Zhao Qilin knew that Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power was very powerful, thus, he didn’t dare to hide anything and said, “One of the three major branches of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dao, the Birth and Death Temple and the Black Market, have both incited the flames.”
“However, the most detestable ones are the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan and the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan, who, under the false pretence of our Sect, have even directed their spearheads towards the Lady Lin Concubine, who resides in the Central Imperial City, and whose hearts are worthy of death.”
A cold aura emanated from Zhang Ruochen’s body as he said, “Faking the name of the Demon Sect?”
Zhao Qilin was afraid that Zhang Ruochen would misunderstand and hurriedly explained the reason for this.
It turned out that both the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan and the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan had undercover agents lurking within the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect, wanting to take advantage of the hatred between the Demon Sect’s Divine Son, Ouyang Huan, and Zhang Ruochen to stir up trouble.
“Please don’t worry, Mr Zhang, the Head Holy Woman of our sect personally rushed to the Central Imperial City to deal with them, Lady Lin will definitely be fine.”
The duty of the Dark Night Palace was to spy on intelligence, and as one of the chiefs, Zhao Qilin naturally knew a lot of information.
“The Ghost Raising Ancient Clan and the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan.”
Zhang Ruochen did his best to control the emotions in his heart and asked again, “Is the Demon Cult’s Sacred Head Maiden still in the Central Imperial City?”
“It should still be there.”Zhao Qilin said.
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and said as calmly as he could, “Alright, you can leave!”
“Really let me leave?”
“What’s the point of all that nonsense, if I tell you to leave, you’ll leave, believe it or not, this seat will break all the bones in your entire body with one claw before throwing you away?”
The pot stretched out a furry fist and said very violently.
Zhao Qilin was truly a little afraid of this savage beast that didn’t know whether it was a dragon or a rabbit, and without any further hesitation, he immediately stood up, bursting out his fastest speed and swept out into the distance.
A faint fragrant breeze drifted to Zhang Ruochen’s side.
Princess Baili fixed her stance and stared at the direction Zhao Qilin had left, saying, “Really let him go?”
“Although this person has become a Saint, he is not a hardened criminal. Keeping him alive might be useful in the future.”Zhang Ruochen said.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t like people who were greedy and afraid of death, however, it was a good thing if such a person was in a hostile force.
“As the year is approaching, perhaps, it’s time to make a trip to the Central Imperial City.”
Zhang Ruochen looked at the grey sky, his eyes a little misty, and in his mind, the figure of Concubine Lin appeared.
Not only was he the Crown Prince of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire, he was also the Ninth Prince of the Yunwu County Kingdom. In Consort Lin’s body, Zhang Ruochen felt motherly love for the first time, and had long since treated her as his own mother.
Over the years, it had been a long time since they had been reunited as mother and son, they hadn’t spent the New Year’s Eve together, they hadn’t eaten New Year’s Eve dinner together.
While everyone was reuniting, they were alone.
Zhang Ruochen had been dodging the arrests and pursuits of the imperial court, either hiding in the Two Eyes Sect or in the Blood God Sect, and he did not know how many life and death killings he had gone through in order to seize the cultivation resources and to raise his cultivation.
Concubine Lin was just a mortal, her heart wasn’t as strong as Zhang Ruochen’s, perhaps, in her world, Zhang Ruochen was all she had.
Every time news about Zhang Ruochen being in danger came out, she was surely worried, surely shedding tears, surely grieving and suffering like every mother.
It wasn’t that Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to go see her, but he didn’t dare to go.
Zhang Ruochen had too many enemies, and if he allowed those enemies’ attention to be focused on Concubine Lin, it would only harm her.
Now it was different, those enemies were already dealing with Concubine Lin, so how could Zhang Ruochen not go?
The Qiankun Realm had already been born out and evolved into a stable and safe world, and it was time to take Concubine Lin in.
Zhang Ruochen left the Immortal Machine Mountain and set foot on the road to the Central Imperial City.
The Central Imperial City, was once the capital city of the Green Pool Central Empire, and after the Qing Emperor and Chi Yao united the world, it naturally became the capital of the First Central Empire.
After Chi Yao claimed the throne, he led the saints and used heaven-defying means to change the spiritual vein trend of the entire Kunlun Realm.
The spiritual veins of the world converged in the Central Imperial City.
In this way, the central imperial city is to become the entire Kunlun world spirit of the most dense place, the various cultivators constantly converge here, the city is expanded and expanded, the degree of prosperity do not know how many times more than the year’s pool Qing capital city.
It could be said that the Central Imperial City was the symbol of the human race’s greatest prosperity, and its birth was a great miracle.
To Zhang Ruochen, the Central Imperial City was naturally a dragon’s den, however, the Immortal Blood Clan, the Deadly Zen Cult, and the Fengdu Ghost City were all in considerable turmoil, and the vast majority of the court’s saints should not be in the Central Imperial City.
Now was the best time to go to the Central Imperial City.
In the Northern Domain’s Hongchuan Prefecture, there was a spatial wormhole that could lead directly to the Central Imperial City.
Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yichen both cultivated the Formless and Phaseless Thirty-Six Transformations, and the two of them changed their body shape, appearance, and aura, transforming into an old man and an old woman with frowns all over their faces as they arrived at the location of the spatial wormhole.
Yellow Smoke Dust’s head was full of white hair, his body was stooped, his voice hoarse, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have hidden it from you, but, at that time, your three veins were broken, it was the weakest time, I’m afraid that after you learnt about the news, you would ……”
“There’s no need to explain to me, I understand everything.”
Zhang Ruochen squeezed Huang Yichen’s hand tightly and smiled gently, “In the world, there aren’t really many people who truly treat you wholeheartedly, and every one of them is worth cherishing.”
Huang Yichen gently bit her lips and leaned her head against Zhang Ruochen’s chest, a look that was both sweet and bitter flowing from her eyes.
Zhang Ruochen sensed that her mood was fluctuating greatly and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
Huang Yichen collected her emotions and gently punched Zhang Ruochen’s chest, saying somewhat haughtily, “I’m just curious, I’m so old and ugly now, will you be disgusted looking at me?”
“How could it be?”
Zhang Ruochen laughed dumbly and stroked Huang Yichen’s wrinkled face, saying, “You gave me your youngest and most beautiful years, and in my heart, you will always look the youngest and most beautiful.”
“In case I really become old and ugly in the future while you are still very young, I’m afraid you won’t say such words.”Huang Yichen said in a low voice.
“In the future, if you age one year, I will accompany you to age one year. If you don’t leave me, I will live and die with you.”Zhang Ruochen gripped her hand a little tighter.
In the distance, a familiar voice came from the distance and said with some sighs of relief, “To be able to love each other so much when they are already so old, is truly enviable.”
The Cang Lan Martial Saint brought the six Female Saints to the vicinity of the spatial wormhole.
The person who spoke just now was none other than the Liu Li Female Saint who followed behind Cang Lan Martial Saint, and she looked at Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yichen embracing each other, revealing a very envious expression.
Zhang Ruochen was worried about being recognised by them and pulled Huang Yichen into the crowd.
About an hour later, the spatial wormhole opened, and Zhang Ruochen, Huang Yichen, as well as the Canglan Martial Saint and the six female saints, walked into it.
By the time they stepped out of the spatial wormhole, the crowd had already arrived at the Central Imperial City, appearing on top of a wide white stone square.
“Greetings to Lord Martial Saint.”
On the square, a group of imperial golden armoured troops waited there, and when they saw the Canglan Martial Saint appear, they all knelt down.
Those other cultivators around them, knowing the identity of the Canglan Martial Saint, were also incomparably terrified, kneeling down and bowing in unison, not daring to raise their heads.
Zhang Ruochen stared towards Cang Lan Martial Saint, and secretly said in his heart, no wonder she was so high-minded, she was indeed very powerful, and it was estimated that no one dared to offend her in the Central Imperial City.
Right at this moment, Zhang Ruochen’s remaining light of his eyes spotted an extremely beautiful figure and hurriedly lowered his head.
Only to see that the Sacred Book Talented Lady was dressed in a green-coloured Confucian garment, walking out from the Imperial Golden Armour Army, with her hair tied in a bun on her head, she was actually a woman dressed as a man, with her lips red and teeth white, making her look exceptionally handsome.
However, her spiritual power was quite profound, and almost no one present was able to see her true appearance.
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden smiled with a beaming smile and said, “Congratulations to Sister Cang Lan on her breakthrough to the Passing Sky Realm and for recapturing the Burning Sky Sword, a double blessing, a joyous occasion.”
Upon seeing the Sacred Book Talent Girl, Cang Lan Martial Saint’s icy face only revealed a smile and said, “Nalan, why did you personally rush over?”
“Rushed to pick you up and return you to the palace, rushed to be the first to congratulate you. How about it, surprise?”The Sacred Book Talented Lady said.
The Canglan Martial Saint always felt that the Sacred Book Talented Lady was a bit abnormal today, however, she was indeed in a good mood as she had gained a lot from this trip to the Northern Region, so she didn’t think much about it.
Under the flank of the Imperial Golden Armour Army, Canglan Martial Saint and the Sacred Book Talented Lady left together, heading in the direction of the Zi Wei Palace.
Right at this moment, a spiritual force, transmitted into Zhang Ruochen’s mind, “Tonight at midnight, Qinghong Pavilion.”
Zhang Ruochen revealed a bitter smile as he stared in the direction where the Sacred Book Talented Lady had left, and just then, the Sacred Book Talented Lady also turned to look.
The gazes of the two slightly touched before they staggered apart again.
“Surprisingly, she was still recognised! No, she wasn’t waiting for the Canglan Martial Saint, but for me. That is to say …… she knew in advance that I was coming to the Central Imperial City, and Smokey and I have the Buddha Emperor’s refined Buddha beads to mask our breath, so how did she know our whereabouts?”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes became sullen.
The Sacred Book Talented Lady knew his whereabouts like the back of her hand, would other great figures of the Confucian Way know his whereabouts as well?
Huang Yichen could tell something and asked, “She found out?”
“Well, she asked me to meet this night.”Zhang Ruochen did not hide it.
Yellow Smoke said, “Go ahead!”
“You don’t mind?”Zhang Ruochen laughed.
“With the character of the Sacred Book Talented Lady and your principles, why should I mind? I think she must have something very important to tell you when she asked you to meet.”Huang Yichen said.
Zhang Ruochen was already a bit impatient and said, “Let’s go to the Boundary Son’s Mansion first.”
Every Boundary Son had a Boundary Son Mansion in the Central Imperial City, and Concubine Lin was living in Huang Yicun’s Boundary Son Mansion.
With Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yichen’s cultivation, naturally, they were able to conceal themselves from the guards watching over the Boundary Son’s Mansion and enter the inner mansion.
From afar, Zhang Ruochen saw the somewhat haggard back of Concubine Lin, who was sitting on the high threshold, staring at the sky outside the mansion walls, looking somewhat wooden.
For some reason, Zhang Ruochen unexpectedly felt a heartache, his eyes were a little moist, his voice was dry, and he softly said, “Mother.”
