Soldier against soldier, general against general.
Since, the Sect Leader’s Lady had sent Gu Linfeng to make contact with the Huangtian Tribe, the Huangtian Tribe had also sent an Imperial Daughter to negotiate with him. Both of them were pivotal figures of the younger generation and had a high say in their respective camps.
Of course, it was for this very reason that Zhang Ruochen did not get to meet that Xia Prince, and he could not help but feel some regret in his heart.
That Prince Xia was the truly formidable figure.
Even so, through a series of contacts, Zhang Ruochen had a general understanding of the forces sent to Tiantai Prefecture by the Yellow Sky Tribe.
According to what the Yellow Heavenly Empress had said, not only had they brought some of the top powerhouses from the Northern Domain, but they had also gathered some Immortal Blood Clan Saints who had long been lurking in Tiantai Prefecture, and were strong enough to cooperate with the Sect Leader’s Lady in seizing control of the Blood God Sect.
The vast majority of the infiltrators who had escaped from the Blood God Cult had also recovered their true bodies and gathered in the Nebula Mansion.
The number of strong individuals in the Nebula Mansion was indeed somewhat terrifying, destroying a sect and destroying a faction was a completely easy task.
From start to finish, Zhang Ruochen was very careful and cautious, not daring to reveal a single crack.
When the negotiation was over, Zhang Ruochen immediately bid farewell to the Yellow Heavenly Empress and left the Nebula Mansion.
His purpose of coming to the Nebula Mansion had been achieved, and it could be ascertained that a large number of high-ranking figures from the Yellow Sky Tribe were indeed gathered here, and just the Immortal Blood Race Saints that had been seen amounted to seven, and there was no telling how many more Immortal Blood Race Saints there were among those that hadn’t shown themselves?
The voice of the Saint Eating Flower resounded in Zhang Ruochen’s mind, “So much nourishment, I’m really looking forward to it somewhat, sucking up all of the Immortal Blood Race’s Saint Saints. In this way, my cultivation level will definitely be able to grow by a large margin.”
“There will be a chance.”Zhang Ruochen said.
The region where the Black Market General Altar was located had a convergence of evil qi and the soil was pregnant with Yin Fiends, thus, the rules of heaven and earth were somewhat special. The sky was shrouded in thick dark clouds all year round, making it difficult to see sunlight, as if it always existed in darkness.
On the streets, there was a green-coloured ghost lamp suspended, dimly lit and shadowed.
Zhang Ruochen walked alone on top of the wide street, pondering over the problem, ”Even if the imperial court and the Confucian Way would rush to the Black Market General Altar to deal with the Yellow Sky Tribe’s cultivators, I’m afraid that they wouldn’t be able to mobilise their armies, and at most, they would only be able to send a few formidable Sacred Realm powerhouses to surround and kill the Summer King. It seems that we still need to use the power of the Black Market to have a chance to wipe out the Yellow Sky Clan’s cultivators.”
The Black Market General Altar, after all, was a sensitive area, and if the imperial court really mobilised a large number of troops over, I was afraid that the Black Market and the imperial court would go to war first, and there would be no way to deal with the Immortal Blood Clan.
Just as Zhang Ruochen was thinking about how to pass the news to the Black Market’s top management, suddenly, sensing something, he immediately stopped and looked around.
“Illusion.”
On the street, there was an illusionary realm that Zhang Ruochen accidentally stepped into.
Only, the illusion was not brilliantly arranged, and with Zhang Ruochen’s mental strength strength, he saw through it with a single glance.
In the illusionary realm, two pairs of men and women stood at the four corners, and all four of them had a crystal cupped in their hands, and were running the illusionary formation with all their might, wanting to kill Zhang Ruochen with the power of the illusionary formation.
“What’s the origin? Four Illusionists with less than 40th rank of mental power are trying to deal with me?”
Zhang Ruochen felt a bit amused, after all, he was now a Spiritual Power Saint, and was considered to be standing at the top of the pyramid, wherever he passed by, shouldn’t all beings kneel to greet him?
Obviously, those four Illusionists saw that Zhang Ruochen was very young and dressed like a rich boy, so they took him as a fat goat, wanting to kill him and seize the treasures on him.
The Black Market General Altar was originally a place where evil experts gathered, and most of the headquarters of the major evil forces in the 36 provinces of the Tiantai Prefecture were set up here.
There is no law and order here, there is only the living law of the jungle, every day there will be killings, I don’t know how many self-righteous children of the world, clan talent want to go to the black market altar to see the world, but all the corpses and bones are not survived.
The four people controlling the illusion were disciples of the Tian Luo Sect, one of the top evil forces in the black market. They not only practised martial arts, but also spiritual power and illusion, and were also considered to be well-known characters in Tiantai Prefecture, known as the “Four Evils of Tian Luo”.
The leader of the Four Evils of Heavenly Law, Lu Yi, had already reached the realm of Third Order Half Saint, and also had quite high attainments in spiritual power and illusion arts.
At the position of the north-east corner, Lu Yi cupped the psychedelic crystal in one hand, controlling the illusion formation, and instructed Chen Nan, who was standing at the north-west corner, saying, “Oldest three, that brat is already lost inside the illusion formation, so go and finish him off.”
Chen Nan, who appeared a little thin, had a grim smile on his face as he lifted up a two-foot-long short sword and hurriedly swept towards Zhang Ruochen.
“What an unlucky fellow, how dare he enter the Black Market General Altar alone, he is simply looking for death.”
Chen Nan’s wrist flicked, and the short sword struck Zhang Ruochen’s back spine like a ray of green light.
“Boom.”
Something unexpected to the Four Evils of Tian Luo happened, the sharp short sword, colliding with Zhang Ruochen’s body, surprisingly made a crisp sound of gold and stone.
Chen Nan felt his fingers tingling, and his five finger bones were about to break off in general.
This sword didn’t even look like it was striking a person’s body, instead, it looked like it was striking on top of a copper wall.
Zhang Ruochen sighed softly, his arms spread out, and a powerful and unrivalled forceful Qi surged out from his back, surging like ripples.
“Crack.”
The two-foot-long short sword, in an instant, snapped into six sections.
“Boom.”
Chen Nan’s right arm burst apart, turning into a cloud of blood mist, and even the bones of his arm were turned into bone powder. He fell to the ground, his mouth emitting howls in a very miserable manner.
The other three evils were also shocked, knowing that they had encountered a ruthless character, and immediately executed their body techniques, fleeing in three separate directions.
“Still want to escape? Get down on the ground for me.”
Zhang Ruochen infused his spiritual energy into his voice and sent it out in all directions.
Lu Yi, Wang Qianfang, and Hua Xue had only just taken a step when they heard Zhang Ruochen’s voice and trembled as if they had suffered a lightning strike.
“Boom boom.”
The three evils all fell to the ground, bleeding from their seven holes, staring in utter horror at the young man standing in the centre of the street.
One must know that all four of them were all at the Half-Saint level, and were considered to have a certain status, yet, in front of a young man, they were cleaned up and left defenseless.
So powerful that they didn’t even dare to give birth to the thought of resisting.
“This person, must be a Saint realm giant, only that his cultivation is so profound that he can be youthful forever, that’s why he looks very young.”In Lu Yi’s mind, he thought so.
Zhang Ruochen had not dealt a cruel hand, otherwise, all four of them would have already died.
Leaving them alive was naturally because he wanted to ask something.
Lu Yi climbed up from the ground without a trace of arrogance that a Half Saint should have, kneeling on the ground, he kowtowed to Zhang Ruochen, saying, “Greetings to Senior Saint, just now, it was us who had the eyes to see and offended your Elder, so please, for the sake of our Heavenly Luo Sect Patriarch, spare us this time.”
Chen Nan, Wang Qianfang, and Hua Xue, all hurriedly climbed up as well, enduring the injuries on their bodies, and knelt in front of Zhang Ruochen, praying for his forgiveness.
In front of a Saint, all beings were ants.
Only a Saint was qualified to dialogue with a Saint as an equal.
“Tian Luo Sect.”
Zhang Ruochen recited to himself, as if he had heard this name somewhere.
Soon, Zhang Ruochen remembered.
Back then, when Ling Feiyu’s mind was traumatised and turned into a stone beauty, Zhang Ruochen had fought a great battle with the strongest members of the Demon Sect in order to take her away.
In that battle, there were Evil Saints from the Black Market involved, wanting to seize the treasures on Zhang Ruochen’s body. Yao Ji, the Tian Luo Sect’s Patriarch, was one of them.
The corner of Zhang Ruochen’s mouth, hooked slightly, revealing a strange smile as he said, “Your Sect Master, should be of the Divine Fox Half-Human Race, named Yao Ji, right?”
“That’s right.”
It turned out that this Saint Senior knew the Patriarch, and all of the Four Evils of Tian Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
Since, he knew the Patriarch, he would buy the Patriarch a favour anyways, and shouldn’t bother with them anymore.
“It just so happens that this Saint wants to pay a visit to Patriarch Yao, you guys lead the way in front!”Zhang Ruochen said.
“This ……”
The Four Evils revealed a hesitant expression, not daring to take the risk of bringing a Saint realm giant back to the sect. What should they do in case this person was an enemy of the Tian Luo Sect?
Lu Yi asked, “A Saint’s visit to the Tian Luo Sect is a first-class event, why don’t you leave your name first, and when we report to the Sect Master and prepare the reception ceremony, it won’t be too late for you to ascend to the Tian Luo Sect.”
“Right, right, with senior’s identity and cultivation, visiting the Tian Luo Sect, we should hold a grand reception ceremony.”Wang Qianfang said carefully.
Zhang Ruochen naturally knew what was going through their minds and snorted coldly, “This Saint and Patriarch Yao are close friends with a lifelong friendship, if you guys don’t lead the way, don’t blame this Saint for being impolite to you.”
A thick holy might escaped from Zhang Ruochen’s body, pressurising the four evils of Tian Luo’s legs to tremble, almost kneeling on the ground.
It was only at this moment that they recognised the fact that the young man standing in front of them was a towering Saint, and that there were no conditions to speak of at all.
Lu Yi, Wang Qianfang, Chen Nan, and Hua Xue led the way in front, while Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and followed them unhurriedly.
While travelling forward, he was comprehending the Sacred Dao and consolidating the realm of the Second Happening Quasi-Saint.
The Heavenly Luo Sect’s Patriarch, Yao Ji, was an enchanting beauty with three snow-white fox tails and skin as white as jade, much like a stunning fox fairy.
“A close friend who has a lifelong friendship with this Saint?”
Yao Ji received the news sent back by Lu Yi, and a strange look appeared on her charming face, and in her mind, several figures emerged. Those few people, all of them had lifelong friendships with her, just don’t know which one is the one who came?
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Yao Ji sensed a vast holy might that came in from outside the hall.
“With a loud bang, the bronze door of the hall opened, and a strong cold wind blew in from outside, making a whistling sound that reverberated around the beams in the hall.
The next moment, Yao Ji saw that in the centre of the hall, there was actually a young silhouette already standing.
That young silhouette, standing straight, with his hands behind his back, appeared to be heroic, his body was wrapped in a layer of misty blood qi, with her cultivation, she couldn’t even see this person’s real body.
