, they were afraid that they would still suffer heavy losses, and a large portion of them would probably fall.
Zhang Ruochen could not afford such a loss.
Neither side wanted to fight, and neither side felt the need to fight.
Da Sikong rubbed his hands together and said, ”The Heaven’s Destiny Emperor has been dead for seventy thousand years, but he has actually revived and wants to live a second life. This era is getting weirder and weirder, is it really like what Master said, that the peak of prosperity must be followed by a great calamity after a great era?”
The Corpse Emperor’s previous life was the Heaven’s Destiny Emperor 70,000 years ago, the first Great Emperor of the Human Race after the Middle Ages.
“In other eras, any one of the Nine Great Realm Sons could also be invincible among their peers. In this era, however, a large number of such characters have come forth. Even if they don’t belong to this era, they still prefer to squeeze into this era, is it really just a coincidence?”
As Sun Dadi uttered these words, he even glanced towards Zhang Ruochen, seemingly referring to something.
Whether it was the Ancient Remnant Seed from the Barbarian Beast Race, or the Heavenly Fate Emperor and Zhang Ruochen from the Human Race, neither of them actually belonged to this era.
However, they appeared in this era at the same time, which was indeed very abnormal.
Xiao Hei’s expression was very serious as he said, “The Corpse Emperor should be going to seize the Green Dragon Market Realm’s World Spirit, and only by obtaining the World Spirit will he be able to cultivate to the realm he once was at the fastest speed.”
“Then what are we waiting for, let’s set off immediately as well.”
Sun Di Di looked excited, knowing that the royal capital of the Green Dragon Dynasty was now a place where dragons converged, yet he still couldn’t wait to rush over there.
“There’s no rush, the World Spirit of the Green Dragon Ruins Realm should still take some time before it comes out, we don’t have to rush to the royal capital right now.”
Originally, Zhang Ruochen also planned to rush to the royal capital immediately, but after seeing the Corpse Emperor, he changed his mind.
Soon after, the royal capital would surely be killed in a bloodbath.
Only the stronger the strength, the more advantageous it would be.
Zhang Ruochen had his own plans in mind and decided to utilise the Sacred Pills in the Scroll World to raise the cultivation of all of them some more.
At the same time, he was also waiting for the flowering period of the Sacred Eating Flower to pass.
As long as the Sacred Eating Flower bore fruits, even if he was alone against the Corpse Emperor, Zhang Ruochen was certain that he would be able to separate himself from him.
Subsequently, Zhang Ruochen’s gaze was directed towards the cultivators of the Corpse Catching Ancient Race.
Sun Dadi asked, “Boss, are you really going to let them go?”
Huang Yichen said, “At this stage, there is no need for us to offend the Corpse Emperor. Once we go to war with the Corpse Emperor, it will only cheapen other forces.”
“Then let them leave, however, while the people can leave, all the heavenly treasures they have collected must be left behind.”Zhang Ruochen made a decision.
“Hehehe.”
Xiao Hei, Sun Di Di, Da Sikong, and Zhao Shiqi, all of them revealed excited smiles as they rushed into the midst of the Ancient Corpse Catching Race’s cultivators and began to forcefully seize them.
Before long, in the City Lord’s Mansion, a huge mountain was piled up, full of holy stones, holy jades, dan vials, and holy artefacts, and any of the treasures brought back to the Kunlun Realm could be sold for a hefty price.
There were also a few Half-Saints from the Ancient Corpse Catching Race that wanted to resist.
Zhang Ruochen did not hesitate to step in and behead them, setting an example in one fell swoop, scaring all the other Corpse Catching Ancient Race cultivators into kneeling on the ground, not daring to think of resisting again.
The three men and the cat acted like bandits, scavenging the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan’s treasures cleanly, almost as if they had taken off all their clothes.
The Cultivator of the Corpse Catching Ancient Race cried and mourned, feeling rather stifled.
They had come to the Green Dragon Ruins Realm to run east and west, to fight in the south and north, not knowing how much blood and sweat they had shed before collecting a large batch of heavenly materials and treasures.
Now it was bad, those heavenly materials and geomantic treasures had been looted, and even the treasures that they themselves had brought to the Green Dragon Market Realm had been hitched.
“Alright, you guys can leave now!”
Zhang Ruochen waved his hand, signalling that they could leave.
The Ancient Corpse Catching Clan’s cultivators looked at the treasures piled up in the City Lord’s Mansion and were a little reluctant to part with them, completely unable to walk away, wanting to retrieve one or two of them.
Da Sikong roared, “What are you looking at, things that don’t belong to you had better think less of them, haven’t seen greedy people like you.”
The Cultivators of the Corpse Catching Ancient Race didn’t dare to look any further and withdrew their gazes, scrambling towards the city gates, fearing that Zhang Ruochen would change his mind again.
Xiao Hei transformed into a black stream of light and rushed back from outside the city, shaking his head at Zhang Ruochen, saying, “The cultivators of the Ghost Cultivating Ancient Race have already fled far away, it will be difficult to catch up.”
“Then let’s not deal with them for now, anyway, the heavenly materials and treasures collected this time are already quite abundant.”Zhang Ruochen said.
The Ghost Nurturing Ancient Clan left in a hurry and didn’t take away many heavenly materials and treasures.
The vast majority of the treasures in this ancient city were now piled up inside the City Lord’s Mansion, and the variety was quite rich, with dozens of Sacred Pills alone.
Zhang Ruochen took all of the holy stones, holy jades, and holy artefacts into the Scroll World, and at the same time, planted all of the holy medicines into the Divine Soil Pill Garden.
As for the other treasures, they were distributed to the people according to the level of merit.
After doing all of this, Zhang Ruochen dispatched Sun Dadi and Zhao Shiqi, instructing them to head to the royal capital of the Green Dragon Dynasty to spy on the news and find out the current situation in the royal capital.
After Sun Dadi and Zhao Shiqi left, Huang Yichen walked out and said, “The fact that you kept the two of them with you means that many people will guess that Gu Linfeng, the divine son of the Blood God Sect, is Zhang Ruochen.”
“The identity of Gu Linfeng does have some value, and for the time being, I don’t intend to expose it.”
Zhang Ruochen contemplated for a moment before adding, “When they return from the King’s Capital, let them go in to the Scroll World to cultivate.”
Both the Blood God Sect and Endless Abyss had some hidden secrets that Zhang Ruochen wanted to continue to explore when he returned to the Kunlun Realm, and borrowing Gu Linfeng’s identity would make it easier to act.
After arranging everything, Zhang Ruochen entered the Scroll World and closed his mind once again, preparing to punch open the thirty-six Orifices of his legs and feet.
At the same time, Little Black entered the Divine Earth Pill Garden and picked the leaves of the Sacred Medicines, preparing to refine an elixir that would help all of them raise their cultivation levels a bit more again.
The showdown in the Green Dragon Market Realm was coming soon, and all the forces were rushing to the Green Dragon Dynasty, and only the stronger the overall strength of the crowd, the greater the chances of capturing the Spirit of the World would be.
